Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

2. M: Excuse me. I’m here to see Mr. White.

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

In addition to exercising regularly, eating a good breakfast is considered by many health experts to be a significant part of a successful way of reduction plan. After a night of starvation, the body needs to be refreshed with enough nutrients in order to maintain a high level of energy throughout the day. Several nutritionists suggest that dieters should eat up to at least one third of their daily calories at breakfast time. These calories should be in the form of a balanced meal of nutritious food. As is known to all, a balanced meal usually consists of key elements like proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and so on. People who’re on a diet need a variety of foods to assure a constant supply of nutrients that their bodies need. If a well-balanced diet is not followed, the dieter may become sleepy, anxious, or feel out of sorts. If a poor diet is maintained for a long period of time, the dieters may become short of essential vitamin. And the lack of vitamin can cause serious health problems. For these reasons, many doctors recommend that everyone, especially those on diet, start the day with up to one-third of the daily requirement of nutrients in the form of a well-balanced breakfast.

Questions:

11. What is the passage mainly about?

12. What do many nutritionists and doctors suggest the dieters do?

13. According to the speaker, what will a poor diet probably lead to?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

Air quality in Britain has improved considerably in the last 30 years. Total emissions of smoke in the air have fallen by over 85 percent since 1960. London and other major cities no longer have the dense “smogs” of the 1950s and in central London winter sunshine has increased by about 70 percent since the late 1950s. However, new concerns have arisen, especially over the emissions from the growing number of motor vehicles and their possible impact on health. Measures have consequently been adopted to reduce extensively emissions from new vehicles.

The Environment Act 1995 provides a new framework for air quality management, including the publication by the government of a national strategy which will set air quality standards and targets for the pollutants causing the most concern. This was issued for consultation in August 1996, containing air quality targets for the year 2005. The Act also places new duties on local authorities to assess air quality in their boundaries and to prepare action plans where standards are not met or are unlikely to be met in future. Pilot schemes are being taken forward in 14 areas before full implementation in April 1997. Earlier regulation allows local authorities to declare “smoke control areas” within which the emission of smoke from chimneys is an offence. About two-thirds of the residences in big cities are covered by smoke control orders—around 6,340 are in force.

Questions:

14. Which of the following can prove the air quality in Britain has improved in the last 30 years?

15. What is a new concern for the British people mentioned in the passage? 

16. According to the passage, what can be inferred about the Environment Act?

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

W: Hello, is that John Smith?

M: Yes, speaking.

W: This is Marina from Central Travel. You asked me to find out some information for you about flights.

M: Oh, yes, thank you. Have you got it?

W: Well, I think I’ve got what you wanted.

M: Hold on, I just need to find my diary and a piece of paper...yes, I’m ready now.

W: So, you’ll go to Bangkok first, and then you want to come back to Hong Kong?

M: I planned to, but now I choose Tokyo as my first destination.

W: OK, I see. There are several flights to choose from, but the best ones for you seem to be with Japan Airlines and Singapore Airlines.

M: Is there much difference in the fares?

W: No, there’s not much to choose from on price. But the times are different.

M: Yes, that’s what I’m more concerned about. I can’t leave a conference until after lunch on the 18th of April.

W: Well, Singapore Airlines have a flight to Tokyo at 14:30 that day. Would you be able to make that?

M: I doubt it. When is the next one?

W: Japan Airlines have a flight at 16:00. Would that be better?

M: Oh yes, I’m sure I could make it to the airport in time to catch that one. Could you book it for me?

W: Yes, of course, but when do you want to come back to Hong Kong?

M: Could you book me flight on the 21st of April, please? I’m not so bothered what time it is that day. Just book me on whatever is available. Can you make the bookings now？

W: Yes, I’ll do it now. I’ve already got all your details, so I’ll send you an email as confirmation and we’ll send out the tickets at your convenience.

M: Fine. Thanks very much. Bye.
