WORDS from the text in each gap Write your answer in the numbered box below The first one has been done for you as an example (00) Scientist Paul Johnson of the Scripps Research Institute had a very serious goal when they decided to feed a lot of junk food to a group of rats They wanted to understand what happened in the brains of obese (very fat) people They observed that the more junk food the rats ate, the more they wanted and that the brain chemistry behind obesity and serious drug addiction seemed to be very similar In their experiment the scientists studied the “pleasure centre” of rat’s brains These centres are a complicated network of nerve cells, which perform as a sort of reward system in the bodies of many mammals If the animal becomes active or eats, the cells reward it by releasing chemicals into the body that make it feel good And when the body feels good, the animal or person will want to the behaviour again However, pleasure centres can release chemicals in less healthy ways too Strong drugs like cocaine or heroin can prompt the process and they can cause the pleasurable chemicals to be released One rat group was fed junk, like fatty and sugary cheesecake, burgers and crisps, while the other group received a nutritious diet Very quickly it was seen that the rats eating healthy food took in only half the calories of their junk-food-eating counterparts, who just ate more and more To find out why this happened, a way of artificially stimulating the rat’s pleasure centres was devised A small electrical charge was sent to these centres when the rats ran round and round on an exercise wheel The more the rats ran, the more pleasure they received The junk food eating rats more and more suggesting that they need more stimulation to feel good compared with rats on a healthy diet In the other words, their pleasure centres were becoming less sensitive and the junk food didn’t make them feel good unless they kept consuming it Kenny and Johnson also found that the effects were very hard to reserve in the ‘addicted’ rats After they took away the junk food and the offered the rats a nutritious, normal diet, the fat rats refused to eat They starved themselves for up to two weeks afterwards Such experiments may point towards an understanding of how chemicals in the brain contribute to obesity and how we may be able to help people avoid it and all its health problems Đề thi gồm 10 trang Trang 4/10 www.sciencenewsforkids.org 00 (example) There seemed to be a similarity between the brain’s processes which result in both obesity and _ The

was buried in an avalanche in Colorado There was no warning It was instant All of a sudden I was curled in a ball Then it was over and I was buried under about fifty feet of snow It was totally dark My mouth was packed with snow and the pressure was enormous It was hard to breathe and I didn’t know which direction was up I thought I was already dead Fortunately, I had my hands over my face so I cleared the snow out of my mouth and then I started screaming I absolutely lost it – I was out of my mind, and then I noticed my tears were running across my face so I realized I must be lying kind of upside down Now I felt determined to get out I dug for twenty two hours, and when I finally saw the first little bit of light I was over the moon, although it was fourteen hours before anyone found me B Robert Caro was on the boat with the New Zealand Police Search and Rescue team when he nearly drowned When we hit the wave, I was thrown against the window, which smashed and let in a tremendous volume of water There was no air, just pitch darkness, noise, and violent movement I had no idea the boat had overturned I felt sad, anxious and despairing, and the fear of drowning was unbearable I couldn’t hold my breath any longer and at this point I had a vision of my wife and sons waving me goodbye, and I felt at peace But then I grabbed a stair rail and found myself back in the real world I managed to pull myself up to the surface and then had to deal with the shock and hypothermia Trying to stay afloat kept my mind off it, although I had to fight the desire to go to sleep When the helicopter arrived soon afterwards, I vividly remember feeling disconnected from the people who were there to save me Đề thi gồm 10 trang Trang 7/10 C George Nelson survived a tornado in Mississippi I heard the warning on the television and had just enough time to lie down and cover my head with my arms The feel of a twister approaching is like a goods train – that low, ever-louder howl and the shuddering ground First, a sheet of rain sprayed against the side of my trailer like machine-gun fire I could hear trees snapping, and the roof began to come off as the trailer started moving up and down Just as I felt the entire trailer lift off the ground, I lost consciousness and woke up twenty minutes later face-down outside The evening was completely quiet, no wind, no cars, no insect noises I had gone through the trailer wall, ended up thirty feet up in a tree, and then dropped to the ground I had concussion, a collapsed lung, cracked ribs and a shattered leg My injuries should have killed me but the surgeons sewed me back together again D Max Dearing was on the golf course in North Carolina when lightning struck It happened on a