The Plastiki looks similar to many other boats in Sydney harbour. It's eighteen metres long, six metres
wide and it weighs about twelve thousand kilogrammes. It carries a crew of six people and has an average
speed of five knots. However, once you get near to the Plastiki you realise there's a big difference. It's
made of twelve thousand five hundred re-used plastic bottles.
David de Rothschild is an environmentalist who has crossed Antarctica and explored the Ecuadorian
Amazon. One day he was reading some information about all the plastic in the seas and oceans. He
couldn't believe what he was reading. For example, humans throw away four out of every five plastic
bottles they use, and plastic rubbish causes about eighty per cent of the pollution in the sea. In addition,
scientists think that around one million seabirds die every year from plastic pollution. De Rothschild
decided he wanted to help fight pollution in the sea. To help more people understand the problem, he
started building a boat made of plastic bottles.
As well as building the boat with recycled plastic, it was important for him to make the boat
environmentally friendly and user-friendly. The boat uses renewable energy such as wind power and solar
energy. The crew can make meals with vegetables from the small garden at the back of the boat. They can
take a break from work and get some exercise by using the special exercise bicycle. The energy from the
bike provides power for the boat's computers. And if anyone needs to take a shower, the boat's shower
uses saltwater from the sea.
(Adapted from Life by John Hughes, Helen Stephenson and Paul Dummett)
Question 31. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. An Extraordinary Man B. Life at Sea
C The Problem of Plastic Bottles D. A Boat with a Difference
Question 32. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. scientists B. humans C. plastic bottles D. seas and oceans
Question 33. According to paragraph 2, De Rothschild was shocked when he ________.

A. travelled between Antarctica and the Ecuadorian Amazon
B. read some information about plastic at seas and oceans
C. participated in an environmental campaign
D. built his first plastic boat
Question 34. The word fight in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. compete B. divide C. compare D. tackle
Question 35. Which of the following is TRUE about the Plastiki, according to the passage?
A. It has a totally different appearance when compared to other boats.
B. It was made of plastic and other materials which are hard to decompose.
C. Daily life activities aren’t interrupted when living on the boat.
D. Clean water exists in abundance on the boat.
For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that people sometimes
mocked him for being overweight, and he was usually able to shrug it off. But this time, as well as laughing
at him in person, someone decided to publicly fat-shame him by posting a video of him dancing online,
with a hurtful comment. Sean was completely unaware of it, but the post about him was shared widely,
and it prompted a wave of abuse from immature Internet trolls.
However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of women in California,
who were campaigning to encourage people to have a positive body image whatever their size, decided
to take action. They put out a message on Twitter, inviting Sean on an all-expenses- paid trip from London
to Los Angeles, to meet and dance with them. When Sean's friends first told him about the search for
'dancing man', he figured it was a bit of nonsense which would soon blow over, and decided not to bother
doing anything about it.
But the movement got bigger and bigger. Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the women -
all 1,700 of them - started raising money to throw him an extra-special party in LA. He went to the party
in California. Sean had assumed that just a few people would turn up, but he realised his mistake as soon
as he saw over 1,000 people queuing to get into the nightclub! Sean danced all night and the story of how
he and the women's group in California took a stance against cyberbullying was reported around the world.
As a result of the event, some of the women set up Dance Free Movement, an online forum where anyone
who felt they had been bullied or victimised could receive support. The 'dancing man' himself has become
a fundraiser for several anti-bullying charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something which started out so
badly, had become such a positive movement. He said that he had actually never really thought about the
people who posted the original images, concluding that they must have their own insecurities, to put the
spotlight on someone else so maliciously. Sean certainly had the last laugh. We are often told that the best
idea is not to give bullies any attention, but it may be that the best way to deal with cyberbullying is to act
as these women did and be brave enough to make it clear that we are uncomfortable with this kind of
behaviour, that we disagree with what is being said and that bullying is completely unacceptable.
(Adapted from High Note by Rachael Roberts and Caroline Krantz)

CYCLING IN LONDON
Up until recently the British were not exactly keen on cycling. In fact, only a quarter of the twenty
million bicycles in the country were thought to be in (34) _______ use. Over the last year, though, the
number of cyclists in urban areas, particularly in London, has grown by 83 per cent. This has turned the
capital into a cleaner, less noisy city compared to (35) _____ others in Europe.
How was this possible? It is all thanks to the National Cycle Network project (36) _____, in the last
few years, has managed to encourage many people to use their bicycles either to travel to work or for fun.
(37) _______, the provision of bicycle parking in the streets, at railway and underground stations, in
schools and in the workplace has contributed significantly to the rise in the number of cyclists. It is
estimated that nearly 75 per cent of the population live within two miles of a route and more cycling (38)
______ are made than ever before.

Scientists have dreamed for a long time about building a 'flying train' which can float through the air
above the tracks. With Maglev technology, their dreams are now a reality. Maglev trains have no wheels.
Instead, powerful magnets lift them into the air and push them forward, at speeds of up to 500 km per
hour.
As well as speed, Maglev has a number of advantages over other transport systems. The trains are
quieter and the journey is smoother because they don't have wheels. They are also greener because they
don't use fuel and so create less pollution. Right now there is only one high-speed Maglev train system in
the world. It carries passengers from Shanghai city centre to the airport. However, work has started on a
new, longer Maglev track in Japan. Trains will go from Tokyo to Nagoya in 40 minutes. But don't expect
to ride on it on your next trip to Japan. It won't open until 2027! Then, in 2045, the line will extend to
Osaka.
There is one major problem with Maglev technology: it is incredibly expensive to build the tracks.
Transport planners predict that the Tokyo to Osaka line will cost 91 billion dollars. The high cost means
that Maglev technology probably won't replace other forms of transport in the near future. However, the
technology is still in development and somebody might find a cheaper and simpler way to build the tracks.
And then, who knows? In the future, some of us might fly to work by train.
(Adapted from Navigate by Caroline Krantz and Julie Norton)

CCTV cameras were initially developed as a means of security for banks. In Britain they first appeared
in 1953 and by the 1960s, there were already a few cameras in major streets in London. Today, there are
more than four million CCTV cameras across the country. That's one camera for every fourteen people.
The cameras are there to film dangerous or illegal behaviour. With new software, they can automatically
recognize the faces of known offenders, and a new kind of CCTV in the Netherlands can detect angry
voices and automatically warn the police of trouble. Some CCTV cameras can even interact with the
people they are watching. But these cameras don't just watch criminals; they watch all of us, almost all of
the time.
The amount of surveillance in towns and cities across Britain is increasing because it is thought to
deter crime. Some goods in shops now have RFID tags (radio frequency identification tags) attached to
them. When you pick up one of these items, the RFID tag sends a radio message to a CCTV camera and
the camera starts filming you. Shops say that this technology helps to catch shoplifters - but only by
treating everybody as a potential criminal.
Cameras and tags are not the only ways of monitoring our actions. Every time you make or receive a
call on your mobile phone, the phone company knows the number of the phone you are calling and how
long the call lasts. It is even possible to work out your exact location. The police often use this information
when they're investigating serious crimes.
Even when you are at home, you are not necessarily safe from surveillance. High-speed internet
connections have made computers more vulnerable than ever before. When you use your computer to
visit websites, you are probably sending and receiving 'cookies' without realizing it. Cookies transfer
information from your computer to the website and, in theory, could record which websites you visit.
Modern technology is making it easier and easier to stay in contact, but it is also making it nearly
impossible for us to hide.

Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous scientists in the world today. He uses mathematics to
study space and the universe. He has written several famous books. He wrote A Brief History of Time in
1988, and more than 10 million people have bought this book. Other scientists have called Hawking the
greatest scientist in the world.
Hawking has faced terrible problems in his life. When he was 21, he got a serious disease called ALS.
It quickly got worse, and soon he couldn't walk or speak. Now he can move only his left hand. He uses a
wheelchair with a motor to get around. He "talks" by typing words into a computer. The computer
pronounces the words for him.
But for Hawking, his work is more important than his problems. Now he is interested in the beginning
of the universe. He teaches at Cambridge University in England, and he gives lectures at other universities.
He has written many important scientific papers and has won many prizes for his work. He has appeared
in several movies and has been on TV many times. He has traveled in countries around the world, and he
has even traveled in space! In 2007, he went up on a special zero- gravity plane.

In some low-lying countries such as Bangladesh, The Philippines or Cambodia, it is not unusual to
have a boat school. In one area of Bangladesh, there are now over 20 such boats, which act as both a kind
of ‘river bus’ and also a place to study. These schools were first set up in 2002 by a successful, local
Bangladeshi architect called Mohammed Rezwan. Every year, between the monsoon season of June and
October, at least one third of Bangladesh is flooded with water. This means that thousands of children
can’t attend school regularly, when they ought to. Statistics have shown that once students’ attendance
falls, then many stop completely. Rezwan understood that this mustn’t happen in the first place.
Rezwan rganiza that if young people can’t attend school, then the school had better come to them.
In 2002, he encouraged companies to sponsor him and saved up money to set up an rganization to start
the boat schools. These are now used by thousands of school children who happily attend school every
month of the year. Each boat is powered by solar panels on the roof. There are lights and a computer on
board, which means that teachers can access the Internet to make lessons more interactive. Most boats
are for 30 children and some of the larger boats even have a school playground on the top deck. The
students only have to walk a short distance from their homes to the river, where the boat picks them up
and then collects the other children, before stopping at their final destination. Then lessons can start. At
the end of the day, the children are returned home on the boat.
The rganization which Rezwan set up also provides solar-powered lamps to local families, where
70% of families have no electricity. Now children and their parents don’t have to stop studying or working
as soon as the sun goes down. For parents, this has meant they can earn more money. It also means that
in families where children have to work during the day, they can attend school in the evening.
The rganization has not stopped at schools, however. There are now more than 100 boats with
different purposes: libraries, training centres for adults, clinics and also farming boats, which can keep
animals and grow food. By 2050, nearly one fifth of Bangladesh will be permanently under water because
of climate change. Mr Rezwan knows he should act quickly, to help families and children out of poverty
and to give them the chance of a better life.

