first astronauts helped dispel the dangerous (42) that the world had no boundaries and had limitless resources (43) , ecologists have shown that all forms of life on earth are interconnected, so it

There is an example at the beginning (0) LANGUAGE VARIETY The fact that English has been spoken in England for 1,500 years but in Australia for only 200, explains (0) we have a great wealth of regional dialects in England that is more or less totally lacking in Australia It is often possible to tell where an English person comes from to (51) _ about 15 miles or less In Australia, where there has not been enough time for changes to bring about (52) _ regional variation, it is almost impossible to tell where someone comes from (53) _ all, although very small differences are now beginning to appear It is unlikely, however, that there will (54) _ be as much dialectal variation in Australia as there is in England This is because modern transport and communication conditions are very different from what they were 1,500 or (55) _ 100 years ago Even though English is now spoken in many different parts of the world many thousands of miles apart, it is very unlikely that English will ever break up into a number of different nonintelligible languages in the same way that Indo-European and Germanic (56) _ German and Norwegian became different languages because the ancestors of the speakers of these two languages moved apart geographically, and were no (57) _ in touch and communicating with one another In the modern world, barring unforeseen catastrophes, (58) _ will not happen at least in the near future As long as Americans and British people, for instance, are in touch with one another and want to communicate with one another, it is most unlikely that their

the suggested answers NOT fit at all Page of 13 pages STAYING HEALTHY IN SPACE The range of food available to astronauts is vast, and great care is taken to ensure that it looks and smells appetising Meals are organised to provide an average of 3,000 calories a day, which seem high for living in an enclosed environment in which there is no gravity But astronauts can expend a great deal of energy in doing the simplest things For example, if they try to turn a handle, they turn themselves as well If they bend down to up a shoelace, (61) Finding unusual ways of doing such ordinary things uses up the excess calories The space diet is balanced rather differently from a terrestrial diet This is to try and compensate for changes that take place in the body during space flight Bodily changes begin as soon as astronauts go into space (62) Among the most serious is calcium loss, which causes a marked reduction in the mass and strength of bones There is also a progressive loss of red blood cells What causes these effects is not known, (63) The heart muscles, with no gravity to battle against, start to waste away The leg muscles start to waste away too, since walking, as done on Earth, (64) Exercise also helps to reduce muscle wastage (65) No one yet knows the limit of human endurance in space If astronauts can withstand two years or more of continuous weightlessness, then mankind's dream of visiting other planets (66) _ A and the question must be answered before long-duration space-flight is really safe B and are quite noticeable after even a week C they start turning somersaults D and will never be known E which is rather more than astronauts really need F and is vital on very long flights G could become reality in the early decades of the next century H can only be done if astronauts put on their heavy spacesuits I but they not seriously threaten the health of astronauts Your answers 61 62 63 64 65 66 Part 4: Read the following passage and answer questions 67 - 80 THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSEUMS A The conviction that historical relics provide infallible testimony about the past is rooted in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when science was regarded as objective and value free As one writer observes: ‘Although it is now evident that artefacts are as easily altered as chronicles, public faith in their veracity endures: a tangible relic seems ipso facto real.’ Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays Museums used to look — and some still — much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike Similarly, the information accompanying the objects often made little sense to the lay visitor The content and format of explanations dated back to a time when the museum was the exclusive domain of the scientific researcher B Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered The key word in heritage display is now 'experience', the more exciting the better and, if possible, involving all the senses Good examples of this approach in the UK are the Jorvik Centre in York; the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford; and the Imperial War Museum in London In the US the trend emerged much earlier Williamsburg Page of 13 pages has been a prototype for many heritage developments in other parts of the world No one can predict where the process will end On so-called heritage sites the re-enactment of historical events is increasingly popular, and computers will soon provide virtual reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment Such developments have been criticised as an intolerable vulgarization, but the success of many historical theme parks and similar locations suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion C In a related development, the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites on the one hand, and theme parks on the other, is gradually evaporating They already borrow ideas and concepts from one another For example, museums have adopted story lines for exhibitions, sites have accepted 'theming’ as a relevant tool, and theme parks are moving towards more authenticity and research-based presentations In zoos, animals are no longer kept in cages, but in great spaces, either in the open air or in enormous greenhouses, such as the jungle and desert environments in Burgers' Zoo in Holland This particular trend is regarded as one of the major developments in the presentation of natural history in the twentieth century D Theme parks are undergoing other changes, too, as they try to present more serious social and cultural issues, and move away from fantasy This development is a response to market forces and, although museums and heritage sites have a special, rather distinct, role to fulfill, they are also operating in a very competitive environment, where visitors make choices on how and where to spend their free time Heritage and museum experts not have to invent stories and recreate historical environments to attract their visitors: their assets are already in place However, exhibits must be both based on artefacts and facts as we know them, and attractively presented Those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history are thus in a difficult position, as they must steer a narrow course between the demands of 'evidence' and 'attractiveness' especially given the increasing need in the heritage industry for income-generating activities E It could be claimed that in order to make everything in heritage more 'real', historical accuracy must be increasingly altered For example, Pithecanthropus erectus is depicted in an Indonesian museum with Malay facial features, because this corresponds to public perceptions Similarly, in the Museum of Natural History in Washington, Neanderthal man is shown making a dominant gesture to his wife Such presentations tell us more about contemporary perceptions of the world than about our ancestors There is one compensation, however, for the professionals who make these interpretations: If they did not provide the interpretation, visitors would it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices And no matter how exciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias than the presentations provided by experts F Human bias is inevitable, but another source of bias in the representation of history has to with the transitory nature of the materials themselves The simple fact is that not everything from history survives the historical process Castles, palaces and cathedrals have a longer lifespan than the dwellings of ordinary people The same applies to the furnishings and other contents of the premises In a town like Leyden in Holland, which in the seventeenth century was occupied by approximately the same number of inhabitants as today, people lived within the walled town, an area more than five times smaller than modern Leyden In most of the houses several families lived together in circumstances beyond our imagination Yet in museums, fine period rooms give only an image of the lifestyle of the upper class of that era No wonder that people who stroll around exhibitions are filled with nostalgia; the evidence in museums indicates that life was so much better in the past This notion is induced by the bias in its representation in museums and heritage centers Page of 13 pages For questions 67 - 70, choose the correct headings for paragraphs B - E from the list

passage NOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage 77 78 79 80 Consumers prefer theme parks which avoid serious issues More people visit museums than theme parks The boundaries of Leyden have changed little since the seventeenth century Museums can give a false impression of how life used to be Your answers 77 78 79 80 Part 5: Read the following passage and answer questions 81 - 90 Forests are one of the main elements of our natural heritage The decline of Europe's forests over the last decade and a half has led to an increasing awareness and understanding of the serious imbalances which threaten them European countries are becoming increasingly concerned by major threats to European forests, threats with know no frontier other than those of geography and climate: air pollution, soil deterioration, the increasing number of forest fires and sometimes even the mismanagement of our woodland and forest heritage There has been a growing awareness of the need for countries to get together to co-ordinate their policies In December 1990, Strasbourg hosted the first Ministerial Conference on the protection of Europe's forests The conference brought together 31 countries from both Western and Eastern Europe The topics discussed included the co-ordinated study of the destruction of forests, as well as how to combat forest fires and the extension of European research programs on the forest ecosystem The preparatory work for the conference had been undertaken at two meetings of experts Their initial task was to decide which of the many forest problems of concern to Europe involved the largest number of countries and might be the subject of joint action Those confined to particular geographical areas, such as countries bordering the Mediterranean or the Nordic countries therefore had to be discarded However, this does not mean that in future they will be ignored As a whole, European countries see forests as performing a triple function: biological, economic and recreational The first is to act as a 'green lung' for our planet; by means of photosynthesis, forests produce oxygen through the transformation of solar energy, thus fulfilling what for humans is the essential role of an immense, non-polluting power plant At the same time, forests provide raw materials for human activities through their constantly renewed production of wood Finally, they offer those condemned to spend five days a week in an urban environment an unrivalled area of freedom to unwind and take part in a range of leisure activities, such