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
