Trang 4/7 Part 3: You are going to read a newspaper article about the problems caused by acid rain Six sentences have been removed from the article Choose from the sentences A–G the one which fits each gap (0–5) Number (0) has been done for you There is one extra sentence which you not need to use (5 points) RUINING THE RUINS Acid rain is now a familiar problem in the industrialized countries in Europe Gases like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are produced by power stations and cars (0) _E _ Acid rain is also capable of dissolving some rocks, and buildings made of soft rock, such as limestone, are particularly badly affected The acid rain attacks the rocks, and so carvings and statues are eroded more quickly (1) _ According to a report in the New Scientist, acid rain is being blamed for the rapid decay of ancient ruins in Mexico The old limestone buildings in places like Chichen Itza and Palenque are wearing away very quickly indeed These sites are the remains of the buildings built by the Mayas between 250 BC and AD 900, and the spectacular ruins of Mayan civilization are visited by thousands of tourists every year But those ruins are in danger of being seriously damaged by pollution At many sites the stone has been covered with a layer of black substance like tar (2) _ Scientists estimate that about one millimeter of stone is worn away every twelve years (3) _ The acid rain is said to be caused by pollution from oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico Car exhaust gases are also a problem Local volcanic eruptions make the problem even worse Nevertheless, with enough money and effort, researchers say that many of the problems could be solved and the rate of erosion reduced (4) Mexico’s current lack of funds is also partly due to oil The country has rich oil fields and a few years ago, when oil was expensive, Mexico was selling large quantities of oil to the USA and earning a lot of money (5) _ However, the price of oil then dropped, and Mexico has been left owing enormous sums of money and with not enough income from oil sales to pay back the loans So unless the price of oil rises, it is unlikely that Mexico will be able to afford to clean up the pollution and save its Mayan ruins from destruction A At others the painted surfaces inside temples are lifting and flaking off and the stone is being eaten away B That is enough to have caused some of the ancient carvings to become seriously damaged already C These measures would reduce the pollution, but would not stop it completely D The government was therefore able to borrow huge sums of money from banks around the world, thinking they would have no problem repaying their debts E They dissolve in rainwater and this makes acid rain, which damages trees, river and streams F The problem, however, is not just a European one G However, the Mexican government does not have enough money to the work, and needs to spend what money it has on the Mexican people Trang 5/7 IV WRITING (25 points) Part 1: For each question, complete the second sentence in such a way that it is as similar in meaning as possible to the one printed before it (5 points) The number of road accidents has soared in recent months There People no longer smoke so many cigarettes as they used to The smoking I don't intend to apologize to either of them I have Nobody expected her to lose, but she did Against I'm more interested in the people than the job It's not the Part 2: For each question, complete the second sentence in such a way that it has the closest meaning to the original one, using the WORD given DO NOT change this word You must use between THREE AND FIVE WORDS, including the word given (5 points) I found it difficult to follow the instructions TROUBLE I the instructions The neighbors’ all-night parties were too much for me, so I moved PUT I moved because I the neighbors’ all-night parties Nigel should leave soon if he’s catching the 8.30 train HAD Nigel if he’s catching the 8.30 train Things are much more expensive here than we thought they would be EXPECTED We had cheaper here The news was such a shock to them that they all sat there without saying a word SILENCE They all sat there so shocked by the news Part 3: Within from 200 to 250 words, write a short composition on the following topic (15 points) Should teenagers spend more time on such cultural activities as enjoying music or theatre, etc and less time on sports?
