中级口译听力教程第三版2AAn intermediate course of English listening. Third edition.Unit four. Part one. How children learn social behaviors.2. Exercises. 1. This is a talk about how children learn social behaviors. Listen to the first part of the talk and then supply the missing words you hear from the talk.W: Hi, welcome. Today we are going to talk about how children learn social behaviors, especially how they learn lessons from the family, the most basic unit of our social structure. There are a lot of discussions these days about how families are changing, and whether non-traditional families have a good or bad effect on children. But it’s important to remember that the type of the family a child comes from is not nearly as important as the kind of love and support that exist in the home. I’d like to focus on three of the ways the children acquire their behavior, through rewards, punishments, and finally modeling. First then, let’s discuss rewards. A reward can be defined as a positive reinforcement for good behavior. An example of a reward is when the parent says if you eat your vegetable you can have ice-cream for dissert, or a parent might say finish your homework first then you can watch TV. Most parents use rewards unconsciously, because they want their children to behave well. For example, a parent might give a gift to a child because the child behaved well, or parents might give child money for doing what the parents asked.2. Now listen to the second part of the talk. Provide the missing information in the spaces given below.The opposite of the reward is a punishment. Punishments are the second important way in which a child is socialized. All of us have probably been punished in our lives. For example maybe our parents stopped us from going out with friends, because we did something we were not supposed to do, or maybe they wouldn’t let us watch TV, because we got a bad grade on the test. Both rewards and punishments are controversial. Many people think they are not effective or necessary, especially when used often. Let’s take this situation. A young boy has been asked to take out the garbage. Listen to situation A. The parents say if you take out the garbage for me I will give you a cookie. Some people argue that this reward is unnecessary, because it’s like a bribe. They argue that the child should be taught that it’s his duty to help with house hold chords, and that he should not get a special reward for doing something that’s his responsibility. Situation B would go something like this. David please take out the trash now. And David says OK dad. Not surprisingly punishment is extremely controversial, especially when the punishment is physical. Some of us grew up expecting to be spanked if we misbehaved. For example, our parents may have hit us on the hand if we talked back to them. But I don’t agree that spanking can teach children anything. And sadly some children are subject to really serious physical abuse. According to a study I just read one in 22 children is a victim of physical abuse. Children who come from homes where violence were used to solve problems are much more likely to abuse their own children when they become adults and have their own families.Part 2. Statements. 3. Exercises. Listen and then choose the answer which is closed in meaning to each statement you hear.1.

Listen to the following conversation about Simon’s family. And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Hello, Simon. I’d like to talk to you about your family.M: Well, probably the most important influence in my life was my family. Not just my mother and father, but my extended family. I grew up very close to them. I had never really sawpeople out besides my family. And we lived together in a 3 generation house.W: Three generations in one house? That’s am azing!M: I remember feeling when I was in the car, and we were going some place with my parents and grand-parents. I used to feel sorry for all the other children on the street, because they weren’t going anywhere with their own families. So I was very h appy.W: Weren’t there ever any problems with you all live in the same house?M: Well, there was a time when I was in college. And you see my father always wanted his children with him. He was actually more protective of us than my mother was. And I remember I had a big project to do for school. And they were going away for the weekend, and I had decided that I wasn’t going to go because I needed to do my work. And this caused a terrible problem. And I did end up going because my father was so upset. So I think of course as I got older I started to realize that I had to live my own life. But it wasn’t that easy. W: How many children were there?M: Well, I was the oldest of three boys. And of course we used to dance and roller-skate in the basement and pl ay together, I didn’t play with children on my block very much.W: It sounds like you had a really good up-bringing.M: Well, I had very positive feelings about my family. And the most positive feeling is love. What I learned from different people in my family and perhaps some of my best traits, my father was a very generous person, and I learned that you should care about other people. Questions:1) Which of the following statements is true about Simon’s family?2) According Simon what was the problem with his family?3) How many children were there in Simon’s family?4) Simon says he has very positive feelings about his family. What is the most positive feeling according to him?2. Growing up in the single parent house hold. This is a conversation about a single parent family. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Michael, I know you grew up in a single parent house hold. Can you tell me about your family?M: OK. My mother and father migrated to the US from Mexico when I was 5 years old, and my sister was 3. But then my mother left my father, so it was just my mother, my sister and myself. And my mother was a garnered worker. You know, sewing. But that industry is seasonal. So when there was work she worked a lot, then she would find people to take care of us until she got home. When we were a little older we pretty much took care of ourselves. W: Did you play with other kids in the neighborhood much?M: Oh, yeah, there was a good stretch when I was in junior high school and played out in the street a lot. After school I would be out and just play stick ball, marbles, yoyo, just ran around the neighborhood.W: What kind of lessons do you think you learn from your mother?M: Well, I guess there were 2 things. The first thing I remember is being taught to pretty much take care of myself. You know, picking up after yourself around the house. And I remember her teaching me cooking, cleaning, and ironing, and I remember running errands because in dinner time there was always something she had forgotten to get.W: You said you learned 2 lessons.M: I guess the other lesson was just, you know, how important it is to get an education. I remember she wanted us to learn Spanish, so she bought a blackboard and started teaching us in the house.W: Well, Michael, over the past generation or so, family structures has changed a lot. How important do you think these changes are?M: Well, I don’t really know if it has changed that much. Sure, there has been an increasing single par ent households. But I don’t know if the family has really changed. But I do think is important is having a person in the family who does what has to be done to show you the right way, so that you get an education, moral instruction, religious outlook, some positive influences in you life, and anger in your life. So, for example, school was very influential in my life. There were enough good teachers to really point me in the right direction. It’s not just what you get in the home, but other positive influences as well.Questions:1) Who compose Michael’s family when his parents separated?2) What was his mother’s job at that time?3) Michael says he learned 2 lessons from his mother, what was the first lesson?4) What was the second lesson he learned from his mother?5) Which of the following statements is true about Michael’s life?3. Is there any advice you could give parents? This is a conversation about adolescence. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Peter, they say that adolescence is the time when people begin to get most pressure from their peers. Do you think that’s true?M: What I have seen is that adolescence is the time when the pressure begins to shift from the family and the school to friends. I think it begins about 11, but comes into full bloom at about 13, 14.W: What actually happens then?M: Well, the first thing you see is that adolescence begins to make fashion statements. And certainly those ideas don’t come from you. You can tell at a glance that they don’t come from you, like wearing baggy pants that look like it falling down, and piercing their ears. My younger son began to ask if he could dye his hair blue.W: And what did you say?M: We said when he was a little older, he could make that decision, with the hope that that fad would have passed out of style.W: OK, but where would you draw the line? I mean you let him wear baggy pants, but would you let him dye his hair?M: I think in the end I would, but not without a fight.W: So what other things happen?M: Well, as the kids get older you start to lose them, because they are always talking on the phone or talking on line or doing other things. Even when they are home they are in their room most of the time talking on the phone and not just talking on the phone, they might be talking to one person on the phone and to other people on line. And the only thing you know for sure is they are not talking to you.W: Do you think this is all normal behavior? I mean should you be trying to monitor it?M: I think both. It’s healthy to develop your own values, your own tastes. But I also think thatparents should be monitoring it. When it’s a question of fashion, that’s OK. Where you draw the line is when they are doing something dangerous or illegal, drugs, smoking, drinking. W: Is there any advice you could give parents?M: Well, one thing is to think back to your own experiences as a teenager. I must say I find myself repeating the same annoying language my father used with me. I have to try to remember not to do that.W: So how you talked to your kids is important.M: Yes, and it’s hard to watch your kids doing things you don’t want them to do. For example, my kids are into video games. And I can’t find any value whatsoever in these games. But I think you don’t have to like everything your kids do, as long as it’s not dangerous or illegal. Questions:1) What are they talking about in the short conversation?2) According to the conversation adolescence likes to do several things. Which of the following is not one of these things?3) Apart from arguments with their kids, what other things happen to parents as their children get older?4) What is the parents’ right attitude towards such behavior of their kids?5) What advice does the man give to parents at the end of the conversation?Part four.

