Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
We have all heard that good study habits involve sitting somewhere quiet, sticking to a
schedule and setting yourself targets. However, such habits don't work for everyone and
cognitive scientists have come up with some new findings. In fact, the brain makes Q32.1
..............................................................................................................associations between
what it is studying and the background sensations it has at the time. Q32.2............study to one
place may therefore have Q32.3.................... effects because when the context is varied, the
1
information being studied is enriched and forgetting is slowed down. In
Q32.4...................., the information is given more support from the multiple associations.
Evidence also shows that varying the type of material studied in a single sitting leaves a
deeper impression on the brain than does concentrating on one skill at a time. Musicians
have known this for years, as have athletes who routinely Q32.5 strength, speed and
skill drills into their workouts. These ideas seem to
work when applied to any subject so it seems time for this Q32.6.................... to studying
to be taken more seriously.
Q32.1. A. thoughtful B. subtle C. influential D. sensitive
Q32.2. A. Enclosing B. Modifying C. Controlling D. Restricting
Q32.3. A. hurtful B. detrimental C. misleading D. punishing
Q32.4. A. honesty B. effect C. origin D. force
Q32.5. A. incorporate B. comprise C. include D. unite
Q32.6. A. theory B. procedure C. concept D. approach

Read the passage carefully and then fill ONE suitable word in each gap.
Until now, the word 'travel' has always conjured up visions of packed bags, the open
road, and generally the idea of escape. However, an exciting new concept is changing all
that. Not Q33.1...only............. may you now travel to another country, but to another
'world',
Q33.2 or=>without even leaving home.
'Second Life' is an interactive simulated world on the Internet which offers visitors the ultimate
form of escapism: the ability to reinvent Q33.3....in ..themselves............. and live their
dream life. First, you create your persona, called an avatar, and give it a name. Then you start
exploring the virtual environment, and choose to interact, or not, Q33.4 with the
other avatars you meet. For many, the beauty of the avatars is that they can fly. You can travel
great distances, gaining a bird's eye view of various 'environments', but the effect is rather
surreal. The world changes while you watch, as other more experienced 'gamers' buy and sell
property, using for currency the Linden dollar, which has an exchange rate against the US
dollar. Never before Q33.5.. had....has.............. a game offered players so many options!
You can shop, work, travel and form relationships, go to parties, or hold your own parties if
you want to. 'Second Life' is expanding rapidly, as more and more people are Q33.6
being.............................................................attracted to it,so don't miss out! Simply
allow your PC to transport you there and let your imagination do the rest!

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Islands remote areas are showing the world how sustainable it can be to use
renewables for energy needs.
A There are many reasons why countries around the world are trying to switch to
renewable sources of power such as wind, wave and solar power. First and foremost is the
amount of environmental damage caused by fossil fuel use. CO2 emissions from oil
and coal-powered electricity plants along with oil used in industry, and for
transport, are all contributing to climate change 35.1, a threat that could have
enormous consequences for the majority of populations on the planet. Another issue for
remote areas in the world is the cost of transporting fossil fuels in order for them to be able
to generate power. Transporting oil to remote areas and islands is costly and potentially
dangerous. For these reasons, renewable sources of energy are very attractive to areas, such as
small remote islands, where shipping in fossil fuels is prohibitively expensive and can be
affected by the difficulties of getting supplies in by ship because of storms at sea.
B A number of islands around the world have switched to using renewables to meet the
majority of their electricity needs and have also committed to becoming 100% self-
sufficient in renewable energy in the near future. Islands make good test grounds for the use
of renewable sources because they tend to be small, so it is relatively easy to produce enough
energy to power an area of that size. Geography also contributes to making these experiments
more productive as islands are more likely to be exposed to high winds, have access to
waves as well as more days of sunshine. Islands can therefore pioneer the use of a variety
of renewables together and give a picture, in microcosm, on how bigger states can follow
their lead. The lessons that these smaller areas learn from use of renewables can be
passed on to help to make transition to greater use of renewable sources smoother in
larger areas, such as urban conurbations.
C One problem with renewables is whether they can be depended on to give unlimited
energy. If there's no wind or the sun is behind a cloud then power can't be generated and
energy storage technology is still in its infancy. This means that renewables can't always be
depended on. And that isn't the only problem with renewable energy sustainability. Power
companies need to make money in order to operate and provide energy to populations and
businesses. One way renewables have affected power company viability is because
governments have given households subsidies for installing solar panels. The subsidies are
repaid by selling back excess energy to the power companies, which means that, in effect,
those with solar power make no financial contribution (35.3)to using the electricity grid's
infrastructure and this leaves the other customers to pick up the slack with higher prices. But
power companies are looking to reduce the price they pay for excess solar power from
households so that other customers pay a fairer price and the power company remains
competitive as a business.
D One island showing that renewable energy can be viable is the Spanish Canary Island
of E Hierro. It is the smallest and most isolated of the Canary Islands and because of the
1
geography o the local seabed, electricity cannot be supplied by underwater cables and
shipping in fuel isn't always possible either when Atlantic storm systems are en route. So,
to combat the problems
1
caused by depending on one renewable for electricity, A1 Heirro has developed a mixed
renewable energy system using both wind and hydro to produce most of the island's
energy. The system consists of five wind turbines and two water reservoirs. One of the
reservoirs is situated at 700 meters above sea level and the second is down on the coast.
The reservoirs are connected by two 3 km long pipes that contain hydraulic turbines that also
produce energy. Due to the island having a lot of wind, the wind turbines normally
produce plenty of electricity (63) to supply the grid and the excess electricity is used to
pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper one. When the wind drops, the
water from the upper reservoir can be released through the piping so the hydraulic
turbines can create energy on windless days. 65 This use of mixed renewables combats the
problem caused when one source becomes inoperable because of unfavourable weather.
E Many other islands are developing renewable systems that can be regarded as test runs for
similar projects in larger areas. Samso, in Demark is showing how switching to renewables not
only means more environmentally friendly, cleaner energy, it can also help with economic
regeneration by creating jobs related to the energy industry. Kodiak Island in Alaska is
another place using a mixed renewable system. It has a back-up battery storage system that
cuts in when the grid switches from wind to hydro and this prevents sudden power losses
that cause flickering lights or cut-offs. The island of Tilos in Greece is not only working
towards one hundred percent self-sufficiency with renewables but looking at using that
energy to power motorbikes and vehicles on the islands as well. In short, small islands
are showing the path the rest of the world can take to a sustainable energy future.

"It is said that self-study is very important for secondary school students".
Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Use specific reasons and examples to support
your answer.
Self- study is very essential for secondary school students. I absolutely agree with this
statement. There are some following reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, self-study improves the students’ ability to experience new knowledge.
This ability is required for everyone. The more people grow up, the more things they have
to study. Knowledge is not only the thing people study at school but also in the social life.
Those things aren’t taught by any teacher, people have to study on their own, so that self-
study is important.
Second, to learn by your self makes you remember the things longer. Self-
