M: Congratulations! You finally got admitted to Harvard!

W: Yeah, thanks! How did you know?

M: From your mother. She told my mom and my mother told me. We are all very happy for you.

W: Thank you. Are you coming to my farewell party on Saturday?

M: Sure, I am planning to. I don’t know where your new home is, though.

W: Do you know where Western Prince High school is?

M: Yes, it’s on the corner of Robson and Victoria, isn’t it?

W: Yeah, from there, continue on Victoria and take a right at Thomson. Go one block and you’ll see the statue in the middle of the intersection. Do you follow me so far?

M: Yes, fine. Please go on.

W: Turn left when you see the statue. That’s Flowings Street. Go one block on Flowings until you reach another intersection. Turn right, it will be on your left.

W: Thanks for the directions. I’ll see you there.

Listen to the following monologue and choose what the man describes.

M: It is a genre of Korean music which was very popular in the 19th century. It is mostly about the love and lives of people. It is a vocal and percussion music peformed by two people. Its name has two meanings combined - "a place where many people gather," and "song." In its performance, one person sings and stands with a folding fan held in one hand. The fan is waved to emphasize his motions and is unfolded to show changes of scene. The other person produces rhythm, not only by playing beats but also by making vocal sounds. The audience is supposed to show their response during the performance, similar to the shouts of "Olé" during flamenco performances.

Listen to the following conversation and choose the correct relationship between the two people.

W: Hi, Mr. Brown. How's your new place working out for you?

M: Hello. Well, Mrs. Nelson, that's what I would like to talk to you about. I want to talk to you about the noise! Would you mind talking to the resident in 4B and ask him to keep his music down, especially after ten p.m.?

W: Ohhh. me?

M: Yes. The music is blaring almost every night, and it is your job to take care of things.

W: Hey, I just collect the rent. Besides, the man living there is the owner's son, and he's a very important person. Hey, I'll see what I can do. Anything else?

M: Well, yes. Could you talk to the owners of the property next door about the harsh odor drifting this way?

W: Well, the area is designated for agricultural and livestock use, so there's nothing much I can do.

M: You have to be kidding. Nothing can be done about it?

W: Hmmm... okay, I will talk to the owners of the property and find a way not to offend the neighbors.

M: I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

Listen to the following conversation and figure out how much the woman has to pay.

M: Are you being served?

W: No, I am trying to find an MP3 player which is on sale.

M: Let me see. We have two models on sale: the latest model for promotion and last-year's model. Each is 10 percent off. Which one do you prefer?

W: What were the original prices?

M: Both of them were $200, but last-year's model comes with one more item.

W: What do you mean by "one more item"?

M: You can buy two for the price of one.

W: That's an attractive offer. I'll take it.

M: You can get another 10 percent off the original price, if you have a membership card.

W: I have one, so I get 20% off in total. What a lucky day!

M : Picture this! You park your car, and your worst nightmare happens! When you come back, it's gone! It can happen anywhere: at the store, at work, even outside your own house!

Listen to the following monologue and choose what the woman describes.

M: Paper made from wood makes it possible to produce cheap novels, school textbooks and all kinds of books available to the general public. However, this paper contains acid which can eventually destroy it from within. Libraries today have to consider how to keep their old collections from being destroyed. Books printed between 1850 and 1950 are in danger. To ensure the proper care of books, one should consider the possibility of chemical changes that affect the cover and the text. Books are best stored in minimal lighting, definitely out of direct sunlight, at cool temperatures, and at moderate humidity.

Listen to the following conversation and choose what is NOT true.

M: I’m really glad we could get together. You know, it’s been so long since I saw you. I don’t even know whether you like your new job.

W: Well, basically, it’s awful.

M: Why? When you were interviewing a few weeks ago, you sounded really excited. You told me you really wanted the job.

W: Yeah, I did, then. Or at least I thought I did. But once I figured it all out, it got pretty boring. I still haven’t found the right job.

M: What do you mean, "the right job"?

W: You know. Something you really love— something you can throw yourself into— something that's challenging.

M: So the job you have now isn't challenging?

W: Nope, not really. It’s become a grind. Same old, same old. I’ve been looking around for something else.

M: What is it you don’t like about your job right now?