STAYING IN TOUCH
People have been recording information in the form of writing since ancient times. Latin, the language

historians have also come across love letters (35) ______ people wrote to stay in touch in those times.
After the invention of the printing press in the mid-fifteenth century, books and documents in people's
native languages became readily available. This, together with improvements in education and the spread
of postal services in the nineteenth century, permitted families and friends to (36) ______ messages to
each other by letter. Maintaining contact was much easier than it had ever been. In recent years, (37)
_______, everything has changed. Mobile phones, emails and text messages are replacing letters. Why

You know what they say; find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life. So, if you are
thinking about what to do with your life, this may be something to consider. Choosing a career can be
difficult. Especially because there are so many jobs to choose from and many things to think about, such
as qualifications and financial rewards. So how do you pick a career? The only answer seems to be "choose
one that makes you feel that you are getting paid for doing something you truly love".
Unless you have grown up with a talent or are keen on something that you can make a career out of,
you need to consider certain things about yourself. What suits your personality? We are all different and
just because your best friend wants to be a doctor, this does not mean that you should follow. You need
to make an informed decision. This means thinking carefully about the path you need to follow to get
that job. Are you willing to get the training or education needed? You must also consider why you really
want to do it. If it's just because it's well paid, then sometime in the future you are going to feel 'empty',
even with a healthy bank account.
Nowadays, there are plenty of online career sites, but the main part has to come from you. You need to
be honest and measure your skills and talents realistically. Also, you may need to talk to your parents who
have their own ideas, based on their own experiences, about what you should do. They have your best
interests at heart. They don't want to see you having financial problems or being unemployed. But at the
end of the day, it is your life. There is no point in being miserable for the next forty years just to please
someone else.
(Adapted from Succeed in B1 Preliminary by Andrew Betsis and Lawrence Mamas)

Think of an endangered species. What comes to mind? The giant panda and the blue whale? And what
do these creatures all have in common? They're known as 'charismatic megafauna', in other words, large
species of animals which appeals to a lot of people. However, less well-known or 'exciting' creatures are
far more likely to actually become extinct because they don't get enough attention from researchers.
The Ugly Animal Preservation Society's mascot is the blob fish, voted the world's ugliest animal. With
its tiny eyes, big mouth and slimy pink body it's far from attractive. This marine creature lives deep in the
ocean, where the pressure is very high. As a result, it has tiny fins and no skeleton, which keeps it from
being crushed by the water pressure. Unfortunately, when fishing boats sweep the ocean floor, looking
for other fish and crustaceans, these fish can get swept into the nets accidentally, which is causing their
numbers to drop.
The California condor is another accidental victim of human activity. These huge birds with bald heads
and big beaks weigh up to fourteen kilos, have a wingspan of up to two metres and can live as long as
sixty years. They play an important role in the ecosystem by feeding on dead animals, thus preventing the
spread of disease. Reintroduced into the wild after becoming extinct, other than in captivity, they are now
under threat once more because of chemical pesticides introduced into the food chain and lead poisoning
from the ammunition used to kill the animals they feed on.
Other creatures become endangered precisely because people find them ugly. Take the aye aye for
example. Found only on the island of Madagascar, the aye aye is the world's largest nocturnal primate.
During the day they sleep in nests in the trees, coming out to hunt at night. They are solitary creatures,
furry, but strange looking, with big eyes, large ears and long, thin, pointed fingers. The middle finger is
particularly thin and they use it to gently knock on trees. Then they reach into the tree and pull out any
insects that respond to the knocking. Unfortunately, the way they look means that they are traditionally
considered an omen of bad luck. Some people even believe that if they point that thin middle finger at
someone, they will die. As a result, they are often killed, even though, like many endangered species, they
are now protected by law.
A. Are Endangered Species Getting Enough Attention?
B. They Need Saving Too!
C. ‘Ugly Animals’: Why Do They Become Extinct?
D. Conservation Programmes for Unattractive Species
Question 45. The phrase appeals to in paragraph 1 mostly means ________.
A. requests B. interests C. damages D. replaces
Question 46. According to paragraph 1, what features do the giant panda and the blue whale share?
A. They aren’t being saved from extinction.
B. They aren’t popular in the animal world.
C. They don’t get attention from researchers.
D. They have attractive appearances.
A. chemical pesticides B. the California condors
C. dead animals D. kilos
Question 48. The word omen in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. behaviour B. speed C. origin D. sign
Question 49. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. The life expectancy of the California condor is rather low.
B. The water pressure poses a threat to the survival of the blob fish.
C. The aye aye has the habit of hunting just after the sunrise.
D. The California condor is under threat due to chemical pollution.
A. The complete disappearance of the California condor can affect the food chain.
B. The number of the aye aye is dropping significantly because of their middle finger.
C. The spread of disease could be encouraged by the extinction of the California condor.
D. The blob fish is vulnerable to humans due to their natural defence mechanism.

New technology is making it easier than ever for young people to take up campaigning. One
campaigner working with Battlefront is Aimee Nathan, 17, from London, who will soon have been
campaigning for six months. Aimee is trying to stop people using disposable coffee cups. These are non-
recyclable due to their plastic covering, so they end up in landfill sites.
Aimee worked out that if just 1,000 people bring their own mugs with them when they buy coffee, by
the end of a year, one coffee shop will have saved 5.5 tonnes of waste and 125 trees. Highlights of her
campaign included appearing on TV and getting a crowd of people, including a famous model, to take
their own mugs to a coffee shop. Aimee's Facebook page played a big part in publicising the event.
Another Battlefront campaigner, Manpreet Darroch, 19, from Birmingham, became aware of the
importance of road safety when several people he knew were killed or injured in road accidents. He was
shocked to discover that traffic accidents are the biggest cause of death for 15-19-year-olds worldwide:
about 7,000 people under 25 will have lost their lives on the road by the end of next week.
Manpreet decided to focus his campaign on the danger of crossing the street while listening to an MP3
player. He has used Twitter in his campaign, spoken at political meetings and made a video for the
Battlefront website. He is now hoping to work with musicians to make his message go viral!
(Adapted from Interactive by Helen Hadkins, Samantha Lewis and Joanna Budden)

A generation of teenagers who communicate via the Internet and by text messages are risking
unemployment because their daily vocabulary consists of just 800 words, experts have warned. According
to recent surveys, they know an average of 40,000 words, but they favour a 'teenspeak' used in text
messages, social networking sites and Internet chat rooms. Communication expert Jean Gross thinks that
the lack of range will affect their chances of getting a job. Miss Gross is planning a nationwide campaign
to ensure children use their full language potential.
She wants to make sure that teenagers do not fail in the classroom and later, in the workplace, because
they are inarticulate. It will target schoolchildren and she is asking celebrities to support her campaign.
‘Teenagers are spending more time communicating through electronic media and text messaging, which
is short and brief, she says. ‘We need to help them understand the difference between their textspeak and
the formal language they need to succeed in life - 800 words will not get you a job.’ She plans to send
children with video cameras into workplaces to observe the range of words used by professionals and
share their findings with classmates. She also wants parents to limit the amount of TV that children watch,
replacing it with conversation.
Her concern was raised, she said, by research conducted by Tony McEnery, a professor of linguistics,
who examined 10 million words of transcribed speech and 100,000 words from teenagers' blogs. He found
that teens use their top 20 words in a third of their speech, and also discovered words likely to be unknown
to adults, including 'chenzed, which means tired, 'spong' (silly), and 'lol, the shorthand version of 'laugh
out loud.
John Bald, a language teaching consultant, said the poor use of language was a rebellious act. 'There
is undoubtedly a culture among teenagers of deliberately stripping away language, he said. 'When kids
are in social situations, the instinct is to simplify. It's part of a wider anti-school culture that exists among
some children which parents and schools need to address! But David Crystal, honorary professor of
linguistics at Bangor University, argues that experts did not understand the complexities of teen language.
'The real issue here is that people object to kids having a good vocabulary for hip-hop and not for politics,
he said. 'They have an articulate vocabulary for the kind of things they want to talk about. Academics
don't get anywhere near measuring that vocabulary!’
(Adapted from Gateway by Frances Treloar)
A. The Impacts of Text Messages on Teens’ Vocabulary
B. Teenagers’ Vocabulary Fail to Work
C. Teens’ Language Poses a Threat to Reading Culture
D. ‘TeenSpeak’ – A Way to Increase Your Employability
Question 45. According to paragraph 1, experts believe that teenagers _______.
A. learn too few words when they are growing up
B. only use part of the vocabulary they know very well
C. can’t get a job easily because of their lack of vocabulary
D. find it difficult to communicate with employers
Question 46. The word inarticulate in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. too slow to react B. bad at calculating
C. unable express thoughts clearly D. easy to be influenced by others
A. words B. cameras C. teenagers D. celebrities
Question 48. The word address in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by _______.
A. deal with B. switch off C. adapt to D. compete for
Question 49. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. The campaign launched by Ms. Gross aims at students who are excellent at communicating.
B. Teenagers have the habit of using short and simple language while chatting online.
C. Tony McEnery was taken aback to discover some unusual words invented by teenagers.
D. John Bald and David Crystal share the idea of the anti-school culture among young people.
A. Parents often adopt permissive attitudes towards their children’s compulsive TV watching.
B. Experts’ judgements about teenagers’ poor language can be based on the wrong principles.
C. Teenagers are always the pioneers who pave the way for a new range of vocabulary.
D. Some teen languages are quite prevalent in today’s professional working environment.

