Eight paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from paragraphs AI the one that fits each gap (5865). There is one extra paragraph that you do not need to use. Write your answers in the numbered table below. (10 points) Learning to Fly I had been testing cars and motorcycles for over twenty years. I couldn’t take any more. It wasn’t terribly exciting and, in any case, new cars were beginning to look identical and drive similarly. What I needed was a new challenge. 58 Unfortunately, I wore glasses. The Royal Air Force wouldn’t consider anyone for pilot training unless they had perfect eyesight. Halfway through an aptitude test, they realised that my eyes were far from perfect. I didn’t stand a chance. 59 It was an obvious choice. It’s just twenty minutes’ drive from my home. It’s very quiet, too, so the £90 per hour for the training is spent flying in the air, not waiting on the ground for other planes to take off. 60 It took me a whole year to get my private pilot’s license. It started well, with my first solo flight coming after just seven hours. Then came all the studying, the exams, the hard work. I never thought I’d get to the end of it. 61 Then came last winter and the end of the course was in sight. For weeks, the weather was so terrible that for most of the time it was impossible to fly. Strong winds, heavy rain and even snow and ice made flying conditions extremely hazardous. 62 But finally the first of three practical exams arrived – the navigation test. The examiner sets you a course that you have to plan according to the weather, and then fly with him sitting beside you. 63 I passed this test, but I don’t know how. The second test involves flying crosscountry to two other airports, which you can choose, and landing at both. The important thing is to give the right messages to the airtraffic control people and understand their replies. 64 After this alarming episode, the exercises in the flighthandling test were simple. As we complete the sixth exercise, the examiner suddenly turned to me and said, ‘Congratulations – you’ve passed’ 65 I wasn’t sure why, because we usually land as slowly as possible. Then I turned round and realised straight away: we were being followed by a British Airways jumbo jet A. A week which we had set aside for finishing the course came and went with no possibility of getting in the air at all. And besides the problems with the weather, my second son was born, and that made it even more difficult to find the time for lessons and studying. B. But the real reason I chose this club was that a friend of mine, Andrew Wilkins, is the chief instructor there. He impressed me by taking me out for a free flight just so that I could see what it was like. C. Unfortunately, I got myself lost this time and flew too far east. I completely missed the first airport. However, I flew over a car factory I recognised and managed to get back on course. D. Along the way, he’ll take the controls and fly off course, just to get you lost. Then he’ll hand back the control to you and expect you to find your way home. E. One day I was asked by an airtraffic controller if I could see another aircraft ahead. I said yes, and immediately it disappeared into a cloud. I just didn’t know what to do. F. At the time, taking private lessons to learn how to fly was financially beyond me. So I had to delay my plans to become a pilot for quite a while. It was twenty years, in fact, before I finally enrolled at a flying club in Hertfordshire. G. Since getting my pilot’s license, I’ve been out flying a few times. The highlight so far was flying up to Birmingham International Airport for a motor show with Andrew beside me. As we approached the way, the airtraffic controller came on the radio asking for as much speed as our little plane could manage. H. For months, my head was always in a book and my head hurt from all the facts, figures and flying instructions. I. This feeling of needing a change coincided with my 40th birthday, which started me thinking about what I’d been doing all those years. When I left school all I had really wanted to do was fly.

find themselves living side by side with people from other cultures While in the past people with different cultures were able to live quite (37 SEPARATE) , high mobility and freedom of movement mean that we are more likely today to be confronted with people whose way the life is (38 FAMILIAR) to us In such circumstances, (39 RACE) is a real danger People feel a tremendous (40 LOYAL) to their own culture, and are often unwilling to develop an (41 APPRECIATE) of the positive aspects of other cultures They may feel that another culture presents a threat to their own (42 INHERIT) , one that could even lead to the (43 APPEAR) of certain aspects of their way of life Often, however, this threat is more a matter of (44 PERCEIVE) than reality and different groups live in (45 RELATE) harmony in many parts of the world VII Read the text below and choose the correct word for each space For each question, circle letter A, B, C or D next to the answer you choose Dolphins communicate mainly by (46) of sounds These sounds not only (47) whistles, but also so-called pulsed sounds, which are often described as squawks, barks, rasps, etc However, they also use breaching (jumping and falling back into the (48) with a loud splash) and pectoral fin (or flipper) and tail (or fluke) slaps (hitting the flipper or fluke on the water surface) Body posturing and jaw popping also have a role in (49) As for language, we not know (50) they have one Several studies have demonstrated that dolphins can understand a structured language like (51) This has been demonstrated for a number of other animal species as well (gorilla, California sea lion, and parrot) Some studies also indicate that dolphin vocalizations are complex (52) to support some form of language (53) , it has not been demonstrated (54) that they can undoubtedly communicate (55) themselves 46 A way B mean C using D means 47 A have B include C contain D combine 48 A water B sea C ocean D river 49 A reaction B chewing C speaking D

to select the right wines for you or your guests Wine is basically grape juice to (57) yeast has been added causing it to ferment and produce alcohol Alcohol is flavourless, so there must be something more (58) wine than this Many of the secrets of wine lie within the grape Its pulp is a sugar solution which contains the things that give a wine its fruity flavour In a dry wine, most of a grape’s sugar has been converted (59) alcohol In a sweet one, more sugar is left This can be felt on the (60) of the tongue The pulp also contains acidity which gives the wine "crispness” that makes the mouth water Too much (61) it can make you wince, too little and the wine could taste dull The skin contains flavour and tannin Tannin produces a tingling sensation in the gums and gives a wine firmness White grapes (62) their skins removed before fermentation so tannin is only really found in red wines The pulp of black and white grapes is (63) same pale colour The fact that the skins of black grapes are left on (64) the wine is fermented gives red wine its colour The wines which are often considered to be the best are (65) where all the elements balance one another There are many grape varieties grown in many climates which influence the emphasis given to these features and this is why wines can be so wonderfully different IX Choose from A, B, C, or D the one that best answers each of the questions in the following passage Every drop of water in the ocean, even in the deepest parts, responds to the forces that create the tides No other force that affects the sea is so strong Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides At these times the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month 66 What is the main point of the first paragraph? A The waves created by ocean currents are very large B Despite the strength of the wind, it only moves surface water C Deep ocean water is seldom affected by forces that move water D The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean water 67 The words "In reality" in the passage is closest in meaning to _ A surprisingly B actually C characteristically D similarly 68 It can be inferred from the passage that the most important factor in determining how much gravitational effect one object in space has on the tides is _ A size B distance C temperature D density 69 The word "configuration" in the passage is closest in meaning to _ 155 A unit B center C surface D arrangement 70 Neap tides occur when _ A the Sun counteracts the Moon's gravitational attraction B the Moon is full C the Moon is farthest from the Sun D waves created by the wind combine with the Moon's gravitational attraction X Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence printed before it 71 John didn’t celebrate until he received the offer of promotion in writing → Not until 72 I don’t really like her, even though I admire her achievements → Much 73 It’s thought that the accident was caused by human error → The accident _ 74 House prices have risen dramatically this year → There has 75 This affair does not concern you → This affair is no 76 You must submit articles for the magazine by June 18 th → The final date _ 77 Although Jimmy was the stronger of the two, his attacker soon overpowered him → Despite his 78 What a surprise to see you here! → Fancy 79 I don’t intend to apologize to either of them → I have _ 80 It was only when I left home that I realized how much my father meant to me → Not until _ XI Writing an essay “Stable development (development without harming the environment) is essential for the present time as well as the future” What you think of that matter?
