How can I help you today? W: Morning. I wouldn’t say that it’s good from where I am standing. This is Miss Wilson, and this is the third time I’ve called this week since receiving your letter about our insurance claim. (1) I’m getting a little fed up with my calls about my claim being completely disregarded. M: Miss Wilson, thank you for calling back. Can I take some details to help me look at your claim? W: It’s Miss May Wilson, a 15 south sea road in Cornwall.And the details are that our village was extensively flooded 2 months ago. (2) The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water. And five of us have been living in a caravan ever since. You people are still withholding the money we are entitled to over a bizarre, technical detail. And it’s not acceptable, Paul. M: Miss Wilson, according to the notes on your account, (3) the bizarre, technical detail that you mentioned refers to the fact that you hadn’t paid house insurance the month before the incident.

W: That money left our account and wow that you should be paying out. You are suddenly saying that you didn’t receive it on time. I’m really skeptical about this claim. M: The contract does say that any miss payment in a year will affect the terms and conditions of the insurance contract and may affect claims. Of course, I can pass you on to my manager to talk to you more about this. W: I’ve already spoken to him and you can tell him I’m furious now. And that your company has a lawsuit on its hands.(4) You will be hearing from my lawyer, good bye. Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. Question 1: What is the woman complaining about? 1. B) Her claim has been completely disregarded. Question 2: What is the problem the woman’s family encountered? 2. B) The ground floor of their cottage was flooded. Question 3: What has caused the so called bizarre, technical detail according to the man? 3.

Conversation 2

W: (5) How do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence? Personally, I feel quite optimistic about it. M: (5) AI? I’m not so optimistic actually. In fact it's, something we should be concerned about. W: Well, it will help us humans understand ourselves better and when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we can improve the world. M: Well, one thing is for sure, technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it, and in the future AI will make jobs kind of pointless. W: (6) I think artificial intelligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs, which would require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks. M: I doubt that very much. Probably the last job that will be writing AI software and then eventually AI will just write his own software. W: At that time, we are going to have a lot of jobs which nobody will want to do. So we won’t need artificial intelligence for the robots to take care of the old guys like us. M: I don't know. (7) There's a risk that human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life. AI will be able to completely simulate a person in every way possible. In fact, some people think we're in a simulation right now. W: That's impossible. Humans can't even make a mosquito. Computers only have chips, people have brains, and that's where the wisdom comes from. M: (8) Once it's fully developed, AI will become tired of trying to communicate with

humans as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison. W: I'm not so sure. A computer is a computer and a computer is just a toy. M: Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast, so the computer will just get impatient talking to humans. It'll be barely getting any information out. W: Well, I believe there's a benevolent future with AI. I also think you watch too many science fiction films. Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

A) It will be smarter than human beings. Passage One To achieve financial security. How much you save is always more important. Then the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest.(9) If you're under 30 years old, your goal should be to save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions. This is irrespective of how much you earn. Approximately 50% should be reserved for

essentials, like food and accommodation. The remaining 30% is for recreation and entertainment. But for many young people, it'll be difficult to designate such a large proportion of their income for savings. (10) If you find it hard to save any money at all start by cutting all unnecessary spending, allocate a tiny amount of 1 or 2% for savings, and gradually increase that amount. (11)Always keep that 20% goal in mind, prevent yourself from becoming complacent. It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan. But if you adopt the right mindset, you should be able to make it work for you. So what should you be doing with the money that you are saving? Some must be kept easily accessible. In case you need some cash in an emergency, the largest proportion should be invested in retirement plans, either for your employer, all privately, you can keep some money for high risk, but potentially lucrative investments. Dividends can be reinvested or used to purchase something you like. By following this plan, you should hopefully be able to enjoy your life now, and still be financially secure in the future. Questions, 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard. Q 9. What are people under 30 advised to do to achieve financial security? 9. C) Save one-fifth of their net monthly income. Q10. What should people do if they find it difficult to follow the speaker's advice on their financial plan? 10. D) Start by doing something small. Q 11. What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security?

11. A) A proper mindset. Passage Two I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends, mainly because I'm aware that we live in an image obsessed world. (12)However, when I first started my job, occasionally I’d catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts and find myself thinking that I looked a total mess. Was I being held back by my choice of clothing? The short answer is “Yes”, especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work.(13) But no one can be unique with her outfit every day. I mean that's why uniforms were invented. So here's what I did. I created my own uniform. To do this, I chose an appropriate outfit. Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades. Now, I never worry about what I'm wearing in the morning. Even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces. (14)Overall, when it comes to work, you have to ask yourself with looking smarter can enhance my ability to do my job. For some, this question may not be an issue at all, especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face. But if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often “yes”. (15) So rather than fighting the system, I think we should just do whatever helps us to

achieve our goals at work. If that means playing it safe with your image, then let's face it. It's probably worth it. Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard. Q 12. What do we learn about the speaker when she first started her job? 12. A) She found her outfit inappropriate. Q 13. Why were uniforms invented according to the speaker? 13. D) To save the trouble of choosing a unique outfit every day. Q 14. What does the speakers say about looking smarter? 14. B) It matters a lot in jobs involving interactions with others. Q 15. What does the speaker advise people to do in an image obsessed world? 15. C) Do whatever is possible to look smart. Recording One Did you know that Americans have approximately 3 times the amount of space we had 50 years ago? Therefore, you'd think would have sufficient room for all of our possessions. On the contrary, the personal storage business is now a growing industry. We've got triple the space, but we've become such enthusiastic consumers that we require even more. (16) This phenomenon has resulted in significant credit card debt, enormous environmental footprints, and perhaps not coincidentally our happiness levels have failed to increase over the same half century.

I'm here to suggest an alternative. They’re having less might actually be a preferable decision. Many of us have experienced at some stage, the pleasure of possessing less. (17) I propose that less stuff and less space can not only help you economize, but also simplify your life. I recently started an innovative project to discover some creative solutions that offered me everything I required. By purchasing an apartment. There was 40 square meters instead of 60. I immediately saved $200,000. Smaller space leads to reduced utility bills and also a smaller carbon footprint, because it's designed around an edited collection of possessions, limited to my favorite stuff. I'm really excited to live there. How can we live more basically? Firstly, we must briefly cut the unnecessary objects out of our lives to stem consumption. We should think before we buy and ask ourselves: Will it truly make me happier? Obviously, we should possess some great stuff but we want belongings that we’re going to love for years. Secondly, we require space efficiency. We want appliances that are designed for use most of the time, not for occasional use. Why own a six burner when you really use even three burners? Finally, we need multifunctional spaces and housewares. I combined a movable wall with transforming furniture to get more out of my limited space. Consider my coffee table. It increases in size to accommodate ten. My office is tucked away, easily hidden. My bed simply pops out of the wall. For gas, I can relocate the movable wall and utilize the foldable guest beds I installed. I’m not saying we should all live in tiny apartments, but consider the benefits of an edited life.
