[00:03.02]Section A
[00:04.65]11. M: The baby crying next door kept me up all night.
[00:09.48]W: She must be ill.
[00:11.29]Q: What happened to the man?
[00:29.10]12. M: Do you know when the test is?
[00:32.66]W: It's on June 15th. It's only five days from now.
[00:36.80]Q: What's the date today?
[00:54.45]13. W: Your books are due on September 27th.
[00:58.31]If you haven't finished using them by then,
[01:00.45]you may renew them once.
[01:02.56]M: Thank you very much.
[01:03.89]I only need them for a few days.
[01:06.16]Q: What's the man doing?
[01:28.22]M: They really should have supermarkets and taxis here.
[01:31.41]You know, life isn't the same without them.
[01:34.09]Q: How does the woman feel?
[01:51.88]15. W: How was your trip to Chicago?
[01:55.02]M: To tell the truth, I would rather have spent my vacation here.
[01:59.26]Q: What does the man mean?
[02:16.70]16. M: There are some cartoons after the news,
[02:20.24]and then there's an adventure story.
[02:23.30]W: What time does the adventure story start?
[02:25.94]Q: What are they talking about?
[02:43.57]17. M: There's Bill on his motorcycle.
[02:50.13]W: Don't be silly, that would have been a waste of money.
[02:53.06]It only had a flat tire.
[03:14.40]18. M: Paul says he doesn't like television.
[03:18.44]W: Yes, but he seems to spend a lot of time watching it, doesn't he?
[03:22.52]Q: What does the woman think about Paul?
[03:42.12]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[03:45.85]Conversation One
[03:47.95]W: Good evening, sir.
[03:49.23]I've come to investigate the burglary that you phoned about.
[03:53.29]Now can you tell me what you know about it?
[03:56.27]M: Well, for a start, this isn't my house.
[03:59.07]I'm just staying here for 6 months
[04:00.87]while my parents are working in Japan.
[04:03.49]So, apart from a few obvious things,
[04:05.60]like the radio, the TV, the records and some paintings,
[04:09.62]I don't really know what else is gone.
[04:11.95]W: How exactly did you discover the burglary?
[04:15.00]M: I went out at eight, as I do every Thursday,
[04:18.80]to go to my Italian class at the Institute in Roland Street.
[04:23.63]Afterwards I went to the Black Lion for a drink
[04:25.94]and I got back here just half past ten.
[04:28.90]W: How can you be so sure of the time?
[04:31.35]M: Because I stayed in the club until closing time,
[04:34.27]and it's only a two minute walk from here.
[04:37.40]W: I see. And what did you find when you got back here?
[04:41.32]M: All this mess you can see around you.
[04:43.77]I just walked in through the front door and found this.
[04:49.47]draws emptied and thrown about.
[04:52.12]It's like an earthquake!
[04:56.49]M: Yes, the lock on the kitchen door has been forced.
[05:00.03]W: Well, how soon could you let us know exactly what has been stolen?
[05:05.00]M: I suppose I'll have to write and tell my parents straightaway.
[05:08.45]They're not due back until next month.
[05:10.50]W: Well, if you don't mind.
[05:11.75]I'll just check for fingerprints6 and any other clues.
[05:15.98]And if I were you, I'd get down to that letter straightaway.
[05:20.06]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[05:26.16]19. Whose house has been burglarized?
[05:44.67]20. What does the man usually do every Thursday?
[06:03.12]21. How did the burglar get into the house?
[06:21.59]22. What did the woman advise the man to do?
[06:41.57]Conversation Two
[06:43.88]W: Ron, what's your hobby?
[06:45.99]M: I don't really have one.
[06:51.06]W: How about the other people in your family?
[06:54.20]M: Well my son likes swimming and my wife has a garden.
[06:58.23]She spends an hour or so every day working in it. How about you?
[07:02.21]W: I have several hobbies but collecting coins is the one I like best.
[07:06.67]I have coins from almost every country.
[07:09.24]My favorite one is from China.
[07:11.23]M: Have you ever been to China?
[07:12.88]W: I want to someday.
[07:14.42]So far I've been to Canada, Mexico and Japan.
[07:18.11]Why don't you have a real hobby? Are you lazy?
[07:21.45]M: I like bowling but it's kind of expensive.
[07:24.40]The real reason I don't have a hobby is that I don't have the time.
[07:28.72]W: Oh, come on, Ron. You aren't that busy, are you?
[07:32.75]M: Yes, I am. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day.
[07:37.18]Being a traveling sales man is harder than you think.
[07:40.31]You know last week I was in Washington
[07:41.90]and before that in New York.
[07:43.76]And next week I have to go to Chicago.
[07:46.01]W: It does sound like you're pretty busy.
[07:48.35]I guess it's better just to stay here in the office.
[07:51.15]At least I get to go home at 5 : 00 every night.
[07:54.27]M: That's a lot better than 9 : 30
[07:56.28]or 10 : 00 or sometimes midnight.
[07:59.66]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[08:05.61]23. Where does the woman want to go someday?
[08:25.04]24. Why doesn't the man have a real hobby?
[08:43.42]25. What time does the woman usually finish work?
[09:03.51]Section B
[09:05.86]Passage One
[09:07.96]By midday the sun was so strong
[09:10.46]that Jim could not go any further.
[09:13.36]There were no trees near the path,
[09:15.40]so he took shelter under a big rock.
[09:17.84]After drinking the rest of his water,
[09:20.07]he took off his shirt and rolled it into a pillow.
[09:23.11]Then he lay down on the ground and went to sleep.
[09:25.80]It was late in the afternoon when he awoke.
[09:28.19]He was just about to jump up
[09:29.65]when he felt something moving near his feet.
