M: Shawn's been
trying for months to find a job. But I wonder how
he could get a job when
he looks like that.
W: Oh, that poor guy! He really should shave
himself every other day at least and put on
something clean.
Q: What do we learn about
Shawn?
12.
W: I wish Jane would
call when she know she'll be late. This is not the
first time we've had to
wait for her.
M: I
agree. But she does have to drive through very
heavy traffic to get here.
Q: What does the
man imply?
13.
M:
Congratulations! I heard your baseball team is
going to the Middle Atlantic
Championship.
W: Yeah, we're all working real hard right
now!
Q: What is the woman's team doing?
14.
W: John's been looking after his
mother in the hospital. She was injured in a car
accident
two weeks ago and still in critical
condition.
W:Oh, that's terrible. And you know
his father passed away last year.
Q: What do
we learn about John?
15.
M: What a
boring speaker! I could hardly stay awake.
W:
Well, I don't know. In fact, I think it's been a
long time since I've heard anyone is good.
Q:
What do we learn from the conversation?
16.
W: I'm having a lot of trouble with
logic and it seems my professor can't explain it
in a way
that makes sense to me.
M: You
know, there is a tutoring service on campus. I was
about to drop statistics before
they helped me
out.
Q: What does the man mean?
17.
M: This is a stylish overcoat. I saw you
wearing it last week, did't I ?
W: Oh, that
wasn't me. That was my sister Joe. She's in your
class.
Q: What does the woman mean?
18.
M: Jane, suppose you lost all
your money while taking a vacation overseas, what
would you
do?
W: Well, I guess I'd sell my
watch or computer or do some odd jobs till I could
afford a
return plane ticket.
Q: What are
the speakers talking about?
Conversation
One
M: Hello, Professor Johnson.
W: Hello,
Tony, so what shall we work on today?
M: Well,
the problem is that this writing assignment isn’t
coming out right. What I thought I
was writing
on was to talk about what a particular sport means
to me when I participate in.
W: What sport did
you choose?
M: I decided to write about cross-
country skiing.
W: What are you going to say
about skiing?
M: That’s the problem. I thought
I would write about how peaceful it is to be out
in the
country.
W: So why is that a
problem?
M: I’d like to start describing how
quite it is to be out in the woods. I keep
mentioning how
much effort it takes to keep
going. Cross-country skiing isn’t as easy as some
people think. It
takes a lot of energy, but
that’s not heart of my paper, so I guess I should
leave it out. But
now I don’t know how to
explain that feeling of peacefulness without
explaining how hard
you have to work for it.
It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting
down somewhere and
watching the clouds roll
by. That’s different.
W: Then you have to
include that in your point. The peacefulness of
cross-country skiing is
the kind you earn by
effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you
knew beforehand,
but part you discovered as
you wrote. That’s common, right?
M: Yeah, I
guess so.
Q19. What is the topic of the
man’s writing assignment?
Q20. What problem
does the man have while working on his paper?
Q21. What does the woman say is common in
writing papers?
Conversation Two
W: Good evening and welcome to this week's
Business World. A program for and about
business people. Tonight we have Mr. Angeleno
who came to the US six years ago, and is now
an established businessman with three
restaurants in town. Tell us Mr. Angeleno, how did
you get started?
M: Well I started off
with a small diner. I did all the cooking myself
and my wife waited on
tables. It was really
too much work for two people. My cooking is great.
And word got
around town about the food.
Within a year, I had to hire another cook and four
waitresses.
When that restaurant became very
busy, I decided to expand my business. Now with
three
places my main concern is keeping the
business successful and running smoothly.
W:
Do you advertise?
M: Oh yes. I don't
have any TV commercials, because they are too
expensive. But I advertise
a lot on radio and
in local newspapers. My children used to
distribute ads. in nearby
shopping centres,
but we don't need to do that anymore.
W: Why
do you believe you've been so successful?
M:
Em, I always serve the freshest possible food and
I make the atmosphere as comfortable
and as
pleasant as I can, so that my customers will want
to come back.
W: So you always aim to please
the customers?
M: Absolutely! Without them I
would have no business at all.
W: Thank you
Mr. Angeleno. I think your advice will be helpful
to those just staring out in
business.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the
conversation you have just heard.
22 What is
the woman’s occupation?
23 What do we learn
about Mr. Angeleno’s business at its beginning?
24 What does Mr. Angeleno say about
advertising his business?
25 What does the man
say contribute to the success of his business?
