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.
It was the ambition of an eleven-year-old boy in Kansas City to be an engine driver. Born without arms, he had been to special schools, where he learned the skill of using his feet as “hands”. He spent all his spare time watching trains and one day his dreams came true. Seeing a deserted engine, the boy climbed in and he had no difficulty in starting it with his feet. Soon he was traveling along at forty miles an hour. Signalmen could not see the young driver, so they didn’t try to stop the train. The train passed Fillan and Omar, and reached Missouri, where the boy stopped the engine himself, and then made it go backwards. When he was near home, a railwayman caught up with the engine and stopped it. At first, the railwayman was very angry. When he saw the armless boy, he was surprised and he smiled when the boy said simply, “ I like trains.” “Well, I’m glad you don’t like planes!” answered the railwayman.
Questions:
11. How did the boy acquire the skill of driving an engine? (C)
12. Where was the engine stopped at last? ( A)
13. How did the railwayman feel when he saw the armless boy? ( D)

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
According to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the U.S. National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and science. Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned.
Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such as history books.64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That's a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition. Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.

Section C
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 hear.
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: What’s the article mainly about?
W: It’s about Dr. Catani’s research. It says that IPad generation is losing out on vocabulary.
M: Nowadays children have access to the Internet, mobile phone and tablet computers, which are visual rather than auditory. That means children learn vocabulary from on-screen image but not from everyday conversation.
W: Yes. Dr. Catani said: “When we learn a new word, we start by hearing a sound, and then we try to repeat it until we get it right. Through this we increase our vocabulary from age one until we get to 30,000 words as an adult.
M: That means these findings show that listening, repetition and conversation matter a lot to learning language.
W: Yes. Hearing and then verbally imitating is key to understanding.
M: Since we know how children learn new words, they are likely to have less vocabulary than the previous generation.
W: So we should spend less time on these devices and talk more to our children to maintain the oral tradition of passing on knowledge to our children.

Complete the form. Write ONE WORD OR NUMBER for each answer.
Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hi, Sharon. I haven’t seen you for ages. Are you still working in the studio?
W: Yes. I like photographing the best moments of the animals in studios and sell prints online.
M: What’s your goal during each shoot?
W: Capturing the animal’s charm----it can be something in their eyes or the way they move.
M: Since you have long been working with animals, can you tell me something about them?
W: The animals generally fall into two categories: some are cute, and some are striking, like the American buffalo.
M: Do you get scared when you photograph animals like lions and bears?
W: No, it even doesn’t occur to me to be scared. I have confidence in the handlers I work with. And focusing on shooting can totally distract me from anything around.
M: Are certain animals easier to photograph than others?
W: Some animals like buffalo and cow don’t do much, which makes it easy for me while animals like chicks and cats move around. I have to focus and be ready for the split second and the right position.
M: What are the tricky parts that people wouldn’t expect?
W: It’s a lot of work plus stress and self-doubt that comes with any creative pursuit.
Complete the form. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