Maria Alcalá of Madrid speaks for many Mediterranean people when she says that "a meal without
olive oil is boring". No one knows when the Mediterraneans first fell in love with olives because it was
before people wrote and kept records. However, there is some evidence that people began growing olive
trees around the Mediterranean Sea approximately 6,000 years ago. The Mediterranean countries still
produce 99% of the world's olive oil with Spain being the world's biggest producer.
From ancient times through today, the basic process of producing the oil is the same. First, farmers
crush the olives. Then, they take the liquid and separate the oil from the water.
Many olive growers keep their ancient traditions and still harvest the olives by hand. "We harvest in
the traditional way", says Don Celso, an olive farmer from Tuscany, Italy. "It is less expensive to do it
with machines but it's more a social thing. Twenty people come to help with the harvest and we pay them
in oil".
Ancient civilisations used olive oil as money and medicine. They even used it during war - they would
heat it up and drop it down on the enemy! These days, it is still used in religious ceremonies as it was in
ancient times. It is also great for making fish and cheese stay fresh. There are even olive oil lamps and
olive oil soaps.

As part of a project called ‘The Social Experiment’, more than 600 students at Shoreline High School
gave up texting, email, and networking sites for a week free of social media. Under the rules, students
could call each other on their phones, which many of them had never done before the experiment began.
The idea started with Trent Mitchell, a video-production teacher at the school. He wondered whether
his students, who often walked into class heads down, typing away on their phones, could cut themselves
off from social media. Mitchell thought his students wouldn't be able to tear themselves away. When he
asked them, half the students said they could do it; the other half thought it was the worst idea they'd ever
heard.
Mitchell and a colleague from another school, Marty Ballew, created The Social Experiment. The
theme was 'What was life like in 1995?' Students documented the process through video interviews with
students and staff, some of whom also volunteered to cut themselves off. Some students went to extremes
to make sure they didn’t break the rules. Five students handed over their cell phones to Ballew. One girl
gave him her Facebook password and asked him to change it for the week to help her avoid temptation.
Cole Sweeten found it tough. He deleted texts as they came in, but found it hard to remember not to
answer text messages. On the second day, he heard the familiar buzz and grabbed his phone, ready to hit
the button to read the new text message, when he remembered. 'No!' he shouted, and dropped the phone
to the floor.
Last year, El ZeinIt was sending or receiving 200 texts per day, or about 6,000 per month. It was too
much for her parents, who confiscated her phone for a week. This year, she said, she has averaged 20 to
50 a day, until the experiment week, that is. It was 'weird' not checking her email, texts and social network
sites as soon as she woke. But each day got easier.
Ed Wytovicz did chores during his free time, an idea that sounds like it came from his parents, but he
claims he wanted to do it. He also figured out activities such as practising basketball are better distractions
than ones that take 10 or 15 minutes. ‘You had to do something that filled time in large segments,’ he
says.

A. In an Endeavour to Escape from Social Interaction
B. How 21st Century Technologies Intrude Your Privacy
C. How Long Could You Be without Your Virtual Social Life?

C. It wanted students to avoid social media for a week.
D. It was the first experiment of its kind to be conducted.

A. staff B. students C. rules D. phones
Question 47. The word temptation in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. tiredness B. desire C. effort D. recognition
Question 48. The word tough in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. challenging B. simple C. popular D. equal
A. The Social Experiment was carried out by two high school teachers.
B. Mitchell wanted to make a change to students’ addiction to social media.
C. El ZeinIt was permitted to keep her mobile phone during the experiment.
D. Ed Wytovicz did different activities to keep him distracted from social media.
A. Ed Wytovicz’s parents encouraged him to do some household chores.
B. Cole Sweeten ultimately couldn’t resist the urge to use his phone.
C. El ZeinIt had spent lots of her time with her phone before the experiment.
D. Trent Mitchell and Marty Ballew were both addicted to social media.

Do you ever speak with your mouth full of food? Do you forget to cover your mouth with your hand
when you sneeze? If you are guilty of these ‘crimes’, then perhaps you should enrol on an Etiquette and
Social Skills course. This is not just an ordinary course. It’s a course in manners. You will have lessons
in good manners and how to behave in social situations.
The person who teaches these lessons is Maggie O’Farrill at the Petite Protocol School, and her
students are aged between six and twelve years old. She thinks this is the best time to teach kids. “At this
age they are very easy”, O’Farrill says. “When they get older, it’s harder for them to break bad habits.
Children at this age want to be polite. You can see that they’re trying.” Maggie instructs the children to
speak properly on the phone and walk correctly, as well as telling them about basic table manners. These
classes have become popular because parents want well-behaved children but they are too busy to teach
manners at home.
So, what do the children actually think of this course? The classes have proven to be popular with most
of the children, and the teachers at school have noticed that the youngsters are treating each other with
more respect. They also feel the skills they have learnt will be useful to them in the future. Maggie
O’Farrill herself believes that such skills can be life-changing. “We’ll have children growing up who
value manners. Maybe we’ll see a change in direction for the better in society”. That, however, remains
to be seen. Only time will tell.”

When Mark Wright told his son Joe, 15, he was taking him on a trip - but that he had to leave his
computer behind for a week – Joe was horrified. Like many parents, Wright had become exasperated by
his son’s ‘addiction' to computer games and decided it was time to do some father-son bonding, away
from electronic devices. The trip achieved its goal, at least for as long as it lasted. Joe admits that he forgot
about the internet after a couple of days. But when they got home, Joe was back on the laptop and the
family arguments over computer use continued.
Barnaby Lenon, former headmaster of Harrow school, shone a spotlight on the problem. He said that
many teenagers – especially boys – had become ‘addicted’ to computers and that this was affecting their
development: ‘Children spend far too long on computers and as a result they are not doing the two things
that we want them to do, which are reading and talking.’ Lenon, now chairman of the Independent Schools
Council, says it is not only educational attainment but family relationships that are being damaged by
allowing children too much time on computers. ‘The amount of time families spend together is dropping
rapidly and we ought to be worried about that, as children need conversation to learn to interpret facial
expressions as part of their development,’ says Dr Aric Sigman, a psychologist who has written a report
for the European parliament on the impact of computer use on children.
Lenon suggests that parents limit computer use to an hour or two a day. He also says they should not
buy smartphones or other handheld devices for children until they are at least 15 years old. He would like
to see schools setting guidelines for computer use above and beyond that needed for homework. Sigman
goes further and suggests the government should issue advice on time spent using computers or watching
television. “Screen time needs to be regarded as just another form of consumption that we measure in
units per day,” he says. “It seems odd to me that the government gives guidance on our eating patterns
yet there is nothing on our children's main leisure activity even though it may be harmful.”
The bear-hunting trip inspired Wright to devise other trips to take parent and child out of their normal
environment and encourage communication, even if only for a short time. But for those who can't afford
or can't face a trip to the wilderness as an antidote to Facebook, Xbox and the rest, there seems to be no
alternative to that old parental standby – nagging.
Question 44. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Getting Rid of Your Gadgets: For Better or Worse?
B. Fascinating News: Technology Shapes Our Mind!
C. Take a Break from the 21st Lifestyle
D. Computer Addiction: Time for Change!
Question 45. The word exasperated in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. incredibly pleased B. extremely annoyed
C. obviously optimistic D. fairly frightened
Question 46. According to paragraph 1, what is said about the Wrights?
A. Their family goes on a few trips each year.
B. Their son rejected the idea of travelling to a far-flung area at first.
C. There was an unresolved conflict between Mark Wright and his son.
D. Their son finds playing computer games really captivating.
Question 47. The word their in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. children B. families C. computers D. expressions
Question 48. The word odd in paragraph 3 mostly means ________.
A. typical B. unusual C. complex D. tiring
A. Joe couldn’t overcome his addiction to computers after the trip.
B. The number of girls addicted to computers is surprisingly higher than that of boys.
C. That children spend too much time on computers can pose a threat to family bonds.
D. Using electronic devices can stop us from developing important skills.
A. Eating habits should be given priority in the hope of creating a healthy society.
B. Both Lenon and Sigman require that the government suggest how much screen time is safe.
C. The bear-hunting trip made the Wrights established a close rapport among family members.
D. Parents normally resort to complaining when their children spend too much time on computers.

Arriving in Freiburg by train, you might notice the solar panelled towers of the station building. These
solar panels are everywhere; on the football stadium, hotels, the conference centre, and even a factory.
With 1,800 hours of sunshine per year, solar power is the main source of energy in Freiburg, making it
one of the most ecologically friendly cities in the world. In fact, some say that Freiburg generates nearly
as much solar power as the whole of the UK.
In Freiburg it all began in the 1970s, when local people were strongly against plans for a nuclear power
station nearby. The historic centre has been car-free since 1973, with over 400 km of cycle paths!
However, it is the modern residential districts on the outskirts which most interest environmentalists. In
the area called Rieselfeld, residents live in small blocks of south-facing flats called ‘passive houses’. The
design of these houses keeps them warm or cool, without needing central heating or air conditioning at
all. The houses cost around 10% more to build, but over many years they cut energy bills and energy loss
by 90%. Vauban is another quiet area, with solar panels everywhere and a large number of passive houses.
It’s a safe, clean area. It’s busy, but with people and bicycles instead of vehicles. Officially, only one
person in four has a car and it costs around 18,000 euros a year to keep one outside town, in a 'solar-
garage'.
In Freiburg, being green is part of the economy, and local people buy shares in different green projects,
for example the solar football stadium. Not surprisingly, this remarkable eco-city has won many awards
and other German cities are now competing to become more eco-friendly. So why aren't more countries
around the world doing the same?
(Adapted from Gateway by Annie Cornford and Frances Watkins)
A. The Future of a Big City B. No Energy, No Life!
C. A Green City D. Initiatives to Go Green

D. They’re designed to keep people safe from diseases.
Question 42. The word interest in paragraph 2 mostly means _______.

