   [00:03.02]Section A


  [00:04.65]11. M: The baby crying next door kept me up all night.
  [00:09.48]W: She must be ill.
  [00:11.29]Q: What happened to the man?
  [00:29.10]12. M: Do you know when the test is?
  [00:32.66]W: It's on June 15th. It's only five days from now.
  [00:36.80]Q: What's the date today?
  [00:54.45]13. W: Your books are due on September 27th.
  [00:58.31]If you haven't finished using them by then,
  [01:00.45]you may renew them once.
  [01:02.56]M: Thank you very much.
  [01:03.89]I only need them for a few days.
  [01:06.16]Q: What's the man doing?
  [01:23.62]14. W: I must sit down. I'm exhausted 1!
  [01:28.22]M: They really should have supermarkets and taxis here.
  [01:31.41]You know, life isn't the same without them.
  [01:34.09]Q: How does the woman feel?
  [01:51.88]15. W: How was your trip to Chicago?
  [01:55.02]M: To tell the truth, I would rather have spent my vacation here.
  [01:59.26]Q: What does the man mean?
  [02:16.70]16. M: There are some cartoons after the news,
  [02:20.24]and then there's an adventure story.
  [02:23.30]W: What time does the adventure story start?
  [02:25.94]Q: What are they talking about?
  [02:43.57]17. M: There's Bill on his motorcycle.
  [02:46.96]Did he take it to the garage to be fixed 2?
  [02:50.13]W: Don't be silly, that would have been a waste of money.
  [02:53.06]It only had a flat tire.
  [02:54.99]Q: What conclusion can be drawn 3 from the woman's statement?
  [03:14.40]18. M: Paul says he doesn't like television.
  [03:18.44]W: Yes, but he seems to spend a lot of time watching it, doesn't he?
  [03:22.52]Q: What does the woman think about Paul?
  [03:42.12]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
  [03:45.85]Conversation One
  [03:47.95]W: Good evening, sir.
  [03:49.23]I've come to investigate the burglary that you phoned about.
  [03:53.29]Now can you tell me what you know about it?
  [03:56.27]M: Well, for a start, this isn't my house.
  [03:59.07]I'm just staying here for 6 months
  [04:00.87]while my parents are working in Japan.
  [04:03.49]So, apart from a few obvious things,
  [04:05.60]like the radio, the TV, the records and some paintings,
  [04:09.62]I don't really know what else is gone.
  [04:11.95]W: How exactly did you discover the burglary?
  [04:15.00]M: I went out at eight, as I do every Thursday,
  [04:18.80]to go to my Italian class at the Institute in Roland Street.
  [04:23.63]Afterwards I went to the Black Lion for a drink
  [04:25.94]and I got back here just half past ten.
  [04:28.90]W: How can you be so sure of the time?
  [04:31.35]M: Because I stayed in the club until closing time,
  [04:34.27]and it's only a two minute walk from here.
  [04:37.40]W: I see. And what did you find when you got back here?
  [04:41.32]M: All this mess you can see around you.
  [04:43.77]I just walked in through the front door and found this.
  [04:46.76]And it's the same upstairs everything smashed 5,
  [04:49.47]draws emptied and thrown about.
  [04:52.12]It's like an earthquake!
  [04:53.70]W: Do you know how the burglar 4 got in?
  [04:56.49]M: Yes, the lock on the kitchen door has been forced.
  [05:00.03]W: Well, how soon could you let us know exactly what has been stolen?
  [05:05.00]M: I suppose I'll have to write and tell my parents straightaway.
  [05:08.45]They're not due back until next month.
  [05:10.50]W: Well, if you don't mind.
  [05:11.75]I'll just check for fingerprints 6 and any other clues.
  [05:15.98]And if I were you, I'd get down to that letter straightaway.
  [05:20.06]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
  [05:26.16]19. Whose house has been burglarized?
  [05:44.67]20. What does the man usually do every Thursday?
  [06:03.12]21. How did the burglar get into the house?
  [06:21.59]22. What did the woman advise the man to do?
  [06:41.57]Conversation Two
  [06:43.88]W: Ron, what's your hobby?
  [06:45.99]M: I don't really have one.
  [06:47.21]I suppose that bowling 7 is the closest thing to a hobby that I have.
  [06:51.06]W: How about the other people in your family?
  [06:54.20]M: Well my son likes swimming and my wife has a garden.
  [06:58.23]She spends an hour or so every day working in it. How about you?
  [07:02.21]W: I have several hobbies but collecting coins is the one I like best.
  [07:06.67]I have coins from almost every country.
  [07:09.24]My favorite one is from China.
  [07:11.23]M: Have you ever been to China?
  [07:12.88]W: I want to someday.
  [07:14.42]So far I've been to Canada, Mexico and Japan.
  [07:18.11]Why don't you have a real hobby? Are you lazy?
  [07:21.45]M: I like bowling but it's kind of expensive.
  [07:24.40]The real reason I don't have a hobby is that I don't have the time.
  [07:28.72]W: Oh, come on, Ron. You aren't that busy, are you?
  [07:32.75]M: Yes, I am. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day.
  [07:37.18]Being a traveling sales man is harder than you think.
  [07:40.31]You know last week I was in Washington
  [07:41.90]and before that in New York.
  [07:43.76]And next week I have to go to Chicago.
  [07:46.01]W: It does sound like you're pretty busy.
  [07:48.35]I guess it's better just to stay here in the office.
  [07:51.15]At least I get to go home at 5 : 00 every night.
  [07:54.27]M: That's a lot better than 9 : 30
  [07:56.28]or 10 : 00 or sometimes midnight.
  [07:59.66]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
  [08:05.61]23. Where does the woman want to go someday?
  [08:25.04]24. Why doesn't the man have a real hobby?
