Section One
Part 1 Spot Dictation
Houses in the Future
Well, I think houses in the future will
probably be (1) quite small
but I
should think they'll be (2) well-insulated so that
you don't need
so much (3) heating and
(4) cooling as you do now, so perhaps very
economical
(5)
to
run.
Perhaps
they
will
use
(6)
solar
heating,
although
I don't know, in
this country, perhaps we (7) won't be able to do
that
so much. Yes, I think they'll be
full of (8) electronic gadgets: things
like
very
advanced
televisions,
videos,
perhaps
videos
which
take
up
...
the screen
(9)
takes
up
the
whole
wall.
I
should
think.
Yes, you'll
have
things
like
(10)
garage
doors
which
open
automatically
when
you
(11)
drive
up, perhaps electronic (12) sensors
which will (13) recognize you when
you,
when you come to the front door even. Perhaps (14)
architects and
designers will be a
bit more (15)
imaginative
about
how houses
are
designed and perhaps
with the (16) shortage of space people will think
of putting gardens (17) on the roof
and, and maybe rooms can be (18)
expanded and, and (19) contracted*
depending on what you use them for,
so
perhaps there'll be a bit more (20) flexibility
about that.

2. No hard evidence exists
to support
that tale, but in any
case, by the

Presentation in 1934, a Hollywood columnist used
the name
in his column.
3. Walt Disney was honored with one
full-size and seven miniature
statuettes on behalf of his animated
feature Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs.
4. If
the statuettes don't meet strict quality control

Cedric

a

the
Academy
staff
began
referring
to it as Oscar.
No hard evidence exists to support that
tale, but in any case, by
the
sixth
Awards
Presentation
in
1934,
Hollywood
columnist
Sidney
Skolsky
used the name in his
column in reference to Katharine Hepburn's first
Best Actress win.
The
Academy
itself
didn't
use
the nickname officially
until 1939.
Since
its
conception,
the
Oscar
statuette
has
met
exacting
uniform
standards
-
with
a
few
notable
exceptions.
In
the
1930s,
juvenile
players
received miniature replicas* of the
statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar
Bergen was presented with a wooden
statuette with a moveable mouth; and
Walt
Disney
was
honored
with
one
full-size
and
seven
miniature
statuettes
on
behalf
of
his
animated
feature
Snow
White
and
the
Seven
Dwarfs.
Between
1942
and
1944,
in
support
of
the
war
effort,
Oscars
were
made
of
plaster.
After the War,
winners turned in the temporary awards for golden
Oscar
statuettes.
The traditional Oscar statuette,
however, hasn't changed since the
1940s,
when the
base
was made
higher.
In
1945,
the
base was
changed
from
marble
to
metal
and
in
1949,
Academy
Award
statuettes
began
to
be
numbered,
starting with No. 501.
Approximately
50
Oscars
are
made
each
year
in
Chicago
by
the
manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they
don't meet strict quality control
standards, the statuettes are
immediately cut in half and melted down.
Each award is individually
packed into a Styrofoam* container
slightly larger than a shoebox.
Eight of these are then
packed into a larger cardboard box, and the
large boxes are shipped to the Academy
offices in Beverly Hills via air
express, with no identifiable markings.
On March 10, 2000, 55
Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route
from
the
Windy
City*
to
the
City
of
Angels.
Nine
days
later,
52
of
stolen
statuettes were discovered .
For
eight
decades,
the
Oscars
have
survived

and

to
