Question 1Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 我想买一本字典，可是书店关门了。 What did the speaker want to buy?

  1. A dictionary Correct answer.
  2. A notebook
  3. A textbook
  4. A magazine

Explanation

字典 (zìdiǎn) means 'dictionary'. The measure word 本 is used with books and book-like items such as 字典, 课本 and 杂志, so the measure word alone does not identify the object; the noun does. 杂志 (magazine), 课本 (textbook) and 笔记本 (notebook) are different items and are not mentioned in the recording.

Question 2Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 今天是十二月三日，星期五。 What day of the week is it?

  1. Saturday
  2. Thursday
  3. Sunday
  4. Friday Correct answer.

Explanation

星期五 is Friday. Chinese weekdays are numbered from 星期一 (Monday), so 星期五 is the fifth numbered day, Friday. The date 十二月三日 is given first, but the question asks about the weekday, which is stated after it.

Question 3Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 他养了两只猫和三条金鱼。 How many goldfish does he keep?

  1. Five
  2. Two
  3. Three Correct answer.
  4. Six

Explanation

三条金鱼 means 'three goldfish'. 条 is the measure word for long, flexible things such as fish. 两只猫 is a separate phrase about cats, so the two numbers are not added together; the goldfish count is simply three.

Question 4Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 往前走，到第二个路口往右拐，银行就在邮局旁边。 Where is the bank?

  1. Beside the post office Correct answer.
  2. Inside the station
  3. Opposite the school
  4. Behind the supermarket

Explanation

银行就在邮局旁边 states directly that the bank is beside the post office. 往右拐 at the second intersection describes the route, not the final position. Places such as a school, supermarket or station are never mentioned, so only the post office location is supported.

Question 5Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 我去过北京两次，但是没去过长城。 What does the speaker say about their travel?

  1. Beijing twice, but not the Great Wall Correct answer.
  2. Neither Beijing nor the Great Wall
  3. The Great Wall twice, but not Beijing
  4. Beijing once, but not the Great Wall

Explanation

去过…两次 uses 过 to express past experience, and 没去过长城 negates a different experience. The contrast word 但是 separates the two places, so the speaker has been to Beijing twice and has never been to the Great Wall. The two destinations must not be swapped or merged.

Question 6Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear the teacher say: 请把作业本放在桌子上，不要放在椅子上。 Where should the exercise book go?

  1. On the table Correct answer.
  2. On the chair
  3. In the school bag
  4. Under the desk

Explanation

The 把 construction marks the object being moved: 把作业本放在桌子上. The verb 放 plus 在 shows the final location, and 不要放在椅子上 explicitly rejects the chair. The school bag and under the desk are never mentioned.

Question 7Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 姐姐比我高，可是弟弟比姐姐还高。 Who is the tallest?

  1. The older sister
  2. The younger brother Correct answer.
  3. All are the same height
  4. The speaker

Explanation

比 sentences compare two people: 姐姐比我高 means the older sister is taller than the speaker, and 弟弟比姐姐还高 means the younger brother is taller still. The adverb 还 strengthens the second comparison, so the younger brother is the tallest of the three.

Question 8Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 他每天七点就起床，可是今天八点才起床。 What happened today?

  1. He got up at seven as usual
  2. He got up before seven
  3. He did not get up at all
  4. He got up at eight Correct answer.

Explanation

就 suggests 'as early as', so 七点就起床 is the usual early time. 才 suggests 'not until', so 八点才起床 is later than expected. 今天 marks the exception, which means today he got up at eight o'clock.

Question 9Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 男：周末我们去爬山吧？ 女：爬山？我上星期刚去过，腿还疼呢。我们去看电影，怎么样？ What does the woman suggest?

  1. Going back last week
  2. Climbing the mountain again
  3. Staying at home
  4. Seeing a film Correct answer.

Explanation

The woman first rejects hiking by saying she went last week and her legs still hurt. She then asks 我们去看电影，怎么样？, which offers a new plan. Recognising a rejected suggestion followed by a replacement is the key listening skill here.

