　　11. W: Look at the monkeys and zebras around the rocks.

　　M: Yes, their environment seems to suit them very well. Let’s go over and see the bears now.

　　Q: Where are the man and woman?

　　12. W: I promised my sister I would attend the show if I didn’t have work due the next day.

　　M: Why not take me along?

　　Q: Why will the woman go to the show?

　　13. M. I’d like to go sailing, but sometimes I get scared on the water. How long would we be out?

　　W: Not too long. And besides, we’ll be close to the shore the whole time.

　　Q: What is the man afraid of?

　　14. W: It’s nearly ten o’clock. Let’s listen to the weather forecast.

　　M: Here’s the weather forecast. Fog is spreading from the east and will affect all areas by midnight. It’ll be heavy in certain places.

　　Q: What is the weather forecast?

　　15. M: This cake’s delicious! Did you make it yourself?

　　W: You must be kidding! My sister got it from the bakery.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　16. W: I’m worried about those classes I missed when I was sick.

　　M: I’ll try to bring you up to date on what we’ve done.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　17. W: Roger, your voice teacher called to ask why you were not at practice for your concert program.

　　M: I was there but I was standing with a large group and he didn’t see me.

　　Q: Why did the teacher not see Roger at the practice?

　　18. M: The telegram just came from Mary. She will arrive at 2 o’clock.

　　W: Oh, good. She can rest a few hours before the concert.

　　Q: What can Mary do before the concert?

　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.

　　Conversation One

　　W: Could you tell me how big a class is?

　　M: In this department, a class could be as small as 5 students or as large as over 200. The largest classes are lecture classes, usually in introductory courses at the undergraduate level. The normal size of a class is 20 to 40 students who meet 3 times a week for about one hour or twice a week for about one hour and a half.

　　W: In what forms are classes given?

　　M: Generally speaking, classes are given in three formats---lectures, seminars and laboratory work. Lecture courses usually include two lecture sessions and one discussion group per week. Lectures are given by professors who will talk on specific topic for one class period. Students have little chance to ask questions. Discussions are conducted by postgraduates and provide the opportunity for questions about the lecture topics.

　　W: How about seminars?

　　M: Seminars involve a small group of students and place more responsibility on them. The professor leading a seminar may assign projects, post questions, make suggestions or describe specific cases that demand a solution. Students are free to exchange their ideas. The seminar challenges students’ reasoning and organizing abilities.

　　W: And laboratory work?

　　M: Laboratory work gives students opportunities to develop their skills with the use of certain tools or sophisticated lab equipment and to improve their lab techniques.

　　W: They all sound interesting to me. Do you know how we’re assessed?

　　M: Some professors give quizzes or short examinations during the course to test on a particular aspect of the subject. Other course examinations are mid-term exams and final exams, which include multiple-choice questions, short answer questions and essay questions. Research papers are another form of examination. Have I made myself clear to you?

　　W: Yes. I understand now. Thank you. Dr. Wilson.

　　M: You’re welcome.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. Which of the following is true of a big class?

　　20. What can be learnt from this dialogue about the course formats?

　　21. Which of the following is true about the professors’ evaluation of students’ work?

　　Conversation Two

　　M: Oh, hi, Maria, long time no see! How have you been?

　　W: Oh, not bad. And you?

　　M: Oh. I’m doing okay, but school has been really hard these days, and I haven’t had time to relax.

　　W: By the way, what’s your major anyway?

　　M: Hotel management.

　　W: Well, what do you want to do after you graduate?

　　M: Uh... I haven’t decided for sure, but I think I’d like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?

　　W: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed to computer science. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn’t be as difficult.

　　M: So do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?

　　W: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship that pays for all of my tuition and books.

　　M: Wow, that’s great.

　　W: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?

　　M: Yeah. I work three times a week all at a restaurant near campus.

　　W: Oh. What do you do there?

　　M: I’m a cook.

　　W: How do you like your job?

　　M: It’s okay. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn’t bad.

　　Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　22. What does the man want to do after he graduates?

　　23. Why did the woman change her major?

　　24. How does the woman pay for college?

　　25. What can be learnt about the man’s part-time job?
