19. A: Could I look at your bus schedule? I don’t want to drive to work tomorrow if it’s snowing.

　　What does the woman mean?

　　20. A: That’s a pretty thick book. Are you sure Fram will want to plough through that?

　　B: Are you kidding? She’ll be through it in two days.

　　What does the man imply about Fram?

　　What does the woman imply the man should do?

　　24. A: How about going on a camping trip next week with us? We are planning on hiking and canoeing in the state park.

　　Questions 31-34 Listen to a conversation in a college dormitory.

　　Hmm, hi.

　　Hi, I am going door to door tonight to tell people about the student action coalition⁴. Do you have a few minutes?

　　Sure. You know, I think I read something in the newspaper last week. 

　　Yeah, there was an article about us since the last issue. See, we are trying to protect and conserver some of the open spaces on campus.

　　That’s right. You are thesgroupsthat’s opposing the extension of the parking lot next toSmith Hall, right?

　　That’s us. We just feel it is important to save some of the natural beauty of the campus,like Over-by Swing. Some of those trees are hundreds of years old.

　　It is a pretty spot. My friends and I had picnics over there by the creek⁵.

　　Then you understand how we feel. We are organizing a rally on Thursday afternoon to get the administration to reconsider the parking lot plan.

　　Well, I have a class on Thursday afternoon.

　　But maybe you could sign this petition. We’re going to summit it to the administration to demonstrate how the students feel about this.

　　Sure, let me get a pen and I’ll sign it.
