THE COOLING OCEANS
The upper layers of Earth's oceans have cooled (0. signify) ................. over the past two
years, even though the planet as a whole is warming up. While this may just be part of the
natural (1. vary) ................................. of oceans, climatologists are still confounded by the
massive unaccountable loss of heat. Scientists have been (2. increase) ............... concerned by
rising sea temperatures over the last 50 years but these new (3. find) ................................. tell a
different story. Generally speaking, the (4. absorb) ............................. of heat by the oceans
reduces atmospheric warming. Now (5. measure) ................ taken by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration have put a wrinkle in the trend. The researchers used data from
3000 floating buoys which monitor the oceans (6. world) .................................. They found that
the oceans dropped in temperature by an (7. believe) .................. 0.02 degrees centigrade between
2011 and 2013. Now, that may not seem like much, but trying to account for the missing energy
is proving to be enormously (8. problem) ............... lt is possible that volcanic eruptions are one
main cause of the phenomenon, but no firm answers have yet been provided.

JOB HUMOUR: How to get away with doing nothing at work
Avoiding work is fast becoming an art form. Looking busy and achieving nothing takes skill and
(0. prepare) ........................... So if you've ever been caught out by your boss, here's an (9. fail)
........................... way to make sure it doesn't happen again. The secret to spending time doing
nothing, is to be able to lie with (10. convince) ........................... and the kind of (11. enthuse)
........................... that suggests that nothing would give you more (12. please) ...........................
than to explain what you are doing in the utmost detail. Now, this is the clever bit. Be sure that
your explanation is completely (13. comprehend) ........................... by using as much technical
jargon as you can until your questioner runs off in either boredom or total (14. confuse)
........................... You need to have in your mind an (15. end) ........................... list of jobs that just
have to be done today, but of course, in reality, don't actually exist. Then, if you think that your
boss is getting (16. suspect) ........................... change your activity to another equally time-
wasting one.

THE SILK ROUTE
Follow in the (0. feet) ................................. of the pioneering traders to experience one of the
world's most (17. spectacle) ................................. overland journeys. This route goes through
harsh deserts and up into mountainous lands. A greater variety of landscapes would be difficult
to find. Although the silk road is strictly a land-based route, it is worth making an (18. expect)
................................. in Cappadocia as this area is firmly established as one of the prime hot-air
balloon destinations in the world because of its (19. favour) ................. wind conditions and
agreeable geography. The bird's eye views of the valleys are (20. forget) ................... and the skill
of the balloonists is breathtaking. In theory you can now travel the entire silk route by train but
in (21. real) ................. few foreign visitors use trains outside of China because they are slow and
(22. rely) ..................
Some intrepid travellers take the brave decision to do the route by cycling. One advantage of this
is that you can stop whenever you like and enjoy your surroundings. There are however,
drawbacks to cycling, not least the fact that it can be very (23. comfort) ................. on some of the
rough tracks and bumpy roads! Bizarre as it may seem, it is actually (24. legal) ................. to
have more than one person on a bike in China, so think twice before deciding to ride a tandem
with a friend!
Example: 0. invitations
MODERN MANNERS
Dress down Fridays, emailed (0. invite) ................................ and texting your boss - British
society is (25. appear) ................................ loosening up and the famous British etiquette is fast
eroding. Jeans are (26. accept) ................................ in many smart restaurants and casual buffets

might, for some, be a sign of national liberation, but for others, it could be a cause of anxiety. It
might be that it is an (28. indicate) ................................ that the stiff-upper-lip Brits are finally
responding to fast-forward, modern, multi-cultural life by becoming less inhibited.
However, while we are social creatures, we are also (29. ritual) ................................ Over the
years we have evolved certain social codes for our (30. interact) ................................ with others.
We create little boxes around ourselves to make us feel secure. But for some, this new era is one
of despair where standards of presentation have slipped and common (31. courteous)
................................ is fast disappearing. People who hold this belief try to rationalise their
resistance by saying it amounts to (32. lazy) ................................, ignorance or loss of respect.

