Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: So, have you found a job yet?
M: No, but, I have a few leads, so things are looking up.
W: What kind of job are you looking for?
M: Actually, I want to work for a Web hosting company.
W: What would you do there exactly?
M: Well, [19]I'd like to work in technical support, you know, helping customers resolve computer-related problems with their sites. And you know I'm a good communicator.
W: So, how's the pay for that sort of job?
M: Well, most people I know start out with a very reasonable salary; you can earn pay increases depending on your performance.
W: So, what about benefits?
M: Oh, the benefits are pretty good. They provide health insurance, two weeks of paid vacation a year, and opportunities for advancement.
W: Well, is there long-term job security in a job like that?
M: Uhh. [20]That's hard to tell. I mean, the Internet is booming, and these kinds of companies are sprouting up everywhere, which is a good thing, [20]but just like the dot-com era, you never know how long things will last.
W: Well, have you ever thought about going back to school to improve your job skills?
M: What are you suggesting?
W: You know, [21]you did drop out of college.
M: I know, I know, but I don't know. I'm just seeing my current job at McDonalds as a step up. I don't have the resources at the moment to do that; however, the job I am looking at will pay for some classes after I have been with the company for six months.
W: Well, it looks like you have things planned out this time.
M: If I last that long.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. In which field is the man desiring a job?
正確答案：C
解析：聽到女士問及相關(guān)信息時，注意男士的回答，男士說他想做technical support的工作，故答案為C。
20. What's the future of the Internet industry according to the man?
正確答案：A
女士問及security方面的信息時，男士回答：“很難說。因特網(wǎng)發(fā)展很快……但就像互聯(lián)網(wǎng)業(yè)務(wù)時代一樣，不知道情況能持續(xù)多久。”同義概括為A。
21. What do we learn from the conversation about the man's educational background?
正確答案：B
解析：四個選項都是關(guān)于He的學(xué)業(yè)狀況，聽時要留意。女士問男士“你有沒有想過回學(xué)校？”后來還揭了男士的底：you did drop out of college。可見男士沒讀完大學(xué)，但中學(xué)畢業(yè)后也經(jīng)受過一定的高等教育。所以B正確。
