man think of the lecture?
2. W: I
enjoy all kinds of music. What kind of music do

W: Thank you. I’ll just sit here and
read the magazine in the

Q: What can you conclude about the
train from the conversation?

Prof. David, I was wondering if you could write a
recommendation letter for me.
W: Well, I can write one for you. But
I’ll point out your
limitation as well
as you strength.
Q: What is the woman’s
attitude towards writing recommendation?

next Monday.

Section B
Passage One
Twin sister are supposed to be very
much alike, are they not? Well,
my twin
Jane and I do look alike. However, we are
different in many ways.
We like very
different styles of clothing. I prefer to dress
informally,
whereas my twin sister
dresses
like a model, always in the
latest fashions. We have very similar
characters in most ways. I do not get
angry and enjoy being with friends.
In
this respect, my twin sister feels the same. But
she likes loud music
and modern dances
while I find that night clubs give me a headache.
She
is always with friends, is the
favorite of our teachers and never wants
to have children, whereas I prefer to
be alone at times, don’t really
try to
impress my teachers and intend some day to have a
family of my
own. We have tried to live
in the same room several times and even
agreed on the color we like best and
the kind of furniture we wanted.
But I
like to keep things neat and orderly while my twin
sister acts as
if there were a servant
around to pick up all the things that get thrown
on the floor. I like to go to bed early
and get up early. In contrast,
she
doesn’t seem to have any definite habits, often
goes to bed very
late and then sleeps
late the next day.
Questions 11 to 13
are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. What kind of clothes does the
speaker like?
12. What do the twin
sisters have in common?
13. Why
doesn’t the speaker like living in the same room
with her
sister?
Passage
Two
Joe is a student at a college in
an open area. During his first two
semesters, he did very well and at the
beginning of third semester he
was
admitted to a special medical program. If he
completed the program
successfully, he
would be granted admission to a good medical
school. He
would be able to study to
become a doctor. Joe’s mother and father both
have full-time
jobs and Joe
works part-time at a restaurant to help the family
finances.
Several weeks
ago, Joe’s mother began feeling sharp chest pains.
When she went to a doctor, he told her
that she would
need a heart surgery
and would have to give up her job. This would
enlarge medical expenses and lose
almost half the family income. Joe’s
father wants him to drop out of school
and go to work full-time to help
the
family. Joe loves his family very
much. But, if he drops out now, he
would lose entire semester’s
credit and
may even lose his place in the premedical program.
He doesn’t know what to do. He speaks
to his girlfriend Maria who
urges him
to remain in school since withdraw now would
place his entire future in danger. He
also speaks to his cousin
Carol, who
tells him that his first duty is to help his
family get
through the difficult times.
Questions 14 to 17 are based on the
passage you have just heard.
14. When
was Joe admitted to the special medical program?
15. Why would Joe’s mother give up her
job?
16. Who advised Joe to
give up his studies?
17. What is Joe
going to do?
Passage Three
A couple of weeks ago, I ran into my
boyfriend David for the first
time in
twenty years. I heard that David had made fortune
on the stock
market. So I was surprised
he wasn’
t driving an expensive car, or
wearing expensive clothes. As a matter
of fact, he looked a lot like me,
wearing an inexpensive suit that
looked
a couple of years old and driving an old car with
a little rust
the edges. I asked him
what he was doing in these years and he said he
was teaching business at a local
community
college. “Teaching
business?” I exclaimed. I thought I heard you
were in New York, making a fortune in
stocks. David smiled,
“Yes, I didn’t
that until about five years ago. But I got
out.
The
stress was giving
you a stomachache and a bad heart. Besides, once I
got
into that business, I had to run
just to keep up. I did not have any
time to spend with my family. We are
much happier now.” I shook my head.
He
had chosen every man’s ambition b
ut he
gave it up. I had always
dreamed of
having money. But it never occurred to me that
there might be
disadvantages to be in
rich.
Questions 18 to 20 are based on
the passage you have just heard.
18.
How long ago did the speaker last meet his friend
David?
19. What had the speaker heard
about David before they met?
did the
speaker realize at the end?

student. Could you tell me whether this
reference room is only for faculty

permission.
Q:
Can the man study in the reference room?
2. W: Let’s talk about the preparations

