M: Television is undoubtedly a great invention, but one of the main criticisms of it is that people just aren't selective enough. W: I try and look at the programs that are on to decide which particular ones interest me, rather than you turning in on at seven o'clock and you leaving it on until half-past eleven when the programs finish. Q: What are they talking about? 2. W: Could you tell me something about pubs in Britain? M: Pubs in Britain are only open for certain hours during the day; in London they are open from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 6:00p.m. until 11:00 p.m. These hours can be slightly different in other parts of the country. Q: For how many hours are the pubs in London open during the day? 3. M: I brought about a hundred and fifty pounds' worth of travelers' cheque, just to get me started. W: Well, if you don't need it all at once, why not put some of it in deposit? Q: What does the woman suggest? 4. M: Ah, Sally! There are one of two things I'd like you to do for me this morning, I want you to phone the Carlton restaurant and book a table for lunch. W: I will take an English examination this morning and I'm really worried about it. Q: What does the woman imply? 5. W: I just wanted to have a few words with you about your performance in class lately. Your last three scores have been very disappointing. M: I know I've gone down. I just haven't been studying as much as I ought to. Q: What is the probable relationship between them? 6. M: I've had a headache all day, and my nose is stopped up. I can't breathe very well. W: You look terrible! You ought to go home and go to bed. You could be coming down with the flu or something. A lot of people in my office are sick. Q: What does the woman suggest? 7. M: Mary, I wish you'd asked me before you borrowed my dictionary. I wanted to look up a word in that dictionary, but I couldn't find it. W: I'm really sorry about that. Tom, I didn't think you'd mind. I borrowed it once before, remember? Q: What does the man imply? 8. W: I'm so upset, Gerald! I found out I didn't get the promotion I was hoping for. M: I simply can't believe it! I'm really sorry. I know how much you were counting on it. And if anyone deserved it, you did! Q: Why is the woman upset? 9. W: Ah, there's the dining room. What time is breakfast? M: The times are posted at the door of the restaurant. From six o'clock to nine o'clock. Lunch is from eleven to two and supper, six to eight. Q: What time is lunch? 10. W: Smoking should be prohibited, for the World Health Organization points out that diseases linked to smoking kill at least 2,500,000 people each year. M: Statistics show that passive smoking is causing 3,000 to 5,000 lung cancer deaths a year among American non-smokers. Q: How many people are killed by diseases linked to smoking? Section B Passage I One reason is that people become addicted to cigarettes. To be addicted means that your body comes to need them. The addicted substance in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker's body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too difficult to stop. Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social rituals, for example, the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives you something to do with your hands. Reaching for a cigarette, lighting it, flicking the ashes are especially comforting in situations where a person feels tense. Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have tried to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it hard to stop smoking but want to reduce the risk to their health. Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you just heard. 11. What is the substance in cigarettes that causes cancer? 12. What are health experts trying to do? 13. What is the best title for this passage? Passage II A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apple trees which he grew. One day, his friend gave the farmer a young tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree on one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. Finally he planted the tree in his woods where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died. Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. "What's the difference?" the farmer said angrily, "If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit." "Yes," said the friend, "but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you have robbed everyone of the fruit and you have also destroyed a good tree." Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you just heard. 14. What is the gift that the farmer's friend gave him? 15. Why did the tree die? 16. What is the best title for this passage? Passage III The Olympic Games were first held at Olympia in ancient Greece as long ago as 776 B.C. They were held once every four years. The custom lasted for more than 1,000 years, but died out under the rulers of Rome and ceased with the decline of ancient Greek civilization. Then in 1986 the Games were revived. In that year, a Frenchman, Baron de Coubertin, decided to try to start the Games again. He wished to renew those ideals of excellence of body, mind, and spirit shown in the classic Greek Olympics. He succeeded, and the modern Olympic Games began in Athens, Greece, in 1986. Since then the Olympics have grown steadily with more and more nations and athletes taking part. Because of the world wars, they were not held in 1916, nor in 1940 and 1944. They have been regularly held ever since then. Held every four years, the Olympics present the world's most important athletic contests. Athletes from all over the world take part in the modern Olympic Games. Any nation may enter a team in the games if it agrees to follow the rules of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Athletes of many nations compete in a variety of sports in a different city of the world. The 1980's Winter Olympic Games were held in Lake Placid, the United States. Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you just heard. 17. When was the Olympic Games first held? 18. When was the Games Revived? 19. Where did the modern Olympic Games begin in 1896? 20. Why were the Games not held in 1916, nor in 1940 and 1944?
