SECTION 1:LISTENING TEST
Part A: Spot Dictation
Directions:? In? this? part? of the test,? you? will? hear? a? passage? and read the? same? passage? with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWET. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now let's begin Part A with Spot Dictation.
??? As? a linguist,? my interests lie in the study of sign languages.? A? typical example of gesticulation is the movement? of the head, namely, the Head Nod and the Head? Shake. Many people believe that? the Head Nod is the? only? way to? signal YES and that? the Head? Shake? is always used to signal NO. They further believe that these gestures mean the same all over the world. This is close to the truth, but not the whole truth. In certain parts of the world, there are other, less well-known head movements that are used to signal YES and NO. //tr.hjenglish.com
????? In the Head Nod gesture, the head moves vertically up and down one or more times. This gesture is used by people almost? everywhere in the world. Whenever? is occurs, it is usually a YES sign, rarely a no. This action may well be something we are born with, since even blind people use it.
????? In the Head Shake gesture for meaning NO, the head moves horizontally from side to side. This is the most? common form of negative reply, and it? covers a wide range of NOs, from “I cannot:” and “I will not” to “I disagree” and “I do not know”.
????? Like the? Head Nod, the? Head? Shake? is used? in? the? same? way? by? people throughout? the world. The origin of the gesture is believed to come from the action a baby used to refuse food or drink. When the parent tries to persuade the baby to feed, the baby “says” NO by twisting the head first to one side and then to the other I some parts of Europe, however, moving the head from? side to side means YES. As you can imagine, this often leads to great? misunderstanding and embarrassment between foreigners.

Man:???????? You have a more extended family circle, do you?
Woman:??? Yes. It's quite common in my country to have a grandmother and an unmarried aunt or? uncle?living?in?as?part?of?the family.?And?we?wouldn't?dream?of?sending?an elderly relative to an old persons? home, for instance.
Man:???????? You take care of elderly relatives yourselves, I gather.
Woman:????Oh yes. We haven't got all your welfare services and it s the family's duty to look after an elderly parent, for example.
Man:???????? What about hospitality? D'you think English families do a lot of entertaining?
Woman:????Yes,?but in?a rather?formal?way. You don't?like?people?to?“drop?in?”without? a previous invitation, do you? In my country it's quite usual to drop in on friends and relatives.
Man:????????? Have you ever lived in with an English family.
Woman:????Yes, I have. I was an au pair girl for a year, helping with the housework. I learned a lot about English family life then. I'd never realized how fond the Englishman is of his home and family, his garden and his pets.
Man:????????? Pets? What sort of pets did they have?
Woman:????Oh, all sorts—dogs, cats and goldfish.
Man:????????? Did you enjoy living in with the family?

Art? is?? famous and everywhere there are magnificent buildings like the School of Art itself, which was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. I expect? you? are familiar with? his work. Apart? from that there are a lot of museums and art galleries; a whole wing in the Hunterian Art Gallery is devoted to Mackintosh.
????? The city is becoming more cosmopolitan, at least as well as very reasonably priced lunches with traditional Scottish food.
????? It is not difficult to travel in the city. The underground is very cheap, and even the taxis are not expensive. The center of the city is well planned, with a good shopping mall.
????? There is plenty to do in the evenings. Glasgow has eight theatres, as well as concert halls and? cinemas,?and?if?you?are fond?of live? music,? you? can? hear? it? in? pubs? and? clubs.? At? the weekends, of course, there is beautiful countryside not far away, and you can play golf if you are interested.
????? There are not? many bad points. It's probably not? the best place to improve your? English because it takes time to get used to the local accent.

Man:????????? ?Yes, that's right. You see, I stayed in Indonesia for eight years. I met my wife there in 1975, and after we came back e bought a farm in the West of England, in? 1980. A kind of experiment, really.
Woman:????? But you gave it up three years later.
Man:?????????? Well, yes. You see it was very hard work, and I was also very busy working on my?second novel, The Gold Touch, which came out in 1985.
