points)
FAMILY HISTORY
Line 1 In an age which (-> when) technology is developing faster than ever before,
2 many people are being attracted by the idea of looking back into the past. One way they
3 can make (-> do) this is by investigating their own family history. They can try to find out
4 more about where their families came from and what they did. This is now a fast-growing
5 hobby, especially in countries with a fairly short history, alike (-> like) Australia and the
6 United States.
7 It is one thing to spend some time going through a book on family history and
8 taking (-> to take) the decision to investigate your own family past. It is quite another to
9 carry out the research work successfully. It is easy to set about it in a disorganized way
10 and cause yourself many problems that could have been avoided with a little forward
11 planning.
12 If your own family stories tell you that you are connected with a famous
13 character, whether hero or criminal, not to let (-> do not let) this idea take over your
14 research. Just treat it as an interesting possibility. A simple system for collecting and
Page 3 of 11
 storing your information will be adequate to start with; a more complex one may only get
under
(-> in) your way. The most important thing, though, is to get started. Who knows what
you might find?

III. Read the text below. Use the word given in capitals at the end of each line to form a word
that fits in the space in the same line. Write your answers on the answer sheet. (5 points)
MANCHESTER - CITY OF MANY LANGUAGES
Manchester has claim to fame as one of the world's most (36) linguistically LINGUIST
varied cities. Researchers from the University of Manchester have discovered
that at least 153 different languages are spoken among the city's half a million
inhabitants. The researchers say that Manchester's language diversity is greater
than that of many countries.
The city has been home to many ethnic (37) minorities for a long time but MINOR
there has been a (38) noticeable change in the make-up of the population in NOTICE
the last two decades, and with continuing immigration into the city from
various parts of the world and the arrival of many (39) overseas students to SEA
study at Manchester's colleges and universities, the number of languages is
likely to increase.
Currently, two-thirds of the city's schoolchildren are bilingual, a very
significant figure, and an indication that Manchester will continue to be (40) RICH
enriched by its great mix of languages and cultures.

IV. Fill in each blank with a suitable preposition or adverb particle. (5 points)

45. At the meeting someone put forward the idea that there should be a student representative on the
committee.

SECTION III: READING COMPREHENSION (30 POINTS)

I. Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow. (10 points)

Sustainable growth at Didcot

The outline of a report by South Oxfordshire District Council

A The UK Government’s South East Plan proposes additional housing growth in the town of Didcot,
which has been a designated growth area since 1979. We in South Oxfordshire District Council
consider that, although Didcot does have potential for further growth, such development should be
sustainable, well-planned, and supported by adequate infrastructure and community services.

B Recent experience in Didcot has demonstrated that large greenfield developments cannot resource
all the necessary infrastructure and low-cost housing requirements. The ensuing compromises create a
legacy of local transport, infrastructure and community services deficits, with no obvious means of
correction. We wish to ensure that there is greater recognition of the cost attached to housing growth,
and that a means is found to resource the establishment of sustainable communities in growth areas.
Page 4 of 11
C Until the 1950s, the development of job opportunities in the railway industry, and in a large,
military ordnance depot, was the spur to Didcot’s expansion. Development at that time was geared to
providing homes for the railway and depot workers, with limited investment in shopping and other
services for the local population. Didcot failed to develop Broadway as a compact town centre, and
achieved only a strip of shops along one side of the main street hemmed in by low density housing and
service trade uses.

D From the 1970s, strategic planning policies directed significant new housing development to
Didcot. Planners recognised Didcot’s potential, with rapid growth in local job opportunities and good
rail connections for those choosing to work farther afield. However, the town is bisected by the east-
west railway, and people living in Ladygrove, the urban extension to the north which has been built
since the 1980s, felt, and still feel, cut off from the town and its community.

E Population growth in the new housing areas failed to spark adequate private-sector investment in
town centre uses, and the limited investment which did take place - Didcot Market Place development
in 1982, for instance - did not succeed in delivering the number and range of town centre uses needed
by the growing population. In 1990, public-sector finance was used to buy the land required for the
Orchard Centre development, comprising a superstore, parking and a new street of stores running
parallel to Broadway. The development took 13 years to complete.

