Section B Passages
Directions: In section 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 on 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 earth is composed of several layers. The top layer of the earth is called the earth’s crust. The earth’s crust is divided into seven sections. These sections are called plates.
When two plates push against each other, or when two plates rub against each other, an earthquake will occur. An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake. The shaking is caused by the motion of two plates.
Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries of the earth’s plates. Each of these plates is about 70 kilometers thick. Let’s take a look at the general boundaries of one of these seven major plates.
Take the North American plate for an example. The left boundary of this plate is the west coast of

North America and the east boundary of this plate is through the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That is, this plate extends from west coast of North America to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. (Listen to it again)

13. Which of the following is the left boundary of the North American plate?
Questions14 through 16 are based on the following news.
Most students in the UK leave school at the age of 18 and go on to study for three years in university, but in recent years many students have chosen to take a one-year break between finishing school and starting university. This period is called a gap year and is a time when British students can visit foreign countries.
Thousands of gap-year travelers leave Britain every year for Australia, which is their most popular destination. While some volunteers travel for charity work in developing countries, others enjoy travelling through many countries.
An important part of any gap year is learning about the culture and society of other countries. It can be very important to learn about local customs in order to avoid a culture clash.
The development of the Internet makes it easier than before to make contact with their friends and families at home. Many gap-year students even use photo-sharing websites to show others their adventures.
China is also becoming a popular destination for British students. Gap-year activities in China might include learning kung fu or teaching English.
Perhaps you’ll meet some British gap-year travelers. Don’t forget to practice your English with them.

Questions:
14. How old are most students in the UK when they leave university? 15. Where do most gap-year students choose to travel? 16. How do most gap-year travelers contact their parents?
Section C Longer Conversations
Directions: In section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. W: Learning in college is quite different from learning in high school.
15
M: Yeah, particularly the lectures. Have you got any special approach for listening to lectures? W. Well, I’m going to use a cassette recorder and record them all. M: What! Are you allowed to?
W: Sure. Lots of people do it nowadays. It means you can listen to the lectures all over again, and make really good notes.
M: I couldn’t do that. I like to take notes as I’m listening. I usually find all the important points. W: It seems you carefully listen to the lectures. But how about reading?
M: Well, reading is different, of course. My approach is to skim the book first to see what’s important and what isn’t. It saves hours of time. W: But what if you miss something?
M: You don’t mean you’re going to read every word, do you? W: Well, that’s what I usually do.
M: Well, that’s up to you, but I think you’re crazy. (Listen to it again)
Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation. M: Hi, Jenny. Where are you going? W: Oh, I’m on my way home from work. M: I didn’t know you had a job.
W: Yeah. I worked part time at a supermarket. M: What do you do there?
W: I work in the produce section, trimming and wrapping fresh fruits and vegetables. I also stock shelves. Sometimes when it really gets busy, I work at the checkout counter. Have you got a job, Peter?
M: Yeah. I do yard work for people, you know, cutting grass, raking leaves, pulling weeds, things like that.
W: I’d like to do that. It must be nice to work outdoors.
M: Sometimes it is., except when it rains or snows or to get too hot or too cold or….
W: Ha, ha. I guess every job has its drawbacks. There are times when I get pretty tired of carrying things around at my job. But a job is a job. Gotta earn money for school.
M: Me, too. Tuition sure is high, isn’t it? Well, I’d better get going. I’ve got to plant some trees for my neighbours this afternoon.
W: Well, don’t work too hard. Take it easy. M: You, too. It was great seeing you. Jenny! (Listen to it again)
