 One of the factors in global warming is carbon monoxide. The more carbon monoxide in the atmosphere,
the less the atmosphere is able to clean itself. The result is a warming of the atmosphere, the so-called global
warming, and possibly ozone damage.
Earlier, it was found that carbon monoxide was concentrated in the Southern Hemisphere, and could be attributed
to deforestation. Huge areas of forest and grasslands in South America and Africa have been burned, putting
carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. Recently, however, the Southern Hemisphere has been found to be clean,
while the Northern Hemisphere is more polluted than expected.
The latest research was done during the northern winter. The high levels in the Northern Hemisphere could be
because of this. In winter carbon monoxide is destroyed more slowly. There are also more fires burned in winter,
and possibly industrial processes work harder. It could also reflect the ever-increasing number of cars on the roads.
Optimists hope that the reason why the North has overtaken the South as the major area of carbon monoxide is that
at last the burning has stopped, or at least slowed down.
25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Ozone damage. B. Carbon monoxide in the atmosphere.
C. Global warming. D. The warming of the atmosphere.
26. Which of the following is NOT a reason for carbon dioxide?
A. Ozone damage. B. Traffic. C. Industry. D. Burning of forest.
27. According to the author which of the following is a reason why in winter there is more carbon-monoxide in
the atmosphere?
A. Central heating means there are fewer fires nowadays. B. Carbon monoxide is not absorbed so fast.
C. There is a decrease in the amount of traffic on the roads. D. Fewer factories are working.
28. Why are the optimists happy?
A. People are buying more cars.
B. There is more carbon dioxide in the North.
C. Industry must be doing better.
D. They are possibly burning fewer forests in the Southern Hemisphere.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Due to natural disasters or man-made damages during the war, a great number of historical sites and artifacts
have been damaged. It is difficult to repair these sites, as it may take a lot of time, cost, and there is a lack of the
information on how the original work actually looked. Rebuilding cultural heritage sites and artifacts is similar to
solving a big jigsaw puzzle without knowing what it should look like - everything starts from the beginning and
guesses.
One project has been run by a group of scientists to help with the time-consuming restoration of the heritage
sites. The technologies in the project are robotics, 3-D scanning, modern machines and artificial intelligence.
These artifact pieces are scanned by high-tech computers to predict their original architecture. Throughout the
process, the computer system is guided by humans to ensure that the pieces are accurately rebuilt. The computer
software collects all pieces and connects them together to draw a picture of what the original heritage site looked
like.
The second component brings robots into the workplace. The robot should be able to scan those pieces of a
heritage site on its own, and connects them together as a complete one. The robot looks like an average person to
save a large amount of time and human resources when gathering the information about the heritage sites.
25. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Why we restore cultural heritage sites B. How technology helps restore heritage sites
C. How we promote our world heritage sites D. Why robots replace human beings

A. heritage site B. robot C. workplace D. person
28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the use of robots?
A. Robots do not waste our natural resources.
B. Robots can help us collect the information about heritage sites.
C. If we use robots, the time spent on gathering information about heritage sites can be reduced.

If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school, when you are 17-18. You
can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people choose a university that is not in their own town.
So, university students usually live away from home. Students get a grant from the government to study. At the
beginning of your last year at school, you receive an application form. On this form you choose up to five
universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with information from your school
about you and your academic record. If the universities are interested in your application, they will ask you to
attend an interviewIf they are still interested after the interview, they will offer you a place.
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stageApplications and interviews take place several months
before students do their A-level examinations. These are the exams that you do at the end of your time at school.
So, when a university makes an offer, it will tell you the minimum grades that you will have to get when you do
your A-level exams. If you don't obtain those grades, then, you will not be able to get the place. It will be offered to
someone else, and you must apply again to another university. You don't have to accept your place immediately.
Some students don't want to go straight from school to university. So, after they have taken their A-level, they take
a year out to work or travel.

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training
programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunity for on-the-job training and work experience.
Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as practical
elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will
acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at
a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example by learning to operate
machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it operates and find out if you can see
yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you have
completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also have hands-
on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances
are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting
one of the jobs and vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different times in the
year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme are very
good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two thirds
of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational training programme.
Question 25: Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Employment Opportunities and Prospects in Germany
B. Higher Education System in Germany C. Dual Vocational Training System in Germany
D. Combination of Theory and Practice in Studying in Germany
Question 26: The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to __________.
A. company B. machinery C. knowledge D. organisation
Question 27: Which of the following statements best describes the dual vocational training programmes?
A. These programmes consist of an intensive theoretical course of two and a half years at a vocational school.
B. These programmes require you to have only practical working time at a certain company.
C. These programmes offer you some necessary technical skills to do your future job.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school, when you are 17-18.
You can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people choose a university that is not in their own
town. So, university students usually live away from home. Students get a grant from the government to study. At
the beginning of your last year at school, you receive an application form. On this form you choose up to five
universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with information from your school
about you and your academic record. If the universities are interested in your application, they will ask you to
attend an interview. If they are still interested after the interview, they will offer you a place.
 Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take place several months
before students do their A-level examinations. These are the exams that you do at the end of your time at school.
So, when a university makes an offer, it will tell you the minimum grades that you will have to get when you do
your A-level exams. If you don’t obtain those grades, then, you will not be able to get the place. It will be offered
to someone else, and you must apply again to another university. You don’t have to accept your place immediately.
Some students don’t want to go straight from school to university. So, after they have taken their A-level, they take
a year out to work or travel.
25. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. how to be accepted to a university B. how to take an A-level examination
C. studying at a university D. what to do after leaving school
26. The maximum number of universities that a student can apply for is ________.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
27. If the university is interested in the application, ________.
A. the student will be offered a place B. the student will have to attend an interview
C. the student will go straight to the university D. the student will take an A-level examination
28. Students do their A-level examination ________.
A. at the beginning of their last year at school
B. before they send the application forms to the universities
C. at the end of their time at school

READING COMPREHENSION: Read the passage below, then choose the best answers
Distant education is a rapidly developing approach to instructions throughout the business. The approach
has been widely used by business, industrial, and medical organizations. For many years, doctors, veterinarians,
pharmacists, engineers, and lawyers have used it to continue their professional education. Recently, academic
instructions have been using distant education to reach a more diverse and geographically disperse audience not

the learning process. The communication of the subject matter is primarily to individuals rather than groups.

videotapes, videodiscs, computer-based instructions, and interactive video courses can be sent to individual
