W: I just heard about a really beautiful park in the east end of the town. There are a lot of
roses in bloom.
M: Why don’t we walk over there and see for ourselves?
Q: What will the speakers probably do?
12.

you there.

o’clock tomorrow.

W: I knew she would from the very beginning. Such a brilliant and diligent girl! She certainly
deserves it.
Q: What does the woman mean?
15.
W: Taking a bus to Miami, it’s cheaper than going by train.
M: That’s true. But I’d rather pay a little more for the added comfort and convenience.
Q: What does the man mean?
16.
M: I think it’s time we got rid of all this old furniture.
W: You’re right. We need to promote our image besides it’s not a real antique.
Q: What do the speakers mean?
17.
M: That was some storm yesterday. How was I afraid I couldn’t make it home.
W: Yeah, most of the roads to my house were flooded. I didn’t get home from the lab until
midnight.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
18.
W: My boys are always complaining that they’re bored.
M: Why don’t you get them into some team sports? My son and daughter play soccer every
Saturday. And they both look forward to it all week.
Q: What does the man mean?
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
W: I don’t know what to do. I can’t seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my
complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it.
M: Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard?
W: Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to
replace it, but they are trying to cut costs.
M: You are pregnant, aren’t you?
W: Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department,
but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to

replace me than an X-ray equipment, I’m afraid to refuse to work. But I’m more afraid to
expose my unborn child to the radiation.
M: I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would
take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you
transferred may or may not be successful.
W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then?
M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal
laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But the
requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet.
W: Do you think I have a good case?
M: If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your
lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years.
Q19. What does the woman complain about?
Q20. What has the woman asked her supervisor to do?
Q21. What does the man say about the two federal laws?
Q22. What will the union do if the woman loses her job
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
W: Mr. Green, is it fair to say that negotiation is an art?
M: Well, I think it’s both an art and science. You can prepare for a negotiation quite
scientifically, but the execution of the negotiation has quite a lot to do with one’s artistic
quality. The scientific part of a negotiation is in determining your strategy. What do you want
out of it? What can you give? Then of course there are tactics. How do you go about it? Do you
take an opening position in a negotiation which differs from the eventual goal you are heading
for? And then of course there are the behavioral aspects.
W: What do you mean by the behavioral aspects?
M: Well, that’s I think where the art comes in. In your behavior, you can either be an actor.
You can pretend that you don’t like things which you are actually quite pleased about. Or you
can pretend to like things which you are quite happy to do without. Or you can be the honest
type negotiator who’s known to his partners in negotiation and always plays everything
straight. But the artistic part of negotiation I think has to do with responding immediately to
