When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.


Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following talk.
   When you order a pizza online, it goes through quite a journey before arriving at your door, from kitchen oven to warming counter to the backseat of a car. That is why it can be only slightly warm by the time you take your first bite. A pizza house in new York has fixed that. Its secret weapons are robots. After a customer places an order online, the request comes into its central kitchen at its headquarters. There, robots and a few humans staff start preparing the pizza. Each robot has a name and a duty, like spraying the source, or putting the pizzas into the oven. Each pizza is baked first for 90 seconds in an 800 degree oven. Then, the half baked pizza is loaded into one of the mobile ovens in the truck. Another robot takes over the task of loading and reloading the pizza into the truck’s oven. When the truck is four minutes away from its destination, the oven containing the order will turn on to finish cooking the pizza. Thanks to the assistance of robots, delivery orders take an average of 20 minutes, 10 minutes less than before. The pizzas are hot when they reach you.
Questions:
11. What problem has the pizza house in New York solved?
12. On average how long did it take the pizza house to deliver an order in the past? 
13. What can we learn about the pizza house?


Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following talk.


The next time you end up on the slowest moving queue at the supermarket, don’t blame your bad luck anymore. 
According to queuing theorists, mathematicians who predict queue lengths and waiting times, you are not alone in such an unpleasant situation. Queuing theory explains why there’s probably no way you can always be in the fastest line. The explanation goes something like this. A supermarket tries to have enough checkout counters open to get all their customers through with minimum delay. Despite the well-trained workforce and ever upgrading security systems, there are always going to be busy periods. Because supermarkets don’t have the physical space to add more checkout lines during these busier times, their system becomes overloaded. One small interruption, such as a price check or a chatty customer, results in a chain of reactions to affect the entire line behind them. If there are three lines at a store, these delays will happen randomly at different checkout counters. The chances of your line being the quickest are only one in three, so you are not just imagining it. Another line probably is moving faster than yours. 




Questions:
14.According to the passage, why are there long queues in supermarkets during busy hours?
15.What does queuing theory try to tell us?
16.What is the passage mainly about?


Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Jake, I want to talk to you about our little brother, George. 
M: What's the matter with him? 
W: I’m worried about him. We must do something. He's been in low spirits for weeks. 
M: Come on, Maggie. You know George. He's changeable like the weather. He could be laughing next week. 
W: Jake, he's our brother. And we are supposed to be there for him, aren't we? 
M: Yes, but you know how independent he is. We can't help him if he doesn't want it, can we?
W: Well, I feel guilty. He is family after all. We mustn't ignore problems in the family or they will just get bigger. 
M: Do you want me to encourage him to consult a psychologist?
W: No, you don't have to do that. But he should talk about things with people that he knows. 
M: Yes, he should. He keeps all things inside. 
W: Exactly! Just talking will help him so much. 
M: He's very unhappy about not getting the promotion he was promised. 
W: Of course. We should get George to know every cloud has a silver lining. 
M: You think?
W: Well, he can't get any better chance in his terrible apartment, can he? Watching baseball 24 hours a day? 
M: Basketball. 
W: Please, Jake. I hate to see George like that. Do something next week. You must get him out of that apartment. Get him doing something new. 
M: I'll do it. I hope you'll help me like if the same thing happens to me. 
W:You bet! We are family.