Sample test 3.Part A. Spot dictation. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once.OK. Making a presentation is often the source of anxiety for people. They usually ranked it as one of things they least wanted to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips to make your next presentation go more smoothly. First, it’s very important to analyze the situation. Think about your audience. What do they want to know? What do you want to accomplish? What is the most effective way to get your ideas across in the time that you have? Once you figure that out, you’re ready for step 2, preparation. Make an outline of your key objectives. This will help you shape a clear presentation. You want to begin with an introduction. Go on to cover your main points and then end with a conclusion. Remember to be clear and simple. Too many details will confuse and bore your audience. The third step is practice. One of the best ways to eliminate anxiety is to spend time knowing your material. Reread it and practice speaking in front of a mirror or another person. You could also tape yourself and play it back to see how you can improve. Practice will make you more confident. The delivery of your presentation is the fourth important step. Concentrate on maintaining good gesture, speaking clearly and slowly, and making eye contact with your audience. Beginning your presentation with an anecdote or a funny story is a good way to make that initial contact with your audience. Remember to smile. Finally, it’s a good idea to use visual aids. They are very effective methods of conveying your ideas. And keep them simple and easy to read. Charts, slides, videos or hand-outs, all of these can be effective tools when used properly. Make sure you are prepared, and know how to use any equipment ahead of time. By following these 5 steps you should be able to enjoy your next presentation. Don’t dread it. Part B. Listening comprehension.1. Statements. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken only once. And you will not find them written on the paper. So you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Now let’s begin with question number one.1) Good news! I am not going to need any surgery after all. The doctor says that I can start working out again soon.2) I have to fill out these forms now. They are due at the financial aid office by tomorrow afternoon.3) I feel horrible. Jane was furious that I lost her notes. But I will let her cool off a few days before I talk to her.4) Last Monday when I was at doctor Smith’s office I spend over an hour in the waiting room. Something must have come up that day.5) About the concert tonight it’s unlikely I will be able to pick you up before 7. What about just getting together there?6) I didn’t even read the text book, but I still manage to get an A on the test. Now you know why I never miss the lecture.7) I am going to be at a lecture in the auditorium most of this morning. And you know what the air-conditioning is like there. That’s why I am wearing this sweater.8) Did you go to the concert th e other day? It’s set a record for attendance. There wasn’t an empty seat in the house.9) The state ballet is coming to town next weekend and I just happen to have one ticket, but I got some sort of conflict in my schedule.10) How much longer should I boil these vegetables? They looked pretty done to me. The recipe says it needs only about 10 minutes total.2. Talks and conversations. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully because you will hear the talk or conversation and the questions only once. When you hear a question read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet.W: For the first time ever the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside their own solar system. Of course we knew that certain distance stars existed, but only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets.M: Why did it take so long to locate these planets?W: You have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars. It will be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion. We don't currently have a telescope that can be used to see them.M: But if the astronomers didn’t see the planets through a telescope how did they find them? W: By a very indirect method. The astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of light from the parent stars, and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth. They determined that this was caused by gravitational pull from orbiting planets.M: There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona. Will that help them see these planets?W: They should be but to see them at least at the form of small spot of light, and then the scientists will be able to break down and analyze this light. By doing this they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets, oxygen and ozone molecules, for example, would be tell-tale signs of life on these planets.M: I am looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation. And I am sure our readers will be interested too.Questions:11) What is the purpose of this conversation?12) What is the conversation mainly about?13) How did the scientist establish the existence of the planets?14) According to the professor what might the scientists learn about the planets by using the new telescope?Questions 15 to 18 are based on the following talk.I am Frank. I am having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we are so smart that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the text book confusing and then I get discouraged. I can’t make sense of what the teacher saying in class.Well, some of us got together and formed the study group. It seems to work OK most of the time. We compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He will forget his notes or he won’t have read the book before hand. That really bothers me. I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have a h ard time in the final exam. Questions:15) Which of the following subjects is Frank having trouble with?16) Which of the following statements is not true as regards Frank’s difficulty with the subject?17) What’s the learning strategy Frank and his cl assmates are using?18) Which of the following statements is not true according to Frank?Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following 2 talks.M: I am Michael. I am trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of embarrassing. Most o f the other kids have already picked it up and I just can’t get it. There is this soft ware manual at school. I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There were simply too much information for me to remember. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I am not sure what to do next. W: I am Sonia. I am going to France next summer. So I want to learn as much French as I can. So I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is that the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see it’s supposed to be a beginning level class. No way, I am telling you most of the people in there, they already know how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basic conversational phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am a complete beginner. I did not know one word of French when I started this class. So I always feel lost even from day one I had no idea what was going on. Now the teacher is nice, but he is not very good. He gets off the topic and he will get stock on some tiny little point for like half an hour at time. But, you know, I really shouldn’t complain it at all, because this class is free.Questions:19) What is Michael trying to learn?20) Michael admits he had some problems. Which of the following is not one of the problems he mentions in his talk?21) Why is Sonia starting to learn French?22) Sonia mentions several problems for the French class she is attending. Which of the following is not one of these problems?Questions 23 to 30 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey, Louisiana/Rosana, over here!W: Hi, Mike. How are you? Been waiting long?M: No, not at all. Have a seat.W: Oh, it’s great to see you.M: Same here. So how is the new apartment working out?W: Good! Good! I like it. The neighborhood though is …M: Oh, what’s the matter?W: Well, there is real graffiti problem. Some of the buildings down the street are covered with it, and it looks terrible.M: I know what you mean. My neighborhood is the same way. I think we need to report people who are writing the graffiti to the police.W: Yeah, that would really help, except I never see them doing it.M: Well. Other than that how is the new neighborhood?W: Well, I like all the stores. It’s convenient for shopping. And it’s pretty quiet at night. That’s definitely a plus.M: Sounds like you are pretty satisfied.W: Yeah, I guess so. The only other problem is that it’s impossible to find parking. I have to drive around to block 6 or 7 times to find the space. Usually I can find one. But sometimes I have to park really far away.M: Well, is there any way you can rent space in the garage?W: Yeah, that’s a good idea. I am thinking ab out doing just that. So how are things in your neighborhoods?M: Well, there is a bit of noise problem where I live. I live down the street from a school. The bell rings every morning at 7:30. It’s impossible to sleep in.W: Oh, what a drag!M: Yeah. And when the school lets out kids are really noisy. I mean they are nice kids, just loud.W: Well, I don’t know what you could do about that situation.M: Yeah, there is really nothing I could do, I guess. I just have to live with it. I don’t know. Questions:23) Where are Mike and Louisiana/Rosana?24) Rosana mentions that her neighborhood has several features to recommend. Which of the following does Rosana not mention?25) According to the conversation there is one real problem in both the woman’s ne ighborhood and the man’s. Which is that problem?27) What’s the other problem that Rosana mentions about her neighborhood?28) What’s the problem with Mike’s neighborhood?29) Which of the following things causes the problem?30) What can Mike do about that situation?Part C.

Unit 15. Part one. First aid. 2. Exercises.1. Listen to the passage about first aid. And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.The most important thing about first aid is to do only what is necessary, but to do that is carefully and quickly as you can. When an accident happens, don’t rush or get exited. Stop and think first. If the injured person is in no immediate danger from fire, water or traffic, leave him lying where he is. A rolled up cope or pull over placed under his head and a cope blanket over him is the best treatment you can give while waiting for help. If the person is unconscious, loosening his clothing and especially around the neck. If an arm or leg lies awkwardly or looks out of shape, trying not to move it. Remember that you can do a lot of harm by trying to do too much. Of course there are times when you can’t wait for help, and you must do the best you can until a doctor or ambulance arrives. If the injured person has stopped breathing, you must start artificial respiration as soon as possible. If he is bleeding badly you must act immediately to stop the flow of blood. If he can’t stand the side of blood, take a few deep breath through your mouth, this will enable you to think clearly and act calmly.Questions:1) What is the most important thing about first aid?2) What should we do if the injured person is in no immediate danger?3) Which of the following is not an act of first aid?2.

