[11:37.71]Section B
[11:39.90]Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages.
[11:46.24]At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions.
[11:50.40]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.
[11:55.21]After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer
[11:58.61]from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
[12:04.73]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
[12:09.11]with a single line through the centre.
[12:11.73]Passage One
[12:16.33]Born and raised in central Ohio,
[12:17.97]I am a country girl through and through.
[12:20.71]I am currently studying to become a physical therapist,
[12:23.99]a career path that marks a greater achievement for me.
[12:27.60]At the Ohio State University,
[12:30.00]admission into the physical therapy program is
[12:33.06]intensively competitive. I made it pass the first
[12:36.57]cut the first year I applied, but was turned down for admission.
[12:41.05]I was crushed because for years I have been determined to
[12:45.21]become a physical therapist. I received the advice from friends
[12:49.81]and relatives about changing my major
[12:52.00]and finding another course for my life.
[12:54.62]I just couldn’t do it. I knew I could not be
[12:57.79]as happy in another profession. So I stilled myself,
[13:00.96]began to work seriously for another year and reapplied.
[13:05.45]Happily I received notice of my admission.
[13:08.85]Later I found out that less than 15% of the applicants
[13:13.33]had been offered positions that year.
[13:15.63]Now, in the first two years’ professional training,
[13:19.24]I could not be happier with my decision not to
[13:22.41]give up all my dream. My father told me that
[13:26.13]if I wanted it badly enough, I would get in.
[13:29.30]Well, daddy, I wanted it, so there.
[13:32.25]After graduation, I would like to travel to another country,
[13:36.52]possibly a Latin-American country
[13:39.26]and work in a children’s hospital for a year or two.
[13:42.76]So many of children there are physically handicapped,
[13:46.37]but most hospitals don’t have the funding to
[13:49.43]hire a trained staff to care for them properly.
[13:52.28]I would like to change that somehow.
[13:55.67]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[14:02.56]26. What is the speaker’s field of study?
[14:23.10]27. According to the speaker, what contributed to
[14:29.22]her admission to Ohio State University?
[14:46.64]28. Why does the speaker want to go to a Latin-American country?
[15:08.68]Passage Two
[15:10.54]Gabriela Mistral was once an ordinary teacher
[15:15.32]in a small village school in Northern Chile.
[15:18.38]Towering mountains separated her village
[15:21.00]from the world outside. Gabriela Mistral was
[15:25.16]only fifteen when she began teaching,
[15:27.79]but she was a good teacher. She helped the minds of
[15:30.96]her students scale the mountain walls
[15:33.37]and reached out to the world beyond.
[15:35.99]For eighteen years, Gabriela devoted her life
[15:39.82]to the poor farm children of Chile’s northern valleys.
[15:43.65]During part of this time,
[15:45.73]she was director of schools in all of the Chile.
[15:48.25]Before long, many countries recognized her
[15:51.75]as a great friend of children and a leader in education.
[15:55.79]In 1922, she was invited to Mexico to
[15:59.73]help organize the Rural School System.
[16:02.68]Two years later, Gabriela Mistral came to the United States
[16:07.28]where she served as a visiting professor in several colleges.
[16:11.66]In New York City, a group of teachers helped to
[16:14.94]finance the publication of her first book of poetry.
[16:18.77]Some of her books have been translated into
[16:21.83]six different languages. She gave the income from
[16:25.55]some of her books to help poor and neglected children.
[16:29.27]Beginning in the 1920s, her interests reached out
[16:33.21]to broader fields. Statesmen asked her advice on
[16:37.26]international problems. She tried to break through
[16:40.65]the national barriers that hindered the exchange of ideas
[16:44.70]among the Spanish-speaking people of South America.
[16:47.98]She tried to develop a better understanding
[16:50.39]between the United States and countries of Latin America.
[16:54.22]In 1945, she gained worldwide recognition
[16:58.92]by winning the Nobel Prize in literature,
[17:01.98]the first South American to win the prize.
[17:07.02]Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[17:12.27]29. Where did Gabriela Mistral start her teaching career?
[17:33.96]30. How did Gabriela Mistral help
[17:38.23]the poor children of her hometown?
[17:55.90]31. Why did many countries think highly of Gabriela Mistral?
[18:16.20]32. How did Gabriela Mistral become famous all over the world?
[18:39.00]Passage Three
[18:40.96]Over time animals have developed many ways to
[18:44.57]stay away from predators.
[18:46.21]A predator is an animal that hunts and eats other animals.
[18:50.48]Hiding is one of the best ways to stay alive.
[18:53.98]Some animals hide by looking like the places
[18:57.26]where they live. To see how this works,
[19:00.44]let’s look at the sea dragon. It is a master of disguise.
[19:04.93]The sea dragon is covered with skin that looks like leaves.
[19:09.19]The skin helps the dragon look like a piece of seaweed.
[19:13.13]A hungry meat-eater would stay away from anything
[19:16.30]that looks like seaweed. Other animals stay safe
[19:21.01]by showing their colors. They want other animals to see them.
[19:25.60]Scientists call these bright colors warning colors.
[19:29.64]You have probably seen animals that have warning colors.
[19:33.37]Some grasshoppers show off their own bright colors.
[19:37.75]Those colors don’t just look attractive.
[19:40.92]They tell the enemies to stay away.
[19:43.54]Of course, hungry predators sometimes ignore the warning.
[19:47.81]They still go after the grasshopper.
[19:50.76]If that happens, the grasshopper has a backup of defense.
[19:53.83]It makes lots of foam. The foam tastes so bad that
[19:58.42]the predator won’t do it again.
[20:00.83]Color doesn’t offer enough protection for some other animals.
[20:05.20]They have different defenses that help them survive in the wild.
[20:09.14]Many fish live in groups or schools.
[20:12.32]That’s because there is safety in numbers.
[20:15.31]At the first sign of trouble, schooling fish swim
[20:19.25]as close together as they can get.
[20:21.66]Then the school of fish makes lots of twists and turns.
[20:25.71]All that movement makes it hard for predators to see individuals
[20:30.63]in a large group.
[20:32.61]Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[20:38.40]33. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
[20:58.76]34. What protects the sea dragon from a meat-eater’s attack?
[21:19.34]35. According to the passage, why do many fish stay in groups?