lovely July afternoon while I was playing golf with friends from work When it started to drizzle, we decided to get under a shelter We were standing there teasing each other and I remember the air had an unusual sweet smell When the lightning struck, I felt absolutely frozen, but then part of me was boiling hot too I saw these flashing lights and there was such an incredibly loud noise that I couldn’t hear anything for a while My arms and legs felt heavy Every bit of my body – including my hair, my eyelashes – hurt It was a dull ache and yet so sharp at the same time, like a bad headache and needles being stuck in every part of my body Section (0,60pt) You are going to read a newspaper article Seven sentences have been removed from the article Choose from the sentences A–H the one which fits each gap (0–30) There is one extra sentence which you not need to use An example is done at the beginning of this article (0) Write your answer on YOUR ANSWER part THE FUTURE OF ENTERTAINMENT More than ever, media is separating into mass market blockbusters on the one hand and ‘niche’ products – attracting small groups of people with similar interests – on the other Everything else is struggling to compete Chris Hemsworth makes films about the romantic lives of young people in the city He shoots quickly with a digital camera and asks actors to wear their own clothes 0. _| By keeping his costs down and distributing digitally, Mr Hemsworth is making a living Technology was expected to help young people like him A few years ago it was predicted that the internet would vastly increase the supply of small independent films and other niche media products and increase their audiences That has certainly happened 25. _| Blockbusters are also tightening their grip on audiences, whether it’s in the area of film, music, television or books The growth of both niche products and huge sell-out successes has been at the expense of the things in the middle, which are just quite popular – the near-misses 26. _| As in the past, people still want to have something to talk about with their friends Which is why talent shows such as American Idol pretty much as well as they did ten years ago, and why the latest blockbuster still breaks new records at the box office Research shows that people still choose blockbusters more often than less well-known books and films This is probably because people tend to try only things they have heard of – which for many people means media-hyped blockbusters Đề thi gồm 10 trang Trang 8/10 Furthermore, all the technology that has made niche content so much more accessible has also proved handy for pushing blockbusters Missed the last popular film? 27. _| Blockbusters are doing well not in spite of the fact that people have more choice in entertainment, but because of it Imagine walking into a music shop which has more than 10 million songs, as iTunes does, all of them arranged alphabetically Making up your mind would be impossible! 28. _| Is this increasingly more common separation into blockbusters and niches good or bad? It certainly makes life harder for media companies In a world where entertainment choices are growing, it is more important than ever to make a big impact with your product 29. _| The possibility of failing can make people anxious and more conservative Television programmes must be successful quickly or they will be cancelled It is becoming even harder to talk the decision-makers in the movie industry into approving films if they are not confident there is a demand for them These days, with so many options, there is rarely nothing good on television So the media industry must raise its game Intelligent people naturally wish that more money were available to produce the kind of music, films and television programmes they like 30. _| Some may love watching a programme about the history of dance; others may want to spend an hour being told how to look after pet snakes But not many want to either of these things, which explains why such programmes are niche products There are only a few things that can be guaranteed to delight large numbers of people They are known as blockbusters A Don’t worry, because there will be other chances to see it, in a wide variety of formats B The problem is that everybody has different ideas about exactly what they want to watch C If it isn’t a hit, it will have to fight for attention together with thousands – perhaps millions – of other offerings D State broadcasters like the CNN have some protection from the poor economic climate E However, so has the opposite F So, rather than having to decide, it’s much easier to just grab what everybody is talking about G There are several reasons why big hits still so well H His low-budget films are hardly ever shown in cinemas Your answer H (Example) 25 29 30 Đề thi gồm 10 trang 26 27 28 Trang 9/10 SỐ PHÁCH Do Hội đồng chấm thi ghi PART FOUR: WRITING (2,00 pts) Section (0,50pt) Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first one, using the word given Do not change the word given You must use between THREE AND FOUR WORDS, including the word given She has a good relationship with all her students (GETS) She _ all her students Get some more money; you might need it (IN) Get some more money, _ it Is it OK if I park my car here?
