Directions: In Part B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers in your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

The air surrounding us is quite important to everyone. Without air, we could not exist. Everyone understands that, but air is necessary in many other ways that are not always so obvious or widely known.

For example, if we didn’t have air, there would be no sound. Sound travels through air. Where there is no air, there is no sound. Without air, there would be no fire. There would be no automobiles. Since motors need air in order to operate.

Without air, there would be no winds or clouds. There would be no weather. The nighttime would be very cold and the day very hot. We would be forced to hide away from the sun all the time, as there would be no atmosphere to protect us from the sun’s deadly rays.

Questions:

11. Without air, which of the following are not likely to be found?

12. Without air, what would the weather be like?

13. Without air, why must we seek shelter from the sun?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

In western countries packages can be sent in two different ways. One is through post offices owned by governments; the other is through private parcel services. The government post offices are less expensive and more readily available, but not always as convenient. When sending packages through private services, you can get many special services. For an extra fee, a private service will send someone to pick up and wrap your package for you. Most private services will deliver your package within 24 hours or receiving it, and some will even refund the price of the package, if it takes them longer to deliver it. These extra services are not cheap. However, if you need to have something delivered quickly and conveniently, private services are often worth the extra money.

Questions:

14. Which of the following is an advantage of the government owned post offices?

15. Which of the following special services do most private parcel services provide?

16. According to the passage, what will some private services do if they fail to deliver your package within 24 hours?

Writing (for reference)

Dear Editor,

Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities.

Some students think it is a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone can get some comfort from pets as their companions. Besides, getting on well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it does harm to the environment. Worse still, pets may make too much noise and even attack people.

I like animals, so I don’t think it bad to keep pets at home. But pet owners should be very considerate of others when they deal with their lovely pets.  And it is necessary for us to take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment or spreading diseases.

Look forward to receiving your reply!

Yours sincerely,

Mary
