11.W: We’ll wait here by the door and look at the sea. We can change our rooms if we don’t like them.
M: Oh, I would like a room facing the sea. I’ve been looking forward to that ever since we left London.
Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?
12.M: When do you want to start working?
W: Right away. Yesterday I spent all day making phone calls. But nobody wanted a secretary.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
13. W: Bob said that Seattle is a great place for conferences.
M: He’s certainly in a position to make that ment. He’s been there so often.
Q: What does the man say about Bob?
14. M: Hey, Mary. My parents are ing to visit for the weekend. Any idea where I can find an inexpensive place for them to stay near the campus?
W: Try that new hotel down the road. My parents stayed there when they were here last month. It was nice. Oh，基隆翻譯, yeah, the rates are really reasonable.
Q: What does the woman imply?
15.M: The bookstore is out of the texts for English Literature. And the exam is next Monday.
W: You’d better borrow one from the library, because the new order won’t arrive by then.
Q: What does the woman mean?
16.W: Did you hear that Henry is leaving the pany?
M: Yes. That’s too bad. I was under the impression he was on a fast track to the top.

Q: What did people think about Henry?
17. M: Did you watch the eight o’clock news program last night?
W: I couldn’t because I had an appointment with Professor Li then.
Q: Why did the woman miss the news program?
18. W: e in, Jack. Would you like some cookies? I’ve just taken them out of the oven.

Q: Why does the man refuse to try the cookies?
Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Let’s just go over the arrangements for my trip to Bombay.
W: Sure, here’s your schedule. You’re flying at 9:55 on Monday evening. That’s British Airways flight 139. Er, you have to check in two hours before, so I’ve arranged for a car to pick you up from the office at 6:30.
M: Good. What time does the flight get into Bombay?
W: It gets into Bombay at 11:15. That’s local time, of course. Er, I’ve booked you a room at the Oberoi. They’re going to send a car to pick you up.
M: Fine. Now when am I seeing Mr. Shah?
W: Tuesday afternoon at two. By the way, Mr. Majundar is ing to the meeting as well.
M: That’s good news; we won’t have to arrange a separate meeting. And has the tour of the new plant in Bombay and the meeting with the directors been arranged for Wednesday?
W: Yes, they’ll pick you up in the morning at 9, and plan to show you the plant, take you to lunch, and return you to the hotel at about 5 p.m.
M: Good. Now, has my visa arrived?
W: No, not yet. I’ll phone the embassy and find out if they’ve sent it off yet.
M: Thanks. And could you order some travelers’ cheques?
W: Sure, I’ll phone the bank.
M: And when am I flying back?
W: I’m afraid the earliest flight I could get is Thursday at 1:15 a.m., everything else was booked up. That’s British Airways again, flight 138. That gets you back into London at 6:25 Thursday morning. You’ve got Thursday in London for the Sales Meeting, but not until 3 p.m., then Friday morning you’re leaving for New York...
