W:Section I Listening Comprehension
Directions:
This section is designed to test your ability to understand
spoken English. You will hear a selection of recorded masterials
and you must answer the questions that accompany them. There
are three parts in this section, Part A, Part B and Part C.
Remember, while you are doing the test, you should first put
down your answers in your test booklet. At the end of the listening
comprehension section, you will have 5 minutes to transfer all
your answers from your test booklet to ANSWER SHEET 1.
If you have any questions, you may raise your hand NOW as you
will not be allowed to speak once the test has started.
[Pause 00'20"]
Now look at Part A in your test booklet.
Part A
Directions:
You will hear a conversation in which a woman is asking for
tourist information about Sudeley Castle and Snowshill Manor.
Listen to it and fill out the table with the information you've
heard for questions 1-5. Some of the information has been given
to you in the table. Write only 1 word in each numbered box.
You will heard the recording twice. You now have 25 seconds
to read the table below.
[Pause 00'25"]
[Tone]
M: Good morning, Can I help you?
W: Yes, good morning, I've just got a few questions, I wonder
if you can help me sort them out. M: I'll see what I can do.
W: Can you tell me when Sudeley Castle, Sudeley? We want to
go there this morning.
M: Yes,of course. Sudeley Castle, Sudeley, I think it's open
all day, someone asked me this a week or so ago. Here we are,
I've got the guide, yes, it's open from 11 in the morning until
5 in the afternoon, well not quite all day, but morning and
afternoon.
W: Eleven to five, OK, that's great. Er, can you tell me how
much it costs to get in?
M: Yes, it costs ￡4.50 fot adults and ￡3.00 for children. It
sounds a bit expensive but there's a lot to do there. I think
it's worth the money.
W: OK, now another question: what exactly is Snowshill Manor?
What can you see there?
M: Oh, it's a museum, an absolutely fascinating collection of
all sorts of things, like clocks and cabinets, and all kinds
of swords and masks.
W: Masks? Well, the kids will like them. Do you pay to get into
this museum?
M: Yes, you do, I think it's about three pounds fifty.
W: Is it open this time of year?
M: Yes, it's open until the end of September, so there are a
few weeks before it closes.
W: Right, we'll try it. Thank you very much for the information.
M: Enjoy your visit. Good-bye.
[Pause 00'30"]
W: Now you will hear the recording again.
[The recording is repeated.]
[Pause 00'20"]
W:That is the end of Part A.
M: Part B
Directions:
You will hear a radio weather forecast. For questiong 6-10,
complete the sentences and answer the question while you listen.
Use not more than 3 words for each answer. You will hear the
recording twice. You now have 25 seconds to read the sentences
and the question below.
[Pause 00'25"]
[Tone]
W: Hello. It's been another warm and fine day for most of us.
Temperatures in south-east England reached twenty-six degrees
Centigrade by mid-afternoon, and Brighton had fifteen hours
of lovely sunshine. But already the weather is beginning to
change. I'm afraid, and during the night showers will slowly
move in from the Atlantic to reach south-west England by early
morning.
The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with
minimum temperatures no lower than fifteen degrees in the south,
a little cooler--eleven degrees or so--in the north. Any remaining
showers in northwest Scotland will pass quickly, to leave a
mild, dry night there too.
And now, let's moveon to the weather forecast for Friday and
the weekend. Well, southern Europe will once again get the best
of the weekend weather, and if your holiday starts this weekend,
then southern Spain is the place to go, with temperatures of
thirty-four degrees along the Mediterranean coast. At the eastern
end of the Med, too, you can expect uninterrupted sunshine and
temperatures of up to thirty-two degrees Centigrade in Greece
and south-east Italy, but furthernorth the weather's not so
settled. Much of France, Belgium and the Netherlands will be
cloudy with occasional rain and maximum temperatures will be
around twenty-two degrees--very disappointing for this time
of the year.
Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much
of the weekend and temperatures will drop to a cool seventeen
degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but
mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out
temperatures could rise to a maximum of twenty-three degrees...[fade

[Pause 00'50"]
M: Now you will hear the recording again.
[The recording is repeated.]
[Pause 00'30"]
W: That is the end of Part B.
