Then she remembered that she (7) left them on the table at home She told Julia (8) had happened and said she would go home to get the tickets She promised to be (9) before the concert started Mary rushed (10) of the café and went to the bus-stop to catch a bus back to her house Unfortunately, she had just (11) a bus and she (12) to wait a long time for (13) one She was just beginning to despair (14) she saw a taxi, which she signalled to stop Giving her address to the driver, she jumped (15) , and fifteen minutes later she was home “Wait for me,” she said and ran into the house Mary picked (16) the tickets from the table and the taxi-driver drove her straight back to the café Julia had just finished her meal Together they hurried out of the café and walked quickly to the concert-hall, (17) they arrived hot and (18) of breath Mary (7) showed the tickets to the man at the door, (19) looked at them carefully and then (20) them back “I’m sorry,” he said “”These are for next Wednesday.” Question Read the text and Table below Complete this text with these words plus of where necessary a great deal few many most twelve times a third fewest more ninety per cent two-thirds I read several studies about dating In one American study, the researchers asked a large number of college students about arranging a date They focused on dates arranged by women (see Table 1) (1) ……………………… the students preferred hints In a hint, for example, the woman mentions that she has noticed something about the man or seen him somewhere If he talks to her, she can pay (2) ……………………… attention to him and act as if he is very interesting Then maybe she can say that she’d like to talk to him again These types of hints were preferred by about (3) ……………………… the students About a third of the women said they wanted to wait for the man to ask But only three per cent of the men wanted that This means that almost (4) ……………………… as many women as men think that this is a good idea Such a large difference suggests that a lot of women are waiting and hoping for something that very (5) ……………………… men will This may be one of the (6) ……………………… reasons why students think it is hard to get a date Another reason may be their different opinions about asking directly “Asking directly” was chosen by the (7) ……………………… women More men, almost (8) ……………………… them, liked this approach In fact, in another study I read, (9) ……………………… college men said that if they were asked directly, they would say “Yes.” An example of asking directly was: “I have some tickets for a concert Would you like to go with me?” In my opinion, this example may not provide reliable evidence about dating The man may want to go to the concert and say, “Yes,” but he may not like the woman Is this a date? I don’t think so I believe that we need (10) ……………………… these studies to find out if men and women define “date” in the same way Table If a woman is interested in going on a date with a man, the best

existed B Repair gets slower C People ignore warnings D Ozone hole a certainty E The future is our responsibility F The function of the ozone layer G Delay reactions H Humans to blame Strange results In September 1982, Dr Joe Farman, a British scientist working in the Antarctic, found that a dramatic change had taken place in the atmosphere above his research station on the ice continent His instrument, set up to measure the amounts of a chemical called ozone in the atmosphere, seemed to go wild Over just a few days they recorded that half the ozone had disappeared D He couldn’t believe his eyes, so he came back to Britain to get a new instrument to check his findings But when he returned the following year at the same time, the same thing happened He had discovered a hole in the ozone layer- an invisible shield in the upper atmosphere- that turned out to extend over an area of the sky as wide as the United States and as deep as Mount Everest is high When he published his findings in scientific journals, they caused a sensation Scientists blamed pollution for causing the ozone hole The ozone layer is between 15 and 40 kilometres up in the atmosphere, higher than most aero planes fly This region contains most of the atmosphere’s ozone, which is a special form of the gas oxygen Ozone has the unique ability to stop certain dangerous invisible rays from the sun from reaching the Earth’s surface- rather like a pair of sunglasses filters out bright sunlight These rays are known as ultra-violet radiation This damages living cells, causing sunburn and more serious diseases The ozone layer is vital to life on the surface of the Earth Until the ozone layer formed, about two thousand million years ago, it was impossible for any living thing to survive on the surface of the planet All life was deep in the oceans But once oxygen was formed in the air, and some of that oxygen turned to ozone, plants and animals could begin to move on to land But now humans are damaging the ozone layer for the first time In the past ten years, scientists have discovered that some man-made gases, used in everything from refrigerators and aerosols to fire extinguishers, and floating up into the ozone layer and destroying the ozone The most common of these gases are called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) The damage is worst over Antarctica, and near the North Pole, where scientists have seen small holes appear for a short time each spring since 1989 So far, these holes have healed up again within a few weeks by natural processes in the atmosphere that create more ozone But each year, it seems to take longer for the healing to be completed Also, all round the planet, (9) there now seems to be less ozone in the ozone layer than even a few years ago The first new international law to stop people making or using CFCs was the Montreal Protocol, agreed by most of the world’s governments in 1987, Since then, there have been new controls on other chemicals that destroy ozone The problem is that it takes roughly eight years for CFCs, which are released when an old fridge is broken up, to reach the ozone layer That is why, despite all the cuts, ozone holes were deeper than ever around both the North and South Poles in 1993 Amounts of CFCs in the atmosphere will continue to rise for anther five years, say scientists Every year, the atmosphere will attempt to repair damage to the ozone layer caused by our pollution But we are stretching its capacity to recover to the limit If we stop using all ozonedestroying chemicals within the next five years, it is likely to be at least the middle of the 21 st century before the ozone hole stops forming over Antarctica each year And, if we are to survive, we all have to face the problem now SECTION