F The idea that, by obliging developers of new housing to contribute to the cost of infrastructure and
service requirements, all the necessary finance could be raised, has proved unachievable. Substantial
public finance was still needed to deliver major projects such as the new link road to the A34 on the
outskirts of the town at Milton, the improved railway crossing at Marsh Bridge and new schools. Such
projects were delayed due to difficulties in securing public finance. The same problem also held back
the expansion of health and social services in the town.

G In recent years, government policy, in particular, the requirement for developers that forty percent
of the units in a new housing development should be low-cost homes, has had a major impact on the
economics of such development, as it has limited the developers’ contribution to the costs of
infrastructure. The planning authorities are facing difficult choices in prioritising the items of
infrastructure which must be funded by development, and this, in turn, means that from now on public
finance will need to provide a greater proportion of infrastructure project costs.

H The Government’s Sustainable Communities Plan seeks a holistic approach to new urban
development in which housing, employment, services and infrastructure of all kinds are carefully
planned and delivered in a way which avoids the infrastructure deficits that have occurred in places
like Didcot in the past. This report, therefore, is structured around the individual components of a
sustainable community, and shows the baseline position for each component.

I Didcot has been identified as one of the towns with which the Government is working to evaluate
whether additional growth will strengthen the economic potential of the town, deliver the necessary
infrastructure and improve environmental standards. A programme of work, including discussions with
the local community about their aspirations for the town as well as other stakeholders, will be
undertaken over the coming months, and will lead to the development of a strategic master plan. The
challenge will be in optimising scarce resources to achieve maximum benefits for the town.

II. For questions 56 - 62, fill each of the following numbered blanks with ONE suitable word
and write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (7 points)

The word 'graffiti' (56) stems/comes/originates (/derives) from the Greek word graphein,
meaning to write. Simply speaking, graffiti is a drawing, scribbling or writing on a flat surface. Today,
we equate graffiti with the ‘New York’ or ‘Hip Hop’ style which emerged from New York City in the
1970s. Hip Hop was (57) originally an inner-city concept. It evolved from the rap music made in
Brooklyn and Harlem in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Donald Clarke, a music historian, has written
that rap music was a reaction to the disco music of the period. Disco was centered in the rich, elitist
clubs of Manhattan and rap emerged on street corners as a/an (58) alternative. Using lyrical rhythms
and 'beat boxing' the music was a/an (59) way/means to express feelings about inner-city life. Hip hop
emerged when turntables began to be used to form part of the rhythm by 'scratching' (the sound
created by running the stylus over the grooves of an LP). As Hip-Hop music emerged so
(60) did a new outlet for artistic visibility. Keith Haring began using posters to place his uniquely (61)
drawn figures and characters in public places. Soon he began to draw directly on subway walls and
transit posters. The uniqueness of his drawings eventually led to (62) their being shown in galleries
and published in books and his art became ‘legitimate’.

III. You are going to read a newspaper article about great explorations. Seven paragraphs have
been removed from the extract. Choose from the paragraphs A-H the one which fits each gap
(63-69). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. (7 points)