I waited for you at the corner of your street.
Then I looked
for you at your flat, but
the housekeeper said
you were out.
Q: Why didn’t they meet that evening?
5. W: The place I’ve heard
so much about is Los Angeles. The
climate is pretty good. Year-round
flowers, Year-round swimming.
How do

9. M: You’ll need 36

10. M: This TV set is getting
worse and worse. Now it doesn’t work
at
all.
W: Here’s an advertisement about
a big TV sale. There might be some
good
bargains in it.
Q: What does the woman
suggest?
Passage One
Are
you afraid to raise your hand in class, even when
you know the
answer? If you are, most
people would say that you’re shy.
If you feel shy, you’re not alone. Nine
out of ten people are at
least a little
shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence
seems
to show that it isn’t your fault.
You may have been born that way.
How do psychologists measure shyness?
One way is by observation.
They keep
detailed records of people’s
actions
-like
how often
these people speak to others, or how long it takes
someone
to say hello to a stranger.
Another way to measure shyness is to
ask people questions. The test
only
takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like “Do
you like going
out a lot?” and “Do you
have many friends?” People must answer either
yes or no. These questions can
predict how people actually behave in
social situations. Suppose the
test
tells you that someone is shy. Chances are good
that that person
will act shy.
When scientists measure shyness,
they’re really comparing degrees
of
shyness. In other words, when researchers say
people
are shy, they really mean they
are more shy than others.
Questions 11
to 13 are based on the passage you have just
heard.
11. Why does the speaker say
that it isn’t a fault to be shy?
12. What is one of the ways suggested
by psychologists for measuring
shyness?
13. What is the purpose of the
psychologists in asking questions?
Passage Two
When Midori was
two years old, she often climbed onto the piano
bench and reached for the violin that
belonged to her mother, a 38-year-
old
professional musician.
“Please don’t
touch, Midori,” her mother scolded. The violin
was,
after all, worth more than
$$20,000.
But Midori persisted, she
longed to handle the graceful instrument
that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on
her third birthday, Midori was
handed a
package: a tiny violin, about half the normal
size.
Almost from the moment Midori
was born, her mother knew she was
sensitive to music. For several years
mother and daughter practised
together
day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure
often led to
tears, though she never
once turned from the instrument. Instead, she
persisted until the problem was
overcome.
One day Johnston, an
American musician, heard Midori playing the
violin. He couldn’t believe she was
just eight
years
old. “She
must make a tape and I will take it to the United
States.” the musician said.
A famous American violin teacher heard
the tape. He, too, had
difficulty
believing his ears. The playing was absolutely
astonishing.
He immediately accepted
her as a pupil and recommended her for a full
scholarship. In 1982, Midori and her
mother moved to New York City,
leaving
behind a comfortable life in Japan.
Questions 14 to 17 based on the passage
you have just heard.
14. What was
Midori’s mother?
15. Why
was Midori not allowed to touch her
mother’s violin when
she was only two
years old?
16. What did Johnston, the
American, ask Midori to do?
17. Why
did Midori move to the United States?
Passage Three
The British
Broadcasting Corporation is rejecting more and
more
candidates applying for jobs,
because they suffer from hearing loss. And
this is due to a wide use of personal
stereo systems. According to
officials
at the corporation, about three per cent of them
fail to win
jobs for this reason. The
figure indicates that people suffering from
hearing defects are more common that a
decade age.
Candidates applying for
jobs at the British Broadcasting Corporation
have always had hearing tests, but the
techniques for such tests were
not
standardized until five years ago. The corporation
says officially
that there is no proof
to link personal stereos with hearing
disabilities, but frequent exposure to
high level of sounds can diminish
a
person’s
understanding of
speech. That will rule out his chances of being a
engineer taking care of sound quality
in recording.
So exerts are now calling
for manufactures of personal stereos to
provide a warning light. It flashes
when the sound
is too loud. One
British manufacturer accepted this suggestion. And
this manufacturer has made a device
which switches itself
off when the
level of sound is too high.
Questions
18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just
heard.
18. Why do more and more
candidates fail to get jobs at the British
Broadcasting Corporation?
19. When did the hearing test
techniques become standardized?
20.
What suggestions did the experts make to stereo
manufacturers?

