several math word problems you will hear each word problem two times after you hear each word problem look at the three expressions and choose the one that matches the word problem you heard then fill in the correct Circ circle on your answer sheet let's do sample B together to convert temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius you have to subtract 32 from the degrees Fahrenheit and then multiply by 5556 for example when you would like to convert 50° fah to De C you have to subtract 32 from 50 and multiply by. 5556 which expression should you use listen again to convert temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius you have to subtract 32 from the degrees fit and then multiply by. 5556 for example when you would like to convert 50° fah to De CSI you have to subtract 32 from 50 and multiply by 5556 which expression should you use now fill in a circle if you chose C the third expression you are correct get ready to do question numbers 5 to 8 now we will begin number five Ava has four bags with three marbles in each bag Jon has three bags with five marbles in each bag how many more marbles does Jon have you can calculate this by multiplying the number of bags and marbles of each person which is to multiply four by three for Ava and multiply three by five for John then you subtract Ava's result from that of Jon's which expression should you use listen again Ava has four bags with three marbles in each bag John has three bags with five marbles in each bag how many more marbles does John on have you can calculate this by multiplying the number of bags and marbles of each person which is to multiply four by three for Ava and multiply three by five for John then you subtract Ava's result from that of Jon's which expression should you use number six Peter earns 200 bot per hour from delivering food regardless of the number of orders he does this job 3 days a week 4 hours per day he can calculate how much money he will earn each month which means four weeks by multiplying all the numbers together which expression does he use listen again Pete earns 200 B per hour from delivering food regardless of the number of orders he does this job 3 days a week 4 hours per day he can calculate how much money he will earn each month which means four weeks by multiplying all the numbers together which expression does he use number seven Natty wants to invite 20 friends to her birthday this will cost her parents a total of 5,000 bought however only four fifths of her friends can join the party how much money will it cost Natty can calculate this by dividing 5,000 by 20 to find the cost per person then multiply that result by the real number of people who can come which is 4 fths of 20 which expression should she use listen again Natty wants to invite 20 friends to her birthday this will cost her parents a total of 5,000 bot however only four fifths of her friends can join the party how much money will it cost Natty can calculate this by dividing 5,000 by 20 to find the cost per person then multiply that result by the real number of people who can come which is 4 fths of 20 which expression should she use number eight Laura would like to calculate the total amount of Interest she will get this year she has two accounts with different interest rates she get gets 1.5% from the first account where she can maintain a 10,500 bot deposit throughout the year she gets another 2% from the second account of 21,400 bought the calculation is easy she simply adds the interest amounts of both accounts together the interest of the first account is 10,500 multiplied by 0.015 and for the second account it is 21,400 m multiplied by 0.02 which expression does she use listen again Laura would like to calculate the total amount of Interest she will get this year she has two accounts with different interest rates she gets 1.5% from the first account where she can maintain a 10,500 bot deposit throughout the year she gets another 2% from the second account of 21,400 bought the calculation is easy she simply adds the interest amounts of both accounts together the interest of the first account is 10,500 multiplied by 0.015 and for the second account it is 21,400 multiplied by 0.02 which expression does she use part three understand classroom dialogue questions 9 through 17 directions in this part of the test you will hear conversations between a teacher and a student in a class after you hear each conversation you will answer some questions about what you heard fill in the correct circle on your answer sheet let's listen to the first conversation what can be used to differentiate identical twins I learned that they even share the same DNA you're right identical twins are born from the same egg and sperm so they share the same DNA however their fingerprints are always unique I see how come all of us have different fingerprints well that's thanks to Nature fingerprints are formed in weeks 10 to 15 when the fetus is in the womb and the patterns of the fingerprints are influenced by the environment in there for example the blood pressure of the mother while pregnant the density of some of the fluid in the womb or how the fetus is moving around inside the womb that's amazing so there must be a million fingerprint patterns yes that's right however there are three different major patterns of fingerprints what are they the first one is Loops which can point towards the thumb or the little finger the second one is called whirls which includes several configurations of circular or spiral patterns finally arches are wav likee this type arches is the rarest pattern while Loops are the most common type now let's do question numbers 9- 11 number nine what are the teacher and the student mainly discussing a types and the formation of fingerprints B how identical twins share the same DNA C how people's fingerprints can be differentiated now fill in a circle number 10 which one does not influence fingerprint patterns a the density of fluid in the womb B the blood pressure of one's mother C the surroundings where a child is raised now fill in a circle number 11 what is the most common type of fingerprints a Loops b whls c arches now fill in a circle now let's listen to the second conversation you've been playing basketball for years but I've never asked you this who's your favorite player I like many people but the most iconic basketball player for me is Michael Jordan he has been many things a basketball player a baseball player and an owner of a league franchise but as you know he's most famous for his career as a basketball player he was my inspiration when I was a kid I loved watching his games and then I started playing basketball I like him too I have heard a lot about him so I searched and watched some of his previous games unfortunately he has retired so I don't get to watch him play live apart from his skills on the court his person Al life is also interesting can you tell me more about that sure he was interested in basketball but didn't get to be on his school team at first because he was not that tall he turned his attention to baseball instead however as a late developer he grew to 6' 3 in and was an important part of the team when he was in his junior year I see he was very successful as a basketball player until his dad was murdered in 1993 he temporarily stopped playing and later had some gambling issues however he found his way back to the basketball court and continued to play before retiring at the age of 40 now let's do question numbers 12- 14 number 12 what is the conversation about a the personal life of Michael Jordan B how Michael Jordan became a successful businessman C Michael Jordan and his Untold career as a baseball player