_ novel, playing the piano or painting (5) _ picture In many ways, people were almost forced to find (6) _ creative outlet in one form or another Things have changed a lot since then, however Now, a typical evening’s entertainment would be to spend (7) _ few hours in front of (8) _ television This is not really a very productive use of one’s time or energy and has maybe contributed to (9) _ breakdown of communication within (10) _ family II Give the correct form of the verbs in brackets Write your answers in the numbered spaces provided There is an example at the beginning (0) (2.0 points) In 1894 a steamship (0.SAIL) _was sailing _ across the Atlantic Ocean from England to America The sun (1.SHINE) _ and a gentle breeze (2.BLOW) _ The ship (3.SAIL) _ for three weeks and was half way to its destination – New York The passengers ( 4.RELAX) _ on deck when suddenly they heard a loud bang They all ( 5.JUMP) _ up, (6.RUN) _ to the edge of the boat and (7.LOOK) _ over the side

(0) (2.0 points) E-MAIL There can’t be many people who are ( AWARE) _unaware _ of e-mail, even if they have never actually sent one Although there are some ( 1.SIMILAR) between e-mail and letters, there are also many differences The first is that e-mail is delivered ( 2.INSTANT) , so it can be a very (3.EFFECT) means of communication when speed is important This speed means that e-mail is more ( 4.PRACTICE) for communicating over large distances Another difference is that e-mail tends to be (5.RELATIVE) informal People are much more likely to use language which they would consider (6.SUIT) for a formal letter Words spelled (7.CORRECT) in an e-mail are less likely to be checked than in a letter One (8.EXPLAIN) for this is that an e-mail seems to be less permanent than something written

which you will not need Section I has been done as an example (1.2 points) A Financial support B Local decisions C Influence of people’s interests D Materials about Morgan horses F Certain books stay in the library G Free services for everyone H A wide variety I Similar ways to arrange books E History of public libraries PUBLIC LIBRARIES Section I ………G………… The word public comes from a Latin word, publicus, meaning people A public library is for all the people in a community to use It charges no fee for its services The public library will have available, within the limits of its budget, a wide variety of books and other materials These books or other materials may be borrowed, or taken out for a specific time, by anyone in the community The library loans its materials Section II …………………… Public libraries are usually tax-supported There are a few that are instead supported from money that has been donated And there are some that receive part of their money from taxes and part from gifts Section III …………………… Few public libraries are exactly alike Not only are the shapes and sizes of the building different, but so are the number of books and other materials in each Your nearest library may be like the Los Angeles Public Library, which has over 4,538,458 books and bound periodicals (magazines and journals) in its collection Or it may be like the Cherokee County Public Library, which has only about 3,800 books in its collection Section IV …………………… Libraries vary in other ways, too, for instance, in the number of hours (or days) they are open or in the number of people who work there Most public libraries, however, arrange their books and other materials in similar ways They divide their collections into two basic age groups, children and adult Adult books are in one place; children’s books are in another Then the books are further separated by the kind of book Storybooks – works of fiction – are separated from information, or fact books - nonfiction Section V …………………… People often want to refer to, that is, look something up in a certain basic information book Thus reference books, which are rarely read cover to cover, are put in a special place in the library, a reference section or perhaps a reference room Reference books are never to be taken out of the library building Section VI …………………… Each library decides for itself how it should further arrange its books and other materials In a large city library, certain nonfiction materials may be put into a special area or separate room For instance, there may be a separate room just for all the materials a library has on music In another large city, the music materials might not be kept so separate It would depend on what the people in that city had indicated they found useful Section VII …………………… A library’s holdings are everything the library has in its collection These holdings almost always reflect the community’s special interests Suppose, for example, there were a town where Morgan horses were widely raised and trained That town’s library would most likely have a great deal of material about Morgan horses Since the people who were interested in Morgan horses would probably less interested in other breeds of horses, the library might have only a small amount of material on Mustangs or Appaloosas II Read the text below and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each space Put a tick (√) next to the correct answer There is an example at the beginning (0) (1.6 points) TOURISM Tourism is (0) business Millions of people around Europe (1) their winters planning their destination for the following summer, and their summers (2) to foreign countries for two weeks in the sun They are the modern-day descendants of the aristocrats and the wealthy who would (3) months to complete the ‘Grand Tour’ of Europe But unlike their forefathers, tourists these days get a bad press They’re not (4) in the local culture, we’re told; they’re just after the chance to behave a bit more wildly than they at home What’s (5) , they damage the local environment and don’t respect the locals and their (6) of life But are tourists really to (7) ? Or is it the (8) of the tourist industry, which has (9) to provide reasonably-priced alternatives? And if the local resort only offers a succession of bars for the tourists to visit, can we really (10) them for not doing more cultural activities? One holiday company, Far and Away, (11) that tourists are crying out for more cultural holidays and believes that it has (12) to come up with a range of package holidays which are affordable, culturally interesting, and environmentally friendly Their brochure, which is to be (13) later this month, offers 200 holidays based on cultural themes, (14) history and architecture, learning the language, meeting the locals and war and politics Will Far and Away (15) where other companies have failed?

