Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. | W: Good afternoon. What can I do for you? |
M: I’m having a headache, perhaps from playing video games. Do you have any painkillers? | |
Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place? | |
2. | M: These new bags look very nice. How much are they? |
W: It was originally 60 pounds for each. But if you buy two, you will get one free. So I got three altogether. | |
Q: How much does each bag actually cost the woman? | |
3. | M: The door was left open, so the wind blew the vase off the table. |
W: That’s to say I punished Tom by mistake. | |
Q: What do we know about Tom? | |
4. | W: I didn’t know this is a one-way street. |
M: I’m sorry, but ignorance of the law is no excuse. | |
Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers? | |
5. | M: I hear that you are going to study in Brighton University next year, is that true? |
W: Yes. But I never expected that the university would offer me a full scholarship. | |
Q: What does the woman mean? | |
6. | W: How are you getting on with your paper? I’m having a real hard time with mine. |
M: After a couple of sleepless nights, I am finally done. | |
Q: What do we learn from the conversation? | |
7. | W: Hi, I have a map of the campus, but I still cannot find the building where the exhibit is. Would you please tell me how to get there? |
M: That looks like an old map. Follow me. I’m going that way myself. | |
Q: What is the man probably going to do? | |
8. | M: Did you notice that Susan was in low spirits this morning? |
W: Yes. If only Mrs. Brown had been more gentle to her students. | |
Q: What does the woman imply? | |
9. | M: Why are you leaving so early? The movie doesn’t start till seven. |
W: I don’t want to get stuck in a traffic jam. It’s terrible on the highway during rush hours. | |
Q: What does the woman mean? | |
10. | M: Then why do you decide to quit your present job? |
W: That’s because of the journey. It takes about two hours to the workplace. Your firm is within a walking distance. | |
Q: Why does the woman want to give up her present job? |
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passage. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
On a special Sunday night, millions of Americans are glued to their TVs, watching the Super Bowl, the most popular American football game of the year. They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move.
Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown. Then that team may win the game unexpectedly!
The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.
Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, commercial broadcast is also very expensive. Big money is also spent on the commercials. They draw the viewers’ attention and advertise their image or products during the commercial break.
Besides football, we have basketball and baseball. If you’re not a sports fan yet, come and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on. Sports are definitely a part of American culture one should not miss.
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
11. Why are Americans so fascinated with American football?
12. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the TV program of the Super Ball?
13. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
“We used to think that our fate was in our stars, but now we know that, to a large extent, our fate is in our genes,” said James Watson, a gene biologist. Scientists are seeing that gene therapy is reforming the treatment of disease.
Although much of the research is at the beginning stages, some successes point to the real benefit of the therapy. In Italy, doctors have recently treated one genetic disease with gene therapy. This disease most often begins to destroy the brain when children are between 1 and 2, stopping them from walking and talking. By inserting normal, healthy genetic material into a virus and then infecting the patients, scientists seem to be able to cure the disease. The children given the therapy are now in kindergarten and living normal lives.
Gene therapy has also seen used to help older patients. These people suffer from a disease that causes slow movement and uncontrollable shaking because part of the brain dies. Those treated with gene therapy showed a 23.1 percent improvement when tested six months later.
Gene therapy appears to be a more positive alternative to surgery or medicine. But more research is needed to assure its safety.
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
14. How do scientists use gene therapy to treat children with brain disease?
15. Which of the following statements about gene therapy is true?
16. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
Section C
Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Good morning, I’m calling for the secretary vacancy of your company in the paper yesterday.
M: Well, your name please?
W: Mary Smith.
M: Good. Mary, could you please tell me a little bit about yourself?
W: Yes. I’m 23. I went to the University of Leeds. I’ve got a master’s degree in English.
M: I see. Do you know any foreign languages?
W: Spanish.
M: And how well can you speak it?
W: Fluently, I would say.
M: All right. Can you come in and have an interview with us next Tuesday afternoon? Would you please leave us your phone number?
W: Oh, certainly, it’s 15007863429. Thank you very much. See you then. Goodbye.
M: Goodbye.
(Now listen again, please.)
Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.
Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
W: Oh, where are we going?
M: I want to show you something.
W: I know, but what is it?
M: A farm. It’s just down this road. It’s a small place, but at least it would be our own.
W: A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?
M: It isn’t very large, only 40 acres. We wouldn’t have to pay very much right now.
W: Is there a house on the place?
M: A small one with two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed a little. I can do the job myself.
W: Ok. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden?
M: There is about half an acre around the house. That’s plenty of space.
W: Then we can keep a few chickens. What are you thinking about growing on the farm, if we do
take this place?
M: Well, it really isn’t big enough for corn. I think we may grow potatoes and carrots.
W: That is a great idea. And I think we have enough money to get started. I do think positively of
your plan, honey.
M: Thank you so much!
(Now listen again, please.)
Complete the form. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
That’s the end of the Listening Comprehension.
