entertaining ​(2)________​ with books and developing a fervent imagination. She even
(3)________ ​up her own secret languages. Cowell believes that today’s children still have a
real ​(4)________​ for language, even though their attention​ (5)________​ may not be as great
as in her day, ​(6)________​ them less tolerant of descriptive passages in stories. Her books
are outlandish and exciting, with vivid imagery, cliffhangers and eye-catching illustrations.

B. ​Open Cloze Test​ (CPE)

Fear of Flying

Fear of flying is among the most understandable and prevalent of phobias. One

ranks alongside fear of snakes - and one in 10 refuses to fly under any circumstances. The
agony is not just being five miles high with no visible ​(3) …..​ of support, but having
absolutely no control. Risks aren't the problem, but fear. The argument that we are in greater
(4) …..​ in a car, or boiling an egg, is irrelevant. The phobia cuts sufferers off from friends and
families, and can damage careers.
But most will overcome their fear (even if they will never leap aboard planes with a
(5) …..​ heart) by understanding more about how and why an aircraft flies, and learning how
to cope with anxiety. Every six weeks, two experienced British Airways captains, Douglas
Ord and Peter Hughes, persuade two planeloads of nervous and often terrified passengers

board a plane without feeling overwhelming panic.

6. A. to B. with C. by D. in

A Private Man

Alec Guinness is a difficult subject for a biographer. He has, very deliberately,

covered what he wants to hide with a truth that partly satisfies him and​ (7) ….. ​the curious.
His reaction against revealing himself is deep, instinctive and should be respected. But while
respected, this can also be questioned and not followed in ​(8) …..​ subservience. Guinness
has frequently defended his privacy. He has also complained that some of his
contemporaries have become, in later life, ‘unexpectedly and brutally frank’. There is surely
only one way to (​9) …..​ one’s private life, and that is not to become a public figure. ​Paul
Schofield, another great actor, has done just this, truly ​(10) …..​ himself the attention that
should have been ​(11) …...​ Guinness, on the other hand, has enjoyed the limelight while
claiming not to; he has enjoyed very much on his own ​(12) …..

B. ​Use the correct form of the word in the box to fit each gap.

There are a myriad of lifestyle issues affecting the youth of today. Such is the
pressure heaped on many school-goers to achieve academic excellence by their parents
that these ​(9) _______ (REAL)​ expectations are causing children to become hopelessly
depressed. Indeed, some, in their ​(10) _______ (DESPAIR)​ to escape and their sense of
guilt at being unable reach the levels of success demanded of them by their ​(11) _______
(PUSH)​ parents, either rebel in what is ​(12) _______ (AMOUNT)​ to a cry for help, or, worse

become morbidly obese.