A The increased use of private mail services B The development of a government postal system C A comparison of urban and rural postal services D The history of postage stamps What happened in the early days of the US postal system? A No postal charges were applied for letters B The recipients of letters had to pay the charges C The senders of letters had to pay the charges D The same charges were applied for all letters The word “varied” in line could best be replaced by A increased B differed C returned D started The word “covered” in line could best be replaced by A hid B protected C included D spread Which of the following was seen as a disadvantage of the postage stamp? A It had to be purchased by the sender in advance B It increased the cost of mail delivery C It was difficult to affix to letters D It was easy to imitate Why does the author mention the city of Philadelphia in line 9? A It was the site of the first post office in the United States B Its postal service was inadequate for its population C It was the largest city in the United States in 1847 D It was honored by the first United States postage stamp The word “cumbersome” in line 12 is closest in meaning to A troublesome B handsome C hateful D quarrelsome The word “they” in line 14 refers to A Boston and Philadelphia B Businesses C arrangements D letters The private postal services of the nineteenth century claimed that they could which of the following better than the government? A Deliver a higher volume of mail B Deliver mail more cheaply C Deliver mail faster D Deliver mail to rural areas 10 In 1863 the United States government began providing which of the following to mail carriers? A A salary B housing C transportation D free postage stamps 11 The word “confined” in line 21 is closest in meaning to A granted B scheduled C limited D recommended D WRITING (5.0 points) I Use suggestions to make complete sentences Make any changes necessary You can add more words but cannot omit the given words Write your answers in the space provided There is an example at the beginning (0) (1.6 points) He/ often/ go/ school/ foot He often goes to school on foot Nick/ not get/ good marks/ unless/ he/ study/ harder …………………………………………………………………………………………………… Last night/ after/ Tim/ have/ dinner/ he/ do/ homework/ bedroom …………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………… It/ such/ cold/ weather/ we/ just/ want/ stay/ indoors …………………………………………………………………………………………………… Martin/ try/ take/ medicine/ his cold …………………………………………………………………………………………………… Kate/ refuse/ lend/ man/ money/ because/ not/ meet/ him/ before …………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………… Fashion/ change/ every year/ and/ people/ nowadays/ love/ keep/ update trend …………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………… I/ glad/ you/ take part/ Summer camp/ International students/ my city/ next May …………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………… If/ it/ not/ be/ for/ his innocence/ he/ not/ got/ trouble …………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………… II Finish each second sentence so that it has similar meaning to the first sentence, using the clues at the beginning of each sentence There’s an example at the beginning (0) (1.4 points) Ryota started working here in 2011  Ryota has been working here since 2011 Driving fast is dangerous, whether you are an experienced driver or not  However In spite of all our warnings, he walked into the woods alone  Although we _ It is said that his wife died in a foreign country  His wife _ The cook said that they had run out of cooking oil  The cook said that there wasn’t _ On arriving at an airport, I usually go straight to the check-in desk  I usually go straight to the check-in desk as _ Such success has not been achieved by many players in the world of ice hockey  Only a few _ You must show your student card as you enter the library  You are _ III Writing an argument: (2.0 points) It is said that ‘Living in a big city gives us lots of advantages’ What’s your opinion?