now fill in a circle number 13 why did Michael Jordan decide to play baseball instead of basketball a he was not in his junior year yet B he found that he was better at playing baseball C he he was not tall enough to join the basketball team now fill in a circle number 14 which of the following was not one of his difficulties in life a he got divorced B his dad was killed C he had gambling issues now fill in a circle now let's listen to the third conversation this semester you'll get get to choose children's literature to read you will write me a report which includes a summary and a reflection you can choose from the list here excuse me Mr Jones I don't see Harry Potter on the list can I read it well of course you can read it for pleasure but not for this classwork anyway talking about Harry Potter I have a question to ask you is Harry Potter children's literature H from the definition of children's literature you told us last time yes it can be considered children's literature except that each book seems to be quite long compared with other children's literature you're right this is one of the reasons why people think Harry Potter changed the world of children's literature traditionally a children's book would be about 170 pages long however since the first Harry Potter book was over 300 pages and was still very popular the size of other children's books now has increased to about 290 Pages minimum that's a lot I just enjoyed reading the Harry Potter series Without counting the pages I know apart from setting the new size of books Harry Potter created a boom in young adult reading and opened the market for longer young adult book series I totally agree I love reading more and can read for longer after reading Harry Potter Barnes & Noble the famous Bookshop has seen a trend in longer series as in more than three books in young adults literature now let's do question numbers 15 through 17 number 15 what are the teacher and the student mainly discussing a top 10 children's books of all time B the definition of children's literature C how Harry Potter changed the world of children's literature now fill in a circle number 16 how long have children's books on average become after the popularity of Harry Potter a about 70 to 90 Pages B less than 200 Pages C 290 Pages or more now fill in a circle number 17 what was the trend in the children's book Market begun by Harry Potter a longer series of books B books containing more fantasy C more books with children as main characters now fill in a circle part four listen and respond to academic lectures questions 18- 24 directions in this part of the test you will hear a teacher talking to a class after you hear each talk you will answer some questions about what you heard fill in the correct circle on your answer sheet let's listen to the first talk oceanography or ocean science is the study of the ocean there are many branches in this area but in today's brief talk I'd like to discuss a few key branches what oceanographers study in each branch and each Branch's importance let's get started shall we one of the most important branches nowadays is biological oceanography it is the study of plants and animals and their connections in Marine Biology for example there have been some studies about the effects of pollutants on fish populations or how the changing ocean affects specific kinds of Plankton the knowledge from studies like these could help us warn people of possible health risks from consuming fish or create better policies for controlling or reducing pollution apart from the study of living organisms there's another branch called geological oceanography that focuses on the physical aspect of the ocean which means the formation of the seafloor and how it changes over time scientists in this field use special GPS technology to create a map of the seafloor and other underwater structures this could lead to more accurate predictions of earthquakes and tsunamis another interesting branch is chemical oceanography it is the study of chemical substances in seawater and how they are affected by weather human activities and some other factors the results can be used to understand how the sea currents move around the world and to identify some useful resources from the marine environment expent now let's do question numbers 18- 21 number 18 what is the main idea of the talk a key characteristics of oceanographers B biological and geological oceanography C the importance and key branches of oceanography now fill in a circle number 19 what can be studied in biological oceanography a SE Flor B fish and Plankton C Pollution Control policies now fill in a circle number 20 what is the importance of studying physical structures of the ocean a to better predict some disasters B to make an accurate seaf Flor map C to develop some special Technologies now fill in a circle number 21 we can identify some useful resources in the ocean by a studying the currents of the sea B studying the effects of pollution on fish C studying chemical components in seawater now fill in a circle now let's listen to the second conversation I'm sure all of you have felt that one particular song is more beautiful than others you like this song but don't like that song well we may say that the beauty of Music lies in the years of the listener it's a personal preference after all right however in music theory studies show that there are some factors that make great Melodies firstly great Melodies often use repetition when you see the word repetition you may ask isn't that boring well not when it comes to music studies show that repetition helps us identify meaningful musical patterns and tends to guide us towards Imagining the next note before it comes we usually hear the same set of Melodies repeated over and over in a song through its verses and hooks in pop music nowadays and In classical music too the second factor is that great Melodies often use a limited number of tones there is actually a subset of 12 possible tones for a composer however in most western classical and Chinese music only only five to seven tones are used in a song This corresponds to a study by a neuroscientist that human short-term memory can store up to five to seven items therefore using five to seven tones is enough to keep us interested and is not too challenging for us to listen to versus if there were too many different tones all at once the third Factor I'd like to share with you today is the climactic point of Melodies climactic points can be for example high notes a long duration or a strong beat it is like the focus of the Melodies climactic points will give a sense of purpose to the song and make it memorable there can be more than one climactic point in a song a successful climactic point will likely make the listeners return to the song now let's do question Numbers 22 through 24 number 22 what is the main idea of the talk a what makes great Melodies B factors affecting personal preference of songs c a comparison between Western and Chinese music now fill in a circle number 23 why is Melody repetition recommended in songs a it helps the listeners remember the lyrics better when singing B it was used in class classical music so it is an effective technique to follow C it helps listeners recognize musical patterns and imagine the following note now fill in a circle number 24 which of the following is not suggested when composing songs a using about 5 to seven tones in a verse B having more than one climactic point in a song C adding a Melody focal point using a high note or a strong beat now fill in a circle you have now completed the listening section now we are ready to begin the reading test please stop the recording now
