Directions: In Section B, you will hear two passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. 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.
To many ladies, applying sun cream can be a time-consuming task.
But thanks to a clever device, getting ready for the beach has been made much simpler.
SnappyScreen, which was created by Kristen McClellan, is the equipment that can automatically apply sun cream to holidaymakers in just ten seconds from head to toe.
Its online usage video shows that users can press a touch screen to select their height range and which SPF they would like to apply, with 15, 30 and 40 factors on offer.
Once stepping onto the equipment, users are sure to get a 360-degree exposure to the cream. Besides, the facilities come with a pair of glasses to protect the eyes.
Miss McClellan came up with the idea for SnappyScreen after she had grown tired of trying to apply sun cream over her entire body during holidays. She then managed to raise $400,000 from investors. The money was essential to the final release of the product.
Now, hotels that purchase SnappyScreen equipments usually place them by the pools or beach entrances.
A person to use the equipment can purchase the SnappyScreen card from the hotels and then
select her desired process. She then has seven seconds to step onto the equipment before the sun cream is applied onto the whole of her body.
Questions:
11. Which of the functions c an’t be offered by SnappyScreen?
12. What finally helped the SnappyScreen to be produced?
13. How could users purchase the service of SnappyScreen?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
A foreigner, praised as a hero after saving a small boy hanging from a balcony in Paris, is to be made a French citizen.
After meeting the hero, the French President said Mr. Gassama would be made a French citizen. He personally thanked Mr Gassama, gave him a medal for courage and offered him a job in the country’s fire service.
The drama that pushed him to fame happened on Saturday evening on a street in the north of Paris.
Mr Gassama said he had been walking past when he saw a crowd gather in front of a building with a boy hanging from the balcony.
He said: "I just didn't have time to think, I ran across the road to climb up the building and try to catch the boy.
The boy was crying and had suffered a broken foot when Gassama carried him to safety.
The boy's parents were not at home at the time. His father was later arrested. He told police he himself went shopping when his son was alone at home. And he returned home later than planned because he was playing a reality game on his phone.
Questions:
14. What reward didn’t Gassama receive after saving the boy?
15. How was the boy when he was saved?
16. What caused the incident?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Hi, Jack. What’s up? You look worried.
M: Hey, Anne. I am working on my term paper and it seems that not much progress has been made lately.
W: What’s your paper about?
M: The artificial intelligence technology is heatedly talked about today and my paper is about AI? W: Wow, what a hot topic! It’s said that AI is going to totally change humans’ working model, living styles or even thinking pattern.
M: Sure it will. But my focus would be on the negative impact it may have on humans. Just throwing some cold water, you know.
W: I see. Objective assessment of any new technology is encouraged all the time. And what’s your problem then?
M: I have interviewed many people in the field and I have studied some AI products. Now I am desperately in need of materials about AI theory. Although there are some books available, I still can’t find a book providing in-depth thoughts in the field.
W: Try the science library in the city center. I used to find useful resources there.
M: That’s a great idea.
W: The library not only has a huge collection of books in science, but also offers valuable online information concerned. Its powerful online resource is its biggest attraction.
M: I see. So is everyone allowed there?
W: Only members. And you can apply for its membership online.
M: Any special requests?
W: Nothing particular. Just provide your ID number, your address and a bank account number. M: Bank account number?
W: To make sure that you are able to pay the fine for any overdue book you might borrow.
M: Ok.
Questions:

Summary
Workplace is more polite than other public places in today’s America. People complain about the ever-worsening problem of public incivility. In contrast, the workplace is almost rudeness-free. Good workplace manners are partly out of self-interest for professional prospects. Companies’ focus on teamwork culture is also a reason. However, room for manner improvement in workplaces still exists according to many workers.
