Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. 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.
Patricia Pania never wanted to be a public figure. All she wanted to be was a mother and homemaker. But her life was turned upside down when a motorist, lost his concentration due to his cell phone, ran down a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car. The impact killed her 2-year-old daughter. Four months later, Pania decided to try to educate the public and to fight for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving. She wanted to save other children. In her first speech, Pania got off to a difficult start. She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic change took place. She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong voice. For the rest of her talk, she was a forceful speaker. She wanted everyone to know what she knew. The audience were moved to tears and to action. In the following presentations, Pania gained reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times. Her campaign increased public awareness of the problem, and over 300 cities are considering restriction on cell phone use. 11. What led to Pania’s personal tragedy?
12. How did Pania feel when she began her first speech? 13. What could be expected as a result of Pania’s efforts?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
The latest reform in testing is the computerized test. Test questions and answer choices are presented on the screen. Before the actual test begins, there usually is an instruction showing how to use the computer to respond to the questions. Scores are displayed on the screen at the end of the test so that a student can have an immediate feedback.
Some computerized tests are “adaptive”. This means that a test question is selected from a large pool of items based on how the test taker has responded to the previous question. The first question presented is of medium difficulty. If the test taker answers correctly, the next item will be more difficult. If he or she answers incorrectly, the next question will be easier. The computer classifies questions by level of difficulty and other factors before presentation. In this way, the questions are “adapted” to find the true skill level of the test taker.
Among all the conveniences of computerized testing, there are some limits. No longer can you have a quick look at the entire test. Test items are presented one at a time, and you must choose an answer in order to move on to the next question. On adaptive tests, once you have confirmed your answer, you cannot go back to change it.
