Section I: Listening Comprehension
This section is designed to test
your ability to understand spoken English. You will hear a selection
of recorded materials and you must answer the questions that
accompany them. There are two parts in this section, Part A and Part
B.
Remember, while you are doing the test, you should answer the
questions in your test booklet, NOT on the ANSWER SHEET. At the end
of the listening comprehension section, you will have 3 minutes to
transfer your answers from your test booklet onto your ANSWER SHEET1.
If you have any questions, you may raise your hand NOW as you
will not be allowed to speak once the test is started.Now look at
Part A in your test booklet.
Part A:You will hear 10 short dialogues. For each dialogue, there is
one question and four possible answers. Choose the correct answer A,
B, C or D, and mark it in your test booklet. You will have 15 seconds
to answer the question and you will hear each dialogue ONLY ONCE.
Example:You will hear:W: Could you please tell me if the Beijing
flight will be arriving on time?M: Yes, Madam. It should be arriving
in about ten minutes.You will read:Who do you think the woman is
talking to?[A> a bus conductor[B> a clerk at the airport[C> a taxi
driver[D> a clerk at the station
From the dialogue, we know that only a clerk at the airport is
most likely to know the arrival time of a flight, so you should
choose answer [B> and mark it in your test booklet.Sample Answer[A>
[■> [C> [D>
1. M: That''s a nice dress you''re wearing.W: Thank you. My father
gave it to me as a birthday present. He knows red''s myfavourite
colour.
1. What are they talking about?[A> their best friend[B> their
favourite colour[C> the clothes the woman is wearing[D> a present the
man has bought
2. W: Mike, there''s not much left in the refrigerator.M: Well, I
might be able to pick up a few things after work, but I have to be
back rather late today.W: In that case, we''ll make do with a meal out
at McDonald''s.M: OK. See you there at 8:00.

questions which accompany it. After listening, you will 15 seconds to
answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. You will hear each
conversation ONLY ONCE. Mark your answers in your test booklet.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on a talk by a speaker about his hobbies.
W: Well, Mr. Smith, we have had an interesting discussion about
your work. Now, tell us something about your after work activities.
M: I guess not much different from everyone else. I''m interested
in sport, and I run about 3 miles every day. I particularly enjoy
cross-country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over
streams and so on. While I''m running I think about all sorts of
things, and at the end of a run I''m sometimes surprised to find that
I''ve managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.
Next year I''m going to try the London Marathon. It''s a long, hard
race-26 miles, or 42 kilometers-and you have to be tough to finish,
but I very much want to do it. I worry a bit about getting old, and
I''d like to prove to myself that I''m still almost as fit as I was
twenty years ago.
I ''m interested in climbing as well as running. I''ll never become
an expert climber, but I know what I''m doing in the mountains. I
successfully completed a course in snow and ice climbing when I was
younger, and I''ve done a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the
last few years. My wife doesn''t share my interest in Mountains. She
agreed to go climbing with me once, but she found that she felt ill
as soon as she got above 1,000 meters, so we decide to follow
different hobbies.
W: You certainly seem to enjoy various types of recreation. All
right, Mr. Smith. Thanks for your interesting talk.

Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET 1 by drawing a thick line across
the corresponding letter in the brackets.
Text
It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office
building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along
through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her
very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the
next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and
wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth
floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises,"
she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer.
She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From
inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she
opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same
office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the
interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it
hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing
around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody
must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a
loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought
they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch,
clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all
went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at
work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the
man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained
that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his
work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would
arrive at any moment. Then Marie realised that the day''s work in the
office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that
he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train
every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew
exactly when to start working.
1. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because
_______.[A> it was her first day in a new job[B> she was a little bit
late for work[C> she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place
[D> there was no answer from inside the office
2. Marie could hardly recognise the office she went into as
_______.[A> she had been there only once[B> Mr. King was not in the
office[C> nobody was doing any work[D> the office had a new appearance
3. The people in the office suddenly started working because
_______.[A> they saw a stranger in the office[B> they had finished
their morning break[C> no one wanted to talk to Marie[D> the boss was
about to arrive
4. We can infer from the text that the employees of the
enterprise _______.[A> would start their work by listening to a joke
[B> were cold to newcomers[C> were always punctual for work[D> lacked
devotion to the company
5. The best title for this text would be _______.[A> Punctual
Like A Clock[B> A Cold Welcome[C> An Unpunctual Manager[D> Better
Late Than Never
Part B Read the texts from a magazine article in which five women
talked about their slimming failures. For questions 1 to 5, match the
name of each woman (1 to 5) to each of the statements (A to G) given
below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.
Glynis Davis:I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and
I couldn''t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My
target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone 2lbs in six months. I felt
great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came
and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself
I''d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year... but it
didn''t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I''d lost
the willpower and tried to convince myself that the odd bag of crisps
didn''t make any difference - but the scales don''t lie.
Roz Juma:To be honest, I never weigh myself any more - I''ve
learned to be happy with myself. It seemed ridiculous to feel guilty
about every morsel that passed my lips. My philosophy is simple: You
shouldn''t be preoccupied with food and dieting. Instead, you should
get on with life and stop dreaming about a super-thin body. This is
obviously the size I''m meant to be and, most of all, I''m happy with
it.
Lesley Godwin:I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the
Year. I''d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was
me. That might have been my problem - perhaps I didn''t relate to my
reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything
worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are on you. I
feel a failure because I''ve put on weight again... I find it
humiliating and embarrassing.
Ros Langford:Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I''d always
been about 8 stone, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and
I put on 2 stone in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet...
I''m really good for a few days, then end up eating the children''s
leftovers or gorging on chocolate - my weakness. I''d like to be slim,
but right now my priorities are the children and home. I may be more
motivated when the kids are older.
Julia Minifie:I''m a compulsive eater. I can''t control my urges
and I really love cakes. When I''m slim I feel like a million dollars -
and when I''m not I get very depressed. Over the years I''d tried and
failed with just about every diet. I was determined I''d never put the
weight back on, but at some stage along the line I lost my
resolution, and it started to creep on again... Certainly I will face
the same problem in the future.
Now match each of the women (1 to 5) to the appropriate
statement.Note: there are two extra statements. Statements1. Glynis
Davis [A> I put on weight after I got married.2. Roz Juma [B> The
heavier, the merrier.3. Lesley Godwin [C> Facts speak louder than
words.4. Ros Langford [D> I like myself as I am.5. Julia Minifie [E>
I''m constantly at war with my weight.[F> Fame doesn''t necessarily
mean success.[G> I think I''ll be slim again.
