In other words, why men die younger than women? Is it because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die before that happens? Perhaps they fear to be left alone by their women and so decide to the leaving first Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women Men are stronger physically, yet women can hang on longer to life Both men and women are emotional creatures but women are not afraid or ashamed to cry while men refuse to so They are afraid of being thought "soft" Some men, when they are upset, play loud music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings Many men like an orderly life so that they bury themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in wars where there is a definite chain of command There is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to fight against and defeat All these make men feel they live in a rational world So the majority of men like a rational world Rationality is fine but it does not include everything that makes life joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating When a man refuses to cry he is refusing to accept that his emotions are part of him Of course some men not follow this pattern Bob Hawke is capable of crying in public whereas Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer If we not suffer we are not really alive at all Suffering can be creative or destructive If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly, we are living creatively and adding something the human race We often say men suffer more from stress and therefore they die earlier Are we not saying in another way that they not know how to suffer in the right way - with tears and laughter instead of silence - and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just my theory of course Have you a better one? 36 What does the word "that" (the underlined word) in the passage refer to?

C02 is a normal component of the atmosphere and until recently has not been considered an air pollutant But average global CO2 concentrations have been increasing since 1860, with particularly sharp increase in 1958 The main reason for this continuous increase in C02 build-up is the burning of fossil fuels During the past 100 years, the C02 content of the atmosphere has already risen by about 15% - from about 290 to about 340 parts per million And it's still rising Although the C02 content of the atmosphere is only about 0.032%, it's a major factor in determining average global temperature Incoming sunlight consists of many wavelengths including some very dangerous ones But ozone in the upper atmosphere and water vapor and C02 in the lower atmosphere filter out or destroy most of the harmful wavelengths, so what reaches the Earth is mostly visible light It's absorbed by land, sea and cloud and is reradiated in the atmosphere as longer wavelength infrared radiation, or heat, as the Earth cools Much of this infrared radiation is absorbed by C02 The C02 then radiates a portion of the absorbed heat energy back to the Earth to warm the atmosphere Rather like the glass in a greenhouse or a car window on sunny day, C02 in the atmosphere acts as a one-way filter that allows visible light to enter the Earth's atmosphere, but prevents longer wavelength heat radiation from leaving Assuming that energy is arriving from the sun at a constant rate, then as the level of C02 increases, the average surface temperature of the earth should rise 36 What is the purpose of using a greenhouse? A to give an example of atmospheric changes caused by man B to magnify temperature to grow plants requiring high temperatures C to give an example of buildings whose sides and roof are made of glass D to indicate the rising level of C02 in the earth's atmosphere 37 What is mainly discussed in paragraph 1? A The sides and roof of a greenhouse are made of glass B Plants need high temperatures to grow C What is the "Greenhouse Effect"? D A greenhouse is used for growing plants 38 Why is C02 considered an air pollutant? A C02 is a normal component of the atmosphere B Global C02 concentrations have been increasing C C02 is a by-product of the burning of fossil fuels D C02 raises the surface temperature of the Earth 39 What is not true according to the information from the passage? A The level of C02 has risen by as much as 15% B The sun emits some very dangerous wavelengths C A portion of sunlight is filtered out before entering the Earth D C02 allows sunlight to enter and leave the Earth's atmosphere 40 What is the best title for the passage? A The "Greenhouse Effect" and how C02 warms the atmosphere B The level of C02 at present compared with that in the past C Ozone and water vapor with filtering out harmful wavelengths D The "Greenhouse Effect" used for growing plants QUESTIONS 41 - 45: Choose one option A, B, C or D corresponding to the sentence which has the same meaning as the original one and mark your choice on the answer sheet 41 These convicts were sent to Australia as punishment for their crimes A These criminals were punished and sent to Australia B These convicts punished themselves for their crimes by going to Australia C They sent these convicts to Australia, then punished them D Because of their crimes, these convicts were sent to Australia as punishment 42 If students have problems, you can ask questions to check their understanding A I advice you to ask questions to check their understanding B It's better to check their understanding by asking questions C Questions can be asked to check their understanding if students have problems D Asking questions to check their understanding if they have problems 43 I don’t think Jerry will win the tennis match A In my opinion, Jerry will not likely to win the tennis match B I will never think Jerry will win the tennis match C The fact is that Jerry won’t win the tennis match D Jerry will win the tennis match , I don’t think that 44 After days of searching, the captain found a fine harbor A The captain found a fine harbor; then he searched for days B The captain had searched for days before he could find a fine harbor C It took the captain some time to search for a fine harbor D The captain spent many days on exploring the fine harbor in the new place 45 There are many factors contributing to air pollution A Air pollution results in many consequences B Air pollution is the result of burning forests C Factors contributing to air pollution are numerous D Air pollution is contributing to these phenomena QUESTIONS 46 - 50: In these sentences, each one has four underlined words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D Choose the one word or phrase which must be changed in order for the sentence to be correct by circling letter A, B, C or D and then mark your choice on the answer sheet 46 The aim of this exercises is to practise using will for a future fact or prediction 47 Heavily polluted factories will be closed down sooner or latest 48 Tell students are going to hear three short conversations about food 49 I will never forget what has he done to me 50 Sue enjoyed the film is so much that she said she would go to the movie to see it again PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS - 2: Choose one word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from the rest in each group Identify your answer by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C or D Mark your choice on the answer sheet A hands B occasions C associates D others A frightened B stamped C walked D laughed QUESTIONS 3-5: Choose one option A, B, C or D corresponding to the word whose main stress is on the syllable in the position which is different from that of the others Identify your choice by circling letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet A compulsory B curriculum C nursery D certificate A average B aquatic C athletic D available A mathematics B sociology C chemistry D archaeology QUESTIONS - 20: These are incomplete sentences Choose A, B, C or D as your best choice to complete each sentence and then identify your answer by circling letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet should try to make good impression on interviewers A Apply B Applicants C Applying D Applied In England public schools are also called ……… Schools A private B state C free paying D independent Our company wants to take in those who are ……… for the job A available B useful C qualified D good Universities send letters of ……… to successful candidates by post A accept B acceptably C acceptable D acceptance 10 In your ……… letters you should mention your education, qualifications and work experience A applicant B apply C application D applicable 11 Don't forget to say goodbye to the interviewer ……… leaving the office A before B after C while D when 12 Children stay in secondary school ……… the age of sixteen A for B until C at D in 13 This clerk will provide us with the information about applying ……… universities in the UK A at B to C for D with 14 During the interview you should concentrate on ……… the interviewer is saying A when B that C what D where 15 Mary searched all over the house ……… she could not find the key A but B although C however D because 16 Does anyone know ……… this hat might belong?
