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.We can use Google to translate words, but our family is how we learn to interpret the world. That learning process can be frightful, funny, and even a matter of life and death.I remember one scene as if it happened yesterday. I was 5 years old. Louie, my favorite uncle, wasa mailman. Heused to walk fast, despite his short, uneven legs. He let me push the shopping cart on a grocery excursion. I made a mistake and took another sh opper’s cart as we sped down the meat section. The angry victim yelled at my uncle to watch me more carefully. Louie, one of the kindest and funniest persons I knew, pretended to yell at me and hit me on the head with the store’s advertising leaflet: “You boy, what did I tell you? WHAT DID I TELL YOU?”Growing up with Louie, I immediately realized this was playful and I laughed, and so did he. He smiled at the angry grown-up, and said, “I’m sorry, buddy.” That first led to a smile, then laughter from someone who, seconds before, was ready for battle. Young as I was, I sensed I just witnessed something remarkable. Rock beats scissors. Wit beats anger.The first people who help us make sense of the world are family members. They are the early teachers of our experience.Often these family members are meant to help a child cope with immediate circumstances, but some meanings can last a lifetime. Some enduring interpretations are gifts; others are something else.Questions:11. Why did the shopper yell at my uncle?12. How did my uncle help me through the trouble?13. What can we learn from the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.It’s 10 am, time for news.The international business H&M has created a recycling program for clothes. The program invites people to bring clothes they no longer want to H&M stores. Shoppers who donate old clothes can receive a discount on new things they buy.H&M does several things with shoppers' old clothes. They sell some clothes again. They turn some clothes into other useful items.Bananas are nutritious, a good source of all kinds of vitamins and minerals.They can help fight depression and lower blood pressure. According to a new study, bananas turn out to have a secret weapon. And this secret weapon could protect against viruses.Scientists are now taking a protein found in bananas and turning it into a drug that may someday fight viral infections.The secret weapon is called banana lectin,a protein that keeps viruses out of cells.In some countries people almost take the“sharing economy” for granted, such as Didi, Uber, etc. It’s easy to pull up an app, push a few buttons and have a taxi at your doorstep within minutes. However, a paper released earlier this year by New York University found that those with the most to gain are the low-income participants in this economy. Lower income consumers gain the most from renting out their goods or renting their own houses on these platforms. For example, an extra$20 here or there for a waitress renting out her car could serve to really increase a waitress’income than a lawyer’s.Questions:14.What is the first piece of news about?15.What has been found in the new study about bananas?16. Who benefits most from the sharing economy?Section CDirections: 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.M: Good morning, the National Museum. Can I help you?W: Oh yes. Good morning.

As for the history workshop, our staff will teach children how to make paper.W:Fine. And what about ages?M:Well, all ages from five upwards are welcome, though we do ask that children below eight years old are accompanied by an adult.W:That wouldn’t be a problem. What about the cost?M:Well, It’s $15 a child.W:Oh, very reasonable. Thank you.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.W: Ray, I sure am glad to see you.
