Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to choose the word
or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 34 to 38.
Not too long ago, the dinner table was the centre of family life. Parents and children would gather
around the table, enjoy a good home-made meal and discuss the day's events. Nowadays, (34) ,
the family dinner table has become a thing of the past. The reason for this is the fact that parents don't
spend as much time with their children as they once used to. In most households, both parents work and
are simply too tired to organise meals and (35) domestic matters.
Nevertheless, many experts insist that time spent at the family dining table is essential to the well-
being of the family unit. Gathering for meals gives children a (36) of security and helps them
understand and appreciate family life. Experts also claim that children not only get a nourishing meal but
they also get emotional, intellectual and spiritual nourishment. So, whether it is once a month or once a
week, busy parents should (37) aside a few hours of their time to organise a family meal and
spend quality time with their children. After all, the family (38) eats together, stays together.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
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)
Question 39. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future of a Big City B. No Energy, No Life!
C. A Green City D. Initiatives to Go Green
Question 40. The word it in paragraph 1 refers to .
A. sunshine B. Freiburg C. solar power D. energy
Question 41. According to paragraph 2, what is special about ‘passive houses’?
A. They’re built from recyclable materials.
B. They’re located in one of the wealthiest areas in Freiburg.
C. They don’t need heating or air conditioning.
D. They’re designed to keep people safe from diseases.
Question 42. The word interest in paragraph 2 mostly means .
A. attract B. compete C. achieve D. consider
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Freiburg has won many awards for its approach to go green.
B. Most people in Vauban use bicycles to travel instead of cars.
C. The production of solar in Freiburg is as much as that in the UK.
D. Great importance is attached to going green in Freiburg.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
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.
