Pregunta 90
Walking Soccer
Globally, more people play soccer than any other sport, and more people watch the World
Cup on TV than the Olympic Games. Every weekend, thousands of teams meet in different
countries to compete against each other. That includes famous teams such as Real
Madrid and Manchester United, and local teams of people playing competitively or just for
fun. From an early age, schoolchildren play soccer in their physical education classes and
compete against teams from other schools.
Now, a new type of soccer is growing in popularity. It’s called “walking soccer.” Most soccer
players retire from competitive games in their 30s, but walking soccer is for people over
50. It’s a great way to keep fit and it can help older people live longer. Doctors also say it’s
good for the mind. Most walking soccer matches are informal and social. Most of the rules
are the same as for normal soccer, but everything is much slower. Players have to walk
with the ball—they can’t run. Also, players have to keep one foot on the ground at all times,
so they can’t jump.
Not surprisingly, walking soccer doesn’t get many spectators because it is very slow. But
more and more people like playing it. For example, in the United Kingdom, there were
around 100 teams two years ago. Now there are over 800, with regular competitions in
different parts of the country every year.
What is true about “walking soccer”?
a. It is a good kind of exercise for older people.


b. It has many different rules from normal soccer.
c. It began as a game in children’s physical education classes

It is a good kind of exercise for older people.

Pregunta 95
London is famous as a historic city with lots of interesting places to visit. It’s also famous
for difficult roads. Tourists and visitors to London quickly become lost in the old streets—
even with a map on their phone. It’s much easier to catch a taxi. That’s because taxi drivers
in London have memorized the whole city.
Since 1865, trainee London taxi drivers have studied for a test called “The Knowledge.”
They have learned the name of every street, the location of every police station, and the
fastest route to every theater. For 150 years, they have had to pass this test to become a
taxi driver.
Learning “The Knowledge” can take over two years. When they think they are ready, taxi
drivers take the test. They answer questions such as “What’s the fastest route from
Buckingham Palace to London Zoo?” They can’t use a map. They can only use the map
inside their head.
Why do London taxi drivers memorize all the streets of London?
a. They like to please tourists with their knowledge.
b. It is faster than using a map to get around London.
c. It is necessary to become a taxi driver in London.

Lost Ship Discovered

In 1533, a Portuguese ship traveled from Portugal to India with lots of gold and diamonds.
But at the southern part of Africa, the weather was bad and the ship never arrived. It sank
and the crew died.
Five hundred years later, a worker in Namibia discovered a small piece of metal in the
Orange River. It was money. Later, archaeologists pulled more gold coins from the river.
There were also parts of a ship. It was the old Portuguese ship, so the archaeologists
learned more about people’s lives five hundred years ago.
What happened to the ship?
a. All of the people on the ship got sick.
b. It got lost and reached a new destination.

Pregunta 63
The internet of things

Nowadays, we are all used to the internet in our daily lives. We use it to get information,
watch videos, and communicate with friends. But some products are also designed to
connect with us through the internet, and in the future, the objects in our homes will do this
more and more.
The basic idea behind “the internet of things” is that it lets humans “talk” to their devices.
For example, there are fridges that can text you if you don’t have any milk. You can also use your cell phone to control
the heating in your house via the internet. So if it’s cold, you can switch the heating on when you are going home from
work or school. In the workplace, some manufacturing companies are using the internet of things to order more tools
and machines when they need them. And more of us are wearing internet-connected devices around our wrists to
check our health and measure our physical exercise.
Some people think the internet of things is bad for us because all our devices collect lots of personal data about us.
Companies learn more about their customers from this. And your electronics know when you are at home and when
you are out, which someone online could also find out. So does this pose a problem for personal security? There are
still lots more unanswered questions like this about the internet of things.
What is the article mainly about?
a. How people can communicate with the internet
b. How the internet can connect with different devices


c. Why it is not good to have too many internet devices
Respuesta correcta
How the internet can connect with different devices

Alex Sheshunoff is a writer, and Sarah Kalish was a lawyer. Both had good jobs and an
apartment in Iowa City. However, one day they decided to leave it all behind and build a
new home for themselves. Most people would be happy to look locally, but Alex and Sarah
planned to find a place in paradise to create their new home.
For Alex, it was fairly easy to choose an island with everything he wanted. As a scuba diver,
Alex first visited the Palau group of islands years ago. He continued to go back from time
to time, so this seemed like a good choice. The islands are about 7,500 kilometers
(4,660 miles) west of Hawaii and are difficult to reach. They have green forests with
interesting wildlife and are surrounded by a blue ocean full of colorful fish.
In the end, Alex and Sarah chose one island in particular—Angaur. Angaur is thirteen
kilometers (8 miles) around, with a population of about 150 people. Before Alex and Sarah
could start building a house, they had to get permission from the head of the island—an 83-
year-old woman. She was worried they intended to develop the area for other tourists, but
Alex explained that they just wanted to build a simple house. They agreed on the rent of
$100 a month for twenty years. The head of the island was happy. She said, “Angaur
welcomes you.”
What is true about Angaur?
a. It wants to attract more tourists.
b. It is an expensive place to live in.

