Several large banks off Newfoundland are together called the Grand Banks, huge shoals on the edge of the North American continental shelf, where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream meet the cold waters of the Labrador Current. As the currents brush cach other, they stir up minerals from the ocean floor, providing nutrients for plankton and tiny shrimp-like creatures called krill, which feed on the plankton, Herring and other small fish rise to the surface to eat the krill, Groundfish, such as the Atlantic cod, live in the ocean’s bottom layer, congregating in the shallow waters where they prey on krill and small fish. ‘This rich environment has produced cod by the millions and once had a greater density of cod than anywhere else on Earth, Beginning in the eleventh century, boats from the ports of northwestern Europe arrived to fish the Grand Banks. For the next eight centuries, the entire Newfoundland economy was based on Europeans arriving, catching fish for a few months in the summer, and then taking fish back to European markets. Cod laid out to dry on wooden “flakes” was a common sight in the fishing villages dotting the coast. Settlers in the region used to think the only sea creature worth talking about was cod, and in the local speech the word “fish” became synonymous with cod, Newfoundland’s national dish was a pudding whose main ingredient was cod. By the nineteenth century, the Newfoundland fishery was largely controlled by merchants based in the capital at St. John’s. They marketed the catch supplied by the fishers working out of more than 600 villages around the long coastline. In return, the merchants provided fishing equipment, clothing, and all the food that could not be grown in the island’s thin, rocky soil. This system kept the fishers in a continuous state of debt and dependence on the merchants. Until the twentieth century, fishers believed in the cod’s ability to replenish itself and thought that overfishing was impossible. However, Newfoundland’s cod fishery began to show signs of trouble during the 1930s, when cod failed to support the fishers and thousands were unemployed. ‘The slump lasted for the next few decades. Then, when an international agreement in 1977 established the 200- mile offshore fishing limit, the Canadian government decided to build up the modem Grand Banks fleet and make fishing a viable economic base for Newfoundland again, All of Newfoundland’s seafood companies were merged into one conglomerate. By the 1980s, the conglomerate was prospering, and cod were commanding excellent prices in the market. Consequently, there was a significant increase in the number of fishers and fish-processing plant workers. However, while the offshore fishery was prospering, the inshore fishermen found their catches dropping off. In 1992 the Canadian govemment responded by closing the Grand Banks to groundfishing. Newfoundland’s cod fishing and processing industries were shut down in a bid to let the vanishing stocks recover. The moratorium was extended in 1994, when all of the Atlantic cod fisheries in Canada were closed, except for one in Nova Scotia, and striet quotas were placed on other species of groundfish. Canada’s cod fishing industry collapsed, and around 40,000 fishers and other industry workers were put out of work. Atlantic cod stocks had once been so plentiful that early explorers joked about walking on the backs of the teeming fish. Today, cod stocks are at historically low levels and show no signs of imminent recovery, even after drastic conservation measures and severely limited fishing. Fishermen often blame the diminishing stocks on seals, which prey on cod and other species, but scientists believe that decades of overfishing are to blame. Studies on fish populations have shown that cod disappeared from Newfoundland at the same time that stocks started rebuilding in Norway, raising the possibility that the cod had migrated. Still, no one can predict whether and when the cod will return to the Grand Banks. M6n TIENG ANH 36 Ma dé 915Question 29: What physical process occurs in the region of the Grand Banks? A.

THE ATLANTIC COD FISHERY Off the northeastern shore of North America, from the island of Newfoundland in Canada south, to New England in the United States, there is a series of shallow areas called banks. Several large banks off Newfoundland are together called the Grand Banks, huge shoals on the edge of the North ‘American continental shelf, where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream meet the cold waters of the Labrador Current. As the currents brush each other, they stir up minerals from the ocean floor, providing nutrients for plankton and tiny shrimp-like creatures called krill, which feed on the plankton. Herring and other small fish rise to the surface to eat the krill. Groundfish, such as the Atlantic cod, live in the ocean’s bottom layer, congregating in the shallow waters where they prey on krill and small fish. This rich environment has produced cod by the millions and once had a greater density of cod than anywhere else on Earth. Beginning in the eleventh century, boats from the ports of northwestem Europe arrived to fish the Grand Banks. For the next eight centuries, the entire Newfoundland economy was based on Europeans arriving, catching fish for a few months in the summer, and then taking fish back to Mén TIENG ANH 26 Ma dé 927European markets. Cod laid out to dry on wooden “flakes” was a common sight in the fishing villages dotting the coast. Settlers in the region used to think the only sea creature worth talking about was cod, and in the local speech the word “fish” became synonymous with cod. Newfoundland’s national dish was a pudding whose main ingredient was cod. By the nineteenth century, the Newfoundland fishery was largely controlled by merchants based in the capital at St, John's. They marketed the catch supplied by the fishers working out of more than 600 villages around the long coastline. In return, the merchants provided fishing equipment, clothing, and all the food that could not be grown in the island’s thin, rocky soil. This system kept the fishers in a continuous state of debt and dependence on the merchants. Until the twentieth century, fishers believed in the cod’s ability to replenish itself and thought that overfishing was impossible. However, Newfoundland’s cod fishery began to show signs of trouble during the 1930s, when cod failed to support the fishers and thousands were unemployed. The slump lasted for the next few decades. Then, when an international agreement in 1977 