This part tests whether you catch the facts in a short spoken passage. 10 questions — answer format: true (✓) or false (✗).
A statement is printed on the paper, marked ★. You hear a few sentences — someone talking about their plans, a small story, an explanation — and decide whether the printed statement agrees with what was said.
The speech says more than the statement, and the statement paraphrases rather than repeats it. The right answer rarely depends on hearing the same words; it depends on whether the meaning matches.
听录音，判断下面的句子是否正确。
Listen and decide whether the printed sentence is correct.
