閱讀部分
The administration has announced plans to acquire a new sculpture for campus.
行政單位已經打算為學校添購一尊新的雕塑。
We should all oppose this plan.
我們都應該反對這項計劃。
The university's poor financial condition led it to increase the price for campus housing and tuition by 15% this past year.
學校糟糕的財務狀況導致在過去的一年中將住宿及學費提高了15個百分點。
Surely then it is in no financial position to purchase such an expensive sculpture.
毫無疑問地，學校沒有經濟能力去採購如此昂貴的雕塑。
Moreover, just look at the sculpture: several 60-foot long steel plates, jutting out of the earth at odd angles!
此外，這尊長達60英尺的雕塑還會從奇怪的角度中冒出。
It's so large, it'll take up all the green space in front of the campus center!
如此大的雕塑會占用整個校園中心前的綠地。
This is public space that should be reserved for students to use.
公共空間應該保留給學生來使用。

聽力部分

♂: Did you see Paul's letter in the paper about the new sculpture? 妳有看到保羅在校刊中的那封信了嗎？
♀: Yeah, but it was totally unconvincing. His reasons for opposing the plan are just totally off. I am glad that we'll finally have nice art on campus. I'd like to shake the donor's hand and say "thank you." 有的，但完全不令人信服。他反對該計劃的理由完全不合理。我很高興校園裡終於有很棒的藝術品了。我想和捐贈者握手，說聲"謝謝"。
♂: What do you mean the donor? 你說捐贈者是什麼意思？
♀: You didn't know? An anonymous donor is paying the bill for most of the sculpture. 你不知道嗎？一位匿名的捐贈者支付了大部分的雕塑費用。
♂: Not the university? 不是學校付的？
♀: No! His assumptions about who's paying are all wrong! 不是！他猜測是誰付款的假設都是錯誤的！
♂: Still, I wonder if he has a point about the space it'll take up? 還是說，我覺得他對占用的空間有一點看法？
♀: Well, you know why Paul is upset. He and his friends are always out there on the lawn right where the sculpture will be, kicking around the soccer ball. Now they'll just have to use another part of the campus to play. 好，你知道保羅為什麼不高興。他和他的朋友們總是在雕塑之後所在的草坪上踢足球。現在他們只是必須要到別的地方踢足球。
♂: Oh! So he just doesn't want to have to move. 哦! 所以他只是不想移動。
♀: Yeah! For him, it's sculpture versus convenience. 沒錯！對他來說，這是雕塑與便利之間的對抗。
