And who would I speak to about submitting an application for a tour? W: That would be our public relations director, Mr. Simmons. (70)I can have him contact you if you leave me your number.

To everyone who helped organize last week's JPL Inc. client luncheon, you did a great job! Even though we received more guests than we were anticipating, everything went smoothly. (87) Particularly, whoever chose the catering company deserves a lot of the credit. We got so many positive comments from clients about the lobster and the clam chowder.

Questions 89-91 refer to the following talk. (89)l spent a lot of time yesterday going over our sales records for the year. And some of the trends I found may surprise you. For example, we usually assume that sales of home furniture make up most of our revenue. But, in the first eight months of this year, (90)we’ve brought in twice as much from storage and accessory sales as we have from furniture. Also, unfortunately, the figures so far for our new high-end sofa line are very disappointing. We’re 5,000 units below our target for that. I have for each of you a summary of my findings. (91)I'd like you to take these, study them, and come up with one or two strategic response ideas by the end of the week. Questions 92-94 refer to the following telephone message. Good morning, this is Heather McDonald calling from McDonald Flooring Supply. (92)There's an issue with the invoice we received from your manufacturing company on November 4th.

M: Well, you could save 25% if you sign up as a store member. (43)Just complete this short form for a discount card. Questions 44-46 refer to the following conversation M: (44)Today’s sales staff meeting won’t be much fun. Our figures are down 20% from this month last year. W: Yes, but that’s not a fair measure.

M: That won’t work for me, because (55)I work from 9 am to 9 pm on the weekends, and I’d be too tired to go after getting off my shift. W: Well, they're open late on Tuesdays and Fridays as well. I think they don't close until 11 on those days. Questions 56-58 refer to the following conversation. W: You’re familiar with the L-17 laptop specifications, aren’t you? (56)I’m trying to download the user manual from the company website, but it’s giving me an error message. M: No, I worked on the L-27, not the L-17.

W: Yeah, I calculated the profit margin for her and she agreed. By the way, (59)do we have any more of those brass standing lamps in the back? M: (59)Yes, plenty.

Up until now, I've sold them out of my home, but I'm ready to upgrade to a dedicated shop. W: That sounds perfect for this space. It used to be a dry cleaner's, but we’ve completely remodeled it. (64)The painting will be done tomorrow. Please come and look around. Questions 65-67 refer to the following conversation. M: Excuse me, (65)I’m looking for the most economical produce I can find for use in my restaurant. Do you have any sales going on? W: Yes, sir. (66)We have some boxes of oranges from Fairdale Farm selling for 26 dollars apiece right now. Regularly, they go for 30. M: That sounds pretty good, but I’m more interested in sweeter fruits, like berries, that I can use in desserts. These raspberries are going for three dollars a pound? W: Right. Also, (67)these strawberries have been discounted from six dollars a tub to just four dollars. Questions 68-70 refer to the following conversation. M: Our new line of men's fall fashion is complete and ready to be announced. Now all we need to do Is come up with a promotional model. W: (68)Traditionally, we’ve relied on television advertising, but I'd like to see us step into new media, (70)You have connections among popular fashion bloggers, don't you? M: That’s right. I could share some sneak peeks of the line with them and ask them to write reviews. (69)Of course, magazine spreads are another option. W: That seems out of date. (70)Let's concentrate on the blogs, and try to buy some advertising space on big- name clothing distribution sites as well. PART 4 Questions 71-73 refer to the following talk. Everyone, (71)this is an important day for the sales department. As you know, our TX-11 inkjet color printer has been the bestselling product in the entire history of the company. And now, after almost two years spent in the development and manufacturing phases, we're ready to release the next generation: the TX-12. The improvements over the old model are many. The TX-12 is capable of using new, biodegradable inks, for one thing. (72)Also, it’s been clocked at a print rate of 42 pages per second, whereas the TX-11 could only reach about 30. Plus, it just looks better, in my opinion. Now I'll turn the floor over to (71)my counterpart Steve Lewis, director of marketing. (73)He's going to discuss the company's promotional plans for the TX-12. Questions 74-76 refer to the telephone message. Hello, my name is Charles and I'm calling your agency because I'm taking a trip to Venice, departing this coming Friday morning. Most of my time there will be taken up by business, (76) but I'd love to squeeze in a city tour before I leave the following Saturday. (75)A colleague of mine, Rachel Smith, participated in your Grand Canal Tour last year and couldn't say enough nice things about it. (74)Are you offering this one during my stay? I have meetings ail day Monday and Wednesday, but I’m free in the afternoons on Tuesday and Thursday. Please get back to me at your convenience and let me know what my options are. 555-2045. Thanks. Questions 77-79 refer to the following speech. For more than 20 years now, St. David's Medical Center has been a leader in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment. (77)The fact that you're here at this information session means you probably already know that St. David's has the best records in the country in terms of early diagnosis and survival rates of typically terminal cancers. But there’s more that sets us apart from other medical facilities. (78)It’s also the hundreds of hard- working and talented doctors and nurses who always put you and your needs first. We call it “the St. David's difference.” Please watch the following video to learn more, (79)after which you’ll get a chance to tour our facilities and see why St. David’s is consistently ranked number one. Questions 80-82 refer to the following recorded message.

