    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: B. Part 4

    Part 1 is an everyday conversation, Part 2 is an everyday monologue, Part 3 is a conversation in an educational or training setting, and Part 4 is an academic talk by one speaker.

  6. Domanda 6 di 17

    The instructions say ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER. You hear "the twenty-third of May". Which answer follows the limit?
    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: C. 23 May

    "23 May" is one word and a number. The other answers add extra words such as "the", "of" or "on", so they break the limit and lose the mark.

    Niente audio? Leggi il testo

    Lecturer: Today I want to explain why cities are often warmer than the countryside around them. This is called the urban heat island effect. The first cause is building materials: dark roads and roofs absorb heat during the day and release it slowly at night. The second cause is the lack of plants, because plants cool the air as water evaporates from their leaves. Interestingly, the difference in temperature is usually greatest at night, not in the middle of the day.
