Part I Listening Comprehension
Section A
In this section, you will hear five short conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. A t the end of
each conversation, there will be a twenty-second pause. During the pause, read the question and the three
choices marked A, B and C, 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: Didn蒺t you go to see Macbeth last week?
W: Yeah, it was brilliant. I蒺ve been to it a few times before, but I think this is the best production I蒺ve ever
seen.
M: Yeah, someone I work with went and said it was wonderful. I wish I蒺d been able to get a ticket.
2. M: So, how well is your“Fill Me In”selling?
W: Oh, great, in fact it蒺s only the fourth week of publication of the first issue, and we蒺ve had to reprint another
2000. We蒺 ve sold about 2300. Mostly in alternative bookshops that cater for people who are... er
different.
M: Congratulations!
3. W: Excuse me... I蒺m looking for a bag.
M: Certainly, madam. This bag is very popular. It opens at the top here... like this... and has a nice pattern
around the middle... it蒺s very easy to carry.
W: Hmm. Do you have a smaller one? I don蒺t like it so big, actually.
4. M: I read hundreds of CVs every week. Most of them are good. A few are excellent. And about five percent
of them are terrible.
W: Really? What makes a bad CV?
M: There蒺re a number of things. A CV should be short. No more than two pages long. I recently read a CV
that was twenty pages long. Unbelievable!
5. M: Cathy, are you going to continue with your Spanish?
W: Oh yes, definitely. I蒺ve got lots of ideas. I蒺ve got a Spanish friend and we write emails to each other. We
used to write in English, but now we can write in Spanish.
M: That蒺s great.

Section B
In this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. A t the end of
each conversation, there will be a one -minute pause. During the pause, read the questions and the three
choices marked A , B and C, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the
answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
Conversation One
M: Did you hear about that kid who was knocked down on Junction Road the other day?
W: Yes, it was awful, wasn蒺t it? Still it蒺s hardly surprising, is it?
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, there蒺re always accidents down there, aren蒺t there, especially with the speed cars go at. And, well,
basically, the crossing蒺s in the wrong place, isn蒺t it? I don蒺t know why they蒺ve never moved it. I mean, it蒺d
be better if it was exactly opposite the shops, wouldn蒺t it?
M: Yes, I know what you mean. They could do something to slow the traffic down, couldn蒺t they? Maybe they
could put sleeping policemen there or something like that.
W: Yeah, maybe—maybe one every so often would help, but what would be really great is if they had one of
those speed cameras.
M: Big Brother, you mean!
W: No, they really make a difference. You should see how they蒺ve slowed the traffic down where my parents
live.
M: Yeah, I suppose you蒺re right. I蒺m only against them because I got caught by one last month.
W: You蒺re kidding!
M: No. A hundred and fifty pounds it cost me! A fine and six penalty points!
Conversation Two
W: Do you have trouble remembering people蒺s names? Do you tend to forget where you put your door key?
Then fear not—help is at hand! Today we have with us well-known psychologist Gavin Bonet. Gavin, is
there really a way of improving our memories and if so, what are the steps we can take?
M: The first thing to remember is that we can all help ourselves remember effectively by doing quite ordinary
things like writing things down, using a diary, a calendar, a notebook, a notice-board, and checking these
things regularly. You can use coloured highlighter pens to pick out really important bits of information.
Rather than making your brain lazy, as some people think, scientific studies have proved that these aids
encourage a very organised and methodical approach, which helps the brain to function effectively.
W: Now, I蒺ve heard people say, you know, if they want to remember to buy fish for supper they carry around a
mental picture of a huge fish flapping on a line. Is there any truth in this? It all sounds a bit strange to
me.
M: Centuries ago, the Ancient Greeks developed the system of mnemonics or memory aids. Isolated and
fragmented bits of information are very difficult to remember. A mnemonic is a way of linking what you
wish to remember with something that means something to you. It could be a mental image, a word, a
5- -
short poem, and so on. For example, imagine I want to remember the number 1843465. I could link these
numbers to personal experiences. 18 is easy—that蒺s the age I went to university, 4 is the number of
children I have, 34 is the number of my house and 65 is the age at which I蒺m going to retire! Linking
things we want to remember with rhymes or colours or visual images is helpful as well. Our lifestyle plays
a part in memory too. Eating a healthy diet and taking plenty of exercise and having fresh air all help us
to be more clear-headed and less absent-minded.
