SectionB

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

For any music enthusiast who wants to start learning an instrument from the very beginning, the ukulele is a good choice. Basically, the ukulele is a guitar-like instrument with only four strings, originating from the US state of Hawaii. It is extremely beginner-friendly because notes can be played directly with your bare fingertips. It’s easy to perform without hard pressing.

I started learning the ukulele two years ago and practiced for hours every week. I found it helpful to deconstruct complicated music into simple tunes for beginners and then gradually add special sweeping to enrich the sound. In this way, I learned to perform Hedwig’s Theme, a well-known track from Harry Potter, just a few days after picking up the ukulele. Step by step, my sense of achievement grows and motivates me to further polish my skills.

Although the ukulele seems like a simple instrument, it is really hard to learn all of its techniques and become a ukulele master. Although there are a large number of ukulele players in the world, there are only a few professional ukulele performers. For me, the ukulele is a stepping stone to dive deeper into the field of music and continue my musical journey.

Questions:

11.What can we learn about the ukulele from this passage?

12. What is the helpful way that the author has found to learn the ukulele?

13.What is the passage mainly about?

Questions14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

This has certainly been a tough year, but in times like this, it’s good to know that the world’s scientists have been working extra hard. They are storing seeds. Currently, there are over 1,000 seed banks located all over the world.

How does the seed bank work? First, scientists from all over the world collect endangered and useful wild species, put them in a paper or cotton bag to prevent them from getting bad, and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arrive, they’re dried and preserved in a special room. After that, X-rays confirm that the seeds are undamaged and that no insects are hidden inside. The seeds are then frozen, stored in sealed containers and then placed in huge freezers at -20°C for long-term storage. The low temperature allows the seeds to be preserved for decades and re-awakened when required.

One of the most famous seed banks, Svalbard International Seed Bank, opened in February 2008, and now holds more than one million seed samples. It is located deep in a frozen Arctic mountain in Longyearbyen, Norway. The special construction makes sure that it remains undamaged in case of any natural disasters or even bombings.

As Earth is facing huge challenges like climate change, these seed banks are surely significant to safeguard the future of the world’s food supply.

Questions:

14.According to the passage, what will be done once the seeds arrive at the seed bank?

15.What is TRUE about Svalbard International Seed Bank?

16.According to the passage, why are seed banks built?

Questions17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

M:Today we are honoured to have Dr. Nancy with us. Doctor, thanks for coming on our show.

W:It’s my pleasure.

M:Now, can we start with the question “What is creativity?”

W:Well, creativity can be viewed as a process. This process usually starts with a person who’s trying to figure out a better way of doing a task. That person must think about the problem in a new way and come up with a solution.

M:Hmm, I see. Do you think the ability to be creative is inborn or not?

W: Well, no one knows yet if the ability is the result of the environment or a genetic makeup. However, creativity does seem to run in certain families.

M:Is that so?

W:Yes. You see, Johann Bach was the most famous member of the Bach family, but there were 20 other famous musicians who came from the same family.

M:That’s very interesting. Does that mean that creativity only appears in great people?

W:Certainly not. Creativity can also be found in everyday tasks such as cooking or gardening.

M:Oh, really? Now Dr. Nancy, can you describe to us what the actual creative process is?

W:Actually, many great artists describe it as a dream-like state during which ideas just come to them in a flash.

M:What is going on in the brain during that flash?

W:No one knows for sure, but researchers suggest that part of the brain becomes very active, linking up ideas or thoughts in previous unknown ways.

M:I see. Thank you very much, Dr. Nancy.

W:Not at all.

Questions:

17.What do we learn about creativity from the dialogue?
