or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 34 to 38.
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)
Question 39. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The End of Trains? B. Flying by Train
C. Train System in Shanghai D. The Next Generation of Technology

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.
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.

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.
STAYING IN TOUCH
People have been recording information in the form of writing since ancient times. Latin, the language
of religion, and French, the language of the rich and powerful, were the (34) languages in the
Middle Ages in Europe. Subjects were usually connected to religion, trade and government, although
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
bother writing a letter when you can make small talk on the phone for very little cost? (38)
people would agree, however, that there is something very special about receiving a personal, handwritten
letter.
(Adapted from High Note by Rachael Roberts and Caroline Krantz)

Question 36. A. receive B. contribute C. transfer D. convey

Question 38. A. Another B. Every C. Few D. Most
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.
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)
Question 39. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Finding a Job Online B. Tips to Have a Well-Paid Job
C. The New Era of Job Finding? D. Choosing a Career
Question 40. According to paragraph 1, what is the advice given for choosing a job?
A. You should choose a job that can be very demanding.
B. It’s a good idea to find a paid job that you really like.
C. It’s advisable to choose a highly-paid job.
D. It’s recommended that you should avoid a boring job.
Question 41. The word informed in paragraph 2 mostly means .
A. unexpected B. quick C. wise D. hard
Question 42. The word They in paragraph 3 refers to .
A. Interests B. Parents C. Ideas D. Experiences
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. You have to be responsible for your job choices.
B. A well-paid job may not satisfy you down the road.
C. Honesty is an important trait that ensures you a steady job.
D. You need to find a job that suits your personality.
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.
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.
(Adapted from High Note by Rachael Roberts and Caroline Krantz)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
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.
Question 47. The word they in paragraph 3 refers to .
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.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
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.

or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 34 to 38.
Many young people choose to spend a year or two of their lives while they are still single living in a
foreign country and working as a volunteer. Working as a volunteer means that you can not only help (34)
people, but also develop a greater understanding of the world and yourself. You must have a
university degree and (35) at least one year's experience before you can apply. Suitable applicants
are invited to attend a series of interviews and are then sent on a training programme. Applicants are
usually offered a post within months and can be sent anywhere from the Sahara to Siberia.
The advantages of being a volunteer far outweigh the disadvantages. Being a volunteer can enable you
to get valuable experience (36) you would otherwise not have had. It can help you move up the
career ladder faster. You will make lifelong friends and return with an appreciation of another culture and
language. (37) , volunteering is not for everyone. It can be difficult being (38) off from
friends and family. Living on a modest allowance is challenging. But, if you do choose to go, you will
return a stronger, wiser person.

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)

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.
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)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
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
Question 47. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to .
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.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
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.

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.
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.
(Adapted from Gateway by Frances Treloar)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
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?

A. It was launched by a group of high school students.
B. It involved students from different schools in the area.
C. It wanted students to avoid social media for a week.
D. It was the first experiment of its kind to be conducted.
Question 46. The word them in paragraph 2 refers to .

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
Question 49. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

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.”
(Adapted from Upstream by Virginia Evans and Lynda Edwards)

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.
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.
(Adapted from Laser by Malcolm Mann and Steve Taylore-Knowles)

A. Getting Rid of Your Gadgets: For Better or Worse?

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
Question 49. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
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.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
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.

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.

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.
(Adapted from Optimise by Malcom Mann and Steve Taylore-Knowles)

B. Educational institutions often take little notice of the benefits of playing games.
C. Your addiction to video games can be caused by your preference for living alone.
D. Studying and playing video games simultaneously equip students with vital skills.

It is sometimes said that 'Your schooldays are the happiest days of your life', and people often feel that
this should be a period of enjoyment. However, exams often affect students' happiness, and many students
express a preference for (34) methods of assessment, where the work they do throughout the
year counts towards their final mark. They say that exams test short- term memory and knowledge (35)
is forgotten immediately after the exam. (36) , assessing coursework as part of the final
mark changes students' behaviour, making them more responsible about studying.
There are (37) students, however, who prefer final examinations, saying that in comparison
they only have to work hard for two months a year and so they have more time for their leisure activities.
They say that some students receive assistance with their coursework from their parents, so it is not an
accurate (38) of how hard they have worked or of their real ability in the subject they are
studying.

