Multiple~Choice Questions

On the paper—based test, all of the questions in Parts B and C are multiple choice After each conversation

or talk, you will hear some questions and choose the one best answer of four possible choices, (A), (B),

(C) or (D) Then, on your answer sheet, you will find the number of the question and fill in the space

that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen

You will have twelve seconds to read the four answer choices and answer each question

Part B — Longer Conversations

Part C — Talks

In Part C, you will hear a recording of a talk or lecture like this one:

(Narrator) Listen to part of a talk in a geology class

(Woman) Large caves such as Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico are famous for their many

underground chambers and varied and majestic landscapes Delicate flowerlike and strawlike structures grow from the ceiling, as do massive curtains of stone Among the most interesting and well-known formations are icicle—like stalactites, which hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites, which are found on the cave floor

Groundwater seeping into a cave chamber contains carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere or the soil This carbon dioxide may unite with limestone to form calcium carbonate Stalagmites are produced when water drops directly to the cave floor The impact of the water striking the floor causes it to break into droplets or into a film, releasing the excess carbon dioxide, and the crystals begin to grow upward

Then you will hear a question

(Narrator) What is the talk mainly about?

In your book, you will read:

(A) Groundwater in caves

(B) The formation of Carisbad Caverns

(C) Structures that form in caves

(D) Majestic landscapes

The best answer to the question, What is the talk mainly about? is (C), Structures that form in caves

Therefore, the correct choice is (C)

QUESTION TYPES ON THE COMPUTER TEST

On the computer test, longer conversations and talks are in Part B There is no Part C on the computer test

The conversations, talks, and questions will be presented only once You will both see and hear the ques-

tions before the answer choices appear

There are four types of questions in Part B For each type of question, you will use the mouse to click on

one or more answers or to move text

You can take as much time as you need to answer each question; however, you should work as quickly as

possible because the entire Listening section is timed The amount of time you have left will appear on the

computer screen The time you spend listening to the conversations, talks, and questions is not counted in

the total time

You will be able to change your answer as many times as you like—until you confirm your answer When

you confirm your answer, the computer will give you the next question

You will not be allowed to return to a previous question This is because the answer you give helps the

computer determine the difficulty level of your next question

Part B — Longer Conversations and Talks

Here is an example of a talk and some questions:

underground chambers and varied and majestic landscapes Delicate flowerlike and strawlike structures grow from the ceiling, as do massive curtains of stone Among the most interesting and well-known formations are icicle-like stalactites, which hang

Q

(Professor) Groundwater seeping into a cave chamber contains carbon dioxide absorbed from the

atmosphere or the soil This carbon dioxide may unite with limestone to form calcium carbonate Stalagmites are produced when water drops directly to the cave floor The impact

of the water striking the floor causes it to break into droplets or into a film, releasing the excess carbon dioxide, and the crystals begin to grow upward

Stalagmites usually have rounded tops and are large Some are ten meters tall and up to ten meters in diameter The rate of growth of stalagmites is not constant because it depends on water percolation from the surface

After the talk you will read:
