Part 3: For questions 66–75, read the following passage about the inventor of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg
and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D) according to the text. Write your answers (A, B, C, or D) in the
corresponding numbered boxes.
Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984, in New York, into a prosperous, professional family. He developed an
interest in computers at an early age and when he was twelve, created a messaging program which he named
"Zucknet". His dentist father used it in his surgery so that his receptionist could inform him of the arrival of a
patient without yelling across the room. Together with his friends, Mark spent much of his spare time as a boy
designing and making computer games just for fun.

Page 4 of 8 pages
 In 2002, Mark enrolled at Harvard University. By his second year at the institution, he had acquired a
reputation on the campus as a developer of software. It was at that time he invented "Facemash" which
compared pictures of female students and allowed users to vote on which one was the most attractive. The
program became very popular on campus, but was later shut down by the university authorities who deemed
it 'inappropriate'.
Based on the buzz of "Facemash", three of Mark's fellow students, Divya Narendra, and twins, Cameron
and Tyler Winklevoss, asked him to work with them on an idea for a social networking site called "Harvard
Connection". This site was designed to use information from Harvard's student networks to create a dating site
for the university's elite. Mark was initially enthusiastic about the complex project but boredom soon set in and
he backed out of it to work on his own social networking site. He created a site that allowed users to produce
their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other people beyond the confines of the university.
He called the site "Facebook" and he operated from one small college room until June 2004 when he finally
abandoned his studies to devote himself fully to Facebook and moved the company to California.
By the end of 2004, Facebook had one million users and Mark was climbing high. However, in 2006, the
multi-millionaire business mogul faced his first big hurdle. The creators of Harvard Connection claimed that he
had used their idea, and insisted that he should compensate them for their business losses. Mark maintained
that the ideas were based on two very different types of social networks but, after lawyers searched his records,
incriminating emails revealed that he may have intentionally stolen the intellectual property of his former
partners. Although an initial settlement of $65 million was reached between the two parties, the legal dispute
over the matter continued well into 2011, after the Harvard Connection creators claimed they were misled with
regards to the value of the Facebook stock.
Since amassing his sizeable fortune, Mark has used his millions to fund a variety of philanthropic causes.
He has put lots of money into the deteriorating schools system in deprived parts on New York and he actively
encourages other wealthy, young entrepreneurs to follow his example and put back something into society.
66. As a child, Mark Zuckerberg ______.
A. created a software package for dentists B. developed a communications program
C. sold computer programs to his friends D. was mainly interested in playing computer games
67. According to the passage, during his time at university, Mark ______.

B. could only be accessed by Harvard students
C. became Mark's full-time job after completing university

Part 4: For questions 76-80, read the text and fill the gaps with the correct sentences A-G. There are
two extra sentences you will not need. Write the letter of the missing sentence in the corresponding
numbered boxes.
Listening to music relies on memory. We make sense of what we hear by framing it in the context of what
we have already heard. We don’t have a ‘memory box’ into which we dump an entire tune. (76)______. We
group the ‘pixels’ of music into lumps with recognisable outlines, a process called chunking. To do this we use
subconscious rules that help us decide if the notes belong together. Unifying features such as small melodic
interval steps and shared tonality provide the glue that binds them.
(77)______. If we had to encode it in our brains note by note, we’d struggle to make sense of anything
more complex than the simplest children’s songs. Of course, most accomplished musicians can play
compositions containing many thousands of notes entirely from memory, without a note out of place. If you
ask a pianist to start a piece of music from a certain point in the middle of a phrase, she’ll probably have to
mentally replay the music from the start of a phrase until reaching that point – the music is not simply laid out
in her mind, to be picked up from an arbitrary point. (78)______. It’s rather like describing how you drive to
work; you don’t reel off the names of roads as an abstract list but have to construct your route by mentally re-
tracing it.
The contour of a melody – how it rises and falls in pitch – is one of the most important clues for memory
and recognition. (79)______. And most of the spontaneous, charmingly wayward songs that children begin to
sing from around 18 months contain brief phrases with an identical repeated contour.
Musically untrained adults asked to sing back an unfamiliar melody might not get a single note right, yet
will capture the basic contour. (80)_______. This is essentially what young children do when they learn to sing
a song: they make rather arbitrary guesses at the right pitch steps and produce a generally compressed version
which is recognisable.
Predictability can be pleasurable rather than boring. We will belt out the chorus of a favourite song with
gusto. And when a tune reappears unexpectedly, it is like bumping into an old friend. Once the recognition
dawns, we know what is going to come next and that can be delightful.
A. Even babies as young as five months will respond with an altered heartbeat when a melody changes
its contour
B. The greater the complexity of a piece of music, the more its notes vary
C. This chunking is vital for cognition of music
D. And familiar tunes remain recognisable when the contour is ‘compressed’
E. Rather, we remember structures and patterns, with varying degrees of accuracy and which fade from
memory at various rates
F. This seemingly awesome feat of recall is made possible by remembering the musical process, not the
individual notes as such
G. This means less memory is required to recognise more simple melodies

