When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. What's the attraction of coffee shops? It's been said that JK Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books sitting in one in Edinburgh. But if you're spending all day buying one expensive coffee after another and haven't sold your first novel yet, the costs can really add up. For those who work outside of a traditional office or just want to take time out, there's a new alternative in London: a pay-per-minute café. You'll be given a clock when you come in to keep time. When you leave, you return the item and pay the bill. The cost of hanging out, eating, working and meeting new people in the place is 3p per minute - or ￡1.80 an hour. The shop's owner, Ivan Meetin, says: \spend there\ Customers help themselves to coffee and cookies. They can also bring their own food to eat while accessing the Internet through W-Fi. The new coffee shop's atmosphere is relaxed. Meetin believes his coffee shop is a bit like \with a face. Like-minded people go there to socialize. Some feel so much at home that they wash the dishes. The concept of coffee shops, where you pay for the time and not for the cup, has proved popular in Russia. Only time will tell if the British will warm to the idea. Questions:

Eleven overseas students from six countries including Russia, Republic of Korea and Zambia sat the final exam. Using different symbols, the AI corrector accurately marked for various errors, including missing characters, incorrect selection and word order. The AI corrector was developed by Chinese Internet giant Alibaba, which said its accuracy rate neared or was even beyond its human counterparts.

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

M: Hey, Paul, look at how many people liked and commented on my funny post about Bill. W: That post isn’t funny! It’s just plain mean.

M: Of course it’s funny! If it weren’t funny, why would so many people have liked it? W: A lot of students enjoy bullying Bill, so of course they go along when you do it. M: My post doesn’t bully Bill! It’s just a harmless little joke.

W: Bill didn’t seem to think it was harmless. Did you see how upset he was when he checked his phone after class?

M: Bill is just too sensitive. He needs to learn how to take a joke. The things I say aren’t bad compared to what other kids do. Did you see Sam push Bill halfway down the stairs this morning?

W: Yeah, that was bad, but that doesn’t excuse the mean things you say. Continual bullying can feel even worse than a single mean action.

M: Look. This is just the way kids at our school treat each other. Do you remember the way Sam made fun of me last year? I learned to live with it, and so can Bill.

W: Yes, but I’m sure you still remember how much that whole thing hurt. Why would you want to make someone else go through the same thing?

M: Do you really think my post hurt Bill that much?

W: Maybe not by itself, but the constant bullying is certainly hurting him. This sort of thing can affect people’s grades and their emotional health.

M: I’m still not totally convinced that what I posted about Bill was that bad. But maybe I won’t post anything else about him this week. Questions:

17. According to the woman, why did so many people like the man’s post about Bill? (B) 18. Which of the following has nothing to do with Sam? (C)

19. What does the woman think might be the result of constant bullying? (D) 20. What will the man probably do after the conversation? (D)

IV. Summary writing

Parents are generally classified into three different types. The monarch-type parents are self-centered and dominant, so they usually force their opinions on children. The servant-type parents are child-centered, willing to devote everything to meeting children’s demands unconditionally. The friend-type parents are democratic and wise, who accompany their children through effective communication and joint work. Children favor the last type.

Parenting differs depending on parent’s different views of life. The Monarch-type parents don’t respect their children and force regulations upon them. The servant-type parents willingly sacrifice everything to satisfy children’s needs and wishes. The friend-type parents, the most welcomed type, are democratic and friendly while sticking to their principles. A re-examination of parenting is necessary for children’s healthy growth.