Question 10Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 这件衬衫原价二百块，打八折，我买了一件，给老板两百块。 How much change should the speaker get?

  1. Eighty yuan
  2. Forty yuan Correct answer.
  3. Twenty yuan
  4. Sixty yuan

Explanation

打八折 means paying 80% of the original price, so 200 × 0.8 = 160 yuan. Paying 200 yuan leaves 200 − 160 = 40 yuan change. Discount phrases must be heard precisely, because 打七折 would give 140 yuan and 打九折 180 yuan.

Question 11Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear a radio weather forecast: 明天上午晴，下午有小雨，晚上转多云。 What will the weather be like tomorrow afternoon?

  1. Snowy
  2. Light rain Correct answer.
  3. Cloudy
  4. Sunny

Explanation

The forecast gives three separate periods: 上午晴 (sunny in the morning), 下午有小雨 (light rain in the afternoon) and 晚上转多云 (turning cloudy in the evening). The question asks specifically about the afternoon, so the matching phrase is 下午有小雨. Snow is not mentioned at all.

Question 12Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear at the station: 火车本来九点半开，因为下雪，晚了二十分钟。 When will the train leave?

  1. 9:10
  2. 10:20
  3. 9:50 Correct answer.
  4. 9:30

Explanation

本来九点半开 means the scheduled departure was 9:30, and 晚了二十分钟 means it is 20 minutes late. Adding 20 minutes to 9:30 gives 9:50. The other times come from subtracting the delay, repeating the original time, or misreading the number.

Question 13Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear a student say: 这个学期我最喜欢历史课，数学太难了，物理也很有意思。 Which subject does the speaker like best?

  1. Chemistry
  2. History Correct answer.
  3. Physics
  4. Maths

Explanation

最喜欢 marks the favourite item, and the speaker says 我最喜欢历史课. Maths is described as 太难了 (too difficult) and physics as 很有意思 (quite interesting), but neither is named as the favourite. Chemistry does not appear in the recording.

Question 14Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear a voicemail: 喂，小明，我是小丽。明天下午的足球训练改到三点半，地点还是学校操场，别迟到啊。 What does Xiaoli tell Xiaoming about?

  1. The time of the training Correct answer.
  2. The day of the training
  3. The coach of the training
  4. The place of the training

Explanation

改到三点半 indicates that the starting time has been changed to 3:30. 地点还是学校操场 means the place remains the school playground, so the location has not changed. The day is still 明天下午, and no coach is mentioned.

Question 15Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear in a restaurant: 服务员，我要一个宫保鸡丁、一碗米饭，再来一杯茶，不要汤。 What does the customer order?

  1. Chicken, rice and tea Correct answer.
  2. Chicken, noodles and soup
  3. Chicken, rice and soup
  4. Fish, noodles and tea

Explanation

宫保鸡丁 is a chicken dish, 米饭 is rice and 茶 is tea. The phrase 不要汤 explicitly refuses soup, so no soup should be included. The other options either add soup or replace rice with noodles, neither of which matches the order.

Question 16Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear a customer say: 这件衬衫太小了，有没有大一号的？我想换一件蓝色的。 What does the customer want?

  1. A smaller blue shirt
  2. A larger shirt, different style
  3. A refund for the shirt
  4. A larger blue shirt Correct answer.

Explanation

太小了 means the shirt is too small, and 有没有大一号的 asks for one size larger. 想换一件蓝色的 adds that the replacement should be blue. A refund is not mentioned, and no change of style is requested.

Question 17Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear a teacher say: 小明昨天没来上课，他妈妈打电话说他发烧了，去医院看病了。 Why was Xiaoming absent yesterday?