W: I’m just a clerk. I'm qualified to be an office manager, but I spend most of my time on paperwork. My skills aren't being used.

M: But someone has to do that job, right? Isn't it important?

W: Well, yes.

M: Hey. Be glad you're working. Every job has its ups and downs.

W: Yeah, but...

M: If I were you, I'd think twice before I left a stable job.

W: OK, I'll give it some thought.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose the man's best response to the woman's last statement.

M: Hi, Janet! Guess who I ran into at the movie theater yesterday?

W: I don't know. Who was it?

M: It was Grace!

W: Oh, really? How's she doing these days?

M: She said she's been really busy lately.

W: Huh? Is that all she said? And I guess she didn't mention that she owes me some money.

M: No, I didn't hear anything about you. Is that true?

W: Yeah, two months ago, she asked if I'd lend her 20 dollars, and she told me that she'd pay me back in a week.

M: Then, what happened?

W: She has been avoiding me since then.

M: That's too bad. It seems that you lost both a friend and the money.

W: You're telling me. There is nothing more I can do.

M:_____________________________________________________.

Listen to the following monologue, and answer the question.

W: A farmer wished to buy a strong donkey, and wanted to make sure that it was the right one before he bought it. He told the owner that he'd like to try out the donkey for a day, and the owner agreed. He took the donkey home and put it in the backyard with his other donkeys. The next day, the new donkey stayed away from the strong donkeys and sat beside the laziest and weakest one. Seeing this, the farmer decided not to buy the donkey and took it back to its owner. Its owner asked how he knew it was not good in just one day. In this situation, what would the farmer most likely say to the owner?

(M)Farmer : Well,

Listen to the following conversation, and choose the man's best response to the woman's last statement.

W: Well, I'm pretty impressed. How long have you been doing this?

M: Several years ago my son, Nick, was in an accident and lost his legs, so we needed to make some changes to our house so that my son could move around more easily. But I couldn't afford it. Since then, I've made all the renovations by myself.

W: I think it must have required a lot of skills. How did you learn them?

M: I went to a school to learn cabinetmaking and electrical wiring. My wife, Lene, joined me there later to learn plumbing.

W: What kinds of changes did you make in your house?

M: We widened halls and made a big bathroom for my son. Just imagine the problems my son would have in a regular house. We wanted him to feel comfortable and independent in our house.

W: So what are you working on now?

M: ____________________________________________________.

Listen to the following conversations and choose the one that is NOT correct.

① M: I'd better get going or I'll be late for school.

W: Okay. It was good to see you again.

② M: What do you think about this black suit for the party this Saturday?

③ M: Excuse me. Where's the men's locker room?

W: It's at the end of the hall.

④ W: Do you work here?

M: Yes. Do you need any help?

⑤ M: I'd like some low-fat milk with my coffee.

W: How many copies do you need?

Listen to the following conversation and choose the incorrect information from the reservation form.

W: Hello. Sunshine Hotel. May I help you?

M: Yes, I'd like to reserve a room for two people on the 21st of March. Oh, are you all booked that night?

W: Well, no... we do have one suite available and the view of the city is great. It's only $200 dollars, plus 10% tax.

M: Do you have a cheaper room available either on the 20th or the 22nd?

W: Well, would you like a smoking or a non-smoking room?

M: Non-smoking, please.

W: Okay, we do have a few rooms available on the 20th... the view is not good, though; we're full on the 22nd, unless you want a smoking room.

M: Well, how much is the non-smoking room on the 20th?

W: $80 dollars, plus 10% room tax.

M: Okay, that'll be fine.

W: All right. Could I have your name, please?

M: Yes. Bob Maexner. M-A-E-X-N-E-R.

W: Okay, Mr. Maexner, we look forward to seeing you on March 20th.

Man: Okay. Goodbye.

Listen to the following monologue and choose the instruction that is NOT mentioned.

M: With warm weather and sunny days, you may think.... there's nothing better than exercising outdoors. But summer's heat can raise your body's temperature as high as five degrees Fahrenheit above normal.

Well, here are some tips to help you enjoy summer and beat the heat. First, keep hydrated. Drinking enough fluids, whether it's water or a sports drink, is imperative when exercising in hot or humid weather.

