（Script for Listening Comprehension）

Section A

Directions: In this section, you will hear 6 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 read 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 centre.

1. M: The tape explains that there'll be a short pause. Allow a minute or two, but no longer. W: Should we intervene at all during the exam? For instance, to repeat certain instructions if some candidates look puzzled?

M: No, I'm afraid that if someone looks confused, it's their English which isn't up to scratch, not the instructions.

Question: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?

2. W: Well, can you tell me why you came to Finland?

M: Well, I came to Finland - it was right after I finished university in Toronto where I studied literature - I always wanted to be a journalist - and the reason I came to Finland was just for a summer job.

Question: Why did the man come to Finland?

3. W: How long have you been a lock-keeper, Mr. Fidlder?

M: Oh dear, let me think... umm... I started when I was 25, so that means I've been at it for

uh twenty-one years now. Yeah, that's it - three years on the Oxford Canal and the past eighteen years here on the Reading Stretch. Twenty-one years in all.

W: Oh, really!That's incredible.

Question: How long has the man been a lock-keeper?

4. W: Can you tell me when Sudeley Castle is open?

M: Yes, of course, Sudeley Castle, Sudeley, I think it's open all day, someone asked me this a week or so ago... Here we are, I've got the guide. Yes, it's open from 11 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. Well, not quite all day, but morning and afternoon.

W: Eleven am to five pm, OK, that's great.

Question: When is Sudeley Castle open?

5. M: Where did the idea of the gentle classical music come from?

W: From my studies of Renaissance music, and of course, opera. On the continent, especially in Spain and Italy where it still thrives, it is a traditional romantic experience. Over the centuries, university students have turned the classical music into an art form for hire. Question: Where did the idea of the classical music come from?

6. W: What about the new signposting in the airport?

M: New signposting!It's as bad as it's ever been. Oh, I've been going round in circles. You follow a sign and you find that the arrow's pointing the other way.

W: Right. Thank you.

Question: How does the man feel about the new signposting in the airport?

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear one long conversation. At the end of the conversation, 4 questions will be asked about what was said. You will hear both the conversation and the questions 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 centre.

W: Excuse me. I'm doing a survey on the recent modernisation of this airport. Would you mind answering some questions?

M: Well, if you're quick.

W: Right um could you tell me um where you're going and why you're going there? M: Yes, I'm flying to Barcelona on business.

W: OK. Can you tell me how often you use the airport?

M: Yes, I use this airport approximately twice a month because of my work.

W: And um what do you think of the new restaurant?

M: I'm sorry, but I think it's tacky - cheap, vulgar, I mean - plastic cups, wobbly chairs, we deserve something better.

W: Right, now what about the speed of airport procedures and formalities?

M: Well, that varies. Now, some days they're all right, they can cope but on busy days they can't cope at all - if it gets overcrowded they just don't seem to have the staff to deal with the situation and there are delays.

W: Thank you. Um. What about the new parking facilities?

M: In my opinion the parking lot is too far from the terminals. I know there's a courtesy

bus but it isn't frequent enough.

W: Well, er, and what about the transport links to the airport?

M: Transport facilities, public transport is pretty good. I think there are frequent rail services and buses, yes, I think it's pretty good.
