Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the youngest of
three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their mother used to do - she
works as a photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines
in 1995 when she graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes were
modeled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the
student show became front-page news around the world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a
fashion designer but she had spent time working in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March
1997, Stella went to work for the fashion house Chloe. People said the famous fashion house had given
her the job because of her surname and her famous parents but Stella soon showed how good she was.
Page 8
She designs clothes which she would like to wear herself, although she's not a model, and many famous
models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house and has since
opened stores around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not use
any leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other animal-derived fabrics.
118. Which of the following is NOT true about Stella's family?
A. She has three sisters. B. One of her sisters is a photographer.
C. She is the youngest. D. Her father is a famous singer.
119. Stella, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss ____.

B. are very famous fashion models
C. had been friends before 1995

C. well-known models perform beautifully D. bring her prizes
122. The word “lifelong” in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been halved since
the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared with 25 percent in
1985. Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also
good for their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men who let their wives do all the
nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive and daughters who are more likely to
do well in school - especially in math and science.
In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the population was
65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 per cent of the U.S.
population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults must plan for the needs of both
their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable grace. One in four
households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an aging relative, and
Page 9
more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are less likely to be
impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past, and have more opportunity to develop a
relationship with their grandchildren.
Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce rates
are likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for both adults
and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained. And many families are
Page 10
doing this. More non-custodial parents are staying in touch with their children. Child-support receipts
are rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced families are exhibiting problems than in earlier
decades. And stepfamilies are learning to maximize children's access to supportive adults rather than
cutting them off from one side of the family.
123. Which of the following can be the most suitable heading for paragraph 1?
A. Men's involvement at home
B. Benefits of men's involvement at home
C. Drawbacks of men's involvement at home
D. Children studying math and science
124. Nowadays, ____ of men help take care of children.
A. 50% B. 41% C. 25% D. 20%
125. According to the writer, old people in the USA ____.
A. are experiencing a shorter life expectancy
B. receive less care from their children than they used to
C. have better relationships with their children and grandchildren
D. may live in worst living conditions
126. Which of the following is NOT true about divorce rates in the USA? A. They will still be high.
B. They can cause problems for both parents and children.
C. More problems are caused by children from divorced families.
D. Children are encouraged to meet their separate parents.
127. The word "equivalent” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. comparable B. opposed C. dissimilar D . constrasting
128. The word "manageable” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. difficult B. challenging C. demanding D. easy
129. The word “this” in the paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A. getting divorced B. minimizing conflict