ODE TO THE OCEAN
Of all our planet's (0. geography) ............................... features, the ocean is probably the
most schizophrenic. In one moment it can be a source of (1. serene) ............................... and
comfort, in the next a capricious and threatening force that unleashes a barrage of unimaginable
power onto coastlines. It is this (2. predict) ............................... that attracts photographer Philip
Plisson to the world's waters, prompting him to live his life travelling the seas. He has produced
a book, The Sea, and has now (3. wide) ............................... his lens to provide more global focus
in The Ocean. In nearly 200 images taken in more than 50 countries, the book celebrates
Plisson's (4. fascinate) ............................... for the variety and beauty of the sea. He honours the
sea through his lens and tries to raise (5. aware) ............................... of its importance to the
survival of the planet. 60% of the world's population lives on a (6. coast) ............................... strip
that is 60km wide. By 2025, 75% will be living on the same strip, but it will be 75% of 8 billion
instead of the present 6 billion. Images of extravagant reclamation projects like 'The Palm' and
'The World' in Dubai point towards man's attempts to defy nature and expand the coastline for
further (7. urban) ................................ Through Plisson's extraordinary photographs, it is the
portrayal of the ocean's simultaneous power and (8. fragile) ............................... that makes this
book so enthralling.

A DAY OUT TO ROSSLYN CHAPEL
If you have a spare afternoon why not take the kids to visit the (0. remark) ................... Rosslyn
Chapel? This must surely be one of Britain's most (9. ordinary) .................... buildings. If you
were shown pictures of it without any clues to its (10. locate) ............................., you might guess
it to be somewhere like Moldavia or Transylvania. In fact, it is just outside Edinburgh. The
chapel and the neighbouring village of Rosslyn are both quite stunning; in fact, the whole area is
generally very (11. picture) .................................. Nearly the entire surface of the chapel's
stonework is carved with flowers or stars and another (12. idiosyncracy) ................. feature of the
chapel is that although most of the design of the chapel is Gothic, the aisles are similar to
architecture found in Babylon or Egypt. The chapel's 15th-century builder, St Clair Prince of
Orkney, believed that he was (13. essential) ..................... buying his way into heaven by creating
such an exquisite chapel. He was famous for his (14. perfect) ........................ but this in itself
created problems. Because everything had to be exactly as he dreamed it should be it was (15.
real) ....................... of him to expect the work to be finished in his lifetime. The chapel is now

considered to be a local treasure and a charitable trust was set up in 1996 to oversee and fund its

WHY YOU CAN'T SAY NO TO CERTAIN FOODS
Are you a chocoholic or a fast food addict? Don't blame yourself - certain foods can trigger an
eating binge, but there are ways to control the (0. crave) ......................... Even if you're a fairly
disciplined eater, there are sure to be foods you'll have no (17. resist) ......................... to. For
some it's a bar of chocolate, for others a burger. You probably think there's no one to blame but
your weak-willed self. But the reassuring truth is that when it comes to controlling your junk
food intake, the odds are heavily stacked against you. High-fat, high-sugar foods can act like an
(18. addict) ......................... drug, making us crave even more of the same. In the States, where
(19. obese) ......................... rates are reaching epidemic proportions, there's even a group called
Junk Food Anonymous, which aims to help people recover from their (20. depend)
......................... on synthetic or refined food. Fat is often added to food to make it more palatable
so it's a good way of making (21. expense) ........................., bland food seem tastier. Another
reason certain foods are so (22. resist) ......................... is that they have a very real effect on our
mood, making us feel more relaxed. Our eating habits develop when we are young and as we
move into adulthood the chocolate that we were rewarded with as a young child becomes a guilty
(23. indulge) .......................... We might feel we've earned the right to treat ourselves after a hard
day at work, for example. Past (24. associate) ......................... can reinforce bad eating habits
that are difficult to break free from.