1. M:
Please hold the line, Mrs. Smith. The doctor will
talk to you
in a minute.
W:
I’m afraid I may have to hang up. I don’t have any
more coins
and the line will be cut
soon.
Q: Where is Mrs. Smith most
probably?
2. M: Excuse me, but could
you show me the way to the train station?
W: Certainly. Go straight until you
reach the traffic light, then
turn left
and you will see a square. The station
is on the east side of it.
Q: Where is the train station located?
3. M: You’re going to make a trip to
San Francisco, aren’t you?
W: Yes
. But I haven’t got
the plane ticket yet. I’m thinking of
postponing the trip to next month since
this is the
busiest month for the
airlines.
Q: What do we know about the
woman from this conversation?
4. M: I
hear you are moving to an apartment. Can you tell
me why?
W: Actually, I didn’t want to
move. It would be more expensive to
live outside the college. But I just
can’t bear
the noise made
by the people living next door.
Q: Why
does the woman want to move?
5. M: You
can get a lot of practice in giving up tickets and
handling hotel reservations. Later on,
you can take telephone
calls.
W: That’s great! Thanks, Mr. Thomson.
I’ll come to work tomorrow.
Q: Where will the woman probably be
working?
6. M: Please make 20 copies
of this and deliver them to the chief
executive and heads of departments.
W: Certainly, sir. They will find it on
their desks tomorrow morning.
Q: What
is the probable relationship between the two
speakers?
7. W: Did you go shopping
this afternoon?
M: Yes, but all I got
was a sore foot.
Q: What does the man
mean?
8. W: This school is lucky to
have a teacher as good as Prof. Helen
Johnson.
M: She is one in a
million.
Q: What does the man mean?
9. M: I heard your daughter sing at the
school concert last night.
She has a
lovely voice, I must say.
W: Thank you,
but I don’t know where she gets it.
Q: What does the woman probably mean?
10. W: Why are you so tired and upset?
M: I’ve been taking the history course
this term. But the trouble
is that I’ll
never get through the rea
ding list.
Q: Why is the man worried?
Section B
Passage One
The time is 7 o’clock, and this is
Amely Brown with the news: The
German
authorities are sending investigators to discover
the cause of
the plane crash late
yesterday on the Island of Tenariff. The plane, a
Boeing 727 taking German holiday makers
to the island crashed into a
hill side
as it circled for preparing to land. The plane was
carrying
180 passengers. It is thought
there are no survivors. Rescue workers are
at the scene.
The 500 U.K.
motors workers who had bent on strike in High Town
for
the past 3 weeks went back to work
this morning. This follows successful
talks between management and union
representatives, which resulted in a
new agreement on working hours. A
spokesman for the management said that
they hoped they could now get back to
producing cars and they lost a lot
of
money and orders over this dispute.
And finally, the weather: After a cold
starts, most of the country
shall be
warm and sunny. But towards late afternoon, rain
will spread
from Scotland to cover most
parts by midnight.
Questions 11 to 14
are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. When was the news broadcast?
12. What is the first news item about?
13. Why did the workers go on strike?
14. What do you think of the weather
that day?
Passage Two
When
I arrived in American three years ago, I was
surprised by the
tremendous amount of
advertising. But now I’ve come to realize that it
is a creative and necessary part of an
industrial society. I, too, want
to
improve my life style and to buy better products.
I look to
advertising to show me how to
do it. Deciding what to believe in an
advertising, however, isn’t easy. It
seems to me that a person must
purchase
things with a lot of care. As a consumer, I want
to get the
best
for my
money. So I really have to understand the
techniques of
advertising. Otherwise,
manufactures may be able to sell anything,
whatever its quality may be. The
creative aspects of advertisement,
for
instance, often cover up the defects or problems
in products. I have
learned this well,
since I have made purchases and lost money because
the items were of poor quality. The
future advertising most likely will
involve more public participation. In
the future, if consumers really
care
about the quality of something as well as the
quantity, maybe
advertisers will begin
to care more about what they are trying to sell.
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the
passage you have just heard.
15. What
do we learn about the speaker?
16.
What’s the speaker’s
impression of the
advertisement in
America when he first
arrived there?
17. What does the
speaker think future advertisers should do?
Passage Three
After years
of study, I have determined there are only two
types of
people in this world: those
who get to the airport early and those who
walk in just as the plane is about to
take off. If there were any
justice in
the world, the early airport people would be
rewarded for
doing the right thing and
the late airport people would be punished. But
there is no justice. I know I have been
an early airport person for
years. My
luggage will get on the plane first but it will be
the last
luggage to come off the plane
when we land. You know who really gets his
luggage first when we land? The late
airport person, who
rushes into the
airport three minutes before the plane takes off.
“But if I get there real early,” I told
myself, “I will get the best
seat.”
Well, no matter how early I showed up, I was
always told that
someone had called two
or three days ahead of me and asked for that seat.
The utmost embarrassment of the early
airport person happened to me a
few
years age when I
was flying from New
York to Chicago. When I got to the ticket
counter, the person there said, “Sir,
you have a seat on the 9:15 a.m.
flight, i
s that right?”
“Yes,” I said. “Well, it’s only 7:00 a.m.
and the 7:05 a.m. flight has not left
yet.
If you hurry you can make it.” I
was too embarrassed to say that I
arrived early so I wouldn’t have to
hurry. Instead,
I ran down
the corridor to the plane.
Questions
18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just
heard.
18. What does the speaker say
about the early airport person?
19.
What usually happens to the late airport person?
20. What made the speaker feel
embarrassed?

