[00:01.42]Conversation One
[00:03.05]M: I have been studying too much and need a change.
[00:06.78]So I've just made plans to go away during the January break.
[00:10.94]W: Really? Where are you going?
[00:13.01]M: I'm planning to visit New Mexico.
[00:15.53]W: My sister and I vacationed there last year
[00:18.27]and we had a great time.
[00:20.45]M: Did you get into Albuquerque?
[00:22.64]W: Sure. Whenever we weren't skiing.
[00:24.72]M: Is it far from the mountains?
[00:26.69]W: Not at all. See,
[00:28.01]even though Albuquerque is on a high flat plateau,
[00:31.06]there are even higher mountains near it.
[00:33.80]Just half an hour away from the city there are snow-covered slopes.
[00:38.28]M: Well. As the mountains are just thirty minutes away,
[00:41.79]I guess I should take my ice skates and my skis.
[00:44.96]W: Definitely.
[00:46.16]M: I heard that the weather there is great.
[00:49.12]W: It is. No humidity, moderate temperatures,
[00:52.18]but you do need to be careful about the high altitude.
[00:55.25]M: What should I do about that?
[00:57.43]W: Oh, just take it easy for a few days.
[00:59.73]Don't go hiking up the mountains or exercise too vigorously.
[01:03.78]Just do everything gradually.
[01:05.97]M: I'm sure I will be fine.
[01:07.93]And I will let you know all about my trip when I come back.
[01:11.22]Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[01:18.32]1. Why does the woman know so much about Albuquerque?
[01:42.18]2. What can be inferred about the man?
[02:03.16]3. According to the woman,
[02:05.25]what may cause the man the most problems in the Albuquerque?
[02:25.88]Conversation Two
[02:27.59]M: Hi, Sally. This is Phil.
[02:30.55]W: Great to hear from you, Phil.
[02:32.08]How have you been doing?
[02:33.17]M: To tell the truth,
[02:34.60]I'm very worried about our final examination next month.
[02:37.77]For one thing, I can't sleep.
[02:40.06]W: I sympathize. I went through the same thing last year.
[02:44.22]M: That's exactly why I'm calling you.
[02:46.96]Do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety?
[02:50.57]You know how I hate exams.
[02:52.87]W: Well, last year the university offered a stress management course
[02:57.13]at about this time.
[02:58.23]Have you been in contact with the student help services?
[03:01.40]M: No.I haven't had time.
[03:03.48]W: Funny, isn't it?
[03:04.79]Just when students need help most we can't afford time to get it.
[03:08.62]M: Well,perhaps I should find out more about this stress management course
[03:12.56]since I've got to get better.
[03:14.20]W: I suggest you call the health services tomorrow.
[03:16.50]They open at 9 a.m.
[03:18.19]M: Thanks, Sally.
[03:19.17]I'll let you know how it goes.
[03:20.52]W: Best of luck. And have a good night's sleep.
[03:23.15]M: That's easier said than done.
[03:25.12]Questions 4 to 6 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[03:32.35]4. Why is Phil worried?
[03:54.26]5. Why does Phil turn to Sally for advice?
[04:16.42]6. What does the university offer to students in Phil's condition?
[04:36.79]Conversation Three
[04:39.74]M: Did you take these pictures?
[04:41.60]They are very good.
[04:42.91]W: Yes,I think they turned out well too.
[04:45.65]I like to take my camera with me wherever I go.
[04:48.59]That way,if I see something interesting,
[04:51.00]I can snap a picture of it.
[04:52.75]M: Carrying a big camera around is too much trouble for me.
[04:56.14]W: My camera is really small,
[04:57.78]though.Here let me show you.
[04:59.76]M: That is a compact camera,
[05:01.72]but you really must know a lot about photography
[05:04.35]to get such professional looking results.
[05:06.76]W: Not necessarily.
[05:07.85]This camera is simple to operate.
[05:10.04]M: Does this model come with flash attachment for indoor shots?
[05:14.20]W: Better than that!
[05:15.84]It has a built-in electronic flash and an automatic focus too.
[05:20.21]I don't even have to worry about focusing.
[05:22.95]M: That's what I need.
[05:24.69]When I take pictures they usually come out blurry
[05:27.97]because I don't adjust the lenses properly
[05:30.05]and I hate photos that are out of focus.
[05:32.24]Is a camera like yours very expensive?
[05:34.97]W: Less than you'd expect.
[05:36.40]Why don't you check the prices at Hatfield's down the street.
[05:39.67]This model was on sale there last week.
[05:42.08]M: I think I will,it certainly won't hurt to take a look.
[05:45.80]Questions 7 to 9 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[05:52.14]7. As the conversation begins, what are the man and the woman doing?
[06:17.60]8. What is the major advantage of her camera,according to the woman?
[06:37.33]9. What is the man probably going to do after the conversation?
[07:02.52]Conversation Four
[07:04.16]W: Can I help you?
[07:06.67]M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve
[07:10.83]in the library for Anthropology 311.
[07:14.00]W: Professor Gill's class?
[07:15.86]M: That's right. How could you know?
[07:18.05]W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles.
[07:23.41]M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet,
[07:27.24]it doesn't really matter which one you give me first.
[07:29.76]W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment.
[07:32.93]They've all been checked out.
[07:34.79]M: Youre kidding, all of them?
[07:36.54]W: Every last one.
[07:37.85]I've asked Professor Gill twice already
[07:41.35]to bring in additional copies of the articles,
[07:43.76]but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone.
[07:47.48]See that girl in the black sweater?
[07:49.32]She's been waiting for half an hour for these same articles to be returned.
[07:54.02]M: And here I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read.
[07:58.84]W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it.
[08:02.77]All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again,
[08:07.92]We open at eight.
[08:09.23]Questions 10 to 13 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