Every day we face challenges at school, work or in our personal lives, and we need to develop the
skills to deal with them. Computer skills, for example, are vital for most activities we carry out in our
daily lives as well as helping you with studying. When we are young, we are able to learn basic social
skills but there are other important skills that can be more challenging to acquire. Surprisingly, video
games can often help us to master these.
For example, there are many video games which can help us to develop problem-solving skills. Some
games help develop patience and perseverance skills by continuing to increase the level of difficulty.
They constantly place obstacles in your path until you reach the solution. As a result of playing these
games, players can develop confidence, as being able to overcome the obstacles gives you a real sense of
achievement. Patience, perseverance and overcoming difficulties are three essential skills in everyday life.
As humans we often learn through mistakes, however some mistakes would be best avoided. Video
games can expose you to making decisions in the virtual world by allowing you to choose your characters'
actions and then showing you the results of these actions. This may help you make more informed choices
in the real world.
However beneficial these games may be, there are things to remember. Too much screen time can
isolate you from the real world and if you play multi-player games online, then you need to be sure who
you are playing with. It's also vital to make sure that you are not running up a huge bill in games that you
pay for online.
Links between schools and video games developers have resulted in more games focused on
developing life skills. The not-for-profit organisation, Makerspace, has developed an education
programme based around games in conjunction with Minecraft. The programme claims that 30 minutes
of video play in the classroom can improve planning skills, memory and motor skills. As well as
developing life skills, having excellent computer skills could also help you with a future career. So, play
on and learn two valuable lessons at the same time.

Two years ago, our flat was full of stuff. My husband and I couldn't find anything. We couldn't close
the cupboards or drawers. It was awful. So we went minimalist: we sold or gave away the things which
we hardly ever used. As a result, our book collection went from 300 down to six, we gave away kitchen
equipment, clothes (including my wedding dress) and even sold on eBay the Olympic torch that I ran with
in the 2010 Winter Olympics Torch Relay.
Getting rid of stuff was hard. It took time, effort and difficult decisions. But I realized quickly that I
can easily live without things. And it's good to know our stuff is now with people who need it. Our home's
easy to clean. Everything's easy to find. Choosing clothes in the morning is easy as my wardrobe is the
size of a suitcase.
Modern digital technology has helped. We gave away our CDs and now keep our music on the
computer. Our photos fit into three albums. We keep the rest online. I've changed my shopping habits too.
Now, when I buy something, I ask myself, "Do I need this?" As a result, I've saved lots of money.
Some friends think our new lifestyle's wonderful. Others worry because they think our life isn't
enjoyable any more. But we have more time now for important things like family and travelling.
Therefore, we're happier than before. I still have nice things, but just one of everything. I love my
possessions more, since there aren't too many of them. But most importantly, I use everything I have.
A. A Day of a Minimalist B. Stuff-free Lifestyle
C. Back to the Ancient History D. Living with Less
Question 40. According to paragraph 1, what did the author say about her flat?
A. It was always in a terrible mess. B. She sold it two years ago.
C. There was too much stuff inside it. D. It was put for sale on eBay.

A. suitcase B. wardrobe C. technology D. stuff
Question 42. The word enjoyable in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. affordable B. impressive C. pleasurable D. expensive
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned, according to the passage?
A. The author now uses modern technology to store her music.
B. The author decided to get rid of some of her valuable items.
C. The author is satisfied with leading a minimalist lifestyle.
D. The author has stopped buying beautiful and expensive stuff.
I could hear noises from the kitchen and I felt very proud. I was having my kitchen cupboards emptied
and cleaned out by my 11-year-old son. When the job was over, he called me down to see it. He looked a
little uncomfortable before telling me in a businesslike manner, 'Do you think it's worth five pounds?' I
paid him, but grumpily, only after accusing him of employing the same tactics as people who clean your
windscreen at traffic lights and then ask for money. At least it showed enterprise - earning and saving
money to buy something he wants. But can enterprise and the getting of money coexist with family values?
Kate, a single working mum of three older teenagers, says she tried to offer money for chores, but
didn't offer enough. Suzanne, a mother of three girls with big age gaps between them, says: ‘I have paid
my kids for babysitting because I'd have to pay someone else to do this. I wouldn't pay for other jobs
because I think they should do them as a contribution to family life. But I don't think that it should just be
about cash - give and take in a family is about caring and not money.'
It's about caring and money. The difficulty is in working out the right balance. Professor Frank Furedi,
the author of Paranoid Parenting, says, 'Anything that helps children understand that there is a relationship
between effort and outcome is to be welcomed, so paying children for jobs makes sense. Although it is
important not to place too much focus on financial incentives.' Sue Palmer, the author of Detoxing
Childhood, says, 'In our society, we often see the worth of people according to how much they earn and
we are inclined to think that something isn't worth doing unless it's paid.'
How can this be a good message to pass on to the kids? 'It's important that children learn that money
doesn't grow on trees, that you have to earn it,' says Palmer. 'However, there are jobs that everyone should
do with the agreement that nobody gets paid for doing them, that everyone shares responsibility.' Karen
Sullivan, a parenting expert, says: 'Children should take responsibility for themselves and their
belongings, so clearing up toys, games and clothes is a given.' She added that they shouldn't expect to
have their room tidied or their bed made for them. But when does all this start? The idea of contributing
to the household, not for money, but for helping, should begin early, according to Palmer. 'It does have to
start very young, when they love to help, but they are not actually helping but slightly irritating you. It's
worth encouraging that.'
A. Lend a Helping Hand to your Parents
B. Should Parents Pay Kids for Chores?
C. Doing Housework Just for Pocket Money
D. Do Money and Family Values Coexist?
Question 45. The word enterprise in paragraph 1 mostly means _______.

A. ability to think creatively B. uncertainty of the consequences
C. willingness to do D. eagerness to taste
Question 46. According to paragraph 1, the writer’s son _________.
A. often complain about doing domestic chores
B. regularly gets paid for helping her with housework
C. was willing to help her do the household chores
D. did a chore before discussing payment with her
Question 47. The phrase working out in paragraph 3 mostly means _______.
A. finding an answer to B. changing the habit of
C. doing a calculation of D. changing the attitude towards
A. kids B. belongings C. jobs D. trees
A. Frank Furedi is worried that money might be too important when it comes to doing housework.
B. Kate thought that her children didn’t get paid properly for all the household chores they did.
C. Sue Palmer doesn’t agree with the notion that children should get paid for doing family chores.
D. Suzanne opines that kids should do household chores on their own without being paid.
A. Parents should encourage their kids to share housework with them with a little pay.
B. Too young children who try to help in the house actually add more pressure to parents.
C. Sue Palmer and Karen Sullivan share the idea that children should do some unpaid jobs at home.
D. Children should be taught how to earn money through housework from an early age.

‘Who killed President Lincoln?’ and ‘Where is the Sargasso Sea?’. It was difficult to answer the questions
and only a few people managed to pass the test. Nowadays we would ask: Is it really necessary to know
things like this if you want to work for an inventor?
Now, a hundred years later, employment tests are still used by companies, but are very different in
what they test. The way that companies recruit new staff has also changed. One recent trend in recruitment
is ‘gamification’. Gamification, in general, means using characteristics of games (e.g. scoring points,
competing with others and rules of play) to add some fun to situations that are usually more serious. One
of the first companies which has used gamification to recruit new staff is the cosmetics company, L'Oréal.
L'Oréal created an online computer game called Reveal, where you try to solve real-life problems in a
virtual environment. The best players were invited for an interview.
Another company, the international hotel group Marriott, developed a Facebook game, My Marriott
HotelTM to attract young people to a career in the hotel industry. In the game, players managed a virtual
hotel kitchen. The game could be played in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Mandarin. It was
designed to recruit staff in markets outside the USA. The game was a great success and brought thousands
of people to the Marriott Facebook career page. Experts believe gamification is likely to become so
common in recruitment that perhaps we should all train as game designers!

If you go walking in the hills of La Gomera, you might be lucky enough to hear local people
communicating in Silbo Gomero. Silbo is unique in that it is whistled, not spoken. Anybody who hasn't
heard of the language could easily confuse it with birdsong. La Gomera is a tiny Spanish island, just the
tip of a volcano sticking out of the sea, off the coast of north-west Africa. Its steep hills and deep ravines
make it difficult to cross. Whistling is perfect for communicating here, as whistles can be heard from up
to seven kilometres away.
Silbo comes from the Spanish silbar meaning 'to whistle', and Gomero means 'from La Gomera'. When
the first European settlers arrived at La Gomera in the 15th century, the islanders - of North African origin
– were already communicating with whistles. When the Spanish arrived, the locals adapted the whistling
language to Spanish.
Silbo consists of four vowels and four consonants which can be whistled in different ways to make
over 4,000 words. A finger is placed in the mouth to create a stronger whistle and the other hand is cupped
next to the mouth to control its direction. In the 1950s, economic difficulties forced many whistlers to
emigrate from La Gomera. This, the growing road network and, later, the development of mobile phones
all contributed to the decline of Silbo.
In 1999, in an attempt to prevent the language from becoming completely extinct, Silbo was made a
compulsory subject in La Gomera's primary schools. In 2009, the language was awarded the UNESCO
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity designation. Some locals disapprove of this, saying it is a
peasant language that should be left to die out. Others believe it should be preserved as it is part of the
islanders' cultural identity. They also argue that in much of the island you cannot depend on telephone
coverage, so it is an essential form of communication.

A. The Extinction of an Ancient Language
B. Attempts to Bring a Dead Language Back to Life!
C. Whistling: The Emblem of Peace on An Unusual Island

Question 45. The word unique in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. special B. careful C. confusing D. understandable
Question 46. According to paragraph 1, why is Silbo Gomero ideal for communicating in La Gomera?
A. Because some of the locals have hearing impairments.
B. Because members of other tribes can be puzzled when hearing it.
C. Because it’s difficult to travel across the island to speak to someone.
D. Because whistling can help send warning signals to other people.
Question 47. The word adapted in paragraph 2 mostly means _______.
A. compared B. repaired C. described D. adjusted
Question 48. The word its in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. finger B. whistle C. mouth D. hand
A. Students at La Gomera’s primary schools are obliged to speak Silbo all the time.
B. The African inhabitants started to speak Silbo after the Spanish arrived in the 15th century.
C. The decline of Silbo can be partly attributed to the prevalence of using mobile phones.
D. Different sounds of Silbo can be whistled to convey the same meaning.
A. The locals in La Gomera are divided on the preservation of the ancient language of Silbo.
B. The award given by UNESCO contributed to the success of reviving Silbo.
C. The use of mobile phones is quite reliable on the island of La Gomera.

