Task 2: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.
STEVE JOBS' LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Steven Paul Jobs was born on 24 February, 1955 in San Francisco, USA. His biological parents were not married and gave
him up for adoption. He was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs. In 1971, Jobs met Steve Wozniak, who was five years older than
him, but they bonded over their love of electronics. After high school, Jobs attended Reed College in Oregon, but found the
classes boring and dropped out after six months.
When Jobs was 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computers in Jobs' family garage with money they got by selling Jobs'
van and Wozniak's scientific calculator. By making computers smaller, cheaper, and accessible to everyday users, their company
became a huge success and sales quickly increased.
Although Jobs left Apple in 1985, he returned to his post in 1997 when the company needed new ideas. He helped invent
new products such as the iMac, the iBook for students, the iPod music player, and iTunes music software. In 2007, he introduced
the touch-screen iPhone which changed the way phones were used. Apple products were not only designed to be cutting-edge
technology, but also to be stylish and easy to use.
In addition, Jobs contributed to computer animation. In 1986, he bought a small company, which later became Pixar
Animation Studios. It produced the first full-length computer-animated film Toy Story, followed by other blockbusters.
In 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. He fought the disease for several years, and stopped
working in August, 2011. Two months later, he passed away. He had four children, three with his wife of 20 years and one from a
previous relationship. On an Apple web page, a statement reads, 'Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has
lost an amazing human being.'

Task 2: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.
It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and heating today. We now
can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not long ago that there were no such things as matches
or lighters. To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder. If the tinder was
damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire from a neighbor.
We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that sticks would burn if they
were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling. They brought the lighted sticks back to make their
fire in a cave. Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being struck by lightning, and used the trees to start their own
fires.
Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find flames. They rubbed two pieces ot wood
together. This method was used for thousands of years.
When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found that certain resins or
gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their
homes at night. Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of Europe.
There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed. Boys ran about London at night
carrying torches of burning material. They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to
friends’ houses at night.
For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more effective than a cluster of
candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy
and murky places at night.
32: What does “they” refer to?
A. people B. ages C. sticks D. trees
33: It is stated in the passage that torches for lighting were made from______.
A. the wood of gum trees B. iron bars dipped in melted resins
C. wooden poles dipped in oil D. tree branches dipped in melted resins
34: It is mentioned in the passage that before the electric lamp was invented, ______.
A. oil lamps and then candles were used
B. candles and oil lamps appeared about the same time
C. candles and then oil lamps were used
D. people did not use any form of lighting in their houses
35: The word “splendors” in the passage could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. expensive object B. places of scenic beauty
C. achievements D. the beautiful and impressive features
36: According to the passage, which of the following sentence is NOT true?
A. We know exactly when and how people first used fire
B. Before gas lamps and electric lamps appeared, streets were lit by torches
C. We can make a fire by striking a piece of iron on flint to ignite some tinder
