Passage 1 (Read questions 15 and 16 before listening to Passage 1)
The Fangyuan Wetlands in Changhua County have become a popular tourist spot for those who want to explore the mangroves of Taiwan. A one-kilometer walkway above the wetlands allows visitors to see the mangrove and wetland animals and plants. The walkway is built two meters above the wetlands, so it doesn’t endanger any of the wildlife, which includes many species of birds. During low tide, visitors can see a variety of crabs as well as mudskippers—a special type of fish that can use its fins to walk on the ground. The Fangyuan Wetlands have proven a popular way for tourists and locals to get outside and enjoy some fresh air after being in lockdown because of the pandemic.

Passage 2 (Read questions 17 and 18 before listening to Passage 2)
Since you’ve set up your theremin as I showed you in the previous video, turn it on. I’ll do the same, and then I’ll check that it’s working by moving my hands toward the antennas. OK, seems good! If you’re not hearing sounds like this from your instrument, pause the video and check the connections for all of your cords. Let’s keep moving. The best way to get familiar with your new
instrument is honestly just to play with it. If you’re watching this video on your phone, don’t let it get too close to the theremin. The electromagnetic waves that the instrument senses in order to make sounds could be disrupted by the phone. So, to show you how to play around productively, let’s review the functions of the two antennas. (Unit 8)
B 17. Who is speaking?
(A) A young person who just got a theremin and is asking for help.
(B) A theremin fan who teaches people how to play on YouTube.
(C) A theremin performer introducing the instrument before a concert.
(D) A person who is training a new coworker to build theremins.
A 18. Why should viewers keep their phones away from their theremins?
(A) The phone causes disruptions that will lead to strange sounds.
(B) The theremin will drain all the power from the phone’s battery.
(C) Viewers could get distracted and hurt themselves on the sharp antennas.
(D) Dropping the phone on the theremin would break the instrument.
Passage 3 (Read questions 19 and 20 before listening to Passage 3)

IDA is assembling a massive open-source database comprised of millions of images. Its goal is to capture photos of various artifacts that are in danger of being destroyed.

W: Hey, Mel, remember how much we wanted to try fencing after watching it in the Olympics?
M: Yeah, of course, but there aren’t any fencing schools nearby.
W: Not to worry. I’ve found a solution online! This guy called Joe has 20 years of coaching experience, and he’s designed an at-home fencing program for people.
M: Interesting! Could you please pass me your tablet? Thanks. OK, the goal of the classes is to help people maintain muscle memory and stay in shape. That should be fine for us.
But how does it actually work?
W: We get on a video call with him for one and a half hours for each class. There are three classes a week.
M: Nice! I see here that we need to prepare a glove, a blade, and fencing shoes.
W: Yeah, and a clear space. I was thinking we could move the sofa and do it in the living room, since that’s the only part of our apartment with a wooden floor.
M: Hey, what if I invited Jewel and her son?
W: Well, it’d be great to have your friend join us, but isn’t her son too young?
M: Oh, right, he won’t be old enough until next year. He’s only nine years old. Ah, well…
So, what does all this cost?
W: The cost for twelve classes is $3,600. For 24 classes, there’s a bit of a discount, though:
the total would be $6,000.

I just got a flyer from a nearby supermarket. It’s promoting vegan milks. They not only have soy milk but also oat and almond milk. These vegan milks all come in containers of 300 milliliters.
I haven’t tried their oat milk yet, so let’s take a closer look at it. It’s $65 per container, so it’s not cheap. This is probably why I haven’t bought it before. The oat milk has 130 calories, which is a bit high. With three grams of protein and six grams of fat, I bet it tastes lovely and rich. However, eight grams of sugar is quite a lot. I wonder if it’s added or natural. As for the almond milk, the price is different from the previous time I bought it. It costs $40 now, which is $15 cheaper than before. It has two grams of protein, three grams of fat, and has about half the calories of the other two milks.
That’s probably because it only has half the fat of the oat milk. The last one, the soy milk, is my favorite! It’s an affordable $30. An amazing 12 grams of protein per serving makes it perfect for people after a workout. Five and a half grams of fat isn’t bad, either. OK, which vegan milk do you think we should get? (Unit 6)
A 25. What’s the main purpose of this talk?
(A) The speaker is comparing different kinds of vegan milks.

(B) Soy milk; $30.
(C) Almond milk; $25.
(D) Almond milk; $30.
A 27. How much fat is in the almond milk?
