§ 1. Claudio Bonifacio is a modem day treasure hunter. For most people, the title ‘treasure hunter' more than
likely brings to mind images of brave explorers fighting pirates to find a chest (сундук) full of sparkling jewels. But
contrary to this stereotype, Bonifacio finds most of his bullion (gold and silver) in libraries full of ancient shipping
records rather-than with the help of the ancient magical map you might expect He has spent many years searching
the naval archives in Seville, from which he has located the positions of more than 2,500 sunken galleons —the ships
the Spaniards used to sail the high seas from the 15th to the 18th centuries.
§ 2. Bonifacio has tnmed his activities into a very profitable career. Such is his fame as a marine archeologist
that he can demand very large foes. Heprovides the information he gathers out from his research to companies with
the resources to raise the bullion from tne wrecks. Bonifacio has worked for several Latin American governments, the
Spanish government and the Italian national council.
§ 3. However, Bonifacio is unwilling to reveal the names of his private clients, or say how much money they have
made from the wrecks. The reason for this is that they wish to remain anonymous due to uncertainty about ownership
of the ocean floor (дно). Countries such as Honduras, where Bonifacio has discovered many wrecks, insist on their
right to take all the treasures found in their territorial waters.
§ 4. Bonifacio is unsure of exactly how much bullion has been found by others as a result of his years of hard work,
but he is sure that it must be many millions of dollars worth. ‘I hear reports,’ he says, ‘but in this type of work there
is a great amount of secrecy, not only because of governments claiming the entire treasure, but also for tax reasons.’
§ 5. Bonifacio's passion has afao stimulated the discovery of old Spanish and Portuguese gold mines in South
America, Mexico and the Caribbean. ’In the 1560s and 1570s,’ he explains, ‘most of the gold and silver transported to
Europe was stolen from the Incas and the Aztecs; but later, mines provided the main source of bullion. Mining technology
in those days, however, was naturally very basic and the mines were not worked very efficiently. Most were eventually
abandoned because it was believed there Was no more gold to be found. Now, though, with modern day techniques,
the world’s mining companies are of course only too happy to pay me to search the records and find them! They know
only too well that there is more than likely still plenty of gold just waiting to be discovered.’
A37. Where does Bonifacio look for clues to hidden treasure?
1) in secret libraries 2) on ancient maps ■3) in historical documents
A38. How does Bonifacio make a living?
1) People employ him to raise bullion from shipwrecks.
2) He sells information about the whereabouts of sunken treasure.
3) He usually keeps a share of any bullion found.
A39. What problem do Bonifacio’s private clients face?
1) how exactly to raise the shipwrecks
2). the possibility that they could be breaking the law
3) Bonifacio's refusal to tell them everything they want to know
A40. Bonifacio doesn't know the total amount of bullion found due to his work because
1) some of his clients won’t tell him how much they find.
2) governments never tell him the truth.
3) he has never been particularly interested in knowing.

A few years ago, a company called Space Marketing came up with a plan to send a mile-long advertisement into
space. Using light reflected from the sun, it would beam out a message as large as the moon that could be seen by every
single person on the planet as it orbited the Earth.
Ibis would have been one advert that couldn’t have been thrown out with the junk mail or switched off by remote
control. (A43) Advertising standards agencies eventually decided not to allow Space Marketing to go ahead .with
their plans and they were forced to abandon them, but not before several major companies had made serious enquiries
about launching their logos into space.

Space may indeed be the final frontier for advertisers, because on Earth we are already surrounded by advertising
wherever we are and whatever we are doing. (A44) There are the promises of health and vitality on the cereal
packet we ate from this morning, for example, and die ad that we saw on the side of the bus we caught to work.
Most of the time, we are probably not even aware of these less obvious advertising tactics, but that doesn’t mean
that they aren’t effective. (A45) You are in a packed cinema, watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster. There
are adverts before the him or during a break in the him, but are there any during the him? Well, look carefully at the
make of car your favourite actor is driving. And what about his watch? Can you see what brand it is? Chances are* you
can, and the company that owns the brand is likely to have paid thousands for it to appear in the film.
Whilst products are most often ‘placed’ in this way in movies and TV series, they also sometimes appear in music
videos, video games, plays and even books. (446) You may not realise you are being influenced by a technique
that sounds so simple, but advertisers consider product placement to be a highly effective form of advertising. After
all, they would not be willing to spend as much money as they do on it if they didn't truly believe it worked.
In fact, associating products with cool, exciting lives seems to be one of the most common forms of advertising.
And let’s not forget the power of pure entertainment! (A48) If the consumers are looking forward to the
next ‘episode’ of an ad, once again the product has become associated with something ‘cool’ and is therefore likely to
see a considerable rise in popularity.
So, whether Space Marketing eventually succeeds in launching ads into space or not is perhaps a less important
issue than it might seem.

1) Apart from the obvious adverts that we see every day on TV, on billboards and in newspapers and magazines,
there is a whole ‘other world’ of advertising messages fighting for our attention.
2) However, this-is a truly inescapable form of advertising.
3) To advertising executives and agencies, it would have been ‘a dream come true’.

1) То a certain extent, this would not change a thing.
2) The hope is to convince people to believe that if they can have the products, then they can have the cool,
happy lifestyles of their heroes, too.
3) Nowadays, many TV adverts have become more like soap operas with a series of humorous adventures complete
with their own cast.
4) Some advertising companies even employ ‘cool hunters’or marketing professionals to find out for them exactly
what young people find cool.