  [08:43.42]25. What time does the woman usually finish work?
  [09:03.51]Section B
  [09:05.86]Passage One
  [09:07.96]By midday the sun was so strong
  [09:10.46]that Jim could not go any further.
  [09:13.36]There were no trees near the path,
  [09:15.40]so he took shelter under a big rock.
  [09:17.84]After drinking the rest of his water,
  [09:20.07]he took off his shirt and rolled it into a pillow.
  [09:23.11]Then he lay down on the ground and went to sleep.
  [09:25.80]It was late in the afternoon when he awoke.
  [09:28.19]He was just about to jump up
  [09:29.65]when he felt something moving near his feet.
  [09:32.21]He looked down.
  [09:33.51]A long black snake was just about to crawl across his legs.
  [09:37.73]Jim watched, too frightened to do anything.
  [09:40.14]The snake moved across his legs;
  [09:42.36]it hesitated for a moment,
  [09:44.43]then crawled on and disappeared under the rock.
  [09:47.36]Jim leapt to his feet pausing only to pick up his shirt,
  [09:51.16]ran off down the path.
  [09:53.72]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
  [09:59.43]26. Why couldn't Jim go any further?
  [10:18.05]27. When did Jim awake?
  [10:35.75]28. How did Jim feel when he saw the long black snake?
  [10:56.17]Passage Two
  [10:58.56]Normally an American student must attend
  [11:01.09]a certain number of courses in order to graduate.
  [11:04.71]In many cases university terms follow basically the German pattern
  [11:09.82]with two semesters in each year,
  [11:11.93]and each course lasts for a semester.
  [11:14.35]Under this system the total work for a degree
  [11:16.80]may consist of thirty six courses each lasting 8 for one semester.
  [11:22.32]A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks,
  [11:28.27]while attending a university a student will probably
  [11:31.79]attend four or five courses during each semester.
  [11:36.84]Normally a student would expect to take four years,
  [11:40.19]attending two semesters each year.
  [11:43.06]It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree
  [11:46.61]over a longer period than four years,
  [11:49.42]and some students may take jobs for fairly long periods
  [11:53.38]during their degree course,
  [11:55.83]thus extending the total length of time
  [11:58.28]between entering a university and finishing.
  [12:02.07]Again it is possible for a student to move between
  [12:05.64]one university and another during this course,
  [12:09.03]though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
  [12:13.56]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
  [12:19.69]29. How many courses must an American student attend in order to graduate?
  [12:40.59]30. How many classes does a typical course have?
  [12:59.76]31. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
  [13:20.02]Passage Three
  [13:21.81]Turning to the local scene,
  [13:23.66]the strike by the city bus drivers has just gone into its third day.
  [13:28.45]And those negotiations 9 are continuing between the city officials
  [13:32.57]and representatives of the bus drivers' union.
  [13:36.62]No settlement is in sight.
  [13:39.00]The drivers say that salaries are not the main issue in the dispute,
  [13:43.36]that working conditions and employee pension plans
  [13:46.66]will have to be improved before they return to their jobs.
  [13:50.67]In the meantime, city residents are coping as best they can
  [13:54.55]with the city transportation tie up.
  [13:57.20]Many people are reported to be sharing cars to and from work.
  [14:01.96]And many others have rediscovered the pleasures of walking.
  [14:05.82]Floyd Brewster, whom we spoke 10 to as he was walking
  [14:09.35]his 20 blocks to his office earlier this morning,
  [14:13.27]told us that he did not think he would go back
  [14:15.68]to riding the buses after the strike is over,
  [14:18.56]"It's healthier," he said,
  [14:20.48]"I'm getting the type of exercise I've never gotten before, and I feel wonderful."
  [14:26.00]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
  [14:31.88]32. What did the reporter say about the negotiations to end the strike of the bus drivers?
  [14:54.17]33. What is one of the main issues in the dispute?
  [15:13.43]34. Why does Floyd Brewster like walking to work?
  [15:32.82]35. What have some of the people done to help themselves during the strike?
  [15:53.91]Section C
  [15:56.25]The Tomato Growers Association, or TGA,
  [15:59.83]has set out to grow a super tomato
  [16:02.56]at an experimental farm near San Diego, California.
  [16:07.45]Employing biotechnology and developments in DNA 11 research,
  [16:12.18]the TGA has determined 12 to grow the "tomato of tomorrow."
  [16:17.13]By emitting a repellent in the form of an odor 13,
  [16:20.76]the tomato plant would be able to fight off attacks by insects.
  [16:25.95]It would resist disease and rot,
  [16:28.34]and would maintain its shape when shipped
  [16:30.97]at the bottom of a load of tons of tomatoes.
  [16:34.63]The skin would be tough,
  [16:36.27]to permit it to be harvested by machine without damage.
  [16:40.04]Its heavy, thick leaves would prevent it from becoming sunburned.
  [16:44.26]All tomatoes on a plant would ripen 14 at the same time,
  [16:47.74]to prevent the loss from machine harvest of under or over ripened 15 fruit.
  [16:53.65]And it would be just as juicy and tasty as the consumer wants it to be.
  [16:58.98]While development of this plant will prove to be extremely expensive,
  [17:04.24]TGA scientists believe that if they can achieve their goal,
  [17:08.24]the industry will eventually benefit from
  [17:10.79]the many advantages and cost savings 16,
  [17:13.85]particularly from harvest labor 17 expenses and shipping 18 loss,
  [17:18.35]that the new tomato will bring.
  [17:23.78]The Tomato Growers Association, or TGA,

  [20:27.18]from the many advantages and cost savings,
  [20:31.12]particularly from harvest labor expenses and shipping loss,
  [20:35.92]that the new tomato will bring.