First aid for young children. Listen to the following talk about first aid for young children.And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.As any parent will tell you small cuts and minor grazers are unavoidable among small children. Such cuts and grazers were usually needed little or no treatment. The bleeding will clean the wound naturally and it should stop within a few minutes as the blood clots and dries. More serious cuts may need to be gentler cleaned with soft cotton and warm water. They should then be dressed with a clean cotton bandage. Follow this simple check list of questions. Ask yourself each of these questions in order to make sure you treat cuts and grazers properly. Firstly, is the cut on the face. If it is, call a doctor as soon as possible, especially if the eyes injured. Secondly, is the cut near the eye. If it is, put a clean piece of cotton wool over it and press it on firmly for about 5 minutes. Thirdly, ask yourself if the cut is still bleeding badly. If it is, dress it with a clean cotton bandage and call a doctor as soon as possible. Fourthly, is the cut a deep one and is it wide open. If it is, clean the cut gently with clean cotton wool and a little warm water then hold it close with an adhesive dressing. Fifth question, was the cut made by a nail or a long sharp piece of wood. If it was, there may be some dirt in the cut. Let it bleed for a while to clean itself. Then clean it with cotton wool and warm water and dress it with a clean cotton bandage. Finally, don’t forget that young children can become very easily upset or shocked by a cut, especially if it is a serious one. Try to keep them calm and quiet. Don’t give them anything to drink but keep their lips wet with a little water.Questions:1) What should you do if a child is cut near the eye?2) What should you do with a very deep cut?3) What should you do if the child is nervous or upset?3. How to keep fit? Listen to the following interview and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Could you tell how we should keep fit?M: Well, really what we should do is to try to keep fit or round. Now what do I mean by that?I mean such things as keeping up our strength and our suppleness and our stamina. Now you may say why do we need all 3 of those things? Well, strength is usually really just so that we don’t strain muscles or pull ligaments and tendons when we suddenly have to do somethi ng and be energetic, like to lift a heavy suitcase or perhaps shift a wardrobe or even get out of a chair or a bath. Suppleness is important obviously, so that you can bend and move freely and reach things, again without injuring yourself. And stamina is particularly important so that you can sought of keep going without losing breath, so you have endurance. One other great plus about developing stamina, is that you maintain your stamina over a period of years. It actually has an affect of protecting the heart against heart disease.W: So out of those three which is most important?M: Well, it depends who you are, and what you want to do. I mean the reason for keeping fit is to keep it for your way of life, the life you choose. Now you may say, “Well, if I choose the sort of flop about in an armchair all day watching tele, I don’t need to keep very fit, do I?” Well, that’s unfortunately not true, because there are always times when you have to make a little bit of extra amount on your body by force of circumstance. You may have to suddenly lift something heavy, or move something, or may have to run for a bus or whatever, in which case you do yourself at injury, and you may even actually harm something important likeyour heart. So it is important to actually try to keep your fitness a little ahead of the sort of way of life that you have. Just to push yourself, just that little bit harder, and get yourself just that little bit fitter.Questions:1) According to the man being interviewed, for which group of people is keeping fit important?2) According to the man being interviewed, which of the following factors is not included in the idea of keeping fit?3) Which of the following is more important for protecting your heart?4) Which of the following is not true according to the interview?Part four.

