　　Part III Listening Comprehension
　　Section A
　　Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the　end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the　conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a　pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide　which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line　through the centre.
　　11. M: One good thing about it is the higher salary. It’s perfect for me.
　　W: I’m sure you will be better off, but I guess you might have to work longer hours.
　　Q: What does the woman mean?
　　12. M: Well, Mrs. White, I’ve completed my examination and I’m happy to say that there’s nothing serious.
　　W: Don’t you think I should have X-rays?
　　Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
　　13. M: Is anything wrong? You look pale.
　　W: My son is in the hospital. I must ask for a leave to take care of him.
　　Q: What happened to the woman?
　　14. M: Oh, god, the question is too difficult for me. What shall I do?
　　W: Don’t worry. Let’s sit down and try to figure it out.
　　Q: What does the woman suggest?
　　15. W: Are you thinking of breaking off the relationship?
　　M: It’s probably just a matter of time. I really can’t put up with her.
　　Q: What does the man mean?
　　16. M: I am going to the zoo to make sketches of monkeys this afternoon.
　　W: Oh, I have the same assignment.
　　Q: What do we learn about the man and the woman from the conversation?
　　17. M: Look! I’m sorry to bother you about this, but could you turn that music down?
　　W: Sorry, I didn’t realize you could hear it.
　　Q: What will the woman probably do?
　　18. M: I keep hearing the name Archie Bunker. He sounds like a terrible person. Who is he?
　　W: He isn’t a real person. There is a TV show called “All in the Family”. Archie Bunker is the father.
　　Q: Who is Archie Bunker?
　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
　　Conversation One
　　M: I hear that dishes in China differ a great deal according to locality. Is that so?
　　W: Yes, China is a large country. Naturally, cookery varies from place to place.
　　M: Where in China do you have the best cooking?
　　W: I’d say Canton, Sichuan, Beijing, and Yangzhou.
　　M: Which style is our dinner tonight?
　　W: Canton. It’s becoming more and more popular, especially with foreign visitors. But there’s a tendency towards mutual adaptation among the different styles. For instance, Beijing duck is also served by Canton cooks. One thing that is common to all is the equal stress placed on taste, smell and color.
　　M: Oh, yes. I was very much attracted by all three of them tonight. Chinese cooking is truly wonderful.
　　W: I suppose Chinese food is new to you. New things are usually appreciated.
　　M: Quite true. I wonder what the average family has for their meals every day?
　　W: Of course an everyday meal in a Chinese household is simpler.
　　M: I see. It’s the same with us.
　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
　　19. What does the man think of Chinese cooking?
　　20. What are the two speakers talking about?
　　21. What do we learn from the conversation?
　　22. What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
