Narrator: Listen to a conversation between two roommates.
Man: Hey, Jen, the kitchen's a mess again. Didn't we agree to clean up right after we cook?
Woman: We did. Sorry, that was me last night. I had a paper due at midnight and totally forgot.
Man: It's OK, it happens. But maybe we should make a chart, so we each have specific days for the dishes and the trash.
Woman: That's a good idea. I'll make one this afternoon and put it on the fridge.
What is the man's concern?
AA. The woman missed a deadline.
BB. The kitchen was not cleaned.
CC. The refrigerator is broken.
DD. The woman cooked dinner too late last night.
Ver respuesta y explicación
Respuesta correcta: B. The kitchen was not cleaned.
Explicación
He opens with "the kitchen's a mess again" and reminds her they agreed to clean up right after cooking.
Her deadline is her excuse, not his concern; the fridge is only where the chart will go; and he complains that she didn't clean up, not about when she cooked.

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between two students.
Woman: Are you going on the geology field trip on Saturday?
Man: I'd like to, but I heard the bus leaves at six in the morning. That's really early.
Woman: It is, but the professor said we'll see rock layers that are almost impossible to find anywhere else in the state. And it counts as one of our lab sessions.
Man: Wait, really? So if I skip it, I'd have to make up a lab?
Woman: That's what the syllabus says.
Man: Well, then I guess I'm setting my alarm.
What makes the man decide to go?
AA. Skipping it would mean doing an extra lab later.
BB. The professor moves the departure to a later time.
CC. The woman offers to drive him there herself.
DD. He wants to take photos of the unusual rock layers.

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between two students.
Woman: Hey, Marcus. Did you get a chance to look at the slides I sent for our presentation?
Man: I did. They look good, but I think there's too much text on each slide. Professor Lee said she wants us to talk to the audience, not read to them.
Woman: That's true. Maybe we could move some of the details into our speaker notes.
Man: Good idea. And we could add a chart for the survey results instead of listing all the numbers.
Woman: OK. I'll make the chart tonight if you can cut down the text.
Man: Deal. Let's practice together on Thursday before class.
Why does the man say, "Deal"?
AA. To agree to practice the presentation on Thursday
BB. To accept the way the woman has divided the remaining work
CC. To show that he is satisfied with the slides as they are
DD. To accept the woman's offer to cut down the text herself
Ver respuesta y explicación
Respuesta correcta: B. To accept the way the woman has divided the remaining work
Explicación
The woman proposes a split: "I'll make the chart tonight if you can cut down the text." "Deal" accepts that arrangement (she does the chart, he shortens the text).
(A) Thursday practice is his own suggestion, made after "Deal". (C) He has just said the slides have too much text. (D) reverses the roles: he, not she, will cut the text.
