more than half of the total population of the United Kingdom - turned their television sets to BBC and spent the next hour and ten minutes in the company of a rather tall man call Eric and a rather short man called Ernie It was an extraordinary night for British television It was - at least as far as that catholic and capacious category known as “light entertainment” was concerned - as close as British television had ever come, in some forty one years of trying, to being a genuine mass medium None of the usual rigid divisions and omissions were apparent in the broad audience of that remarkable night: no stark class bias, no pronounced gender imbalance, no obvious age asymmetry, no generalized demographic slant It was also, of course, an extraordinary night for the two stars of the show: Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise - by far the most illustrious, and the best - loved, double - act that British has ever produced Exceptionally professional yet endearingly personable, they were wonderful together as partners, as friends, as almost a distinct entity: not “Morecambe and Wise” but “Morecambewise” There was Eric and there was Ernie: one of them an idiot, the other a bigger idiot, each of them half a star, together a whole star, forever hopeful of that “brand new, bright tomorrow” that they sang about at the end of each show True, Eric would often slap Ernie smartly on the cheeks, but they clearly thought the world of each other, and the world thought a great deal of them, too There show succeeded in attracting such a massive following on that memorable night because it had, over the course of the previous years or so, established, and then enhanced, and enviable reputation for consistency, inventiveness, unparalleled professional polish and, last but by no means least, a strong and sincere respect for its audience The Morecambe & Wise Show stood for something greater, something far more precious, than mere first-rate but evanescent entertainment; it has come to stand - just as persuasively and as proudly as any earnest documentary or any epic drama - for excellence in broadcasting, the result not just of two gifted performers (great talent, alas, does not of itself guarantee that great television) but also of a richly proficient and supremely committed production team The show, culminating in the record-breaking triumph of that 1977 special represented an achievement in high-quality popular program-making that is now fast assuming the aura of a fairy tale - destined, one fears, to be passed on with bemused fascination from one doubtful generation to its even more disbelieving successor as the seemingly endless proliferation of new channels and novel forms of distraction continue to divide and disperse the old mass audience in the name of that remorseless quest for “quality demographics” and “niche audiences” The Morecambe & Wise Show appeared at a time before home video, before home satellite dishes and cable technology, before the dawning of digital revolution, a time when it was still considered desirable to make a television program that might - just might - excite most of the people most of the time Neither Morecambe nor Wise ever looked down on, or up at, anyone (except, of course, each other); both of them looked straight back at their audience, on level terms No celebrated was ever allowed to challenge this comic democracy: within the confines of the show, the rich and famous went unrecognized and frequently unpaid (a running gag); venerable actors with grand theatrical reputations were mocked routinely by Eric’s sotto voce comments; and two resolutely down-to-earth working-class comedians gleefully reaffirmed the remarkably deep, warm and sure relationship that existed between themselves and the British public “It was,” reminisced Ernic Wise, “a sort of great big office party for the whole country, a bit of fun people could understand.” From the first few seconds of their opening comic routine to the final few notes and motions of their closing song and dance, Morecambe and Wise did their very best to draw people together rather than drive them apart Instead of pandering submissively to the smug exclusivity of the cognoscenti (they were flattered by a well-regarded critic praised the sly “oeillade” that accompanied Eric’s sarcastic asides, but they still mocked him mercilessly for his use of the word), and instead of settling - as so many of their supposed successors would with unseemly haste - for the easy security of a “cult following”, Morecambe and Wise always aimed to entertain the whole nation When viewers watched that show at the end of 1977, they witnessed a rare and rich compendium of the very best in popular culture: the happy summation of a joint career that had traversed all of the key development associated with the rise of mass entertainment in Britain, encompassing the faint but still discernible traces of Victorian music-hall, the crowded animation of Edwardian Variety, the wordy populism of the wireless, the spectacular impact of the movies and, finally, the more intimate pervasiveness of television When that career was all over, it was sorely missed They were simply irreplaceable 98 The writer implies in the first paragraph that one reason why the show on 25 December 1977 was extraordinary was that _) A light entertainment programs had been the targets of criticism before then B no one had thought that a British television program could appeal to all classes C its audience included people who might not have been expected to watch it D people tuning into it knew that they were taking part in a phenomenal event 99 The word capacious in paragraph