Endangered species: The last animals of their kind

17 ___
An endangered species is a species that is at risk of becoming extinct. It might be at risk because its
territory is threatened, or because there are very few mature individuals left.

18 ___
The natural extinction rate would be 1-5 species per year. The current rate could be as high as 2,000
per year. There are at least 25,000 species in danger of extinction right now.

19 ___
Every species plays a part in the global ecosystem. They also provide humans with food, medicines
and materials for building and clothing. Moreover, they all have their own unique value and beauty.

20 ___
Humans are to blame for the problem. Animal habitats are destroyed by pollution and climate
change. Humans have also hunted or fished many animals so much that the populations cannot
recover by reproduction.

21 ___
If we don't want extinction to go on at its current rate, we need to support the organizations that are
working to conserve endangered species and their natural habitats. We also need to stop buying
products that damage the environment. This will help to preserve the diversity of life on our planet.

Task 5

Read the text below. For questions (22–26) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D). Write
your answers on the separate answer sheet.

Mark Beaumont: Pushing ultra endurance

Scottish cyclist Mark Beaumont, who was born in 1983 showed a talent
for sports at an early age. He completed his first long-distance bike ride
at the age of 12 when he rode from John O’Groats at the top of
Scotland, all the way down to Land’s End in the south of England.
Then, on 15 February 2008 Beaumont raised £18,000 for charity, and
entered the Guinness World Records when he became the fastest person
to cycle around the world. He completed his trip in 195 days and 6
hours, beating the record of 276 days, which had previously been set by
another British man, Steven Strange.
Beaumont’s trip began and ended in Paris and took him through 20
countries across Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia and
North America. The speed of his journey was amazing. It took him only
four hours to cross Holland and just three hours to cross Germany. He cycled across four American
states in two days.
But Beaumont’s trip included some unexpected problems. As well as his bike, Beaumont carried 80
kg of equipment that included a tent, tools and cameras. He had his wallet and camera stolen when
he was staying in a motel in the USA. He came down with food poisoning in Lahore, Pakistan, and
was knocked off his bike in Louisiana, USA, by a motorist. He even had to take a detour when he
was crossing the border into Malaysia to escape the violent anti-government activity that was taking
place in southern Thailand.
One of Beaumont’s other problems was food. He had to eat around 6.000 calories a day in order to
keep up his energy levels, which was often difficult to do. This meant that even though he is a
vegetarian, he was forced to sometimes eat meat. In the Australian outback, where there are few
shops, he often didn't have enough proper food, so he had to eat chocolate bars and tins of baked
beans instead. In both Australia and the USA, it was hard to avoid junk food - not an ideal diet for a
long-distance cyclist!
When Beaumont left Paris on 5 August 2007 to start his journey, only a small crowd was there to
see him off. However, Beaumont kept a blog while he was travelling, so that people could read
about his journey. More and more people followed his blog, with the result that on his return to
Paris, thousands of people, hundreds of media representatives, and even the British Ambassador to
France, gathered to welcome him back. Since then, Beaumont’s record has been broken a number of
times - both by himself and others - and in 2017 he completely smashed his old record by cycling
around the world in 79 days.

22 What was outstanding about Beaumont's 2008 achievement?

A He was the fastest person to cycle across Europe.

B He was the first British man to cycle around the world.
C He beat the previous record by more than 80 days.
D He got paid £18,000 for his long-distance bike ride.

23 What forced Beaumont to change his route?

A a collision with a car

B a theft
C becoming ill
D a political conflict

24 What does 'this' in paragraph 4 refer to?

A the need for 6,000 calories

B his being a vegetarian
C the length of the journey
D the difficulty of the journey

25 What does the author say about the Australian outback?

A The local people eat a lot of fast food.

B There aren't many places to buy proper food.
C The shops sell only chocolate bars and baked beans.
D It's easy to maintain a healthy diet there.

26 Why were so many people present when Beaumont arrived back in Paris?

A The media had advertised the event.

B A lot of people read his blog and followed his journey.
C The British Ambassador attended the event.
D People wanted to see him break his own record.