Watch the intensity of your exercise. Start off slowly and gradually build up speed as your body becomes accustomed to the heat. Work out during off-peak heat hours, get started early in the morning or try exercising in late afternoon after the temperature starts to drop.

Wear lightweight and loose clothing and avoid dark colors, which absorb the sun's rays. If you feel fatigued, continue your workout on another day. When you're done, chill out with a fruit smoothie. It will cool you down.

Listen to the following conversation and choose what is true.

M: Honey, aren't you dressed yet? We need to get going.

W: Dressed for what?

M: The jazz concert, remember?

W: The concert? Oh, no. It's not tonight, is it?

M: Yeah, it's tonight, and it starts in a little over an hour.

W: I'm sorry. I remember you mentioning it a few days ago, but it slipped my mind. So I forgot to call the baby sitter. Why don't you just go by yourself?

M: I hate going places without you. And these tickets cost a bundle. I really don't want to waste the other ticket.

W: Yeah, I know. Well, there must be someone else who'd like to go. I'm so tired.  I don't really feel like going, anyway.

M: Who am I going to call? It's pretty short notice.

W: Well, let me think. What about Harry?

M: Harry's out of town.

W: Hmm. I'm trying to remember who likes jazz.... I know! What about Dad?

M: Your father?

W: Well, why not?

M: Well... we don't have much in common. I won't know what to say to him.

W: You've got music in common. Dad loves jazz, and he loves to go to concerts. Besides, it's time you two guys started doing things together. Give him a call. I'm sure he'd be delighted.

M: Well... it's really short notice, but... all right.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose what the man is supposed to do.

W: As you know, I'm supposed to take a trip to Cheju-do next week.

M: Did you make reservations for the place you are staying at?

W: I'm working on it. I'm considering a small hotel. But it's not easy to find the right one.

M: Do you want me to make reservations for you?

W: No, I can handle it. I'd like to choose the place on my own.

M: Just tell me what I can do for you.

W: Then, why don't you rent a car for me?

M: Sure. No problem. What kind of vehicle do you want?

W: The same kind as I have now, if possible. You know, I want a vehicle that I'm used to.

M: I see what you mean. Anyway, have a wonderful trip.

Listen to the conversation, and choose how the woman is probably feeling.

[Telephone rings.]

W: Hello.

M: Hello. May I speak to the head of the household?

W: Who is this please?

M: This is Peter Edward from ABC Telecom. This evening only, I have a special deal for you. I just have to verify some information. Can you spare two minutes of your time?

W: Sorry, I am not interested. Thank you anyway.

M: Oh, I won't take much of your time. This service will save you a lot of money and there’s no obligation! Try the service for three months and if you are not satisfied you can…

W: Excuse me. I like the telephone service I have. I don't have the slightest interest in yours, sorry!

M: Well, I think you’ll find we offer many special advantages that other phone companies do not provide.

W: Again, I’m really sorry, Mr. Edward. I just came back from work and it’s dinner time. Besides, the deal with my current company is very satisfactory.

M: Oh, can you tell me what it is?

W: I’d like to, but I’m really too busy. Thanks, anyway. Bye.

Listen to the interview and choose what is NOT true.

W: Hi, welcome to our program. Many people sent me questions to ask you, regarding our computerized future. First, I'm wondering if e-mail is going to replace the post office in the future.

M: E-mail won't replace the post office, but it will replace a lot of the paper which post offices and overnight services carry around today.

W: Do you worry your child won't learn penmanship because there's always a keyboard and a printer nearby?

M: When I was in school, I always felt it was unfair that kids who had bad handwriting were penalized at grade time. Obviously, everybody needs to learn basic writing skills. We want our kids to have a full complement of basic communications skills. I'm a lot more concerned that kids who only use calculators and never learn to do multiplication and division by hand may fail to grasp the basics of mathematics.

W: Will there be any use for pencils and paper in the future?

M: People will use pencils and paper for a long time to come, but they won't use them as much as they do now.

W: Will a person be able to work in the future without having any computer skills?

M: There will still be jobs for people without computer skills, but a smaller percentage than exist today. The proportion of the workforce that lacks computer skills will decrease as people not having those skills get retrained or retire. Most young people have computer skills or at least an enthusiasm to get them.

W: Oh, wow, you're right. Alright then... thank you, I'll be back after the commercial. Stay tuned!

