Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following news.
The police released the first video emergency yesterday of the two men who were believed to be involved in robbing a jewelry shop in the city seven days ago. But the video pictures taken a week ago were not very clear. The camera which filmed the men was about 200 meters away from a parked truck which the robbers later used as a running away vehicle. The men were also filmed wearing helmets as they ran towards the truck after the robbery. The pictures are timed at 9:05 a.m. last Saturday, just half an hour before the robbery occurred. Witnesses have confirmed that some time during this half an hour, they saw the two men without helmets leave the truck separately. Despite the quality of the video, the police believe the robbers are not difficult to recognize. The first suspect who got at the drive side of the truck was about 5 feet and 6 inches tall and fat. He was wearing a grey jacket and dark trousers. The passenger was thinner and slightly taller, about5 feet and 8 inches. He was wearing light blue jeans and white jacket. According to the police, the truck stored in the parking lot of the city mall last month has been repainted from white to silver, with a false registration plate.

11. What did the two men rob?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Scientists have long been interested in why birds fly in a shape which looks like the letter V. Using modern technology, they observed and came to the conclusion that birds fly that way to save energy.
British scientists attached small GPS navigation devices to the back of a bird called Bald Ibises to track wing movements. The recordings showed that the birds were able to use the upward airstream created by the wing tips of the bird just in front of it.
Scientists had predicted that birds could take advantage of this by flying in a V-shape, but actually no one understood how the upward air could be captured. With the help of the micro light aircraft, the British scientists followed the birds on their migration to Italy.
The GPS devices were so precise that they’re corded in real time the position and speed of each bird within the group of the birds. Scientists say they were impressed at how each bird was able to respond to the movement of the one just in front.
In the following research, scientists plan to study how the birds decide who should be responsible for the group on their annual migrations across Europe.
(Listen again, please) Questions:
14. What’s the reason of birds flying in V-shape? 15. What do the scientists plan to study next? 16. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 17through 20 are based on the following conversation. M:Hello, Professor Jones.
W:Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?
M:Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn’t coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me—one I take part in. W:What sport did you choose?
M:I decided to write about cross-country skiing. W:What are you going to say about skiing?
M:That’s the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country. W:So why is that a problem?
M:As Is tart describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn’t as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy. But that’s not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds rolling by. That’s different.
