lass=txt>part i dictation the wrist watch

it is generally believed that wrist watches are an exception to the normal sequence in the evolution of mans jewelry.

reversing the usual order, they were first worn by women, and then adopted by men. in the old days, queens included wrist watches among their crown jewelry. later, they were worn by swiss workers and farmers. until world war i, americans

associated the watch with fortune hunters. then army officers discovered that the wrist watch was most practical for active combat. race car drivers also loved to wear wrist watches, and pilots found them most useful while flying. soon men dared to wear wrist watches without feeling self-conscious. by 1924, some 30 percent of mans watches were worn on the wrist. today, the figure is 90 percent. and they are now worn by both men and women for practical purposes rather than for decoration.

october is usually the busiest month in the academic

calendar. universities have something called freshers week for their newcomers. its a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.

however, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big

halls can be nerve-wracking. where do you start? who should you make friends with? which clubs should you join?

luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. so just take it all in slowly. dont rush into anything that youll regret for the next three years. listening comprehension: 1-10 ddaca bdccd 11-20 dbadd bcbda 21-30 cbadc abaca

suits them / and of equal importance to which they are suited. others never find a job in which they are really happy. / they remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. /when we choose our careers, we need to ask ourselves two questions. / first, what do we think we would like to be?/ second, what kind of people are we? / the idea, for example, of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, / but unless we have great talent and are willing to work very hard, / we are certain to fail in these occupations, / and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. /so it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.

questions i to 3 are based on the following conversation. m: is that anne shaw? w:yes, speaking?

m: hello, it is eric from london. w: hello, eric. how can i help you?

m;lm fixing up on next project team meeting, and i just want to check some possible dates with you,

w: fine, let me just get my diary. ok, which dates are you looking at?

m: ive spoken to the others, (1) and they prefer either the third week of may or the second week of june.

w: yeah, (1) both of the weeks are pretty clear at the moment except for the 11th of june. m: right, ive got that.

w:so where is the meeting taking place this time?

m: (2)lt was going to be in london. but i spoke to carlos in

mexico city, and he suggested chicago. he thinks it will be more convenient for most of the team.

w:(2)hes probably right. itll certainly be much easier for me as well. because i can fly from toronto, and im sure you can find a meeting room somewhere near the airport.

m:(2) thats a good idea. ill check up some hotels in that area and get back to you towards the end of the week. w: fine, but im not in the office on friday.

m: ok, (3) ill call you later in the afternoon on thursday. w:no problem, bye. key:1.a2. d3.a

questions 4 to 6 are based on the following conversation. m: we are having a debate on advertising thursday evening, and i have to take part.

w: thats interesting. i should like to hear what people think about advertising.

m: whats there to say? we must have advertising, mustnt we? w:why?

m: well, we wouldnt know what there was to buy if we didnt have advertisements.

w: yes, thats true. up to a point, advertisements provide information that we need. if

someone has produced a new article, naturally, the seller wants to tell us about it.

m:yes, and the advertisements tell us which product is the best.

w:do they? i dont think so. (4) every manufacturer says that his product is the best, or

at least tries to give the impression. only one can be the best, so the others are

misleading, arent they?

m: well, in a way, i suppose, but we dont have to believe them, do we?

w:are you saying that advertisements arent effective? i dont think that intelligent

businessmen will spend millions of dollars on advertising if nobody believes the advertisements, do you?

m: perhaps not, but after all, its their money that they are spending.

w: (5) is it? i think not. the cost of advertising is added to the price of the article. you

and i and all the other people who buy the article pay for the advertising.

m: well, i suppose we get something for our money, some information.

w:yes, (6)but dont forget it is often misleading information, and sometimes harmful. m: harmful?

w:what about the advertisements designed to persuade young people to smoke

cigarettes? wouldnt you say they are harmful?

m: youve given me a lot to think about. im quite looking forward to the debate now. key: 4.d5.b 6.d

ward. have you got everything you need?