Listen to the following, and choose what the purpose of the monologue is.

M: Welcome to Collins Library. In the lower level, you can find bound journals, thesis and dissertation check-in, microfilms, and copy machines. On the first floor, there are loan and reserve desks, a reference desk, an electronic information center, group study and presentation rooms, and study areas.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose the woman.

W : Can I help you?

M : Yes. I tried to get this stain out, but it didn't come out. Do you think you can help me?

W : Let me see. It looks like a grease stain. Did you try to fix your car without taking your jacket off, or something?

M : Yeah. The other day I checked the oil level.

W : Ah, that's when you must have got this stain on your sleeve. I think it'll come off.

M : Good. When can I pick up my suit?

W : Tomorrow afternoon around 5 o'clock.

M : Could you make it tomorrow morning? I have to wear it to a meeting that starts at 11.

W : Well, I'll try, but I can't promise. Why don't you call us tomorrow morning?

M : I sure will.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose what is NOT correct.

W: Air France reservations. How can I help you?

M: I'd like some information about flights from Edinburgh to Paris, on Sunday afternoon, please.

W: Certainly. Let me check.... OK. There's one flight at 14:45, and two later flights at 16:00 and 18:00. And you're going to transfer at Heathrow.

M: What time does the first flight arrive?

W: It arrives at 18:45.

M: And when do the later flights arrive?

W: The 16:00 gets in at 20:50, and the 18:00 at 22:25.

M: Right, I've got that. Could you tell me the time of flights from Bordeaux to London, travelling on Friday?

W: One moment, please.... Right, there's just one Air France flight daily. It leaves at 14:40 and arrives at London at 15:10.

M: Can you check if British Airways flies from Bordeaux to London?

W: Sorry, sir. I don't have any information about British Airways. I can give you their telephone number.

M: No, thanks.

Listen to the monologue and identify the option that the speaker's aunt might have said to her second daughter.

My aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three children and they were all born in the States. Her eighteen year old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speaks Korean very well, too. Though she has no problems talking with her parents, she still doesn't understand Korean humor, and there are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old, and she doesn't want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about. The third child is a twelve year old son. He speaks English to his parents and my aunt speaks Korean to him as she does to the second daughter. He also has a problem communicating with his parents. My aunt is trying to teach him to speak both languages very well, but it is very hard for him because he speaks English all day and does not understand why he should learn to speak Korean.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose why the woman can recognize the man.

M: There are a lot of people in this room, aren't there?
W: Yes, I didn't know it would be so crowded.

M: Uh....Do you mind if I share your book just for today's class? I haven't bought mine yet.

W: Yeah, no problem. By the way, haven't we met somewhere before?

M: I'm not sure... Were you in Mrs. Brown's English class last semester?

W: I had the English class but mine was Mr. Davis'. How about Mr. Richards' Science class?

M: Well. I don't think so. Maybe we met at the cafeteria or the Club Festival last week.

W: Yes! That was it! You were next to me in the line to register for the Club Festival!

M: Nice to see you again! My name's Mike Coleman and I'm the head of the Invention club.

W: Oh, are you? Nice to meet you. I'm Jenny Lee.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose what the woman did NOT ask the man to do.

W: Hey, neighbor. How's it going?

M: Fine. How about you?

W: Okay, huh, by the way, I am going on a business trip this weekend, and I was wondering if you could take care of my pet while I'm gone. You know my cat, Foxy, don't you?

M: Yeah. My hand still hurts from the last incident.

W: Hey, she's just a playful little beast.

M: Oh yeah.

W: Just feed her one can of cat food per day and make sure she has plenty of water in her dish.

M: Oh.

W: And then, take her for a walk around the block once a day. Ah, and then, she likes to watch the 3:00 Survival Game on Channel 4.

M: What?

W: And brush her teeth after you give her a snack around 4:00.

M: Wow, you love her so much.

W: And, then brush her fur for about twenty minutes. She tends to shed this time of year.

M: Ah, what?

W: And then scratch her around the ears. Otherwise, she feels neglected.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose why the woman called the man.

(The telephone rings)

M: Hello?

W: Good afternoon. I'm calling from Goyang Zoo. Do you have any time to talk?

M: I guess so. What can I do for you?

