Each conversation will be read only once. A t the end of each conversation, there will be a fifteen-second pause. During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre. 1. M: Miss Wright? Did you speak to Mr Hudson? W: Yes, I did. I asked him to ring later. He says he蒺ll ring you this afternoon. M: That蒺s fine. Has Chris photocopied that report yet? W: Not yet, but I told him to do it immediately. I think he蒺s doing it now. 2. W: I was in Tokyo last year and had trouble getting around. M: What kind of problems did you have? W: Well, most of the street signs are only in Japanese, and I don蒺t know enough of the language to ask for help. If I spoke Japanese, I wouldn蒺t have gotten lost so often. 3. W: Have you heard the news, Bill? M: No, what? W: A war has just started in Mandanga. M: Mandanga? Where蒺s that? W: I don蒺t know exactly ... but it蒺s worrying. They showed a television report last night. 4. W: John, are you meeting Mr Watson at your office tomorrow morning? M: No, I told his secretary that we would meet him at his hotel. W: Is that Hilton Hotel, behind the office building? M: That蒺s right, and then we蒺ll have lunch at Golden Duck Restaurant. 5. W: What are you reading? M: The Godfather. It蒺s about the Mafia in America. John recommended me to read it. W: It蒺s a very long book. M: I know. I蒺ve been reading it for a month, and I haven蒺t finished it yet! Actually I don蒺t like the long books. Section B - 4 - In this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. A t the end of each conversation, there will be a one-minute pause. During the pause, read the questions and make your answers on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre. Conversation One Listen to the conversation, mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to your listening. W: Today, Jeremy Parsons, the author of a new book called Banned by Law, is here to tell us about some new rules and laws. M: Hi, Erica. Thanks for allowing me to be here. W: Hi, Jeremy. Let蒺s start with New York. The mayor has tried to clean up the city, hasn蒺t he? M: That蒺s right. It蒺s now illegal to drink alcohol in public places, or smoke in restaurants. And it蒺s illegal to feed the pigeons! W: Perhaps a lot of people are angry about the bans. M: Well, New York is now a nicer place to live in. But people want to make their own decisions; they don蒺t want to follow so many rules. W: Yes, it蒺s all about individual freedom, or government control, isn蒺t it? What about the rest of the world? M: Well, in Tokyo you mustn蒺t use your mobile phone on the train. W: That seems fair enough. M: Well, yes, but here蒺s a strange one from Halifax, Canada. People there aren蒺t allowed to wear perfume, or other products that have a strong smell. Conversation Two Listen to the conversation, mark each question as A, B, C or D according to your listening. W: How long have you been away from Canada? M: We蒺ve only been in Madrid for four months, but I蒺ve lived abroad for a long time. Since I was twelve I蒺ve lived in three different countries: Russia, Greece and now Spain. W: That means you蒺ve been to lots of different schools. Has that been difficult? M: Well, I蒺ve been at international schools which give lessons in English. But yes, it蒺s difficult when you start at a new school in a foreign country. You don蒺t know anyone and you feel a bit lost. The first time was the worst—that was in Russia. I was really confused and lonely for a while. And then, when I started to feel at home, Dad got a new job and we moved again! W: So what蒺s it like now in Madrid? M: I think I蒺ve adapted quite well and I蒺ve started to learn Spanish. Of course I蒺m still a foreigner, but I don蒺t mind that any more. W: Have you enjoyed moving from place to place? M: Yes and no. It蒺s always interesting and it gives you confidence. But it蒺s hard when you have to leave and say goodbye. W: Do you ever go back to Canada? - 5 - M: Yes. In fact I went back to my old school in Toronto for six months last year. In some ways that was the strangest experience I蒺ve ever had. Everything was the same, but I was different! I felt a lot older than other kids of my age. W: Is Canada still“home”to you? M: Of course. I do really miss it, but it would be quite hard to live there all the time. Section C In this section, you will hear five short news items. Each item will be read only once. A fter each item, there will be a fifteen-second pause. During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre. 16. Many Kenyans were surprised after the education minister released results of the country蒺s 2016 university entrance exam. Just 15 percent of the more than 500,000 students who took the exam passed it. The results are much lower than last year. Some people believe the results are lower because officials took action to reduce cheating on the test. 17. There is good news for people who think they do not have time to exercise. A group of researchers from a university in Canada recently published a study that says short bursts of high-intensity exercise are good for you. In fact, this kind of exercise is just as good as spending up to an hour riding a bike or running steadily. 18. US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Coca-Cola North America President Sandy Douglas recently announced that their partnership to restore and protect damaged watersheds with national forestlands achieved a milestone of one billion liters of water restored, and that the partnership will commit to double that outcome through 2018. 19. From the very beginning of his administration, addressing climate change has been one of President Barack Obama蒺s top priorities. Looking back today, the Obama Administration蒺s eight year quest to lead global efforts to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions has been a historic success. In December 2015, the world came together to adopt the Paris Agreement on climate change. 20. Not many scientific studies begin like this: “Many hours of watching YouTube clips. Trying to find as many yawns as possible.”But for Andrew Gallup, an evolutionary psychologist who studies yawning at the State University of New York, it was all in a day蒺s work. Gallup says yawns have traditionally been known as a sign of sleepiness, or boredom. “But recent evidence suggests that yawning may function to promote brain cooling.” Section D In this section, you will hear two short passages. The passages will be read twice. A fter each passage, there will be a thirty-second pause. During the pause, write the answers on the answer sheet. Listen to the passage. For questions 21—25, fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear. - 6 - M: “You can蒺t wear those here! ”It was a hot summer day, instead of the usual “Good morning”from his boss, Philip Dale was told to go home and change out of his casual shorts and flip flops. He refused and then he was out of a job.“I work in an office and we don蒺t have to meet clients,”said Mr Dale.“Women can wear skirts and shorts. Why do men have to wear hot trousers and ties?” But the company disagreed. “This is work, not a holiday on the beach,”said a company spokeswoman. “It蒺s true that Mr Dale doesn蒺t have to work with customers, but he has to go in and out of the building and we must think about our image. What蒺s more, Mr Dale蒺s contract says very clearly, ‘Employees must wear suitable clothes in the workplace.’It蒺s a question of professionalism. Shorts and flip flops are not formal enough.”However, Mr Dale蒺s lawyer said: “This is a question of human rights. Companies cannot tell their employees what to wear. Of course, employees should wear clothes that are suitable for their work, but there is nothing wrong with shorts in the summer. The important question here is the question of sexual discrimination. If they must have rules about clothes, they cannot have some rules for men and others for women.” Listen to the passage. For questions 26—30, complete the notes using no more than three words for each blank.