MAN’S GREATEST INVENTION
The wheel might seem to be the most simple invention, but it did not occur to every (0. civil)
.......................... to invent one and it surely has to be the greatest invention. Look around - the
wheel is everywhere in our modern world. It's (25. satisfy) .......................... simple, aesthetically
perfect and arguably the most useful thing in the world. What great moment of (26. reveal)
.......................... happened to bring us this gift? it should really have been invented much earlier
than it was. If you consider the (27. end) .......................... opportunities man had to witness fallen
trees rolling downhill, man was (28. remark) .......................... slow at catching on to the potential
of roundness and gravity. The Mayas, the Aztecs and the lncas all achieved great things without
the wheel. They must have just run a lot and were undoubtedly all the healthier for it. Sledges,
usually pulled by humans, (29. trace) .......................... to the Stone Age, were quite enough for
them. The wheel came later in human (30. develop) .......................... than most of us think. Once
it did arrive there were many (31. refine) .......................... made to it as man realised that the
possibilities of the wheel were vast and this (32. aware) .......................... spurred him on to
greater things.

Example: 0. activism
Two broad themes run in bicycle (0. active) ..........................: one more overtly political with
roots in the (1. environment) ............... movement; the other drawing on the traditions of the
established bicycle lobby. Such groups promote the bicycle as a (2. real) ............... mode of
transport and emphasize the potential for energy and resource conservation and health benefits
gained from cycling versus automobile use. Due to (3. precede) ............... interest in cycling,
many cities also have community bicycle programs that promote cycling, (4. particular) ...............
as a means of inner-city transport.
Controversially, some bicycle activists seek the construction of segregated cycle facilities
for journeys of all lengths. Other activists, (5. special) ............... those from the more established
tradition, view the safety, (6. practical) ..............., and intent of many segregated cycle facilities
with suspicion. In some cases this (7. oppose) ............... has a more ideological basis: some
members of the Vehicular Cycling movement oppose segregated public facilities, such as on-
street bike lanes, on principle. Some groups offer training courses to help cyclists integrate
themselves with other traffic. This is part of the (8. go) ............... cycle path debate.
Example: 0. protection
SMOKING BAN
The major rationale cited for smoking bans is the (0. protect) ............................. of workers,
in particular, from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke, which include an increased risk of
heart disease, cancer, emphysema and other chronic and acute diseases. Laws implementing
bans on indoor smoking have been introduced by many countries in (9. vary) .............................
forms over the years, with legislators citing scientific evidence that shows tobacco smoking is
often (10. harm) ............................. to the smokers themselves and to those inhaling second-hand
smoke.
Such laws may reduce health care costs in the short term but do not account for the
increased health care cost of an ever ageing population. However, consequent improvements in
worker productivity and lower overall labour costs make the "smoke-free" community more (11.
attract) ............................. for bringing new jobs into the area and keeping current jobs and
employers there. In Indiana, USA, for example, the state's economic development agency wrote
into its plan for (12. accelerate) ............................. of economic growth that it encourages cities
and towns to adopt local smoke-free workplace laws as a means of promoting job growth in
Page 7 of 66
communities. (13. add) ............................. rationales for smoking restrictions include: reduced
risk of fire in areas with (14. explode) ............................. hazards or where (15. flame)
............................. materials are handled and cleanliness in places where food or
pharmaceuticals, semiconductors or precision instruments and machinery are produced. Also,
the cancellation of many previously (16. enjoy ............................. events due to rising insurance
costs.
Example: 0. founder
FREUD AND DREAMS
Sigmund Freud is regarded as the (0. found) …………………... of psychoanalysis. His work
has been (17. influence) …………………... in many areas but he is perhaps best known for
having drawn our (18. attend) …………………... to dreams, which he believed were clues to inner
conflicts. The fact that a dream is (19. essential) …………………... a disguised expression of what
is happening in the unconscious mind means that it is difficult for the dreamer to understand its
(20. signify) …………………... Freud believed that the sleeping mind resorted to a whole range of
unconscious wishes in forms which would prevent the dreamer from having any (21. aware)
…………………... of their true nature. In Freud's view, interpreting the meaning of the dream
required a psychoanalyst with an expert (22. know) …………………... of how dreams disguise
desires. The psychoanalyst's lack of personal (23. involve) …………………... in the dream would
enable him to see the dream objectively.
According to Freud, dreams use a (24. mystery) …………………... symbolic language quite
different from that of waking life, but the fact is there is no hard (25. evident) …………………...
for believing that dreams really do reflect our unconscious wishes. Nevertheless, Freud (26.
doubt) …………………... made a major contribution to twentieth-century thought and many
useful insights into psychological processes have been gained through his work.