C reading a diary?

D learning to paint?
E performing outdoors?

F showing different art forms?

G reflecting on personal experiences?
H trying to change a way of living?

27 ____
The narrator of Philippe Beaussant's Rendezvous in Venice is called Pierre. For many years, he
watched as his Uncle Charles - an eminent art historian - deciphered portraits like a detective.
Pierre is convinced that the only women Uncle Charles was interested in were those in
portraits, until, after his uncle's death, he finds a notebook that details a passionate affair and a
trip to Venice.

28 ____
What would Emily Brontё have thought about her novel, Wuthering Heights, being turned into a
play performed in a central London park? Perhaps that it was funny. But whatever she may have
thought, the Hyde Park Theatre Company have achieved a major triumph in taking their
audience on a journey to a strange and dark world of the wild Yorkshire Moors.

29 ____
We proudly present our 5th annual show at The Black & White gallery in Pall Mall, London:
500 Shades of London. We have put together a breathtaking collection of photographs,
paintings and illustrations of different aspects of London life. All the participating artists came
to the UK from other countries - from Jamaica to Japan - and developed their own sense of
belonging and a community in which to create their own art.

 30 ____
Guo Yue is renowned as a Chinese bamboo flute player; he also offers cookery workshops in
London. It's little surprise then that his memoir Music, Food and Love should put these
subjects into focus. The terrors of the Cultural Revolution are softened here by Yue's
thoughts about cooking and eating. The traditional recipes included in the book will appeal
to adventurous chefs and less experienced amateurs alike.

31 ____
This is the story of a 30-something-year-old woman who struggles with her age, weight, job,
and her lack of love. She decides to take control of her life. It’s adapted from the book by
Helen Fielding and stars Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. It also includes
cameo appearances by Salman Rushdie and Jeffrey Archer. Despite the chick-flick genre,
it’s a very funny and heart-warming movie!

32. ____
Get to know Arthur Conan Doyle: wildly successful author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries,
whose life turns upside down when he meets George Edalji, a half-Indian lawyer who was
wrongfully convicted and imprisoned. George needs Arthur's help to clear his name.
However, as the case unfolds, Arthur himself questions George's innocence. Julian Barnes
transforms a real-life case into a gripping fictional story of a private investigator.

Task 7

two choices you do not need to use. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.

Families are a great target for advertising campaigns, but when they’re portrayed on TV, they’re
often unrealistic stereotypes. They live in lovely, clean homes (33) ____. The parents are successful
and relaxed with their wonderfully behaved children. All their children are clever, funny and
dressed in fashionable clothes. Moreover, brothers and sisters all seem to get on well with each
other! Why do advertising companies paint such an unrealistic picture? It’s because these ideal
families represent the types of people (34) ____. They want us to think that if we buy these
products, we can be just like them. Often the advertised products are (35) ____, such as a
comfortable family car, or a fantastic holiday. Or they are advertising products by showing caring
parents giving their happy children a new healthy kind of yoghurt or some tasty new cheese.
Sometimes when advertising family food, companies intentionally leave out important information
in their advertising. For example, they claim that their chocolate cereal can be part of a healthy diet
but fail to mention (36) ____ than anyone should consume. This can give the viewer the wrong
idea, but doesn’t say anything that’s untrue.
Another big target for advertising companies is teenagers. Often young men and women are
portrayed as unhappy people with few friends until the moment (37) ____, buy a body spray or
wear the latest jeans or trainers. Then they become really cool people that everyone wants to hang
out with.
Using celebrities is another great method for adverts directed at all ages. If your favourite sports
star, film star or singer is telling you that a product is the best, it must be true - mustn’t it? Most
people forget that these people are being paid a fortune (38) ____. One last point: have you ever
noticed how much louder the adverts are than the programme you were watching? It’s just another
way to attract your attention.

A that we as viewers would like to be

B to create an impression of perfect happiness
C that there is more sugar in it
D that are filled with all the latest furniture and gadgets
E when they try out a new spot cream
F that his diet doesn't include dairy