Two years ago, Yinan Wang was a student at a school in Beijing, China. Then his father got a job at
an aerospace company near London, so the whole family moved from Beijing to London. Yinan Wang
continued his studies at a very large secondary school near their home.
When he arrived in England, Yinan Wang could only speak a few words of English. ‘At first I was
very lonely', he says. 'I couldn't speak to anyone, so I couldn't make friends.' However, his teachers could
see that he was very intelligent. In fact, he was a genius. He was especially good at mathematics and
science.
Now, two years later, Yinan Wang is going to Oxford University to study science. At the age of 14, he
is one of the youngest students to study at this famous university. However, his schoolteachers think he
will have no problems. One teacher says, 'He had special classes in English and he is now fluent. He also
recently got 98% in a university maths exam.'
Yinan Wang is not the first child to go to Oxford University. Ruth Lawrence was only 13 when she
went to Oxford to study mathematics. However, are young teenagers really mature enough for university?
Many universities do not take students below the age of 17 or 18. People say they cannot enjoy university
life. Other people disagree and say that very clever children should not wait.
(Adapted from New Headway Academic Skills by Richard Harrison)
A. Talent Doesn’t Count!
B. Too Young for Oxford?
C. Learning Programmes for Oxford Students
D. University Life of a Young Boy

Question 41. The word genius in paragraph 2 mostly means a person who ________.
A. is only good at science subjects B. has rare natural ability
C. is very determined and hard-working D. has lots of healthy habits
Question 42. The word they in paragraph 4 refers to _________.
A. university students B. universities
C. young teenagers D. people
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT true about Yinan Wang according to the passage?
A. He is the first child to study at Oxford at that young age.

D. He is among the young students to study at Oxford University.
Timothy Scott was leisurely leafing through a local newspaper when he saw a small advert for a
'concrete reservoir for sale'. A few months later, along with his wife, Sarah, he is about to become one of
the few Brits who live below the earth. The couple, known locally as the moles', have decided to go
underground not just because they want one of the most unusual homes in Britain, but for good ecological
reasons too.
The first time the couple climbed down a dangerous old iron ladder to inspect the inside of the
reservoir, they expected to descend into metres of mud and water. Instead, they found a sweet-smelling
10m by 20m space, 4m high. The massive concrete roof, and the earth above it, was supported by eight
large original brick pillars. ‘We knew immediately that it would make a wonderful home,’ says Timethy.
The couple have since used a special drill to cut three large square holes in the roof, which will soon
support three glass pyramids. These will be the main source of light and heat for the house. Natural light
will spread through glass walls to the three bedrooms, two bathrooms and kitchen off the central area.
“We expect virtually no heating bills,” Timothy says. “The surrounding earth and the inside of the
walls should provide an ample storage area for the solar energy we gain through the pyramids during the
day. The light coming in through them should create interesting lighting effects in the central living area
- and reduce the need for artificial light. We estimate that this will cut our electricity bills by at least a
third.”
Living underground, which is quite common in America, in parts of Spain and in China, has many
advantages for families. A considerable amount of money is saved on energy and maintenance bills, and
earth-sheltered homes are free from most forms of noise and have a low fire risk. What's more, they are
naturally protected from wind and draughts. Earth sheltering also provides greater security and at the same
time a building that will last a good 500 years. Building this way is also compatible with the new
conservationist methods. Society is going to have to look at energy usage, and underground homes can
be space-saving in a crowded country. To avoid living in 'shoe boxes' and to keep agricultural land green,
there is really only one way of building: underground.
However, according to Peter Carpentier, secretary of the British Earth Sheltering Association, who
lives in his own underground home, there are a few disadvantages. For instance, because there are so few
earth-sheltered homes in the UK, it is usually hard, although not impossible, to get planning permission.
When a lot of excavation is needed, building costs can be higher than for conventional homes, although
savings can be made in other ways.

Jamie Oliver wants to change peoples' lives and he is using food to do it. Oliver, a chef, is well-known
for sharing his secrets of cooking healthy food through his magazine, cookbooks, and television shows.
He is also changing lives through his Italian restaurant, Fifteen.
Fifteen started in London, England, as a place to train young adults to work in a kitchen. Oliver's idea
was to create a professional kitchen that can help young people get a fresh start and a chance to become
professional chefs.
Every September, a new group of 18- to 24-year-olds start work at Fifteen. When they start, they are
usually not qualified for a restaurant job, but that will change quickly. In the 12 months of training, the
student chefs study cooking at college and get hands-on training at the restaurant. Besides learning
kitchen skills, they learn the importance of using fresh ingredients and how to create their own recipes.
And their education doesn't stop with preparing and serving food. The students also learn how to manage
money and deal with difficult customers. Overall, the program encourages them to believe in themselves
and enables them to look forward to a future in the restaurant business.
The restaurant's name, Fifteen, comes from the number of students the restaurant had when it started
in 2002. Today, Oliver has three of these restaurants, and a few hundred students have finished the
program. Around 90 percent of the graduates are still working in the food industry. Some own restaurants
or work in some of the best kitchens around the world. Others are now starring in their own TV shows.
They're all great examples of what young people can do if they're given the opportunity and support.
(Adapted from Active Skills for Reading by Neil J Anderson)
A. An Unusual Recipe B. An Internship Programme
C. A Restaurant for Change D. Changing People’s Lives
Question 40. According to the passage, what is said about Jamie Oliver?

B. He has recently relocated to Italy to open his restaurant.
C. He used his restaurant in several cookbooks.
D. His secrets of cooking were passed down by his father.
Question 41. The word hands-on in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. complex B. unclear C. practical D. primary
A. skills B. students C. recipes D. customers
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?
A. Fifteen aimed to help young people who have experience in working in a kitchen.
B. There were 15 students working at Fifteen when it was opened in 2002.

D. Students at Fifteen are instructed to develop their own cooking recipe.
Everybody feels irritated by their siblings from time to time. Maybe your younger brother shows off
and behaves in an immature way when you invite your friends to your house. Or perhaps your
hardworking older sister gets a lot of praise from your parents, making you feel like you are not trying
hard enough. At times, your brother or sister can feel like your worst enemy. But your relationship can
improve greatly with a bit of effort and understanding.
Sibling relationships can be especially difficult for teenagers, who are experiencing many changes to
their preferences and personality. For example, you may now find some of the activities that you used to
enjoy doing with your younger brother childish or a waste of time. At times, the age difference can feel
bigger than it really is, and this can have a negative effect on your relationship. One way to solve this
problem is to make sure you continue to include your brother or sister in your day-to-day life. This can
take some time, so it is important to be patient and enthusiastic.
Of course, it is perfectly normal for brothers and sisters to fall out with one another over small things.
But you should not try to let incidents like these have too big an effect on your relationship. It is important
to learn to forgive your siblings for this kind of behaviour, just as you would forgive your close friends.
In situations like these, it is really important to let your sibling know how you feel. Rather than insulting
your sister when she takes your things, tell her that it makes you feel angry, and that you would feel much
happier if she asked you first. It’s also crucial that you are sensitive to the feelings of your siblings too.
Finally, it is important to learn how to compromise. It is understandable that you may not want to lend
your favourite jumper to your unreliable sister, but maybe you could offer her a less valuable alternative
item of clothing. Or if your brother likes to spend all his free time watching football and you find it boring,
you could suggest a different sport that you follow regularly together. And if you make the effort to make
your sibling happy, he or she will do the same for you.
(Adapted from Complete First for Schools by Guy Brook-Hart et al.)

Welcome to the International Express, the most international train journey in the world. Every day,
some of New York's three million immigrants take the Number 7 train from Queens to Manhattan and
each stop is like a different country. Get off at Flushing station and experience China, go to Corona and
you're in Mexico; the next stop is India at Jackson Heights. Many immigrants are from Latin America,
Eastern Europe, Africa or Asia. If you listen carefully, you can hear more than 100 different languages.
So why is this train so popular? A hundred years ago, most immigrants lived in Manhattan, but by
1910 Manhattan was overcrowded and life was very difficult. Then, in 1917, things improved, thanks to
a new train to a suburb called Queens. Immigrants moved out of the city because there was more space in
Queens, but they could still get to work in Manhattan.
These first immigrants came to New York to escape poverty and war, and to have a better life. Today,
people come for the same reasons. Manuela Garcia's family is typical. Her father, Tomas, came from
Mexico in 1986 and sold tacos from a small food stall next to Corona station. Tomas got through hard
times, saved his money and bought a bakery. Today the jukebox there plays Mexican songs and a satellite
TV shows Mexican TV programmes. 'We're proud of our culture, but the bakery is not just for Mexicans,'
says Tomas. 'We have Polish and Turkish customers, too. We all get on with each other.'
The train speeds past LaGuardia airport as the rain stops and the sun comes out. Manuela looks out of
the window and watches the planes take off. People are getting away to experience the world. Manuela
smiles. She doesn't need to go to faraway countries - the world is right there on the Number 7 train.
(Adapted from Insight by Jayne Wildman and Fiona Beddall)

Amy Carter-James is small, blue-eyed and blonde, with a friendly smile. She doesn't look like she could
change the lives of thousands of people but, remarkably, she has. It all started when Amy took a gap year
in Africa after she finished university. 'I spent eight months volunteering in a very poor rural school in
Kenya,' she says. 'That was the first time I saw poverty, I was so young and so easily inspired and I
thought, "Why can't tourism do the same thing for community development?"
On her return to England, twenty-two-year-old Amy and her boyfriend Neal decided to drive across
Mozambique, one of the poorest countries in Africa, but it wasn't exactly a holiday. Mozambique had two
qualities which appealed to them: great potential as a travel destination and local people who desperately
needed help. Once there, the couple got off the beaten track and headed for Quirimbas National Park,
where they found a tiny stretch of white sand close to a village called Guludo. Life in Guludo was hard:
there was little clean water and not enough food. Healthcare was poor and people in the village had a life
expectancy of thirty-eight years. Amy and Neal had no qualifications in tourism or healthcare but they
had common sense, enthusiasm and determination. They talked to the villagers about their plan to create
a small beach resort which would provide employment for people and lift families out of poverty.
The couple set to work on a beach lodge, building beach huts from local materials and employing
people from the surrounding area. Once the lodge was complete, they set up a charitable foundation called
NEMA, which received 5% of its revenue. This money was used to create clean water points, fund
healthcare projects, build two primary schools and support conservation projects - it helped to improve
the lives of thousands of people. Today the lodge has nine 'bandas', or beach huts, with beautiful sea
views. There are no overpriced souvenir shops and other tourist traps. It's the perfect place to take time
out, escape the crowds and soak up the sun. Visitors can see the sights - explore Ibo island with a tour
guide, go scuba diving or observe African wildlife at the Mogandula Bush Lookout.
But the highlight for many is getting to know people in the village, taking part in festivals and learning
about NEMA's work. People like Amy and Neal believe that the tourist industry can do much good in the
world and Guludo Lodge is leading the way, winning many awards for its responsible tourism. Back in
the village, people are talking about NEMA. In the local dialect, it's a word with a special meaning. 'It's
difficult to explain,' says Amy, 'but it means that kind of hope that accompanies the end of suffering.'