 MY DIET
A. Jane
I started my diet as a new year’s resolution. I know it’s a bit of a cliché, but I really did want to turn over a new
leaf and have a new lifestyle. This was my first diet, at least it is if you exclude a crazy one based on eating
pineapples which I tried in my early twenties. But when celebrities like Rene Zellweger and Geri Halliwell swear
by it, and every other magazine has an article on it, when I realised it was time for a diet, I realised also it was
time for an Atkins diet. The great thing about Atkins is that everything you eat is what you want to eat, and
therefore everything tastes good; the downside is that most of their suggested menus are on the expensive
side, since they include foods like lobster. I’ve been on the diet for 3 months now, and I’ve lost 5 pounds, which
is frankly disappointing, but at least I’m still going.

B. Emily
I’m getting married next month, and so three months ago I decided I would try to look a bit sleeker for my big
day. In order to give me an extra bit of incentive, I ordered my wedding dress two sizes too small, which left
me with 8cm to lose around my waist. But I think the extra pressure will give me a shove in the right direction,
even if my doctor warned me that it might backfire.
I chose to use the Weightwatchers diet, which involves counting the number of points in different types of food,
where the points are linked to their calories. I’ve also managed to be more active – nothing particularly
demanding, but I’m walking instead of catching the bus for short distances, and this way I’m able to increase
my point allowance. It is a hassle, having to count the point value for everything I eat, but perhaps this allows
me to work out whether I really want to eat the particular foodstuff, or whether I’m merely satisfying a sudden
craving which will pass in a minute or two. Anyway, whatever the reason, my waist is 2cm smaller than it was,
which is better than nothing, although I don’t think I’m going to hit my target.

C. Greg
I chose to become one of the three million vegetarians in Britain mostly because of health concerns about
eating meat, although I am also concerned about the moral issues. My diet includes only cereal products, nuts,
seeds, eggs, dairy products and fruit and vegetables. Avoiding some animal products can be tricky, although
not of course as difficult as for vegans. Rennet, for example, which is extracted from the stomach lining of
cows, is often used in cheese making. Although my motivation was not to lose weight, over the 10 months
after my conversion to vegetarianism I’ve actually lost 7 or 8 pounds. Since I haven’t started taking any
exercise, I guess it’s probably because my fat intake has dropped, since the soya products which constitute
the core of my diet have much less than the beef, pork and lamb dishes I used to eat. On top of all this, I’m
feeling really good, and so I wholeheartedly urge other people to take the vegetarian plunge!

D. Rob
I’m a serial dieter. I’ve been overweight for years, and since I’ve now passed 50 and 18 stone, I’ve become
seriously worried about my future. I decided to start the Cambridge Diet, despite it being so controversial, since
I felt reassured that the modern version of the diet is not as risky as the original version of the 1970s and 80s.
My diet substitutes shakes in place of breakfast and lunch, and thereby aims to keep the calories under a short
rein. My target is 1,000 calories a day, which given my weight undoubtedly constitutes a crash diet. I take
supplements of minerals, vitamins and fatty acids to reduce the loss of nutrients due to the severe calorie
restriction, but these hardly fill me up. I’ve been on the diet for just a month now, and it has taken me a while
to get used to it, and I know I haven’t always kept within my calorie count. That’s why I wasn’t too surprised
when I discovered at my last weighing that my weight was exactly the same as when I started. But I know by
now that these things take time, and I’ll keep going. I feel I have to.

E. Lily
I’ve never really thought much about my food, and have always had a penchant for junk food and chocolate.
Over the years the pounds have slowly accumulated, but things came to a head only recently, after I moved
from a flat to a house, and discovered I was getting short of breath whenever I climbed the stairs. I thought
there might be something wrong with me medically, but my doctor told me it was straightforward obesity. Thus
I started my diet on doctor’s orders. I started reading up on healthy eating, and realised my normal diet was
too high in fats and sugars, and so resolved to change it. But this I found was harder than I thought it would
be, and for several weeks I really tried hard but found that I was actually getting very stressed and putting on
more weight. I didn’t want to concede defeat, but my doctor and friends said they thought I should take time
off it for a while to relax and recharge my batteries, and maybe have another go in the future.
