I. Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. M: The beef looks fresh.
W: But I would recommend the chicken which is tender. The beef is too salty and not juicy.
Question: What does the woman think of the chicken?
2. W: Jack contributed a lot of my survey on the evolution of fashion. I want to buy him a present like a scarf or a wallet.
M: I heard he likes reading. If I were you, I would buy him a set of classics.
Question: What does the man suggest the woman buy for Jack?
3. W: I’d like to have my hair colored. But you seem up to your neck.
M: Yes, we usually have a lot more customers on the weekend. Please take a seat. I’m afraid you have to be patient.
Question: Where does this conversation most probably take place?
4. M: Sorry, mom, I should have come back home earlier. I’ll never do it again.

W: Well, you are not alone.

M: They look so big. If only I hadn’t had my ankle twisted yesterday.

9. W: What an unsung hero you are. You never told me that you have been financially assisting the students for years.
M: Let the matter rest. It’s just between you and me.
Question: What does the man mean?
10. M: I hope there is hot water in the hotel after ten. I like to have a shower before bed, especially in winter.
W: But the front desk says hot water is available till 9: 00 pm.
Question: What can we learn from the conversation?

Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
A home energy checkup helps determine where your house is losing energy and money. When such problems are corrected your home will be more energy efficient. While a professional energy checkup provides a complete picture of your home’s energy use, a diligent self assessment can also help you find small problem areas. First, make a list of obvious air leaks. Check for indoor air leaks, such as gaps along the edge of the flooring and joints of the walls and ceiling. Also check the leaks on the outside of your home, especially in areas where two different building materials meet. Finally remember to check other places for leaks including windows, doors and switches. The potential energy savings from reducing leaks in our own may range from 10% to 20% per year. This do-it-yourself home energy checkup will not be as thorough as a professional home energy assessment, but it can help you highlight some of the easier areas to address. When walking through your home, keep a checklist of the areas you have inspected and the problems you have found. This list will help you decide which energy efficiency upgrade should be given priority to.
Now listen again
11. Which of the following is the most probable way to save energy in a house?
12. Why does the speaker recommend you to keep a check list?
13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1995 when he was teaching at Harvard University. On the day when Harvard celebrated its three hundred seventy-fifth anniversary before a large audience, he recited his poem composed in 1986 for the university three hundred and fiftieth anniversary. This 1986 poem relies on the power of repeating words and sounds. Heaney said in an interview, “There’s a kind of bell ringing quality to the poem, which makes it easy on the air.” He remembered writing just two poems during his early years at Harvard when he taught and read a lot. One poem is the anniversary poem. And the other is about learning the alphabets at a primary school. Heaney also recalled the physical Harvard where he had many happy moments. He said, “I still remember the excitement of driving around the campus and seeing the outlines of the houses. And I enjoyed a few quiet corners on campus where I would sit down and take a nap. The library at Adam’s house for one and the Woodbury poetry room for another. Then there was the yard. It was the inspiration for the anniversary poem and also a place that reminded me of my own boyhood in the countryside because it used to be a cow yard.”

14. For what purpose did Seamus Heaney compose his 1986 poem?
15. What is a feature of Seamus Heaney’s 1986 poem?

W: Hi, Professor White.
M: Hi, Maggie.
W: It’s been a week since you arrived at the city. Do you like your office?
M: Yeah, it’s great to have so much room and I love to see you.
W: I’m glad to hear that. Do you need any equipment or supplies?
M: Actually, there are a few things I’ve been thinking about.
W: OK. What do you need?
M: Well, I’ll give a presentation at an online conference next week. Is it possible to get a web camera for the computer?
W: No problem. It is already at the top of our agenda. We want to encourage using technology to communicate with overseas scholars rather than expensive traveling.
M: Exactly. It’s so much easier and cheaper to do things that way.
W: The department chair likes to hear that kind of thinking. Anything else?
M: Well, I hope I’m not asking too much, but can I get a new chair? This one is really uncomfortable.
W: I think that’s an old chair. Sorry about that. Is there a specific kind you want, like a folding chair or a rocking one?
M: I just like one that rises up and down and has arms.
W: Sure, I got it.
M: Thanks.

Tracking Customers?
Fluido, a Texas-based analytics company, recently released its new product, called FluidoPlus for free. It connects retailers (零售商) to a cloud-based analytics service using Wi-Fi. They then collect information about customer behaviour by monitoring the media access code (MAC) in every smart phone that enters the stores. This means that stores will be able to implement an analytics package to receive information that could help guide their marketing. With the information, store managers can measure the number of people who walk past the store and the number who come through the front door. Also, this information includes whether or not these people come in immediately or are convinced to do so by the shop front.
FluidoPlus has received a lot of criticism from consumers concerned about their privacy being invaded. But Fluido assures that the MAC data is scrambled (打乱), which means that no personally identifiable information is collected. The company also points to the fact that Fluido is a part of the group that initiated the Mobile Location Analytics code of conduct. These sets of rules require companies to receive customers’ agreement before they can collect any personal information.
Emily Carrless, a senior director at No Watching Please Co., believes that this technology ignores customers’ privacy. "This is a clear example of profit outweighing privacy," she said. "The use of tracking technology by shops in order to provide a better or more personalised service seems totally disproportionate." Carrless also stressed the importance of consumer awareness. She said that while the tracking technology was still developing, there was an obvious goal in mind to identify individuals. Companies like Fluido won't stop at general information like the number of customers who walk into stores. The long game is about identifying individuals, and this technology is very close to enabling Fluido to do that.
