Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do
you hope about the future?
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields, from entertainment to
technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program
from a 'menu' and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide
Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music,
films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.
In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. In many places,
agriculture is changing and farmers are growing fruit and vegetables to export. This uses a lot of water. Demand
for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists
predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.
In transport, cars running on new, clean fuels will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any
accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will
control the car and drive it to your destination. On the other hand, space planes will take people halfway around the
world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space
planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big
companies prefer robots - they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we
will see robots everywhere - in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are electronic
devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and
deaf people see and hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced
clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they
behave and how much intelligence they have.
39: What can be inferred about the life in 2050 according to the passage?
A. Life in 2050 will be much better than that of today.
B. TV will be an indispensable means of communication and business.
C. People will not suffer from the shortage of water due to the polar melting.
D. The deaf will not have to depend any longer on the electronic hearing devices.
40: We can conclude from the passage that in 2050 ______.
A. People will be able to travel around the world in two hours.
B. Fewer cars will be used to keep the environment green and clean.
C. No one will be injured or die because of accidents.
D. Space planes will take the place of cars as a means of transport.
41: The word "This" in paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A. the possible war B. the cash crop planting C. the serious shortage D. the demand for water
42: What is the author's attitude in paragraph 3?
A. concerned B. explanatory C. outraged D. emotional
43: Why does the author use "prefer robots" in paragraph 5?
A. To show the importance of robots in production. B. To encourage the workers to resign from work.
C. To compare the robots with the workers. D. To emphasize the scientist's role in inventing robots.
***1: The word "conquered" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. controlled B. diagnosed C. transmitted D. caused
***2: What may NOT be true about life in 2050?
A. Many forms of entertainment will come to us thanks to computer.
B. Blind and deaf people will be helped by scientists to see and hear again.
C. Scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how intelligent they are.
D. Our sources of water for agriculture will increase ten times.
****3. The passage mainly discusses ________________.
A. The effect of the futurologists' prediction on our lives B. The effect of telecommunication on our future life
C. The changes in our future life compared with our life today D. The importance of cloning in the future

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C , or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE
Henrietta Lake talks to a remarkable 14-year-old entrepreneur who is certainly going places. Between studying for
nine GCSEs, including business studies, 14-year-old Dominic McVey has set up his own company, Scooters UK.
The business, which imports motorized scooters and skateboards from the United States, has already made a profit
of over £5,000 on sales of the equipment. Dominic needed £3,000 to set up his business and pay for the initial
stock. He used savings from birthday and Christmas money and cashed in some investments that his father had
made when Dominic was born. The young entrepreneur had also invested in shares on the stock market. “I had to
do the deals in my dad’s name because I was too young,” he says, “but he doesn’t know anything about the market,
so I told him what to buy and sell.” “I realized the potential for the business when I noticed that a lot of inner-city
streets were being closed to cars or they were chock-a-block with traffic,” he explains. “I thought there would be a
great market for these scooters and skateboards, particularly now that more restrictions on cars in town centres have
been introduced.” “You can take a smaller one with you on a train in a backpack and then unfold it and use it when
you get into town. Men in suits are riding them up and down Wall Street in the US and it is my aim to get them to
do the same in this country. I approached the American manufacturer and, after doing some research into their
company and the scooters, I was allowed to become their UK distributor.” The motorized scooters, which sell for
£499 and can travel at up to 22 mph, are not classified as motor vehicles and do not need a license or tax. He also
sells unmotorized skateboards for £129. They have special high-speed wheels and are capable of reaching 10 mph.
“I ride them around town in busy areas and usually end up with a crowd of people running down the street wanting
to know where to buy them, or winding down their car windows at traffic lights,” he says. Recently he went with
his mother on a sales trip to Paris. “The scooters are really popular there because the centre of the city is
pedestrianized at the weekend. I went out with 500 leaflets and came back with none.” In the early stages Dominic
had to overcome one or two obstacles. When he tried to open a business account at his bank, he made an
appointment to see the manager. However, the bank thought it was a joke, and when he arrived there they had not
set up any time for the meeting. “This really upset me,” says Dominic, “but I managed to get a good rate of interest
on the account because they were so embarrassed. I think people should take children more seriously.” Now that he
has succeeded in setting up the business Dominic wants to expand it. At the moment, the company is still importing
scooters in small numbers. “But business is picking up and so I am ordering a big container of 106 scooters in the-
new year.” Dominic is aiming to sell 500 scooters over the next 12 months. "I think it is worth taking the risk when
you are young: if the worst happens, I have my parents’ support and I am still at school.” He also plans to open a
showroom for his scooters in the City of London, “right by some traffic lights so people stop and look”. His idea
would then be to sell the business and look for further opportunities to make money. “I’d like to be able to retire
before I’m 40,” he tells me.

44 (TH): How did Dominic raise the necessary money to set up his company?
A. He invested all his savings on the stock market. B. He borrowed it from his father.
C. He used money from a variety of sources. D. It was a birthday present.
45(TH): What does Dominic mean when he says that streets were "chock-a-block with traffic" in paragraph 3?
A. Cars were not allowed to enter them. B. They were full of vehicles.
C. Traffic prevented scooters from entering them. D. They had street markets in them.
46. (VD): What type of people does he want to buy his scooters?
A. fashionable people B. Americans C. businessmen D. people who do not own a car
47. (VD): The motorized scooters that Dominic sells _______
A. require no special driving skills. B. cannot legally be ridden on the road.
C. have specially designed wheels. D. cannot travel very long distances.
48. (VD): Why did Dominic go to Paris?
A. He went shopping with his mother. B. He wanted to see the new pedestrian precinct.
C. He took some scooters to sell there. D. He wanted to distribute information about his scooters.
49 (TH): Dominic believes that being young ______
A. prevents him from taking himself too seriously. B. means that things are more likely to go wrong.
C. is a good time to be adventurous. D. is a source of concern to his parents.
50. (TH): What upset Dominic about his visit to the bank?
A. The manager laughed at him. B. The manager refused to see him.
C. The meeting with the manager was very short. D. The manager did not expect him to turn up.
****1. (TH): In the future, Dominic intends to ______

C. hold an exhibition of scooters. D. bring in partners to help him run his business.
