the World Wildlife Fund and funding from the European Union. Roughly 2,224 acres
of the picturesque Danube Delta – home to 300 species of birds – have filled with
wildlife. The land has been connected to the network of lakes and streams in the
area. 'A lot of birds have migrated to the area and one doesn't need to travel long
hours anymore or go to other lakes to watch the birds, ' says Ion Meuta, Deputy
Mayor of Mahmudia. The area around Mahmudia, which is a UNESCO World Heritage
site, is the third-most biodiverse in the world, after Australia's Great Barrier Reef and

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each
conversation, you will hear some questions. Both the conversation and the questions
will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best
answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding
letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.
Conversation One
M：How do you like your new flexible work in arrangement? Do you enjoy working
from home?
W：Yes and no, I find an isolation challenging at times, apart from my mother, not
too many people I know, have time for phone chat during working hour. I tried the
library but found I wasn’t really keen on working there.
M：No, neither would I. I find the library a bit too quiet. I’d lack inspiration or
stimulation, which would be counter-productive to getting a lot of work done.
W：I found the same thing. So, lately, I’ve been going out to Cafes occasionally, I
love the noise, the people, the busyness of a Café, the sense of being out in the
world.
M: Coffee shops seem to have affectively become off spaces for so many people in
this digital age. Though I’m not sure how Café owners feel about it - having so
many people who go to that places to work rather than drink and eat.
W：Yes, some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much. The
most annoying one for Café owners must truly be those, usually only two of them,
who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.
M：They should sit at a table for two, not the table for six. Some obviously stay so
long, they need to plug the laptops into a power adapter. I nearly tripped over
someone’s computer electrical lead the other day in my local café.
W：It’s a double-edged sword, no doubt about that, for a Café owner. While
remote workers help to keep the café full in quiet times, they can take up valuable
table space and busy period.
Questions 10 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question8. What does the woman say is the disadvantage of working from home?
Question9. What does the man say is counter- productive to getting work done in the
library?
Question10. What does the woman like about doing one’s work in a café?
Question11. What is most annoying for café owners according to the woman?
Conversation Two
W: I’m going to start working for another job. I can’t see myself getting an
opportunity to progress on my company anytime in the near future. And I really think
my skills and abilities deserve a higher salary.
M: You are not going to quit, are you?
W: I’m thinking I might as well. Then I can devote more time and energy to find me
a better position at another company.
M: But you’ve been in your present company less than two years, haven’t you?
This would be the third time you’ve left your job in the last five years. If you do
several jobs in a relatively short span of time, perspective employers might see that
you lack loyalty. That could make them worry and reluctant to employ you.
W: Unfortunately, loyalty doesn’t pay. Even if I get a promotion at my company, it’
s likely to be less sizeable than if I were to get a job elsewhere. And even if I get a
promotion, I’m not guaranteed to get a raise. I had that experience at another
company I worked up.
M: They want you to take on more work and responsibility but for the same amount
of money?
W: More or less, yes. The way I see it, through having different jobs, I’ve got a lot of
experience, and different jobs and in different industries.
M: But potential employers might worry about that experience is not deep, or
thorough enough.
W: Perhaps, but I feel pretty confident that I can sell myself. You know what they say,
fortune favors the brave.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question12: What makes the woman think about changing her job?
Question13: What does the man say about people who keep changing their jobs?
Question14: What does the woman say would happen even if she got promoted in
her current company?
Question15: What benefit has the woman gain from changing her jobs frequently?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage,
you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken
only once. After you hear a ques- tion, you must choose the best answer from the
four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer
Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
There is a saying that goes something along the lines of ‘You must love yourself
first before you can love someone else.’ Similarly, I personally believe that you must
be comfortable and happy in your own company before you can truly be yourself in
the company of others. There is a massive difference between being lonely and being
alone. Loneliness is a horrible feeling. However, you don’t have to actually be alone
to feel that way. Many times, I’ve felt lonely when surrounded by a big group of
people. In contrast, being alone can actually be a blessing, particularly, when you’ve
actively chosen it. In my experience, being bored and alone is dangerous and can
easily lead to the feeling of loneliness. The trick is to be active. Get outside, stretch
