Part A
1. A: I was going to get something to eat at the cafeteria, but it seems to be closed.
B: Oh, that’s because it’s Sunday.

Why don’t you come with me to a place I know on Kennel Street?
What does the woman suggest they do?
2. A: How did the pictures at the Orientation come out? Did you get them back from the photo shop?
B: Actually, the film is still in the camera. I haven’t quite finished the roll.
Why can’t the woman see the picture?
3. A: Do you have a calculator that you could lend me for a few days? I just have no
idea where mine is.
B: Well, yes, I have one. But actually, it’s already on loan to someone.
What does the man mean?
4. A: I can’t seem to wake up in the morning without coffee at breakfast.
B: You know, I’m just like you, except that I prefer tea.
What does the man mean?
5. A: If the weather doesn’t get any better, we may have to scrap our plans for this afternoon’s picnic.
B: Don’t give up yet. The forecast said the clouds should clear up by next morning.
What does the man imply?
6. A: Do you think I could borrow your car to go glossary shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper than the one by the school. But they are so far away. I’d be happy to pick up anything you need.
B: Well, I don’t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what, why don’t we go together? That way I can learn the way?
What does the woman mean?
7. A: Do you mind if I take off my jacket?
B: Of course not, make yourself at home
What does the woman mean?
8. A: I have to fill out these forms. They are due at the financial aid office by tomorrow afternoon.
B: You were just complaining about how broke you are. If I were you, I’d make that my first priority.
What does the woman mean?
9. A: My hand still hurts from falling on the ice yesterday. I wonder if I broke something.
B: I’m no doctor, but it’s not black and blue or anything. Maybe you just need to rest it for a few days.
What does the man suggest the woman do?
10. A: Excuse me. Do you have any apartments available for under 500 dollars a month?
I need to move in next week when my new job starts.
B: The only vacant one I have is 600 dollars. Have you inquired at the apartment complex down the street?
What does the man suggest the woman do?
11. A: You know, Sally was supposed to meet us here an hour ago. Maybe we should
give her a ring. After all, she is the one who organized the study session.
B: You’re right. I’ll do.
What will the man probably do?
12. A: Forgive the mess in here. You see we had a party last night. There were a lot of
people. They all brought food and the leftovers are all over the place.
B: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it’s pretty obvious what you will be doing most of
today.
What does the woman imply?
13. A: I’m worried about my jewelry business. I really thought I’d do better.
B: At least you broke even. That’s better than most people do in their first year.
What can be inferred from the conversation?
14. A: I need to get in touch with Bill about tomorrow’s presentation. But his phone has been busy for the longest time.
B: I usually have dinner with him in the cafeteria. Why don’t I ask him to give you a call later?
What will the man probably do?
15. A: Care for some more dessert. There is plenty of cake left.
B: If I had any more, I’ll be overdoing it.
What does the woman mean?
16. A: This scarf is nice, but Debbie really wanted a sweeter for her birthday.
B: I know, but I didn’t know her size.
What can be inferred from the conversation?
17. A: Think you’ll be able to finish sketching up the plans for the election campaign by tomorrow or do you need some help?
B: Well, there is so quite a lot to do but I’ll be able to put everything together.
What does the woman mean?
18. A: About the concern tonight, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to pick you up before 7.
B: Well, we could just get together there instead?
What does the man suggest they do?
19. A: Oh, oh, I’ve burnt your toast. I’ll put in a couple of more slices.
B: No, don’t waste the bread. Just scrape off the burnt part, it will be fine.
What does the woman mean?
20. A: Weren’t you going to find out from the registrar if you have enough credits to
graduate next semester?
B: You’re right. I’d better get over there. Their hours are limited, and they can get
pretty busy.
What will the woman probably do?
21. A: I’m shocked that you managed to get an A on the test. You didn’t even read the textbook.
B: Now, you know why I never missed a lecture.
What does the woman imply?
22. A: That’s an awfully heavy sweater for a day like today.
B: Well, I’m going to be at a lecture in the auditorium most of this morning. And you know what the air-conditioning’s like in there.
What does the man imply?
23. A: I think I’ll get one of those new sweatshirts, you know, with the school’s emblem
on both the front and the back.
B: You may regret it. They are expensive and I’ve heard the printing really fades
when you wash them.
What does the man suggest the woman do?
24. A: The concert set a record for attendance.
B: I understand there wasn’t an empty seat in the house.
What can be inferred about the concert?
25. A: I really like those abstract paintings we saw in our history today. What did you think?
B: I guess it’s something I haven’t acquired a taste for yet.
What does the man mean?
26. A: I wonder if the entertainment committee has found the spot for the picnic yet.
B: I was just told they picked a space near a lake this year.
What does the woman imply?
27. A: What do think of this gallery space? They offer to let me exhibit some of my
paintings here.
B: Are you kidding? Any art student I know would die to have an exhibition here.
What does the woman mean?
28. A: How much more should I boil these vegetables? The recipe says about ten minutes total.
B: They look pretty done to me. I doubt you want to cook them any more.
What does the woman mean?
29. A: These shorts look a little too baggy, don’t they?
B: The shorts in all the stores we’ve been to fit like that. That’s the style these days.
What does the woman imply?
30. A: I love sailing on the lake. It’s so refreshing to feel the wind in my hair and the
water on my face.
B: I guess I would feel the same way if I could swim.
What can be inferred about the man?
