Weather forecasting

Cyclones in India, hurricanes in the Caribbean - severe weather events make news headlines almost weekly Yet even in Britain, which has comparatively few climate extremes, the country is

still governed by weather If it’s pouring with rain the British might stay indoors or go to the cinema;

if it’s fine they’ll have a picnic

Most people nervously study the weather forecast the evening before if they’ve got an important appointment the following day Even if they have nothing planned, the weather often affects their mood

For individuals, the worst that can usually happen if the weather catches them on the hop is

that they get wet For business, the effects are far more serious Airlines and shipping companies need to avoid severe weather and storm-force conditions Power companies need to make sure they can supply the demand for electricity in cold weather; farmers plan their harvests around the forecast and food manufacturers increase their production of salads and other summer foods when fine weather is promised

So who or what do meteorologists - weather forecasters as they are more commonly known - rely

on when it comes to producing a forecast? Ninety percent of the information comes from weather

satellites, the first of which was launched into space nearly forty years ago and was a minor revolution in the science of forecasting Up until then, forecasters had relied on human observers

to provide details of developing weather systems As a result, many parts of the world where there were few humans around, especially the oceans, were information-free weather areas Today, however, satellites can watch weather patterns developing everywhere

In the UK meteorologists have also relied on releasing four weather balloons a day from eight fixed sites These balloons measure wind, temperature and humidity as they rise upwards to a height of about 26,000 metres

Some commercial aircraft can also be fitted with a range of forecasting instruments although

this system has certain disadvantages For example, it can provide a great deal of information

about the weather on popular routes, such as London to New York, but little about the weather

on more out-of-the way routes

Instruments aboard ships can also supply basic weather information as well as important data on wave height Generally, the range of these instruments is fairly limited but they can indicate which direction rain is coming from, how low the cloud is and give an idea of when the weather system will reach land

One forecaster who has made a name for himself is a man called Piers Corbyn, who bases his forecasts on watching the Sun Most forecasters will offer forecasts for only 10 days ahead, but Corbyn’s forecasts are for 11 months Although most meteorologists believe that there is no scientific basis for his work, Corbyn’s forecasts are used by insurance companies who want to plan months in advance

Question 24: The weather system affects people’s lives in Britain

A despite being fairly moderate B because it is so changeable

C because it is always raining D despite being very seasonal

Question 25: What does the writer mean by the phrase “catches them on the hop” in paragraph

3?

A People run for shelter B People are too busy to notice

C People are far from home D people are unprepared

Question 26: Why does the writer list so many different businesses in paragraph 3?

A to give examples of ordinary people’s lives

B to show the extent of the weather’s influence

C to describe the recent effects of the bad weather

D to explain how people manage in bad weather

Question 27 : Why is the first weather satellite described as a “minor revolution” in paragraph

4?

A It watches the human observers B It replaced human observers

C It provided extra forecasts D It forecast the weather in space

Question 28: Using airplanes to help forecast the weather is

A very popular B not expensive C quite new D not ideal

Question 29: What does ‘it’ in paragraph 6 refer to?

A using balloons

B using satellites

C using aircraft

D using ships

Question 30: Corbyn’s forecasts using the Sun are considered

A useless and unscientific B helpful but short-term

C unhelpful in the long-term D useful by some people

You might be surprised to know that bicycles have existed for less than two hundred years Though the earliest comes from a sketch said to be from 1534 and attributed to Gian Giacomo, there are several early but unverified claims for the invention of the modem bicycle No one is sure who invented this popular two- wheeled machine, but it was probably either the German Karl von Drais, in 1817, or the American W K Clarkson, in 1819 The early models didn't look much like the bicycles of today The front wheel was much bigger than the back one, and also there weren't any pedals - riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground Pedals finally arrived in the 1840s, and in 1879 an Englishman named Henry Lawson had the idea of connecting them to the back wheel with a chain Gears, which made things much easier for those cycling uphill, first appeared in the 1890s

There are now approximately one billion bicycles in the world - more than twice the total number

of cars - and they are the main form of transport in some developing countries They have to compete with cars on the streets of all the world’s cities, and the two forms of transport don't always mix well In London in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously

injured in accidents involving cars Even though bicycles are much more environmentally friendly than cars, most governments don't do much to encourage people to ride rather than drive In China, which

is famous for having a huge number of bicycles (about 200 million), the authorities in the city of Shanghai even banned cycling for a while in 2003

Cycling is on the rise is the United Kingdom, and the number of annual journeys made by bike in London has increased 50% over the last five years Experts say there is a mixture of reasons for this boom: concerns about the environment, the desire to keep fit, and also the fact that cycling

is often not only cheaper but also quicker than travelling by car

However, although one in three British adults owns a bicycle, they still don't use them nearly as much as they could Bikes are used for a mere 2% of journeys in the UK, while the figure for the Netherlands is an impressive 27%

Cycling is becoming more popular as a competitive sport, and the most famous race is of course the three-week Tour de France, which takes place every July American Lance Armstrong won it every year from 1999 to 2005 - one of the greatest individual sporting achievements of all time

(Adaptedfrom Handouts for B2, University of Linguistics and International Studies, 2017)

Question 43: Why didn't early bicycles look much like today's models?

A The wheels were different sizes B They only had one wheel

C They were made of wood D They had machine

Question 44: The highlighted word "attributed" is closest in meaning to

A rejected B discounted C acknowledged D noticed

Question 45: Which of the following is FALSE?

A Cycling was banned in Shanghai, China, in 2003

B There are about one billion bicycles in the world today

C More than 90% of the world's bicycles are in Africa

D About 20% of the world bicycles are in China

Question 46: According to experts, which of the following is NOT an explanation for the recent

increase in bicycle use in London?

A People want to keep fit

B People have more money, so they can afford to buy good bicycles

C Travelling by car is often slower than travelling by bicycle

D Cycling protects the environment

Question 47: In the Netherlands, what percentage of journeys are made by bicycle?

A More than 25% B 5-10% C 25% D Less than 5%

A Cycling continuously in three weeks

B Winning the Tour de France seven times

C Cycling to work every day for twenty years

D Cycling all the way around the world

Question 49 : The highlighted word “it” in paragraph 6 refers to

A cycling B sport C the race D the achievement

Question 50: Which can be the best title for the passage?

Not only are students learning a new language, but they are learning about a new culture, too Students have been particularly surprised about the French attitude towards food “They won’t leave anything on their plate,” says Vanessa Athol “They aren’t wasteful at all.” Vanessa

has vowed to be more careful with waste when returning to the United States

The group’s chaperone, Mrs Smith, has been pleased with the students’ acquisition of

language “Even the most timid are trying their best to speak The students are learning a lot I’m very impressed,” she said Mrs Smith added that she thinks living with a French family makes a difference because students are forced to speak French “We are all very grateful to the French families who are hosting us.”

The French families are happy to have the students, as they are getting to leam about American culture Both groups will be celebrating the exchange at a large potluck dinner at the end of the stay There will be a slide show of memories and the students will speak about their experiences Currently, the American students are periodically posting pictures and student essays on the Walling School website “Living in France is an experience I’ll never forget,” writes student Tina Davis “I know I’ll want to eat these croissants and this Camembert for the rest of my life!”

Working on the computer is very tough on your body, which is not used to this modem type of work Sitting has long been known to cause back pain and negatively influence circulation, which

can promote cardiovascular disease Extensive use of the keyboard and mouse can lead to

stiffening of the muscles in your hands, arms, and neck Staring at a bright screen for too long can cause dry eyes and headaches So, computer work can be as unhealthy a job as you can imagine

First and foremost, sitting for long stretches of time is a very serious health risk! Sitting affects your blood circulation, your back experiences a steady stress, you are more likely to drink and eat stuff that isn’t good for you, and you bum very little calories, making it more likely that you overeat As a result, sitting contributes to a host of conditions, most notably gaining weight, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and consequently a shortened life span

