Listen
to
three
short
passages.

questions. All
the
recordings
will
be
played
once
only.
After
you

question,

best
answer

the
four
choices
marked A), B), C) and D).
Passage One
Questions
12
to
14
are
based
on
the
passage
you
have
just
heard.
Script:
After entering World War II in
December
1941, the United States enacted legislation
to help direct the civilian economy to
military
production. At that time,
military contracts were
typically
awarded to manufacturers who submitted the
lowest competitive bid. Upon delivery,
products were
inspected to ensure
conformance to requirements.
During
this
period,
quality
became
a
means
to safety. Unsafe
military equipment was clearly
unacceptable,
and
the
armed
forces
inspected
virtually
every unit of product to ensure that it
was safe for
operation. This practice
required huge inspection
forces
and
caused
problems
in
recruiting
and
retaining
competent
inspection personnel.
To
ease the problems without compromising
product safety, the armed forces began
to utilize
sampling
inspection
to
replace
unit-by-unit
inspection.
With
the
aid
of
industry
consultants,
particularly
the
Bell Laboratories, they adapted
sampling tables and
published
them
in
a
military
standard:
Mil-Std-105.
The
tables were incorporated into the
military contracts
themselves.
In
addition
to
creating
military
standards,
the armed forces
helped their suppliers improve their
quality by sponsoring training courses
in Shewhart's
statistical quality
control (SQC) techniques. While
the
training led to quality improvements in some
organizations,
most
companies
had
little
motivation
to
truly integrate the
techniques. As long as government
contracts paid the bills,
organizations' top priority
remained
meeting production deadlines. Most SQC
programs
were
terminated
once
the
government
contracts
came to an end.

The

decided
to
abandon
their

B) The government decided to direct
the civilian
economy to mass
production.
C) The government
decided to direct the civilian
economy
to military production.
D) The
government passed a lot of laws to protect
their civilians.
