After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Conversation One
W: [8] I’ve been thinking about moving off campus next semester.
M: Hmm... I don’t know if that’s a good idea as your mother and I would worry about you living all by yourself in an apartment so far from home. [9] And then there’s the expense, too. I’m not sure we can afford it.
W: Well, I wouldn’t be alone, actually. Three of my friends from the dormitory would share the place with me. And with four of us, it wouldn’t cost any more than living in the dorm.
M: Are you sure about that? [9] Rents in big cities are high, and then there’s the cost of electricity and gas. Have you factored those in?
W: We’ve budgeted for those, and for Internet and transportation. And if we move far enough from the city center, the rent is low enough for us to afford all of it.
M: What’s about the commute to and from campus? It sounds like you’ll be wasting several hours every day on the road instead of studying.
W: [10] It’s about an hour to campus, but there’s no reason I can’t study on the bus. After all, I did that during high school and my commute was even longer then.
M: That’s true. But I’m not sure why you want to leave campus and go through all that trouble when the cost is the same.
W: For a lot of reasons. We’d have a kitchen, so we could cook ourselves. And we’d each have our own bedroom, where we could study instead of going to the library. We just have more space and privacy.
M: [11] I’m not convinced that the benefits are greater than the disadvantages, but I’ll discuss this with your mother.
长对话一
女: 我一直在考虑下学期搬出校园。
男: 我不知道这是否是个好主意,因为你妈妈和我都会担心你一个人住在离家这么远的公寓里。
女: 而且还有费用问题。我不确定我们能负担得起。
男: 嗯,其实我不是一个人。我宿舍的三个朋友会和我合租。
女: 我们四个人住在一起,费用不会比住在宿舍贵。
男: 你确定吗?大城市的房租很高。还有电费和煤气费。你把这些都算进去了吗?
女: 我们已经把这些费用、网络费和交通费都算进去了。
男: 如果我们搬到离市中心足够远的地方,房租就足够低,我们就能负担得起所有这些费用。
女: 那往返学校的通勤费怎么办?听起来你每天要浪费好几个小时在路上,而不是用来学习。
男: 到学校大约一个小时,但我没理由不能在公交车上学习。
女: 毕竟我高中的时候也坐公交车,那时候通勤时间更长。
男: 没错,但我不明白为什么在费用相同的情况下,你还要离开校园,费尽周折。
女: 原因有很多。我们有厨房可以自己做饭,而且每个人都有自己的卧室,可以学习,不用去图书馆。我们能拥有更多空间和隐私。
男: 我不认为这样做利大于弊,但我会和你妈妈讨论一下。
