11.
W: I just heard about a
really beautiful park in the east end of the town. There are a lot of roses in
bloom.
M: Why don’t we walk over
there and see for ourselves?
Q: What will the speakers
probably do?
12.
M: My presentation is
scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow morning at the lecture hall. I hope to see you
there.
W: Oh, sorry. I was about
to tell you that I have an appointment with my dentist at 9:00 o’clock
tomorrow.
Q: What do we learn about
the woman?
13.
W: How long have you been
running this company?
M: Twenty years if you can
believe that. I brought it from a small operation to what it is today.
Q: What do we learn about
the man?
14.
M: Have you read the news
on the campus net? Susan has won the scholarship for next year.
W: I knew she would from
the very beginning. Such a brilliant and diligent girl! She certainly deserves
it.
Q: What does the woman
mean?
15.
W: Taking a bus to Miami,
it’s cheaper than going by train.
M: That’s true. But I’d
rather pay a little more for the added comfort and convenience.
Q: What does the man
mean?
16.
M: I think it’s time we
got rid of all this old furniture.
W: You’re right. We need
to promote our image besides it’s not a real antique.
Q: What do the speakers
mean?
17.
M: That was some storm
yesterday. How was I afraid I couldn’t make it home.
W: Yeah, most of the roads
to my house were flooded. I didn’t get home from the lab until midnight.
Q: What do we learn from
the conversation?
18.
W: My boys are always
complaining that they’re bored.
M: Why don’t you get them
into some team sports? My son and daughter play soccer every Saturday. And they
both look forward to it all week.
Q: What does the man
mean?
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you
have just heard.
W: I don’t know what to
do. I can’t seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and
this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it.
M: Hmm, uh, are you trying
to say that it presents a health hazard?
W: Yes, I am. The head
technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace
it, but they are trying to cut costs.
M: You are pregnant,
aren’t you?
W: Yes, I am. I made an
effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged
me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to
replace me than an X-ray equipment, I’m afraid to refuse to work. But I’m more
afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation.
M: I see what you mean.
Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite
a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you
transferred may or may not be successful.
W: Oh, what am I supposed
to do then?
M: Workers have the legal
right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the
Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But
the requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet.
W: Do you think I have a
good case?
M: If you do lose your
job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost
income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years.
Q19. What does the woman
complain about?
Q20. What has the woman
asked her supervisor to do?
Q21. What does the man say
about the two federal laws?
Q22. What will the union
do if the woman loses her job
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
W: Mr. Green, is it fair
to say that negotiation is an art?
M: Well, I think it’s both
an art and science. You can prepare for a negotiation quite scientifically, but
the execution of the negotiation has quite a lot to do with one’s artistic
quality. The scientific part of a negotiation is in determining your strategy.
What do you want out of it? What can you give? Then of course there are tactics.
How do you go about it? Do you take an opening position in a negotiation which
differs from the eventual goal you are heading for? And then of course there are
the behavioral aspects.
W: What do you mean by the
behavioral aspects?
M: Well, that’s I think
where the art comes in. In your behavior, you can either be an actor. You can
pretend that you don’t like things which you are actually quite pleased about.
Or you can pretend to like things which you are quite happy to do without. Or
you can be the honest type negotiator who’s known to his partners in negotiation
and always plays everything straight. But the artistic part of negotiation I
think has to do with responding immediately to cues one gets in the process of
negotiation. These can be verbal cues or even body language. This is where the
artistic quality comes in.
W: So really, you see two
types of negotiator then, the actor or the honest one.
M: That’ right. And both
can work. I would say the honest negotiator can be quite effective in some
circumstances. In other circumstances you need an actor.
Q23. When is a scientific
approach best embodied in a negotiation according to the man?
Q24. In what way is a
negotiator like an actor according to the man?
Q25. What does the man say
about the two types of negotiator?
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short
passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the
passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question,
you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through
the center.
Passage 1
Questions 26 to 28 are
based on the passage you have just heard.
Since I started working
part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than
someone who buys something. To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails
entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping cart. One of the first things
customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to explain how so many
people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items or less, with
20, 25 or even a cart load of items. Customers also forget why they came to the
store in the first place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will
say, “Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you don’t mind
waiting while I go get it.” Five minutes later, he is back with the bread, a
bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. Strange as it seems, customers
also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries. Instead of
writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the
groceries, my customers will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise,
she says, “Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging
through her purse, she borrows my pen because she’s forgotten hers. But I have
to be tolerant of customers because they pay my salary, and that’s something I
can’t afford to forget.
Q26. What does the speaker
say about customers’ entering the grocery store?
Q27. Which customers are
supposed to be in the express line?
Q28. What does the speaker
say some customers do when they arrive at the check-out counter?
Q29. What does the speaker
say about his job at the end of the talk?