TOEIC opens excellent job opportunities Website: http://www.mshoatoeic.com

Good afternoon, Mr. Woods. This is Kenneth Won from Fredericton Paint and Supply, returning your call. (80)I'm afraid I have some bad news about the Kensington Exterior Paint you requested. The manufacturer has discontinued its exterior line and now only makes interior paints. However, I do have some comparable products for you to consider. (81)HomeBase Design makes a low-end exterior paint that, at 18 dollars a gallon, is two dollars cheaper than the price we had listed for Kensington. If you're looking for higher quality, I have Brawn Superior Exterior for 25 a gallon, and paints by CFG for 28. (82)It’s in your interest to make a decision quickly, because our store- wide paint sale ends this Sunday. You can get 15% off your purchase if you act fast. Questions 83-85 refer to the following announcement. Your attention, please. Now arriving at Platform 3. Destination, MCM International Airport. Please form a line in front of platform number three, give your ticket to the driver, and stow your luggage in the lower compartments before boarding the bus. Also, please use this bus if you’re traveling to the train station. Ordinary service to the train station has been disrupted due to construction downtown. (84)The bus at Platform 3 will continue to the train station after stopping at the airport. (85)Remember, you must purchase your ticket prior to boarding. (83)This can be done at the lower level of the terminal at the signs marked “Ticket Service.” Thank you. Questions 86-88 refer to the following conversation. Kelly, I just heard from Mr. Inez. (86)He's put the two of us in charge of organizing the interdepartmental meeting next Thursday afternoon. Remember, it’s scheduled for 2:30 in the auditorium. We can discuss our technology needs later, but the first thing I think we should do is arrange for food service. (87)The company usually uses Smithfield Catering, but I'd like to try something different. Have you heard of Taste of Asia? They have a unique Asian-inspired menu and their delivery prices seem reasonable. And of course, we need to get together with everyone who's giving a presentation and discuss how much time they need. (88)Will you be in the office tomorrow morning? I think we should get together and go over all of this face to face. See you then. Questions 89-91 refer to the following speech. Attention, please. Thank you for coming to the First Regions Annual Bankers Conference, everyone. I'm Mattie Lynch, chairperson of Connor Brothers Bank and your moderator for the day. I'd like to give you a quick summary of what's coming up over the next couple hours. At 10 o'clock, (89) (90)Bryson Daniels of United Banking will take the stage to discuss online banking and security issues. After that, everyone will split into smaller groups for seminar discussions on pre-assigned topics. Check your nametags to find out which group to meet with. And at 11:30, I'll be participating in a debate with state banking official Nathan Chalmers over the role of banks in shaping state economies. (91) But right now, please direct your attention to the stage, where my colleague Penelope Campbell will deliver a welcoming statement. Questions 92-94 refer to the following advertisement. Experts tell you that the secret to losing weight is “diet and exercise." But it takes more information than that to construct a weight loss regimen that works for you. (92)That's where the McMichaelson Active Diet Program comes in. Sign up for the low monthly price of $19.95 and we’ll send you daily tips on what to eat, when and which exercises you should be doing to see immediate results on the scale. (93)Your subscription begins by filling out a detailed survey, so the Information you receive each day is tailored specifically to your needs. And we make it easy to control your eating, because (94)you can buy certain McMichaelson-recommended foods at discounted prices directly through our website. But the best part is that the program is ongoing. You can remain a member for as long as you like, and we'll continue guiding your progression towards a thinner, healthier you. Questions 95-97 refer to the following announcement. A little background, ladies and gentlemen. (95) This past year, our factory produced a record 53.2 million automobile tires. Yet, compare this number to the 130 million produced by our top competitor, Brighton Automotive. (95)It’s the same story with custom dashboard displays. Three point eight million left our factory doors, while nearly 13 million came out of Brighton. Here's the bottom line: if this company is to remain in business, we have to increase production. To