§ 1. Ask a biologist what the most intelligent creatures are on Earth, and they’ll probably come up with a fairly
similar list: larger mammals such as horses, dogs, dolphins, pigs, the great apes as well as some birds like crows and
ravens. But now some scientists believe that one of the most intelligent beings on Earth is in fact the octopus —which
doesn’t belong to any of these groups.
§ 2. Every schoolchild knows that octopuses have eight legs and can shoot ink while trying to escape from
enemies. But there are many other unusual things about octopuses. For example, if an octopus loses a leg, it can grow
a new one. It also has three hearts and complex eyes, which seem to belong to a mammal rather than a sea creature.
Octopuses also seem to be experts at escaping —they have extremely soft, flexible bodies and can escape through holes
not much bigger than their eyes.
However, even until quite recently, little was known about octopus intelligence. There are several r e a s o n s
for this. Firstly, octopuses usually live at the bottom of river mouths ana seas —areas which are not attractive to
researchers. Secondly, they are not social animals so it can be difficult to study their interaction with others. Perhaps
most importantly, octopus intelligence is not easy for humans to understand. Octopuses seem like strangers. Scientists
need to have a lot of imagination to be able to understand what an octopus is thinking!
§ 4. In the 1950s, the US Air Force sponsored scientists to study the way octopuses use their brains. They hoped
that they could use this knowledge to help them build better computers. However, their brains were so complex that
the scientists quickly gave up. And even today the octopus brain is a mystery. Octopuses have a very complex nervous
system and recent research suggests that they have some of their intelligence inside each arm, which means that each
arm can ‘think’ for itself. It also appears that they have good memories, perhaps similar to a cat’s. Some octopuses in
laboratories seem to play with objects as if they were toys —a sure sign of intelligence. Others could pick, up complicated
skills like opening jars.
§ 5. Perhaps the most striking thing about octopuses is tbeir ability to change their colour and body pattern.
They do this to camouflage themselves and also to communicate with others. They can completely change their
appearance in less than a second. A scientist once observed an octopus that changed its appearance nearly 1,000 times
during seven hours of feeding!
437. Now some scientists believe that
1) all octopuses are more intelligent than larger animals.
2) we can add the octopus to the list of most intelligent animals.
3) the octopus isn’t in fact a mammal.
438. An octopus's eye is
1) rather unusual for a mammal.
2) rather unusual for a creature that lives in the sea.
3) not very complicated.

Like most tourists, I enjoy taking photographs on holiday and can’t wait to show them to friends and family
when I get back. But whilst for me they represent treasured memories, to others they are more often than not simply
a collection of boring, badly composed, out of focus pictures. So this year I decided to do something about this by
booking myself on a trip to Rome which included photography lessons.
The first time I went to Rome, Гremember thinking that it was a photographer’s paradise with a fantastic photo
opportunity lying around every corner. (443) • Added to this was the fact that there were crowds of tourists
10
everywhere, blocking all the best views. But this second time things were different, Antonio, my photography tutor,
was on hand to give expert advice every step of the way.
The first thing Antonio told our group was that the secret to creating a good photographic image rather than
just a snapshot is to first take a long look at what you want to photograph. For example, he said, you should consider
the background just as much as you do the subject, (A44) You can get unwanted figures out of your image simply
by getting down on your knees to take a picture, for instance, or changing the angle of the shot.
Our first port1of call was Piazza Navona, where Antonio gave us advice about how to photograph the Fountain
of Neptune. (Л45) Then, he added that we should take the photo with the fountain slightly off centre.
Next, we headed off to the Pantheon, which was originally an ancient Roman temple. Along the way, I took the
opportunity to photograph anything that caught my eye. The Pantheon itself is so huge that it is impossible to take
a good photograph of the whole thing. (Л46) I tried out this technique by lying down on the floor and taking a
picture of just one section of the great domed ceiling. 1was pretty pleased with the results.
For the next couple of hours, we wandered around the historic centre visiting many of Rome's architectural
highlights. (A47) And 1felt that I was really able to appreciate the sights as I had to look at each one so carefully
in order to get good pictures.
We finished off our first morning tour with a stop at a traditional Roman street cafe. After all the hard work and
walking I’d done, a large Italian ice cream seemed like the perfect reward! (A48) , ■It felt like a whole new world
had opened up to me. I learnt an incredible amount over the next two days, as well as having a thoroughly enjoyable
time in one of the world’s most beautiful cities.

1) Firstly, he said, we should try to include the background in an unusual way.
2) Yet by myself I didn’t have a clue how to go about getting some good shots.
3) Some of the advice didn’t work as well as I expected.
4) How you position yourself is also really important.

1)1 didn’t get at all tired, even though I was on my feet for such a long time.
2) According to Antonio, however, it’s much better to try to find one interesting detail.
3) Afterwards, feeling refreshed, I spent the rest of the afternoon alone practising my new skills.
4) It just goes to show that it is not the equipment that counts but how you use it.

61. ‘Art for art’s sake,’is a translation of a French quotation which expresses a philosophy about what art should
be. What is meant by the phrase is that a true piece of art should be able to stand шопе, to do nothing more than to
please the eye. Bryant Holsenbeck, an artist from North Carolina, USA, takes the idea behind the quote a step further:
while she does create art of great beauty, she also creates art that carries a valuable message.
§ 2. Through her work, Holsenbeck aims to show how wasteful people have become in today Vsociety. She has
been involved in many art projects, widely diverse in both theme and scope. Whatever her subject, all of Hofsenbeck’s
art has one thing in common; it is all constructed from 'stuff that people simply throw away because they had thought it
was rubbish.
§ 3. Holsenbeck’s main philosophy is that nothing is really ‘just trash’. She believes that the fact that American
landfifl sites {мусорная свалка) are so full of recyclable items says alot about American culture. She has said that, 'Americans
create more garbage, per head, than any other culture, yet we are blind to our waste.’ Holsenbeck has made it her calling
to ‘make the blind see’and she does this through her art. By working within communities, she feels that she can open the
eyes of people. She can also show them that the throw-away culture in which we live needs to change and if it doesn’t,
the wond will soon find itself in a terrible situation indeed. Holsenbeck feels that when a person gets involved in her
communal art projects, they become more aware of the fact that what they throw away has an impact on the environment.
With Holsenbeck’s designs, this impact is a positive one because from the garbage come works of great beauty.
§ 4. One of Holsenbeck’s recent projects was a vast labyrinth created from old unwanted shoes. The labyrinth
was a group effort and Holsenbeck had the children of the community where it was constructed write their concerns
about the planet, and life in general, on the individual shoes. Once tne labyrinth was completed, an open invitation
was extended to community members of all ages to walk through the labyrinth, read the children’s messages, and learn
what it is that threatens today’s world.
§ 5. Holsenbeck’s work has been recognised across the US. Wherever she goes, and whatever she does, her message
remains the same, ‘My installations are both meditations and questions. Where does all this ‘stuff come from? Where
does it go? What do we do with it? Why is it here? Let's hope people start getting Holsenbeck’s message.
AS7. What do we learn about Holsenbeck in the first paragraph?
1) She writes poetry.
2) She studied art ia France.
3) She is an American.
A 38. What does the writer suggest about Holsenbeck’s attitude towards Americans in the third paragraph?
1) She thinks they need to be made aware of something.
2) She believes they know they are doing something bad.
3) She feels that they cannot be helped.
Д39. According to the writer, Holsenbeck's labyrinth
1) was made with worn-out footwear..
2) was only visited by the young.
3) worried some members of the community.
A40. In regards to Holsenbeck, the writer believes that.
1) she has much to learn about art.
2) she raises some very important questions.
3) she should make her message clearer.

