PRACTICE TESTSECTION 1: LISTENING TESTPart A: Spot DictationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passages with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE. Write your answer in the corresponding space that follows the passage on your TEST BOOK.In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical (1) Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen (2) generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour (3) or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way (4) to the coast. There they cause millions of (5) dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast (6) start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds-even Thousandsof miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly (7) over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds (8). When conditions are just right, warm, moist air (9) flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward(10) through it and comes out at the top (11). In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds (12). As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise (13) motion.The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days (14), but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricanes rainfall in a single day (15) would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months (16). Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch (17) downpour resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all (18) is the powerful movement of the seathe mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center (19). The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal (20) as it moves toward shore.1. _2. _3. _4. _5. _6. _7. _8. _9. _10. _11. _12. _13. _14. _15. _16. _17. _18. _19. _20. _Part B: Listening Comprehension1.
