All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks.F. According to a research from Oxford University, audio books affect our reading reaction most.Is Listening to a Book Better than Reading It?Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading space, ignoring the world around you, absorbed in a tale. You read the introduction, instantly became interested and now you,re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. But, there9s a hot debate physical books vs. e-books vs. audiobooks. Does the device you're using to read affect your reaction to the book?67 There's attention span, reasoning, reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social awareness. So, whichever way you,re reading, there are definitely benefits.But, lefs look at the pros to reading with your eyes that's physical books and e-books.68 This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held moreclosely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which will likely happen at some point or other.On the other hand, there9s the audiobook. Headphones in, you're switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film - in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a fellow feeling as you hear the emotion of the narrator.69 Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain,increasing the intensity and imagery, making you enjoy it more. Yet, going back to attention period, with an audiobook it's true that it's much harder to go back and listen again.70 Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also considerthe format. It may just change your whole literary experience.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71.Is Binge-watching the New Addiction?Have you ever loved a TV show? I mean really loved it? Like, you can't wait to get to work to talk about it? What about the cliffhanger? That's the unsolved situation at the end of the episode which makes you want to watch the next one. But, when will the next one be?Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show quickly. With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favourite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.However, this amazing gift may in fact be harmful. Recent research from British media watchdog Ofcom(英国通信管理局)finds that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their housework. Next weUl be missing work!Bingeing has other connections 一 binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking, all of which are often associated with compulsive behaviour, a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to failure of attention in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?The numerous information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, like any behaviour done to extremes, it can become dangerous. And when the activity begins to enter other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, a little of what you fancy does you good.V.

The short passages and the longer 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.Have you ever seen someone and just got that feeling that they aren't friendly? Or have you ever met someone that was warm and inviting? See, you judge a person like the cover of a book no matter what your teachers told you. We need to know who is trustworthy, who is a leader and who you should stay away from. Today we are going to go over 3 tips that may help to better your first impression in any environment.No.l Practice confident body language.There have been many studies conducted that show that your body language not only influences your physiology, but also the nature of the people around you. If you have your arms crossed, your feet tapping nervously, you'll be seen as timid and closed off. Instead of hoping that someone will help you break out of it, you have to do it yourself. Practice at home by sitting up straight, opening your arms up and widening your legs. You will appear and actually feel more confident if you make this a habit.Tip No.2 Be on time.This applies to many business situations. If this is an important meeting, set aside time to get ready to get there early and some buffer time just in case of something like extra traffic or missing a flight. Being on time shows that you take them seriously.Tip No.3 Remove the words "Um” and “Ah”If you have the best content in the world, but every sentence has "Um" or “Ah" or "Like", you will not be heard. Practicing your speech at home is a great way to improve your tonality to remove your filler words and become a more confident speaker. I find that the more and more people you speak to in public, the better you get at avoiding this.Now, try to make them habits one at a time. If you can't, fbcus on one specific topic and work on it.Now listen again, please.Questions:11. What kind of people might benefit most from this passage?12. Why is being on time important for business situations?13. How can you avoid using filler words such as “Um" and “Ah"？Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.We've all been there staring at a pile of books, desperately hoping that what we study will stick in our mind. Many of us have probably asked if there's any way that we can get better at remembering things. So, why don't we look at what memory experts say about this?Every student who has made flashcards knows that it can be helpful to go back over what they've studied before. According to The Learning Scientists, a group of cognitive scientists 一 we can learn things better if we wait for some time before trying to study them again. They say that trying to fetch something from your memory after you have had some time to forget it will make it easier to remember in future.Another study tip from The Learning Scientists is to change between different topics as you study. They say this can help you build links between different ideas. Now, linking ideas and relating them to each other or to images are often suggested as good ways to memorize something.There are also more general things that we can do to improve our memory. Hancock, former world memory champion, says that being generally organized makes things easier for your brain, while many other experts also recommend avoiding stress, alcohol and smoking, and that we should get a lot of rest and exercise. So, the good news to take from this is that while it may be hard, improving our memory is something we can control.Now listen again, please.Questions:14. How does the use of flashcards help to better memory?15. Why is changing between different topics helpful in memorizing things?16. What can be concluded from the passage?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hi, Jennifer. Tm really struggling with this semester's workload. Do you have any advice?W: Have you considered making a study guide? It's a tool you can use to take the stress out of studying. Fve been using one since the last semester and it has really helped relieve a lot of stress.M: Sounds just like what I need. My main problem is that my study folder is full of notes and worksheets, and is totally disorganized. I don't know where to start.W: Okay. Well, the main thing is to have everything in the right place. Whatever you are reviewing, it's important that it's arranged fbr your particular needs of that subject and in the most user-friendly way you can. What kind of learner are you?M: I'm not sure.W: Well, visual learners prefer using images, pictures, colors and maps to organize information. Logical learners would rather use logic, reasoning and systems. Vm an emotional learner, which means I need to connect to information emotionally to understand it.M: Well, Tm very much dependent on vision as a way of taking in information.W: Then I suggest reorganizing your notes using color-coded sections in your study guides, or using idea-mapping to lay out the information.M: So you think I should arrange my notes using color and pictures in place of texts?W: Yes, you'll probably start to grasp information a lot quicker that way.M: That's amazing. I didn't know there were so many different ways to learn.Now listen again, please.Questions:17. What is the man's main problem in study?18. According to the woman, what is the mo
