11.M: I need a DVD-player, but I don’t know where to buy them in this town.
W:As I was telling you, in our town where you shop depends largely on what you need. If you want a DVD-player, your best bet would probably be the store at the end of Shake Street.
Q: What can be inferred from the conversation ?
12.M: Excuse me. Are the frozen foods on special today ?
W: Yes, they’re a bargain today, and so is the dairy section.
Q: Where are the two speakers ?
13.M:I bet our team wil win the game. We’re already four scores ahead of the other team.
W:You can never tell. It’s still a bird in the bush.
Q:What does the woman mean ?
14.M:So many people applied for this job… I’ve made a list of six who are good possibilities. We should call them in for an interview. Will next Wednesday do ?
W:Next Wednesday, all right.
Q:Who are the two speaker talking about ?
15.M: Julia, your work is too messy!
W:I’ll pay attention to my handwriting next time. By the way, will I have to take a make-up exam next week ?
Q:Who is the man most probably speaking to ?
16.M:Excuse me, I’m afraid you came to the wrong table. This is not what I ordered. I ordered salad, but you brought me ice-cream.
W:I’m very sorry, I made a mistake.
Q:What does the man complain about ?
17.M:John’s business is on the rocks, and he’s very upset about it. Shall we go and cheer him up ? He needs someone to advise him.
W:Mind you own business ! He doesn’t need your advice at this moment, and he doesn’t want to see anyone.
Q:What are the speakers probably going to do ?
18.M:I have to admit you have a beautiful garden. How do you do it ? You must have hired a gardener.
W:No,I’d never do that. Working in the garden is the greatest form of relaxation that I know of !You’re got to love working in the garden―that’s my serect !
Q:Why does the woman have a beautiful garden ?
Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W:What did you think about the movie ?
M:Well… I think Harry Potter Ⅴ is an excellent piece of work . But not as good as the previous ones.
W:Really ? I don’t agree. I think it was incredible !
M:Why do you think so ?
W:Well, one of the most spectacular things about it is the special effects.
M:You’re right. The special effects created so many fantastic settings and mysterious costumes,
weapons and creatures. The sprecial effects are the main reason for the success of this movie.
W:It’s kind of cool that they still use the themes song for this movie.
M:Yearh! It reminds me of the previous scenes.
W:I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me feel homesick.
M:I thought the overall plot of the movie was very interesting. But I don’t think the character development was that strong .They just don’t have a lot of funny or meaningful dialogues.The writing was a little boring and this may be the only one weakness of this movie.
