1. M: Mary, could you please tell Thomas to contact me? I was hoping he would be able to help me out with the freshmen orientation program next week.
W: I would certainly tell him if I saw him, but I haven't seen him around for quite a few days.
Q: What does the woman mean?
2. M: Susan, I am going to change the light bulb above the dining room table. Will you hold the ladder for me?
W: No problem. But be careful while you're up there.
Q: What does the man want the woman to do?
3. W: It's freezing cold. Let me make some coffee to warm us up. Do you want a piece of pie as well?
M: Coffee sounds great. But I'm going to have dinner with some friends in a while, so I'd better skip the pie.
Q: What does the man mean?
4. W: How come Jim lost his job?
M: I didn't say he had lost it. All I said was if he didn't get out and start selling a few cars instead of idling around all day, he might find himself looking for a new job.
Q: What does the man say about Jim?
5. M: Hello, Mary. This is Paul at the bank. Is Tony home?
W: Not yet. Paul. I don't think you can reach him at the office now, either. He phoned me five minutes ago to say he was stopping for a hair-cut on his way home.
Q: Who do you think the woman probably is?
6. W: Oh! Boy! I don't understand how you got a ticket today. I always thought you were slow even driving on the less crowded fast lane.
M: I'm usually careful. But this time I thought I could get through the intersection before the light turned.
Q: What do we learn about the man?
7. W: Your dog certainly seems to know you are his master. Did you have to punish him very often when you trained him?
M: I found it's much better to praise him when he obeys and not to be so fussy when he makes mistakes.
Q: What does the man say about training dogs?
8. M: I am afraid there won't be time to do another tooth today. Make sure you don't eat anything like stakes for the next few hours, and we'll fill the other cavity tomorrow.
W: All right. Actually, I must hurry to the library to return some books.
Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?
9. W: I am worried about Jenny going to college. College students are so wild nowadays.
M: Actually, only a few are like that. Most students are too busy studying to have time to cause trouble.
Q: What does the man imply?
10. W: You didn't seem to be terribly enthusiastic about the performance.
M: You must be kidding. I couldn't have clapped any harder. My hands are still hurting.
Q: What does the man think of the performance?
Section B
Passage 1
Born and raised in central Ohio, I'm a country girl through and through. I'm currently studying to become a physical therapist, a career path that marks a great achievement for me. At Ohio State University, admission into the physical therapy program is intensely competitive. I made it pass the first cut the first year I applied, but was turned down for admission. I was crushed, because for years I have been determined to become a physical therapist. I received advice from friends and relatives about changing my major and finding another course for my life. I just couldn't do it. I knew I could not be as happy in another profession. So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year and reapplied. Happily I received notice of my admission. Later, I found out that less than 15% of the applicant had been offered positions that year. Now in the first two years of professional training, I couldn't be happier with my decision not to give up on my dream. My father told me that if I wanted it badly enough, I would get in. Well, Daddy, I wanted it. So there. After graduation, I would like to travel to another country, possibly a Latin American country and work in a children's hospital for a year or two. So many of the children there are physically handicapped but most hospitals don't have the funding to hire trained staff to care for them properly. I would like to change that somehow.
