Pain past is pleasure.
Part A
1. W: Tina says you won’t be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow evening.
M: Yeah, sorry about that. I just found out that I have to work over time.
Q: What does the man mean?
2. W: Would you mind taking a picture of me in front of the fountain?
M: Not at all. But I’m not sure how this camera works.
Q: What will probably happen next?
3. W: Oh my goodness. Your help services card is sitting right here in your file, it should have
been sent out to you weeks ago. I hope you haven’t had any need for it.
M: No, not yet. But it’s nice to know I have it, so I don’t need to reapply.
Q: What does the man mean?
4. M: Excuse me, Pro.# But I’m still confused, could you go over that last point one more time?
W: Of course, that’s what I’m here for.
Q: What does the woman mean?
5. M: I’m sorry I made you wait. The bus was stuck in traffic and took forever to get here.
W: No harm done. I was able to catch up on some reading.
Q: What can be inferred about the conversation?
6. M: That’s a really nice raincoat, Lisa.
W: Thanks. I like it too. If only it had a heavy lining(衬里)，so I can wear it in winter too.
Q: What does the woman mean?
7. M: I just heard the news that Mary won the election. That must be a big disappointment for
you.
W: Well, actually, she probably was the best candidate this time around, and I can always run
again next year.
Q: What does the woman imply?
8. W: Do you have your film festival schedule with you? I’d like to find out what’s playing this
weekend.
M: I past it on to my roommate, but there should be more in the bookstore. I can pick one up for
you next time I’m there.
Q: What does the man offer to do?
9. W: My new neighbor next door is really great. She’s got fantastic collection of classical music, I
mean dozens of composers I’ve never even heard of.
M: Hmm… Just be careful Annie, a hobby like that can be contagious（感染的）and expensive.
Q: What does the man imply?
10. M: The bus they are renting to take us to the museum? It’s goanna leave at ten in front of the
library. So, let’s meet on the library steps before ahead, ok?
W: Oh I thought I told you. I have a dentist appointment this morning so I’m going to meet up
with you guys downtown at the museum, ok?
Q: What does the woman imply?
11. M: Gee, you have a lot of change in that jar. Are you a coin collector?
W: No, I’m just saving them for a rainy day（穷困时期）.
Q: What does the woman mean? 12. W: I saw you in the lecture hall yesterday on your way out to Pro. #’s philosophy class. I was
quite surprised, I couldn’t imaging you are someone interested in philosophy.
M: I don’t know what’s so surprising, there are lots of engineering students in that class.
Q: What can be inferred about the man?
13. M: Did I hear that right? Our reports are due next Friday?
W: Just the introduction, the rest will find out about today in class.
Q: What does the woman mean?
14. M: This painting would go great in my room, but they want 30 dollars for it and it’s probably
mostly for the frame.
W: Then why don’t you see a few sellers separately?(分别找卖画与卖框的人)
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
15. W: Dr. Smith, this is #, those stretching exercises(伸展运动) you recommended are really
helping with my back pain. But the pills you prescribed, I think, they are giving me a headache.
M: That’s not unusual, let’s try cutting back(削减) to just one a day, all right?
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
16. W: Congratulations, Tom. I heard you got a job with the Wilson Company.
M: Hmm, thanks, Pro.#, but it’s a little too soon for congratulation, all I got so far is an interview,
early next week, on Thursday.
Q: What does the man imply?
17. W: I’m never going to volunteer to help Janet with the party again.
M: I know what you mean. We ended up doing most of the cleaning-up.
Q: What can be inferred about the party?
18. W: This is a pretty small room to be sharing with someone. Don’t you find it a little crowded?
M: Well, I don’t know about my roommate. But me, I’m used to being a little cramped(狭窄). I
grew up with six brothers, remember?
Q: What does the man mean?
19. M: Excuse me, do you know what time the train to Middle Town leaves?
W: You mean left？ the last one was in eleven p.m. and that’s it, till tomorrow morning.
Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?
20. M: I’m thinking about wearing a suit to the party tonight, what do you think?
W: Well, I haven’t heard anything about dressing up. I bet a sweater would be fine.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
21. M: If you see your friend Julia in the next couple of days, would you mind asking her to give
me a call, I was hoping she’d be able to help out with course registration next week.
W: Sure, Pro.#, if I see her. She’s made herself pretty scarce lately（她最近很少出现）.
Q: What does the woman mean?
22. W: I’ve never seen a larger collection of this author’s books than the one here in this library.
It’s impressive how many she managed to write in her lifetime.
M: Yeah, actually a lot more than even this collection was suggested.
Q: What does the man imply about the author’s books?
23. M: My boss keeps asking me to work overtime but I always said no because I don’t wanna
jeopardize（影响、危害）my studies, but I’m starting to waver(动摇).
W: I wouldn’t give in if I were you.
Q: What does the woman mean?