Section B
Passage One
There are
many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and
eyesight that are not proven
facts. For
instance, some people believe that wearing glasses
too soon weakens the eyes. But
there is no
evidence to show that the structure of eyes is
changed by wearing glasses at a
young age.
Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove
harmful. Studies show that for
adults there is
no danger, but children can develop loss of vision
if they have glasses
inappropriate for their
eyes.
We have all heard some of the
common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most
people
believe that reading in dim light
causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too
little light
makes the eyes work harder, so
they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also
results from
reading a lot, reading in bed,
and watching too much television. However,
although eyestrain
may cause some pain or
headaches, it does not permanently damage
eyesight. Another myth
about eyes is that they
can be replaced, or transferred from one person to
another. There are
close to one million nerve
fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain, as
of yet it is
impossible to attach them all in
a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be
replaced.
But if we keep clearing up the myths
and learning more about the eyes, some day a full
transplant may be possible.
26.
What does the speaker want to tell us about
eyesight?
27. What do studies about wearing
the wrong glasses show?
28. What do we learn
about eye transplanting from the talk?
Passage Two
When people care for an
elderly relative, they often do not use available
community services
such as adult
daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult
children, they are more likely to use
such
services, especially because they often have jobs
and other responsibilities. In contrast,
a
spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to
use support services or to put the dependent
person in a nursing home. Social workers
discover that the wife normally tries to take care
of her husband herself for as long as she can
in order not to use up their life savings.
Researchers have found that caring for the
elderly can be a very positive experience. The
elderly appreciated the care and attention
they received. They were affectionate and
cooperative. However, even when care giving is
satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers
and experts on aging offer caregivers and
potential caregivers help when arranging for the
care of an elderly relative. One consideration
is to ask parents what they want before they
become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer
going into a nursing home and can select one
in advance. On the other hand, they may want
to live with their adult children. Caregivers
must also learn to state their needs and
opinions clearly and ask for help from others
especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and
sisters are often willing to help, but they may
not know what to do
29. Why are
adult children more likely to use community
services to help care for elderly
parents?
30. Why are most wives unwilling to put
their dependent husbands into nursing homes?
31. According to the passage, what must
caregivers learn to do?
Passage Three
Since a union representative visited our
company to inform us about our rights and
protections. My coworkers have been worrying
about health conditions and complaining
about
safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the
employees in the computer department,
for
example, claim to be developing vision problems
from having to stare at a video display
terminal for about 7 hours a day. The
supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get
headaches and dizzy spells because she says
it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical
smoke there. An X-ray technician is refusing
to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its
out-dated equipment. She insists that it’s
exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of
radiation. She thinks that she may have to
contact the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration and asked that government
agency to inspect the department. I’ve heard
that at a factory in the area two pregnant
women who were working with paint requested a
transfer to a safer department, because they
wanted to prevent damage to their unborn
babies. The supervisor of personnel refused
the request. In another firm the workers were
constantly complaining about the
malfunctioning heating system, but the owners was
too
busy or too mean to do anything about it.
Finally, they all met and agree to wear ski-
clothing
to work the next day. The owner was
too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he
had
the heating system replaced right away.
32 What does the talk focus on?
33
What did the X-ray technician ask her company to
do?
34 What does the speaker say about the two
pregnant women working with paint?
35
Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing
to work?
Section C
Contrary to the
old warning that time waits for no one, time slows
down when you are on the
move. It also slows
down more as you move faster, which means
astronauts some day may
survive so long in
space that they would return to an Earth of the
distant future. If you could
move at the speed
of light, your time would stand still, if you
could move faster than light,
your time would
move backward.
Although no form of
matter yet discovered, moves as fast as or faster
than light, scientific
experiments have
already confirmed that accelerated motion causes a
traveler’s time to be
stretched. Albert
Einstein predicted this in 1905, when he
introduced the concept of relative
time as
part of his Special Theory of Relativity. A search
is now under way to confirm the
suspected
existence of particles of matter that move at a
speed greater than light. And
therefore, might
serve as our passports to the past. An obsession
with time—saving, gaming,
wasting, losing and
mastering it—seems to have been part of humanity
for as long as human
have existed. Humanity
also has been obsessed with trying to capture the
meaning of time.
Einstein used a definition of
time for experimental purposes, as that which is
measured by a
clock. Thus time and time’s
relativity are measurable by any hour glass, alarm
clock, or
atomic clock that can measure a
billionth of a second.
