Passage 1

Joanna Lopes has invented a number of things over the years. One day she had an idea for a dish machine that worked without using water. She went to see several dish washer manufacturers about producing the machine. But none of them were interested. Joanna found investors to support her idea and founded her own production company. She spent millions of dollars on developing her dish washer. And it was put to the market three years later. From then on, sales were very good, better even than Joanna had hopped. But Glob Domestic, one of the companies that she has been to see made its own waterless dish washer. Joanna obtained one and found they use the technical ideas she had developed. She had obtained legal protection for these ideas. So that other companies could not use them. After a long legal process, Glob Domestic was forced to stop making its competing dish washer and to pay Joanna several million dollars. Now Joanna’s waterless dish washer has 40℅of the worldwide dish washer market, and this is increasing every year.

Question 11: How did the manufacturers fill Joanna’s idea for a dish washer?

Question 12: Why was Glob Domestic forced to pay Joanna much money?

Question 13: What is the story mainly about?

Passage 2

Attention, please. In a moment, you’ll be starting your tour, but there are just a few thing s I’d like to warn through. The Glob Gist Islands National Park which has come up some rules which I’d like to read to you now. The most important rule is that no plants or animals or any other natural objects are to be removed from the park. Doing this could harm the balance of the park and it’s also illegal. Also, be careful not to transport any live material, such as seeds and insects to the islands or from one island to another. This two is against the law. All the islands have their own unique plants and animals and any introduced species could destroy the whole system. Please don’t take any food with you. If you drop as much as an orange seed, it could grow into a tree, and damage the existing system. Humans are only temporary visitors to these islands and we want to make sure the only things we leave behind is our foot prints. Now, moving to the wide life of the park, please don’t touch animal and any circumstances, because some animals are remarkably fearless. But they’ll quickly lose this fearlessnes s if they are reproached by humans. Don’t feed the animals, don’t leave litter on the islands, or throw any off your boat. Carry along a bag of some sort if you need to put litter in.

Question14: What can tourist leave behind?

Question 15: What is the most important rule during the tour of the national park? Question 16: Why does the guide emphasize the park rules before the tour?

11-13

When I was 12, my parents moved out of London to a small village in Oxford. I was the only Asian girl in my school, and I suddenly felt a bit lonely. Luckily, I had a brilliant art teacher who encouraged me to go to art college.

However, on the day of my college interview in Bath, I woke up late. I left the house wearing two odd shoes and didn't notice that my bottle of chocolate milk had poured all over the painting in my bag. Then when I finally got to the station, I got on the wrong train. Who knows, if I had gone to Bath that day, I might have become a professional artist. But I went to Swenden instead. I told the woman next to me on the train about what had happened, and she suddenly cried with laughter. It turned out she was a producer of a comedy program on the radio. To cut a long story short, I got an invitation a week later to attend an interview for the show, and the rest, as they say, is history. I am very lucky my life has been full of happy accidents. Now I am in charge of a very popular TV comedy program.

11. Why did the speaker feel lonely in her new school?

12. Where did the speaker plan to go for her college interview?

13. What incident had changed her fate?

Today, I will make a speech on zoos. Many people think zoos are cruel, and have no place in the modern world. It is my own opinion that zoos, although not perfect, do have a useful function. Firstly, zoos are places of education. Zoos can help children to appreciate nature. Further more, research into animal behavior is done in zoos, and has increased on knowledges of zoology, genetics and even psycology. Above all, zoos can protect the future of many species of animal. Many species today are in danger of extinction, and thanks to zoos, they have a chance of survival.

Opponents of zoos say that they are cruel. First of all, they argue, zoos can not recreate the environment in which animals live and because of this, animals are bored and depressed. Secondly, animals have frequent contact with human visitors. Which can be stressful? However, in my opinion, most zoos have improved recently. It is now quite rare to see animals in cages, and most zoos try hard to recreate the environment in which different animals live. In conclusion, although zoos are not perfect environment for animals, I believe that they have more advantages than disadvantages. In an ideal world, zoos would not be necessary. But as long as man hunts animals for profit and destroy their environments, zoos are essential. 14: What is the most important function of zoos according to the speaker?

15: Why are some people against zoos?

16: What does the speaker think of zoos?