Is intimate friendship a relationship that is dying out in modern society? In our busy lives, we have
many acquaintances and friends - the people we work with, our neighbours, the people we chat to at the
local shop and so on. But how many really close friendships can we count? The truth for most of us is
probably not many. Some psychologists say that while we still value strong family bonds, in recent times,
friendships have lost the strength and importance that they had in the past.
According to a study published recently in the USA, friendships in America have been declining in
quality and quantity since at least 1985. The study claims that 25% of Americans don’t have anyone they
could call a close friend. Yet, on the surface, Americans seem extremely friendly people. If you have ever
visited the USA, you will be familiar with the warmth and hospitality that they show to complete
strangers. Everyone can be treated as a ‘buddy’, even if they are just a casual acquaintance.
But in other cultures, acquaintances and friendships have different qualities. In France, for example,
when you are trying to get to know a person, they may seem rather unfriendly and the length of time it
takes to form a strong friendship seems greater than in other countries. This is because for the French
there is still a clear distinction between a casual acquaintance and a true friend. Although France is
changing and perhaps becoming more like America, there is no doubt that French people are still more
private in their friendships and that they reserve real intimacy for their closest friends. This intimacy can
be found in many other non-western cultures too, where great importance is attached to the quality of
friendships. It is something that many of us in the West have forgotten and need to rediscover.

Wagner Iworrigan, a seventeen-year-old high school senior on St. Lawrence Island in Alaska, knows
a lot about biology, meteorology and maths. On a recent unseasonably warm day last autumn, he missed
class to join his uncle on their boat. Wagner might make a good scientist, but he’s not planning on going
to college. He feels a responsibility for his siblings - his mother died and his father lives in another village
- and college is ‘so far from home’. He’s also unclear about what he would do with a degree.
Many St. Lawrence students say they want to go to college but half of them drop out of high school,
and only two per cent graduate from college. The benefits of a degree are not obvious for people living
on this remote island. Families have a subsistence lifestyle, hunting walruses, seals and whales in the
spring, and gathering berries in the summer. The largest employer is the school system; otherwise, there
are only a handful of jobs in fishing, oil and the airlines that connect the island to the mainland. There
isn’t much demand for anything else and more than a quarter of adults are unemployed.
Many people feel that the educational programs are too stifling, not allowing students to go beyond
the curriculum, with little connection to the real world. ‘We want our children to achieve academically,
but we need to be able to design programs that deal with the challenges they face day-to-day,’ said one
teacher. Those challenges are profound with no easy solutions. Families also worry that sending children
away to study in Higher Education could endanger the language and culture. Already, the younger
generation is losing its fluency and grasp of skills like sewing, walrus-ivory carving and fish-cutting.
Respect for the old ways and knowledge of traditions are disappearing. Can the community send more
students to university without sacrificing its desire to preserve Native culture and language?
Unsurprisingly, locals are protective of their independence and their heritage. They recognize the value
of ‘education’, but feel that the definition is too narrow. ‘I think about when my grandmother taught me
to cut fish,’ remembers one resident. ‘It wasn't do it once and I'll give you a grade. It was hours of practice
until you get it right …’

Some people love cities, and other people hate them. But more people than ever are choosing to live
in one. Cities will be bigger than ever. A megacity is a city with a population of over 10 million people.
Megacities around the world face the same problems: traffic and housing. São Paulo, Brazil, is a good
example. "There are 30 million daily trips in São Paulo," says Jorge Wilheim, a city official. "One-third
is public transport, one-third is private cars, and one-third is walking. Sixty to seventy percent should be
on public transportation." The city is building a new freeway and adding to the subway system, but it's
slow work. Every day, millions of people are sitting in traffic jams.
Housing is also a serious problem for the 18 million people in São Paulo. Most of the jobs are
downtown, and houses and apartments are very expensive there. So workers live in cheaper places far
away from their jobs and commute for many hours. And many new residents can't find any housing for
their families, so they live in slums. These are places where people find empty land and build small huts.
Ilson da Silva is one man who has done this. When he came to the city six years ago, he didn't have a
job. He built a one-room hut next to a garbage dump. Now he works as a janitor, and his house has three
rooms and a flower garden. The government has brought in running water and electricity, and the slum is
becoming a real neighborhood. For Ilson, and for millions of other people, megacities mean hope for a
better future.
(Adapted from World English by Kristin Johannsen and Rebecca Tarver Chase)
A. São Paulo – A city of the Future B. Overpopulation in Big Cities
C. Problems Faced by Megacities D. Daily Life of a Megacity
Question 40. According to paragraph 2, what is said about São Paulo?

A. There are about 30 million trips made monthly in São Paulo.
B. People in São Paulo prefer to use public transportation.
C. Traffic congestion is quite prevalent in the city.
D. The city’s subway system runs quite efficiently.
Question 41. The word serious in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. difficult B. typical C. common D. convenient
A. families B. new residents C. workers D. slums
A. An increased number of people are choosing to escape from city life.
B. Ilson da Silva owned a large building next to a garbage dump.
C. Poor workers have to make long daily journeys to their workplaces.
D. Slums in São Paulo disappeared thanks to the government’s efforts.
Ask any science fan about the future and they will most definitely tell you that it will be full of flying
cars - where drivers may become optional! Many researchers, scientists and engineers see personal air
transport as the inevitable solution to the problem of congested roads or airports that suffer from delays.
At first, it was a dream to combine a car with an aeroplane. However, a flying car was considered to
be too heavy, costly to design and inefficient. Another problem was that you had to be a pilot with a
certified licence in order to fly one. Now, with modern lightweight materials and computer technology, a
number of inventors and small companies are working on their own individual versions of flying cars,
which they hope will dramatically change air travel.
Paul Moller, Chief Executive of Moller International and developer of the flying skycar M400, spent
40 years and millions of dollars designing, building and testing the personal aircraft. Technically speaking,
this flying car is known as a 'volantor', which is defined as a vertical take-off and landing aircraft that is
capable of flying quickly and easily.' This allows the flying car to be flexible like a helicopter without
losing the speed of a fast aircraft. It runs on petrol, diesel, alcohol or propane and its fuel consumption is
comparable to that of a medium-sized car. This model has been tested to guard against accidents. Mr
Moller states that his flying car is able to fly from airports and heliports. However, in the future it will be
possible to land at 'vertiports', which will include fields, parking lots, private properties, shopping centres
or skyscraper roofs.
The benefits of this new technology will be quite remarkable. Firstly, the effect on the environment
will be of maximum importance, as flying cars will reduce air and noise pollution levels considerably.
People will be free of traffic jams and will have more flexible lifestyles and travel times. When these
vehicles become popular, then people will have freedom of choice between rural and urban lifestyles, as
they will be able to live in a village near a small airport and fly to their workplace in the city hundreds of
miles away.
Whatever the future holds, it seems very likely that our children will be 'volanting' from small airports
or 'vertiports' instead of breathing harmful exhaust fumes. However, it will be decades before the ordinary
consumer is able to afford this technology.

In recent years, more and more people have been working to help the environment. For Hollywood
celebrities, being green and possessing environmentally friendly accessories is the latest trend. Famous
actors like Cameron Diaz, George Clooney and Brad Pitt have all become green.
However, it's actress Daryl Hannah who is probably the best-known environmentalist in Hollywood.
She's been campaigning for environmental issues for years and has completely changed her way of life.
The accomplished actress, writer, director and producer has made more than 40 films, and has appeared
with actors like Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks and John Malkovich. She’s also worked with top directors
such as Oliver Stone and Quentin Taratino. However, although Daryl is a big Hollywood star, the usual
luxuries are generally unimportant in her life. She's more interested in looking after the world around her.
It may seem idealistic, but she wants to save the planet.
Unlike other big celebrities, Daryl has lived a simple life for many years and she's cut back on any
unnecessary luxuries. She doesn't own a private jet. She doesn't even like flying, preferring to take the
train whenever she can. You might say that Daryl's weakness is her love of classic cars. She has an old
69 Buick Skylark and a Trans Am parked on her ranch. However, she has no intention of using them until
they have been converted into environmentally friendly vehicles. In the meantime, she's content to drive
a truck that runs on biodiesel, and is planning to grow sunflowers on her farm so that she can produce her
own biodiesel from the oil the plants produce. She has the ambition of becoming totally self-sufficient,
and it seems she's almost achieved her dream.

