I can’t find those photographs I just had developed.

I think I saw them on the piano.

What does the woman mean?

Fred sure was angry.

I’ll say. He left without saying goodbye to anyone.

What does the man say about Fred?

What an uncomfortable-looking chair.

Well, it may look that way, but just try it out!

What does the woman imply?

 So, Where are the rose gardens? Didn’t you say they were here on the West side of the park?

No, no-I said they were on the east side.

What does the woman mean?

 George, is Linda leaving tonight?

I think that’s What she said.

What does George say about Linda?

Two Weeks’ Work down the drain!

On, no! your experiment Wasn’t successful?

What is learned about the man from this conversation?

I see Carry is riding her bike again. Did she fix it herself?

I think she got her brother to do it.

What does the man believe about Carrie?

Did the band play for about 2 hours?

No. This time, the concert was over in an hour and a half.

How long did the concert last?

Maybe you could get  a ride to campus with Peggy tomorrow. .

Oh, Peggy no longer drives to class.

What does the man say about Peggy?

Swimming is good exercise.

Of course. And so is dancing.

What does the Woman mean?

I need to go out. Is it still raining?

Yes, but it’s starting to let up a little.

What does the woman mean?

Then you and Robert finished your project on time?

Yes! no thanks to Robert!

What does the woman imply?

I just heard that Professor Hendrix is retiring at the end of the semester

Too bad! I was hoping to take his chemistry course next semester.

What is learned about Professor Hendrix from this conversation?

I’d like some flowers delivered to Hillcrest Hospital.

Certainly. If you step over here, I’ll show you some arrangements.

What is the man going to do?

My watch isn’t running.

Why not have the jeweler around the corner fix it?

What does the Woman suggest the man do?

Just think—in another couple of days, I’ll be in Montreal.

How will you get around once you get there?

There are only a few drops left in the can. I guess we’ll have to buy some in the morning.

Well, we can finish up this job tomorrow. Let’s just wash out our brushes for now.

What will they probably buy in the morning.

Jim! can I have one of those bananas you bought?

Sorry, they’re still not ripe enough.

Questions 31-34: Listen to a conversation on a college campus.

Excuse me, I’m trying to end my way to Reynolds Hall.

Reynolds Hall? I don’t. think I know where that is.

I’m looking for an exhibit of graduate student paintings. The campus newspaper said it was in Reynolds Hall.

Oh, now I know Where you mean. Everyone on campus just calls that the Art Building.

So how do I get there?

Go straight ahead until you come to the main library. You’ll see a walkway leading off to the

left. Go that way, and then pass the Chemistry Building .

Lets see , to the library, take the walkway to the right .

No, to the left.

To the left, and past the Chemistry Building .

That’s right, and then you’ll cross a little service road. Walk just a little bit farther and there’s the

Art Building. You can’t miss it because there’s a big abstract metal sculpture right in front of it.

I think I’ve got it.

I hope you enjoy the exhibit. Usually the graduate student exhibits are very interesting, and I’ve

heard this one is especially good.

Actually, the main reason I’m going is that my sister has a couple of paintings in the show. I

wanted to take a look at them.

31. Why was the woman at first confused when the man asked her for directions?

32. According to the woman, what is directly in front of ‘the Art Building?

33. What can be inferred from the conversation about the man’s sister?

34. What is the woman’s attitude toward the man?

Questions 35-38:

Listen to a conversation in an astronomy class.

Professor Carmichael!  l’d like to ask a question. You just said that, according to Einstein, nothing can go faster than the speed of light. Is that right?

Yes, Ted, that’s what Einstein said, and most scientists agree with him.

Then does that mean that we could never build spaceships to go to other stars?

Well, let’s think about it. Do you remember how far it is to the nearest star?

Umm . . . I think you said a few days ago that it’s about four light years.

About that. And how fast does light travel?’

Around 186,000 miles per second.

Yes, and a light-year is the distance light travels in a year! Imagine that! A light-year is the

equivalent of almost 6 trillion miles.

But what if we built a ship that could go almost as fast as light. Then we could get to the

closest star in four or five years.

That’s true in theory. Unfortunately, there are no spaceships that can even approach the speed

 of light. Even if we built ships that are MUCH faster than the rockets we have today, it would

probably take hundreds or thousands of years to get to the closest stars. How could you carry

enough fuel to last that long? We’d need a completely different method of powering spaceships.

