Part 1: Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question. (lOpts)
These days in business, people have to face many challenging questions when designing
implementing new projects in underdeveloped areas of the countryside. One issue which has to be
face is whether it is possible to introduce new technology without destroying the local
envỉomnent. Economic (56) and envữonment conservation are often seen as natural
enemies. It is unfortunate that in the past this has often been true, and it has been necessary to choose
between(57) the project or protecting the environment. However, by taking environmental
considerations seriously at an early stage in a project, companies can significantly reduce any impact
on local plants and animals. (58)………………… in southern Africa, a company called CEL, was
asked to put up 410 km of a power transmission line without disturbing the rare birds which inhabit
that area. The project was carried out with (59) ……..disturbance last summer. What may
surprise many business people is the fact that tills nsideration for local wildlife did not in any way

local knowledge and advanced technology, meant that the project was actually completed ahead (62)
………………… schedule? CEL was contracted to finish the job by October and (63)to do so two
months earlier. CEL is one of those companies which is (64) to the principle of environmental
conservation. Many other companies have yet to be (65) of the importance of balancing the needs of
people with those of the envhomnent. However, it may be the only realistic way forward.

Part 3: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions. (5pts)
There are lots of clothes shops in the Bluewater Shopping Centre in the south of England, so it's easy
to find fashionable hooded tops for sale there. However, you can't wear a hooded top while you’re
looking, because they're banned. The shopping centre believes that teenagers who wear hooded tops
often use them to hide their faces while they're behaving badly. That's why the new rule bans people
wearing ‘hoodies’ (hooded tops) from the shopping centre. Baseball caps are also banned. And the
managers of the shopping centre say that their new rules are working. More people are shopping
there, and trouble-makers are staying away.
The Bluewater Shopping Centre is not the only place in the UK where certain clothes are banned.
Students at Maesteg Comprehensive School in Wales are not allowed to wear hooded tops because
the head teacher believes that they cause bad behaviour. If children wear hooded tops to school, the
teachers take them away, and don't give them back until the end of term. Most of the parents agree
with this new rule. However, many people, especially young people, beheve that these rules are silly
and unfair.They say that baseball caps and hooded tops are an important part of teenage fashion, and
it’s impossible to judge a person's personality from the clothes they wear. The head teacher of
Coombeshead College in the south of England agrees. In fact, hooded tops are now part of the school
uniform at Coombeshead College.Many adults believe that young people's behaviour is getting
worse. One politician. Lord Ashley, said. 'Children are ten times worse than in tile past.' However, he
said that in 1823! The generation gap is nothing new.
