Part I Listening Comprehension (20 minutes)


Section A


Directions: In this section, you will hear 10 short conversations. At the end of each
conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation
and the question 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 the Answer
Sheet with a single line through the center.


Example: You will hear:
You will read:
A) 2 hours.
B) 3 hours.
C) 4 hours.
D) 5 hours.


From the conversation we know that the two were talking about some work they will start at 9
o’clock in the morning and have to finish at 2 in the afternoon. Therefore, D) “5 hours” is the
correct answer. You should choose [D] on the Answer Sheet and mark it with a single line through
the center.
