11.W:
I’
m trying to figure out if
it
’
s best to buy a new
computer or a second-hand
one. What do
you think?
M: I think you should get to a new one.
New computers are more reliable, and
you
’
ll save money
in the long run.
Q: What does the man
suggest?
12. M: Did you see the black
and white movie on TV last night?
W: I
would have checked it out, but my aunt stopped by
for a visit. I hadn
’
t seen
her in over a month.
Q: What does
the woman mean?
13. W: Christmas will
be here soon. Let
’
s get a
pullover for Uncle Albert. Do you
know
if he has got a favorite color?
M: No, I
don
’
t. but we must get to
Saint Mike
’
s. There he can
take it back and
change it if he
doesn
’
t like the color.
Q:
What
’
s the probable reason
why they want to get a pullover at Saint Mikes?
14. M: Should I buy the ten-pound bag
of potatoes or the five-pound bag?
W: What does it
matter? You won
’
t save any
money on the larger size.
Q: What does the woman
mean?
15. W: Who are you going to take
to the party tomorrow?
M:
I’
ll take Mary along if
you
’
re not going with her.
Q:
Who is the one that he wants to take to the party?
16. M: Geoff has lots of good ideas.
Do
you think
he
’
d be willing to come to
the
meeting?
W:
Oh,
I
think
he
’
ll
be
glad
to
come.
What
will
be
difficult
is
getting
him
to
speak before a large crowd.
Q: What does
the woman imply about Geoff?
17. M:
Would you like to go have some coffee?
1
W: Thanks, but I have some work I have
to catch up on.
Q: What does the woman
mean?
18. M: What? You have gotten your
degree already?
W: Already?
It’
s been six years!
Q:
What does the woman imply?
Now you will
hear two long conversations.
Conversation one
W:
I
haven
’
t
seen
you
here
for
a
couple
of
weeks.
Have
you
stopped
eating
or
something?
M: No. Does it
look like
I’
ve stopped
eating?
I’
ve been spending a
lot of time in the
library.
W: Working on the paper?
M:
I wish I was working on just one paper.
I’
m working on three
different papers:
anthropology, English
lit, and history.
W: Wow, that is a lot
of work.
M: Yeah, and
what
’
s frustrating is that I
am studying the 19
th
century
British Empire
in all three classes.
But I can
’
t just write a
single paper for all three.
W: Why not?
M:
The
professors
won’t
let
me,
even
if
I
can
make
it
three
times
as
long
as
the
suggested length.
W: Oh, that
’
s too
bad. Could you write your papers on three aspects
of one topic?
M: Mm, what do you mean?
Do you have something in mined?
W:
Well, let
’
s see. Hum, maybe
you could do something with Romanticism, like, eh,
write
your anthropology
paper on the cultural basis of Romanticism, and
your
history paper on the
influence of the Romantic Poets and your British
paper, on
an analysis of some Romantic
poems.
M: Hey,
that
’
s not a bad idea.
I’
ve already started the
research for one of the papers.
So I
can use that. What can I do to repay you?
W: You want to write up my chemistry
lab for me?
M:
I’
d love to, but
I’
ve never taken chemistry,
so I am not sure you
’
ll like
the result.
W: Oh, well. No thanks
necessary, then. Have a good weekend and try to
get out of
the library and get some
sleep. You have big circles under your eyes.
M: Okay,
I’
ll
try. See you later.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the
conversation you have just heard.
19.
What has the man been busy doing all week?
20. What does the woman suggest the man
do to make his work easier?
21. Why
does the woman mention romanticism?

Conversation
two:
W: Are you going to
the fair next Saturday?
M: What fair?
W:
The
annual
fair
that
Riverdale
puts-on
on
the
first
Saturday
in
June
to
raise
money
for
the
Riverdale
Hospital.
The
fair
is
being
held
in
the
University
athletic field
just like in previous years.
Haven
’
t you noticed these
tents that are
already set up?
M: Yes, I have. What are they for?
W: They
’
re for
the many special events and displays. And this
year there
’
ll be quite
a few new events.
I’
m going to help serve food
at the refreshment tent for a few
hours
Saturday afternoon.
M: Do many people
volunteer to help out?
W: Oh, yes.
I like helping because
I
really enjoy seeing a lot of my friends at the
food tent. Every body loves to eat.
M: So
that’
s it.
I heard some other people talking about going to
hear local bands.
Everyone
says
that
this
year
’
s
show
is
expected
to
be
more
exciting
than
all
others put together.
That
’
s the entertainment
tent, right?
W:
Right,
but
that
event
will
be
in
the
evening
before
the
fair
on
Friday.
And
auctions
will
take
place
on
Saturday
afternoon.
And
there
will
be
some
real
treasures for sale then. Those things
will also be in the art show on Saturday, and
the special game tent is just for
children.
M:
And
all
of
the
profits
from
the
fair
always
go
to
support
the
hospital.
What
a
good
idea!
Well,
I
need
a
couple
of
bookcases.
Maybe
I
can
find
some
in
the
auction.
I’
m glad
you mentioned it.