It would never have happened before computers, and that, for me, is all the problem: we are beginning to depend on these machines for so completely that we simply cannot mange without them any more Your answers: 10 PART II: read the article below and then decide which word (A, B, C or D) best completes each space Make the right choice and your answers in the box WHAT TEENAGERS DO WITH THEIR MONEY Thirteen-year olds not spend as much money as their parents suspect at least not according to the findings of a (1) …… survey, Money and Change The survey (2) ………… three hundred teenagers, 13-17 years old, from (3) …………Britain By the time they (4) …… their teens, most children see their weekly allowance rise dramatically to an amazing national average of $ 5.14 Two thirds think they get (5) ………… money but most expect to have to something to get it Although they have more cash, worry about debt is (6) ……….among teenagers Therefore, the (7) ………….of children (8) …………an effort to save for the future Greater access to cash (9) ……… teenagers does not, however, mean that they are more irresponsible (10) ……….a result The economic recession seems to have encouraged (11) ……… attitudes to money, even in the case of children at the ages Instead of wasting what pocket (12) … they have on sweets or magazines, the 13-year-olds who took (13) …………in the survey seem to (14) ……….to the situation by saving more than half (15) …………their cash a late b recent c latest d fresh a included b contained c counted d enclosed a entire b all over c complete d the whole a reach b get c make d arrive a acceptable b adequate c satisfactory d enough a gaining b heightening c increasing d building a most b maximum c many d majority a make b c have d try a among b through c between d along 10 a like b as c for d in 11 a aware b knowing c helpful d cautious 12 a cash b money c change d savings 13 a part b place c share d piece 14 a reply b answer c respond d return 15 a from b as c of d for Your answers: 10 11 12 13 14 15 (63) Part III: Read the following passage, choose the best answers, and write them in the box below CONSERVATION- OR WASTED EFFORT? The black robin is one of the world’s rarest birds It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Manger off the coast of New Zealand In 1967, there were about fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten There are only black robins left in the world The island has many other birds, of course, of different kinds, large and small; these seem to multiply very happily Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin- to guard those remaining and to increase their number Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made The idea is to buy another island nearly as a special home, a “reserve”, for threatened wild life, including black robins The organizers say that Little Manger should then be restocked with the robin’s food- it eats only one kind of seed- and so renewed for it Thousands of required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand The public appeal is aimed at the conscience of mankind, so that the wild black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our time at least Is all this concern a waste of human effort? Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out? Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable? In the earth’s long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success- and died out In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early That is Nature’s proven method of operation The rule of selection-“the survival of the fittest”-is the one by which man has himself arrived on the scene He, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most Some creatures, certain small animals, insects and birds, will almost certainly outlast man, for they seem even more adaptable You may take it as another rule that when, at last, man shows signs of dying out; no other creature will extend a paw to postpone his departure On the contrary, he will be hurried out; for Nature, though fair, is a hard-heard mistress She has no favorites Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins I leave you to judge whether we should try to anything about it The black robin is dying out mainly because……… a people have been very careless about its survival b its only food is becoming exhausted on Little Manger c the other birds on the island have destroyed it d the appeal for money has come at the wrong time The success of the other small birds on Little Manger shows that……… a the island cannot have very much food left b something has to die out, they cannot all be winners c the big birds have all been attacking the black robin d the black robin has failed to meet the challenges of life As regard selection and survival, the decisive factor seems to be……… a the ability to adapt to changed and changing conditions b the number of wild life reserves that are available c the concern and generosity of the public d the size of the home or the amount of space one has to live in The evidence seems to suggest that……… a it is a disaster for every one when one kind of bird dies out b all creatures are concerned about the survival of others c Nature expects and accepts the dying out of weaker breeds d man is to blame when such a ting happens Your answers: Part IV: Read the text below Use the word given to form a word that fits in the space THE ENVIRONMENT: OUR RESPONSIBILY These days it is impossible to open a newspaper without reading about the damage we are doing to the environment The earth is being (1.threat) ……….and the future looks bad What can each of us do?

did you have for lunch” and so on And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice In England, people eat potatoes every day In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change American like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee The English drink tea four or five times everyday Australians drink large amounts of beer, and the French drink wine every day The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat The Japanese don’t like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw
