At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. The passage will be readtwice and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read thefour choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the bestanswer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheetwith a single line through the centre.Passage 1Can you imagine being able to buy something with just a penny?Throughout much of American history, children looked forward to the treat of penny candy when they went to the store. Penny candy emerged in the 1800s for the first time. Prior to the industrial revolution, candy was expensive to make. As the candy industry developed in the nineteenth century, manufacturers were able to produce large quantities of very inexpensive candies. Many stores across the United States carried penny candy, and children shopping with their parents always looked forward to the sweet treat.In the nineteenth century, penny candy was not wrapped in anything-store owners placed the candy in large glass jars that had either glass or metal lids. Most early candies were hard candies. By the late 1800s and early 1900s, many other types of candies were making appearances in these jars.By the latter part of the twentieth century, it became more and more difficult to find penny candy. In part, the types of stores that had carried penny candy, commonly known as general stores because they carried so many different items, were disappearing. Grocery stores took their places, and these stores did not have employees available to count out individual pieces of candy.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. When did the candy industry begin to grow?12. Where did storeowners put penny candies in the 19th century?13. What can be inferred about general stores?14. Why is it difficult to find penny candies in grocery stores?Passage 2Everyone has heard warnings about the "freshman 15". But is it true thai many college students gain 15 pounds during their first year at school?Recent studies find that some first-year students are indeed likely to gain weight-but it might not be the full freshman 15, and it may not all happen during freshman year. That might sound like good news, but it's not. Doctors are concerned that students who gradually put on pounds are establishing a pattern of weight gain that could lead to trouble ifit continues.Studies show that students on average gain 3 t0 10 pounds during their first 2 years of college. Most of this weight gain occurs during the first semester of freshman year.College offers many temptations. You're on your own and free to eat whatyou want, when you want it. You can eat dinners of French fries and ice cream in the dining hall, and can have an "additional meal" during late-night study. In addition, you may not get as much exercise as you did in high school.College is also a time of change, and the stress of adjusting to school can trigger overeating. People sometimes eat in response to anxiety, homesickness, sadness, or stress, and all of these can be part of adapting to being away at school. Questions 15 t0 17 are based on the passage you have just beard.15. What kind of students are doctors concerned about?16. How many pounds do students usually gain during the first 2 years at college?17. What causes stress in some first-year college students?Passage 3Not all math skills are learned in the classroom. Some of them come naturally. Consider the rapid calculations you make when you estimate the number ofempty seats on the school bus or the number of cookies in a cookie jar.These rough estimates can often be done without counting. That's because humans are born with the ability to approximate, or closely guess, the number of items in a group. Researchers refer to this quality as a person's "number sense". Scientists have discovered that this inherent sense of numbers may influence learning and achievement in the classroom. Studies with teenagers show that students who excel at estimating quantities also did well on standard math achievement tests.These results suggest a "strong and significant relationship" between a person's inherent number sense and his or her ability to learn mathematics in school, says psychologist Justin Halberda of Johns Hopkins University.Researchers already knew that humans have a natural grasp of numbers. The ability to make rough estimate can be found in infants as young as 4 months old, and even in some animals. This inherent number sense reaches back millions of years, researchers say, and has been used by humans and animals to help guide everyday behaviors such as hunting for food.Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.18. What does the passage say about students good at estimating quantities?19. Why do people need the ability to make rough estimates?20. What is the passage mainly about?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When thepassage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 21 t0 27 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 28 t0 30 youare required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.The discount do-it-yourself store, Aldi, has seen some big growth recently.While other businesses are cutting back, Aldi is expanding.Across the country, the discount grocery chain opened 80 stores this year. One hundred more are scheduled to open in 2010. Managers say the success canbe attributed to Aldi's business model.First, the store only carries the top l,400 most popular items. Second, shoppers rent carts for a quarter, and get a quarter back when they return their cart, thus eliminating the need for workers to do the task. Third, Aldi stores are smaller in size. Fourth, shoppers must also buy their own bags, if they didn't bring their own.Some shoppers, who enjoy the convenience of traditional grocery stores, say the Aldi model is not for them. But managers say a little work can save shoppers up to 50% of their grocery bill.Aldi, a privately owned company, won't discuss its financial numbers but management says the store chain is doing well. Other discount stores, however, have seen a drop in sales. Wal-Mart's latest earnings data shows sales fell by 1.4% from the previous year. Recent numbers for Target show an even larger drop, down 2.6% from the previous year.Key:Part I Listening Comprehension (30%)Section A1-10 ACACB CDAABSection B11-20 BCABB DAAABSection C(21) growth (22) expanding(23) scheduled (24) model(25) popular (26) rent(27) eliminating(28) Fourth, shoppers must also buy their own bags, if they didn't bring their own.(29) But managers say a little work can save shoppers up t0 50% of their grocery bill.(30) Other discount stores, however, have seen a drop in sales.Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)Section A31-45 CAADA CBDCB CAADDSection B46-55 JB ODHMFIAKPart III Integrated Testing (15%)Section A56-75 CACAB CBCDD CDAAC BCDCASection BFormat l: Short Answer Questions76. mood and the way kids learn77.
