Questions 21-29
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Choose the letter of the
correct answer.
The Song dynasty was a period of time in ancient China starting in 960 CE and ending in 1279 CE
when the grand general of the Song, Zhang Shijie, lost the battle of Yamen. The Song dynasty is famous
in world history. Some of its cities were the largest in the world at that time, with populations in excess of
one million, and its government was responsible for introducing the world’s first paper money. 1. _____ it
was during this time that one of China’s most famous works of art, Along the River During the Quingming
Festival, was painted. However, not many people know that the world’s earliest example of printed
advertising appeared at this time, too.
The advertisement was created using a metal plate made of copper. Before the plate was covered with
ink, words and images were engraved, or cut, into it. After that paper was pressed against the plate so that
the words and images engraved on it were transferred to the paper. Can you guess what the advertisement
was for? The answer is a shop selling needles, which are small instruments used for making and repairing
clothes. The paper advert said: ‘Jinan Lui’s Fine Needle Shop’ and was decorated with an image of a rabbit.
Was it successful? Did it generate more business for the needle shop? We will never know.
For companies, generating more business and attracting more customers is the main purpose of
advertising. Apple, for example, spent nearly two billion dollars on it in 2016. It’s a huge amount, but it is still
much less than one of its biggest competitors, Samsung. For consumers, advertising can be useful. It can
make them aware of new products or tell them about new features in an already existing good. However,
this is not to say that all advertising is helpful. Sometimes companies may not be honest about how unique
their product is, or the effect it has on our health. For example, before 1984, cigarette companies in America
did not have to put warnings on cigarette packets telling consumers about the health risks associated with
smoking and the greater chance that smokers will suffer from heart disease and cancer. In addition, some
advertising is unethical because it encourages people to buy products they may not need or cannot afford.
Children and young people in particular are easily influenced by adverts that show the latest toys, clothing or
music, and this can force parents to buy these products for their children.
In the modern world, companies send SMS messages to consumers’ phones whenever they want, and
we see ads on TV, in cinemas, on posters in malls, in newspapers and magazines. 2. _____ it seems that
nowadays there are very few places where we can avoid adverts.

Questions 30-37
correct answer.
At present, there are probably at least ten thousand of them. They are young, and most of them live
in the UK, Canada, Australia, and the USA. About 1,000 of them are Emiratis but the rest are not. The
subjects they study include engineering, business, law, and medicine. Who are they? They are students who
left their high school in the UAE and went to study at universities abroad.
Why do these students choose to leave their homes in the UAE and go to such English-speaking
countries? There are several reasons. First, they may wish to study a course that is not offered in the UAE.
Second, they may want the prestige that comes from studying at a world-famous university such as Oxford,
Cambridge, Harvard, or Yale. Third, they may wish to improve their English language skills. One of the
fastest ways that students can improve their ability to communicate in English is to go and live in an
English-speaking country, where they are required to speak English in their daily lives outside of college.
A final reason is it’s an adventure. Living in another country is attractive to some because it is a chance to
live independently.
Although completing a degree at a foreign university can be interesting and can improve your language
skills and future job prospects, students should ensure they are well-informed about which one to choose.
Universities are different from country to country. Even within the same country, differences exist which
may make one university a better choice for Emirati students than another. For example, both Edinburgh
University, which is in the capital city of Scotland, and King’s College, which is in the heart of London, are
excellent universities in the UK. 1. _____ both are among the 25 best universities in the world, according
to the QS World University Rankings. However, there is a single direct flight from Edinburgh airport to
Dubai, whereas the airports that serve London offer a dozen at least. In addition, the weather in Scotland is

generally colder than in London. A similar situation exists in America. Cornell University, which is in Ithaca,
New York State, has an excellent reputation, but it is quite isolated compared to Colombia University, which
is in New York City and has great transport links a short distance away.
If you are a high school student in the UAE who is considering studying abroad, it is a good idea to
begin the process of selecting your university at least a year before you finish high school. There are several
reasons for this. First, it is a complicated process with many factors that must be considered. Second,
applying to various universities takes time and you do not want to feel rushed.

(B) about a thousand of them are non-Emiratis
(C) engineering, business, law, and medicine are subjects they most often select
(D) not all of them go to the UK
33. According to the text, which of the following is NOT a reason why students from the UAE study at a
foreign university?
(A) Students can find courses that aren’t available in the UAE.
(B) Students can teach the English language well.
(C) Students can learn to take care of themselves.
(D) Students may want to join one of the greatest universities in the world.

Questions 38-45
correct answer.
A rabbit is a small animal. It has large front teeth for eating grass, long ears, and a very short tail.
A deer is medium-sized, plant-eating animal. It has long legs and a small head. A gazelle (Al ghazal in
Arabic) looks similar to a deer. A mouse is smaller than a rabbit or a deer. Mice have long noses and long,
thin tails. Their bodies generally grow to about 8 cm and their tails are usually shorter than their bodies.
What is the connection between a rabbit, a deer, and a mouse? It is true that they all have four legs. It is
also true they are all mammals, which means they give birth to live young and females produce milk. But did
you know that they are all animals that have become famous cartoon characters?
There are at least two famous cartoon characters that were rabbits. The first was Bugs Bunny, who
was created in 1938 but whose famous catch-phrase “What’s up, Doc?’ was not used until 1940. He loved
eating carrots and making his enemy, Elmer Fudd, look stupid. The second was Roger Rabbit, who first
appeared in print in 1981 and in a movie in 1988. In the movie, he is wrongly accused of murdering a film
producer and has to find the real criminal.
As for deer, many people know about Bambi, which was made into a film in 1942. In the film, Bambi
makes friends with Thumper, who is a rabbit, and they play together. 1. _____ Bambi grows up and
becomes the Great Prince of the Forest, protecting all the animals there from Man. Many years later, when

the American Film Institute asked people to recommend their favourite cartoon, Bambi was placed 3rd on
the list of best cartoon films. Although in 1942 some newspaper writers did not like the movie, most people
now recognize it to be an all-time classic.
Finally, perhaps the most famous cartoon character of all time is Mickey Mouse. Amazingly, he has
appeared in over 130 films, starting his public career in a short film called Steamboat Willie in 1928. Mickey
Mouse even won an Academy Award of Merit, the top prize for film-makers and actors given by the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), for his part in the 1941 film Lend a Paw. Many
people are surprised to find out that from 1928 to 1947, the voice of Mickey Mouse was actually that of
Walt Disney. Some people think he was a genius because he created so many cartoon characters such as
Bambi, Dumbo, Mickey Mouse, and Pinocchio.
38. What is an appropriate title for the passage?