Second, bad posture causes pain You can develop bad posture from anything you do habitually, whether it’s sitting, standing, or walking The typical consequences associated with bad posture while working on the computer are pain in the back, shoulder, and neck, often resulting in tension headaches

Third, staring at the screen causes eve strain Staring at a bright screen for hours can lead to eye fatigue or eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, burning, itching or tearing eyes, and temporary vision disorders Fortunately, eye strain rarely results in a permanent condition and symptoms can be prevented or cured rather easily

Last, but not least, emotional pressure and isolation cause anxiety and depression Computers are very efficient tools in that they help us with getting more work done in less time At the same time, you spend less face-to-face time with your colleagues, family, or friends This can lead to isolation, anxiety, and depression, i.e both physical and mental health issues The symptoms are manifold and can include tense muscles, back pain, headaches, poor sleep (insomnia), increased

or flat breathing, quickened pulse, and generally signs of stress, depression, or anxiety

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth On the solid portions of the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elavated plateaus, and large moutain ranges In geography, the term "continent" refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise about 29.2% of the planet's surface On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of the term that deals with extensive mainlands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large landmass Although all continents

are bounded by the water bodies or high mountain ranges, isolated mainlands, such as

Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents In some circles, the distinction between continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of a particular landmass The analysis of compression and tension in the earth's crust has determined that continental structures are composed of layers that underlie continental shelves A great deal of disagreement among geologists surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distintive mineral and chemical composition It's also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on top of unknown continents that have not yet been explored The continental crust is believed to have been forrmed by means of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels within the crust Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical split occured to form the atmosphere, sea water and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago

Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that include shields, moutain belts, intracratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and blockvaulted belts The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to the continent size Climatic zones have a crucial effect

on the weathering and formation of the surface features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities

Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of layers They are typically produced during substabtial crustal movements, which generate faulting and moutain building When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of large moutain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic

theory This process also accounts for the occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate evolution

Question 31 What does this passage mainly discuss?

A Continental structure and crust

B Continental drift and division

C Scientific analyses of continental crusts

D Various definitions of the term "continent"

Question 32 According to tha passage, how do scientists define continents?

B As extensive bodies of land

C As surficial compositions and ranges

D As the largest identifiable features

Question 33 The word "bounded" is closest in meaning to

A covered B convened

C dominated D delimited

Question 34 The author in the passage implies that the disagreement among scientists is based

on the fact that

A Continents undergo compression and experience tension

B Continents have various underlying layers of crust

C Each continent has several planes and shelves

D Continents have different chemical makeup Question 35 According to the passage, what are the differences in the structure of continents? A The distinctive features of their elements B Ratios of major components and their comparative size C Climatic zones and their effect on the surface features D The proportional size of continents to one another Question 36 The phrase "This process" refers to _ A The rise of margins B Mountain ranges

C Plate tectonic theory

It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life’s obstacle

Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children writing

admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their children’s lack of coping strategies But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today

How many people do you know who are on medication to prevent anxiety or depression? The

number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years We, as a society, don’t want to “feel” anything unpleasant and we certainly don’t want our children to “suffer”

The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and negotiate adversity As a psychologist, I am well aware of the fact that some individuals suffer from depression and anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I question the growing number of medicated adolescents today

Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but

I don’t believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than that of the past 10 years What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults” with all the responsibilities of life

What does this mean for college faculty and staff? We are required to assist in the basic parenting

of these students – the student who complains that the professor didn’t remind her of the due date for an assignment that was clearly listed on the syllabus and the student who cheats on an assignment in spite of careful instructions about plagiarism

As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent college student before we can even begin to teach As parents and teachers we should expect young people to meet challenges To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward This approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood

Question 38 According to the writer, students today are different from those she knew in that

they are

A not so academic

B too ready for college

C responsible for their work

D not as mature

Question 39 The word “handle” in paragraph 2 mostly means

A point at B deal with

C gain benefits from D lend a hand to