So you’re saying that you don’t think people will ever be able to travel to the stars?

Well, I don’t .want to say never, Ted. Who knows what kinds of scientific breakthroughs there

will be? But I think for the foreseeable future, there will only be starships in science fiction

movies and books.

35. What had Professor Carmichael been talking about when Ted asked her a question?

36. If a ship could travel almost as fast as light, how long would it take to get to the closest star?

37. According to Professor Carmichael, what must be developed before ships can travel to the closest stars?

38. How does Professor Carmichael characterize travel to other stars?

Questions 39-41: Listen to a talk given at a newspaper office.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Daily Gazette Building. As I’m sure you’re aware from your journalism classes, large newspapers are divided into a number of areas. All of them important to the success of the overall operation.

We’l1 be visiting three important departments today. We’ll begin our tour with a visit to the Circulation Department, which is responsible for distributing the paper all over the city. Then we’ll move to the Editorial Department. In that department, there’s the City Desk, which is responsible for gathering and reporting local news.

The National Desk and the International Desk are there, too, and various feature desks. Since you’re probably most interested in that part of our operation, we’ll be spending most of our time there, and you’ll have a chance to chat with some of our reporters. Finally, we’ll visit the Production Department, where the newspaper is printed. Please step this way.

39. Whom is the speaker addressing?

40. Where will the people listening to this talk go first?

41. According to the speaker, what type of work is done at the City Desk?

Questions 42-46: Listen to part of a talk about a special student program.

Good evening. For you who don’t know me, I’m Professor Mackenzie of the School of Architecture here at Hunt University. I’ve been involved with “Semester Afloat” for some years now, so We been asked to give this introductory talk about the program. So, what is “Semester Afloat”?

It’s an educational program that is held aboard an ocean-going ship, the S. S. Apollo. There are

three programs you can sign up for: one in the eastern Mediterranean, one in the western

Mediterranean, and one in Southeast Asia. You’ll have the opportunity to see some unforgettable

sights. There are many social activities, and you’ll make lasting friendships during the semester

you spend on the ship, but tonight I want to talk mainly about the academic program.

 The S. S. Apollo is a floating university. The faculty is recruited from the top universities in North America. There’s an excellent library aboard. You’ll study the history, language, art, and architecture of the countries that you visit. I, myself, have taught courses in historical architecture,during two eastern Mediterranean programs, and I can tell you, those classes are unlike any classes you can take here at Hunt or anywhere else.

 For example, last semester I gave a lecture about Greek temple design one morning, and that afternoon, I took my class out to see several Greek temples for themselves. Oh, and of course, for all the classes you take, you’ll receive academic credit at almost any university in the United States. Now, I have a lot more information about this program for you, but before I go on, I want to introduce two students who took part in “Semester Afloat” last semester, and you can ask them any questions you like.

42. What aspect of the “Semester Afloat” program does Professor Mackenzie’s talk focus on?

43. What did Professor Mackenzie teach during the “Semester Afloat” programs?

44. With which of these “Semester Afloat” programs was Professor Mackenzie associated?

45. What does Professor Mackenzie say about “Semester Afloat” classes?”

46. Whom will Professor Mackenzie introduce to the audience next?

47-50: Listen to a talk about niympic speed skating.

Speed skating has been a Winter Olympic event for many years, but in recent years, conditions

on the ice tracks used by speed skaters have gotten better. Until the most recent Winter Olympics, speed skating events were held outdoors. Conditions on outdoor ice tracks vary from

hour to hour, depending on the weather.

 On indoor tracks, conditions can be controlled, giving all skaters an equal opportunity to skate at the top of their form. On indoor tracks, a constant temperature of 20° Fahrenheit can be maintained. This is important because if the ice is too cold, it forms frost, slowing down the skaters, and it chips easily. If the temperature is too high, the ice begins to melt. Also, ice tracks today are made with extremely pure water. Minerals in water make ice soft, and soft ice doesn’t provide enough resistance for skates. Recent improvements in making and maintaining ice will almost certainly lead to new world records in speed skating in the near future.

47. What aspect of speed skating does the speaker primarily discuss?

48. What does the speaker imply about speed skaters who competed before the most recent Winter Olympics?

49. According to the speaker, what happens to ice that contains too many minerals?

50. What prediction does the speaker make about the near future?