m: yes, nurse, i think so. (7) i followed the hospitals advice, and ive only brought a few belongings with me.

w: good, you can see the reasons why we ask you to do that, (7)the cupboard is really very small.

m:yes. nurse, can you tell roe what the visiting hours are? w:yes, of course. (8) they are in the afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 and in the evening

from 7:00 to 8:00, but remember that only two people can see you at the same .time.

lunch is at noon, there is tea at 3 :30, and supper is at 6 oclock. m:0h, thats very different from what i have been used to. youd better tell me the rest of the rules here.

w:yes. well, you can see the no smoking sign. (9)we dont allow smoking in the wards, and the same goes for alcohol. however, if you do need to smoke, there are special lounges.

m: oh, i dont smoke, so it doesnt affect me. w:good.

questions ii to 13 are based on the following passage.

in my opinion, the most important thing when choosing a hotel for an international conference is the meeting room or rooms. (11) for example, you may need a large room where everyone can be together for keynote speeches or presentations, and smaller meeting rooms for informal group discussions. then, if people are coming from different countries, you need to find out about the rooms for them to stay in. (13) they should be spacious and comfortable, and have facilities for using email and laptops, as people have to keep in touch with their offices or headquarters even when they are away.

(12)my next point is facilities for hotel guests, things like a bar, a good quality restaurant, preferably offering local food and fitness and sport centers. these are important, because

delegates need to be able to relax after a long day of meet- ings and get to know each other in informal situations.

finally, for an international conference where delegates are coming from different countries, it can be very useful to choose a hotel that (13) has good transport connections with the nearest airport and all places of interest. this can save everybody a lot of time. key: 11.d 12.b 13.b

questions 14 to 17 are based on the following passage. (17) good morning, ladies and gentlemen. its a great pleasure that i welcome you to the new museum of industrial and rural life. (14) the museum provides us with a unique historical

record of industrial and agricultural life in the area. here, you find a wonderful collectiop of industrial and agricultural

exhibits. some of them date back 200 years which reflect the history of our area over the last two centuries. until recently, the area was mainly agricultural, and the world industries and traditions were all associated with agriculture. the museums collections bring this heritage back to life, with the fascinating blend of working and static displays. from early times, good communications with the rest of the country have lead to the industrial prosperity for the area. one example of such

communications was (15) the roman road, portsmouth street which passed nearby. later, canals came to bring new

prosperity, and then the railways. good transport systems encouraged local industries, especially those related to agriculture, and the museum has collections of national significance from many of these.local people, too, have changed the history, and the museum will introduce you to

these and other local celebrities. (16) the displays with all items collected locally

show what local life used to be like. many displays of local items are in context and show, for example printers and

cobblers workshops. whatever you are interested, we hope the museum will have something for you. key: 14.c 15.a 16.d 17.b

questions 18 to 20 are based on the following passage.

good afternoon, everybody. thank you very much for inviting me here to talk about safety in dormitory and personal security. first, a few points to bear in mind. youll notice the doors of

your dorm have two types of locks, a yale lock and a chubb lock. make sure you double (18) lock your door, not just one lock, both of them, however long you are going out for. make sure when you go out, all the windows are closed. those of you in the

ground and first-floor rooms will notice that you are locking windows, make sure you use them. lock them every time you go out; (18) lock them at night. if you have got expensive

equipmenis in your room, first of all, insure it. so many people lose things and havent got insurance. make sure you insure it. this brings me onto personal security. wherever possible,

avoid working alone late at night, especially girl students. avoid dark streets, and try to stick to the well-lit streets whenever possible. (19) also if you know you are going to be up late, make sure youve got enough money for a taxi to get home again, or arrange to stay with friends for the night. it may sound absurd, but dont forget the university actually offers free self-defense classes. i hope it something youd never have to use, but (20)it certainly was going along to a few self-defense sessions. key: 18.d 19.b 20.a