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Let's see if you can correctly answer the following question: At what age are Latter-day Saint youth allowed to
date? Of course, you probably immediately said, "16". OK, then, how about this one: At what age are you
allowed to have a boyfriend or girlfriend? You may be thinking, “Um, 16. Didn't I just answer that?" Well, if that
was your answer, then, even though you aced the first question, you missed the second one. Just because you can
date when you turn 16 doesn't mean you should immediately start looking for a steady boyfriend or girlfriend.
For decades, prophets have preached that youth who are in no position to marry should not pair off exclusively.
For instance, President Hinckley (1910-2008) said, "When you are young, do not get involved in steady dating.
When you reach an age where you think of marriage, then is the time to become so involved. But you boys who
are in high school don't need this, and neither do the girls”. So what does this counsel really mean, and what are
the reasons for it?
To begin with, there are two different types of dating: casual dating and steady (or serious) dating. The distinction
between the two has to do with exclusivity. With casual dating, there is no exclusivity. The two people aren't “a
couple” or “an item”, and they don't refer to each other as a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. They don't pair off.
People who are casually dating are simply friends. This is the kind of dating the Church encourages you to do
after you turn 16. You should put aside a need to find a “one and only”. If you're dating casually, you don't expect
a relationship to become a romance. You have fun; you do a variety of things with a variety of people. On the
other hand, steady dating means the couple is exclusive with one another. They expect each other not to date
anyone else or to be emotionally or physically close with other people. Couples who date seriously consider the
Page 20
future, because there is a real possibility they could stay together. This is the kind of dating the Church
encourages young adults (generally, people in their 20s) to progress toward, because that's the age when they
should be thinking of marrying.
You should avoid becoming exclusive as teenagers, because an exclusive relationship requires a high level of
commitment from both partners, and you're not in a position to make that kind of commitment as teens – neither
emotionally, physically, nor in terms of your future plans. As President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum
of the Twelve Apostles, has said to youth, “Avoid steady dating. Steady dating is courtship, and surely the
beginning of courtship ought to be delayed until you have emerged from your teens”.
118. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ____.
A. dating doesn't mean having exclusive boyfriend or girlfriend
B. teenagers are supposed to have a steady boyfriend or girlfriend
C. teenagers date as many boyfriends or girlfriends as they can
D. young people shouldn't be allowed to date at 16
119. The word “aced” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. gave up B. misled C. succeeded in D. understood
120. According to the passage, what is NOT true about casual dating?
A. You can be friend with each other. B. You don't pair off exclusively.
C. You find your "one and only”. D. You meet different kinds of people.
121. It is stated in the passage that steady dating ____.
A. includes a variety of things with a variety of people
B. is courtship that you ought to have in your teens
C. requires hardly any commitment
D. suits people who are in their 20s
122. Which of the following would serve as the best title for the passage? A. At what age are young people allowed to
date?
B. Casual dating or steady dating.
C. Make your teenage dating by keeping it casual.
D. Popular kinds of dating for teenagers.
questions.
It has long been seen as a less romantic way of meeting Mr Right. But finding love over the Internet is a good
way of meeting a marriage partner, research has showed. It found that one in five of those who have used dating
sites to find their perfect partner have gone on to marry someone they met over the web. The study, by consumer
group Which?, also revealed that more than half of the 1,504 people questioned had been on a date with someone
they met in cyberspace. Sixty-two per cent agreed that it was easier to meet someone on a dating site than in
other ways, such as in a pub or club, or through friends. At the same time, the under-35s were more likely to
Page 21
know someone who had been on a date or had a long-term relationship with someone they met through online
dating. The survey also found that Match.com and Dating Direct were the most popular dating websites.
Jess Ross, editor of which.co.uk, said: “Online dating is revolutionising the way people meet each other.
Switching the computer on could be the first step to success.” According to industry surveys, more than 22
million people visited dating websites in 2007, and more than two million Britons are signed up to singles sites.
Previous research has shown that couples who get to know each other via emails are more likely to see each other
again after their first date. Two years ago, a study by Bath University revealed that those who met on dating
websites were 94 per cent more likely to see each other after their first meeting than other couples. The
researchers studied relationships formed on online dating website Match.com over a six-month period. They
found that consummate love - described as a balance of passion, intimacy and commitment - was evident at
around 12 months into a relationship. Of the 147 couples who took part in the study, 61 per cent said their
relationships had high levels of these components. The researchers also found that men were more likely to find
true love on the Internet than women. Some 67 per cent of men but just 57 per cent of women said they had
experienced consummate love with an online partner.
Companionate love - a relationship with high levels of intimacy and commitment, but lower levels of passion -
was the next most frequently experienced form of love, exhibited by 16 per cent of the study group. Dr Jeff Gavin, who
led the team, said: “To date, there has been no systematic study of love in the context-of relationships formed via
online dating sites. But with the popularity of online dating, it is imperative we understand the factors that influence
satisfaction in relationships formed in this way.” Charlotte Harper, of Match.com, said: “We were thrilled to find so
many of our former members have found love. It supports our belief that the Internet does in fact encourage old-
fashioned courtship.” 123. According to the passage, online dating is seen as ____.
A. a modern romantic way of dating B. an economical way of dating
C. the fastest way to find a soul mate D. a great change in the way people meet 124.

The skills needed to succeed in college are very different from those required in high school.
In addition to study skills that may be new to students, there will also be everyday living skills that students may
not have had to use before.
Students should:
– know how to handle everyday living skills such as doing laundry, paying bills, balancing a checkbook,
cooking, getting the oil changed in the car, etc.
– be familiar and compliant with medical needs concerning medication and health problems. If ongoing
medical and/or psychological treatment is needed, arrangements should be made in advance to continue that care
while the student is away at college.
– understand that the environmental, academic, and social structure provided by parents and teachers will
not be in place in college. With this lack of structure comes an increased need for responsibility in decision-
making and goal-setting.
– know how to interact appropriately with instructors, college staff, roommates, and peers. Appropriate
social interaction and communication are essential at the college level of education.
– be comfortable asking for help when needed. The transition from high school to college can be
overwhelming socially and academically. Students should know when they need help and should be able to reach
out and ask for that help.

