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. M: Hello, Mary. This is John at the office. Is Tom feeling any better today?
W: Oh, yes, John. He’s feeling much better now. But the doctor says he will have to stay in bed until Monday.
Q: Where is Tom now?

2. W：Freedom Travel. May I help you?
  M：Yes, I’d like to make a flight reservation for the twenty third of this month.
Q: Who is the man most probably talking to?

3. M: I wonder if Jack will come here by 11 o’clock.    
  W: His wife said he left home at 10:30, so he should be here at 11:20 at the latest.    
  Q: What time did Jack leave home?   

4. M: I'm frustrated. We're supposed to do our assignment on the computer, but I have difficulty getting access to the computers in the library.
W: I understand the way you feel. I'm looking forward to the day when I can afford to get my own.
　Q: What does the woman mean?  

5. M: The famous professor is speaking tonight, but Dr. Johnson doesn't seem to think much of him.   
　W: That's because Dr. Johnson comes from an entirely different school of thought.   
　Q: What do we learn from the woman's remark?  

6. M: Are you telling me you don't have a housekeeper?

　Q: What do we learn from this conversation?

　M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.
Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

9. M: I wish I hadn’t thrown away that reading list!

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

10. M: I haven’t got my scores on the important test yet. Do you think I should call to make inquiries?    
  W: There’s no hurry. The test scores are released at least 8 weeks after the test.    
  Q: What does the woman advise the man to do?    
　　
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. 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.

    A couple of months ago, I went to a department store to buy a few things for the house. I needed a set of curtains for the living room, two table lamps, a rug and several cushions. I asked them to deliver the things as soon as possible, but they said that they were unable to send them out until 20 days later. After about 3 weeks, I received only the curtains and table lamps. I was a little disappointed when I didn`t receive all the items I had bought. But nevertheless, I was eager to see what the curtains and lamps looked like. I first opened the package with the curtains. I had bought a lovely light blue, and instead they had sent me a horrible dark purple. Well, you can just imagine how angry I was. Then I opened the boxes with the lamps. They were exactly what I’d ordered. But one of the lamp shapes was damaged. The next thing I did was to telephone them to complain. They promised to come to pick them up immediately and also to replace them with the correct order. It has been two weeks since my complaint. They have neither picked up the wrong items nor sent me the rest of my order.
(Now listen again, please)

Questions 
11. When did the woman want the store to deliver the items?
12. Was the woman pleased when she saw the items they had delivered?
13. What happened in the end?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.
     Some people dream of being President of the United States. Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. But, could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to Peter Johnson.
    Peter was an auto mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him put the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one pressed an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did the allow him to get away with it?
    Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the union Trust bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.
    As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was $ 5,000 richer.

Questions     
14. Why did Peter go to the Union Trust bank? 
15. What did the guards do when Peter stared gathering the money? 
16. Why didn’t Peter take more money from the bank?

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
M：Well, Shirley, now that we’ve seen the three apartments, which one do you like best?
W：I don’t know, Bred. I know one thing. I didn’t like the one on the 68th Street.
M：Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 72nd Street one and the 80th Street one.
W：The one on the 80th Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.
M: Yes, and I like the carpet in the hall. It was clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.
W：That’s true. You could always just put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom was too small.
M：Right. And I need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by nosy visitors.
W：Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors. But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It’s a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72nd Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.
M：Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I didn’t like about that place was the west window. I gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.
W：Didn’t you notice the air-conditioner?
M：No, was there one?
W：Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.
M：That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.
W：Yes, I think that apartment is best for our needs. There’s good parking. And there’s semiprivate area for your desk.
M：OK. Let’s take that one.

(Now listen again, please)

Complete the form. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

That’s the end of the listening comprehension.
