Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear several short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some 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).

Passage One

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Script:

Passage One

Many people have concerns about taking their cars on long trips, especially if their cars are getting on in years or mileage. The truth is, long trips are actually easier on your car than day-to-day driving, but a breakdown far from home can really destroy the fun. A few simple checks will help you to avoid many common problems.

Two to four weeks before you go, get any major repairs done. If your car needs major repair or maintenance, do it at least one month before you go. That will allow plenty of time for any problems related to the repair to appear.

Before you pack, give your car a good wash. Clean cars always seem to run better. Besides, who wants to travel in a dirty car? Make sure your tires are inflated to the proper pressure. Low pressure can be a problem. Follow the instructions for checking tire pressure in your owner's manual. You should also check the spare tire. Make sure it is fully inflated and that other important spare parts are in the trunk.

Before you go, open your suitcases and take one last look. Ask yourself, do you really need all that stuff? If there's anything you can do without, leave it home. If you're carrying lots of heavy objects, position them forward in the trunk and divide the weight evenly side to side. Cars don't have unlimited carrying capacity, so don't overload.

There is no guarantee that unexpected things cannot happen. But if you've followed these guidelines, you've avoided a lot of potential problems. Relax and enjoy your trip!

People have concerns about driving on long trips ______.

A) if their cars are newly bought

B) if they have never driven on long trips before

C) if their cars are quite old

D) if they haven't bought insurance for their cars

Passage Two

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Script:

Before you fly to China, you should know that the national airline is Air China. As is true of any flight, travelers should confirm their return flight reservations; otherwise they would have problems. Also, be prepared for a long flight. A nonstop from New York to Beijing lasts 14 hours while a flight to Shanghai lasts up to 18 hours.

There are four airport hubs within China: Beijing, Guangzhou Baiyun International, Shanghai Hongqiao and Shanghai Pudong. Each airport includes taxis, public and shuttle buses, duty free shops, banks, post offices, business and Internet facilities and bars and restaurants. Important to note is the departure tax, which is paid in Chinese currency, or RMB, only.

Once you are in China, you can take many kinds of transportation like rail, sea and automobile. Railways are the major means of transportation throughout China. The trains are inexpensive, safe and well maintained operating between major cities. There are three types of trains, the Express option being the best of the three. There are four varieties of fare: hard seat, soft seat, hard sleeper and soft sleeper. Children under 3 feet tall travel free and those under 4 feet pay a quarter of the fare. Train travel is often a comfortable experience although it takes much time, due to the distance between major cities. National plane travel saves your time. Flights from Shanghai to Beijing, Hong Kong to Shanghai and Guangzhou to Shanghai are about 2 hours; however, the roundtrip travel costs 350 dollars. Although express train travel between these cities ranges from 12 to 18 hours, the prices are much lower, between 15 to 30 dollars.

I have a variety of trips lined up for later in the year and on breaks from school, many places to go indeed. But for the summer, I'm looking to take a trip or two for two or three days to just go and have a good time. Somewhere where there'll be a decent number of people my age, I'm 20; somewhere where I can go out at night and party for a few days and then come back. I'm not looking to go overseas. I went to Europe earlier this year and loved it, but that's not something to do on my three days off every week.
