e-mail, even if they have never actually sent one Although there are some ( 1.SIMILAR) between email 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 on paper We can be sure that the future ( 9.DEVELOP) of e-mail will have all kinds of (10.EXPECT) effects on the way we communicate IV Write the verbs from the box in the gaps to complete these sentences You will use some of the verbs more than once (2.0 points) took cut put

below Write the appropriate letters (A-I) in the space provided next to each section There are two extra headings 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 E History of public libraries F Certain books stay in the library G Free services for everyone H A wide variety I Similar ways to arrange books 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?

(25) 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?

to increase his wealth The poor brother, whose name was Cho, shared with his neighbours what little he had By and by came a time when it rained for many days The rice in Cho’s little paddy would not

did not want to give his brother (5) valuable, but only to appear to be helping him Kim gave Cho a box of worms (6) he thought were near dead Cho thanked him and took them home Cho fed the worms _(7) with mulberry leaves and they grew fat and healthy Soon Cho had silk to sell When Kim heard of this he became enraged at his brother’s good fortune One night he sneaked down the hill and cut all Cho’s worms in half Instead of dying, each of Cho’s worms regenerated, so he had (8) many as before Upon hearing this, Kim became more enraged He went out into his own collection and cut all his own worms

following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions ( points ) In 1976, two American spacecraft landed on Mars in order to search for signs of life The tests that the Viking landers performed had negative results However, scientists still have questions about our close neighbour in space They want to investigate further into the possibility of life on Mars Scientists’ interrest in the Red Planet is based on an assumption They believe that 4.5 billion years ago, Mars and Earth began their existence under the similar conditions During the first billion years, liquid water- in contrast to ice- was abundant on the surface of Mars This is an indication that Mars was much warmer at that time Mars also had a thicker atmosphere of carbondioxide (CO2) Many scientists think it is possibly that life began under these favourable conditions After all, Earth had the same conditions during its first billion year, when life arose At some point in time, Earth developed an atmosphere which is rich in oxygen, and an ozone layer Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen The ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet light from the Sun While life not only began on Earth, it also survived and became more complex In contrast, Mars lost its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide Ultraviolet radiation intensified The planet eventually grew colder, and its water froze.(…) Scientists believe there are other areas on Mars that are similar to specific places on Earth which support life For example, an area in Antarctica, southern Victoria Land, which is not covered by ice, resembles an area on Mars In its dry valleys, the temperature in southern Victoria Land averages below zero, yet biologists found simple life forms ( microorganisms ) in rocks and frozen lakes Perhaps this is also true of places on Mars Scientists want another investigation on Mars They want to search for fossils, the ancient remains of life If life ever existed on Mars, future missions may find records of it under sand on or in the ice Even if future missions discover no evidence of past or present life on Mars, the new missions may clarify our understanding of how life begins Scientists will better understand the conditions that are necessary for survival of life – on Earth or in the universe They will look for the answers to other intriguing questions How is the earth different from Mars? How can we explain the development of life here on our planet and not on Mars, our close neighbour? Are we alone in the universe ? What is the main idea of the passage ? A Two spacecraft looked for evidence of life on Mars, but they were unsuccessful B Scientsts are interested in the possibility that there is or was life on Mars C Mars is quite similar to Earth but there is no form of life on it D Scientists are interested in how Mars is different from the Earth The phrase “ our close neighbour in space” reffers to A the Viking spacecraft B the Sun C Mars D people living on Mars Which of the following statements is not true ? A Mars and Earth had the same conditions at their beginning of existence B Life began and survived on Earth , not on Mars C.Mars and Earth are at the same age 226 D Mars was much warmer than the Earth during the first billion years According to paragraph 2, what form does the water on Mars have today? A liquid B solid C gas D We don’t know What CO2 and O3 in paragraph represent ? A chemical symbols B abbreviations C amounts of gases D the elements of the atmosphere According to paragrahp 4, what are “fossils” ? A a source of fuel B a part of natural resources C the ancient remains of lifeD the ancient remains of Martians What is the purpose of the dash ( – ) as used in the last paragraph ? A to add extra information B to give a definition C to give an explanation or example.D to connect two sentences In the beginning Earth and Mars were similar in that _ A Liquid water was abundant on their surface B Their atmosphere was rich in oxygen C Simple forms of life arose on both planets D They both lost their atmosphere of carbon dioxide Which of the following is not true ? A American spacecraft searched for signs of life on Mars in 1976 B Scientists not want to investigate life on Mars any more C Scientists believe there are other areas on Mars which support life D.Scientists believe they may find ancient remains of life on Mars under sand or ice 10 According to the passage, in the future scientists want to look for _ A evidence of past and present life on Mars B the condition necessary for the survival of life on Mars C the explanation for the development of life on Earth but not on Mars D the answers to the environmental problems III Read the passage and fill in each blank with one suitable word (1 point ) One warm day on late May, 43 students, two teachers, and six parents boarded the school bus for a trip to the National Zoo in Washington, DC In less than an hour they arrived The group had been studying nutrition and (1) about to learn what it takes to feed a zoo The zoo nutritionist was waiting for them when they arrived Before they went to see the animals, they got to take a peek at the area _(2) food is odered, received, and sorted The nutritionist pointed out that feeding about 7,000 animals is quite a feat “ You had (3)be amazed,” she said “ For example, a single gray seal eats about 25 pounds of fish a day Four big cats consume _(4) than 450 pounds of meat a week And, believe it or not, we order crickets from a criket farm - some 38,000 at a time.” The children were amazed as the nutritionist told them even more about the menu of incredible proportions Later , as the children walked around and observed the animals, they saw them in a different light In fact, they would never think of the zoo again (5) imagining the tons of food it takes to feed its residents PART D WRITING (5.0 points) I 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) (2 points) She was not used to driving on the left She found it strange to drive on the left It rained torrentially , but we all enjoyed the excursion Despite …………………………………………………………………………………… What a pity!
