¡¡¡¡Part A

¡¡¡¡1. A: I need to go across town, but the traffic is so heavy this time of day.

¡¡¡¡B: When you take the subway, you don't have to deal with traffic. I never drive any more.

¡¡¡¡What does the man imply?

¡¡¡¡2. A: I've got two tickets to today's game. Do you want to come along?

¡¡¡¡B: It'll be on television. Besides, it's really too cold for me.

¡¡¡¡What will the man probably do?

¡¡¡¡3. A: You had met Professor Johnson before, right? How would you describe his lectures?

¡¡¡¡B: Well, let me put it this way: I could never stay awake in one of his classes without first drinking at least two cups of coffee.

¡¡¡¡4. A: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the post office?

¡¡¡¡B: Your guess is as good as mine. I'm new around here.

¡¡¡¡What does the woman mean?

¡¡¡¡5. A: I forgot to tell you that Fred called last night to borrow your sleeping bag.

¡¡¡¡B: Oh, I saw him at the gym this morning and he didn't say anything. So he must've asked somebody else.

¡¡¡¡What does the man imply?

¡¡¡¡6. A: You must be looking forward to your trip back to Colorado. It should be fun to hike up into those mountains again.

¡¡¡¡B: Well, there might not be time for that. The thing is I haven't seen my sister and her kids for three years.

¡¡¡¡What does the woman imply?

¡¡¡¡7. A: Tom's house is a mess! Doesn't he ever clean it?

¡¡¡¡B: I guess he just has too much else on his mind with that new job of his.What does the woman imply about Tom?

¡¡¡¡8. A: Hey, that's a great sweater you're wearing. It looks really warm.

¡¡¡¡B: Yeah, but I wish I brought a coat like you did. It's really cold today.

¡¡¡¡What does the woman imply?

¡¡¡¡9. A: Hey, George, I can't get to sleep with the lights so near my bed. Can you study someplace else?

¡¡¡¡B: Sorry, there is a party going on down in the lounge. I suppose I can check the dining room though.

¡¡¡¡What will George probably do?

¡¡¡¡10. A: I wish I didn't have to make a special trip to the post office to get my package.

¡¡¡¡B: Well, if you call them in the morning, they'll give the package to your mail carrier to bring out to you.

¡¡¡¡What does the woman suggest the man do?

¡¡¡¡11. A: Professor, have you graded my term paper yet?

¡¡¡¡B: To tell you the truth, I've been tied up in committee meetings all week.

¡¡¡¡What can be inferred about the paper?

¡¡¡¡12. A: With the cold that bad, I think it is pretty foolish not to see a doctor.

¡¡¡¡B: Don't worry. It'll pass in a few days.

¡¡¡¡What does the man mean?

¡¡¡¡13. A: Do you have hot water in your dorm? Because we haven't had any for three days and I hate cold showers.

¡¡¡¡B: Oh, sounds miserable. Since the gyms usually open, why don't you just go over there to fix the problem?

¡¡¡¡What does the woman suggest the man do?

¡¡¡¡14. A: I just found out the registration of the creative writing class is full. Now I have to wait another whole year to get in.

¡¡¡¡B: Why don't you check back after the first week? Somebody might drop it.

¡¡¡¡What does the man suggest the woman do?

¡¡¡¡15. A: Professor Nelson, could you please turn up the temperature in here? I'mshavingstrouble concentrating.

¡¡¡¡B: Yeah, I understand, but I don't control the thermostat. Tell you what, I'll talk to maintenance about it after class. In the mean time, I suggest you put on a sweater if you brought one.