as hunting, riding and hiking The economic importance of forests has been understood since the dawn of man - wood was the first fuel The other aspects have been recognised only for a few centuries but they are becoming more and more important Hence, there is a real concern throughout Europe about the damage to the forest environment which threatens these three basic roles Page of 13 pages The myth of the 'natural' forest has survived, yet there are effectively no remaining 'primary' forests in Europe All European forests are artificial, having been adapted and exploited by man for thousands of years This means that a forest policy is vital, that it must transcend national frontiers and generations of people, and that it must allow for the inevitable changes that take place in the forests, in needs, and hence in policy The Strasbourg conference was one of the first events on such a scale to reach this conclusion A general declaration was made that 'a central place in any ecologically coherent forest policy must be given to continuity over time and to the possible effects of unforeseen events, to ensure that the full potential of these forests is maintained' That general declaration was accompanied by six detailed resolutions to assist national policy-making The first proposes the extension and systematisation of surveillance sites to monitor forest decline Forest decline is still poorly understood but leads to the loss of a high proportion of a tree's needles or leaves The entire continent and the majority of species are now affected: between 30% and 50% of the tree population The condition appears to result from the cumulative effect of a number of factors, with atmospheric pollutants the principal culprits Compounds of nitrogen and sulphur dioxide should be particularly closely watched However, their effects are probably accentuated by climatic factors, such as drought and hard winters, or soil imbalances such as soil acidification, which damages the roots The second resolution concentrates on the need to preserve the genetic diversity of European forests The aim is to reverse the decline in the number of tree species or at least to preserve the 'genetic material' of all of them Although forest fires not affect all of Europe to the same extent, the amount of damage caused the experts to propose as the third resolution that the Strasbourg conference consider the establishment of a European databank on the subject All information used in the development of national preventative policies would become generally available The subject of the fourth resolution discussed by the ministers was mountain forests In Europe, it is undoubtedly the mountain ecosystem which has changed most rapidly and is most at risk A thinly scattered permanent population and development of leisure activities, particularly skiing, have resulted in significant long-term changes to the local ecosystems Proposed developments include a preferential research program on mountain forests The fifth resolution relaunched the European research network on the physiology of trees, called Eurosilva Eurosilva should support joint European research on tree diseases and their physiological and biochemical aspects Each country concerned could increase the number of scholarships and other financial support or doctoral theses and research projects in this area Finally, the conference established the framework for a European research network on forest ecosystems This would also involve harmonising activities in individual countries as well as identifying a number of priority research topics relating to the protection of forests The Strasbourg conference's main concern was to provide for the future This was the initial motivation, one now shared by all 31 participants representing 31 European countries Their final text commits them to on-going discussion between government representatives with responsibility for forests For questions 81 - 83, write in the corresponding numbered boxes TRUE if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage FALSE if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage NOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage 81 Forest problems of Mediterranean countries are to be discussed at the next meeting of experts 82 The biological functions of forests were recognised only in the twentieth century 83 The Strasbourg conference decided that a forest policy must allow for the possibility of change Page of 13 pages Your answers 81 82 83 For questions 84 - 89, look at the following statements issued by the conference Which of the following statements, A - J, refer to the resolutions that were issued? Match the statements with the appropriate resolutions Write the correct letter (A - J) in the corresponding numbered boxes There are FOUR extra statements which you not need to use All kinds of species of trees should be preserved Fragile mountain forests should be given priority in research programs The surviving natural forests of Europe not need priority treatment Research is to be better co-ordinated throughout Europe Information on forest fires should be collected and shared Loss of leaves from trees should be more extensively and carefully monitored Resources should be allocated to research into tree diseases Skiing should be encouraged in thinly populated areas Soil imbalances such as acidification should be treated with compounds nitrogen and sulphur Information is to be systematically gathered on any decline in the condition of forests A B C D E F G H I J 84 Resolution 87 Resolution 85 Resolution 88 Resolution 86 Resolution 89 Resolution Your answers 84 85 86 87 88 89 For question 90, choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D) to the question Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) in box 90 90 What is the best title for the reading passage?