W: Goyang Zoo wants to purchase two tigers from China. As you know, Siberian tigers are very rare, so they're very expensive.

M: Yes, I've heard that hunters have killed most of them. What a shame!

W: That's right. We want to buy one male and one female and let them breed.

M: I think that's such a great idea. But why are you calling me?

W: Well, because tigers are so expensive, we're asking people who have visited our zoo to send us money to help pay for them. Can you help us?

M: That sounds good, but I'll have to give it some more thought.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose what is true.

M: I want to get some information on package tours, please.

W: Where would you like to go?

M: Kyoto or perhaps Shanghai.

W: Well, we have some very good package tours available for five nights, six days.

M: How much do they cost?

W: To Kyoto is $ 900 and to Shanghai is a little more.

M: Excuse me, which would you recommend?

W: Well, it's up to your company. If you intend to take a trip with your parents, Kyoto is better and with your friends, Shanghai is preferable.

M: Is there anything special about the two areas?

W: Hmmm.... in Kyoto you can visit lots of historical temples and palaces, and Shanghai is one of the most popular places for shopping. You can get any item you want at a reasonable price. Most of all you'll be amazed at the wonderful night tour. You won't regret that.

M: It seems both places are so attractive. At the moment it's not easy to choose one. I need to talk with my family and I'll let you know later. I enjoyed meeting you.

W: It's my great pleasure as well.

Listen to the following conversation, and choose what the woman did NOT mention.

Answering machine(M) :

Hello, James Kim here. I'm sorry I can't answer your call personally, but if you leave your name and phone number after the tone, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you.

Tenant(W) :

This is Mary Jones, the tenant of the apartment on Dikson St. I'm calling to inform you of the problems I'm struggling with in your apartment. Your apartment is completely furnished with the latest appliances, but the refrigerator door is broken. I'm improvising by pushing a box against it to keep it shut. The bathtub is clogged and the sink has a few leaks. The broken tile in the shower needs to be replaced, and the window is another slight problem. The window-frame was broken, so I've put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow. I don't know how long I can survive under these conditions. I'm waiting for you to call back as soon as you hear this message. Bye.

27번부터 30번까지는 들려주는 내용을 듣고, 질문에 맞는 답을 고르는 문제입니다. 듣는 내용은 한 번만 방송됩니다.

[27～28] Listen to the following talk and answer the questions.

M: Wildlife experts believe that animals' more acute hearing and other senses might enable them to hear or feel the Earth's vibration, and thus warn them of an approaching disaster long before people can realize what's going on.

You probably remember the tsunami that struck Southeast Asian regions a few years ago, right? Well, as many of you know, the massive tsunami in December 2004 was caused by a powerful earthquake off the coast of northern Sumatra. The giant waves rolled through the Indian Ocean and killed more than 150,000 people in a dozen countries.

However, relatively few animals have been reported dead. According to the Indo-Asian News service, buffaloes, goats, and dogs were found unharmed along India's Cuddalore coast while thousands of people perished there. The news service also reported that flamingos, which breed that time of year at a wildlife sanctuary in India, flew to higher ground before the tsunami hit.

Some experts cite anecdotes like these and claim that animals can sense impending danger by detecting subtle or abrupt shifts in the environment.

Which of the following best describes the main idea of the talk?

Which is NOT mentioned in the talk?

[29～30] Listen to the following talk and answer the questions.

W: Do you have trouble falling asleep at night because you can't stop thinking about yesterday's work or planning tomorrow's? Or, do you find yourself spending too much time at work without enough time for leisure? Today, we'll talk about the problem that most of us experience every day - the "stress".

In modern society, many people are at dangerous levels of stress without even realizing it. Well... some of the most common warning signs are fatigue, dry eyes, sleeping problems, which mean either you can't fall asleep at night or you wake up often throughout the night. Or, you may experience a loss of appetite or sudden stomach pains. So, one of the key issues is to help people realize that some of these problems are associated with too much stress.

Okay... Then, how can we make our lives less stressful? Any idea? (pause) Well, it is very important to become aware of potentially stressful situations and avoid them. Plus, one of the most effective steps we can take is to find a balance between work and play.

What is the talk mainly about?

Which of the following symptoms of excessive stress is not mentioned?