 GREAT EXPLORATIONS
When I left that nautical shop in Ushuaia, Argentina with just a few postcards, I had no idea how much
I would regret it later. I couldn't imagine the real need for a human being to have a nautical chart of
Cape Horn, the southernmost point on the whole planet. Mainly since this would only become a reality
after three intense days of navigating the waters that changed the history of the world and viewing the
same landscapes that Charles Darwin and Ferdinand Magellan saw.
63. C
There was nothing ordinary about that chart. The pen scratches showed the exact route that the vessel
had taken in the first stretch of the course, which went from the capital of the archipelago to Cape
Horn in Drake Passage where fearsome waters must be overcome to reach the Antarctic. There were
over ten nationalities occupying the sixty-four cabins on the boat, which, with its siblings, exclusively
covers the extreme south of Patagonia. They’ve known as expedition cruises and feature lectures on
fauna and flora and documentaries on Shackleton's expedition to Antarctica.
64. H
'Ninety dollars,’ said the Frenchman. He was on his honeymoon and his reason for wanting to buy the
map was a strong one. His bride, who had always dreamed of spending her post-nuptial days in
Madagascar, wasn't able to hold him back since she was napping in the cabin.
65. F
The first expedition to reach Cape Horn in 1616 was composed of two ships and eighty-seven men. It
left from Holland in 1615 with the mission of finding a passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific that
could serve as an alternative to the Strait of Magellan, discovered in 1520 and monopolized by the East
India Company.
66. E
The island where we disembarked on that morning didn't seem like the kind of place where no less
than 500 shipwrecks took place. It was cold and windy but the sun provided a more hospitable
atmosphere. On one of its extremities there was a monument; on the other, a lighthouse which is home
to traffic controller Patricio Ubal, his wife and their children.
67. G
A seasick Charles Darwin did not disembark at Cape Horn. It was 1832 and the young, inexperienced
British naturalist had joined the second expedition of Captain Robert Fitzroy on his frigate, the Beagle,
in exchange for financial help from his father. On board were also three natives of Tierra del Fuego
whom Fitzroy had taken to England on his last voyage. The most famous of these was Yamana Jeremy
Button.
68. D
The glaciers there remain in the same place, however, exactly as Darwin saw them. The deep blue of
the millennial ice is as impressive as the ferocious noise coming from the huge chunks that break off
that living mass. It is an unforgettable spectacle.
69. B
The auction had come to an end, but our voyage had not. The next morning, hours before the boat
docked in Punta Arenas, we visited the Magellanic penguins on Isla Magdalena. This was the moment
Sao Paulo native Lidia Senatore had been waiting for. Coincidentally, the nautical chart auctioned off
had been purchased by her for $150. Luckily for Francois, Valentine never heard about that.

MISSING PARAGRAPHS

A. Ushuaia is an unusual place. Half an hour from the city center, the Cerro Castor ski station is the
southernmost in the world and runs until the end of October, when all the others in South America
have already closed and the European stations haven’t even opened.
Page 7 of 11
B. ‘Going once, going twice..." In a fit of obsession, Francois raises his hand, ‘sold to the gentleman
for $250.’ Afterwards Valentine snorts: ‘How can you pay $250 for a piece of paper?

C. All the people gathered that night in one of the lounges of the Chilean boat Mare Australis had been
through this experience and now, on the last night of our journey, were staring at the auctioneer with a
genuine greed for that tube with the paper inside. I couldn’t help myself. I started off the bidding.

D. These are fascinating people. The coldness with which his mother received her son two years after
his disappearance provoked reports of amazement from Darwin，who witnessed this at Isla Navarino,
where we disembarked that afternoon. But, instead of the people who used to live there, we only came
across the tracks of beavers.

E. ‘How much is the chart of such an historic voyage worth?’ chanted the auctioneer in order to raise
the bidding, which had already passed $200. I’d stopped at 150 but the Frenchman and the table of
Americans showed no signs of giving up.

F. ‘Cape Horn was a dream for me. You can’t go any further. It’s difficult and dangerous to get there
and I wanted to share this with her,’ lawyer Francois Marty told me later. He only told his new wife
Valentine that they were going to South America. ‘Pack a bag for every season, everything from a
bikini to ski clothes,’ he advised her.

G. This is just a temporary position - it lasts less than a year - but a solitary one. It means having to
pass the entire time isolated from the world, without seeing civilization and not even being visited by it
during the winter months.

H. More common for visitors are the itineraries which peruse the Patagonian canals further north.
Other ships cover an even wider course but they don’t pass by Cape Horn. And it was this mythical
little island that had attracted those who were in that room.