Way back in 1828, the world’s first modem police force was created bv Sir Robert Peel. The Metropolitan Police
Force of London made its home at the famous Scotland Yard and quickly became the model for police forces around
the world. But it would be another decade before the Detective Branch of Scotland Yard was set up. This branch later
became the Criminal Investigation Department (commonly known as C.I.D) and to this day remains the main police
department in Britain responsible for major crime investigation.
Becoming a plain clothes detective in the C.I.D is no easy task. Firstly, a police officer needs to have served for
at least two years as a uniformed officer. (A43) Once this period has been completed the officer can then apply to
go to a detective training school. However, there’s no guarantee they will be accepted.
14
In order to become a detective, an officer needs to possess a Wide range of skills mid qualities, the most obvious
being complete honesty and good character. They also need to be highly observant and to have good judgement.
(.444) An officer with all these skills could more than likely find themselves being accepted to train as a detective.
Most of these ‘detectives-to-be’ discover that the really hard work begins once they get to the training school.
(A45)___ For instance, they will have to learn about psychology, which will come in handy when they are questioning
suspects and witnesses. Perhaps the most difficult subjects though deal with learning all about the modem scientific
methods now used in crime detection.
Once our future Sherlocks have completed their initial training, they begin life as detective constables and start
working on unsolved crime cases in the C.LD. Most of the work they do is not nearly as glamorous as it seems on TV
and in novels. (Л46) Not exactly exciting, but essential duties all the same.
Apart from having to do painstaking investigative work, detectives also have a lot of paperwork to deal with.
(Л47) Every detail of a crime and its investigation must be recorded. Most detectives find the amount of clerical
work they have to do the most frustrating part of their job.
Nonetheless, it can be a very rewarding job; a detective gets great satisfaction knowing they have solved a major
crime. However, a detective’s job is still not over after a suspect has been arrested and charged. (j448) Only when
the offender is actually behind bars is the detective’s goal achieved. Then there’s always the next case to tackle, of course.

§ 1. Believe it or not, I used to read FHgftt International every week from the age of eight onwards —my father,
an aviation engineer, encouraged my early passion for planes but I never thought that one day I would be working
on it as a journalist
§ 2, FtigfatInternational is read by anyone with an interest in aviation. From pilots to manufacturers, technicians
to air vice marshals, all are readers lookingfor the latest news in this sector. As news editor, I’m responsible for deciding
' what appears on the 20 news pages we produce each week. Aviation is one of the few truly global industries and we
have a team of reporters around the world. When I left school, my original plan was to become an engineer. I studied
aeronautical engineering at university but found the course rather unsatisfactory. At the time there was a huge recession
on with fewjobs going, and I was forced to look round for other options. I actually wrote to Fhgfat and asked for a job.
The then deputy editor advised me to do a course in journalism which had just been set up, which is what I did.
§3.1 found the course useful not so much because it gave me a pretty good basic grounding in journalism, but
mainly because it focused on several work placements, which I was able to do at Ftigfa. I wrote a few pieces and got my
face known at the magazine. When the course finished there were no jobs available on Flight so I went off and worked
for an aviation newsletter. After a year or so the technical reporter at Ffigftt moved to another job and 1was in. The great
thing for me about working here has been the chance to ask people questions about something I’m genuinely interested
in, and to combine it with my other passion, travel After a couple of years 1was offered a job in Munich in Germany.
§ 4. It was fantastic timing as die aviation industry in eastern Europe was just opening up and I got to report on
it and see the region. From there 1w ait to Singapore, which again was an extraordinary experience. I got to fly over
the Far East, visiting factories, meeting fascinating people and doing interviews, and to be honest I would have been
happy to stay there a bit longer.
§5. However, jobs like this don’t come up very often —the last news editor stayed ten years —and so when I
was offered it, I couldn’t really say no. Although I’m much more office-based now, I still go to the big air shows. In
some ways I was getting a bit tired of living out of a suitcase, although I still get a thrill when I take my seat on a new
plane for the first time.
437. Why did the writer read Flight International when he was a child?
1) He wanted to become an airline pilot.
2) He was very interested in planes.
3) He dreamt of becoming a journalist on it.
438. What did the writer like about the journalism course he took?
.1) It was a new course.
2) It gave him basic knowledge of the job.
3) It gave him the chance to make contacts at Flight.
439. What does the writer say be particularly enjoys about working at Flight?
1) the chance to do the two things he most loves
2) the opportunity to travel a great deal
3) the opportunity to meet interesting people
440. What does the writer like about his current post?
1) leading a more settled life 2) working b a n office 3) travelling in new planes

