Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked
several questions on each of them. The passages and the 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.
Imagine walking into a movie theater without being greeted by the smell of popcorn. It’s hard to believe, isn’t
it For decades, popcorn and movies have gone hand in hand. However, the relationship between the two is
younger than you may think.
Back in the 1920s, movie theaters were well designed and were a place of luxury. And popcorn wasn’t
permitted there. It wasn’t because popcorn was unpopular. The snack had been loved by people, especially kids,
for decades. Sold from a cart, popcorn had a reputation for being a street food. Movie theater owners were against
popcorn because they believed it would damage the top-quality atmosphere they wanted to create.
In the mid-1920s, more movie theaters opened. Not all of these new theaters were luxurious. They allowed
people to eat popcorn while watching movies. A couple of years later, the Great Depression hit America. In order
to survive, theaters had to lower their ticket prices. And moviegoers would often buy a bag of popcorn since it was
the only snack that had remained cheap. Soon, movies and popcorn became a popular pairing across the United
States. The smell of popcorn filled movie theaters all over.
Today, popcorn is considered an essential part of the movie-going experience.

Questions:
11. What is the passage mainly about
12. Why was popcorn at first prohibited in movie theaters in the 1920s
13. Which of the following is a factor contributing to the pairing of movies and popcorn
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
One of the world’s biggest education companies says it will release all of its books for the United States
college market in digital form first. This breaks from traditional publishing, and from the more costly paper
versions of college textbooks.
Pearson, a British company, provides textbooks, class materials and testing. In recent years, changes in the
U.S. market have hurt Pearson’s sales and profits, as more students are trying to save money by buying used
textbooks. Pearson’s sales have dropped each of the last five years. Thousands of people have lost their jobs, and
the long-time business had to sell parts of the company to rebuild.
But now, there is good news for the company’s business. Earlier this year, it said it was offering less costly
digital versions of their textbooks. The company aims to see its sales grow in 2020.
Going forward, all future releases of its 1,500 current U.S. titles will be “digital first”. The company will
update the books whenever there are new developments in the area of study. Most printed textbooks are updated
every three years.
Pearson’s current e-books cost about 40 dollars. Students can pay 79 dollars for extra learning tools connected
to the e-books. Printed textbooks usually cost around 110 dollars, but can cost as much as 300 dollars.
Pearson leaders believe the change to digital first will help the company have more predictable earnings
because students may have less of a reason to buy used books.

Questions:
14. What is the passage mainly about
15. Why have Pearson’s sales in the U.S. college market dropped in the last five years
16. What is one of the advantages of Pearson’s digital books
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: What are you doing, Emma
W: I’m deciding which of these pictures from my birthday party to share online.
M: You mean on social media
W: Yes.
M: Are the people on your social media accounts really your friends
W: Of course they are.
M: Really Do you know all of your social media friends or followers personally
W: No. But does that really matter It’s fun to interact with others.
M: It’s nice to connect with people, but how can you feel comfortable sharing personal photos with them They
may post rude comments.
W: Sharing photos is a great way to become familiar with others. And most people will leave nice comments.
M: But why are you opening yourself up to that Anyone can view your social media accounts if you make them
public.
W: Sharing is just a part of networking. It has great benefits.
M: Such as
W: Networking opens doors to all kinds of opportunities for work, volunteering and real life friendships.
M: But I think discovering those opportunities is better and safer when you meet someone in person.
W: Well, it’s a lot faster to network through social media.
M: But nowadays people can pretend to be anybody online. I’d still say it’s essential to be wise about what you
share.
