7:28it for us okay but did you check to see
7:31if any paper is jammed inside yes i did
7:34but that's not the problem i think the
7:36problem may be more serious all right
7:39but i have to run across town this
7:41morning to fix a machine there so i
7:43don't think i can make it to your office
7:45until after lunch
8:08questions 13 to 16 refer to the
8:10following conversation
8:12first take some time to read the
8:14questions 13 to 16.
8:33foreign
9:02hi there i'm having trouble finding this
9:05certain book on medieval german nobility
9:08let me check on the computer
9:10it appears that we don't have it oh no
9:13it was really important for an essay i'm
9:15working on right now
9:17well we have a central computer system
9:19that is connected to the other
9:20university libraries in the state i can
9:23search them all to see where your book
9:25is then order it from the nearest
9:27university
9:28you could borrow it from another library
9:31that would be great how long will it
9:33take we can usually get a book here in
9:35two or three days but the lending period
9:37is shorter than for a normal book only
9:40ten days instead of two weeks and if
9:42you're late returning books from other
9:43libraries the overdue fine is a lot
9:45larger i won't be late but does it cost
9:48anything to sign out books from other
9:50libraries not for up to five books any
9:53more than that and you would have to pay
9:55a small service charge
10:17questions 17 to 20 refer to the
10:19following conversation
10:21first take some time to read the
10:23questions 17 to 20.

11:17to meet james for a study session at 4
11:20but he's late james is like that i
11:22always give myself an extra 15 minutes
11:25or so whenever i have an appointment
11:27with him that's not a bad idea i'd like
11:29to have him waiting for me for a change
11:32yeah some people are just irresponsible
11:34like that i remember once he was
11:36actually late for the exam nearly 20
11:38minutes late and he just comes walking
11:40in like there's nothing wrong he wasn't
11:42worried or anything i can't imagine
11:44myself being like that i always leave
11:47myself extra time just to make sure i'm
11:49always ready and on time oh there he
11:52comes now it's about time
11:54how long are you guys planning on
11:55studying pretty late we have a big
11:57chemistry test tomorrow and i'm really
11:59behind well maybe i'll see you later i
12:02have to get some work done at the
12:03library too
12:28that is the end of part 2.
13:02part 3
13:03questions 21 to 35 in this part you will
13:07hear three talks lectures or
13:09conversations
13:11the talks lectures or conversations will
13:14not be repeated
13:15there are five questions for each talk
13:18lecture or conversation for each
13:20question choose the right answer a b
13:24c or d
13:28questions 21 to 25 refer to the
13:30following professors lecture
13:32first take some time to read the
13:35questions 21-25
15:06can you believe professor kensington
15:08postponed the due date for the term
15:10paper this morning it's unbelievable
15:13yeah it was crazy i've been spending
15:16days and nights in the computer lab
15:18writing up that paper i only did that
15:21because he kept on emphasizing that he
15:24won't take any paper that's not in his
15:26office by noon today i heard that too
15:29jessica and i stayed up half the night
15:32trying to finish it i think it was three
15:34o'clock in the morning when we finally
15:36had the third draft i barely had any
15:39sleep
15:40you had jessica to help you
15:42at least you had someone to proofread
15:44your paper and help you with the
15:46research it was a nightmare for me
15:49i didn't even have time to proofread my
15:51paper well i'm really upset that
15:53professor kensington was so
15:55inconsiderate don't you agree
15:58i guess it was a hasty change but
16:01i think he did it for us students you
16:03really didn't get enough sleep did you
16:06you're not thinking straight i can't
16:08possibly see how i can understand his
16:10hasty decision that way
16:12well as much as i'm unhappy with his
16:15last minute decision
16:17i think he did it so that we could have
16:20one more chance to look over our work
16:22before turning it in
16:24besides an extension of two days isn't
16:27going to change anything drastic in our
16:29papers i suppose
16:31still i would have had more time to
16:33study for the calculus exam which was
16:36today if i hadn't had to spend so much
16:38time and energy on that paper
16:40oh well at least he didn't tell us to
16:43hand it in earlier that's right anyway
16:46i'm not going to spend another two days
16:48on the assignment i'm handing it in
16:50after the next class
17:00questions 26 to 30 refer to the
17:03following conversation
17:05first take some time to read the
17:07questions 26 to 30.