It was back in 1995, when my husband Eric was working as a rubbish collector for rite local town council, that
I first got the idea of recycling clothes. He would frequently find bags of perfectly good clothes just thrown into the
rubbish. I wondered if I Would be able to do something with them which would make money for me and perhaps even
Jielp the community at the same time. I decided to give it a try.
The first thing I did was to place an advertisement in the newspaper inviting people in the neighbourhood to
bring me their second-hand clothing, shoes and bedding instead of throwing them away. Within a week, our garage
was bursting with black plastic bags. (A43) This kept me busy for weeks.
18
At the same time, I was also looking for a shop to rent where I could sell these items. (444) ' ' , But it wasn’t
until I contacted AdVenture, an organisation winch helps people to set up their Own businesses, that I finally got, the
assistance I needed. They helped me find the right shop and gave me advice about getting a business loan to get me
started. That's how Second Best was bom.
For my idea to work, I was going to need a steady supply of clothes. The town council already had recycling bins
for paper, glass and the like. (445) _ I was able to make arrangements to have the clothes collected and brought to
my shop, where I had installed laundry facilities to cope with all the washloads 1 needed todo!
It wasn’t only making money in the shop that interested me, though. 1was still eager for the community to benefit
from my idea, too, so I started to find ways that the large quantities of very old or damaged clothing that I couldn't
sell in the shop could be put to use. (446) Some of the old clothing is now turned into bandages for hospitals, for
example, while one school m the area asks for old jeans to make into lunch bags.
AdVenture believes in encouraging people by giving an annual Special Merit Award to the most successful new
business they have helped. (.447) Not only had I helped so many others, they said, but I had also had to overcome
a major difficulty. In 2000, my shop had been destroyed by fire and I had had to start the business ail over again from
scratch.
Getting back on track wasn't easy. Not only did I have to search for another shop to rent, but I also had to spend
time building up new stocks of clothes, as nearly all of the original stock had been destroyed. (448) Otherwise, I
would have been forced to call it a day. '
Today, twelve years after I first started up, Second Best is a very successful smallbusiness.

§ 1. Minutes before the start of a British Grand Prix in August, the drivers’ faces are grave with concentration.
Fans are screaming. Squeezed into his driving seat, Nelson Jones is pulling on a pair of tight black gloves. No question
where he’s expecting to finish: ‘First,’ he says. At the start signal, with a burst of engine noise, the drivers move quickly
to the first turn. i
§ 2. It all sounds a lot like a Formula One car race, but there’s a difference —Nelson is thirteen years old, and he’s
racing in a go-kart What could be seen as child’s-play is in fact the first step for young talent to move into professional
race cars, because it introduces them to the essential basics such as finding the racing line, concentration and how to
compete on the track. That track record makes karting a must for youngsters keen to make racing their life’s ambition.
§ 3. Nelson Jones has actually been racing since he was eight years old. ‘When my son Nelson showed us how
gifted he was with racing, even at an incredibly young age, I knew we had to do something,’ Nelson's father says.
‘Racing can be really dangerous and it gets expensive, but when I had the opportunity to buy him his first official kart,
I rushed to do it.’
§ 4. After taking part in three or four local races in Britain, in which he won first place, Nelson decided that he
woulago for it and have a crack at his first international Grand Prix in Germany, which he won as well. Nelson now
travels all over Britain and Europe to take part in races. The interest he showed in racing was not via the usual exposure
to video games. ‘We lived near a small karting racetrack and I became fascinated — I couldn’t stop talking about it.
One day, as we were driving past, I made my father stop the car so I could have a better look at the karts flying by.i
saw so many people, including kids my own age, and I took a liking to it straight away.’
§ 5. Nelson eventually got his chance to try it out. The family hired an instructor for amateurs to teach Nelson,
who took him as for as the age of twelve. The instructor then informed Nelson’s father it was time to look for someone
more qualified. Perhaps it is Nelson’s good fortune in having always been expertly advised that has made him so relaxed
about focing the pressures of an international racing circuit. But what is it like to be so young with a schedule fully
booked with races, and all eyes watching him, expecting victory after victory?-‘It’s good for me, as I know what I need
to be doing. The public’s expectations help me focus and concentrate so I can race at my highest level.’
A37. According to the text, karting is important for future Formula One drivers because
1) it helps them decide whether racing is realty their life’s ambition.
2) it teaches them some of the skills they need to race professionally.
3) it shows if yonng drivers have enough talent to become professionals.
A38. How did Nelson’s father react to his son’s interest in racing?
1) He thought Nelson’s talent must be supported.
2) He realised this hobby would be very expensive. >
3) He believed Nelson was too young for racing.
A39. Nelson became interested in kart racing
1) because his fother often talked about it. F
2) because of his exposure to video games.
3) after watching other children doing it.
A40. What does the writer suggest about Nelson’s first race instructor?
1) He lost confidence in his teaching ability.
2) He was not qualified to teach professionals.
3) He wanted to coach someone more qualified.

When you first meet Beatrice Smythe, you are struck by her wonderful smile and her well-toned muscles.
‘Performing on stage is one of the most exciting experiences possible. All the nerves and fright you feel in the
wings just melt away when you foce the audience. Although you are aware of a sea of feces watching you, this is not
what you concentrate on. (A43) If you focus on this, then your dancing will look natural and unforced.'
So how did Beatrice get started? ‘I began taking ballet lessons in a local school when I was six. My teachers felt
I had talent but after 11 years of ballet, I realised I wanted to do something different (Л44) That was it! I had
never seen dancing like this before and immediately decided it was for me. The following year I was offered a place at
a London contemporary dance school where I completed a three-year course.’
22
Today Beatriceisa permanent member of the Charmed Circle Dance GcHnpaty.But was it a difficult transition
ffdm studies to career? ‘I was warned that the competition would be fierce. (Л45) Applying for even the smallest
part meant auditioning with dozens of others. Finally, I was lucky enough to be offered a trial period of one year with
Charmed Circle, even though it meant working without- pay. It was an extremely difficult period, as you can imagine.'
‘I could have bees tempted to join other dance companies on a temporary basis doing one-off paid performances.
But this would have meant missing out on the chance to become part of the regular line-up of what is now one of
Britain's leading contemporary dance companies.’(A46). But Beatrice’s ultimate ambition is to make it to America,
where the ideas behind contemporary dance were first pioneered and developed.
When asked about what it takes to become a dancer, Beatrice didn’t hesitate. 'You have to love what you’re doing,
you have to keep pushing yourself to the limit and you have»U) be slightly mad, tool (A47). Most dancers will tell
you how physically painful daily training can be. You also have to be extremely self-motivated!’
So what does Beatrice particularly enjoy about contemporary dance? ‘Well, for one thing, contemporary movements
are so different from those in other types of dance. In ballet, for example, the movements are strictly structured and you
have to stick to them. In contemporary dance, however, the movements are more expressive and each have individual
meanings in themselves. (A48) Ibis makes them very moving experiences both to perform and to watch.’

between them.

§ 1. The sea has been the most important thing in EJlen MacArthur’s life since she spent a summer on her Aunt
Thea's boat on the English coast when she was eight years old. Her bedtime reading at that time was a biography of a
famous yachtsman who had sailed round the world three times and her dream was to do the same thing. Her parents,
who are both teachers, understood that cross-country running and hockey were not going to provide enough adventure
for their daughter, and that they could do nothing to alter her decision. Ellen had already started to save up her pocket
money to buy a boat.
§ 2. But as Ellen knew, it is easy to dream of doing a round-the-world voyage, but finding the money and learning
how to go about it is more difficult. At the age of eighteen she was only 163 cm tall and weighed a little over 50 kilos,
but she made her first solo trip around the coast of Great Britain. Earner this was a testto see if she could cope with
the hardships of a lone voyage. In 1994 she started talking about entering the Vendee Globe, the famous French single-
handed, non-stop, round-the-world race. By 1996, she knew she had to do it.
§ 3. Then the real struggle began. Ellen lived in a caravan to save money for the race and even slept under her boat
for a few nights during a Northern English winter while she got it ready for the heavy seas. She wrote two thousand
letters asking for sponsorship from companies and got two replies. One of these was from the Kingfisher brewery, and
an alliance was born. She named her boat after them, and they are still her sponsors today. 'My strongest quality is
(hat I just don’t give up,’she says.
§ 4. By the time the boats lined up for the start of the 2000 Vendee Globe race, Ellen MacArthur had sailed
120,000 kilometres in eight months in her beloved Kingfisher, more than anyone else in the race had sailed in the
previous two years. By now she was also a very experienced racer and was considered to be one of the favourites.
Nevertheless, the sight of this tiny figure at the helm of the enormous ocean racing yacht made almost everyone in
France feel protective towards her.
§ S. Ellen believes that everyone who finishes the Vendee Globe is a winner, but she still must have been
disappointed to come second. She had overtaken Michel Desjoyeaux, who eventually won, days before the finish but
ultimately he snatched back the lead. In the spirit of the race, Ellen went back to the finish line to greet most of the
other sailors on their return, including the 60-year-old Frenchman who finished last after nearly five months at sea.
'For me, it’s part of the tradition of the event,’says Ellen. 'You’re there at the start, you should be there at the finish.’
Л37. How did Ellen MacArthur’s parents feel about her ambition?
1) They wanted her to take up other sports. 3) They realised it was inevitable.
2) They thought it would cost too much money.
A38. What made Ellen decide to enter the Vendee Globe race?
1) She wanted to learn more about sailing. 3) She was tired of sailing around Britain.
2) She had proved to herself she could do it.
ASS. Once Ellen had deckled to enter the Vendee Globe race, the most difficult tiling for her was
1) finding somewhere to live. 3) adapting to the cold weather.
2) getting financial support. -
A4& How does Ellen fed about yacht racing?
1) She thinks some of the traditions are pointless.
2) She thinks winning is the mast important thing.
3) She t h i n k s competing is the real achievement

I have been climbing for as long as I can remember, really. When I was twelve years old, my father and I travelled
together to Alaska to dimb Mount Denali, which at 6,194 metres is the highest peak in North America.
The following y e a r , ] joined a youth expedition to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. (A 43) I went on to
climb peaks in Australia, Argentina and Russia, each time with a different team. Sometimes the difficulty was in getting
a visa to miter a particular country, most times it was in finding sponsors willing to help fund my trip.
When I turned 19,1 headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging
expedition I had done so far. First there was the long journey down to the ‘frozen continent’. We took a flight to
Southern Chile and then caught a cargo plane on to the Antarctic, with no heating, real seats or windows. (A44)___

Stijl, it was an indescribable experience. The colours of the ice, air and sky there are so pure without the pollution we
have got so used to everywhere else.
By this time, I had gained a lot of experience and felt I was ready for ‘the big one’, Mount Everest. Everest stands
at 8,848 metres high and is not only the highest mountain on Earth but possibly the most unforgiving, too. (/445)___
We set about making our own preparations, moving our gear up the mountain in stages and burying supplies at regular
intervals for later use.
Throughout most of the climb itself, visibility was down to literally a few metres. (/446) We then had a
heart-stopping wait to see if any large chunks (глыбы) of ice were going to fall and crash us or if a crevasse (расселина
в леднике) was going to open up and swallow us.
The cold is different to what you might expect. Because of the lack of moisture (влажность) at such high altitude,.
you can touch the snow without your hands getting wet. Altitude is a major consideration when you’re climbing.
(A47)___ However, despite the extra calories you’re burning, you lose your appetite considerably. But this is just as
well, as most of the food is boil-in-the-bag!
Mountaineering isn’t for the faint-hearted. {/448) _ Obviously it’s also important to maintain a High level of
physical fitness. I run and cycle to build up endurance and stamina and as each new mountain challenge approaches I
increase my training to include long walks carrying a heavy bag.
Since returning from Everest I’ve been giving a series of talks and presentations on my expeditions. I hope that
they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams whatever the cost.

5 1. Hie prospect of living or working abroad isn't nearly as worrying as it would have seemed 10 or 20 years ago.
Today, increasing numbers of British people are buying homes in the south of France, Spain, Italy and Portugal. The
attractions are obvious: an escape from depressing British winters, glorious beaches and the kind of relaxed lifestyle
for which Latin countries are famous. But people don’t move abroad just for those reasonsithey might be retiring and
looking forward to a well-earned rest in the sun. Then there are many Brits who have set up a business overseas. And
then there are those brave souls who take up the challenge when their companies offer them the chance to live and
work abroad.
5,2. Helena Middleton found herself in the latter position. The petroleum company which employed her as a
sales support executive in London offered her the chance to take part in what was effectively a job swap, (обмен) with
European colleagues. ‘My company was running a special programme for its employees throughout Europe. It wanted
to promote movement between EC countries among employees at a tower level in the company hierarchy. In the past,
only senior management had been given the opportunity to move around.’
§ 3. Those who were asked had to be graduates with two or three years’ experience. I was suitable in that sense.
I was offered a job in Holland, where almost everyone speaks English,’ Helena is the first to admit that she was initially
apprehensive about takingup the offer. ‘I’d never even driven abroad before, so the idea of living and working in a new
country was worrying, but I did it because I thought it would be a challenge. I’m paid an incentive (дополнительная
заработная плата) for working abroad which is not taxable. That’s on top of my normal salary, and the company helps
with maintenance costs on my house at home while I’m away. At the outset, they also sent me lots of information on
getting my car over to Holland, taxing it, sorting out health insurance and so on. At first, the bureaucracy does seem
a lot tacope with. I had to register with the police and at the town hall, for example, and I had to fill in lots of forms
to bring my car out. Probably the only thing I really didn’t like at all was my first few weeks when I stayed in a hotel
here in Breda. It took four weeks to find a flat. The company sent me estate agents’details, but they expect you to get
out there and find something yourself. I finished up in the centre of Breda, which was Lucky and convenient.’
Л37. Why do many British people move to another country?
1) Because the winters are cooler and the beaches are better.
2) Because their company makes them.
3) Because they want a different lifestyle or environment.
Д38. What does the writer think about people who decide to work abroad?
1) It’s an easy decision to make.
2) It takes courage.
3) They shouldn’t hesitate.
Л39. What qualifications did Helena need to work abroad? *
1) A university degree and a foreign language. v* <
2) A foreign language and at least two years’ experience.
3) No less than two years’ experience and a university degree.
Д40. What benefits does working abroad offer Helena?
1) She gets more money,
2) The company sent her a car from England.
3) She pays less tax.

