Directions: In Section B, you will hear two passages and a longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the question will be spoken only once 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 passage.
Can’t resist picking from the fridge or cupboard before dinner? A little cheese, some biscuits and an apple. It never seems like much. Yet, by the time dinner comes around, you are full. If this is you, here are two strategies to help you out. Think about what you are eating earlier in the day. If you are having a light lunch, then trying to last until dinner, you may be doing harm to yourself. By leaving it too long between food stops, you will get too hungry and overeat at dinner. Instead, try having a slice of toast or a piece of fruit and a cup of yogurt at about 3:30 pm. This should keep you going until dinner. So you can resist the pre-dinner snacking. The other strategy is that if you do have a snack before dinner, put it on a plate, instead of picking and paying no attention to what you are eating, arrange some food properly on a small plate, then sit down to eat your snack. Simply by doing this, you will eat a lot less and still be ready for the main event.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
How many trees are there in the world? Until now, scientists could only guess. The estimate of global tree number is approximately 400 billion. In the tree survey project- by using satellite images and on site counting in more than 50 countries, researchers at an American university counted more than 3,000 billion trees in the world, roughly 7 times more than previously estimated. Among all the countries, Russia is ranked first in the tree number.
But researchers also warned the number of trees on earth has fallen by 46 % since the start of civilization. Due to demand for wood and farmland, humans cut down more than 15 billion trees each year, replanting only 5 billion. At that rate, trees on earth will be gone in about three centuries. The project’s goal is to draw attention to the importance of trees in the role in reducing the gravity of climate change. The project’s lead researcher says: Trees store huge amounts of carbon. They are among the most important and critical living things on earth.

When libraries lend books to the public, authors and publishers receive remuneration from the Government under the Lending Rights schemes, but this is not the case when libraries lend e-books. Is this fair?
This year, the government has distributed almost A$22 million under these Public Lending Rights and Educational Lending Rights Schemes. For each book in public library collections, creators receive $2.11 and publishers receive $0.52.
The amount that each claimant receives is often not very significant, with the majority of authors receiving between $100-500 annually. Still, a previous study has revealed that this remuneration constitutes the second most important source of income for creators from their creative work.
E-books, however, are not covered by these Lending Rights schemes. This may not be a big issue at the moment, since only 3.5% of library holdings are e-books and most publishers still release books both in print and e-book formats.(原卷文字有删改)
But e-book lending is increasing and, according to the Australian Library and Information Association, e-books are likely to reach 20% of library holdings by 2020. Also, most, if not all, self-published titles are done so in digital format only. Such self-published titles, if lent by libraries, would not qualify for any remuneration. For this reason, authors and publishers have been lobbying the Government to extend the Lending Rights Schemes to e-books. Although the Book Industry Collaborative Council made such proposal already in a report of 2013, nothing has happened of yet.
One of the main reasons why e-books are not covered is that e-book lending is quite different from print book lending. In case of print books, authors and publishers are arguably losing on customers and revenues when libraries loan their books for free.
Creators only receive $2.11 and publishers receive $0.52 for each book in public library collections.
At present, in the case of e-books, many publishers chose not to sell these books to libraries. Also, publishers assume that libraries will lend e-books to many readers so they often charge libraries three or more times the price that consumers are paying for the same e-books.
While publishers charge libraries high prices for e-books, writers complain that these amounts do not reach them. Publishing contracts often don’t specify whether and how much authors receive for e-books sales or for e-lending.