Monday 30 December 2013 was a tragic day for the people of the Chickasaw Nation. It was the day
on which a 93-year-old member of the tribe called Emily Johnson Dickerson passed away. But Emily
wasn't just any old member of the tribe. She was the last remaining monolingual speaker of the Chickasaw
language. Through her death, the tribe lost not only a beloved member of their extended family, but also
a valuable source of knowledge about their language and culture.
The Chickasaw Nation is made up of around 57,000 people, most of whom live in the thirteen areas of
Oklahoma, USA. Their land is largely rural, but much of their way of life is modern. Some of the
traditional Chickasaw customs have died out, such as native folk medicine. But others have continued,
like the role of women as the head of the family and the community. The Chickasaw people are determined
that their language should also continue.
The language of the Chickasaws, known as 'Chikashshanompa', has been in existence for well over
three thousand years, but it is now in danger of disappearing. Young Chickasaws sent to government
boarding schools in the past were discouraged from speaking their language and were obliged to learn
English to negotiate with people outside the tribe. This led to the number of native speakers falling. Which
is where the Chickasaw Language Revitalisation Programme comes in.
The aim of the programme is to keep the culture, language and oral traditions of the tribe alive, and it
is using cutting-edge technology to do this. First, there is Chickasaw TV, an online network with a channel
dedicated to learning the Chickasaw language through lessons, songs, games and stories. Then, there’s a
website for children where they can learn more about Chickasaw history, people, culture and language
through interactive games and activities.
According to Joseph Hinson, director of the Department of Chickasaw Language, the Chickasaw are
'a pretty hard-headed, persistent people.' And if history is anything to go by, he isn’t wrong. The fifty-
thousand-year-old indigenous Native American tribe has survived the Conquistadores, numerous wars
with Europeans, the American Civil War, and compulsory removal from their native lands... and they're
still here. One can only hope that the massive effort the tribe is putting into preserving their language
succeeds, so that Chikashshanompa is not lost to the world forever.
(Adapted from 3rd Edition Solutions Workbook by Tim Falla et al)
A. In an Effort to Preserve an Ancient Language
B. The Extinction of an Old Language
C. An Ancient Tribe in Danger of Collapse!
D. Using Technology to Bring a ‘Dead’ Language Back to Life!
Question 45. According to paragraph 1, why did the death of Emily Johnson Dickerson cause worry?
A. There was no one else old enough to lead the tribe.
B. She was the most fluent speaker of the Chickasaw language in the tribe.
C. It could pose a risk to the disappearance of the Chickasaw language and culture.
D. It was regarded as a big loss to the world of linguistics.
Question 46. The word others in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. people B. customs C. women D. areas
Question 47. The word obliged in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. motivated B. forced C. prevented D. advised
Question 48. The phrase dedicated to in paragraph 4 mostly means ________.
A. specifically designed for B. randomly selected for
C. considerably improved for D. carefully checked for
A. Women are no longer in charge of the family or the community in the Chickasaw Nation.
B. The language of the Chickasaws is threatened with extinction.
C. The Chickasaw Language Revitalisation Programme wants to protect the ancient language.
D. Children now can learn more about the Chickasaw language via the Internet.
A. The programme to revive the Chickasaw language hasn’t achieved anything remarkable.
B. Joseph Hinson is pessimistic about the likelihood of preserving the Chickasaw language.
C. It remains to be seen whether the Chickasaw language can be preserved or not.

Base 34 is a new garage in Montpeillier, in the south of France. Customers who take their cars there
for repairs may be surprised to find that all the employees are women.
When Hervé Malige advertised for women who wanted to become mechanics, he received 120
applications. After tests and interviews, he chose fifteen. They included a nurse, a secretary, a beauty
therapist and two flight attendants. They all wanted a chance to work in this traditionally male
environment. “I think a lot of people instinctively trust women more,” he says. And female customers
might feel more comfortable with somebody who doesn't treat them as if they don't understand anything!
Although most car mechanics are still men, the situation is gradually changing. Men are starting to
leave the profession, and women are joining it. Why? In a word, technology. In the past, being a mechanic
was a physically tough and dirty job. Now, cars are much more complicated than they used to be. You
need patience and intelligence to work out what the problem is, not strength. Many people believe that
this makes the job more suitable for women than for men.
(Adapted from Aim High by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)
A. Women – the Real Architect of Our Society

Gregoris is 100 years old and, aside from appendicitis, has never known a day of illness in his life. He
has short-cropped white hair, a robustly handsome face and a bone-crushing handshake. He is known at
the café as a bit of a gossip and a joker, frequenting it twice a day. It's a 1km walk from his house over
uneven, sloping terrain. Not many people half his age manage that. In Ikaria, a Greek island in the
Mediterranean, such characters are not exceptional. With its beautiful caves, rocky cliffs, and steep
valleys, Ikaria looks similar to any number of other Greek islands. But there is one vital difference: people
here live on average 10 years longer than those in the rest of Europe and America - around one in three
live into their 90s.
Not only this, but Ikarians also have much lower rates of cancer and heart disease, suffer significantly
less depression and dementia, and remain physically active deep into their 90s. What is the secret of
Ikaria? What do its inhabitants know that the rest of us don't? Cardiologists found that the Ikarian diet,
which has been the subject of a number of scientific studies, features a lot of beans and not much meat or
refined sugar. The locals also feast on locally grown wild greens, which contain extremely high levels of
antioxidants, as well as potatoes and goat's milk. The Ikarians also drink a lot of herbal tea and small
quantities of coffee, unlike some other areas in the country. In addition, and quite importantly, research
suggests the Ikarian habit of taking afternoon naps may help extend life.
Another important factor is that nearly everyone grows their own food and there is also a strong
tradition of solidarity among Ikarians, yet they are far from wealthy. Nearly all elderly Ikarians have a
story of suffering, though few are keen to tell it. After the Second World War, the locals were determined
not to become depressed and remained grateful that nothing worse happened to them. In terms of
longevity, it was a wise stance. Family is a vital part of Ikarian culture and every old person I visited has
children and grandchildren actively involved in their lives.
Just before taking my leave, I walk to a village and ask a number of men in their 90s and 100s if they
do any keep-fit exercise. The answer is always the same: "Yes, digging the earth," says one man, a 93-
year-old who looks 20 years younger. Each morning he goes out at 8 am to feed his animals and tend his
garden. "I've never thought about getting old," he says. “I feel good. I feel 93, but on Ikaria that's OK."

A. The Secrets of a Happy Life B. Living on a Remote Island
st
C. Longevity in the 21 Century D. The Island of Long Life
Question 45. According to the passage, what is indicated about Gregoris?
A. He doesn’t suffer from any ailment.
B. He’s getting on a bit due to his illnesses.
C. His good health is considered the norm in Ikaria.
D. His house is surrounded by coffee shops.
Question 46. The word it in paragraph 1 refers to _________
A. gossip B. house C. terrain D. the café
Question 47. The phrase feast on in paragraph 2 mostly means ________
A. consume B. generate C. celebrate D. inject
Question 48. The word stance in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______
A. position B. understanding C. imagination D. inquiry
A. People in Ikaria are less likely to develop serious diseases than those in developed countries.
B. The geography of Ikaria is incompatible with any other Greek island in some respects.
C. Ikarians’ life expectancy may be increased thanks to short sleeps during the day.
D. Foods grown by Ikarians contain a particular substance which keeps them healthy.
A. High life expectancy of Ikarians can be largely attributed to the daily consumption of coffee.
B. Most Ikarians have the habit of digging the earth frequently to keep them healthy.
C. It is the decision to look on the bright side that mainly contributes to Ikarians’ long life.
D. Living on Ikaria means that all of the sufferings in the Second World War can be healed.

Deaf people should enjoy a play as much as the hearing audience. This is the thinking behind the
Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires that theatres become accessible to deaf people. Theatre
producers, on the other hand, are beginning to realise that such a feature makes their product attractive to
a wider audience - with considerable financial rewards.
Interpreted theatre usually takes place at two or three performances in a theatre season. Preference for
tickets is given to the deaf, but tickets are also sold to hearing people who are interested in seeing theatre
interpreters at work.
It is a colossal project for the interpreters. Ian Cox works for SeeTheatre, a Chicago-based association
of interpreters. He says, "for about a month we work with the support of a Sign Language consultant to
translate and rehearse an entire play. The workload is immense. Consider that each actor in the play has
about four weeks to rehearse his or her lines; we have to learn the whole play in as much time. And, when
interpreting musicals, where timing, rhythm and harmonies must be practised, the workload doubles."
The most important technical aspect of theatre interpretation for the deaf is the location of the
interpreter. Placement strategies can be categorised into three styles: ‘placed’, where interpreters are
located outside the acting space and do not move; ‘zoned’, where interpreters are within the acting space,
but usually move only during a change of scene or act; and, finally, ‘shadowed’, where interpreters move
freely within the acting space, shadowing the movement of the actors for whom they are interpreting.
(Adapted from Upstream by Virginia Evans and Bob Obee)
A. Career Prospects of an Interpreter B. Work behind the Scene
C. Theatre for the Deaf D. Acting Classes for the Disabled
Question 40. According to paragraph 2, what is said about interpreted theatre?

A. It sells tickets for deaf people and hearing audiences.
B. There are at least 3 performances in a theatre season.
C. Only qualified theatre interpreters are chosen for the job.
D. Many people are interested in seeing theatre interpreters.
Question 41. The word immense in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. equal B. tiring C. complex D. enormous
A. styles B. strategies C. interpreters D. actors
A. Theatre interpreters work with a sign language consultant for nearly one month.
B. Theatre producers are aware that interpreted theatre can bring big profits.
C. The position of a theatre interpreter on stage is the most important technical aspect.
D. The placement strategy of ‘zoned’ gives a theatre interpreter more flexibility on stage.
If you examined the birth certificates of every soccer player in a World Cup tournament, you would
find an unusual tendency: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born earlier in the year than
later. In recent English teams, for instance, half the elite teenage soccer players were born in January,
February or March. In Germany, fifty-two were born in the first three months, with just four players born
in the last three. What might account for this?
Swedish-born Anders Ericsson, a psychology professor at Florida State University, is leader of a group
of scholars trying to answer an important question: when someone is very good at something, what
actually makes them good? Early experiments by Ericsson suggested that the best way to learn was a
process known as ‘deliberate practice’! This is more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves
setting specific goals, getting immediate feedback and concentrating equally on technique and results.
Ericsson and his colleagues therefore began studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits,
from soccer and surgery to piano playing and software design. They've come to a rather startling
conclusion: practice really does make perfect. What we call ‘talent’ is highly overrated, as expert
performers are nearly always made, not born. The research also suggests that when it comes to choosing
a life path, you should do what you love. People often give up trying to do things they don't like, telling
themselves they simply don't possess the talent. But what they really lack is the will to succeed and to put
in the deliberate practice that would make them better. Ericsson's conclusions, if accurate, suggest that
students should follow their interests earlier in their schooling to build up experience and receive
meaningful feedback.
The insights of the researchers can explain the riddle of why so many elite soccer players are born
early in the year. Since youth sports are organised by age group, teams have a cut-off birth date. In the
European youth soccer leagues, the cut-off date is December 31. So when a coach is assessing two players
in the same age group, one born in January and the other in December, the player born in January is likely
to be bigger, stronger, more mature. Guess who the coach will pick. He may be mistaking maturity for
ability but once chosen, those January-born players are the ones who, year after year, receive the training,
the deliberate practice, the feedback - and have the accompanying self-esteem - that will turn them into
elite players.
(Adapted from English Unlimited by Alex Tilbury et al.)