Not many people realise how much strain modem life can put on their eyesight. Working on a computer, watching
television and driving at night are just some of the things that can affect your eyes.
It was traditionally believed that being long-sighted or short-sighted was a condition that was inherited. But
recent studies have shown that this is not always the case. One study in Spain has shown that there has been an increase
in eye problems among schoolchildren. (Л43) It appears that years of focusing on books causes most children to
become slightly short-sighted by the age of ten.
New problems, such as the increase in the number of people using computers at work, has added to the rising
incidence of eye strain. Using a computer means that the eye works in a different way, and it has to work harder.
30
( Л И ) ___ Experts have estimated that as many as 30 per cent of people have eye problems as a resuk of working oo
computers.
' Office workers suffer from additional problems because of central heating and air conditioning. (/445) One
recommended way of combating this problem is to close the eves for one minute every hour, to rest them and keep
them moist. There are also many eye exercises that can help reduce the symptoms of eye strain.
Apart from making sure you rest your eyes regularly throughout the day it is also a good idea to increase your
fluid intake. (/446) Most doctors recommend at least a litre and a half a day, depending on the climate you live in,
to prevent dehydration. Your fluid intake can he in the form of plain water or other beverages.
Another factor that can affect how well the eye works is diet. In World War II, for instance, it was rumoured that
British fighter pilots were eating a lot of carrots to improve their ability to see well at night. (/447) There is some
evidence to suggest that the different functions of the eye require the right kinds of nutrients to keep them in good order.
Some studies recently conducted in France have also found that people over the age of sixty who live in cities
are more likely to be short-sighted than people of the same age who live in the country. (/448) People living in the
countryside tend to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables than those who live in the city The more balanced your diet
is, the less likely you are to have eye problems in later life.
There is no doubt that many people will have some problems that affect their eye-sight whatever they do. But
there are many things that you can do either to minimise the problems, or avoid them altogether!

§ 1. If you met Les and Jo in England, you would not be surprised to learn that Les was a mechanic, Jo worked
for social services. That is what they did several years ago before they moved to Spain to work the land.
6 2. Six years ago, Les and Jo moved to the Alpujarras, a mountainous region between Granada and the Costa
del Sol. Reduction of rural population had enabled Les and Jo to buy land fairly cheaply. Les and Jo’s farm is in a green
and fertile (плодородный) valley for below the village. Les and Jo come from Yorkshire and until recently were the
only foreigners living permanently in the valley.
§ 3 .T heir life is hard. ForJo, takingher cheese to market means rising before dawn to saddle the mule to carry
the produce. Sitting outside a bar on market day, Les, who is forty, explains nis belief in a natural cycle of agriculture.
He breaks off to talk in the local dialect to a man to whom he soldfa calf. But even among organic farmers, there can be
few who rely so totally on man and animal power. Les’s method of threshing (молоть) grain, using a mule on a stone
platform, is centuries old. The irrigation system, built hundreds of years ago, which made this one of the most productive
areas of Southern Spain, is virtually unaltered and the mule remains dominant on the small fields. The ancient olive
trees must still be picked by hand, using canes {трость) to knock the fruit onto nets. This is the way that Les, who
used to work as a mechanic on forms in North Yorkshire, prefers to form.
Les and Jo moved from their first smallholding (небольшая ферма) two years ago to get more land and a
house. They say they don’t need a large income. They say they grow most of their own food. They sell their cheese,
made from the milk of one cow. They grow almonds, whicn go into their own confectionary bars. The bars are sold as
a typical local product in the tourist villages. Jo and Les accept their low income because they love the life, but they
understand why local young people will not follow the way of life of their parents.
§ 5. ‘Being seen to work hard is very important if you want to become part of a country community anywhere.
When we came, we hardly noticed, we were so busy, but after a couple ofyears we found we were being introduced as
Hthe foreigners who work hard”.’They spend long hours listening to the ofa people. ‘I think they are glad they can pass
on their knowledge to us,’ said Les. ‘We owe everything we know about forming here to the Spanish people. I don’t
look at it as two communities,’ he admits.
A37. Les and Jo bought their land in an area where
1) many local people had left.
2) other foreigners had already settled.
3) they can see the sea.
ASS. Les’s method of working
1) is the same as most local formers’.
2) is one he strongly believes in.
3) was learned on forms in England.
A39. What do Les and Jo think of tourists?
1) They are a market for their products.
2) They are a source of great profit
3) They are responsive to new products.
A40. Local people think Les and Jo are
1) taking advantage of local knowledge.
2) making a great effort
3) old-fashioned.

