Comprehension,is designed to test your ability tounderstand English as it is spoken in North America.There are three parts tothis section.  \n## Part A\n\nIn Part A,you will hear short conversations between two people.After eachconversation,a third person will ask a question about what was stated orimplied in the conversation.  \nThe topics ofthe conversations are relevant to student life on campus,suchas returning a book to the library,asking about a homework assignment,ortaking a bus to class.  \nThe people in the conversations have many different purposes for speakingto each other.For example,in one conversation someone may beapologizing,in another someone might be giving advice,and in anothersomeone might be asking for information.  \nSome of the questions about the conversations require you to choose aparaphrase of what the speakers said.Other questions ask you to make aninference based on what the speaker said.  \n## Parts B and(\n\nIn Parts B and C,you will hear conversations and talks of up to twominutes in length.The factual information in the conversations and talksis general in nature.  \nThe conversations in Part B are about a variety of topics common to theeveryday life of young adults enrolled in a university.For example,twostudents may be talking about completing a research paper on time,gettingnotes from a missed lecture,or buying an airplane ticket.  \nThe talks in Part Care about a variety of topics,similar to what you mighthear in a classroom lecture,on a radio,or in a museum.For example,onetalk might be about a radio program on a recent scientific discovery,anothermight be a museum guide talking about an exhibit,and another might be astudent presentation about an event in history.  \nIn Parts B and C,after each conversation or talk,another person will askseveral questions about it.The questions will be about information that wasstated or implied in the conversation or talk.  \nSome questions ask what the speakers are mainly discussing or what thepurpose of the talk is.Some questions ask about important details in theconversation or talk.Ocher questions require examinees to make inferencesabout the speakers'roles or the relationship of a speaker to the audience.  \nThe conversations and talks and the questions about them are spoken onlyone time and are not printed in your workbook.For each question,read thefour possible answer choices printed in the workbook,choose the bestanswer,and mark the corresponding letter on your practice answer sheetfor Section 1.  \n0.s y25VS 1wn  \n(5o uoy 2200g Jesd   a单  \nvs