W: So it蒺s mind and body together, is that it?
M: Yes, I think so. Scientists are gradually finding out more and more about how the brain works and what
we can do to assist its functioning. When taking notes, for example, it has been shown that mapping out
notes from a central sphere with lines radiating out in different directions is worth adopting because it
reflects the way we link information in the brain. Using different coloured pens for note-taking, not just
black, helps the brain too.
W: Are there any differences between men蒺s and women蒺s recall ability, do you think?
M: Ah, men are good at remembering directions and phone numbers; women are better at names and
appointments. Why, we don蒺t really know. You have to take into account upbringing as well as innate
differences. Factors that seem to be bad for men and women equally are anxiety and worry. These
definitely decrease your thinking ability.
Section C
In this section, you will hear five short news items. A fter each item, which will be read only once, there will
be a pause. During the pause, read the question and the three choices marked A , B and C, and decide which
is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the
centre.
16. We have all witnessed the power of social media. It helped elect Barack Obama president in two thousand
eight. It also helped to support popular revolutions in two thousand ten and eleven that forced several
long-time rulers from office. Now, research suggests that social networks could have an even greater effect
on elections, helping to increase the number of people who vote.
17. Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has been named the African Player of the Year for a second time.
Toure beat fellow Ivory Coast star and former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba into second place. He won the
2012 poll in a vote of head coaches or technical directors of countries affiliated to the Confederation of
African Football.
18. Reshma Saujani launched an organisation called “Girls Who Code”. Her goal is to get more girls
interested in science and technology. And she says the underrepresentation of women in the fields of
science, technology, engineering and mathematics, also known as STEM, is caused by a bigger societal
issue.“Girls and boys perform about the same in maths and science. So there蒺s not an aptitude issue.”
19. Tablet computers are one of the best-selling products this year. Brian Tong is Senior Editor of CNET.com.
He says the Apple iPad Mini is one of the most popular tablets. One of Apple蒺s biggest competitors is the
Google Nexus 7. The hardware inside is more powerful than what蒺s in the iPad Mini, but also it offers you
6- -
a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple蒺s maps.
20. The United States Environmental Protection Agency says only seven percent of plastic waste in the United
States is recycled each year. A new company in northern New York says it can increase that percentage. It
also says it can help the United States reduce the amount of oil it imports.
Section D
In this section, you will hear a short passage. There are 10 missing words or phrases. Fill in the blanks with
the exact words or phrases you hear. The passage will be read twice. Remember to write the answers on the
answer sheet.
If you yearn for smooth skin that glows with youth, the chances are that at some point you will have heard the
exhortation to drink lots of water in order to flush out those evil toxins and keep your skin healthy.
The exact amount people suggest varies. US-based advice tends to recommend eight glasses a day, while
in hotter climates people are advised to drink more to compensate for higher rates of sweating. But regardless
of the exact volume of water suggested, the principle behind the advice remains the same—taking extra water
on board will keep your skin hydrated. In other words, water acts like a moisturiser, but from the inside out.
This is such a common idea you might be surprised at the lack of evidence to back up. You might expect
there to be countless studies where people are separated into two groups, one assigned to sip water all day, the
other to drink a normal amount. Then the smoothness of the skin could be assessed a month or so later to
establish whether sipping more led to smoother skin.
In fact such studies are rare, partly because water can蒺t be patented, so it is hard to find anyone to fund
such research when there will be no new medication or cosmetic to sell that could repay the costs. A review
by the dermatologist Ronni Wolf at the Kaplan Medical Centre in Israel found just one study looking at the
effect of long-term water intake on the skin. But the results were contradictory. After four weeks, the group
who drank extra mineral water showed a decrease in skin density, which some believe suggests the skin is
retaining more moisture, while those who drank tap water showed an increase in skin density. But regardless
of the type of water they drank, it made no difference to their wrinkles or to the smoothness of their skin.