■Even though I’m a writer for Outdoor Adventures Magazine, everyone at my office knows in actual fact I’m a
bit wary of anything remotely resembling an ‘outdoor adventure’. That’s why my boss likes to give me these projects.
He thinks I’m the perfect candidate because, like most people, I’m often afraid to try something new. However, upon
my return from an assignment I have usually not only conquered any fears I originally had, but also become quite an
enthusiast of the activity as welll
This month's hair-raising adventure —white-water rafting —was no exception. The minute my boss told me
about it, I felt very nervous. (A43) But now that I’ve completed the assignment, I’m happy to report that I found
it extremely enjoyable.
In order to get some information about white-water rafting, I called Nigel Dossett, who runs Scotland’s foremost
white-water rafting centre in Perth. The first thing he told me was that not all rafting trips'are the same. (4 4 4 )___
It’s important for the public to be aware of this before booking a trip, in order to determine how hard or easy a rafting
course should be. The goal is to spend more time m the raft than in the water, so it’s best to take it easy the first time out.
Upon my arrival at Nigel's Extreme Raft World Centre, I saw that there were several dozen people there for the
day's rafting activities. (A45)___ We were then given a safety briefing about some of the dangers to watch out for, such
as boulders, fallen trees, sharp underwater rocks, waves and anything else that could block a raft’s forward movement.
We were put into groups of six, plus a guide, based on skill and level of experience. (4 4 6 ) I put on my
wetsuit, lifejacket and crash helmet and climbed aboard, hoping he was right. With the first few strokes of the paddle,
I could feel excitement begin to replace my fear. The river caught us in a gentle flowing motion, rocking and pulling
us smoothly towards the first rapid.
Suddenly our guide shouted ‘Forward paddle!’ and everyone started paddling excitedly. We steerod around
boulders as huge waves crashed over us, soaking the entire boat. (447)___ It was remarkable how much team spirit
had sprung lip immediately between the members of my boat
We eventually stopped for lunch at a lovely spot on the river under a huge oak tree. (448);___ It was satisfying
to see that such an exciting and fun sport could be enjoyed by such a wide variety of people.
My trip was much better than I had expected, and the rushing river and the thrill of the ride were all amazing.

experience.
4) The thought of battling raging river rapids in a flimsy rubber boat was almost enough to make me call in sick.

2) Although we were drenched, everyone was laughing and yelling as we worked together to drive the raft forward.

4) I was in a medium difficulty group, and our guide assured us that the ride would be lots of fun without being
too dangerous.

§ 1. Hezy Shoshani remembers Christmas 2001 in Eritrea with extraordinary clarity The day dawned warm, dry
and windless. Before long the temperature had increased to 33 °C in the shade. From the hill where he had taken up
position there was an almost perfect view —of the dried-out, sandy bed of the Gash River, of the palm trees dotting
the flood plains on either side and finally, hidden by palm leaves, of the top half of an elephant eating plants. 'For a
few minutes, we all just stood there, staring,’ he recalls. ‘Then I remember thinking, this is for real, it isn t a dream.’
They realised there were two elephants eating among the palms and more, it seemed, deeper in the forest Local
guides had told them that they usually emerged in the afternoon, around 4pm, to drink from a waterhole. Hezy and
his students waited and, more or less on time, the herd appeared, about 500 metres away.
§ 2. As the researchers rushed to document the nerd before it retreated back among the palm trees, chaos
threatened. Hezy, his feet sinking into the sand of the river-bed as he tried to keep up with his students, had to shout
at them to stop. ‘We wanted to get as close as possible to the elephants without disturbing them,’ he said, ‘yet to be
able to count and photograph them.’ He counted them twice, then started taking pictures as fast as he could. The joy
everyone felt after it was over cannot be put into words.
§3. What Hezy and his students documented on 25th December 2001 was a remarkable story of contemporary
African conservation —the survival of one of the continent’s most northerly herds of elephants. Close to 30 were
sighted that day, all in apparently goodhealth. Expeditionscarried out since then to confirm those observations suggest
a national population of 100. In a region noted for drought, famine and climatic extremes and torn by a 30-year civil
war, the findings were almost unbelievable.
§ 4. In January this year another expedition observed some fascinating behavior of elephants. At one watering-
hole, the elephants of all ages formed up in orderly queues to drink, each queue kept in line by an adult, usually mate,
‘perfect’. Ana olive baboons (павианы (обезьяны)), a troop of which had been observed on Christmas Day 2001, figured
repeatedly in sightings. The two species, Hezy suggests, nave formed a close relationship: the baboons drink from the
water wells dugby the elephants and the elephants use the baboons as a tree-top early-warning system.
For Henzy, whose 25-year career as a researcher has been spent mainly in museums and laboratories,' following
elephants in the wild is a ‘dream come true’.
A37. What had the local guides told Hezy about the elephants?
11 There were a lot more in the forest
2j They would not come close to people.
3) They had regular habits. a
A38. Why did Hezy want his students to stop?
1) so they didn’t frighten the elephants
2) because he couldn't go as quickly as them .
3) to help pull him out of the sinking sands
A39. What does the writer suggest is interesting about.the elephants’ drinking habits?
1) Some of the elephants seem to have a role-keeping order.
2) The other elephants seem to be afraid of the stronger males.
3) They let the very young and very old drink first.
A40. How do the baboons help the elephants?
1) They help them dig their watering-holes.
2) They let them know if danger is approaching.
3) Their noise frightens other animals away.

‘I was a dreamer as a child and I've always been drawn to stories of adventurers. I was never much of a team
player, which probably accounts for the feet that I’m now a solo explorer.’So says Hannah McKeand, the current World
record holder for a solo, unsupported trek to the South Pole.
Hannah’s urge to explore began in 2001, when she joined an expedition into the Western Desert. (A43) _
The trip was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but no sooner had she returned to the UK than she found
herself yearning (стремление) for more.
Still wanting to travel, Hannah quit herjob as a marketing director and committed herself to full-time exploration.
In the first twelve months, she headed back to the Western Desert and then on to the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan.
38
(Л44) She accomplished this trip with the support of a five-member team in 56 clays. Next on her list was a world
yacht race that took her sailing halfway around the globe.
Hannah returned to the South Pole in one of her most ambitious projects ever. (A45) ^ She received no
outside assistance or re-supply throughout her time on the ice, meaning that she had to carry all of her food, fuel and
equipment by herself for the entire time she was there.
Hannah ended up pulling a sledge weighing up to lOfrkg for dose to twelve hours a day. (446)___ She survived
■on a diet of chocolate, fudge, halva, dried fruit and nuts, energy bars and dried meats and still managed to lose 19 kilos.
‘I didn't miss normal food, because I had lost my appetite,’joked Hannah, when asked about the physical stress.
She had also decided to complete the journey solo, meaning that in times of hardship, she had no team-mates to
provide either emotional or physical support. (Л47) __ Hannah reflects, ‘1 thought it was going to be really hard,
because I’m naturally a social person, but it turned outtEe loneliness wasn’t an issue. I was so busy taking care of my
energy levels and body temperature that the days just flew by.'
To prevent loneliness and to keep in contact with the outside world, Hannah carried a variety of technological
devices. (A48) These allowed her to speak to family, friends and the media whilst on the ice. She was also able to
connect them to her computer, allowing her to send and receive regular emails and update her website.
As with m'any an adventurer, Hannah always has one eye on the future. She confides, ‘The biggest lesson I have
learnt so for is that with a little patience, you can get anywhere.’

