Listening Comprehension

Section A

Directions:  In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

1. M: Excuse me, how much is this black T-shirt?

  W: $ 20 each. You can get a 50 % discount for the second one.

  Q: How much should the man pay if he buys two black T-shirts?

2. W: Be quiet, please. I am working on my composition. I need to be focused.

M: Oh, sorry. I thought you would love to listen to some light music when you're doing that.

Q: What will the man probably do?

3. M: John talked quite a lot with different guests at the party.

  W: He is the person who likes to make new friends.

  Q: What do we know about John?

4. W: How do you like your coffee? With sugar and milk?

M: No sugar for me, thanks. I’m watching my weight.

  Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

5. M: If  the traffic hadn’t been so bad, I could have been home by 6:00.

  W: What a pity! Jessica was here to see you.

  Q: What happened to the man?

6. W: How’s your new job going, Jim?

M: It’s very exciting and I’m really learning a lot. But it’s also quite demanding. I feel like a good break this weekend.

Q: What will the man probably do this weekend?

7. W: Do you think the living room needs new wallpaper? I don’t like this gray one. It’s too dull.

M: We could brighten it up a little. We can also buy some new furniture, and this carpet has got to go.

Q:  What are the speakers mainly talking about?

8. W: I see the Student Union is holding an election next week for a new president. How about putting your name forward?

M: It’s good that you ask. I’m kind of fully occupied with my paper right now. Thanks for thinking I could do it.

Q: Why does the man decline the election?

9. W: So, what did you get me for my birthday? Wait! Don’t tell me you have forgotten.

M: Of course not. Give me a little credit. I’m not that forgetful. I just don’t want to ruin the surprise.

Q: What does the man mean?

10.  M: I can hardly complete my research paper before the due time. There’re four more topics to be covered.

W: Wouldn’t it be better if you rewrote your outline and focused on one specific topic?

Q: What does the woman imply the man should do?

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

       Welcome to my review channel. Don’t forget to click on the thumbs up icon if you like my video reviews. Today I’m going to be reviewing a brand-new TV:  E series 9000. I’ve had it for about a week now and I just want to tell you a few things about it and give you my opinion. Now, amazingly enough, you don’t need to use a remote to operate this TV—you just need to wave your hand to change the channel, the volume and that kind of thing. It’s a great feature, but to be perfectly honest, I don’t use it. I mean, imagine if someone walked into the room while I was waving at my TV; they’d think I was crazy! So, I just use the normal remote and I’m glad to say that they include one with the package. And here it is—just looks like a normal remote, really. Lots of buttons that you’ll never use. Anyway, let’s talk about the quality of the image and the sound. Those are the really important things, right? I’m going to turn it on and, all being well, it’s going to work. There! Now, to tell the truth, the sound quality is not the best in the world, but it’s not the worst either and, actually, I think that given the price, it’s fine. The image quality, however, is fantastic. The colors are lively and, quite frankly, it’s got one of the best pictures I’ve ever seen, certainly at this price point.

(Listen again, please.)

Questions

11. Which of the following is true about the TV?

12. What does the speaker think of the image quality?

13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

People often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings on the first night, which is known as the first-night effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.

To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university's Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. On the first night only, the left part of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right part did. It is indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment. This finding proved the previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining watchful enough to avoid enemies.

14. What does the first-night effect refer to?

15. What happens to people on the first night in a strange surrounding?

16. What is the speech mainly about?

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

M: So how are your New Year’s Resolutions going then, Hannah?

W: Mm … well, quite positive. I’ve started working with a personal trainer!

M: Wow! What made you decide to do that?

W: I just suddenly decided. I’m always starting going to the gym and then not keeping it up, so I decided I needed to try something new, having someone to supervise me.

M: But you’re not overweight—I don’t know why you’re so worried.

W: Yeah, but I’m totally unfit, I mean. I can’t even  catch the bus and I kind of need to train my muscles.

M: And is it good?

W: Well, I’ve only been there three times so far, but, yes, it’s better than I expected, actually. The trainer, Adam, is really nice and he looks at your overall fitness and tells you where you need to develop strength before you can build up your fitness more. So, um, for example, I stand on my feet in a bit of a funny way and so I have to do special ankle-strengthening exercises to improve the way I stand; and that will help me to be able to move better and get fitter.

M: Sounds cool to get that kind of personalized advice.

W: That’s true. He’s very, very encouraging and the targets he sets are quite suitable for me and they are not difficult to complete, so you don’t get demotivated. The exercises are really varied and you have to do them quickly one after another, moving really quickly from one equipment to the other.

M: Oh well, good for you! Let me know how it goes.

(Listen again, please.)