18:02so
18:39professor atkins could i get some help
18:41with my chemistry lab
18:44certainly julie what's the problem are
18:46you having trouble understanding some of
18:48the experiments
18:50oh no i understand the experiment
18:53perhaps i only think that i understand
18:55it what do you mean
18:57do you or don't you
18:59well i tried the latest experiment by
19:02myself based on what i understood from
19:04your lectures in lab session
19:06but i seem to come up with really
19:08different results from what the textbook
19:10indicates i should be getting
19:12that certainly is a possibility remember
19:15the textbook tends to give you an ideal
19:17explanation of the experiments
19:20but in real life any number of factors
19:23can cause you to get results that might
19:25not be the ideal or preferred outcome
19:29oh that's good
19:30so any result is acceptable
19:33no of course there is a range for this
19:36particular experiment i'd expect your
19:39answer to be within
19:41let's see now perhaps four or five
19:44percent of the textbook
19:46really my answer was nearly 10 percent
19:49off
19:50wouldn't that be all right
19:52i'm sorry but that would be a problem
19:55if your answer were that far from the
19:57proper answer and say that even if you
20:00could explain the difference
20:02i would have to lower your grade
20:04significantly
20:06i see all right
20:08i guess i'm going to have to redo it
20:10i want to do well in your class and
20:12can't afford to get a bad grade
20:15very good but you'll have to hurry the
20:17lab is due friday and i won't be giving
20:20any extensions
20:22oh
20:22i was hoping
20:24yes
20:25oh it's nothing
20:27well could you please sign a permission
20:29slip for me to use the lab after hours i
20:32only have time during late evenings this
20:34weekend
20:35sure i'll do that for you right now
20:38here you go
20:40and a tip
20:41before you start the experiment wipe the
20:44test tubes with alcohol
20:46there might be unwanted residue inside
20:49that might be affecting the result
20:58questions 31-35 refer to the following
21:01professors lecture
21:03first take some time to read the
21:05questions 31-35
23:04we'll be looking into the largest state
23:06in america alaska
23:09if you look at the location of alaska on
23:11the map you can see that it is bordered
23:13by canada on the east the arctic ocean
23:16on the north
23:17the bering strait and bering sea to the
23:20east and the gulf of alaska wait a
23:23minute
23:24sorry about that
23:25to the west and the gulf of alaska to
23:28the south
23:29and as you can see on the map alaska has
23:32a greater land area than california and
23:35texas combined
23:37now although there are many cities in
23:39alaska the population is so low that an
23:42average number of students in a middle
23:45school classroom is only about 10.
23:48you can imagine many desolate small
23:50towns scattered around alaska
23:52it's probably because roads and railways
23:55serve only certain portions of the state
23:58so it's natural that alaskans rely
24:00heavily on airplanes for transportation
24:03since many parts of alaska are
24:05accessible only via air
24:08well of course there is a railway
24:11operating between fairbanks a relatively
24:13big city in central alaska and seward a
24:17city on the southern coast
24:19it is much more popular than the only
24:22major highway in alaska the alaska
24:25highway which is open throughout the
24:27year
24:28not that there's much traffic
24:30one does not need to venture far to
24:32understand the reason for its sparse
24:35population
24:36even though cold climate and other
24:38factors make most of alaska a less than
24:41desirable location for farming
24:44agriculture is conducted in a few areas
24:46between fairbanks and the southern coast
24:49most of the food alaskans need however
24:52must be imported from outside the state
24:55also alaska is subject to strong
24:57earthquakes and occasional volcanic
24:59activity
25:01your textbook describes the explosion of
25:03the alaskan volcano mount katmai in the
25:06early 20th century as one of the most
25:10famous and violent volcanic eruptions in
25:12history
25:14i strongly suggest you read up on that
25:16chapter
25:17as we'll be touching on some of that the
25:19next time
25:20anyway where was i
25:22oh yes earthquakes
25:24these occasional earthquakes generate
25:27seismic sea waves called tsunamis as you
25:30may have heard these waves can reach far
25:32inland and destroy communities along the
25:35shore
25:36it wasn't much different from the
25:38terrible tsunami of 2004
25:46this is the end of the listening paper
25:49now you have 5 minutes to transfer your
25:52answers to your answer sheet
27:05you
