this is not often seen in the modern Russia, and may be some highly outdated norm 76 “Friends will welcome each other’s company” means that friends will try to make the other’s company go bankrupt and take it over 77 Friends are more intimate than acquaintances 78 In Russia, friends should call each otherby their first names alone or use diminutives 79 Neighbors and colleagues can become acquaintances only 80 Physical contact without sexual connotation between friends becomes out of date in the modern Russia Your answers: 76 …… 77 …… 78 …… 79 .…… 80 …… SECTION D: WRITING (20 POINTS) Part I: Finish the second sentence so that it means the same as the first one (10 pts) 81 She was wearing a mask because she didn’t want other people to recognize her  She was wearing a mask in order ………………………………………………………………………………… 82 “You should have waited for us,” the team leader said to Tom  The team leader criticized ………………………………………………………………………………………… 83 As soon as we had finished dinner, the thunderstorm broke  Hardly …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 84 I have visited all of these places but one  There is …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 85 It is said that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built over a 20-year period  The Great Pyramid of Giza ……………………………………………………………………………………… 86 “What would you if you won the first prize in this competition?” said Nam to Lan  Nam ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Page 4/5 87 It was Mr Nam who helped me find out the solution to this problem  Without …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 88 We can’t possibly work in this noise  It’s ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 89 Our boss insisted on our finishing the report by Monday  Our boss demanded that ………………………………………………………………………………………… 90 The book “Gone with the wind” was one of the best sellers Margaret Mitchell was famous for it  The book “Gone with the wind”…………………………………………………………………………………… Part II: Use the given and other words to complete the following sentences so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence Do not change the word given (5 pts) 91 Jane contacted a lawyer for some legal advice (to)  Jane contacted………………………………………………….…some legal advice 92 I didn’t like his behaviour at the party last night (way)  I didn’t like ………………………………………………………at the party last night 93 Bob couldn’t hear what the teacher was saying (something)  The teacher ………………………………………………………couldn’t hear it 94 Diana wasn’t always as rude as that (use to)  Diana …………………………………………………………….rude 95 Despite knowing the city well, I got lost (even)  I got lost …………………………………………………………the city well Part III: Complete the following sentences, using the prompts given (5 pts) 96 He / carry out / first / experiment / 1658 / sixteen  ……………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………… 97 We / happy / receive / donation / $1000 / company / some / day / ago  …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 98 A number / rare animals / be / danger / become / extinct / today  …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 99 Be / serious / ill / make / you / appreciate / health / more  …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 100 I / interest / practise / English / native speakers / and / want / get / information / contest  …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… The end!