An invention that has saved millions of lives

In recent history, there have been some amazing inventions that have changed our lives.
The airplane has made international travel faster and easier. The computer can store the
contents of a library. And you probably know the names of some famous inventors like
Henry Ford or Steve Jobs. But for every famous invention and inventor, there are many
everyday objects that we don’t notice and we don’t know who invented them.
Take the inventor who invented the modernday car seat belt. Nils Bohlin’s invention has
saved millions of lives. In 1959, Bohlin was an engineer who was working for the car
manufacturer Volvo. There were other types of seat belts, but Bohlin developed the first
one that went across the chest and across the legs, and then joined at the same place.
Amazingly, this was an idea that no one had tried before.
Volvo soon started selling the new seat belt in the countries where it had the most
customers. At that time, and probably still today, the biggest market was the US. However,
it took a long time for the invention to become popular there. Even in cars that had the
invention, many drivers didn’t use it. People enjoyed driving without a seat belt. It was
difficult to change their habits, even though more people survived a car crash when they
wore Bohlin’s seat belt. Over the years, more and more governments made laws that forced
drivers to wear the seat belt. Today, Nils Bohlin’s simple invention still saves thousands of
lives every year.
What is NOT true about Nils Bohlin?
a. His idea has saved many lives
b. He worked for an automobile company.
c. He invented the first seat belt

Pregunta 46
An invention that has saved millions of lives

In recent history, there have been some amazing inventions that have changed our lives.
The airplane has made international travel faster and easier. The computer can store the
contents of a library. And you probably know the names of some famous inventors like
Henry Ford or Steve Jobs. But for every famous invention and inventor, there are many
everyday objects that we don’t notice and we don’t know who invented them.
Take the inventor who invented the modernday car seat belt. Nils Bohlin’s invention has
saved millions of lives. In 1959, Bohlin was an engineer who was working for the car
manufacturer Volvo. There were other types of seat belts, but Bohlin developed the first
one that went across the chest and across the legs, and then joined at the same place.
Amazingly, this was an idea that no one had tried before.
Volvo soon started selling the new seat belt in the countries where it had the most
customers. At that time, and probably still today, the biggest market was the US. However,
it took a long time for the invention to become popular there. Even in cars that had the
invention, many drivers didn’t use it. People enjoyed driving without a seat belt. It was
difficult to change their habits, even though more people survived a car crash when they
wore Bohlin’s seat belt. Over the years, more and more governments made laws that forced
drivers to wear the seat belt. Today, Nils Bohlin’s simple invention still saves thousands of
lives every year.
What is true about Bohlin’s seat belt?
a. Drivers started using it immediately
b. It goes across two different parts of the body


c. It was made from a new type of material.
Respuesta correcta

It goes across two different parts of the body

The internet of things

Nowadays, we are all used to the internet in our daily lives. We use it to get information,
watch videos, and communicate with friends. But some products are also designed to
connect with us through the internet, and in the future, the objects in our homes will do this
more and more.
The basic idea behind “the internet of things” is that it lets humans “talk” to their devices.
For example, there are fridges that can text you if you don’t have any milk. You can also use
your cell phone to control the heating in your house via the internet. So if it’s cold, you can
switch the heating on when you are going home from work or school. In the workplace,
some manufacturing companies are using the internet of things to order more tools and
machines when they need them. And more of us are wearing internet-connected devices
around our wrists to check our health and measure our physical exercise.
Some people think the internet of things is bad for us because all our devices collect lots
of personal data about us. Companies learn more about their customers from this. And
your electronics know when you are at home and when you are out, which someone online
could also find out. So does this pose a problem for personal security? There are still lots
more unanswered questions like this about the internet of things.
One problem with “the internet of things” is that …
a. it might be bad for our health.
b. it can discover too much about us.


c. it makes our lives more complicated
Respuesta correcta

it can discover too much about us.

Pregunta 4
Lost Ship Discovered

In 1533, a Portuguese ship traveled from Portugal to India with lots of gold and diamonds.
But at the southern part of Africa, the weather was bad and the ship never arrived. It sank
and the crew died.
Five hundred years later, a worker in Namibia discovered a small piece of metal in the
Orange River. It was money. Later, archaeologists pulled more gold coins from the river.
There were also parts of a ship. It was the old Portuguese ship, so the archaeologists
learned more about people’s lives five hundred years ago.
Why is the discovery of the ship important?
a. Portugal was happy to have its ship back.
b. It teaches us a lot about the past.


c. The coins are worth a lot of money.
Respuesta correcta
It teaches us a lot about the past.
