Part I Listening Comprehension 20 minutes)
Section A


1. M: Mary, could you please tell Thomas to
contact me? I was hoping he would be able to
help me out with the freshmen orientation
program next week.

W: I would certainly tell him if I saw him,
but I haven't seen him around for quite a few
days.

Q: What does the woman mean?

2. M: Susan, I am going to change the light
bulb above the dining room table. Will you hold
the ladder for me?

W: No problem. But be careful while you're
up there.


Q: What does the man want the woman to
do?

3. W: It's freezing cold. Let me make some
coffee to warm us up. Do you want a piece of pie
as well?

M: Coffee sounds great. But I'm going to
have dinner with some friends in a while, so I'd
better skip the pie.

Q: What does the man mean?

4. W: How come Jim lost his job?

M: I didn't say he had lost it. All I said was
if he didn't get out and start selling a few cars
instead of idling around all day, he might find
himself looking for a new job.

Q: What does the man say about Jim?


5. M: Hello, Mary. This is Paul at the bank.
Is Tony home?

W: Not yet. Paul. I don't think you can
reach him at the office now, either. He phoned
me five minutes ago to say he was stopping for a
hair-cut on his way home.

Q: Who do you think the woman probably
is?

6. W: Oh! Boy! I don't understand how you
got a ticket today. I always thought you were
slow even driving on the less crowded fast lane.

M: I'm usually careful. But this time I
thought I could get through the intersection
before the light turned.

Q: What do we learn about the man?

7. W: Your dog certainly seems to know you

are his master. Did you have to punish him very
often when you trained him?

M: I found it's much better to praise him
when he obeys and not to be so fussy when he
makes mistakes.

Q: What does the man say about training
dogs?

8. M: I am afraid there won't be time to do
another tooth today. Make sure you don't eat
anything like stakes for the next few hours, and
we'll fill the other cavity tomorrow.

W: All right. Actually, I must hurry to the
library to return some books.

Q: Where does the conversation most
probably take place?

9. W: I am worried about Jenny going to

college. College students are so wild nowadays.

M: Actually, only a few are like that. Most
students are too busy studying to have time to
cause trouble.

Q: What does the man imply?

10. W: You didn't seem to be terribly
enthusiastic about the performance.

M: You must be kidding. I couldn't have
clapped any harder. My hands are still hurting.

Q: What does the man think of the
performance?

Section B

Passage 1

Born and raised in central Ohio, I'm a

country girl through and through. I'm currently
studying to become a physical therapist, a career
path that marks a great achievement for me. At
Ohio State University, admission into the
physical therapy program is intensely
competitive. I made it pass the first cut the first
year I applied, but was turned down for
admission. I was crushed, because for years I
have been determined to become a physical
therapist. I received advice from friends and
relatives about changing my major and finding
another course for my life. I just couldn't do it. I
knew I could not be as happy in another
profession. So I stilled myself, began to work
seriously for another year and reapplied.
Happily I received notice of my admission. Later,
I found out that less than 15% of the applicant
had been offered positions that year. Now in the
first two years of professional training, I
couldn't be happier with my decision not to give
up on my dream. My father told me that if I
wanted it badly enough, I would get in. Well,

Daddy, I wanted it. So there. After graduation, I
would like to travel to another country, possibly
a Latin American country and work in a
children's hospital for a year or two. So many of
the children there are physically handicapped
but most hospitals don't have the funding to hire
trained staff to care for them properly. I would
like to change that somehow.

11. What is the speaker's field of study?

12. According to the speaker, what
contributed to her admission to Ohio State
University?

13. Why does the speaker want to go to a
Latin American country?

Passage 2

Gabriela Mistral was once an ordinary
teacher in a small village school in Northern

Chile. Towering mountains separate her village
from the world outside. Gabriela Mistral was
only fifteen when she began teaching, but she
was a good teacher. She helped the minds of her
students' scale the mountain walls and reached
out to the world beyond. For eighteen years,
Gabriela devoted her life to the poor farm
children of Chile's Northern valleys. During
part of this time, she was director of schools in
all of Chile. Before long, many countries
recognized her as a great friend of children and
the leader in education. In 1922, she was invited
to Mexico to help organize the rural school
system. Two years later, Gabriela Mistral came
to the United States where she served as a
visiting professor in several colleges. In New
York City, a group of teachers helped to finance
the publication of her first book of poetry. Some
of her books have been translated into six
different languages. She gave the income from
some of her books to help poor and neglected
children. Beginning in the 1920's, her interests

reached out to broader fields. Statesmen asked
her advice on international problems. She tried
to break through the national barriers that
hindered the exchange of ideas among the
Spanish speaking peoples of South America. She
tried to develop a better understanding between
the United States and countries of Latin
America. In 1945, she gained worldwide
recognition by winning the Nobel Prize in
literature, the first Southern American to win
the prize.

14. Where did Gabriela Mistral start her
teaching career?

15. How did Gabriela Mistral help the poor
children of her hometown?

16. Why did many countries think highly of
Gabriela Mistral?

17. How did Gabriela Mistral become

famous all over the world?

Passage 3

Over time animals have developed many
ways to stay away from predators. A predator is
an animal that hunts and eats other animals.
Hiding is one of the best ways to stay alive. Some
animals hide by looking like the places where
they live. To see how this works, let's look at the
sea dragon. It is a master of disguise. The sea
dragon is covered with skin that looks like leaves.
The skin helps the dragon look like a piece of
seaweed. A hungry meat eater would stay away
from anything that looks like seaweed. Other
animals stay safe by showing their colors. They
want other animals to see them. Scientists call
these bright colors-- warning colors. You have
probably seen animals that have warning colors.
Some grasshoppers show off their own bright
colors. Those colors don't just look attractive;
they tell their enemies to stay away. Of course,

hungry predators sometimes ignore the warning.
They still go after the grasshopper. If that
happens, the grasshopper has a backup defense.
It makes lots of foam. The foam tastes so bad
that the predator won't do it again. Color
doesn't offer enough protection for some other
animals. They have different defenses that help
them survive in the wild. Many fish live in
groups or schools. That's because there is safety
in numbers. At the first sign of trouble,
schooling fish swim as close together as they can
get. Then the school of fish makes lots of twists
and turns. All that movement makes it hard for
predators to see individuals in a large group.

18. What is the speaker mainly talking
about?

19. What protects the sea dragon from the
meat eater's attack?

20. According to the passage, why do many

fish stay in groups?
