11. M: Excuse me, can you please tell me how to get to the people’s bank of China?
W: Sure. Go straight for two blocks, then turn left and walk three more blocks until you get to the drugstore. It’s right across the street.
Q: How far must the man walk to get to the bank?
12. W: I’m crazy about the blue woolen sweater in the window. Could I see it, please?
M: We’re about to mark down all of our winter goods, including our jackets, suits, and woolen sweaters in several colors. Why don’t you wait until Friday?
Q: What does the man suggest that the woman do?
13. W: Did you hear that the neighborhood convenience store was held up last night?
M: Yes, I heard it on the radio this morning.
Q: What happened at the convenience store last night?
14. W: Don’t wolf down your lunch. It’s not good for you.
M: Ok, mom, but the boys will be here any minute, and I don’t want to miss the game.
Q: What did the woman ask her son not to do?
15. W: This is Mrs. Jones. My heater is not getting any power and the temperature is going to get down below freezing. Could you come over and fix it?
M: This is our busiest time of the year, but I will speak to one of our men about getting over there sometime today.
Q: Who has Mrs. Jones called to come over?
16. M: Did you hear Eva’s presentation in the meeting last night?
W: How she could be so calm in front of such a large audience is really beyond me.
Q: What does the woman imply?
17. M: You know I’m not too sure if the new salary will be high enough or if even the new position is really what I want. Besides, I like the work that I’m doing now.
W: It sounds as though you’ve already made up your mind about what you are going to do.
Q: What is the man thinking about?
18. W: I’m getting absolutely nowhere with these physics problems.
M: How about my going through them with you?
Q: What does the man mean?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Excuse me, I understand that this office helps students with housing. Is that right?
W: Are you a student in the intensive English program? May I see your ID card? Um, yes, we can certainly help you. Where are you staying now?
M: I just arrived yesterday. I’m staying at the hotel across the street.
W: Okay, please complete this form. Will you be living alone or do you have a family with you? Or, would you be interested in sharing housing?
M: Yes, I have a wife and child. They aren’t here yet, but they’ll be coming as soon as I am settled in. My daughter is 4.
W: We have two choices available. This two-bedroom is two blocks from campus, but it doesn’t have central heat and air. There is a slot in the wall for a unit air conditioner if you want one. It’s $ 500 a month. Then, for $ 650 a month, there is this one. It’s in a modern apartment complex, about 10 minutes from the university by bicycle, but it’s closer to shopping, a movie theater, and other things. And the complex has a swimming pool and laundromat(自助洗衣店).
M: Could I see them both? I’m not sure which I would want at the moment. Sure I’d love to be closer to school, but my wife and daughter would probably like the benefits of the other one.
W: Sure. We can go right now if you would like.
