SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following conversation.
W: Hi, Steve!
M: Hi, Jane. I’m planning to go to London by train. Do you want to come with me?
W: But it would be cheaper by bus.
M: [1] I’ve got a student travel card. You can get cheap train tickets with it.
W: That sounds good. How much does it cost?
M: A card for six months is sixteen pounds.
W: So how do I get one?
M: [3] You need two photographs--one for the card and one for the form.
W: There’s a photo machine in the post office. It gives you four photos for three pounds.
M: So does the one in the library. [2]But I went to a photographer’s studio. It was cheaper.
W: I don’t have to show my passport or my driving license, do I?
M: No, Jane, [3] you only need a letter from your college.
W: OK, I’ll ask my teacher for one.
M: And then you take everything to the tourist office and ask the travel agent.
W: Great, next time you go to London, I’ll come too!
Keys: 1. [C] 2. [A] 3. [A] Questions 4 to 6 are based on the following conversation.
M: How did you like yesterday’s astronomy class?
W: It was interesting, but the point she was trying to make seemed a little far-fetched.
M: Oh, that new theory that ocean water came from comets?
W: Yeah. Do you remember what it’s based on?
M: Some recent satellite photos, I think. Apparently, [4] space satellites recently detected thousands of small comets colliding with earth’s outer atmosphere, almost 40,000 per day.
W: Ok, so they collide with the atmosphere. Then that’s what created the water?
M: It’s not that the collision created water. Comets contain water. They are made up mostly of cosmic dust and water．When they collide with the atmosphere，they break up and the wamr they contain rains down to earth．Ocean water came from that rain．
W：0h，well，this morning，I asked my geology professor about that．He said that most geologists don’t accept it.
M：Why not?
W：Well,[5]their research indicates that most of the water molecules from the comets will have burnt up a_As they fell through the atmosphere．Enough rain couldn’t have reached the earth to fill up the ocean．
M：Well．[6] do the geologists have an alternative theory,to explain where ocean water came from?
W：Yeah,[6]he said the more traditional view is that ocean water came from volcanoes．
M：From volcanoes?
W：Right! As the volcanic fumes are mosdy steam．And they claim that it was volcanic steam that created the oceans，not rain from comets．

M：Hi．I arn calling in regards to a cell phone I bought from you a while back．I ain afraid there is something wrong with the mception signal on my hand phone．[7]I can’t seem to get incoming and outgoing calls and it always gives me a busy signal.来自
W：[8]Could you tell me how long this has been happening? I ask that because it will likely tell me whether the problem is with your equipment or reception．
M：[B]A couple of days ago．Initially I thought it could be the hand phone’s problem but then I realized it was probably the receiver signal．
W：Please give me your number and l will check whether there is any problem on the line．

M：How long do I have to wait before the signal returns to normal?
W：Well，another couple more days．I will give this feedback to our technician and [10] if the problem still exists after two days, please give us a call and we will help you to solve it．
M：Oh-[l0]but vou bet l will蚀one if I don’t get this fixed soon．It’s not as if I call do without my cell phone for very long．
