The idea was to share power, responsibility and decision-making for world affairs equally between all members of the new global village, so it is the nearest thing we have ever had to a world government The U.N brings together officials from 185 member states to preserve world peace and prevent conflict, but the dream never quite became a reality as this body has very little 'real' power - it just does a lot of talking Not long after the U.N was founded, Europe started to play with the idea of uniting its own continent After all, it was internal conflict being the main cause of both world wars Line 21 - Then, in 1957, the idea took shape; it started as the European Coal and Steel Community with six member states Today, we know it as the European Union (E.U.)- 27 countries, called member states, united in one large free trade area and committed to supporting each other to make Europe a safer, more secure and more 6|Page prosperous place 15 of those members have gone a step further and created a single currency The system is hardly perfect, but at least the members are working together and not trying to destroy each other anymore But, for all the political movement that took place, there was a revolution more powerful, yet more simple, that changed the world - and that was the dawn of the information age First the television brought people from opposite sides of the globe into contact; then the Internet makes the world our living room Technology was the most powerful tool for uniting people in the last century, and the first to create a truly global community Now we can communicate with people from different 'tribes' in an instant; debate with, learn from, understand, chat with them But for all the change, have we made the world any better? There's still a huge gap between the richest and the poorest nations and misunderstanding and conflict We may be closer and live in a global village; but there's still a lot more to 21 The number of people living in the world A has almost trebled since a decade ago B has more than trebled in just under 100 years C has risen to more than million D rose tremendously during the twentieth century 22 What does the writer mean by saying communities used to live in worlds inside of a bigger world? A In the past people knew little about faraway places B In the past people only cared about themselves C Most people didn't travel very much in the past D Most people cared about what was happening in the bigger world 23 What changed after the experience of two world wars?

A people can access huge sources of information thanks to the Internet B people can enjoy the convenience brought about by the Internet C people can watch a lot of TV shows thanks to Internet connection D people can purchase furnitures for their homes on the Internet 30 What is the best title for the passage?

Do the only intelligent people belong to high IQ organisations such as MENSA? Is there social, musical, military, marketing, motoring, political intelligence? Defining what constitutes intelligent behaviour requires a personal value judgement as to what type of behaviour, and what kind of person is of more worth The current state of psychological wisdom about bilinguals is that, where two languages are well-developed, bilinguals have thinking advantages over monolinguals To illustrate, when a child is asked a simple question: How many uses can you think when offered a brick? Some children give two or three answers: building walls or a house Another child pours out ideas continuously: blocking up a rabbit hole, breaking a window, using as a bird bath, as a plumb line, as an abstract sculpture in an art exhibition Global research shows that bilinguals are more fluent, flexible, original and elaborate to open-ended questions The person who thinks of a few answers is a convergent thinker They converge onto conventional answers People who think of different uses for unusual items (e.g a brick, tin can, cardboard box) are divergent thinkers who like a variety of answers and are imaginative and fluent in thinking “Balanced" bilinguals may have temporary and occasionally permanent advantages over monolinguals: increased sensitivity to communication, speedier movement through the stages of cognitive development, and being less fixated on the sounds of words and more centred on the meaning of words Such ability tends to be a temporary competitive edge for bilinguals around the ages from four to six, which means an initial head start in learning to read and to think about language For questions 31-36, choose the correct heading for paragraphs B-G from the list of headings below List of Headings i No single definition of intelligence ii Faulty testing, wrong conclusion iii Welsh research supports IQ testing iv Beware: inadequate for selling intelligence v International research supports bilingualism vi Current thought on the advantage bilinguals have vii Early beliefs regarding bilingualism viii Monolinguals ahead of their bilingual peers ix Exemplifying the bilingual advantage 32 Paragraph C 33 Paragraph D 34 Paragraph E 35 Paragraph F 36 Paragraph G For questions 37-40, the following statements agree with the information given? TRUE 9|Page if the statement agrees with the information Example: Paragraph A: vii 31 Paragraph B FALSE NOT GIVEN 37 38 39 40 if the statement contradicts the information if there is no information on this Balanced bilinguals have more permanent than temporary advantages over monolinguals Often bilinguals concentrate more on the way a word sounds than on its meaning Monolinguals learn to speak at a younger age than bilinguals Bilinguals just starting school might pick up certain skills faster than monolinguals Your answers: 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 D WRITING (50 points) Part Provided below is a table demonstrating information about the subway systems in six cities In about words, summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant (20 points) ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 10 | P a g e ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 11 | P a g e ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Part Essay writing (30 points) Write an essay of about 250 words to express your opinion on the following topic: Parents should get punishment in some ways if their children break the law Do you agree with this opinion?