ARE TRADITIONAL WAYS OF LEARNING THE BEST?
Read about some alternative schools of thought…
One school in Hampshire, UK, offers 24-hour teaching. The children can decide when or if they come to school.
The school is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., for 364 days a year and provides online teaching throughout the night.
The idea is that pupils don't have to come to school and they can decide when they want to study. Cheryl
Heron, the head teacher, said “Some students learn better at night. Some students learn better in the morning.”
Cheryl believes that if children are bored, they will not come to school. “Why must teaching only be conducted in
a classroom? You can teach a child without him ever coming to school.”
Steiner schools encourage creativity and free thinking so children can study art, music and gardening as well as
science and history. They don’t have to learn to read and write at an early age. At some Steiner schools the
teachers can’t use textbooks. They talk to the children, who learn by listening. Every morning the children have
to go to special music and movement classes called “eurhythmy”, which help them learn to concentrate. Very
young children learn foreign languages through music and song. Another difference from traditional schools is
that at Steiner schools you don't have to do any tests or exams.
A child learning music with the Suzuki method has to start as young as possible. Even two-year-old children can
learn to play difficult pieces of classical music, often on the violin. They do this by watching and listening. They learn
by copying, just like they learn their mother tongue. The child has to join in, but doesn't have to get it right. “They soon
learn that they mustn't stop every time they make a mistake. They just carry on,” said one Suzuki trainer. The children
have to practise for hours every day and they give performances once a week, so they learn quickly. “The parents must
be involved too,” said the trainer, “or it just doesn't work.” 123. Which of the following is NOT true about 24-hour
teaching? A. Students can come to school from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
B. Students can study online at night.
C. Students can choose the time to study.
D. Some students need to study in the morning and some need to study at night.
124. According to Cheryl Heron, teaching ____.
A. should happen throughout the night B. is not necessarily carried out in class C. is
for children who will not come to school D. must be around the year 125. Steiner
schools don't ____.
A. encourage children's creativity and free thinking
B. allow teachers to teach things out of textbooks
C. teach reading and writing to young children
D. teach music to children
126. Which of the following is TRUE about Steiner schools? A. They are different from traditional schools.
B. Young children are not taught foreign languages.
C. Students must concentrate on music.

Part V. READING
Humanitarian Dorothea Dix was born in Hampden, Maine, in 1802. At the age of 19, she established a school for
girls, the Dix Mansion School, in Boston, but had to close it in 1835 due to her poor health. She wrote and
published the first of many books for children in 1824. In 1841, Dix accepted an invitation to teach classes at a
prison in East Cambridge, Massachusetts. She was deeply disturbed by the sight of mentally-ill persons thrown in
the jail and treated like criminals. For the next eighteen months, she toured Massachusetts institutions where
other mental patients were confined and reported the shocking conditions she found to the state legislature. When
improvements followed in Massachusetts, she turned her attention to the neighbouring states and then to the West
and South.
Dix's work was interrupted by the Civil War; she served as superintendent of women hospital nurses for the
federal government.
Dix saw special hospitals for the mentally-ill built in some fifteen states. Although her plan to obtain public land
for her cause failed, she aroused concern for the problem of mental illnesses all over the United States as well as
in Canada and Europe.
Dix's success was due to her independent and thorough research, her gentle but persistent manner, and her ability
to secure the help of powerful and wealthy supporters.
106. In what year was the Dix Mansion School closed?
Page 43
A. 1802 B. 1824 C. 1835 D. 1841
107. Why did Dorothea Dix first go to a prison?
A. She was convicted of a crime. B. She taught classes there.
C. She was sent there by the state legislature. D. She was doing research for a book.
108. Where was Dorothea Dix first able to bring about reforms in the treatment of the mentally-ill?
A. Canada B. Europe C. Massachusetts D. The West and the South
109. The word "confined" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____.

questions.
All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent report
by the housing group, Shelter.
Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year, says
Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the "cardboard city” in London,
where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes - cardboard boxes. Others may find
accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organisations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board up to
ten weeks.
But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but
“throwaways" - people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental divorce,
an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.
Take the case of one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just passed
her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics homework.
Her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to do Science Advanced Level
Exams - which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that studying sciences was unladylike!
Shelter says that the government's laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of cheap
housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem,
according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twenty-
five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left home for a good
reason.
Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced to
sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can't get a job because employers will
not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can't get a job, you are homeless because you don't
have any money to pay for accommodation. It's an impossible situation.
111. According to a recent report by Shelter, it appears that ____.
Page 44
A. hostels are too full to offer accommodation to homeless young people

of her home?
A. Her parents didn't agree with what she wanted to do.
B. She didn't want to study for her Advanced Level Exams.
C. She had not obtained high marks in her exams.