Section B
Passage One
In the United
States, many people once lived in large, two and
story
homes. Today, many people would
like to live in such houses but most
people can’t. They don’t have enough
money to buy them or even to make
the
first payment. So, many people rent from month to
month. But some
Americans really want
to live in a house of their own. So they build
their own home. They buy a house that
is situated in an area where house
are
cheaper. It is better to reside in a bad part of
town, they think,
than not to live in a
house at all. Or they buy an old house and
redesign it. Then they decorate it with
old style furniture. Sometimes
they can
male an old house look more beautiful than a new
one. Usually,
it is not difficult for
people to find an old home to buy. Many older
people decide that they don’t
n
eed a big home after their children
leave. So they sell their house and
move into a comfortable apartment.
But
when people move into a house, they sometimes have
problems.
Home owners have to do their
own maintenance. For example. If the
roof leaks, one can not ask the
landlord to fix it. On the other hand,
people can redesign their homes in any
way they want without having to
be
afraid of being thrown out by the landlord.
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the
passage you have just heard.
11. Why
don’t man
y Americans live in large two
and three story
houses?
12.
Why is it easy to find old houses for sale?
13. What problem will people have after
they buy a house?
Passage Two
Lions prefer to eat without having to
do much work. When resting in
the
shade, they! Are also watching the sky. And if
they see birds fly
down, they
immediately sense that something must be
happening. Even in
the heat of the day.
They will certainly arise and run a mile across
the
plains to find out what is going
on. If another animal has made a kill,
they will drive it off and take the
dead animal for themselves. A grown
lion can easily consume 60 pounds of
meat at a single feeding. Often,
they
eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.
The female lions
are leaner and
swifter, and as a result, are better hunters than
the
males. Most kills are made at night
or just before dawn. The kill is the
most exciting moment in the day-to-day
existence of the lions, since
these
great beasts spend most of their time-about 20
hours a day-
sleeping and resting. Lions
are also social cats. And during these times
of leisure, they love to romp against
each other, and the young lions
are
always playing among themselves and with their
parents.
Questions 14 to 16 are based
on the passage you have just heard.
14. What do we learn about lions from
what we have just heard?
15. Why do
the lions watch the birds in the sky?
16. Why are the females generally
better hunters than the males?
Passage
Three
To be successful in a job
interview, you should demonstrate certain
personal and professional qualities.
You need to
create a good image in the
limited time available, usually from 30
to 45 minutes. You must make a positive
impression which
the interviewer will
remember while he interviews other candidates.
The following are some qualities you
should especially
pay attention to
during an interview. First of all, you should take
care to appear to be properly dressed.
The right clothes
worn at the right
time can win respect of the interviewer and his
confidence in your judgement. It may
not be true that clothes
you wear.
Secondly, you should pay close attention to your
manner of
speaking, since speech is a
reflection of personality.
You should
reflect confidence by speaking in a clear voice,
loud
enough to be heard, without being
aggressive or overpowering.
You should
be prepared to talk knowledgeably about the
requirements
of the position you are
applying for. Finally, to be
really
impressive you must convey a sense of self-
confidence and
enthusiasm for work. If
you display these characteristics,
with just a little luck, you’ll
certainly succeed in the typical
personnel interview.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the
passage you have just heard.
17. How
long does an interview usually last according to
the speaker?
18. How can one give the
interviewer a good first impression?
19. What should be the best manner of
speaking for a job-seeker
during an
interview?
20. What is the main idea

