11. W: The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the workplace. Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work.
M: Yeah. In the United States, women earn only 70 percent of what men do for the same job. It's a situation that has to be changed.
Q: What does the man say about women?
12. W: With the advent of the genetic map we know where everything is, but do we know where to go with it?
M: Your map seems to differ largely from my geographic map!
Q: What does the man imply?
13. W: Tim, I hate to tell you this, but we're caught in a budget crunch, and we must lay you off. I'm so sorry.
M: I understand. I've enjoyed my time here, and I'm confident I can find something else.
Q: What is the man's response?
14. W: Good morning, Mary, I just saw your friend Tom coming out of the cafeteria.He looks a little changed.Did he get his hair cut or someting?
M: Yeah, several days ago actually.And scarcely any one has noticed.
Q: What does the woman mean?
15. M: Excuse me, but could you tell me how to get to the Friendship Hotel? I thought it was on this corner, but I seem to have made a mistake.
W: I'm sorry, but I am a stranger here myself. Maybe you can try calling them. There is a phone over there outside the department store.
Q: What does the woman mean?
16. M: How is it going, Mary? You look a little overwhelmed.
W: Exactly. You know, I've got a million things to do and all of them have to be finished in the next 30 minutes.
Q: What does the woman mean?
17. M: Industries that pollute should either be closed down or made to clean up their act. I'm really tired of breathing dirty air.

M: And he dropped out of college to become a success. I wonder if there is a lesson in that.
Q: What do we learn about Dell from the conversation?'
Now you'll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: I'm divorcing my husband.
M: How long have you been married?
W: Thirteen years.
M: Do you have children?
W: Yes, and I have to protect them from any more harm from my husband's irresponsibility.
M: So, what are your grounds for divorce?
W: Well, first of all, he keeps changing jobs.We've had to move four times in thirteen years.
M: And you believe that will be good grounds for divorce?
W: I do have a right to stability for my children and myself, don't I?
M: Aren't they his children, too?
W: But my husband is not fulfilling his duties.
M: Is he paying the bills?
W: Well, yes, but we just live around the poverty line. Our kids are being teased by other kids at school because we can't dress them in good clothes! We have to live in a small apartment and drive an old car.
M: Does the car run?
W: Yes, but ,it looks old!
M: Do you yell at him and call him names?
W: Well, he yells at me!
M: So, these are the reasons to not honor your husband. Are you going to give him joint custody in this divorce?
W: No, just visitation rights.
M: Why?
W: Because the law permits me to.
M: And, what about the financial demands of this divorce?
W: I'm demanding half of all we have, which isn't much, and large support payments.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What does the woman think of her husband?
20. Which of the following is NOT a reason for her to divorce her husband?
21. What will the husband probably get if his wife wins the case of divorce according to the conversation?
Conversation Two
M: The Republican Party in America is opposing stem cell research. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, someone would do that.
W: Stem cell research sounds pretty impressive, I'll admit. But just what is it?
M: Well, a stem cell is a special type of cell. It is a general cell that, when it divides, can become any specific type of cell.
W: You mean, a stem cell can become a heart cell? or a brain cell or a kidney cell?
M: That's about it. Stem cells are a part of the body's maintenance and repair system. When they divide, they can become any cell type.
W: I guess there would be some tremendous medical advantages in that sort of research.
M: You've said a mouthful. Recently, scientists were able to help a man who lost a jawbone from cancer. They recreated bone material for his jaw from stem cells. What it means is that since the new bone was created out of the person's own cells, there was no problem with rejection because the DNA was the same.
W: I bet the person was delighted. Why would anyone oppose that sort of research? It would seem to have endless potential to benefit the human race.
M: I agree, but there are people who think we should not interfere with nature and manipulate "what is natural".
W: It's easier to hold such a narrow view if you're not in a position to need the benefits of the research. If you're missing a jawbone because of cancer, you probably would support the research.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What is special about a stem cell?
23. When can a stem cell become another cell type?
24. According to the conversation, why do some people oppose stem cell research?

Passage One
There are many ways to "get rich quick". Numerous companies have promised customers that if you follow their guidelines or buy their goods you will be guaranteed to get rich quick. Although many of these methods don't work, at least they are legal ways to get rich. Unfortunately many individuals prefer to use illegal methods of getting rich quick. There are many illegal ways of getting rich. Printing illegal money has been a method many criminals have chosen to get rich quick.
The printing of illegal money is one of the oldest crimes in history. It was a serous problem during the 19th century when banks issued their own money, at the time of the Civil War, it was estimated that one-third of all money in circulation was illegal, the introduction of U.S. dollars in 1863 was expected to solve the problem of illegal money. However, the dollar bills were soon copied so extensively it became necessary for the government to take action. On July 5, 1865, the United States Secret Service was established to stop people printing illegal money.
Although illegal printing of money is less of a problem now than it was one hundred years ago, it is still an issue that is being addressed worldwide. Advanced design, copying and publishing technology are making it easier to produce high-quality illegal money as well as commercial checks, traveler's checks and money orders. A new generation of illegal money printing came when computerized color copiers became capable of producing high-quality copies.This allowed documents to be changed, and false documents to be produced without having the original one. These copiers can easily produce documents that look genuine.
As technology continues to improve, so does the ability of criminals to fool the police as well as the general public. This has become a worldwide method for criminals to get rich quick.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What has become a worldwide method for criminals to get rich quick?
27. What did the United States first do to combat counterfeiting?
28. What allows for the creation of false documents without the original one?
Passage Two
Sex influences an individual's attitude towards work. Studies show that for most women family comes first, and careers are less important to them compared with men. But women are, more than men, concerned with social relationships in the workplace, physical conditions of work, shorter working hours and work guarantees. These attitudes are related to traditional social roles, where professional work belongs to the man, as the main source of income for the family, and the woman stays at home.The results of studies in Eastern Europe show that when there are not enough jobs, society thinks that men have more right to them than women. But, generally, the higher the professional qualification of workers of both sexes, the more insignificant are those differences in their attitudes towards work.
In industrial countries the value of work to the individual is influenced by the occupational group to which that person belongs. We can divide workers into two broad groups: non-manual workers with higher education, and manual workers. The attitudes of these two groups are so-called "ideal" types.
For those doing non-manual work, which requires special training, the work itself is the highest value; it becomes their "way of living". Even the time and way of their leisure is adapted to their work. For such people the main value of work is in possibilities of self-expression, self-realization and personal development. Work for them has social value as well-it is seen as work for the common good and social progress, duty, for human kind, and so on.
People doing manual work are rarely oriented to work itself. Their interests and desires are mainly directed to their family and circle of friends. Work for them is the possibility to maintain family, which is why insurance of their work, payment, work conditions are very important for them. Work is important as it fills their time, is the source of money, gives possibility for social integration and develops feeling of self-esteem.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What factors shape attitudes towards work?
30. Where were the studies showing that society thought men had more right to a job carried out?
31. What is the highest value for people doing non-manual work?
Passage Three
During the 1950s in America, young people were encouraged to be active in society. Both political parties had organizations aimed at encouraging the very young to be involved in politics. The Democratic Party sponsored Teenage Democrats, or TADs as they were known, and the Republican Party sponsored Teenage Republicans or TARs. While adults served as their sponsors, both groups were encouraged to act independently.
They had their own local and state organizational structures with elected leadership. They planned and held events directly related to helping elect candidates of their respective parties. Members did a lot of the boring drudge work in campaigns, all the while learning how to effectively pursue electoral politics.
Then something happened. During the 1960s, vast movements for social change began to sweep across America. At first the traditional party elders must have seen their youth groups as shelters against change, as defenders of their traditional values. To their disappointment, this turned out not to be the case.
Instead, the parties found themselves challenged by their own young people. Many TADs and TARs united across party lines to support lowering the voting age to eighteen.In doing so, of course, they were only using the political system to promote their own interest.While this was the sort of activity expected by their elders, it was in many ways, very traditional political activity.
And in the Democratic Party, they went even further. The insurgent campaign of senator Eugene McCarthy was a youth campaign with many young people acting in leading roles. And, in 1972, the entire Democratic Party was rocked when a youth-led revolt swept a very liberal senator to the presidential nomination.
While there were certainly many other forces in society involved in all of this, it was worth noting that neither of the two main political parties has shown much interest in youth groups since the 1960s and 1970s.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What surprised the traditional party elders during the 1960s?
33. What does it mean to say that the Democratic Party was shaken in 1972?
34. What issue caused young people to unite across political lines?
35. According to the passage, why don't political parties show any interest in youth groups anymore?
Section C
When I speak about the development of the economy of this land, I am speaking in terms of sustainable development. This means that we (36) recognize that the development of the economy is dependent on the land, and the continuing good health of the natural (37)environment that has sustained our people for thousands of years.
Sustainable development also means development that includes all our people, that draws on the talents and on the collective wisdom we have (38)inherited from all of our ancestors. When these three elements are in (39)balance-the protection of our land, economic development and the full (40) participation of all our people, then I believe economic development can be sustainable.
Residents of this land are proud of their natural and cultural heritage, their strong relationship to the (41) landscape and to its resources, their communities, their wildlife, and their rich and important history. Our Territorial Parks not only (42) demonstrate and protect these important natural and cultural areas, but they (43) celebrate them and proudly show them locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Only through wise use and careful management will the value of this land's wildlife be maintained for the benefit of future generations. (44) Successful management requires a cooperative and coordinated effort on the part of government and resource users. This is the founding principle of co-management.
Our economy is an exciting mix of new growth driven by markets we don't control, and our traditional way of life. (45) Our connections to the land, which we call the traditional economy, are often overlooked by outside observers assessing this land's wealth and economic future.
Climatic change has been called the most important environmental issue the world has ever faced. And, (46) scientists are now projecting with some level of confidence that the warming of our Earth's climate will be much greater in our polar regions. We are doing our part by working towards the development and implementation of a strategy to address climate change in this land.