The 22nd Southeast Asian Games were held in Viet Nam from the 5 th to 13th December, 2003. Although it was
the first time Viet Nam hosted such a big sports event, the Games were a great success. The Games really became
a festival that impressed sports enthusiasts with its spirit: solidarity, co-operation for peace and development.
Athletes from 11 participating countries competed in 32 sports, and 444 gold medals were won. Some teams such
as table tennis, badminton, karate, volleyball, basketball and wrestling were composed of top competitors in the
region. Many Games records were close to international levels. Viet Nam won 158 gold medals to finish at the
top of the Southeast Asian Games medal standings. Thailand ranked second with 90 golds, and Indonesia was
third with only 55 golds. Singapore and Viet Nam were the two nations which had participants who were
presented with the Most Outstanding Athlete titles in the Swimming and Shooting events. The Vietnamese
Women's Football team successfully defended the SEA Games title. Viet Nam and Thailand played in the Men's
Football Final. The Thai Team won the gold medal. In other sports such as karate, athletics, bodybuilding and
wushu, the young and energetic Vietnamese athletes performed excellently and won a lot of gold medals. Viet
Nam's first place finish was not surprising. Firstly, to prepare for the 22nd SEA Games, Viet Nam carried out an
intensive programme for its athletes, which included training in facilities, both home and abroad. Secondly, with
the strong support of their countrymen, the Vietnamese athletes competed in high spirits. The country's success

questions.
When Malaysia takes the ASEAN chair next year, it will face a huge challenge. Too few of us know enough
about this grouping we call the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. We do not know what it means to be a
part of ASEAN and why it is important to us. At the same time, pressure is mounting to reinvent ASEAN to make
it more people-centric and less government-centric. The Heat speaks to Global Movement of Moderates CEO
Saifuddin Abdullah on why ASEAN should mean more to us than just acronyms.
ASEAN people do not feel like they are a part of the community of Southeast Asian nations. This statement,
backed up by survey findings, is pretty bizarre, and extremely hurtful too, considering that ASEAN is 47 years
old today. "Interview 10 persons on the street and you would perhaps get only one of them who knows about
ASEAN,” says Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah. This CEO of Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) is not running
down ASEAN; he's confronting the truth as it impacts the project he has been entrusted with. Here's more, in
2012, the ASEAN Secretariat conducted a survey that showed only 34% of Malaysians had heard of the ASEAN
community. This compares with 96% of Laotians. Malaysia chairs ASEAN next year, and GMM is a member of
the national steering committee organising the ASEAN People's Forum (APF), a platform designed to bridge the
gap between governments and civil society. Never heard of it? You're forgiven.
The APF actually started off life in the 1990s, except it was called the ASEAN People's Assembly (APA). It was
held back to back with the ASEAN Summit, which is held twice a year. The APA is the forum where 10 leaders
of government engage with 10 leaders of civil society in a half-hour meeting. "It was going well until one year
when the chairman decided not to hold the APA, so it was discontinued until 2005 when Malaysia took the
chairmanship of ASEAN again and founded the ASEAN People's Forum (APF)," Saifuddin explains. In a perfect
world, forums such as the APF or its predecessor APA would have worked perfectly to bridge the gap between
government and civil society.
However, as Saifuddin points out, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) often do not see eye to eye with their
governments. For instance this year, Myanmar is chair of ASEAN and in the APF, three member nations -
including Malaysia - decided not to recognise the CSO leaders chosen as representatives so the APF did not take
place. “This is where the GMM wants to play a role in ensuring that this situation does not arise again," Saifuddin
says.
123. According to the passage, in 1990s, APF was called ____.
A. ASEAN People's Assembly B. ASEAN People's Forum C.
Civil Society Organisations D. Global Movement of Moderates 124.

The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the
balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will
become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people This is mainly because we
have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop
production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea le
more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a
given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests
that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favourable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated,
"Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be
significant and to increase over time.” 118. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Environment pollution is real. B. Reasons why low-lying areas are flooded.
C. Solutions to global warming. D. Reasons why global warming is a problem.
119. Which of the following is TRUE as the result of global warming?
A. All people suffer from global warming. B. All people benefit from global warming.
C. Life is more difficult for the majority of people. D. Life is easier for most people.
120. In paragraph 1, the word “this” refers to ____.
A. harder life as a result of global warming B. easier life as a result of global warming
C. climate change on global scale D. flood in low-lying areas
121. In paragraph 2, the word “erratic” is closest in meaning to ____.
A. predictable B. unpredictable C. changeable D. unchangeable
122. According to the passage, all of the following are the results of global warming EXCEPT ____.
A. higher temperature B. coastal erosion
C. increasing sea level D. stable rainfall