THE MEDIA COMMENTATOR
A live broadcast of any public event, such as a space (0. fly) …………… or sporting
occasion, is almost (1. variable) …………… accompanied by the thoughts of a commentator. This
may be on television, along with the relevant pictures, or (2. alternate) …………… on radio. The
technique involved differs between the two media, with radio broadcasters needing to be more
explicit and (3. describe) …………… because of the (4. absent) …………… of visual information.
TV commentators do not need to paint a picture for their audience; instead their various (5.
observe) …………… should add to the images that are already there. There will sometimes be
silences and pauses in TV commentary, although these are becoming increasingly rare. Both
types of commentator should try to be informative, but should avoid sounding (6. opinion)
……………
In sports commentary, (7. fair) …………… and impartiality to both sides is vital, but
spontaneity and (8. enthuse) …………… are valued by those watching or listening. Sports
commentators usually broadcast live in an essentially unscripted way, although they may refer
to previously prepared materials such as sports statistics. Because of the (9. predict) ……………
nature of live events, thorough preparation in advance is vital. The internet has helped
enormously with this aspect of the job. Anyone interested in becoming a commentator should
have excellent organisational skills, the willingness to work (10. regular) …………… hours and a
strong voice.

VOLUNTEER PROJECT IN LESOTHO
Lesotho is a small (0. depend) …………… nation in the middle of southern Africa. The (11. king)
…………… of Lesotho lies more than 1,000 metres above sea level. With its wild (12. spoil)
…………… landscapes, it is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor (13. enthuse) ……………,
and also offers the opportunity for visitors to gain (14. practice) …………… experience of African
culture. This is particularly true in the rural areas, where the distinctive and (15. colour)
…………… traditions of the country are still very much alive.
Volunteers are now needed for two related projects for a community based organisation in
the Maletsunyane gorge, a remote and spectacular region in the highlands of Lesotho. One
project will involve improving the (16. hazard) …………… track used by both visitors and locals
Page 10 of 66
to reach the base of a waterfall in the gorge. For the second project, volunteers are needed to (17.
take) …………… a biodiversity survey of the region. (18. fortunate) ……………, much of this area
is suffering from overgrazing, hunting and other activities which threaten the (19. sustain)
…………… of the land.
Volunteers will be accommodated in shared rooms. There is a communal kitchen, and also a
chance to experience the local restaurants. Special dietary (20. require) …………… can be
provided for if advance notice is given.

HOW MUSIC WAS WRITTEN DOWN
The familiar (0. west) …………… system of notation - writing down music using symbols -
has taken thousands of years to develop. In ancient times, elaborate music was in (21. exist)
……………, even though it was never written down. Eventually, however, (22. civilise)
…………… felt the need to record their music, and so the search began for a system of symbols
that could (23. rely) …………… denote the exact pitch of the note to be sung or played, and at the
same time tell the (24. perform) …………… how long that note should be held.
The ancient Greeks and Romans did this by using their alphabetical letters in a (25. vary)
…………… of ways, but the slow development of notation could not keep pace with (26. increase)
…………… complex musical developments. The 13th century saw the introduction of colours to
represent more complex note values. With the invention of printing in the 15th century, the
writing of notes was (27. standard) …………… to black and white and the number of lines
became fixed at five. By the middle of the 18th century, musical notation had settled down to its
modern usage.
The main (28. add) …………… to this system has been the adoption of expression marks,
which multiplied (29. signify) …………… in the 19th century. These convey the composer's
intentions as regards speed, (30. intense) …………… and so on, to the player or singer.