this end, (96)the corporate office has decided to switch over to an alternative production model, one that makes use of innovative assembly line machines. The change will be relatively swift, but it's expected to take several weeks. (97)During that time, everyone here will be attending intensive courses on site on how to operate the new assembly lines. Questions 98-100 refer to the following speech. Well, this is a real honor, everyone. For those of you who don't know me, (99)I'm Anthony Lee, head of the international division, and I've worked here at VXT Holding Incorporated for more than 30 years now. (98)As much as I hate to admit it, it's time to step aside. But I know my associates will get along just fine without me. (99)Taking my place is the very capable Julie Mason, who has some exciting ideas about how to expand our export markets. And of course there's Leonard Wilson, who was responsible for us winning that contract with Henson Unlimited last year. I’m sad to go, but I feel so fortunate to have been a part of this team for so long, and to be standing here in front of you tonight. (100)And now let’s all get back to the celebration. I think the band is about to start!

(43)Riding the bus is so much easier now that you can buy your ticket on board. Do you think I’ll have time to grab breakfast at Betty's Diner? M: Well, Betty’s opens at 8:30, but you'll want to be on the bus by then to get to the boarding gate by 10. Questions 44-46 refer to the following conversation. M: The meeting is in less than two hours. Have you finished running the numbers on the sales promotion we’re proposing? W: Yes, (44)l have them here in this document. (45) But the copier's giving me an error message. I’ve been struggling with It for an hour and have only gotten three pages out of it! M: That's not good.

(46) Hi just have to run down to the corner store and use their machine.

I’m about to have lunch right now, but (49)let me call you in an hour and we can set up a time to get together. Questions 50-52 refer to the following conversation.

Questions 56-58 refer to the following conversation. M: Michelle, someone from the city planning office called for you earlier. (56)He said one of the blueprints is missing from our facility expansion application. W: Right. (57)We left it out intentionally because there were a few minor changes to be made.

The only drawback was the reclining mechanism, which some found awkward to use. Hmm, I was afraid of that. We could probably put this product on the market right now and see It sell, but (67)I think we need to correct the problem first. M: I agree. I'll contact the mechanical division right away and see if they can come up with a fix for the issue. Questions 68-70 refer to the following conversation. M: Angela, What can you tell me about Fast Action Printers? (68)I’m looking to get some brochures printed for a new art gallery exhibit, and they seem to have the best prices. W: Well, don’t let the name fool you. In my experience, (69)their work has been anything but fast, even on small, simple projects like restaurant menus. That’s unfortunate, because I was hoping to have the order completed by this Friday. I want to distribute the material at least a week before the exhibit opens. Would you recommend another one? W: In that case, (70)I’d suggest calling Print Plus, Yes, you'll pay a little more, but they can do high-quality work in a reasonable amount of time. And they sometimes offer special promotions on their website. PART 4 Questions 71-73 refer to the following introduction. I can't pay enough compliments to our next award recipient. (71)For over twenty years, Mr. Matthew Hall has devoted himself to the success of this company. He started out as a mailroom clerk* back when the firm was still called American National.

