M: Oh my god! The heat is simply unbearable here. I wish we’ve gone to the beach instead.

W: Well, with the museums and restaurants in Washington I’ll be happy here no matter what the

temperature.

Q

：

What does the woman mean?

12.

M: How’s the new job going?

W: Well, I’m learning a lot of new things, but I wish the director would give me some feedback.

Q

：

What does the woman want to know?

13.

M: Can you help me work out a physical training program John?

Sure,

but

whatever

you

do

be careful

not

overdo

it.

Last

time

I

had

two weeks’ worth

of

weight-lifting in three days and I hurt myself.

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

14.

M: I have an elderly mother and I’m worried about her going on a plane. Is th

15.

M: Why didn’t you stop when we first signaled you at the crossroads?

W: Sorry, I was just a bit absent-minded. Anyway, do I have to pay a fine?

Q: what do we learn from the conversation?

fixed.

W: Y

ou’re right. And I suppose I’ve put it of

f long enough.

Q: What will the woman probably do?

17.

M: I did extremely well on the sale of my downtown apartment. Now, I have enough money to

W: Congratulations

！

Does that mean you

’

ll be moving soon?

Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

18.

W: My hand still hurts from the fall on the ice yesterday. I wonder if I broke something.

M: I’m no doctor, but it’s not black and blue or anything. May

be you just need to rest it for a few

days.

Q: what do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

M: Mrs. Dawson, thanks very much for coming down to the station. I just like to go over some of

the things that you told police officer Parmer at the bank.

W: All right.

M:

Well,

could

you

describe

the

man who

robbed

the

bank for

this

report

that we’re filling

out

here? Now, anything at all that you can remember would be extremely helpful to us.

W: Well, just, I can only remember basically what I said before.

M: That’s all right.

W: The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustache.

M: V

ery good. All right, did he have any other distinguishing marks?

W: Um, no, none that I can remember.

M: Do you remember how old he was by any chance?

W: Well, I guess around 30, maybe younger, give or take a few years.

M: Mm, all right. Do you remember anything about what he was wearing?

W: Yes, yes, he had on a dark sweater, a solid color.

M: OK. Um, anything else that strikes you at the moment?

W: I remember he was wearing a light shirt under the sweater. Y

es, yes.

M:

All right. Mrs. Dawson, I really appreciate what you’ve been through today. I’m just going to

ask you to look at some photographs before you leave if you don’t

mind. It won’t take very long.

Can you do that for me?

W: Oh, of course.

M: Would you like to step this way with me, please?

W: OK, sure.

M: Thank you.

W: Good morning, I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last night.

M: Well, could you tell me your name?

W: Candidate Foreset.

M: Oh yes. What exactly is it that interests you about the job?

W: Well, I thought it was just right for me.

M: Really? Um… Could you tell me a little about yourself?

W: Yes. I’m 23. I’ve been working abroad.

M: Where exactly have you been working?

W: In Geneva.

M: Oh, Geneva. And what were you doing there?

W: Secretarial work. Previous to that, I was at university.

M: Which university was that?

W: The University of Manchester. I’ve got a degree in English.

M: Y

ou said you’ve been working in Geneva. Do you have any special reason for wanting to come

back?

W: I thought it would be nice to be near to the family.

M: I see, and how do you see yourself developing in this job?

W:

Well,

I’m

ambitious.

I

do

hope

that

my

career

as

a secretary will

lead

me

eventually

into

management.

M: I see. Y

ou have foreign languages?

W: French and Italian.

M: Well, I think the best thing for you to do is do reply a writing to the advertisement.

W: Can’t I arrange for an interview now?

M: Well, I’m afraid we must wait until all the applications are in, in writing, and then decide on

the short list. If you are on the short list, of course we should see you.