Sample test 3.Part A. Spot dictation. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once.OK. Making a presentation is often the source of anxiety for people. They usually ranked it as one of things they least wanted to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips to make your next presentation go more smoothly. First, it’s very important to analyze the situation. Think about your audience. What do they want to know? What do you want to accomplish? What is the most effective way to get your ideas across in the time that you have? Once you figure that out, you’re ready for step 2, preparation. Make an outline of your key objectives. This will help you shape a clear presentation. You want to begin with an introduction. Go on to cover your main points and then end with a conclusion. Remember to be clear and simple. Too many details will confuse and bore your audience. The third step is practice. One of the best ways to eliminate anxiety is to spend time knowing your material. Reread it and practice speaking in front of a mirror or another person. You could also tape yourself and play it back to see how you can improve. Practice will make you more confident. The delivery of your presentation is the fourth important step. Concentrate on maintaining good gesture, speaking clearly and slowly, and making eye contact with your audience. Beginning your presentation with an anecdote or a funny story is a good way to make that initial contact with your audience. Remember to smile. Finally, it’s a good idea to use visual aids. They are very effective methods of conveying your ideas. And keep them simple and easy to read. Charts, slides, videos or hand-outs, all of these can be effective tools when used properly. Make sure you are prepared, and know how to use any equipment ahead of time. By following these 5 steps you should be able to enjoy your next presentation. Don’t dread it. Part B. Listening comprehension.1. Statements. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken only once. And you will not find them written on the paper. So you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Now let’s begin with question number one.1) Good news! I am not going to need any surgery after all. The doctor says that I can start working out again soon.2) I have to fill out these forms now. They are due at the financial aid office by tomorrow afternoon.3) I feel horrible. Jane was furious that I lost her notes. But I will let her cool off a few days before I talk to her.4) Last Monday when I was at doctor Smith’s office I spend over an hour in the waiting room. Something must have come up that day.5) About the concert tonight it’s unlikely I will be able to pick you up before 7. What about just getting together there?6) I didn’t even read the text book, but I still manage to get an A on the test. Now you know why I never miss the lecture.7) I am going to be at a lecture in the auditorium most of this morning. And you know what the air-conditioning is like there. That’s why I am wearing this sweater.8) Did you go to the concert th e other day? It’s set a record for attendance. There wasn’t an empty seat in the house.9) The state ballet is coming to town next weekend and I just happen to have one ticket, but I got some sort of conflict in my schedule.10) How much longer should I boil these vegetables? They looked pretty done to me. The recipe says it needs only about 10 minutes total.2. Talks and conversations. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully because you will hear the talk or conversation and the questions only once. When you hear a question read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet.W: For the first time ever the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside their own solar system. Of course we knew that certain distance stars existed, but only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets.M: Why did it take so long to locate these planets?W: You have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars. It will be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion. We don't currently have a telescope that can be used to see them.M: But if the astronomers didn’t see the planets through a telescope how did they find them? W: By a very indirect method. The astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of light from the parent stars, and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth. They determined that this was caused by gravitational pull from orbiting planets.M: There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona. Will that help them see these planets?W: They should be but to see them at least at the form of small spot of light, and then the scientists will be able to break down and analyze this light. By doing this they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets, oxygen and ozone molecules, for example, would be tell-tale signs of life on these planets.M: I am looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation. And I am sure our readers will be interested too.Questions:11) What is the purpose of this conversation?12) What is the conversation mainly about?13) How did the scientist establish the existence of the planets?14) According to the professor what might the scientists learn about the planets by using the new telescope?Questions 15 to 18 are based on the following talk.I am Frank. I am having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we are so smart that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the text book confusing and then I get discouraged. I can’t make sense of what the teacher saying in class.Well, some of us got together and formed the study group. It seems to work OK most of the time. We compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He will forget his notes or he won’t have read the book before hand. That really bothers me. I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have a h ard time in the final exam. Questions:15) Which of the following subjects is Frank having trouble with?16) Which of the following statements is not true as regards Frank’s difficulty with the subject?17) What’s the learning strategy Frank and his cl assmates are using?18) Which of the following statements is not true according to Frank?Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following 2 talks.M: I am Michael. I am trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of embarrassing. Most o f the other kids have already picked it up and I just can’t get it. There is this soft ware manual at school. I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There were simply too much information for me to remember. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I am not sure what to do next. W: I am Sonia. I am going to France next summer. So I want to learn as much French as I can. So I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is that the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see it’s supposed to be a beginning level class. No way, I am telling you most of the people in there, they already know how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basic conversational phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am a complete beginner. I did not know one word of French when I started this class. So I always feel lost even from day one I had no idea what was going on. Now the teacher is nice, but he is not very good. He gets off the topic and he will get stock on some tiny little point for like half an hour at time. But, you know, I really shouldn’t complain it at all, because this class is free.Questions:19) What is Michael trying to learn?20) Michael admits he had some problems. Which of the following is not one of the problems he mentions in his talk?21) Why is Sonia starting to learn French?22) Sonia mentions several problems for the French class she is attending. Which of the following is not one of these problems?Questions 23 to 30 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey, Louisiana/Rosana, over here!W: Hi, Mike. How are you? Been waiting long?M: No, not at all. Have a seat.W: Oh, it’s great to see you.M: Same here. So how is the new apartment working out?W: Good! Good! I like it. The neighborhood though is …M: Oh, what’s the matter?W: Well, there is real graffiti problem. Some of the buildings down the street are covered with it, and it looks terrible.M: I know what you mean. My neighborhood is the same way. I think we need to report people who are writing the graffiti to the police.W: Yeah, that would really help, except I never see them doing it.M: Well. Other than that how is the new neighborhood?W: Well, I like all the stores. It’s convenient for shopping. And it’s pretty quiet at night. That’s definitely a plus.M: Sounds like you are pretty satisfied.W: Yeah, I guess so. The only other problem is that it’s impossible to find parking. I have to drive around to block 6 or 7 times to find the space. Usually I can find one. But sometimes I have to park really far away.M: Well, is there any way you can rent space in the garage?W: Yeah, that’s a good idea. I am thinking ab out doing just that. So how are things in your neighborhoods?M: Well, there is a bit of noise problem where I live. I live down the street from a school. The bell rings every morning at 7:30. It’s impossible to sleep in.W: Oh, what a drag!M: Yeah. And when the school lets out kids are really noisy. I mean they are nice kids, just loud.W: Well, I don’t know what you could do about that situation.M: Yeah, there is really nothing I could do, I guess. I just have to live with it. I don’t know. Questions:23) Where are Mike and Louisiana/Rosana?24) Rosana mentions that her neighborhood has several features to recommend. Which of the following does Rosana not mention?25) According to the conversation there is one real problem in both the woman’s ne ighborhood and the man’s. Which is that problem?27) What’s the other problem that Rosana mentions about her neighborhood?28) What’s the problem with Mike’s neighborhood?29) Which of the following things causes the problem?30) What can Mike do about that situation?Part C.

A man is narrating his experience in London. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.When I was in college I spent a semester studying in London. Even though we speak the same language English people and Americans are very different. I guess I felt that the Americans had a bad reputation. Some people think we allowed, and we speak on minds too much. So I tried to listen a bit more, and not be so assertive if that make sense. I want to make a good impression. I shouldn’t have worried about it, but I did. I love the life style th ere, going out for afternoon tea was fun, and I really love the old buildings. We don’t have anything that all in the United States, so that is pretty amazing. The British also have a different sense of humor. I really like it. Their comedy shows on TV are really funny.

You see once I discovered tapas, oh, let me explain. These delicious appetizers you eat. So I made some Spanish friends and we would go out to tapas bars.

Everything seemed so different. Just using a pay phone for example, or going to a doctor was different.

I felt like I was living in a bubble separated from the Americans. But once I started feeling more confident about my English, I started meeting Americans. I found them very friendly and open, and turned out to be very easy to make friends. But there was one thing about Americans that bothered me at first. I found it hard to get used to the way they talk so much about themselves. It took me a long time to understand you are supposed to talk about yourself too.
