It is sometimes said that 'Your schooldays are the happiest days of your life', and people often feel that this should be a period of enjoyment However, exams often affect students' happiness, and many students express a preference for (34) _ methods of assessment, where the work they do throughout the year counts towards their final mark They say that exams test short- term memory and knowledge (35) is forgotten immediately after the exam (36) , assessing coursework as part of the final mark changes students' behaviour, making them more responsible about studying
There are (37) students, however, who prefer final examinations, saying that in comparison they only have to work hard for two months a year and so they have more time for their leisure activities They say that some students receive assistance with their coursework from their parents, so it is not an accurate (38) _ of how hard they have worked or of their real ability in the subject they are studying

Thomas Edison is famous for inventing the light bulb But not many people know that in the 1920s he
invented the first employment test to recruit staff for his research laboratory It had questions in it like,
‘Who killed President Lincoln?’ and ‘Where is the Sargasso Sea?’ It was difficult to answer the questions and only a few people managed to pass the test Nowadays we would ask: Is it really necessary to know things like this if you want to work for an inventor?
Now, a hundred years later, employment tests are still used by companies, but are very different in what they test The way that companies recruit new staff has also changed One recent trend in recruitment is ‘gamification’ Gamification, in general, means using characteristics of games (e.g scoring points, competing with others and rules of play) to add some fun to situations that are usually more serious One of the first companies which has used gamification to recruit new staff is the cosmetics company, L'Oréal
L'Oréal created an online computer game called Reveal, where you try to solve real-life problems in a
virtual environment The best players were invited for an interview
Another company, the international hotel group Marriott, developed a Facebook game, My Marriott HotelTM to attract young people to a career in the hotel industry In the game, players managed a virtual
hotel kitchen The game could be played in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Mandarin It was designed to recruit staff in markets outside the USA The game was a great success and brought thousands of people to the Marriott Facebook career page Experts believe gamification is likely to become so common in recruitment that perhaps we should all train as game designers!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
If you go walking in the hills of La Gomera, you might be lucky enough to hear local people
communicating in Silbo Gomero Silbo is unique in that it is whistled, not spoken Anybody who hasn't
heard of the language could easily confuse it with birdsong La Gomera is a tiny Spanish island, just the tip of a volcano sticking out of the sea, off the coast of north-west Africa Its steep hills and deep ravines make it difficult to cross Whistling is perfect for communicating here, as whistles can be heard from up to seven kilometres away
Silbo comes from the Spanish silbar meaning 'to whistle', and Gomero means 'from La Gomera' When the first European settlers arrived at La Gomera in the 15th century, the islanders - of North African origin
– were already communicating with whistles When the Spanish arrived, the locals adapted the whistling
language to Spanish
Silbo consists of four vowels and four consonants which can be whistled in different ways to make over 4,000 words A finger is placed in the mouth to create a stronger whistle and the other hand is cupped
next to the mouth to control its direction In the 1950s, economic difficulties forced many whistlers to
emigrate from La Gomera This, the growing road network and, later, the development of mobile phones all contributed to the decline of Silbo
In 1999, in an attempt to prevent the language from becoming completely extinct, Silbo was made a compulsory subject in La Gomera's primary schools In 2009, the language was awarded the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity designation Some locals disapprove of this, saying it is a peasant language that should be left to die out Others believe it should be preserved as it is part of the islanders' cultural identity They also argue that in much of the island you cannot depend on telephone coverage, so it is an essential form of communication
(Adapted from Navigate by Rachael Roberts and Caroline Krants)
Question 44 Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A The Extinction of an Ancient Language
B Attempts to Bring a Dead Language Back to Life! C Whistling: The Emblem of Peace on An Unusual Island D Silbo Gomero: The Revival of an Ancient Whistling Language
Question 45 The word unique in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _
Question 46 According to paragraph 1, why is Silbo Gomero ideal for communicating in La Gomera?
A Because some of the locals have hearing impairments
B Because members of other tribes can be puzzled when hearing it C Because it’s difficult to travel across the island to speak to someone D Because whistling can help send warning signals to other people Question 47 The word adapted in paragraph 2 mostly means _
Question 48 The word its in paragraph 3 refers to _
Question 49 Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A Students at La Gomera’s primary schools are obliged to speak Silbo all the time
C The decline of Silbo can be partly attributed to the prevalence of using mobile phones D Different sounds of Silbo can be whistled to convey the same meaning
Question 50 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A The locals in La Gomera are divided on the preservation of the ancient language of Silbo B The award given by UNESCO contributed to the success of reviving Silbo
C The use of mobile phones is quite reliable on the island of La Gomera
D The economic climate in the past was favourable for the continued existence of Silbo