He had to schedule an urgent operation for a patient Friday morning and it’s likely to take him until 1 o’clock. I realize it might be too late for you to change your schedule, but if there's any way you could accommodate this inconvenience, that would be great. I also have a 5:30 slot on Friday if that’s better. Please give me a call as soon as you decide. And, whenever you come, (76)don’t forget to bring your new insurance paperwork — I’ll need that to update your information in our system. Thanks. Questions 77-79 refer to the following advertisement. It seems like every day we hear another advisory on the health hazards of butter and margarine. Even olive oil, so often promoted as the healthy choice, isn't free of artery-clogging fats. (77) Luckily, though, there really is a better alternative: grape seed oil. Produced in the USA by a family- owned and -operated company, Lynne Farm 100% Grape Seed Oil is the real healthy choice. Its uses are limitless, whether you’re baking a cake or sauteing onions on the stove. Unlike olive oil, (78)grape seed oil doesn’t impart a strong taste on what you’re cooking, and it's more resistant to burning at high temperatures. (79)Visit our website and you can download a voucher for 20% off on your first bottle. Do it today! Questions 80-82 refer to the following announcement. Well, it’s finally going to happen—(80)the parking lot outside of the main office is going to be expanded. (81)The work will add another 70 spaces to the 210 that are currently available, which should be more than enough to accommodate all company employees. However, while the construction is underway, only 155 spaces will be open. We’ll be handing out permits for these spaces through a lottery drawing, and everyone else will have to park across the street in the shopping center lots until the work is completed. (82) exercise caution when crossing. Questions 83-85 refer to the following announcement. Good evening, this is Phil Braun, events manager at the Hildorf Hotel and Conference Center. calling in regard to your message from September 6th, in which you inquired about the (83) availability of our Big Basin Conference Space for (84) a company workshop on October 16th. I’m happy to say that, yes, as of today. September 10th, the room is available. However, I can't guarantee it until you’ve formalized your reservation and put down a 20% deposit. The remainder will be due a week prior to the event, on October 9th. If you would like to do this, or if you have other questions, please contact me. Also, (85) I will need to know the number of people attending so as to best meet your needs. Thank you. Questions 86-88 refer to the following radio broadcast. Welcome back, I'm Edna Jones. Seeing as it’s 2 o’clock, (86)most of you loyal listeners out there are probably expecting to hear some live music played right here in the studio for our 2 PM Jam Session. (87)Unfortunately, we can’t seem to get the mike and amplifier system working correctly, so the Jam Session will have to wait. I'm sorry about that. Instead, I’m going to play an interview I recorded earlier with jazz pianist Mitchell O'Sullivan. In it, we discuss O’Suilivan’s early and critically acclaimed work, (88)as well as his much more successful album that came out last month, entitled Finger Roll. Questions 89-91 refer to the following talk. Team, sates are slowing across the board on our laptop models, and we have to find a way to turn I them around.

As salespeople, (91) we need to make sure our customers know about this promotion.

As I’m sure you all know, (93)since its founding a decade ago, the CHC has been committed to providing free and low-cost medical services to Greenfield residents who couldn’t otherwise afford them. It hasn’t always been easy to secure government funding to keep our doors open, which is why we've been so fortunate to receive such tremendous support from donors in the local community Well, about three years ago, we started putting aside a portion of each donation we received.