established the 200- mile offshore fishing limit, the Canadian government decided to build up the modem Grand Banks fleet and make fishing a viable economic base for Newfoundland again. All of Newfoundland’s seafood companies were merged into one conglomerate. By the 1980s, the conglomerate was prospering, and cod were commanding excellent prices in the market. Consequently, there was a significant increase in the number of fishers and fish-processing plant workers. However, while the offshore fishery was prospering, the inshore fishermen found their catches dropping off. In 1992 the Canadian government responded by closing the Grand Banks to groundfishing. Newfoundland’s cod fishing and processing industries were shut down in a bid to let the vanishing stocks recover. The moratorium was extended in 1994, when all of the Atlantic cod fisheries in Canada were closed, except for one in Nova Scotia, and strict quotas were placed on other species of groundfish. Canada’s cod fishing industry collapsed, and around 40,000 fishers and other industry workers were put out of work. Atlantic cod stocks had once been so plentiful that early explorers joked about walking on the backs of the teeming fish. Today, cod stocks are at historically low levels and show no signs of imminent recovery, even after drastic conservation measures and severely limited fishing. Fishermen often blame the diminishing stocks on seals, which prey on cod and other species, but scientists believe that decades of overfishing are to blame. Studies on fish populations have shown that cod disappeared from Newfoundland at the same time that stocks started rebuilding in Norway, raising the possibility that the cod had migrated. Still, no one can predict whether and when the cod will return to the Grand Banks. Question 23: What physical process occurs in the region of the Grand Banks? A. Underwater hot springs heat the water B, Nutrient-rich water flows in from rivers. C. Warm and cold currents come together. D. Tides transport plankton and small fish. Question 24: Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the underlined sentence in paragraph 1? A. The Grand Banks used to have the world’s largest concentration of cod because of favorable natural conditions B. The Grand Banks is the only place on Earth where cod are known to come together in extremely large groups. C. The environmental resources of the Grand Banks have made many people wealthy from cod fishing. D. Millions of cod come to the Grand Banks every year to feed on the abundant supplies of herring and other small fish. Question 25: Why does the author mention Newfoundland’s national dish in paragraph 2? A. To show that Newfoundland used to be a separate country B. To encourage the development of tourism in Newfoundland C. To deseribe the daily life of people in Newfoundland D.

The moratorium was extended in 1994, when all of the Atlantic cod fisheries in Canada were closed, except for one in Nova Scotia, and strict quotas were placed on other species of groundfish, Canada’s cod fishing industry collapsed, and around 40,000 fishers and other dustry workers were put out of work. ‘Atlantic cod stocks had once been so plentiful that carly explorers joked about walking on the backs of the teeming fish. Today, cod stocks are at historically low levels and show no signs of imminent recovery, even after drastic conservation measures and severely limited fishing. Fishermen often blame the diminishing stocks on seals, which prey on cod and other species, but scientists believe that decades of overfishing are to blame. Studies on fish populations have shown that cod disappeared from ‘Newfoundland at the same time that stocks started rebuilding in Norway, raising the possibility that the cod had migrated. Still, no one can predict whether and when the cod will return to the Grand Banks.

Mrs Lee: So, tell me about my trip to Europe. Will I leave on Saturday or Sunday? Secretary: I've booked your ticket for Saturday, Mrs Lee. Let me see, that’s the 11 th and your plane leaves at 10 a.m, Mrs Lee: So, I'll get to the airport at about eight. Secretary: Yes. And you'll arrive in London at eleven fifty - you won't stop in Frankfurt this time, Mr Porter from our Amsterdam office will arrive at about the same time, so you can go together to your meeting at the factory - no time to go to the hotel, I’m afraid. Mrs Lee: OK. And after the meeting? Secretary: You'll have the afternoon free. Then in the evening you'll meet Jane and Peter Cook. Mrs Lee: Is that at their home? Secretary; Not this time. You're going to meet in a Japanese restaurant near your hotel. Then the next morning you'll go to Paris on the train. Mrs Lee: Yes, that’s better than flying again. [pause] Now listen again. PART 2 You will hear a man talking on the radio about a new sports and fitness centre. For each question, fill in the missing information in the numbered space, ‘Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Woman: And just to finish our round-up of local news - Chris Peterson is going to tell us about the new Crossways sports and fitness centre, Man: Yes, thank you. It’s almost finished and the sports centre will be open to the public next week ‘on June 16" - that’s for sports and swimming, The fitness centre isn’t quite finished, however, and ‘won't be open until 21°" August. The fitness centre looks out over the lake and has one of the best views in the area, So we're all looking forward to that. Pll give you some information now about what you can do in the sports centre. There are facilities for indoor sports - that’s squash, volleyball, basketball and table tennis - and outdoor sports like football, tennis and hockey. Theres also a new swimming pool. It's 50 metres long, that's twice the size of the old pool which ‘was only 25 metres. And for those of you who want to get fit, you should book an appointment with an advisor in our fitness centre who will help you decide which equipment to use ot which classes tojoin. For instance, we can show you equipment to make your legs stronger, or give you an exereise plan for your whole body. If you want to reserve a place in a class, go to reception or phone the sports club number. There are keep fit classes, exercise and dance classes. Our prices compare very well with other sports and fitness centres in the region. You pay an annual fee and then an entrance fee per visit. I's a good idea to book as it will get very busy on Saturdays and Sundays. Half-price entrance will be available on Wednesdays for students. There’s a website and I'll give you the phone number...

