Passage Two
I am thinking about buying another car, but, uh, let’s see here. One of them is an old, medium-sized car. One thousand four hundred ninety-five dollars, but I’m concerned about the number of miles, so that might not be the best choice.The second one is an old minivan, nineteen…wait…two thousand six, it’s four thousand four hundred ninety-five dollars, but I don’t think my kids are so interested in riding in an old minivan. In reality, a 2006 minivan might not be that old, but it depends on how it was driven by the previous owner.The last thing is a Jeep, twenty-five thousand nine hundred ninety dollars. I can see myself going over the mountains, through the hills, but unfortunately, I have other bills to pay, so I think I’ll have to think about that a little bit more.Questions 14-16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. What is the possible problem with the first car?15. What year is the minivan?16. What is the price for the third car?As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow because they are themselves on the main road.Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “Slow” sigh, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said. “You didn’t stop at the crossing.”“But the sign there doesn’t say ‘stop’,” answered Mr. Williams. “It just says ‘Slow’, and I did go slow.”The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’ll be blowed. I am in the wrong street!”Questions 17-20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. When do people not have to stop or go slow according to the passage?18. What do we know about Mr. Williams as a driver?19. Why didn’t Mr. Williams stop at the crossing?20. What can you learn from the ending of the story?The roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which followed the American Revolution of 1776. Those who had (21)supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went to the Ontario region of Canada. From there they (22)spread to all parts of the country. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the (23)cheapness of land. Within fifty years, the population of Upper Canada had (24)reached 100,000—mainly people from the United States.In the east, the Atlantic Provinces had been settled with English speakers much earlier, but (25)even today these areas contain less than 10 percent of the population, so that they have only a (26)minor role in the development of the Canadian “norm.” In Quebec, the use of French language and culture (27)remains from the first period of exploration, with the majority of people (28)using French as a mother-tongue; here, English and French coexist uneasily.Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of the English spoken in North America—and (29)is often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people, Canadians themselves insist on (30)not being identified with either, and certainly there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view.