SNOW-KITTING: AN ALTERNATIVE FORM OF SKIING
Skiing is one of the most (0. straight) …………… forms of exercise there is. It offers the
participant, whether a novice or an old hand at the sport, a great deal of excitement and (1.
please) …………… plus lots of fresh air. But skiing does have its various (2. advantage)
…………… When it comes to guaranteeing a profitable day's downhill skiing, there are two
essential ingredients. You need hills, or (3. prefer) …………… mountains, in order to get the
most out of this (4. pursue) …………… then you need a fairly generous covering of snow. (5.
fortunate) ……………, there are usually snow machines to supplement any natural (6. deficient)
…………… in the supply of this second (7. require) ……………, and help may now be at hand too
for those lacking in the first, through the sport of snow-kiting.
Snow-kiting is a wintry offshoot of kite-surfing, an established watersport. By harnessing
their skis to an inflated kite, snow-kiters can move at speed across even the very flattest of
landscapes. All they need is a (8. reason) …………… wind, then they can enjoy all the
exhilaration of a fast downhill ski run. In fact, partly because of (9. hazard) …………… objects

A MEXICAN COOKERY COURSE
On holiday last year my two travelling (0. company) …………… and I joined a day's cookery
course in a Mexican restaurant. There were eight (11. participate) …………… all keen to learn
the secrets of the nation's cuisine. The students ranged from people who already had some (12.
expert) …………… in the kitchen, to totally (13. skill) …………… people like myself.
Our teacher, Llana Cabrera, started with a short talk, then handed out some notos giving (14.
explain) …………… of terms we'd be coming across. Soon we were trying out a range of exotic
ingredients, with (15. surprise) …………… good results. Cabrera started giving cookery lessons
five years ago, and has become quite a (16. celebrate) ……………, with long waiting lists for her
courses. And because of her extensive knowledge of almost forgotten regional dishes she is also a
regular (17. contribute) …………… to cookery programmes on national television.
In the afternoon I joined the salsa-making team, with rather (18. disaster) …………… results.
My colleagues complained that my food was so (19. pain) …………… hot it made their mouth
water. Their own efforts turned out (20. consider) …………… better than mine. The communal

THOR HEYERDAHL AND THE KON-TIKI EXPEDITION
The Norwegian explorer and (0. archaeology) ……………, Thor Heyerdahl, accomplished
many things during his life but his name has become (21. separable) ……………linked with the
Kon-Tikivoyage. In 1937, while doing research in the western Pacific, Heyerdahl became (22.
increase) ……………interested in how the Polynesian Islands had become populated. He made
the observation that ocean currents flowed across the Pacific from east to west. Since there were
cultural (23. similar) ……………to be found on either side of this ocean, he was convinced that
South Americans had sailed westwards to populate these islands before the eleventh century.
The (24. centre) ……………argument against Heyerdahl's theory was lack of evidence
that, at that time, boats existed with the (25. capable) ……………to cross such an (26. expand)
……………of ocean. So a determined Heyerdahl built a primitive raft of balsa wood, named it
Kon-Tiki, and on April 28th, 1947, left Peru with a crew of five. Moved along by the ocean
currents, the fragile raft Kon-Tiki sailed a steady 70 kilometres a day.
Despite heavy storms, failure never crossed the crew's minds. After 97 days, they caught
(27. see) ……………of one of the islands. However, due to unusually high winds they could not
land and realising that a roof presented an (28. avoid) ……………obstacle, they prepared for the
inevitable (29. collide) ……………Amazingly, they all survived the crash, and Heyerdahl had his

conditions, the apparent (5. proximate) ………… of the lunar disc to familiar terrestrial objects

NURSERY
The nursery industry is literally a growing industry. It produces billions of plants every

a need for nurseries. Throughout the world, nurseries come in all types and sizes. Many are
small family businesses, sometimes just a small hobby business to (10. supply) ………… the
family's normal source of income. At the other end of the scale are large (11. merchant) …………
enterprises that employ dozens of people and grow millions of plants. No matter what size, a
nursery always needs good management if it is to be (12. finance) ………… viable. This aims to
