A．like

B．as

C．like as

D．as like

Man: No, I bought it when I was in Hong Kong last spring. The shoes, shirt, and tie I already had. Do you think they look good together？

Woman: They look very nice. The whole outfit looks great. That color tie really goes well with the suit. Did you get it in Hong Kong, too？ It's really unusual looking.

Man: No, I don't remember where I got the tie, but I make a point of buying all my suits when I go out of town. The suits at these local department stores are too expensive and, in my opinion, not very attractive.

Woman: I know what you mean. I don't much like going shopping around here, either. The choices are not very good.

What did the man buy？

A．A shirt.

B．A tie.

C．A suit.

D．A pair of shoes.

Man: That's quite a load.

Woman: Yes. I know it's going to be a lot of work, but it should be an interesting semester. And I'm not going to have to work this term because I managed to save quite a bit of money from my summer job at the cannery. So I should have enough time to study.

Man: That's good. I'm going to have to work twenty hours a week at the library.

Woman: What do you do there？ Do you like it？

Man: I shelve books on the third floor. Sometimes it gets monotonous, but the pay isn't bad. And I can arrange my hours to suit my class schedule.

Woman: What are you taking this semester？

Man: French, Biology, and Accounting. I like the French and Biology instructors, but the Accounting professor is very dry and boring.

Woman: Do you have Professor Stillwell？ I've heard he's terrible.

Man: Yes. Do you know of anybody who's better？

Woman: My friend Antonio took Accounting with Professor Atkins last spring. He said that she was wonderful—knew her subject well and had a great sense of humor.

Man: I'll have to check to see if she's teaching this semester. If she is, I'll try to transfer into her class.

(20)

A．Freshman composition.

B．Western civilization.

C．Physics.

D．French.

听力原文：M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.

W: The seasons？

M: Yeah, you know, how cold it is in winter, what it is like when the days are so short.

W: So what is it like？

M: Well, it is cold, very cold in winter, sometimes as cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course when you go out, you'll wrap up warm. But inside in the houses it's always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in a good winter.

W: And what about the darkness？

M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there's only one hour of daylight, so. you really look forward to the spring. It is sometimes a bit depressing, but you see the summers are amazing. From May to July, in the North of Sweden, the sun never sets. It's still light in the midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.

W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.

M: That's right, but it's wonderful. You want to stay up all night. And the Swedes make the most of it. Often they start work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They like to work hard, but play hard too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I'm not sure this is a good thing.
