Your answers: 10 PART 3: Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions Write your answers in corresponding numbered boxes (15 points) The tide means the rising and falling of ocean levels that are affected by the moon, the sun, and the earth’s own rotation Although the sun gives about 200 times the gravitational force on the earth as the moon does, the moon exerts more than twice the tidal force As the closer astronomical body, the moon has greater influence on the earth’s tides Although other factors affect the tide, the positions of these two bodies have by far the greatest determinant roles It is easy to imagine that the ocean level closest to the moon bulges upward However, a bulge occurs on the opposite side of the earth as well [A] As the moon’s tidal force counteracts the earth’s gravitational force, water bulges on both sides Because there are two major oceanic bulges, there are two high tides in a daily cycle [B] A lunar day, not a solar day, must be used in this calculation It takes the earth 24 hours and 48 minutes to make one rotation As with a solar day, the earth rotates once in 24 hours [C] Thus, high tides generally occur every 12 hours and 24 minutes, an interval of half a lunar day [D] Exact intervals will vary depending on local land features The sun has a similar but less visible effect on water levels Oceanic bulges occur on the sides of the earth While these bulges resulting from the sun’s tidal forces are smaller than the greatest swells caused by the moon, they can amplify the moon’s effect Furthermore, the bulges in water levels caused by the sun can make predicting the tides tricky, since both the sun and the moon must be taken into consideration When the moon and the sun are aligned – that is, when both are on the same side of the earth or on opposite sides of the earth – the oceanic bulges are at their greatest size Known as spring tide, this powerful phenomenon results in abnormally high tides, abnormally low tides, and abnormally strong tidal currents In general, seven days after the spring tide comes, the neap tide comes The results are weaker tidal currents and less variation in water levels between high tide and low tide Because the moon and the sun are major factors in tide formation, researchers have tried to investigate these factors under assumptions of the earth with no land masses, smooth ocean floors, constant distances from the moon and the sun, and an unchanging environment Even under these simplified imaginary conditions, it has been difficult to construct complete and conclusive models of tidal phenomena With the additional factors of huge land masses, wildly variable underwater terrain, the elliptical orbits of the moon and the earth, and climate change, tidal analysis become increasingly more complex Land masses block tidal ebbs and flows, affecting the timing, volume, and strength of the tides Submarine terrain also has great effects on tides and their movements and variation As for the principal astronomical bodies, one must remember that the moon’s orbit around the earth and the earth’s orbit around the sun are elliptical Therefore, tidal forces vary with changing relative distances between the earth and the moon and between the earth and the sun Finally, weather and climate change always pose challenges to tidal prediction Now, with global warming, rising ocean levels, and weather phenomena, study of the tides is becoming more challenging than ever before According to the passage, all of the following are true of tides EXCEPT A The earth’s rotation affects water depth B Solar gravitational force is the biggest influence on tidal flow C The moon is a more important factor than the sun D Tidal force is related to distance from the earth The word “counteracts” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A stops B intensifies C offsets D resists Look at the four squares [A], [B], [C], [D] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage However, the moon is constantly moving around the earth, so an additional 48 minutes is required for the moon to complete the rotation Where would the sentence best fit? Choose the square where the sentence should be added to the passage A [A] B [B] C [C] D [D] C swells D bodies The word “they” in paragraph refers to _ A bulges B forces The word “abnormally” has been repeated three times in order to _ A emphasize the power of spring tides B accentuate unpredictability of tidal movement C note how infrequently spring tides occur D highlight the complexities of tidal formation Which of the following best expresses the essential information in the bold sentence in paragraph 4? A Neap tide features weaker water currents and less difference between high and low tide levels B Lower current speeds result in little change in water levels between high tide and low tide C As a result, neap tide is difficult to detect due to little tidal variation and slow-moving tidal currents D The effects of these tidal bulges are less water movement between tides 7 In the passage, what does the author say about simplified conditions? A They are unnecessary for a complex understanding of tides B They have been inadequate factors in tidal models C Even they have not helped scientists make models of tides D They were created to study major factors in tidal behavior Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as something that complicates study of the tides? A Land formations change the way tidal waters move B Underwater land formations affect changes in tidal levels C The orbit between the sun and the earth affects tidal phenomena D Increasing water depths may be causing unusual weather The word “volume” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A duration B sound C size D direction 10 An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below “Several factors make the tide a complicated phenomenon.” Which of the following DOES NOT belong in the summary? A The moon is the major cause of high and low tides B The sun exerts much more gravitational force than the moon does C The moon and the sun create conditions for spring tide and neap tide D Land formations, orbital irregularities, and climate change complicate tidal study Your answers: 10 PART 4: Read the following passage and the tasks that follow and write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided (15 points) AN ANCIENT FEAT OF ENGINEERING In 1900, Dimitris Kontos, the captain of a Creek sponge diving boat, and his crew, from the island of Symi, took shelter from a storm in a cove by the island of AntiKythera While waiting for the winds to become more favourable, before heading for the coast of Tunisia for a sponge diving expedition, the bored crew decided to some diving Down to a depth of nearly fifty metres a crew member descended, in a bulky diving suit, to search the sea floor When he resurfaced, telling tales of bodies strewn on the seabed surrounded by horses, Captain Kontos thought his shipmate had become drunk on the nitrogen that was fed into his breathing tube and decided to go down to see for himself He returned with an arm from a 4th century BC bronze statue When Kontos informed the Greek authorities of his findings they sent a Creek Navy vessel and officials to assist the sponge divers in what turned out to be the world's first ever maritime archaeological excavation The operation lasted for a year and led to