A. GENERAL STRATEGIES FOR LISTENING SECTION.
1. Be careful of vocabulary. Words with more than one meaning will be tasted in section one. See checkpoints L1 trough L3 for practice
2. Be careful of sounds. Look for sounds-alikes in answer choices. Do not be tricked by words and expressions which sound like those in the dialogues but which are different in meaning. See L4 for practice.
3. Listen carefully for the stress and intonation of each spoken sentence. They can be used to show strong emotion or even to change the statement into a question. See L5 and L6 for practice.
4. Listen carefully for tricky spoken structures such as contractions, negatives, causative verbs, conditions, tag questions, modals, passives, and relationship signals. See L10 for practice.
5. Listen carefully for the second speaker. The second speaker always gives important information.
6. Try to determine who is speaking an where the speakers are having their conversation. See L11 for practice.
7. Determine the topic of the dialogue. Try to determine what the speakers are talking about. See L12 for practice.
8. Guess if you don´t know the answer to a question.
9. Use extra time between questions to look ahead at the answer choices. Try to predict what the question types might be for each dialogue.
B. THE FOLLOWING SKILLS WILL HELP YOU TO IMPLEMENT THESE STRATEGIES IN THE LISTENING SECTION STUDY AN ANSWER THEM, THEN FIND AND PRACTICE MORE ON YOUR TOEFL BOOK ON PAGES 47 TROUGH 99.
Skill 1 : Focus on the second line.
In Listening Part A you will hear a short conversation involving two people; this conversation is followed by a question. It is important understand that the answer to this type of question is most often (but not always) found in the second line of conversation.
Exercise 1: In this exercise, you should focus on the second line of this conversation, read the question, and then choose the best answer to that question. Remember that you can probably answer the question easily whit only the second line.
(woman) I have no idea. (Narrator) what does the woman mean? (A) She has strong ideas about movies. (B) She prefers comedies over westerns and romances. (C) She doesn't like today's matinee.

(D) The house doesn't have a bell.
Skill2: Choose answers whit synonyms.
Often the correct answer in listening part A is an answer that contains synonyms ( words whit similar meaning but different sounds) for key words in the conversation.
Exercise 2 : In this exercise, underline key words in the second line of each short conversation. Then underline synonyms for this key words in the answers., and choose the best answer to each question. Remember that the best answer is probably the answer that contains synonyms for the key words in the second line of the conversation.
(man) Yes, and I also had to fill out an application. (narrator) What does the man mean | |||
(A) he got a job as bookstore manager. (B) The bookstore was not accepting applications. (C) He saw a book about how to apply for jobs. (D) It was necessary to complete form.
Skill3: Avoid similar sounds.
Often the incorrect answers in listening part A are answers that contain words with similar sounds but very different meanings from what you heart in the recording program.
You should definitely avoid these answers.
Exercise 3: In this exercise, underline words in the second line of each short conversation. Then underline words with similar sounds to these key words in the answers, and choose the best answer to each question. Remember that the best answer is probably the answer that does not contain words with sounds that are similar to the sounds of the key words in the second line of the conversation.
1. (woman) I heard that sally just moved into a new, big house near the beach. (man) But sally doesn't have a cent. (narrator) What does the man mean. (A) Sally doesn't has no sense of responsibility. (B) Sally sent her friend to the house. (C) Sally has no money (D) Sally is on the set with her.
C. THE FOLOWING CHART OUTLINES A VERY IMPORTANT LISTENING STRATEGY. STUDY IT.
Strategy 1:Focus on the second line. 2. Listen to the first line of the conversation. if you understand it that's good., if you don't understand it, don't worry because is probably does not contain the answer. 3. 3. Be ready to focus on the second line of the conversation because is probably contains the answer. Repeat the second line in your mind as you read through the answers in the text.
Strategy 2:Choose answer whit synonyms. 1. as you listen to the second line of the conversation, focus on key words in that line. 2. If you see any synonyms for key words in a particular answer, then you have probably found the correct answer.
Strategy 3: Avoid similar sounds 1. Identify key words in the second line of the conversation. 2. Identify words in the answers that contain similar sounds, and do not choose these answers.

READING SKILLS. STUDY EACH OF THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BESTE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW. The black widow is the most dangerous spider living in the United States. It is most common in the southern parts of the country, but it can be found throughout the country. The black window got its name because the female has been known to kill the male after mating and, as a result, becomes a window. The black window is rather distinctive in appearance; t has shiny globular body, the size and shape of a pea, and is marked on its underbelly with a red o yellow spot. The female is considerably more ample than the male, roughly four timers larger on the average. If a human is biting by a black window, the spider's poison can cause severe illness and pain. Black window bites have occasionally resulted in death, but it is certainly not the norm for black window bites to be mortal. 1. in line 2, the word "window" means: (A) a type of poison (B) the dead male spider (C) the human victim of the spider (D) a female whose mate as died 3. the word "ample" in line 7 indicates that the Spider is (A) feminine (B) large in size (C) dotted with colours (D) normal 2. Which of the flowing is closest in meaning to the word "globular" in line 5: (A) Earthen (B) Luminescent (C) Green in color (D) Round 4. Which of the following has the same meaning as the word "mortal" in line 10: (A) deadly (B) painful (C) poisonous (D) sickening F. THE FOLLOWING CHART OUTLINES THE KEY INFORMATION THAT YOU SHOULD REMEMBER ABOUT READING SKILLS. STUDY THE EXAMPLE AND DEVELOP YOURS BASED ON THE READING CHECKPOINTS ON PAGES 247 TROUGH 309. VOCABULARY QUESTIONS CONTAINING SIMPLE WORDS How to identify The question what is the meaning …? which of the following is closest in meaning to…? The word is a simple word, one that you see often In everyday English. Where to find the Answer. the question usually tells you in which line of the Passage the word can be found. How to answer The question 1. find the word n the passage 2. read the sentence that contains the word carefully 3. look for context clues to help you to understand the meaning 4. choose the answer that the context indicates Directions: In this section you will read several passages. Each one is followed by a number of questions about it. You are to choose the onebest answer, (A), (B), (C), or (D) to each question. Then on your answer sheet, find the number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen. Read the following passage: John Quincy Adams, who served as the sixth president of the United States from 1825 to 1829, is today recognized for his masterful statesmanship and diplomacy. He dedicated his life to public service, both in the presidency and in the various other political offices that he Line held. Throughout this political career he demonstrated his unswerving belief in freedom of (5) speech, the antislavery cause, and the right of Americans to be free from European and Asian domination. Example I. To what did John Quincy Adams devote his life? (A) Improving his personal life. (B) Serving the public.Sample Answer (C) Increasing his fortune. (A) (B) (C) (D) (D) Working on his private business. According to the passage, John Quincy Adams "dedicated his life to public service". Therefore, you should choose (B). Example II. In line 4, the word unswerving is closest in meaning to (A) moveable (B) insignificantSample Answer (C) unchanging (A) (B) (C) (D) (D) diplomatic The passage states that John Quincy Adams demonstrated his unswerving belief "throughout his career". This implies that the belief did not change. Therefore, you should choose (C). Now begin work on the questions. QUESTIONS 1-10 Carbon dating can be used to estimate the age of any organic material; it has been used successfully in archeology to determine the age of ancient artifacts or fossils as well as in a variety of other fields, the principle underlying the use of carbon dating is that carbon is a part of all living things on earth Line (5) carbon-14 remaining in an object can be used to date that object. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,570 years, which means that after that number of years half of the carbon-14 atoms have decayed into nitrogen-14. It is the ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 in that substance that indicates the age of the substance. If, for example, in a particular sample the amount of carbon-14 is roughly equivalent to the amount of nitrogen-14, this indicates that around half of the (10) carbon-14 has decayed into nitrogen-14, and the sample is approximately 5,570 years old. Carbon dating cannot be used effectively in dating objects that are older than 80,00 years. When objects are that old, much of the carbon-14 has already decayed into nitrogen-14, and the minuscule amount that is left does not provide a reliable measurement of age. In the case of older objects, other age-dating methods are available, methods which use radioactive atoms with longer (15) half-lives than carbon has. 1. This passage is mainly about: (A) the differences between carbon-14 and nitrogen-14 (B) one method of dating old objects (C) archeology and the study of ancient artifacts (D) various uses for carbón 2. The word "estimate" in line 1 is closest in meaning to: (A) understand (B) hide (C) rate (D) approximate 3. The pronoun "it" in line 1 refers to: (A) carbon dating (B) the age (C) any organic natural material (D) archeology 4. Which of the following is NOT true about carbon-14? (A) It is radioactive (B) Its half-life is more than 5,000 years. (C) It and nitrogen always exist in equal amounts in any substance (D) It can decay into nitrogen-14 5. The word "underlying" in line 3 could best be replaced by: (A) below (B) requiring (C) being studied through (D) serving as a basis for 6. It can be inferred from the passage that if an item contains more carbon-14 than nitrogen-14, then the item is: (A) too old to be age-dated with carbon-14 (B) not as much as 5,570 years old (C) too radioactive to be used by archeologists (D) more than 5,570 tears old 7. The word "roughly" in line 9 could best be replaced by: (A) harshly (B) precisely (C) coarsely (D) approximately 8. The expression "is left" in line 13 could best be replaced by: (A) remains (B) has turned (C) changes (D) is gone 9. It is implied in the passage that: (A) carbon dating could not be used on an item containing nitrogen (B) fossils cannot be age-dated using carbon-14 (C) carbono-14 does not have the longest known half-life (D) carbon dating has no known uses outside of archeology 10. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses: (A) how carbon-14 decays into nitrogen-1 (B) various other age-dating methods (C) why carbon-14 has such a long half-life (D) what substances are part of all living things QUESTIONS 11-20 Madison Square Garden, a world-famous sporting venue in New York City, has actually been a series of buildings in varied location rather than a single building in one spot. In 1873, P.T. Barnum built Barnum's Monster Classical and Geological Hippodrome at the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street, across from Madison Square Park. Two years later, bandleader Patrick Gilmore bought Line(5) the property, added statues and fountains, and renamed it Gilmore's Gardens. When Cornelius Vanderbilt bought the property in 1879, it was renamed Madison Square Garden. A second very lavish Madison Square Garden was built at the same location in 1890, with a ballroom, a restaurant, a theater, a Garden, and a main arena with seating for 15,000. However, this elaborated Madison Square Garden lasted only until 1924, when it was torn down to (10) make way for a forty-story skyscraper. When the second Madison Square Garden had been replaced in this location across from Madison Square Park, boxing promoter Tex Rickard raised six million dollars to build a new Madison Square Garden. This new Madison Square Garden was constructed in a different location, on 8th Avenue and 50th Street and quite some distance from Madison Square Park and Madison Avenue. (15) Richard's Madison Square Garden served primarily as an arena for boxing prizefights and circus events until it outgrew its use fullness by the late 1950s. A new location was found for a fourth Madison Square Garden, atop Pennsylvania Railroad Station, and plans were announced for its construction in 1960. This current edifice, which includes a huge sports arena, a bowling center, a 5,000-seat amphitheater, and a twenty-nine-story office (20) building, does retain the traditional name Madison Square Garden. However, the name is actually quite a misnomer. The building is not located near Madison Square, nor does it have the flowery gardens than contributed to the original name. 11. The main point of this passage is that Madison Square Garden: (A) has had a varied history in various locations (B) was P. T. Barnum's major accomplishment (C) is home to many different sporting (D) was named after an adjacent park 12. Which paragraph discusses the third incarnation of Madison Square Garden?