  1. He went to visit his mother
  2. He was ill and went to hospital Correct answer.
  3. He was late for class
  4. He went to a football match

Explanation

发烧了 means he had a fever, and 去医院看病了 means he went to the hospital to see a doctor. His mother only telephoned the school; she was not visited. Being late and a football match are not mentioned.

Question 18Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 女：你搬家了？新家离学校远吗？ 男：走路要半小时，坐公交车只要十分钟，所以我每天坐车。 How does the man get to school?

  1. He takes a taxi
  2. He takes the bus Correct answer.
  3. He walks for thirty minutes
  4. He rides a bicycle

Explanation

The man contrasts walking, which takes 半小时, with the bus, which takes only 十分钟. He then says 所以我每天坐车, meaning he takes the bus every day. Taxis and bicycles are never mentioned.

Question 19Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 我打算先做完作业，再跟朋友去看电影，晚上回家吃饭。 What will the speaker do first?

  1. Finish homework Correct answer.
  2. See a film with friends
  3. Meet friends at the cinema
  4. Go home for dinner

Explanation

The pattern 先…再… sets out a sequence: first 做完作业, then 跟朋友去看电影. Dinner at home is placed in the evening, after the film. Therefore the first action is finishing homework.

Question 20Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear a colleague say: 会议七点半就开始了，你怎么八点才来？ What does the speaker mean?

  1. The meeting started at eight
  2. The listener missed the meeting
  3. The meeting will start at half past seven
  4. The listener arrived late Correct answer.

Explanation

七点半就开始了 presents 7:30 as an early start, while 八点才来 says the listener did not arrive until 8:00. The contrast between 就 and 才 shows that the arrival was late. Nothing says the meeting was missed or that it began at eight.

Question 21Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 你好，请记一下我的新号码：零五二一，八三七六四九。 What is the speaker's new phone number?

  1. 0521 837649 Correct answer.
  2. 0521 837694
  3. 0521 873649
  4. 0521 836749

Explanation

The speaker says 零五二一 for 0521 and 八三七六四九 for 837649, then asks the listener to note the new number. The distractors change the order or choice of the final digits.

Question 22Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 图书馆平时八点开门，星期六九点开，星期日不开。 What time does the library open on Saturday?

  1. It is closed.
  2. 10:00
  3. 9:00 Correct answer.
  4. 8:00

Explanation

The phrase 星期六九点开 gives Saturday's opening time as nine o'clock. 平时八点开门 refers to weekdays, and 星期日不开 means it is closed on Sunday.

Question 23Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 我喜欢蓝色的书包，不喜欢黑色的，红色太亮了。 What colour bag does the speaker like?

  1. Green
  2. Black
  3. Blue Correct answer.
  4. Red

Explanation

The speaker says 我喜欢蓝色的书包, which directly identifies blue as the preferred colour. Black is disliked, and red is described as too bright.

Question 24Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 同学们注意，明天的数学考试不在原来的教室，改在二楼的三零五教室，请提前十分钟到。 Where will the maths exam be held?

  1. the original classroom
  2. Room 305 upstairs Correct answer.
  3. Room 305 downstairs
  4. the school library

Explanation

The teacher says 改在二楼的三零五教室, meaning the exam is moved to Room 305 on the second floor, i.e. upstairs. 不在原来的教室 rules out the original room, and no library is mentioned.

Question 25Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear a voicemail: 喂，小华，我是小明。明天上午你有空吗？我想借你的自行车去一趟超市。 Why is Xiaoming calling?

  1. To return a bicycle
  2. To ask about homework
  3. To invite Xiaohua shopping
  4. To borrow a bicycle Correct answer.

Explanation

Xiaoming says 我想借你的自行车, so the purpose of the call is to borrow a bicycle. Going to the supermarket explains why he wants it, not an invitation to Xiaohua.

Question 26Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 我刚才在操场丢了一个黑色的书包，里面有一本数学书和一个蓝色的水杯。 What is inside the lost bag?

  1. A blue maths book and a black cup
  2. A maths book and a blue cup Correct answer.
  3. A maths book and a black cup
  4. A black book and a blue cup

Explanation

The speaker lists 一本数学书 and 一个蓝色的水杯 as the contents of the bag. 黑色的 describes the lost bag itself, not the book or cup.

Question 27Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 科学小组这个星期三的活动改到星期五下午四点，在图书馆二楼。 When and where will the science club activity be?

  1. Wednesday at 4 p.m. in the library on the second floor
  2. Friday at 4 p.m. in the library on the second floor Correct answer.
  3. Wednesday at 4 p.m. in the activity room on the fifth floor
  4. Friday at 4 p.m. in the activity room on the fifth floor

Explanation

The announcement says 改到星期五下午四点 and 在图书馆二楼, so the new time is Friday at four in the library on the second floor. Wednesday is the original day, not the new one.

  1. The listener to go to the doctor with them
  2. The listener to take a day off together
  3. The listener to swap shifts with them Correct answer.
  4. The listener to work on Saturday morning

Explanation

The request 你能不能跟我换一下班 means the speaker wants the listener to swap work shifts. Seeing the doctor is the reason for the request, and the shift is on Saturday afternoon, not morning.

Question 29Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

You hear: 女：这次考试你复习了吗？ 男：复习？我昨天晚上才想起来今天考试，哪儿有时间复习？ What does the man mean?

  1. He studied all night.
  2. He forgot the exam date.
  3. He found the exam easy.
  4. He did not study. Correct answer.

Explanation

The rhetorical question 复习？ and 哪儿有时间复习 show that the man had no time to review. 才想起来 today's exam indicates he remembered very late, so he did not study.

  1. 9 yuan
  2. 5 yuan
  3. 14 yuan

The woman says one bread costs five yuan and two cost nine yuan. The man chooses two, so the total is nine yuan, not five, ten or fourteen.

  3. He rides to school.
  4. He gets up.

Explanation

The man lists his morning routine: he gets up at 6:30 and eats breakfast at 7:00. At 7:30 he rides to school, so 7:00 is breakfast time.

  3. A short book report about the weekend
  4. A 100-character essay called “My Weekend”

Explanation

The teacher sets a 200-character essay titled “My Weekend” and says to hand it in before Friday. Both the length and the title are stated, so the other homework descriptions do not match.

  1. At a hotel front desk

  3. At a bank counter
  4. At a train station ticket office

  3. It remains valid for two full months
  4. It can be shared with several friends

Explanation

A single swim costs 30 yuan, while the ten-visit card costs 250 yuan, which is 25 yuan per visit. The card must be used within one month, and no free equipment or sharing is mentioned.

  1. He has already finished cooking dinner at home
  2. He has to work overtime and cannot go home early Correct answer.
  3. He wants the woman to cook dinner for him
  4. He will go home early and cook dinner as he planned

Explanation

The man says “我倒是想” (I would like to) but his boss has asked him to work overtime, and “有什么办法呢” shows he has no choice. He therefore implies that he cannot go home early as planned.

Question 40Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

  1. A bowl of beef noodles without chilli Correct answer.
  2. A bowl of chicken noodles without chilli
  3. A bowl of beef noodles with extra chilli
  4. A bowl of rice with beef

Explanation

The speaker orders one bowl of beef noodles and explicitly says 不要放辣椒, meaning no chilli. The reply repeats the order as beef noodles without chilli, so the other food and chilli choices are not supported.

  1. On foot
  2. By bus Correct answer.
  3. By bicycle
  4. By taxi

Explanation

The man says his bicycle is broken and he will take the bus, which costs two yuan. He does not mention walking or a taxi, so the bus is the only transport choice supported.

  3. He cannot go because of a work trip Correct answer.

Question 50Listening (Chinese (Mandarin))

Explanation

The 8 a.m. train has been cancelled, so they will take the 10 a.m. bus and reach Beijing two hours later. The museum visit is postponed, not cancelled, and the trip is still the same day.