an astonishing collection of finds - hundreds of different artefacts, from colossal 4th century BC statues, to small daily artefacts, plus one of the greatest wonders ever to be found from the ancient world - the Antikythera Mechanism The operation was ended not because they had managed to recover all the artefacts from the lost Roman ship using nothing but the most rudimentary diving equipment and a wooden platform with a winch, but because one sponge diver had lost his life and another two were paralysed from decompression sickness They had succeeded in raising many treasures for the heritage of the world but it was a high price to pay The artefacts were taken to Athens for storage in the National Archaeological Museum, and its director, Valerios Stais, noticed that one small fragment, encrusted with rust from two thousand years on the sea floor, contained a gearwheel and his conjecture was that it must have been from some kind of astrolabe - a clockwork mechanism - one that he guessed must have been from Hellenistic times But eminent archaeologist though he was, his observations were categorically refuted as impossible, because the world's leading authorities on the history of mechanics only recognised geared mechanisms as an invention of the 14th century and not the 1st century BC of Greece Thus, Stais had to accept their pre-eminence and so he merely catalogued the find and then archived it in the museums vaults And there it lay forgotten for the next half a century until a British science historian, Derek de Solla Price, requested to examine it He soon came to the same conclusions that Valerie Stais had arrived at The item was from the 1st century BC and was some type of geared mechanism It was, undoubtedly, the oldest clockwork mechanism in the world, preceding the later invention of geared mechanisms by 1600 years That much de Solla Price was certain of and he set out to find out the answers to all the other unanswered questions - what was it for? Who made it and why? Solla Price and the Greek nuclear physicist Charalambos Karakalos proceeded to make Xray and gamma-ray images of the 82 fragments and in 1974 their findings were published Solla Price believed that the mechanism was the world's first analogue calendar computer Now the world was interested The mechanism was not simply a rusting piece of bronze from the middle ages that had accidentally become mixed up with real ancient artefacts It was now recognised as the earliest known example of a clockwork mechanism Scientists, archaeologists and mathematicians the world over wanted to find out more about this astonishing find and the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project was born It took more than 40 years of study to reveal the secrets in the fragments using modern computer X-ray tomography to enhance the inscriptions that were hidden within it and that led to understanding what the mechanism is and how it worked The detailed imaging revealed a machine with 37 gear wheels that allowed it to follow the movement of the sun and moon through the zodiac and to predict eclipses The construction of the item was based on 2nd century BC Greek theories of astronomy and mathematics It is the first extant construction of a differential gear system in history It is remarkable for both the level of its miniaturisation and the complexity of its gear system It is widely regarded as the most important find in the history of technology But although it is, without doubt, unbelievably sophisticated technology for its era, preceding anything like it by hundreds and hundreds of years, it still didn't work very well First of all, its theoretical accuracy was hampered by the theories of the time, which were not entirely accurate and, although it is a brilliant feat of engineering, the hand-built gears not have the fine precision tooled features that would allow it to work in the way it was designed to This takes nothing from it as an achievement and the ongoing research project may find out even more about this wonder of the world if more pieces are unearthed from the seabed in coming years But even as it is, it remains the world's first real computing machine and it was created over 2000 years ago Questions 1-5 Do the following statements agree with what the writer says in the text?

This chart presents information on the holiday destinations of British people over two years, 2014 and 2015 It includes data on percentages of people who took holidays in the UK and abroad, as well as people who did not take holidays The most common holiday behaviour by far, during both 2014 and 2015, was taking holidays both in the UK and abroad In both years, 41 percent of the population did this It is striking that this did not change In terms of the rest of the data, there were slight differences between years In 2014, 27 percent of Britons took holidays in the UK only, while 12 percent travelled abroad only The following year, the number of people holidaying only in the UK fell to 23 percent while those who only travelled abroad rose slightly to 13 percent The percentage of people who didn’t go on holiday at all rose from 20 percent in 2014 to 23 percent in 2014 Overall, the data is quite similar across years The numbers of Britons who travelled more than once, or not at all, show little change While more people chose to stay in the UK rather than go abroad in 2014, this difference became smaller in 2015 This could reflect political or financial anxiety in 2014 that abated in 2015 PART 2: ESSAY WRITING (30 pts) Sources: IELTS for Academic Purposes – Practice tests ( Malcolm Mann & Steve Taylore – Knowles) Model Composition Globalisation means that in some ways people around the world are becoming more and more similar We often eat the same food, watch the same TV programmes, listen to the same music and we wear the same clothes Some of this at least can be blamed on the spread of multinational brands available all over the world On the surface, it may appear as if the global diversity of cultural identities is being lost If, the argument goes, people in Tokyo and London look and dress the same, then that must mean that cultural differences are disappearing However, I would argue that this is a very narrow definition of culture and that, in fact, cultural differences are as present as ever Cultural identity is built on far more than just the films we watch or the jeans we wear The foundation of cultural identity is shared values When you look in detail at different cultures, you realize that the things that are important to one culture can be very different from the things valued by another culture Take my own culture Greece, as an example, and compare it to a very different culture, Japan Although I have never visited Japan personally, believe that it is a culture that places a lot of value on hard work and that people often work very long hours The Greek people, in contrast, greatly value their leisure time and strive to spend as much time with their family as they possibly can Even if we consume the same products, I would argue that there are still some very deeprooted differences To summarise, I not accept that the total loss of cultural identity is inevitable, despite the influence of large companies and their products around the globe (294 words) LISTENING SCRIPT PART Sarah: Good morning Burnham Coaches, Sarah speaking How can I help you?
