A Burning too much coal and oil produces lots of greenhouse gases B It has become warmer on the earth more than in the past C Gases put into the atmosphere now will affect the earth years later D The temperature in the greenhouse is as high as that in the atmosphere Suppose the earth’s temperature rose by degrees, A great harm would be done to mankind B all the land in the world would be flooded C the sea level would go up by 10 centimetres D crops would be unable to grow on the earth 10 This passage mainly deals with A the concept and harm of greenhouse effect B the concept and change of greenhouse effect C the relation between greenhouse gases and man D the effect of the rise of the earth's temperature II Read the following passage carefully and fill each numbered blank with ONE suitable word Write your answers on your answer sheet (10 pts) Page of Many parents believe that having a home computer is an investment in the education of their children and they often pay more than a thousand pounds for a product they not fully understand (1) to a recent survey, over 60% of parents firmly believe in the educational importance of personal (2) But as the pressure (3) parents to buy extremely sophisticated and expensive equipment increases, concern is growing in Britain over (4) real educational value of the computer The (5) comes as schools are being encouraged by private industry to (6) in the latest technology The Government also intends to make access to computers easier in schools as the best way to win (7) it calls the "Knowledge Race" against other nations However, according to some educationalists, parents who (8) the computer as some form of home tutor could be heading for trouble Dr George Hadley, who is the lecturer in educational computing at Oxford University, stresses (9) educational software can never (10) replace teachers III Read the passage below and choose the correct word or phrase to complete each numbered blank Write your answers A, B, C or D on your answer sheet (5 pts) Approaches to learning People appear to learn in different ways Some people expect to make mistakes in their (1) and are capable of benefiting from their mistakes They don’t mind (2) corrected by their teacher and indeed often ask to be corrected Others, (3) , dislike making mistakes They try to avoid doing (4) which they might badly They would rather perfect something in (5) steps and be sure they have got it right (6) attempt to a task based on a subject they don’t feel they have finished exploring yet Both ways of learning seem to be equally valid, but a (7) of the two may be the best solution In order to learn effectively, students have to remember to (8) risks sometimes But they also have to feel comfortable and secure with (9) they are doing so as not to become demotivated All students should (10) think about questioning the way that they approach learning 11 A studies B work C job D doings 12 A having B being C helping D noticing 13 A therefore B however C as a result D then 14 A something B good C anything D methods 15 A slow B great C long D small 16 A to B from C that D than 17 A combination B mixture C link D joint 18 A B make C get D take 19 A that B which C what D when 20 A at last B at least C for the most D for the best PART FOUR: WRITING I Finish the second sentence in such a way that its meaning is similar to that of the original one Write your answers on your answer sheet (10 pts) 11 Perhaps she took the bus to town  She might 12 He got stuck in the traffic jam so he didn’t attend the meeting  If 13 It is believed that the man escaped in a stolen car  The man 14 George keeps asking me silly questions  George is 15 The volunteers didn't find it hard to help the disabled  The volunteers had no 16 She never seems to succeed even though she studies much  Much 17 I couldn’t answer the question as it was too difficult for me  The question was so 18 He not only passed his exam but also got a scholarship to Finland  Not only 19 I’d rather he stayed in tonight than went to the concert  I’d prefer 20 How much you think this camera costs?  What II Rewrite each of the sentences below in such a way that its meaning is similar to that of the original one, using the word given in brackets Do not change this word in any way Write your answers on your answer sheet (5 pts) "I don't know if I believe this story," said her brother (wondered)  Most of the students in our class like Teddy (popular)  All the witnesses said the bus accident was the driver’s fault (blame)  It's pointless to try and ask him for help!