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.
Thomas Edison is famous for inventing the light bulb. But not many people know that in the 1920s he
invented the first employment test to recruit staff for his research laboratory. It had questions in it like,
‘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!
(Adapted from Navigate by Caroline Krantz and Julie Norton)
Question 39. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. New Trends in Playing Games B. Play Your Way to a Job!
C. Gamification: A Blessing in Disguise? D. How to Succeed in a Video Interview?
Question 40. The word it in paragraph 1 refers to .
A. light bulb B. question C. employment test D. research laboratory
Question 41. According to paragraph 2, L'Oréal .
A. has recently changed its recruiting procedures
B. asks candidates to solve problems in an online game
C. is one of the first firms to coin the phrase ‘gamification’
D. tends to recruit new employees via a video interview
Question 42. The word managed in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. rebuilt B. purchased C. produced D. controlled
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Some companies nowadays use games to recruit new employees.
B. People often refer to Thomas Edison as the father of the light bulb.
C. My Marriott HotelTM by Marriot wasn’t as popular as Reveal by L'Oréal.
D. Marriott introduced a game to take on more staff outside the USA.
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.
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.
(Adapted from Navigate by Rachael Roberts and Caroline Krants)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
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
D. Silbo Gomero: The Revival of an Ancient Whistling Language
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
Question 49. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
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.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
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.
D. The economic climate in the past was favourable for the continued existence of Silbo.

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.
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.
(Adapted from Navigate by Caroline Krantz and Julie Norton)

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.
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. 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
Question 48. The word them in paragraph 4 refers to .
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.

Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

For example, you might have an infection and need antibiotics. But if you have had an accident, you might
need to have an operation.

People who use such therapies are in (38) - they are a great way to feel better!

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.

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.
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.
(Adapted from Upstream by Virginia Evans and Bob Obee)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?

A. have already lived below the earth for a long time
B. have the habit of reading articles about ecology
C. always wish to have the strangest home in Britain
D. haven’t settled down in their new home yet
Question 46. The word virtually in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. fully B. nearly C. partly D. digitally
Question 47. The word them in paragraph 3 refers to .
A. pyramids B. effects C. bills D. walls
Question 48. The word compatible in paragraph 4 mostly means .
A. opposed B. contradictory C. appropriate D. reliant
Question 49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Timothy Scott and his wife were shocked to see mud and water in their new home.
B. Artificial light is required for every room in the house below the earth.
C. It’s likely that underground houses are able to avoid fires and some natural disasters.
D. The popularity of earth-sheltered homes has started to emerge in Asian countries.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Earth-sheltered homes will become more common in the UK sooner or later.

Regular exercise such as jogging or swimming is good for the heart. It can also give you more energy

easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. After a while, the heart doesn't need to work quite

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.

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.
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)
Question 39. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Number 7 Train: The Symbol of New York
B. Around the World on the Number 7 Train
C. Cultural Diversity on the Number 7 Train
D. Immigrants Living on a Special Train
Question 40. According to paragraph 1, what is said about the number 7 train?
A. It’s special because every station is like a different country.
B. It aims at educating immigrants about New York’s history.
C. Only a minority of New Yorkers take this train daily.
D. Train passengers can hear no more than 100 languages.
Question 41. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. reasons B. languages C. things D. immigrants
Question 42. The phrase got through in paragraph 3 mostly means .
A. contacted B. encountered C. competed D. overcame
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The first immigrants arrived in New York to avoid war and poverty.
B. Life in Manhattan was very difficult for immigrants in the past.
C. Manuela enjoys experiencing different countries on the number 7 train.

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.
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.'
(Adapted from Insight by Jayne Wildman, Cathy Myers and Claire Thacker)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Sustainable Tourism: Back to Basics B. It’s Time to Give Back to Nature!
C. A Road Less Travelled D. Seeking Pleasure in a Desolate Area
Question 45. According to paragraph 1, Amy Carter-James got the idea of helping people through tourism
when .
A. she gave an inspirational speech in Kenya
B. she was seeking employment in Africa
C. she did some voluntary work in a poor school
D. she graduated from university in Africa
Question 46. The word them in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. the couple B. qualities C. countries D. people
Question 47. The word desperately in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. simply B. mainly C. badly D. quickly
Question 48. The word overpriced in paragraph 3 mostly means .
A. completely new B. readily available C. surprisingly cheapD. extremely expensive
Question 49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The lack of clean water was quite rampant in the village of Guludo.
B. Visitors can be given a guided tour to explore Ibo island.
C. The proceeds from NEMA were used for different purposes.

C. No one in the village of Guludo can fully understand the precise meaning of NEMA.
