　　Part III Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause.

　　During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.

　　11. M: Where should I change and leave my clothes?

　　W: There is a locker room right past the information desk and main exercise room.

　　Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

　　12. W: I really don’t see why football players get such high salaries.

　　M: Neither do I. After all, how much work do they do? A couple of hours a week?

　　Q: What can you infer from this conversation?

　　13. W: I don’t think you quite appreciate the way we do things here. You are, if I may say so, a stranger.

　　M: Thank you, but it’s by no means my first trip to the Middle East.

　　Q: What have you learned about the man?

　　14. W: Would you prefer to stay in a house or an apartment?

　　M: My wife would rather stay in a house, but actually I prefer an apartment. Then I don’t have to worry about looking after a garden.

　　Q: Why does the man prefer an apartment to a house?

　　15. W: While the children are at the movie, I think I’ll drop into Drake’s Department store and do a little shopping.

　　M: Good idea. While you’re there, will you pick up a couple of white shirts for me, and I need some cigarettes, too.

　　Q: What is the woman going to buy for herself?

　　16. M: Since you don’t like your boss, why are you still hanging around him?

　　W: I’m not. I’m going to stop hanging around and quit.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　17. W: Dr. Richards wants you to confirm his appointment on the 28th in the morning.

　　M: Yes, that’s OK. Can you wire him?

　　Q: What does the man ask the woman to do?

　　18. W: When I was in Mexico, I was surprised at what real Mexican food is like. It is so different from what the restaurants serve here.

　　M: When I was in Italy, the same thing happened to me, too.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
