and I’m here to demonstrate my company’s new steam cleaner to Ms. Castellon in office 304.

Hello, Mr. Hobbs. If you parked in our lot, I’ll need the number from your license plate for our security team. Of course. It’s N17 B32. And do I have to show

a photo ID to enter this building? That’s not necessary, but you must wear a visitor’s badge at all times, which I’ll give to you now. Just remember to bring it back to

this counter to drop it off before you leave.

33. What is the man asked to provide?

Yes, you’re booked for ten thirty. Could I see a copy of your insurance policy? I’m sorry, but I forgot to bring it with me. Does that mean I have to cancel the appointment? Not at all. We can add that information to our system later. And could you please tell me where we can send the bill?

Questions 38-40 refer to the following conversation with three speakers. Maya, some of the food containers coming off the line are not up to the standards.

What’s wrong with them? Are the labels positioned incorrectly? No. They're not closed all the way, and the soup is spilling out. We need to talk to a supervisor about this. Mr. Germain is on duty. He’s right over there. Excuse me, Mr. Germain? Can I help you? Several of our soup containers are coming off the line without being properly sealed. That’s a major issue. I’ll call a technician right away.

38. Where is the conversation most likely taking place?

39. According to the women, what is the problem?

40. What does the man plan to do?

Questions 41-43 refer to the following conversation.

Isabelle, the supervisor from Timber Sports is pleased with the preliminary proposal for the magazine advertisements our team is creating for his company.

I’m glad to hear that. I think that their new treadmill is going to sell well. I agree. Since the equipment has a lightweight design, it is perfect for home use. Customers

can easily pick it up to move it. We should emphasize that point in the ad. That way, people will understand that they don’t have to have a large

space dedicated solely to this machine.

41. Who most likely are the speakers?

42. What are the speakers discussing?

43. What benefit of the product does the man mention? Go on to the next page.

renovation of the employee lounge yet. The contractor is free to begin the work right away, but we need budget approval first. Well, I was out of town yesterday. You know,

it might be easier to discuss this paperwork together, since you have all the details from the contractor. Could you meet today around four o’clock?

I’m sorry, but I’m taking the afternoon off because I have a checkup at my doctor’s office. How about first thing tomorrow morning? That works for me.

44. What is the conversation mainly about?

45. What does the man mean when he says, “I was out of town yesterday”?

46. What does the woman plan to do in the afternoon?

Questions 47-49 refer to the following conversation. I’ve reviewed the resumes we’ve received

so far for the assistant office manager position. There is a lot of interest in this job. However,

no one has the right qualifications. How can we find people with more experience?

Hmm ... we could ask our staff members if they know anyone who might be suitable. We

might find just the right person that way. Good idea! In that case, I’ll update our job

posting on the Web site with a new application deadline so that people have more time to apply.

47. What is the conversation mainly about?

48. What does the man suggest doing?

49. What does the woman plan to do?

All right. There’s a seat on the 3:25 train. It’s quite full, so we recommend

a maximum of one suitcase per person. Really? Well, I brought two suitcases.

Oh, I see. The smaller one can fit on the rack above your seat. And would you

like to sign up for our loyalty program? Maybe next time. I'm in a hurry because I

have to send an e-mail to my client, and I want to get to a quiet place.

to come up with ways to solve this problem. I’m open to any suggestions you may have.

Well, our advertising campaigns are showing high returns, but they can only go so far.

I think it’s the in- store customer experience that’s causing the trouble.

I agree. Employees need to have better knowledge of the merchandise so they can

respond to customer inquiries. Exactly, Andrea. We should not

only provide longer preparation time for new employees but also offer ongoing instruction.

You’re right. I’ll look over our budget now to see how much we could invest in this.

53. What is the purpose of the meeting?

54. What will the business most likely change?

55. What will the man do next?

Questions 56-58 refer to the following conversation.

Hello, Ms. Rhone. This is Bruce

from Union Apparel. I’m calling to thank you for contacting us about the missing

text in our online spring catalog. It was my pleasure. Since I noticed

the problem a few times, I guessed that your team was not aware of the issue.

You're right. You are the first person to mention it. We want to show our appreciation

for your assistance, so we’ll e-mail you a digital gift certificate that can be used

toward any of our clothing. Are you still using [email protected] as your primary address?

