A Lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession B Low salary and foreign competition C Fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs D Declining population and economic prosperity The first paragraph is mainly concerned with which of the following? A Factors contributing to the decline in MBA students B A current trend affecting the nation's business schools C The difference between Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford D Two decades of hard times for business schools 10 As used in the second paragraph, the word "struggling" is closest in meaning to: A evolving B plunging C starting D striving III Read the following passage Choose from the sentences (A-G) below which best fits in each numbered gap (1-5) There is one extra sentence which you not need to use There is an example at the beginning(0) Carnival is definitely not a spectator sport It’s very difficult to get carried away by the atmosphere unless (0) _G _ and by that I mean wearing a disguise of some kind, even if it’s nothing more than a mask or a funny hat In fact, the number of people (1) _ is usually fairly small, so you will almost certainly be conspicious out of fancy dress You are bound to regret not having gone to a bit of trouble when (2) _ having the time of their lives Ask a friend to lend you a costume if (3) _ You may even find that (4) _ If all else fails, you can always improvise with old streets and clothes, after all, you don’t have to look spectacular, elegant or beautiful, but you should try to enter into the spirit of the festivities if (5) _ A you not have one D they are available for hire somewhere B who not bother to dress up E you want to enjoy them C who don’t want to make trouble F you see every body else G you are taking part yourself IV Fill in each numbered space with one suitable word I’d like to talk about some of the problems that students face (1) _ they follow a course of study through the medium of English (2) _ English is not their mother tongue The problems can be (3) _ into three broad categories: psychological, cultural and linguistic The first two categories mainly affect those (4) come to study in Britain I’ll comment only briefly on these two categories and then spend most of the time looking at linguistic difficulties apply to everyone Some of the common psychological problems really involve fear of the unknown: for (5) , whether one’s academic studies will be too difficult Looking at the cultural problems, we can see that some of them are of a very practical nature, e.g arranging satisfactory accommodation Others are less easy to define (6) largest category seems to be linguistic Let’s look at this (7) some detail Most students, in their (8) countries, will have little opportunity to practise using (9) When foreign learners first have the opportunity to speak to an English-speaking person they may have a shock: they often have great (10) _ in understanding PART III WRITIG: (6.0 pts) I Finish the second sentence in each pair in such a way that it means the same as the first one He has never been on board a ship before This is the first ……….………………………… …………………………… ………… David finds it easy to make friends David has ……………………………………….……………………… …………… Finish eating first, then you can watch TV You can’t watch TV……………………….… ………………………….……….……… In spite of her tiredness, she managed to finish her work Although ………………………………………………………… ………….…………… No messages have come for me, have they?
