Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear several talks.
After each talk, you will hear some questions. The talks and questions will not
be repeated. After you hear a question, read the four possible answers in your
test book and choose the best answer. Then on your answer sheet, find the
number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of
the answer you have chosen.
Here is an example.
On the recording, you hear:
(narrator) : Listen
to the talk about the dust-yards.
(man) : The
dust-yards were the most notorious of the nineteenth-century waste trades. In
‘Dangerous Trade’ (1902), industrial health expert Thomas Oliver stated that ‘under
all circumstances dust-sorting is dirty and disagreeable work.’ The uniquely unpleasant
conditions of the yards meant that dust-women formed ‘a class by themselves,
and so the work becomes more or less hereditary.’ The workers also received
marginal reward for their efforts. By 1900 the average wages of women in
contractors’ yards in London were only between seven and eight shillings per week.
As a result the dust-yards were increasingly controversial by the end of the nineteenth
century. At the same time, the waste continued to grow. The 1875 Public Health
Act had given local authorities a legal responsibility to remove and dispose of
domestic waste. However, the last years of the century saw a solution to the
apparently insoluble problem of what to do with the refuse of Britain’s cities.
A means, in the eyes of experts, to achieve the perfect removal of waste
without resort to either the dust-yard or the “tip”(the incinerator).
Now listen to a sample question. Sample Answer
(narrator) : What is
the topic of the talk?
In your test book, you read:
(A) Dust-yards (C)
Thomas Oliver
(B) Dangerous trade (D)
Britain’s cities
The best answer to the question ‘What is the topic of the talk?’is
(A) ‘dust-yards’. It is based
on a statement ‘The dust-yards were the most notorious of the
nineteenth-century waste
trades.’ Therefore, the correct choice is (A).
Now listen to another sample question. Sample Answer
(narrator) :
According to Thomas Oliver’s statement, how is under all circumstances
dust-sorting?
In your test book, you read:
(A) It is dirty and agreeable work.
(B) It is dirty and disagreeable work.
(C) It is clean and agreeable work.
(D) It is clean and disagreeable work.
The best answer to the question According to ‘Thomas Oliver’s
statement, how is under all
cisrcumstances dust-sorting?’ is (B) ‘It is dirty and disagreeable
work.’ It is based on a statement ‘industrial health expert Thomas Oliver
stated that ‘under all circumstances dustsorting is dirty and disagreeable
work.’ Therefore, the correct choice is (B).

(man) : The
media has become one of society’s most important agents of socialization.
Television, radio, newpapers, the internet, and other forms of media have a
strong effect on the way we think and act. However, there is disagreement about
exactly what the effect is. For example, access to television allows us to be
better informed and gives us an increased understanding of the world. TV can
also be used to entertain us. However, television exposes us to negative images,
too. Furthermore, some critics argue that it may make us passive, violent, or
too materialistic. Other forms of mass media, such as video games, magazines,
and movies, may influence our ideas strongly, too. We do not yet really understand
the extent of their impact on society.

choose careers they wanted and didn’t feel that they had to choose careers that
