the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to the same in a more luxurious setting And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants 66 What topic is this passage primarily concerned with? A rules of etiquette B instruction in proper etiquette C the importance of good manners D variable and universal standards of etiquette 67 According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette? A tucking a napkin in your shirt B not throwing food on the floor C reading a magazine at a coffee shop D eating in rustic settings 68 According to the passage, requires sensitivity and experience A learning the proper etiquette B asking for instructions C knowing the type of restaurant D knowing about an area 69 The word "rustic" in the passage is closest in meaning to A agricultural B ancient C unsophisticated D urban 70 The word "tuck" in the passage is closest in meaning to A put B set C hold D fold 71 The word "sophisticated" in the passage could best be replaced by A expensive B cultured C famous D exclusive 72 The author uses the phrase "safe to say" in order to demonstrate that the idea is A somewhat innocent B quite certain C very clever D commonly reported 73 The word "indiscriminately" could best be replaced by A randomly B angrily C noisily D destructively 74 The word "draw" in the passage is closest in meaning to A pick out B drag away C evoke D infer 75 What is the author's main purpose in this passage? A to assist people in learning sophisticated manners B to describe variations in restaurant manners C to simplify rules of restaurant etiquette D to compare sophisticated and rustic restaurants Part 3: Questions 76 – 85 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the text and fill in one word which best fits each gap Our oceans are becoming extremely polluted Most of this (76) ……… comes from the land, which means it comes from people Firstly, there is raw (77) …… , which is pumped directly (78) …… the sea Many countries, both developed and developing, are guilty (79) …… doing this Secondly, ships drop about million tons of garbage into the (80) …… each year Thirdly, there are oil spills from ships A ship has (81) …… accident and oil leaks from the vessel This not (82) …… pollutes the water, but it also kills marine life Next, there (83) …… waste materials from factories Without proper regulations, factory owners let the waste run directly into the rivers, (84) …… then leads to the sea And finally, oil is washed from the land This can be (85) …… result of carelessness or a deliberate dumping of waste SECTION IV: WRITING (4.0 points) Part 1: Questions from 86 to 90.(2 point- 0.4/ each) Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it 86 It is said that he escaped to a neutral country  He ……………………………………………………………… 87 Although he was very tired, he agreed to play tennis  Tired ……………………………………………………………… 88 “You have done really well to pass your driving test so quickly.” She said to me  She congratulated ……………………………………………………………… 89 I regret not going to the airport to say goodbye her  I wish ……………………………………………………………… 90 As he grew older, he became more and more forgetful  The older ……………………………………………………………… Part 2: Questions from 91 to 92.(2 points - 0.4/ each) Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given Do not change the word given 91 You must never let anyone use your Identity Card should  Under ………………………………………let anyone else use your identity card 92 Many people believe that Edison has the ability to become world judo champion capable  Many people believe that Edison …………………………………the world championship in judo 93 My passport needs renewing because I´m going abroad this summer get  I need ………………………………………because I´m going abroad this summer 94 Clara said that she had not seen the missing letter having  Clara ………………………………………the missing letter 95 It's important to consider everyone's opinion before a final decision is made account  Everyone's opinion must ………………………………………before a final decision is made ……………………THE END …………………… KEYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgY3ilt7OQY