is closest in meaning to A large B spacious C roomy D restricted 100 In the second paragraph, the writer implies that Morecambe and Wise _ A would probably not have been successful had they been solo performers B had a different relationship in real life from the one they had on television C were keen for audiences to realize how professional they were D probably did not know how popular they were 101 The writer says in the third paragraph that one reason why the Morecambe& Wise Show remained so popular was that _ A it adapted to changes in audience attitudes to what constituted good entertainment B it appealed to people who normally preferred other kinds of program C the people who made it knew that its popularity was guaranteed D the contribution of people other than its stars was a key element in it 102 The writer suspects that The Morecambe& Wise Show will in the future be regarded as _ A something which might only catch on with certain audiences B something which has acquired an exaggerated reputation C the kind of program that program - makers will aspire to D the kind of program that illustrates the disadvantages of technological advances 103 The word evanescent in paragraph most likely means _ A transient B contemptible C malevolent D cynical 104 According to the writer, one feature of the Morecambe& Wise Show was A the way in which it reflected developments in British society B its inclusion of jokes that only certain people would understand C the consistent way in which other stars were treated on it D its careful choice of other stars to appear on it 105 In the six the paragraph, the writer implies that _ A other comedians have attempted to appeal to only a particular group of people B Morecambe and Wise usually disregarded what critics said about them C other comedians have not accorded Morecambe and Wise the respect they deserve D Morecambe and Wise realized that there were some people who would never like them 106 In the last paragraph, the writer implies that one remarkable feature of the show was that _ A it exceeded even the expectations of its audience B it contained elements that could have been regarded as old-fashioned C it showed the similarities between earlier forms of entertainment D it contained a hint of sadness despite being so entertaining 107 The word compendium in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A performance B perfection C attempt D combination Part Read the following text and the tasks that follow Task The Reading Passage above has seven paragraphs A-I From the list of headings below, choose the most suitable heading for each paragraph Write the appropriate numbers (i-xi) Paragraph A has been done for you LIST OF HEADINGS i A fresh and important long-term goal ii Charging for roads and improving other transport methods iii Changes affecting the distances goods may be transported iv Taking all the steps necessary to change transport patterns v The environmental costs of road transport vi The escalating cost of rail transport vii The need to achieve transport rebalance viii The rapid growth of private transport ix Plans to develop major road networks x Restricting road use through charging policies alone xi Transport trends in countries awaiting EU admission European Transport Systems 1990 - 2010 What have been the trends and what are the prospects for European transport systems? A It is difficult to conceive of vigorous economic growth without an efficient transport system Although modern information technologies can reduce the demand for physical transport by facilitating teleworking and teleservices, the requirement for transport continues to increase There are two key factors behind this trend For passenger transport, the determining factor is the spectacular growth in car use The number of cars on European Union (EU) roads saw an increase of three million cars each year from 1990 to 2010, and in the next decade, the EU will see a further substantial increase in its fleet B As far as goods transport is concerned, growth is due to a large extent to changes in the European economy and its system of production In the last 20 years, as internal frontiers have been abolished, the EU has moved from a “stock” economy to a “flow” economy This phenomenon has been emphasized by the relocation of some industries, particularly those which are labor intensive, to reduce production costs, even though the production site is hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from the final assembly plant or away from users C The strong economic growth expected in countries which are candidates for entry to the EU will also increase transport flows, in particular, road haulage traffic In 1998, some of these countries already exported more than twice their 1990 volumes and imported more than five times their 1990 volumes And although many candidate countries inherited a transport system which encourages rail, the distribution between modes has tipped sharply in favor of road transport since the 1990s Between 1990 and 1998 ， road haulage increased by 19.4%, while during the same period rail haulage decreased by 43.5%, although - and this could benefit the enlarged EU - it is still on average at a much higher level than in existing member states D However, a new imperative-sustainable development - offers an opportunity for adapting the EU's common transport policy This objective, agreed by the Gothenburg European Council, has to be achieved by integrating environmental considerations into Community policies, and shifting the balance between modes of transport lies at the heart of its strategy The ambitious objective can only be fully achieved by 