1. You find this animal everywhere. Many people are disgusted by it or afraid of it.

What animal is it?

yellow-brown and spread on all parts of its body. It is strong and has a powerful jaw that
can crush the skulls of its prey.

3. The Australian box jellyfish is considered the most venomous marine animal. Box
jellyfish, named for their body shape, have tentacles covered in biological booby traps
known as nematocysts—tiny darts loaded with poison. People and animals, unfortunate
enough to be injected with this poison, may experience paralysis, cardiac arrest, and even
death, all within a few minutes of being stung. However, of the 50 or so species of box
jellyfish, only a few have venom that is lethal to humans.
Which picture shows the animal described in the monologue?
4. Even though they live in the ocean, dolphins are mammals, not fish. Like every mammal,
dolphins are warm blooded. Unlike fish, that breathe through gills, dolphins breathe air
using lungs. Dolphins must make frequent trips to the surface of the water to catch a
breath. Other characteristics of dolphins, that make them mammalsrather than fish, are
that they give birth to live young rather than laying eggs and they feed their young with
milk.
Which picture shows the animal discussed in the monologue?
5. Poison-hemlock is very toxic. Sheep, cattle, swine, horses, and other domestic animals
can be poisoned by eating small amounts of this plant either green or dried. It is also

erect clusters. All parts of poison-hemlock are poisonous. People can be poisoned by
eating any part of a hemlock plant.

Questions 1 and 2 are based on the following monologue.

Hares were persecuted by the other beasts. They did not know where to go. As soon as they
saw a single animal approaching them, they ran. One day, they saw a troop of wild horses
and, in quite a panic, all the hares rushed off to a lake nearby, determined to drown
themselves rather than live in such a continual state of fear. But just as they got near the bank
of the lake, a troop of frogs, frightened by the approach of the hares, jumped into the water.
“Truly!” said one of the hares, “things are not as bad as they seem!”

In this part of the test, you will hear several monologues spoken in English. Each monologue
will be spoken twice. They will not be printed in your test book, so you must listen carefully
to understand what the speakers are saying. After you listen to the monologue and the
question about it, read the five possible answers and decide which one would be the best
answer to the question you have heard.
1. I have several close friends, but my best friend is Amalia. She doesn’t go to my school,
but we live in the same street and have been friends for as long as I can remember. She is
very smart and likes music very much. She plays the flute and has competed in and won a
lot of contests. She is not very athletic, though. I like doing sports, but I don’t do them
with her except for swimming. She is not very good at swimming but she likes it because
it is peaceful underwater.
What is the monologue about?
2. Too much heat is not safe for anyone. It is even riskier if you are older and have health
problems. It is important to get relief from the heat quickly. If not, you might begin to feel
confused or faint. Your heart could become stressed and it might stop beating. Being hot
for too long can be a problem. It can cause several illnesses, all grouped under the name
hyperthermia. If you have heat stroke, you need to get medical help right away. Older
people living in homes or apartments without air conditioning or fans are at most risk.
People who become dehydrated or those with chronic diseases or alcoholism are also at
most risk. To lower your risk of heat-related illness, drink plenty of liquids, keep your
house as cool as possible, dress for the weather, don’t try to exercise or do a lot of
activities outdoors when it’s hot, and avoid crowded places when it’s hot outside.
What is the monologue about?
3. As a child in school, did you ever struggle to see what your teacher wrote on the board?
Maybe you could read easily from a book, but things farther away may have looked
blurry. Blurry distant vision is the main symptom of myopia. Myopia typically begins in
childhood. In most cases, the amount of nearsightedness children have stabilizes by the
time they reach adulthood. Some people, however, may have myopia that continues to
worsen with age. Researchers are looking to see if and how myopia might be related to a
person’s sex, age, ethnicity, and environmental exposure. In the past, experts thought that
myopia might arise in children who spent too much time indoors reading and writing,
which require close-up vision, or from reading in poorly lit rooms. Recent studies,
however, suggest that increased prevalence of myopia in children might instead be related
to children spending less time outdoors.
What is the symptom of myopia?
4. Your sense of smell enriches your experience of the world around you. Different scents
can change your mood, transport you back to a distant memory, and may even help you
bond with loved ones. Your ability to smell also plays a key role in your health. If your
ability to smell declines, it can affect your diet and nutrition, physical well-being, and
everyday safety.Loss of the sense of smell can also put you in harm’s way if you don’t
notice a “warning” smell. A recent national health and nutrition survey found that 1 in 10
8
people couldn’t identify the smell of smoke, and about 15% couldn’t identify the smell of
natural gas.
Why can smell loss be dangerous?
5. You’re feeling lousy. You’ve got sniffles, sneezing, and a sore throat. Is it a cold, flu, or
allergies? It can be hard to tell them apart because they share so many similar symptoms.
But understanding the differences will help you choose the best treatment. “If you know
what you have, you won’t take medications that you don’t need, that aren’t effective, or
that might even make your symptoms worse,” says NIH’s Dr. Teresa Hauguel, an expert
on infectious diseases that affect breathing. To treat colds or flu, get plenty of rest and
drink lots of fluids. If you have the flu, pain relievers/ such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or
ibuprofen can reduce fever or aches. Allergies can be treated with antihistamines or
decongestants.
What should you do when you have allergies?

the five possible answers and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you
have heard.

Blue whales are the largest animals to live on earth. The largest blue whale ever recorded was
33.6 m long and weighed nearly 180 tons. The blue whale was so-named for its colour, a
bluish-grey that looks aquamarine under the water. They are also called “sulphur bottoms”
because of the colour of their underside. The variation in colour patterns between whales
helps identify individuals. The body of a blue whale is normally up to 30 m long in the
southern hemisphere and 27 m in the northern hemisphere. Adult blue whales weigh
approximately 160 tons, equal to about 23 adult elephants. Females are somewhat larger than
males. The body of the blue whale is tapered and streamlined to increase the whale’s
swimming speed.
Question 12: Which one of the following statements is true?
Question 13: What is the advantage of colour variation in whales?

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on 8 January 1942. Both of his parents had
attended Oxford University and his father was a medical researcher. Stephen enjoyed maths
and science in school, which earned him the nickname “Einstein”. He wanted to study maths
at university. However, because Oxford didn't have a maths degree at the time, he chose
physics and chemistry. In university, he was a member of the school's boat club and enjoyed
classical music. After graduating from Oxford, he studied for his PhD at the University of
Cambridge.

My name is John. A couple of days after my birth I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a
genetic disease that most critically affects the lungs. The doctors gave me a life expectancy of
about 20 years. With that diagnosis, the odds seemed to be against me already at the outset of
my life. There were doubts that I would ever be able to live independently and without being
in need of assistance and medical treatment, and whether I would ever be able to graduate.
The chances were slim that I could live a healthy, normal life. But I am 30 years old now,
happily married to a wonderful woman and I live and experience a remarkably interesting and
fulfilling life. I am amazed at the list of things I have been able to do so far, a lot of them
regarded, earlier, as being impossible.
Question 14: When was John’s condition diagnosed?
Question 15: How long wasJohn’s life expectancy, in the doctors’ opinion?