1) She completed а 1,110-kilometre marathon across the Antarctic ice, beating the previous world record by

2) It is a long enough period that sometimes you can’t see the end but you just have to be resilient and keep
pushing on.
3) They explored the valleys and sandy landscape of this vast part of Egypt, looking for ‘rock art’.
4) After fully exploring these two incredible places, Hannah ended the year with her first expedition to the
South Pole.

1) As well as a beacon, which constantly transmitted her location via satellite, she also carried two satellite

2) The potential psychological impact of such isolation is difficult to imagine.

4) Dragging this load over endless miles of snow and ice caused her to burn between 6,000 and 8,000 calories a day.

§ i . When we are young, sometimes the hardest thing about feelings is actually sharing them with others, though,
I realise now, it is certainty worth making the effort to do so. Sharing with others helps us to share the load, as it were.
§ 2. It was not until much later, looking hack over my childhood, that I realised that, the first, step in sharing was
to identify what feelings I actually had! Making a list of them seemed to help. My problem was that I had not revised
that some fears are quite acceptable and even nelpful at times, while others can actually get in the way of enjoying ■
everyday things such as learning, playing with a friend or experiencing for the first time the change from primary to
secondary school. This is when Гrealty should have had a chat with my parents instead of holding it all inside, as they
would have been able to lessen fttv anxiety about moving up a level. There were times when confronting a new situation
would also be accompanied by aneadacne, a stomach ache or dizziness.
§ 3 .1 recall a small group of us feeling uncomfortable at the idea of meeting new teachers or moving up to the
‘big* school. That kind of discomfort at such an age is natural when faced with something new. Better late than never,
1 realised that being shv is not such a bad thing. Nobody actually intends to be like that, it just happens naturally.
I understood quite quickly that the key to getting over shyness is just to be yourself. No matter the age, it’s healthy
to get things off your chest! In fact, I quickly found that some of my friends had the same feelings and became quite
happy to share their secrets. Sometimes, just inviting a shy child to join in a game a couple of times helped them to
get over their feelings of shyness,
§ 4, There were other times when I felt sad about leaving primary school, but then again, it was one of the many
normal emotions or moods we have all experienced during that period of change. Unhappiness was the emotion I felt
when I had to say goodbye to certain dear friends. It made me feel like crying, though even crying made me feel better
as tears slowly washed away the negative emotions. When the sadness started to disappear, it felt as if a heavy weight
had been lifted from my shoulders. - - , ■
§ 5 .1now realise at the tender age of twenty-eight that, even though there might sometimes seem to be no reason
to look on the bright side of life, for every bad there is a good. Also, having friends who think optimistically can help
you get on your feet again and move forward onto a more positive path.
437. What do youngsters find most difficult to do?
14 make an effort
2) accept help from others
3) tell others how they feel
438. What the writer finally realised about fears is that
1) they can happen every day.
2) some are more helpful than others.
3) it’s better to hold them inside.
A39. According to the writer, what is the best way to handle shyness?
14 to be your usual self
24 to remise that age matters

Each day in Los Angeles, from posh hotels to trendy nightclubs, from the back gates of television studios to
peaceful restaurants, celebrities are being harassed for their signatures. A bold breed of entrepreneur has emerged in
Hollywood: the professional autograph hunter. Tn the old days, autograph seekers were very nice and friendly, and true
collectors,’ said Pat Kingsley, whose public relations firm represents some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
In Hollywood today, autograph seeking has turned into a serious business. The fact is that autographs of famous
stars can command hundreds of dollars on the open market. (A43) Because they view it as a business and part of
their livelihood, these autograph hunters can become very hostile if celebrities refuse to accommodate them.
Autograph hunters defend themselves by arguing that the only reason some celebrities don’t want to sign
autographs is because they don't make any money from the sale of their own signatures. (A44) Many autograph
42
hunters like Kraus agree that they shouldn't be criticised for their methods of making money, even if it is at the expense
of the stars.
The value of celebrity autographs varies depending on whose they are and how often the celebrity has provided
their signature. (445) ^ Another difficult person to get autographs from is Harrison Ford. It is said that even people
working on a movie with him cannot get his autograph.
While the demand for celebrity signatures is high, real collectors disapprove of autograph hunters and their
methods. (446)___ These hunters will stake out stars at hotels, restaurants and nightclubs and then, if the stars refuse
to sign, chase their car until they pull over or escape in traffic.
There are many tales about some autograph hunters and the tricks they get up to. (447)___He cruises Hollywood
in a big black Cadillac, his trunk filled with hundreds of celebrity photos, arranged alphabetically so he can have the
right one on hand at a moment’s notice. Alfie claims that a large number of very famous stars are courteous and very
nice with him and fans in general.
Like most autographhunters, Pettit has his own system for finding stars and getting his hands on their autographs.
(448) Pettit is also a master of disguise. He can look like a college student or dress up as a woman if he has to.
Once, after getting Julia Roberts to sign a photo during the filming of one of her movies, Pettit changed his disguise,
went back and got three more signatures from her.
Actors and singers are not the only celebrities that are approached by autograph hunters —the list has grown
to include politicians.

1) Joe Kraus, owner of Celebrity Galleries in Stockton, California, says ‘the artist has made money off the public,
so the public, in some ways, is making money off the artist'
2) Autograph seekers have books that contain six or eight pictures to be signed by just one actor.