C. They will not harm our planet. D. They will be under good control.
questions.
The Amazon rainforest is home to more than a third of all the world's species of plants, birds and animals.
Twenty per cent of all the birds in the world live in the rainforest. Scientists have discovered thousands of types
of plants and animals that can only be found there. There are thousands - probably millions more that we haven't
discovered yet. There are at least 2.5 million species of insects there. Imagine what would happen if they all lost
their home? It couldn't happen, could it? Unfortunately, it's happening right now. Yet, the rainforest is big. But
Page 71
it's getting smaller. The problem is that people are cutting down the trees, mainly to make room for cows. These
provide meat and make money for their owners. This process of cutting down trees is called ‘deforestation'.
The good news is that it is slowing down. In 2004, for example, more than 27,000 square kilometres were cut
down. That's an area bigger than Wales. In 2006, because of all the campaigns to save rainforest, it dropped to
just over 13,000 square kilometres. The bad news is that it's not enough. Scientists predict that by 2030, the
rainforest will have become smaller by 40%. It's possible that by the end of the 21st century, the rainforest will
have completely disappeared. With deforestation, thousands of the animals, birds, fish and plants that live in the
Amazon rainforest lose their home, their natural habitat. Some of them move to other areas, but most of them die.
Many species have already become extinct, and many more will if deforestation continues. That will change the
balance of life in the rainforest and could cause enormous problems to the region's ecosystem. There's another
problem too. Trees and plants are a vital source of oxygen. If we cut them down, we lose that oxygen. But it's
worse than just that. With deforestation, the trees and plants are burnt. This sends gases into the Earth's
atmosphere, which stops some of the Earth's heat escaping. That then leads to the temperature here on the ground
going up. This increase in the world's temperature is called 'global warming', and most scientists believe it's a
very serious issue. If they stopped deforestation, it might help prevent global warming.
124. Which title best summarises the main idea of the passage?
A. Chances for owners of cow ranches B. Threats to Amazon rainforest
C. Global warming effects D. Habitat destruction
125. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. A fifth of all the birds in the world live in the rainforest.
B. 20% of all the animals in the world live in the rainforest.
C. Nearly two million species of insects are found in the Amazon rainforest.
D. Nearly half of the world's species of plants grow there.
126. In paragraph 1, the word "room” is closest in meaning to ____.
A. chamber B. flat C. area D. studio

128. According the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Amazon rainforest?
A. It has become smaller by 40%. B. The deforestation is decreasing.
C. 25% of animal species are extinct now. D. The deforestation is under control.
129. In paragraph 2, the word “enormous” is closest in meaning to ____.

Part V. READING
questions.
One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training programme.
Such programmes offer plenty of opportunity for on-the-job training and work experience. Programmes usually
last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend
one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical
knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at a company. There
you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example by learning to operate machinery. You
will get to know what your company does, learn how it operates and find out if you can see yourself working
there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you have completed
your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also have handson
experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances
are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting
Page 81
one of the jobs and vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different times in the
year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme are very good.
This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two thirds of all
students leaving school go on to start a vocational training programme.
106. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Employment Opportunities and Prospects in Germany
B. Higher Education System in Germany
C. Dual Vocational Training System in Germany
D. Combination of Theory and Practice in Studying in Germany 107. The word "it" in the first paragraph
refers to ____.
A. company B. machinery C. knowledge D. organisation
108. Which of the following statements best describes the dual vocational training programmes?
A. These programmes consist of an intensive theoretical course of two and a half years at a vocational school.
B. These programmes require you to have only practical working time at a certain company.
C. These programmes offer you some necessary technical skills to do your future job.
D. These programmes provide you with both theoretical knowledge and practical working experience.
109. The word "hands-on” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. theoretical B. practical C. technical D. integral
110. How many German school leavers choose this vocational training programme?

questions.
Do you think education is better now than it was in your grandparents' time? Many older people in the UK
believe the opposite. “Schools were better in our day,” they complain. “There isn't enough discipline these days.
Kids don't work as hard as we did, either. The syllabus isn't as challenging, so clever students aren't being
stretched enough. They need to study things in greater depth. Exams are much, much easier now as well.” Were
schools better years ago? Some British teenagers travelled back in time to a 1950s boarding school. They got a
big surprise! The first shock came when the teenagers met their new teachers. Dressed in traditional black gowns,
they look so frosty and uncaring! They were really authoritarian, too, so anyone caught breaking the rules -
talking in classes, mucking about in the playground or playing truant – was in big trouble! Punishments included
writing 'lines' or staying after class to do detention. The naughtiest kids were expelled.
Things were just as bad after class. At meal times the students had to endure a diet of plain, no-nonsense, healthy
food. Homework was obligatory and it took ages! Copying essays off the Internet wasn't an option, as personal
computers didn't exist in the 1950s!
Page 82
At the end of 'term' everyone sat 1950s-style exams. The old exams were much longer than their twenty-first
century equivalents and involved learning huge amounts of facts by heart. History papers were all dates and
battles. Maths papers were trickier, too; calculators weren't around in the 1950s, so the students had to memorise
multiplication tables and master long division. Our candidates found this really difficult.
The exam results surprised a lot of people. Students predicted to do well in their real-life, twenty-first century
exams often got low grades in the 1950s exams. Does this prove modern exams are too easy? Do twenty-first
century kids rely too much on modern technology, like calculators and computers?
The TV series of That 'll teach 'em! focused on a 1960s vocational school. UK school-kids study a range of
academic subjects these days. But in the 1960s, children judged to be less ‘able' went to vocational schools.
These helped them learn job skills. Boys studied subjects like metalwork, woodwork or gardening. In some
classes, they even learned how to milk goats! The girls' timetables included secretarial skills. They also learned to
cook, clean and sew - probably not much fun for most girls.
111. What criticism is sometimes made about modern education in the first paragraph? A. Teachers aren't
strict enough.
B. The syllabus is out of date.

C. There's too much stress on exams.
D. The teaching methods are not good enough.
112. The word "authoritarian” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. inexperienced B. impolite C. unreasonable D. strict
113. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the food the students ate at school? A. It wasn't
cooked properly. B. It wasn't delicious.
C. It wasn't nutritious. D. There wasn't much of it.
114. The word "obligatory” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. compulsory B. difficult C. long D. complicated
115. According to the passage, how did exams in the 1950s differ from those in the twenty-first century?
A. They covered more subjects. B. It took students less time to do them. D. They were
less C. There was more to remember. difficult.
116. What was surprising about the students' results after taking the 1950s-style exams? A. All the students
found the exams difficult.
B. Students didn't do as well as expected.

117. The word “these” in the last paragraph refers to ____.
A. school-kids B. subjects C. series D. vocational schools

questions.
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and
prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its
construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen-acre structure near the Nile River is
a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are a number of hidden passageways and the burial
chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned
almost exactly on true north, south, east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were
sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical
observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further
scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present, and future. Many of the
events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future
generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers, and this
one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of the ancient past. Was this
superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?
118. The word “intersecting” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. crossing B. aligning C. observing D. cutting
119. What do the intersecting lines in the base symbolise? A. Architects' plans for the hidden passages.
B. Pathways of the great solar bodies.
C. Astrological computations.
D. Dates of important events taking place throughout time.

MY 25,000 WONDERS OF THE WORLD
The coaches at the Uluru Sunset Viewing Area were parked three deep. Guides were putting up tables and setting
out wines and snacks. Ten minutes to go. Are we ready? Five minutes, folks. Got your cameras? OK, here it
comes ...
Whether an American backpacker or a wealthy traveller, Danish, British, French, we all saw that sunset over
Uluru, or Ayer Rock, in what seems to be the prescribed tourist manner: mouth full of corn chips, glass full of
Château Somewhere, and a loved one posing in a photo's foreground, as the all-time No 1 Australian icon behind
us glowed briefly red.
Back on the coach, our guide declared our sunset to be 'pretty good', although not the best she'd witnessed in her
six years. Behind me, Adam, a student from Manchester, reinserted his iPod earphones: 'Well, that's enough of
that rock.' Indeed. Shattered from getting up at five in order to see Uluru at dawn, I felt empty and bored. What
was the point? What made this rock the definitive sunset rock event? Why had we come here? Well, I suppose
my sons would remember it always. Except they'd missed the magical moment while they checked out a rival
tour group's snack table, which had better crisps.
So now I've visited four of the “25 Wonders of the World", as decreed by Rough Guides. And I think this will be
the last. While in my heart I can see myself wondering enchanted through China's Forbidden City, in my head I
know I would be standing grumpily at the back of a group listening to some Imperial Palace Tour Guide. At the
Grand Canyon I would be getting angr with tourists watching it through cameras – eyes are not good enough,
since they lack a recording facility.
As we become richer and consumer goods are more widely affordable, and satisfy us only briefly before
becoming obsolete, we turn to travel to provide us with 'experiences’. These will endure, set us apart from stayat-
home people and maybe, fill our lives with happiness and meaning, Books with helpful titles like 1,000 Places
Page 96
to See Before You Die are bestsellers. I'd bet many backpacks on the Machu Picchu Inca Trail are filled with
copies, with little tieks penciled in the margins after each must-see sight has been visited. Travel is now the
biggest industry on the planet, bigger than armaments or pharmaceuticals. And yet viewing the main sight of any
destination is rarely the highlight of a trip. Mostly it sits there on your itinerary like a duty visit to a dull relative.
The guilt of not visiting the Sistine Chapel, because we preferred to stay in a bar drinking limoncello, almost
spoilt a weekend in Rome.
In Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef reproached us. How could we travel 15,000 miles without seeing it? How
would we explain back home that we were too lazy, and preferred to stay playing a ball game in our hotel pool?
In the end, we went to the reef and it was fine. But it won't rank highly in the things I'll never forget about
Australia. Like the fact that the banknotes are made of waterproof plastic: how gloriously Australian is that? Even
after a day's surfing, the $50 note you left in your surfing shorts is still OK to buy you beer! And the news item
that during a recent tsunami warning, the surfers at Bondi Beach refused to leave the sea: what, and miss the ride
of their lives? Or the stern warning at the hand luggage X-ray machine at Alice Springs airport: "No jokes must
be made whilst being processed by this facility' - to forestall, no doubt, disrespectful Aussie comments: 'You
won't find the bomb, mate. It's in my suitcase.’
The more I travel, the clearer it seems that the truth of a place is in the tiny details of everyday life, not in its most
glorious statues or scenery. Put down your camera, throw away your list, the real wonders of the world number
indefinitely more than 25.

A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However, it was difficult
for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of the existing
Page 108
buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new capital city. In
1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The advisor appointed
to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report suggesting two
possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages
as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation, the
availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was
chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was
drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring
Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and would serve its
administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with industry and
commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for education, recreation,
and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free atmosphere,
plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings, and well-organised
bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a superb example of good urban planning.
118. Why was a commission founded in 1959?
A. to overcome the drawbacks of Karachi as a capital city
B. to create a new capital city for Pakistan
C. to look into possibilities of the locations for a new capital city

LESSONS FROM CURITIBA
Urban planning deals with the physical, economic, and social development of cities. Today urban populations are
increasing rapidly, and growing cities are putting enormous pressure on the environment. For this reason, the type
of urban planning found in Curitiba, in southern Brazil, is more important than ever.
Curitiba is a fine example of how urban planning can work. This has not always been the case, however. At one
time, Curitiba faced the same problems as many other cities all over the world, namely overcrowding, pollution,
and an increased demand for services, transport, and housing. How, then, did Curitiba address these problems?
By the 1940s the population of Curitiba had grown to about 150,000 as immigrants from countries such as Japan,
Syria, and Lebanon came to work in agriculture and industry. These people needed both housing and
transportation. Curitiba's leaders realised that it was not sensible to deal with these problems separately.
Consequently, they employed a French planner and architect, Alfred Agache, to find an overall solution. Agache
studied all aspects of the problem. He designed a scheme which gave priority to public services such as sanitation
and public transport. At the same time, the scheme included centres which helped both community life and
commerce to develop, and reduced traffic congestion. This was the first scheme to address several problems of
growing cities at the same time. Unfortunately, some parts of his plan were not completed. The result, as
described below, was that his scheme only served Curitiba for another 20 years.
By the 1960s, the population of Curitiba had grown to about 430,000 inhabitants, so the city had to rethink its
needs. In order to do this, the mayor put together a team of architects and town planners led by Jaime Lerner.
This team produced the Curitiba Master Plan. This consisted of taking Agache's original plan and adding wide,
high-speed roads which crossed the smaller streets. Their proposals also included plans to minimise urban
growth, reduce city centre traffic, and preserve the city's historic district. It is clear that the Curitiba Master Plan
was one of the first attempts to integrate all aspects of city planning.
This integrated approach to urban design was maintained throughout the 1980s as Curitiba's population grew to
almost one million inhabitants. Environmental facilities were added, such as a recycling programme for
household waste, and parks and 'green' spaces were protected from development. However, good transportation
remained central to the planning.
Good transportation still remains a priority, together with the needs for jobs. A growing population needs
employment, so business parks and centres have been added to encourage new small businesses. All these
changes will continue be the population of Curitiba increases, but its city planners are continually searching for
solutions to the problems.

questions.
Super Size Me is a 2004 film by Morgan Spurlock, in which he documents his experiment to eat only
McDonald's fast food three times a day, every day, for thirty days.
Spurlock made himself a short list of rules for the experiment, including an obligation to eat all of the three meals
he ordered. He also had to ‘Super Size’, which means accepting a giant portion every time the option was offered
to him. He ended up vomiting after the first Super Size meal he finished, after taking nearly twenty minutes to
consume it.
After five days Spurlock put on almost 5kg, and he soon found himself feeling depressed, with no energy. The
only thing that got rid of his headaches and made him feel better was another McDonald's meal, so his doctors
told him he was addicted. More seriously, around day twenty, he started experiencing heart palpitations and one
Page 121
of the doctors detected liver problems. However, in spite of his doctor's advice, Spurlock continued to the end of
the month and achieved a total weight gain of 11kg. His body mass index also increased from a healthy
23.2 to an overweight 27.
It took Spurlock fifteen months to recover from his experiment and return to his original weight, but the film also
had a wider impact. Just after its showing in 2004, McDonald's phased out the Super Size option and healthier
options like salads appeared on the menu. Unfortunately, McDonald's denied the connection between the film and
the changes, but it is interesting to note how closely they coincided with the release of the film.
118. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. An experiment with McDonald's fast food B. Putting on weight due to eating fast food C.
Connection between fast food and heart diseases D. How fast food trigger liver damage 119. Which of
the following is TRUE about Morgan Spurlock? A. He had to eat Super Size meal once a week.
B. He had to eat Super Size meal twice a day.
C. He had to eat Super Size meal three times a week.
D. He had to consume Super Size for three meals a day.
120. In paragraph 2, the word "giant” is closest in meaning to ____.
A. light B. balanced C. big D. healthy
121. Which of the following could get rid of Spurlock's headaches?
A. salad B. a McDonald's meal C. a pain killer D. nothing
122. According to the passage, all of the following are the results of the experiment EXCEPT ____.
A. Spurlock put on weight B. the experiment affected his heart C. the experiment
affected his liver D. he became fairly relaxed and energetic 123. The word “its” in paragraph 4 refers to
____.
A. McDonald's B. the experiment C. the film Super Size Me D. the menu
questions.
In 2002, several obese teenagers in the USA sued McDonald's, claiming that the company was responsible for
making them fat. They argued that McDonald's deliberately misled them into thinking that their cheeseburgers
and other products were healthy and nutritious food. They claimed that the company had not warned them about
the health problems that can result from eating too much salty, high-fat food and drinking too many sugary
drinks: diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. The mother of one of the children, who at the age of 15
weighed more than 180 kilograms, said in her statement: ‘I always believed McDonald's was healthy for my son.'
McDonald's rejected the claim that they were responsible for these teenagers’ health problems. ‘People don't go
to sleep thin and wake up obese,' said McDonald's lawyer, Brad Lerman. 'The understanding of what hamburgers
and French fries do has been with us for a long, long time,’ he added. The judge agreed, and dismissed the case,
saying: 'it is not the place of the law to protect people against their own excesses.' In other words, if people
choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food, they can't blame the company that sold it to them.
Page 122
Other similar lawsuits against fast food companies in the USA have also failed. In 2005, the US House of
Representatives passed a bill which became known as the 'Cheeseburger Bill'. It made it much harder for obese
people to take legal action against the food industry. However, the bill has not ended the arguments about
responsibility. There is some scientific evidence to suggest that fast food is addictive, and harmful too. So is
selling fast food the same, in a way, as drug-dealing?

A. Obesity - who is to blame? B. Is fast food addictive?
C. Is fast food really healthy? D. How to get rid of fast food?
125. According to the obese teenagers in the USA who sued McDonald’s, which of the following health problems was
NOT mentioned?
A. diabetes B. hypertension C. obesity D. heart disease
126. In paragraph 2, the word “rejected” is closest in meaning to ____.
A. accepted B. denied C. ignored D. agreed
127. In paragraph 2, the word “it” refers to ____.
A. law B. healthy food C. unhealthy food D. bill
128. What happens if people choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food?
A. The company will be responsible for their health problems.
B. They may get financial support from the company.
C. They will surely succeed in lawsuits.
