Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and a longer conversation, and you will be asked some questions on the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation 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 is the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Food is created in various ways, sometimes by accident or by experimentation. Here??s how a fun product was invented.
In 1930, Ruth and Kenneth Wakefield opened a restaurant on an old road between Boston and Cape Cod in Massachusetts. They named it the Toll House Inn. Ruth was an expert cook, and the inn became famous for its desserts.
Many sources claim Ruth invented her chocolate chip cookie by accident. But she often experimented with recipes to please her guests. One time, she decided to add chocolate to her popular butter cookies. She told a Boston newspaper reporter that she was deliberately ??trying to give her guests something different??. Using a tool, she broke a semi-sweet chocolate bar into small pieces and mixed them with egg, milk and flour. When she took the cookies from the oven, the chocolate hadn’t melted into the flour mixture. Guests loved Ruth??s new Toll House Chocolate Cookies.
The recipe soon appeared in a Boston newspaper. Ruth added it to the 1938 edition of her cookbook. The recipe called for two Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bars to be ??cut in pieces the size of a pea??.
The cookies became so popular that Nestlé??s sales increased greatly. The company began carving lines into its chocolate bars to make them easier to break. It even printed Ruth??s recipe on the wrapper. Later, Nestlé created the semi-sweet chocolate chip. The recipe still appears on every bag. Accident or not, Ruth Wakefield created America??s most popular cookie. Questions:
11. Where did Ruth invent the chocolate cookie? 12. How was Ruth??s chocolate cookie created?
13. What did Ruth do to her recipe for chocolate cookies? 11-13 BAD
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
A new study says up to one-half of the world??s sandy beaches could disappear by 2100 because of climate change. Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, China and the United States would be among the hardest hit, the research shows. The study was published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Michalis Vousdoukas was the lead investigator. ??Touristic areas which have sandy beaches as their main selling point will probably face strong consequences,?? he said.
Aside from economic value, beaches play an important environmental role. ??Sandy beaches are important habitats supporting a wide range of species. They also protect

the coast from the effects of storms, so without sandy beaches other inland environments can be affected by the effects of waves and saltwater intrusion,?? Vousdoukas added.
Global sea levels have increased in recent decades. Major causes include melting ice. And water expands as it warms.
Researchers examined satellite images showing shoreline changes during the past thirty years. They then used these trends in two different climate change situations. One situation predicted a small reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The other situation predicted high greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions have a link to climate change. By 2050, the researchers projected beach losses of between 13 and 15 percent. By 2100, the projected losses are from 35 to 49.5 percent. Australia would lose more sandy shoreline than any other country, with 14,849 kilometers projected to be gone by 2100. Canada is second in projected losses. The United States could lose up to 5,530 kilometers. Questions:
14. Why are sandy beaches important to the environment?
15. Which country will suffer the most according to the research? 16. What is the passage mainly about? 14-16 A A C
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following dialogue. M: Hi, Mary. I haven??t seen you for ages. Where have you been?
W: Hello, Ken. I’ve been on a business trip in Madrid, where I had a conference on behalf of our company??s London headquarters with some Spanish customers. M: But the conference was over a week ago. What kept you there all this time? W: Because of the volcano, Ken. Don??t you ever watch the news? M: What volcano?
W: The one in Iceland, which erupted and produced an enormous cloud of ash.
M: Really? I didn’t know. But it was the volcano instead of you that was in Iceland. How come the volcanic eruption there affected the transportation system in Spain and the UK?
W: Although Madrid is about 3,000 kilometres south of Iceland, the wind blew the ash from the volcano south from Iceland into Britain. Since all the airports were closed in case of the potential risks to aircraft, there were no flights in or out of the UK.
M: So, how did you finally get home?
W: Well, I went from Madrid to Barcelona by train. Then, I made contact with one of our company??s branches there. After that, I tried to buy a train ticket from Barcelona to Paris but there were no tickets on the Eurostar train from Paris to London. So, I had no alternative but to stay in Barcelona.
M: I’ve been to Barcelona. It struck me as a lovely city indeed.
W: Fortunately, I got a ticket on a boat from Bilbao to Southampton with the help of some local colleagues. I got a coach from Barcelona to Bilbao and then boarded the boat.
M: Wow. And all because of this volcano. It seems strange that I’ve never heard of

the eruption.
W: You really should read a newspaper or watch the TV news frequently, Ken.
M: I know, but I??m so busy these days that I can??t afford to waste any of my leisure time on such meaningless pastimes.
W: As far as I know, you??re unemployed.
M: Well, I’ve got a job interview next week. The Times newspaper has offered several vacancies for journalists.
W: I??m sorry, Ken, but I don??t think you??re going to get the job. Questions:
17. Where did the woman meet with her customers?
18. Why did the woman stay there longer than planned? 19. What do you learn about the woman??s trip?
20. Why did the woman think the man would fail his job interview?