Section B
Passage One
In the early
days of railroads horses pulled the trains. The
trains
had no engines and no power of
their own. Richard Traversic of England
invented a steam powered engine in
1840. Soon people were building
railroads and steam engines all over
the world. Because the steam engine
did
the work that animals used to do, people called
them “Iron Horses”.
Peter Copper was a
rich American businessman. He owned a lot of land
near the Bottomhal and Ohio railroad.
He wanted the railroad to be
successful. He built his own steam
engine to drive along the railroad.
Most people traveled in coaches drawn
by houses. A coach line challenged
Peter Copper to a race.
The
day of the race came. At first, the horse was
winning the race.
Peter Copper’s engine
needed time to build up steam.
He worked hard to make the train go
faster. Soon, he was catching up
with
the horse. He was going to win the race. Suddenly,
one of the parts
of the engine broke.
The train stopped. The horse rushed ahead. Peter
Copper lost the race. Of course, that
is not the end of the story. By
1870,
railroads extended all across the United States.
The Iron Horse
had become an important

Passage Two
Hollywood
produces many different kinds of films, including
mysteries, musicals, love stories and
horror films. Different these
films may
be. They generally have one thing in common
conflict. The main
character wants
something very badly and will do anything to get
it. The
opponent tries to stop the main
character from achieving his goal. This
opposition creates conflict and
conflict is the heart of drama. To give
an example. Let’s say the main
character is a young man of humble
origin, who
wants to marry
the beautiful daughter of a rich banker. The
father
thinks the young man is unworthy
of his daughter and he does not allow
her to see him. The young man, who is
very much in love, refuses to give
up
without a fight. The conflict between the
you
ng man and the girl’s
father is what makes the story
interesting. It forces the main
characters to take action
and through their action we see them as
they really are. In the good
story, the
main character changes. He is not the same at the
end of the
story as he was at the
beginning. He learns something from watching her.
Good movies not only entertain
us, they also help us understand a
little more about life.
Questions 14 to
16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. What is common to all the films
produced in Hollywood?
15. What
usually happens to the main character in a good
story?
16. What can we learn from good
movies?
Passage Three
In a
way, all of us are on a spaceship-the planet
Earth. We move
around the sun at 18
miles per second and never stop. On our spaceship,
we have 5 billion people and limited
supply of air, water an land. These
supplies have to be used carefully
because we can’t buy new air, water
or
land from anywhere else. Environment on our planet
is a closed system.
Nothing new is ever
added. Nature recycles its resources. Water, for
example, evaporates and rises as
visible drops to form clouds. The same
water returns to the earth as rain or
snow. The rain that falls today is
actually the same water that fell on
the land 70 million years ago.
Today,
the earth is in trouble. Factories pour dirty
water into our
rivers, many fish and
water becomes unhealthy for people to get sick.
People throw bottles and paper out of
their car windows and roadside
becomes
covered with all sorts of wastes. Over the years
people have
changed environment and we
have pollution. To continue to survive, we
must learn how to use the earth
resources wisely. We have to change out
habits and stop dropping such enormous
amounts of industrial
waste into the
water and air. We must cooperate with nature and
learn better ways to use, not abuse our
environment.
Questions 17 to 20 are
based on the passage you have just heard.
17. Why does the speaker compare the
earth to a spaceship?
18. How fast
does the planet Earth travel around the sun?
19. Why does the speaker advise us to
use the earth resources wisely?
20.
What message is the speaker trying to convey?