IV. For questions 70 - 75, read an extract from an article and choose the answer A, B, C or D
that fits best according to the text. (6 points)
That large animals require a luxuriant vegetation, has been a general assumption which has
passed from one work to another; but I do not hesitate to say that it is completely false, and that it has
vitiated the reasoning of geologists on some points of great interest in the ancient history of the world.
The prejudice has probably been derived from India, and the Indian islands, where troops of
elephants, noble forests, and impenetrable jungles, are associated together in every one's mind. If,
however, we refer to any work of travels through the southern parts of Africa, we shall find allusions
in almost every page either to the desert character of the country, or to the numbers of large animals
inhabiting it. The same thing is rendered evident by the many engravings which have been published
of various parts of the interior. Dr. Andrew Smith, who has lately succeeded in passing the Tropic of
Capricorn, informs me that, taking into consideration the whole of the southern part of Africa, there
can be no doubt of its being a sterile country. On the southern coasts there are some fine forests, but
with these exceptions, the traveller may pass for days together through open plains, covered by a poor
and scanty vegetation.
Page 8 of 11
 Now, if we look to the animals inhabiting these wide plains, we shall find their numbers
extraordinarily great, and their bulk immense. We must enumerate the elephant, three species of
rhinoceros, the hippopotamus, the giraffe, two zebras, two gnus, and several antelopes even larger than
these latter animals. It may be supposed that although the species are numerous, the individuals of each
kind are few. By the kindness of Dr. Smith, I am enabled to show that the case is very different. He
informs me, that in lat. 24', in one day's march with the bullock-wagons, he saw, without wandering to
any great distance on either side, between one hundred and one hundred and fifty rhinoceroses - the
same day he saw several herds of giraffes, amounting together to nearly a hundred. At the distance of a
little more than one hour's march from their place of encampment on the previous night, his party
actually killed at one spot eight hippopotamuses, and saw many more. In this same river there were
likewise crocodiles. Of course it was a case quite extraordinary, to see so many great animals crowded
together, but it evidently proves that they must exist in great numbers. Dr. Smith describes the country
passed through that day as 'being thinly covered with grass, and bushes about four feet high, and still
more thinly with mimosa-trees.' Besides these large animals, everyone the least acquainted with the
natural history of the Cape, has read of the herds of antelopes, which can be compared only with the
flocks of migratory birds.
The numbers indeed of the lion, panther, and hyena, and the multitude of birds of prey, plainly
speak of the abundance of the smaller quadrupeds: one evening seven lions were counted at the same
time prowling round Dr. Smith's encampment. As this able naturalist remarked to me, the carnage
each day in Southern Africa must indeed be terrific! I confess it is truly surprising how such a number
of animals can find support in a country producing so little food. The larger quadrupeds no doubt
roam over wide tracts in search of it; and their food chiefly consists of underwood, which probably
contains much nutriment in a small bulk. Dr. Smith also informs me that the vegetation has a rapid
growth; no sooner is a part consumed, than its place is supplied by a fresh stock. There can be no
doubt, however, that our ideas respecting the apparent amount of food necessary for the support of
large quadrupeds are much exaggerated. The belief that where large quadrupeds exist, the vegetation
must necessarily be luxuriant, is the more remarkable, because the converse is far from true.
Mr. Burchell observed to me that when entering Brazil, nothing struck him more forcibly than
the splendour of the South American vegetation contrasted with that of South Africa, together with
the absence of all large quadrupeds. In his Travels, he has suggested that the comparison of the
respective weights (if there were sufficient data. of an equal number of the largest herbivorous
quadrupeds of each country would be extremely curious. If we take on the one side, the elephants
hippopotamus, giraffe, five species of rhinoceros; and on the American side, two tapirs, the guanaco,
three deer, the vicuna, capybara (after which we must choose from the monkeys to complete the
number), and then place these two groups alongside each other it is not easy to conceive ranks more
disproportionate in size. After the above facts, we are compelled to conclude, against anterior
probability, that among the mammalian there exists no close relation between the bulk of the species,
and the quantity of the vegetation, in the countries which they inhabit.

(Adapted from: Voyage of the Beagle, Charles Darwin)
