28. I need to get a copy of my birth certificate.

Sorry. But we can only accept requests by mail now.


What does the woman mean?

(A) The office already mailed the man's birth certificate.

(B) The office no longer issues birth certificates.

(C) The man doesn't have sufficient identification for his request.

(D) The man will have to apply for his birth certificate in writing.



I chose C, But I think D is also ok



30. How do you like to help me plan the refreshments for the astronomy club meeting tomorrow night?

Sure. Let's be careful not to overdo it though. Last time we had enough for 3 clubs put together.

What does the woman mean?



(A) She would prepare extra refreshments.

(B) They should prepare extra refreshments.

(C) The members of the club always eat a lot.

(D) There was too much food at a previous meeting.



I chose b, but I can’t find any tip



Question 34-37

Wonderful I spent most of my time at the art museum. I especially liked the new wing. I was amazed to hear the guide explain the problems they had building it.

Right. I just read an article that went on & on about the cost. 90 million total I think.

Yeah. The guide mentioned that. You could see they spared no expense.

Hm. It looked really unusual, at least from what I saw in the picture.

It is. The basic design is two triangles. In fact there are triangles all over. The paving stones in the courtyard, the skylights and even a lot of the sculptures.

One sculpture is a mobile. It's in the courtyard and it's made of pieces of aluminum that moves slowly in the air. It's really impressive.

That was in the article too. It said that the original was steel and it weighed so much that it wasn't safe to hand.

Right. They did it over in aluminum so it wouldn't come crashing down on someone's head.

You know the article went into that in detail. There was even an interview with the sculptor.

I'd like to read that. Would you mind if I borrow the magazine sometime?

No. I wouldn't mind if I haven't thrown it out yet.





36. According to the woman, what do the paving stones, skylights and mobile have in common?

36. (A) They came from the original wring.

(B) They're made of the same material.

(C) They're similar in shape.

(D) They were designed by the same person



I chose c but I can’t find a tip.

only D will be OK here... the man is actually requesting for birth certificates and the woman says they consider only requests made by mail (i.e. in writing)

Sure. Let's be careful not to overdo it though. Last time we had enough for 3 clubs put together.

because the woman says that they had food enough for 3 clubs last time, meaning there was more food than what was necessary last time...

(C) They're similar in shape. - the speaker says all these have triangular shape... hence..

(D) They were designed by the same person

I chose c but I can’t find a tip.