[09:32.21]He looked down.
[09:33.51]A long black snake was just about to crawl across his legs.
[09:37.73]Jim watched, too frightened to do anything.
[09:40.14]The snake moved across his legs;
[09:42.36]it hesitated for a moment,
[09:44.43]then crawled on and disappeared under the rock.
[09:47.36]Jim leapt to his feet pausing only to pick up his shirt,
[09:51.16]ran off down the path.
[09:53.72]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[09:59.43]26. Why couldn't Jim go any further?
[10:18.05]27. When did Jim awake?
[10:35.75]28. How did Jim feel when he saw the long black snake?
[10:56.17]Passage Two
[10:58.56]Normally an American student must attend
[11:01.09]a certain number of courses in order to graduate.
[11:04.71]In many cases university terms follow basically the German pattern
[11:09.82]with two semesters in each year,
[11:11.93]and each course lasts for a semester.
[11:14.35]Under this system the total work for a degree
[11:22.32]A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks,
[11:28.27]while attending a university a student will probably
[11:31.79]attend four or five courses during each semester.
[11:36.84]Normally a student would expect to take four years,
[11:40.19]attending two semesters each year.
[11:43.06]It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree
[11:46.61]over a longer period than four years,
[11:49.42]and some students may take jobs for fairly long periods
[11:53.38]during their degree course,
[11:55.83]thus extending the total length of time
[11:58.28]between entering a university and finishing.
[12:02.07]Again it is possible for a student to move between
[12:05.64]one university and another during this course,
[12:09.03]though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
[12:13.56]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[12:19.69]29. How many courses must an American student attend in order to graduate?
[12:40.59]30. How many classes does a typical course have?
[12:59.76]31. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
[13:20.02]Passage Three
[13:21.81]Turning to the local scene,
[13:23.66]the strike by the city bus drivers has just gone into its third day.
[13:28.45]And those negotiations9 are continuing between the city officials
[13:32.57]and representatives of the bus drivers' union.
[13:36.62]No settlement is in sight.
[13:39.00]The drivers say that salaries are not the main issue in the dispute,
[13:43.36]that working conditions and employee pension plans
[13:46.66]will have to be improved before they return to their jobs.
[13:50.67]In the meantime, city residents are coping as best they can
[13:54.55]with the city transportation tie up.
[13:57.20]Many people are reported to be sharing cars to and from work.
[14:01.96]And many others have rediscovered the pleasures of walking.
[14:09.35]his 20 blocks to his office earlier this morning,
[14:13.27]told us that he did not think he would go back
[14:15.68]to riding the buses after the strike is over,
[14:18.56]"It's healthier," he said,
[14:20.48]"I'm getting the type of exercise I've never gotten before, and I feel wonderful."
[14:26.00]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[14:31.88]32. What did the reporter say about the negotiations to end the strike of the bus drivers?
[14:54.17]33. What is one of the main issues in the dispute?
[15:13.43]34. Why does Floyd Brewster like walking to work?
[15:32.82]35. What have some of the people done to help themselves during the strike?
[15:53.91]Section C
[15:56.25]The Tomato Growers Association, or TGA,
[15:59.83]has set out to grow a super tomato
[16:02.56]at an experimental farm near San Diego, California.
[16:12.18]the TGA has determined12 to grow the "tomato of tomorrow."
[16:20.76]the tomato plant would be able to fight off attacks by insects.
[16:25.95]It would resist disease and rot,
[16:28.34]and would maintain its shape when shipped
[16:30.97]at the bottom of a load of tons of tomatoes.
[16:34.63]The skin would be tough,
[16:36.27]to permit it to be harvested by machine without damage.
[16:40.04]Its heavy, thick leaves would prevent it from becoming sunburned.
[16:53.65]And it would be just as juicy and tasty as the consumer wants it to be.
[16:58.98]While development of this plant will prove to be extremely expensive,
[17:04.24]TGA scientists believe that if they can achieve their goal,
[17:08.24]the industry will eventually benefit from
[17:18.35]that the new tomato will bring.
[17:23.78]The Tomato Growers Association, or TGA,
[17:27.02]has set out to grow a super tomato
[17:29.80]at an experimental farm near San Diego, California.
[17:37.96]Employing biotechnology and developments in DNA research,
[17:42.41]the TGA has determined to grow the "tomato of tomorrow."
[17:47.34]By emitting a repellent in the form of an odor,
[17:52.08]the tomato plant would be able to fight off attacks by insects.
[17:58.23]It would resist disease and rot,
[18:01.59]and would maintain its shape when shipped
[18:04.10]at the bottom of a load of tons of tomatoes.
[18:10.95]The skin would be tough,
[18:12.33]to permit it to be harvested by machine without damage.
[19:07.45]Its heavy, thick leaves would prevent it from becoming sunburned.
[19:11.51]All tomatoes on a plant would ripen at the same time,
[19:15.05]to prevent the loss from machine harvest of under or over ripened fruit.
[19:21.44]And it would be just as juicy and tasty as the consumer wants it to be.
[20:16.35]While development of this plant will prove to be extremely expensive,
[20:21.36]TGA scientists believe that if they can achieve their goal,
[20:25.54]the industry will eventually benefit
[20:27.18]from the many advantages and cost savings,
[20:31.12]particularly from harvest labor expenses and shipping loss,
[20:35.92]that the new tomato will bring.
[21:12.54]The Tomato Growers Association, or TGA,
[21:16.00]has set out to grow a super tomato

[21:50.90]The skin would be tough,

[21:56.23]Its heavy, thick leaves would prevent it from becoming sunburned.
[22:00.46]All tomatoes on a plant would ripen at the same time,
