Section A

Short Conversation

11. W: Just imagine! We have to finish reading 300 pages before

Monday! How can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time?

M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can’t find the book in

the library or in the university bookstore.

Q: What does the man mean?

12. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping?

The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be

happy to pick up anything you need.

W: Well, I don’t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you

what, why don’t we go together?

Q: What does the woman mean?

13. M: Forgive the mein here, we have a party last night. There

were a lot of people and they all brought food.

W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I gueit’s pretty obvious what

you’ll be doing most of today.

Q: What does the woman think the man will do?

14. W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with

John Smith?

M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is

as good as the next.

Q: What does the man mean?

15. W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did not

even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn’t

let me pass!

M: That doesn’t seem fair. I’d feel that way too if I were you.

Q: What does the man imply?

16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the

conversation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas

party, I just won’t come.

W: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.

Q: What does the woman imply?

17. W: You’re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What’s

your impression so far?

M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his clawithout

first drinking a cup of coffee.

Q: What does the man imply?

18. W: Have you ever put a computer together before?

M: No, never. But I think if we follow these instructions

exactly, we won’t have much trouble.

Q: What are the speakers going to do?