W: Part C
Directions:
You will hear three pieces of recorded material. Before listening
to each one, you will have time to read the questions related
to it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A,
B, C or D. After listening, you will have time to check your
answers. You will hear each piece once only.
Questions 11-13 are based on the following talk introducing
Emily Dickinson, a well-known American poet. You now have 15
seconds to read questions 11-13.
[Pause 00'15"]
[Tone]
M: Emily Dickinson if one of the greatest American poets. She
was born in a typical New England village in Massachusetts on
December 10, 1830. She was the second child of the family. She
died in the same house fifty-six years later. During her life
time she never left her native land. She left her home state
only once. She left her village very few times. And after 1872
she rarely left her house and yard. In the last years of her
life she retreated to a smaller and circle of family and friends.
In those later years she dressed in white, avoided strangers,
and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates.
The doctor who attended her illness was allowed to "examine"
her in another room, seeing her walk by an opened door. She
was thought of as a "strange" figure in her home village. When
she died on May 15, 1886, she was unknown to the rest of the
world. Only seven of her poems had appeared in print.
But to think Emily Dickinson only as a strange figure is a
serious mistake. She lived simply and deliberately. She faced
the essential facts of life. According to Henry James, a famous
American novelist, she was one of those on whom nothing was
lost. Only by thus living could Dickinson manage both to fulfill
her obligations as a daughter, a sister, and a housekeeper and
to write on the average one poem a day.
She read only a few books but knew them deeply. Her poems
are simple but remarkably rich. Not until 1950s was she recognized
as one of the greatest American poets.
W: You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Questions
11-13.
[Pause 00'30"]
M: Questions 14-16 are based on the following radio program.
You now have 15 seconds to read questions 14-16.
[Pause 00'15"]
[Tone]
W: Good evening. You are listening to Pop World of BCD International.
I'm Susan Welch. Today, we are going to hear several current
hits of the world's most popular artists.
Well, first, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners
who are not very familiar with this program.
Since many people want to listen to and understand pop songs,
radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs
over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the
music world, but we also have a vast library of "golden oldie"
classics, as well as the "latest releases".
For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite
music--there's The History of Pop or The Road to Music. These
two series bring you the language of pop music and information
about the periods and the artists.
If you want to hear from the artists themselves, there's a
new series called About the Big Hits. This is based on interviews
with popular singers and songwriters. They talk to us about
the meaning and ideas behind their songs.
If you want to understand the words to the big music hits,
Pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough
for native English speskers to understand most pop songs - so,
if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised
if the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to
address exactly this problem that BCD International started
broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago... [fade out]
M: You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Questions
14-16.
[Pause 00'30"]
W: Questions 17-20 are based on a conversation between Dr. Francis
and Li Ming about Li Ming's planned visit to Cambridge. You
now have 20 seconds to read questions 17-20.
[Pause 00'20"]
[Tone]
[Knocks on the door]
M: Oh, hello, Li Ming. Come on in, and how've you been keeping
recently?
W: Quite all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How's your project
going?
M: Very smoothly, I should say. I'm playing a consultancy role,
really. I've only been here in China a month, but I'm already
on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer
Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Do sit down. please.
W: Dr. Francis, do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge
in August? I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.
M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Erm,
in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well, ... yes, I'm
sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want
to know, Li Ming?
W: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there?
M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees Centigrade,
on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25,
I would guess, because it's down south.
W: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here? Last year it
reached 39. By the way, Where do you think I should stay?
M: Oh,that's important. You can, er, ... I suppose, stay in
the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have
your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly
be convenient.
W: Yes, it would.
M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense,
separated from ordinary society. You're a language teacher,
and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.
W: Yes, yes, ecactly, so what's the alternative?
M: Maybe finding an English host family. I know of a student
Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learnt a lot
by staying with a British family.
W: Thank you, I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way,
Dr. Francis, do you think I could ...? [fade out]
M: You now have 40 seconds to check your answers to Qusetions
17-20.
[Pause 00'40"]
That is the end of Part C.
You now have five minutes to transfer all your answers from
your test booklet to ANSWER SHEET 1.