In a recent internet survey, tourists and business travellers were asked to rate 50 cities around the world,
from the best to the worst. Of the top three cities, two were in Europe and one was in Australia.
In third place was London, scoring highly mainly because it was the most famous city on the list of 50
surveyed. It was also seen as a very good place to do business, and was an important cultural centre.
However, it lost points because people believed it was an extremely expensive place to live.
Sydney was also a very popular destination, achieving second place on the list because people believed
it had the friendliest inhabitants, as well as the best standard of living and the nicest climate. It failed to
make the top spot, however, because people thought there were very few things to see there, and many
also thought it was too far away from other business and cultural centres.
At the top of the list was Paris. Despite problems such as the large amount of traffic, it beat other cities
to first place because people considered it to be the most interesting city, with more museums, art galleries
and places of interest than anywhere else. People also thought it was the best city to take a holiday in.
(Adapted from Complete IELTS by Rawdon Wyatt)
A. A Survey with a Difference B. The Best Cities in the World
C. Life in the Happiest Country D. Problems Faced by Big Cities
Question 32. According to paragraph 1, what is indicated about the survey?

A. Its aim was to have a better understanding of city issues.
B. Those surveyed were required to evaluate different cities.
C. It was carried out online in 50 different cities in the world.
D. Those who participated in the survey were given gifts.
Question 33. The word it in paragraph 2 refers to __________.
A. place B. centre C. list D. London
Question 34. The word beat in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. avoid B. win C. lose D. cause
A. Some people might not live in London due to its high cost of living.
B. Paris was considered the most fascinating city among those surveyed.
C. One perceived drawback of Sydney was that there weren’t many things to see.
D. There are not as many tourist attractions in Paris as 50 countries surveyed.
You're trawling through job websites, and tailoring your applications to each job, but you still aren't
getting interviews. So when competition is so fierce, how do you stand out from the crowd? Make sure
you get the basics right first. Research the sections you should cover on your CV, for example, making
sure it's clearly and carefully presented and tailoring the CV to the role, then make sure it is interesting.
Avoid using business jargon and clichéd wording on a CV or letter of application - I am passionate about
thinking outside of the box, for instance - or long sentences. Instead, use vibrant but down-to-earth
vocabulary with concrete examples of how you meet the criteria.
If you're sending applications and getting nowhere, maybe sitting in front of your computer all day
isn't always the best use of your time. Journalism students, for instance, could try landing some work
experience with a TV news channel which would look impressive on a CV. Similarly, if you're aiming
for a creative role in PR, advertising, website design or copywriting, why not showcase your work on
your own website?
Companies spend a lot of money on branding, so it makes sense to focus on marketing yourself when
hunting for a job. What does this mean? Well, it's worth using business social networks as potential
employers often look for you here before offering you an interview.
Above all, you'll need perseverance, patience and a positive outlook while waiting for those elusive
interviews to roll in. Expect it to be tough, don't lose heart when you receive rejections and keep focused
on your ultimate goal. Your attitude will shine through and hopefully you'll get a job in no time!
(Adapted from On Screen by Jenny Dooley and Virginia Evans)
A. Why Employers are Changing the Recruitment Game
B. Don’t Lose Heart if You Aren’t Chosen!

Question 45. The word it in paragraph 1 refers to ________.

Question 46. The word landing in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.

Question 47. According to paragraph 1, which is said about your CV?
A. It’s not a good idea to do some online research before you write your CV.
B. Your CV should be designed in a both meticulous and interesting fashion.
C. You ought to use sophisticated language related to the job in your CV.
D. You should mention all job requirements that are met in your CV.
Question 48. The word perseverance in paragraph 4 mostly means _______.
A. loyalty B. determination C. quietness D. creativity
A. Sitting at a desk all day applying for a job may not always be the best way to land a job.
B. Journalists could try doing an internship with a local newspaper in order to bolster their CV.
C. Those looking to work in marketing could display their work via their own online platform.
D. Businesses are willing to invest heavily in improving their employees’ images and identities.
A. It is far from easy to be invited for a job interview in spite of your efforts.
B. Employers tend to look for potential candidates in a traditional way.

Social networking websites are growing and changing all the time. Although younger users might not
stay with one site for long, they still enjoy the concept, and a lot of their daily communication with friends
takes place on social media sites. They post photos, exchange news, post where they are having coffee
with their friends, and share their favourite music and videos. It's enjoyable, and it makes people feel
good.
Hanna Krasnova, an author of a study on social networking from Berlin's Humboldt University says,
'We were surprised by how many people have a negative experience from social networking, with envy
leaving them feeling lonely, frustrated or angry.' Envy of others' perfect lives isn't the only negative aspect.
Bullying, other people sharing your deepest secrets, and general embarrassment at seeing the worst photo
ever of yourself posted for all the world to see, can all be negative side effects of using social media.
There is also the issue of online addiction, which leaves many people unable to switch off their devices
for more than a few minutes without suffering from intense anxiety.
What can you do to make sure social media remains a positive experience? Probably the most
important thing is not to spend too much time on your digital life. Another point to keep in mind is that
your friends on social media should be real friends, not just acquaintances. You should only 'friend' people
you respect and get on well with. In the end, just like in real life, the number of friends you have doesn't
matter. It's the quality of the people close to you - even on social media - that is really important.
(Adapted from Oxford Exam Trainer by Gregory Manin)
A. Growing Up with Social Networks B. The Use of Social Networking Sites
C. Positive Aspects of Social Media D. The Negative Impacts of Social Media

paragraph 1?
A. People can have daily conversations with friends.
B. People can share the music and videos they like.
C. People can have coffee with their close friends.
D. People can post images and exchange news.
Question 42. The word intense in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. considerate B. similar C. usual D. extreme
A. Spending excessive time on social media can do harm to your relationships.
B. That many people have a negative experience from social media is predictable.
C. What matters is the number of close friends you have on social media.
D. Online addiction is one of the negative side effects of using social media.
Most scientists agree that global warming presents the greatest threat to the environment. There is little
doubt that the Earth is getting warmer. In the last century the average temperature rose about 0.6 degrees
C around the world. Many experts warn that global warming will cause sea levels to rise dramatically. In
the past 100 years the oceans have risen 10 to 20 cms - but that's nothing compared to what would happen
if, for example, Greenland's massive ice sheet were to melt.
Just as the evidence is clear that temperatures have risen in the last century, it's also well established
that carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere has increased about 30 percent, allowing the atmosphere to
trap too much heat. However, the exact link, if any, between the increase in carbon dioxide emissions and
the higher temperatures is still being disputed. Most scientists believe that humans, by burning fossil
fuels such as coal and petroleum, are largely to blame for the increase in carbon dioxide. But some
scientists also point to natural causes, such as volcanic activity.
The current rate of warming is faster than ever before, however, which suggests it probably is not a
natural occurrence. And a large number of scientists believe the rise in temperatures will, in fact, speed
up. A recent study suggested that Greenland's ice sheet will begin to melt if the temperature there rises by
three degrees C. That is something many scientists think is likely to happen in another hundred years. The
complete melting of the Greenland ice cap would raise sea levels by seven metres. Even a partial melting
would cause a one-metre rise. Such a rise would have a devastating impact on low-lying islands, such as
the Maldives, which would be entirely submerged.
Other scientists emphasise that such doomsday scenarios may be hundreds of years in the future. 'You
can't say with any certainty that sea-level rises are going to have a huge impact on society,' says Stouffer.
'Who knows what the planet will look like 5000 years from now?' Most climate scientists, however, agree
that global warming is a threat that has gone unchecked for too long. 'Is society aware of the seriousness
of climate warming? I don't think so,' says Marianne Douglas, professor of geology at the University of
Toronto. 'Otherwise we'd all be leading our lives differently. We'd see a society that used alternative
sources of energy, with less dependence on fossil fuels.'
(Adapted from Objective for IELTS by Michael Black and Wendy Sharp)
A. The Paradox of Climate Change B. Global Rising Temperature: What Can We Do?
C. A Disaster in the Making D. A Society with Less Reliance on Fossil Fuels
Question 45. According to paragraph 1, what is said about global warming?
A. It has been exacerbated by human activities.
B. It can lead to a considerable rise in sea levels.
C. It is the indirect cause of global ice melting.
D. It poses a real threat to the lives of humans.
Question 46. The word disputed in paragraph 2 mostly means ________.
A. thorough B. complicated C. disagreed D. supported
A. warming B. rate C. occurrence D. activity
Question 48. The word devastating in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. unimportant B. disastrous C. gradual D. temporary
A. Scientists are at loggerheads with each other over the causes of global warming.
B. If Greenland’s ice sheet melted, it would cause an unprecedented rise in sea level.
C. The Maldives could be completely displaced if sea level rose by one meter.
D. It remains to be seen whether carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere has increased.
A. People nowadays are still heavily dependent on non-renewable energy sources.
B. Stouffer and Marianne Douglas share the idea that global warming is unpredictable.
C. The disappearance of coastal cities can be the worst-case scenario of global warming.
D. Humans are increasingly aware of the serious consequences of climate warming.