That's why I chose this subject. My degree is in engineering, you see. I still wasn't too sure I wanted, to give up the only part of the day when I did absolutely nothing, but I'm actually enjoying going to college after work! I'm fighting in the courts to make it easier for people like ‘me to protect their ideas. If you're a writer or a songwriter you own your own creation without paying @ penny, but people who create mechanical objects have to fight for their rights and pay for them. That's fundamentally unfair. And I'm not doing this just to benefit myself I'm doing it so that other individuals like me who work alone won't be disadvantaged by large companies with large budgets. You hear someone talking on the radio about an artist. How does the artist feel about his work? A He would like to exhibit it in an art gallery, B He wants to make his creations last longer, He is happy to see his work destroyed, Gennaro Naddeo is an unusual sort of artist. For a start his creations rarely survive more than a few weeks, and sometimes as little as a few hours. They either go stale, or they melt, or else they are devoured by the very people who most admire and appreciate them. Not surprising really, since his materials of choice are butter, chocolate, cake and sugar. With the help of a freezer his work would find itself in an art gallery. But Naddeo has very modest ambitions and the highest compliment he can hope to be paid is to have his works sliced up and swallowed. Four, You hear a woman talking to her son. Why is she talking to him? A togive hima warning B to refuse permission © tomake a suggestion know you really want to go on this climbing holiday, bur will there be anyone with you who is a qualified climber, a guide? You hear of so many people getting inte difficulties and on TV they're always warning people not to go alone into the mountains. Contact the mountain guide service, tell them where you're going and ask for formation information about the region. Get as mucl a you can and then talk to me about it again. ul YAY O LeFive. ‘You hear part of a lecture about the role of retired people in the economy. What ie the lecturer describing? A reasons why something is changing B errors in statistical information © disagreements between researchers ‘Well, basically, in Western countries the retired population is split. There's a significant minority who are really quite well off, and so they have consumer power, and we now see businesses like holiday companies, for example, targeting this group. But even the significant majority who are living off their pensions or savings and trying to make ends meet, are collectively powerful because there are #0 many of them, and they are demanding more specialised products from manufacturers who are having to design more of their products for people of this age range. six You hear a chef being interviewed on the radio. Why did he decide to become a chef? A to follow a family tradition B to develop a natural talent C to pursue his love of cooking Int: Was there a particular moment in your life when you thought - this is the job for me? Chef: Well not really. My mother used to put these meals on the table that were inedible. Pastry that you couldn’t cut through ... rice that came out of a pan in a lump. Int: So it was a case of having to! Chef: If we wanted to eat, yes. Of course, I realised eventually, ‘Hey, | could do this'. | knew how to make things taste good. And that’s what I wanted to build on when | went to college. Even though at the time, I found it a bit ofa chore, you know, getting home from school you just wanted to go out with your mates. Seven. You hear a teenager talking about the sport she plays. How does she feel while she is playing the sport? A uncomfortable B embarrassed C confident 12For girls, it’s never a case of going down the road to the nearest club, you have to find a club and travel to it. ‘There aren't many so you have to make the effort. When people ask, ‘Are you sporty?’ I don't always admit to playing football. Somehow I feel awkward. Some females say, ‘I can’t understand why you do it, you'll get all dirty: I started playing competitively when I was nine years old. There were some negative responses at first, but when people saw me play, they realised that once I’m on the field, ! know exactly what I'm doing. Eight. ‘You hear an explorer talking about a journey he’s making. How will he travel once he’s across the river? A__ by motor vehicle B on horseback C on foot ‘The engine's full of water at the moment, it’s very doubtful if any of the trucks can get across the river in this weather. The alternative is to carry all the stuff across using the old footbridge, which is perfectly possible ... just rather a slow business ... and then use horses rather than trucks for the rest of the trip; all the way instead of just the last 10 or 15 kilometres as was our original intention. We can always pick up the vehicles again on the way back down. They'll be safe enough here.
