Section B
Directions: In section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
When I borrowed my friend’s ancient jeep for a trip to the mountain, he assured me of the vehicle’s good condition and I decided to give it a shot. At first, the drive up to the top of the mountain was smooth, and the magnificent landscape along the road took my breath away. But just minutes before I reached my destination, the smoke started to pour out of the engine. I was forced to stop at a small village from which the nearest repair place was miles away. Villagers gathered to look, some even starting to inspect the jeep. An old man patted me on the shoulder,
saying, “There’s a hole in the jacket of the water tank. You just need some green bananas!” Just as I was puzzled about what he said, a boy ran to us with green bananas in his arms. The old man cut one in half and pressed one half against the tank. The banana, to my surprise, melted against the hot metal, covering the hole instantly. After one more application of the green banana, the villagers waved me goodbye and within an hour, the jeep amazingly made it to repair place.
This chance experience with the green banana showed me not only the genius of those villagers but also the potential of the green banana. In fact, as I thought about the experience further, I realized that the green banana had been there for ages, patiently waiting to be appreciated as more than a common fruit. The green banana taught me that if we can see the world in a new light, we may discover many more unexpected green bananas.
Questions:
11. What happened to the ancient jeep on the way?