2020, but proposed measures are nonetheless a first essential step towards a sustainable transport system which will ideally be in place in 30 years’ time, that is by 2040 E In 1998, energy consumption in the transport sector was to blame for 28% of emissions of CO2，the leading greenhouse gas According to the latest estimates, if nothing is done to reverse the traffic growth trend, CO2 emissions from transport can be expected to increase by around 50% to 1,113 billion tons by 2020, compared with the 739 billion tons recorded in 1990 Once again, road transport is the main culprit since it alone accounts for 84% of the CO2 emissions attributable to transport Using alternative fuels and improving energy efficiency is thus both an ecological necessity and a technological challenge F At the same time, greater efforts must be made to achieve a modal shift Such a change cannot be achieved overnight, all the less so after over half a century of constant deterioration in favor of road This has reached such a pitch that today rail freight services are facing marginalization, with just 8% of market share, and with international goods trains struggling along at an average speed of 18km/h Three possible options have emerged G The first approach would consist of focusing on road transport solely through pricing This option would not be accompanied by complementary measures in the other modes of transport In the short term, it might curb the growth in road transport through the better loading ratio of goods vehicles and occupancy rates of passenger vehicles expected as a result of the increase in the price of transport However, the lack of measures available to revitalize other modes of transport would make it impossible for more sustainable modes of transport to take up the baton H The second approach also concentrates on road transport pricing but is accompanied by measures to increase the efficiency of the other modes (better quality of services, logistics, technology) However, this approach does not include investment in new infrastructure, nor does it guarantee better regional cohesion It could help to achieve greater uncoupling than the first approach, but road transport would keep the lion’s share of the market and continue to concentrate on saturated arteries, despite being the most polluting of the modes It is therefore not enough to guarantee the necessary shift of the balance I The third approach, which is not new, comprises a series of measures ranging from pricing to revitalizing alternative modes of transport and targeting investment in the trans-European network This integrated approach would allow the market shares of the other modes to return to their 1998 levels and thus make a shift of balance It is far more ambitious than it looks, bearing in mind the historical imbalance in favor of roads for the last fifty years, but would achieve a marked break in the link between road transport growth and economic growth, without placing restrictions on the mobility of people and goods Example: Paragraph F _ 108 Paragraph A _ 109 Paragraph B 110 Paragraph C _ 111 Paragraph D 112 Paragraph E _ 113 Paragraph G 114 Paragraph H _ 115 Paragraph I _ Task 2: Do the following statements reflect the claims of the writer in the reading passage? Write YES if the statement reflects the claims of the writer NO if the statement contradicts the claims of the writer NOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this No 116 117 118 119 120 Statements TRUE FALSE NOT GIVEN The need for transport is growing, despite technological developments To reduce production costs, some industries have been moved closer to their relevant consumers Cars are prohibitively expensive in some EU candidate countries The Gothenburg European Council was set up 30 years ago By the end of this decade, CO2 emissions from transport are predicted to reach 739 billion tons D WRITING Part Rewrite each sentence using the word in brackets so that the meaning stays the same You must use between TWO and SIX words, including the word given 121 He doesn’t appreciate his wife (granted)  He takes 122 The bank robbers escaped in a stolen car (getaway)  The bank robbers made stolen car 123 William decided that an actor’s life was not for him (cut)  William decided that he was not an actor 10 124 Some people will anything to lose weight (lengths)  Some people will _ to lose weight 125 Some people say that Tsiolkovsky invented the space rocket (credited)  Tsiolkovsky is the invention of the space rocket Part Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence printed before it 126 My bank manager and I get on together very well (TERMS)  I am 127 Absolute secrecy was crucial to the success of the mission  Without _ 128 I don’t really like her, even though I admire her achievements  Much _ 129 She made sure everyone knew she was there as soon as she entered the building (PRESENCE)  No sooner _ 130.Whether his arrogance was fake or genuine, it only masked his insecurity (BE)  Behind _ Part Writing In some countries, young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to this Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience Write at least 250 words THE END 11 12 ... can be found from this space There may be more others like this in the pyramid and this discovery is expected to help the researchers find out how it was built To identify this space, not allowed... to the “Nature”, this is a significant discovery to the archaeology because since the 1800s, there has no other significant discovery like this (17) However, whether this can help to... were delighted C However delighted were we D As we were so delighted 32 Peter’s so !
