11. M: I’d like to check those books out and return these.

W: OK, but you are overdue. I’ll have to charge you for three days.

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

12. M: Have you seen Jake around? We are supposed to play tennis now.

W: Well, his racket is here on the sofa.

Q: What does the women imply?

13. W: I heard you got full marks on your physics exam. Congratulations!

M. Thanks. I’m sure you also did a good jo b.

Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?

14. W: I left my raincoat in the house. Could you please wait while I go back to get

it?

M: Don’t bother. The weatherman said it would clear up by noon.

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

15. M: When did you discover your window broken and your belongings missing?

W: Right after getting up, about 6 o’clock. And then I called the police station immediately.

Q: What are the man and the woman talking about?

16. M: Well, I have printed my last name, first name, date of birth and contact

information. Anything else?

W: No. That’s all right. We’ll fill in the rest of it if you just sign your name at the bottom.

Q: What has the man been doing?

17. W: The new course is supposed to be easy.

M: Not many students do well in it，though, do they?

Q: What does the man think of the course?

18. W: I wish the teacher would change the record. She has played that song a

thousand times in class.

M: I agree. It used to be one of my favorites before I had to hear it so often.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

Conversation one

M: Hey Linda, did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year?

W: Not yet. Are there a lot of changes?

M: There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we are now able to choose seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals you get for a week marked on it.

W: That’s a big change, Tom. And a complicated system.

M: Yeah. It will be much better for people who don’t eat 3 meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria, because they won’t have to pay for meals they don’t eat. W: So what’s the deal for those who do eat at school all the time?

M: It’s better for them, too. Because the more meals you sign a contract for, the cheaper each one is.

W: I see. It still sounds rather complicated.

M: True. It took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the ten meals. W: Why is that?

M: Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the ten-meal plan gives me lunch and dinner each weekday at a fairly low price. And I won’t be paying for meals I don’t usually eat.

W: What about the weekend when you are on campus?

M: Well, there are often guests on campus on weekends. So they allow you to buy single meals on a walk-in basis on Saturdays and Sundays. The price per meal is much higher that way. But I am away so much that it will still be less money for me to pay single price on the weekends rather than sign up for the fourteen meals

a week plan.

W: Oh. I guess I’ll have to sit down and figure out my eating pattern, so I can get the best deal.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

19. What’s the main characteristic of the new way of paying for meals?

20. When do the students pay for the meals they sign a contract for?

21. What is the advantage of the new plan for those students who eat all their meals at

the school cafeteria?