Yes, that’s right. o Okay. I'll go ahead and process that, and you’ll

receive it sometime tomorrow. Thanks again.

56. Why does the man thank the woman?

57. What information does the man want to verify?

58. What does the man say will happen tomorrow?

Questions 59-61 refer to the following conversation.

I’ve got some great news, Henry. Consumer Advice Magazine wrote an article about our

new Turbo-3 microwave, and the reviewer gave it the highest score possible. Because of this,

I anticipate a higher demand for this product. That’s wonderful, but we may have difficulty

keeping up the production levels. Some of our metal press machines keep breaking down

because they are very old. We need new ones. You know, the budget committee is meeting

next week. Would you be willing to present your ideas in a short talk explaining what we need?

Sure, I have some time to prepare that. Thanks. I’ll let Ms. Hayes know

that you’ll be in attendance.

Questions 62-64 refer to the following and information.

You’ve reached Lafayette Electronics. How may I help you?

Hello. I purchased a wide-screen laptop from your store a few months ago,

but now it needs to be repaired. All right, ma’am. Could you tell me

more about the problem? The warranty only covers certain situations.

Well, the battery was running out quickly, so I replaced it with a different brand’s battery. But

after that, the screen started flickering. Unfortunately, the warranty is not valid in

that situation. You can still get it repaired here, but there’s a charge. I can e-mail you

the price list if you’d like. Yes, please do. I’ll look

that over and decide what to do.

62. What kind of product is being discussed?

63. Look at the graphic. Which restriction applies to the woman’s warranty?

64. What does the woman say she will do? Go on to the next page.

Questions 65-67 refer to the following conversation and coupon.

Hi, Belinda. I’m just finishing up the ad for next week's anniversary sale. Twenty-five years

in business is quite an accomplishment, and I think we’ll see a lot of people that day.

I agree. And printing a coupon with the ad was a great idea.

Thanks! I think it will make our ad more noticeable. Here’s a draft of

the coupon. However, I’m worried about the discount on ovens. I think it’s too low.

You have a point. Let’s raise that by an extra five percent.

All right. I’ll hang up a notice in the break room today to inform employees of the change.

65. What is the purpose of the sale?

66. Look at the graphic. Which discount amount do the speakers agree to change?

67. What will the man do today?

Questions 68-70 refer to the following conversation and table.

Ms. Lee, it looks like your team is making good use of

the tablet computers we purchased last week. We certainly are. It makes it so much easier to

track our equipment inventory because we can access the software from anywhere. We know which

crew is using which tools at all times. So, for example, when a crew checks out

a lawn mower or tree trimmer for a project, you know exactly who has it?

Yes, and how long they plan to keep it. If you look at the screen here, you can see that we’re

expecting two items to be returned today. And I can tap on the code to find out more information.

68. What was recently purchased for the woman’s team?

has been sharing tips from her recently published book, Take Control. During the commercial break,

an online listener commented that he used Ms. Brown’s methods with a vendor recently,

in low satisfaction ratings from customers. Our employees take a long time to respond to e-mails

or return phone calls, and this is hurting our business. Through the techniques you learn today,

and the city will remove the coin-operated meters. City officials made the decision after calculating

that enforcing these parking zones was costing more than the revenue brought in. Those living

in the area are pleased because it will reduce their overall expenses. The free areas are

currently in the central district only, but the program may expand to other areas. This may be

a brochure for a European tour. I'm a little worried because he wants the finished design

by next week. That doesn’t give us much time. If this goes well, though, he could have a lot of

design business for us in the future. How about we meet right before the budget review to make

a plan? I’ll send you a list of the sites that are included on the tour. Prior to our meeting,

could you gather together some photos of these sites for us to use in the brochure?

97. What should the listener do before the meeting?

how employees will be affected by the merger with Canton International. I don’t have many answers

for you yet, as we just settled the agreement last week. It is clear that some employees may

be working on duplicate tasks, so we’ll have to do some restructuring. I’d like each of

you to type up an overview of your job duties and e-mail it to me. If you have any questions

about what information to include, please stop by my office. And remember, I’ve just relocated

to the third floor. You can find me at the end of the hallway, directly opposite the supply room.
