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 centre.
Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
11. M：The biological project is now in trouble,
you know my colleague and I have completely different ideas
about how to proceed.
W：Why don't you compromise?
Try to make it a win-win situation for you both.
Q：What does the woman suggest the man do?
12. M：How does Nancy like the new dress she bought in Rome?
W：She said she would never have bought an Italian style dress
if she had known Mary had already got such a dress.
Q：What do we learn from the conversation?
13. M：You are not going to do all those dishes
before we leave, are you?
If we don't pick up George and Martha in 25 minutes
we will never get to the theater on time.
W：Oh, didn't I tell you,
Martha called to say her daughter was ill
and they could not go tonight.
Q：What is the woman probably going to do first?
14. M ：You've been hanging on to the phone for quite a while,
who were you talking with?
W：Oh, it was Sally, you know,
she always has the latest news in town
and can't wait to talk it over with me.
Q：What do we learn about Sally from the conversation?
15. W：It's always been hard to get this car into first gear,
and now the clutch seems to be slipping.
M：If you leave the car with me,
I will fix it for you this afternoon.
Q：Who is the woman probably speaking to?
16. M：Kate, why does the downtown area look deserted now?
W：Well, there used to be some really good stores,
but lots of them moved out to the mall.
Q：What do we learn from the conversation?
17. W: I find the lounge such a cozy place to study in.
I really like the feeling in sitting on the sofa
and doing the reading.
M: Well, for me the hardest part
about studying here is staying awake.
Q：What does the man mean?
18. W: These mosquito bites are killing me.
I can't help scratching.
M: Next time you go camping,
take some precaution,
say wearing long sleeves.
Q: Why does the man suggest the woman wear long sleeves?
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Hello, and welcome to our program “Working Abroad”.
Our guest this evening is a Londoner,
who lives and works in Italy.
Her name's Susan Hill.
Susan, welcome to the program.
You live in Florence,
how long have you been living there?
W: Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982,
I planned to stay for only 6 months.
M: Why did you change your mind?
W: Well, I'm a designer.
I design leather goods,
mainly shoes and handbags.
Soon after I arrived in Florence,
I got a job with one of Italy's top fashion houses, Ferregamo.
So, I decided to stay.
M: How lucky!
Do you still work for Ferregamo?
W: No, I've been a freelance designer
for quite a long time now.
Since 1988, in fact.
M: So does that mean you design
for several different companies now?
W: Yes, that's right.
I've designed many fashion items
for a number of Italian companies,
and during the last four years,
I've also been designing
for the British company, Burberrys.
M: What have you been designing for them?
W: Mostly handbags, and small leather goods.
M: Has the fashion industry in Italy changed since 1982?
W: Oh, yes.
It's become a lot more competitive.
Because of quality of products
from other countries has improved a lot.
But the Italian quality and design
is still world-famous.
M: And do you ever think of returning
to live in England?
W: No, not really.
Working in Italy is more interesting.
I also love the Mediterranean sun
and the Italian life style.
M: Well, thank you for talking to us, Susan.
W: It was a pleasure.
