The passages 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 would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.This is the hourly news at 10 P.M. An angry viewer is accusing Japans national broadcaster for mental suffering caused by too much use of words borrowed from English.According to Mr. Takahashi, the basis of his concern is that Japan is being too Americanised. English became popular in Japan after World War II when almost all US companies in Japan hired English speakers.The situation was followed by a growing interest in American pop culture.The countrys modern vocabulary is full of borrowed words, many of which are changed in pronunciation to fit the Japanese speaking habits.Mr. Takahashi, accused NHK of irresponsibility by refusing to use certain native Japanese words instead of certain English words in the program.He believed that with Japanese society increasingly Americanized, NHK, as Japans national broadcaster, shouldnt go with the trend, but should remain determined to stick with the use of Japanese, which he thinks would go a long way toward protecting Japanese culture.However many people think Mr. Takahashis concern is unreasonable as use of English doesnt mean the loss of domestic culture but on the other hand helps Japan to get informed of the advanced technology and international affairs, which will eventually give Japan more advantages in the world community.11. Why did English become popular in Japan after World War II?12. What did Mr. Takahashi charge NHK with?13. What is the opinion of some other people?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Listeners, have you ever camped on the roof of a high building, dressed up like a beggar or put on masks to fight against Batman. Sounds interesting, doesnt it? Today we are introducing to you Jimmy Wang and Jason Liu who are best friends. Their company is offering to you these fun activities.The pair were both bored with their work after graduation from University in 2008 and decided to do something exciting. And there werent many fun activities for adults then so they set up a company that offers young people a platform to socialize and have fun. They are organizing activities and getting sponsored to make money. But ideas are always a step away from success. Although the pair had many interesting ideas no clients picked up on them. In the first two years, the company didnt win any sponsors and lost money on nearly every event.Fortunately they never gave up. Instead, they found out that the problem lied in lack of publicity for their company. So they advertised on famous social websites and handed out advertisement sheets on the streets. The measures did work out.An idea for a fun Halloween party finally paid off. They got a call from Coca-Cola, that agreed to sponsor the event, and for the first time they made money.From then on more and more companies started asking them to organize activities and money poured in. Last week, the pair bought a BMW car and they think its now time to expand the business. Good luck to them!14. How does the pairs company earn money?15. Why did they fail at beginning?16. What will the company probably do next?Section CDirections: In section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice.
