　　CONVERSATION 1

　　M: So what time do you think we should have the party on Saturday?

　　W: How about inviting people to come at 6:00 PM, then we'll have the afternoon to prepare food and drink and stuff like that?

　　M: Yes. I was thinking that around six would be good too. What food should we provide?

　　W: Well, I had thought about baking a cake and some biscuits, and now I think we should prepare some sandwiches and snacks and some other kinds of food so that people can just help themselves rather than getting everyone to sit down at the table to eat a meal. I think that’s a bit too formal. It's better to let people walk around and talk to each other or sit where they like.

　　M: Yes, that sounds good. I’ll go to the supermarket to get some drinks. I think I might try that big new supermarket on the other side of town, see what they have. I’ve not been there before. I think we should get some beer and wine and some fruit juice and other soft drinks. What do you think?

　　W: Sounds great. I think those drinks will be enough. And I heard that the new supermarket offers some big discounts to attract customers, so going there should be a great idea. What should we do about music?

　　M：Maybe we should also ask Pual to bring his computer and speakers so that we can play some music. He has a great collection of different stuff. Yes. All right.

　　Q8. What are the speakers mainly talking about?

　　8. C) Preparations for Saturday’s get-together.

　　Q9. Why does the woman say it is a good idea to serve foods that guests can help themselves too?

　　10. A) It offers some big discounts.

　　11. D) Bring his computer and speakers.

　　Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　CONVERSATION 2

　　W: I’m thinking of buying a car. I wouldn’t need to use it every day, but I think it would be very convenient to have one for the weekends.

　　M: That's exciting. Would this be your first car?

　　W: Nope.

　　M: I actually owned a car for a little while when I lived in Miami. You see, in America, many cities don't have good public transport. So most people need their own car to get around.

　　W: I see.

　　M: So have you got your mindset on a specific model?

　　W: No, not really. I've heard that German cars are very reliable, but I haven’t decided on a specific model yet. I’d also like it to be small so that it's easy to drive in the city.

　　M: I have a friend who sells second-hand cars. In fact, I think his family owns the business. He’s a really nice guy and he knows a lot about cars. I could give you his phone number if you want, and you could call him and ask him questions.

　　W: Hmm. That’s nice of you, but I don’t want to feel obliged to buy one of his car.

　　M: Oh no. He’s not like that. He’s a good friend of mine and he would never try to pressure you.

　　W: Well, if you trust him, then I guess it should be okay. To be honest, I could use some help in deciding what type of vehicle would best suit my needs. Speaking to an expert would be a good idea.

　　M: Exactly. You have nothing to worry about. He’s a lovely guy and he'll be happy to help.

　　12. D) For convenience at weekends.

　　Q13. What does the woman say about German cars?

　　Directions: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.

　　Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　PASSAGE 1

　　Pigs are not native to North America. They were first introduced to California by Spanish and Russian explorers and settlers many centuries ago. In the early times, pigs were allowed to wander freely and search of food. This practice also allowed many pigs to escape from farms and live in the wild, which became a problem.

　　In fact, as one of the most damaging invasive species on the continent, wild pigs caused millions of dollars in crop damage yearly. They also harbored dozens of diseases that threaten both humans and farm animals. Forest patches with wild pigs have been found to have considerably reduced plant and animal diversity.

　　In addition to either eating other animals or their food supply, wild pigs damaged native habitats by reaching up crosses and rubbing on trees. Their activities may also create opportunities for invasive plants to colonize these areas. Wild pigs will eat almost anything containing calories. Mice, deer, birds, snakes and frogs are among their victims.

　　They can also harm other wild species through indirect competition rather than eating them or shrinking their food supply. On one particular United States island, wild pigs themselves became an attractive food source for a species of mainland eagle. Eagles began breeding on the island and also feeding on a species of native fox. The foxes were almost wiped out completely.

　　Q16. What do we learn about early pigs in North America?

　　16. A) Many escaped from farms and became wild.

　　Q17. Why are wild pigs a threat to humans?

　　17. D) They carry a great many diseases.

　　Q18. What does the passage say about the native foxes on a U.S. island?

　　18. C) They fell victim to eagles.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　PASSAGE 2

　　A pair of entrepreneurs are planning to build and launch a spacecraft that would carry and roast coffee beans in outer space. The craft will use the heat of re-entry to roast coffee beans, as they float inside it in a pressurized tank. The effect would be to roast the beans all over and produce perfect coffee. The businessmen say that on earth, beans can easily break apart and get burned in the roaster. But if gravity is removed, the beans float around and in a heated oven, receiving 360 degrees of evenly distributed heat and roasting to near perfection. The spacecraft will reach a height of around 200 kilometers. The beans would then be roasted and the heat generated by the crafts 20 minute re-entry into earth's atmosphere. Temperatures and the pressurized tank will be kept to around 200 degrees Celsius. Once back on earth, the planet’s first space roasted beans would be used to make coffee that would be sold for the first time in Dubai. This is where the pair’s company is based. It is not clear how much they would charge for a cup. Surprisingly, the Space Roaster concept-should it go ahead-will not be the first attempt to take coffee into space. In 2015, two Italian companies collaborated on the construction of a similar type of spacecraft, which was the first coffee machine designed for use in space.

　　Q19. What are a pair of entrepreneurs planning to do?

　　19. B) Roast coffee beans in outer space.

　　Q20. What does the passage say about coffee beans roasted on earth?

　　20. A) They can easily get burned.

　　Q21. What did the two Italian companies do in 2015?

　　21. C) They collaborated on building the first space coffee machine.

　　Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　PASSAGE 3

　　In cold and snowy Alaska, there’s a village called Takotna. It has a population of mere 49 adults. Each March, this tiny village swells up in numbers because it is located in the middle of a race that takes place every year. It is a seven-day race called “The Iditarod Trail”. And participants stop at Takotna for the obligatory 24 hour rest.

　　Lucky for them, Takotna is famous for its delicious fruit pies. Weeks before the competitors arrive, the residents of Takotna start preparing what is without question their biggest event of the year. The whole village chips in to help, including the kids, who end up developing their baking skills at an early age. Exhausted and hungry racers are greeted with delightful pies of all kinds, such as apple, orange, lemon, or banana.

　　They consume the pies and a stomach warming race fuel. The toughness of the race allows for racers to eat pretty much whatever they want. The more calories, the better. Takotna has gained a reputation for its dessert-based hospitality since the 1970s. It started with one person, Jane Newton. Jane moved from Iditarod with her husband in 1972 and opened a restaurant. A rich and filling fruit pies quickly got the races attention, and the village gained some fame as a result. Proud residents then started to refer to Jane as queen of Takotna.

　　Q22. Why do a lot of people come to the village of Takotna every March?

　　22. B) A race passes through it annually.

　　Q23. What is the village of Takotna famous for?

　　23. C) Its tasty fruit pies.

　　Q24. Who comes to help with the event of the year?
