11．W：Come along now．Open your mouth．I can’t give you the injection with your mouth closed, can I?
M：I…I…I don’t want an injection．I hate needles．
Q：Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
12．M：This stew is delicious．I’d love to be able to make it myself．
W：Why not? You can get all the ingredients at any supermarket．Here, let me get a pencil and paper．
Q：What will the woman probably do next?
13．M：The basketball team is in the play-offs and I don’t have a ticket．I guess I’ll just watch it on TV．Do you want to come over?
W：Actually I have a ticket．but I’m not feeling welt．You can have it for what it cost me．
Q：What does the woman mean?
14．W：Have you finished the assignment given by Professor Smith? I don’t think you have much difficulty doing that experiment?
M：NO．but I didn’t expect it would take me most of the day．
Q：What does the man mean?
15．W：You don’t look smart this morning．I can see you’re not happy．Come on．what happened?
M：I had never expected this would have happened to me．We had a power failure at home last night and I missed most of the football match．
Q：What can we infer from the conversation?
16．W：Well，I do like this campus，all the big trees，the green lawns，and the old buildings with tall columns．It’s really beautiful．
M：It sure is．The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style．It was popular in the 18th century here．
Q：What are the speakers talking about?
17．W：When is Mike coming?
M：Well，he said he’d be here at half past six，but if you know him，it will be at least eight O’clock．
Q：What do we know about Mike?
18．M：Can we travel to New York together?
W：Certainly．I’ll pick you up at 2：00 and we should arrive in New York by 5：00 if the traffic isn’t too heavy．
Q：What means of transportation are the man and the woman using?
Now you’ll hear two long conversations．
Conversation One
M：Yael, what’s that in your hand?
W：Come on, Don. Haven’t you seen a cigarette before? Every day in the United States，about 1,500 girls begin smoking, and I figured, why not do my share?
M：But Yael, don’t you know that tobacco kills more than 140,000 women each year, and that half of those women are between the ages of thirty-five and sixty-nine?
W：Yeah．but that’s why I smoke a brand with low nicotine and tar content．
M：Although tobacco companies advertise some cigarettes as "light", this is just an advertising ploy to obscure the risks associated with smoking-smoking a light cigarette is just as risky as smoking a regular one．In fact，research shows that people who smoke light cigarettes actually smoke differently in order to get higher levels of nicotine．
W：I didn’t know that．
M：The one thing you can say about tobacco companies is that they are really savvy about marketin9．While tobacco ads that target men focus on cigarettes as macho or cool，tobacco ads that target women focus on social and political themes important to women． For example，ads will say that you’ve come a long way，or that you’ve found your voice，or encourage you to just be yourself, as if smoking has anything to do with progress and self-expression．Young women are especially vulnerable to these ads because addiction，disease，and premature death seem so remote to them．And the thing is，people who have smoked as few as one hundred cigarettes report having difficulty quitting．
W：S0．Don．can you pass me that ashtray?
M：With pleasure, Yael, as long as you put it out．

M: Hello.
W: Oh, hello. You must be a new student. Did you find it OK?
M: Well, I got a bit lost because I asked a stranger. But I got it eventually.
W: Oh. Dear, Have you come far today?
M: Only from Brighton. I was staying with my brother.
W: Oh. Good, How did you get here?
M: My brother took me to the railway station. And I got on a bus at this end.
W: Aha. Well, you’d better tell me your name so I can find your form.
M: It’s Mark Bum.
W: Burn, Bum. Ah, yes. Oh, you’ve changed since this photo. What happened to your beard and moustache? And not wearing glasses, either.
M: No, I thought I’d better look smarter.
W: Here is the key to your room. It’s 501.
