What is the aim of Theresa May’ s plan? [br]
In this section, you will hear five short news items.
Each item will be read only once.
After each item, there will be a fifteen-second pause.
During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer.
Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
16.The British Parliament has rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s plan for Britain to leave the European Union. The House of Commons voted 432 to 202 against the plan negotiated by members of May’s government. The prime minister said she is trying to carry out the “democratic decision” voters made 18 months ago to leave the EU. The vote against May’s plan was widely expected, but it is not clear what comes next for the withdrawal, known as Brexit. Before the vote, May warned members of Parliament that the EU would not offer an “alternative deal.”
17.It is often difficult for farmers to identify diseases quickly enough to protect their crops and those on neighboring farms. Now, some farmers are using a simple device directly in the field to find viruses before they spread. In Tanzania, several viruses are a threat to cassava crops. Farmers struggle to identify the diseases in an urgent effort to avoid severe crop damage. The disease identification process is often difficult when farmers are acting on their own. If they do not know what is attacking their crops, they cannot decide the best way to fight the disease.
18.Scientists have long known that pain’s intensity is difficult to measure because people experience pain differently. In the case of 17-year-old Sarah Taylor, doctors struggled to understand her levels of pain from childhood. “It’s really hard when people can’t see how much pain you’re in, because they have to take your word on it and sometimes, they don’t quite believe you,” she said. Some scientists working with Taylor are now trying to develop an objective way to measure pain.
19.The New York City train system has a new unofficial stop— for people who love grammar...or even just have questions about it. English language expert Ellen Jovin has put together an unusual “classroom.” There is a foldable table, books, a smile and a deep knowledge of grammar. She calls it Grammar Table. Jovin sits at the table in the subway and on city streets. She smiles and waits for people to come by with grammar questions.
20.After falling for three years, carbon emissions in the United States rose in 2018. That information is based on early estimates from an independent research group. The Rhodium Group studies U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide, a gas linked to rising temperatures in Earth’s atmosphere. Its new report estimates that the country’s carbon emissions increased 3.4 percent last year. This would be the largest yearly increase since 2010.
