your answers in the numbered table below During the 1980s, few tourists used to go to the Arctic in summer People came in large numbers to Jukkasjärvi to see the Arctic Hall The artist encouraged people to sleep in the Arctic Hall Each winter, guests come and sleep in the hotel before it is finished Progress when building the hotel is influenced by the weather The temperature inside the hotel changes according to the temperature outside Some clothes are provided by the hotel Guests should buy boots which fit as tightly as possible Items ordered through the ICEHOTEL shop will be delivered to your home 10 It is possible to take a train from the airport to the IceHotel THE ICEHOTEL For many years the Arctic was a popular destination in the summer season to see the land of the midnight sun but in winter the few inhabitants had the snow and ice to themselves By the end of the 1980s it was decided that the dark and cold winter should be seen as an advantage In the winter of 1990 the French artist Jannot Derit was invited to have the opening of an exhibition in a specially built igloo (a building made of snow) in the little town of Jukkasjärvi on the frozen Torne River The building, named Arctic Hall, attracted many interested visitors to the area One night a group of foreign guests decided it would be a good idea to sleep in the Arctic Hall The following morning the brave group were very pleased with their experience and the idea of an ice hotel was born Today it is world famous As soon as winter begins, a team of snow builders, architects and artists from all over the world come to Jukkasjärvi and they make the hotel for that year As one part is completed, it opens to visitors and overnight guests, while the other parts are still being built The first part is completed in December and each week after that a new part opens, until January 7th when the hotel is completed As the ICEHOTEL is built under the open sky, using the natural materials of the winter season, the finishing date depends on nature and therefore there are sometimes changes to the plan In the spring, as the weather gets warmer, the hotel melts Inside the hotel, the temperature is never colder than –5 °C to –8 °C, however cold it may be outside Winter outer clothes such as warm overalls, hats and gloves are included in the cost of guests’ stay at the hotel In addition to this, it is a good idea for guests to bring sweaters and a scarf as well as plenty of woolen socks and to choose footwear that is larger than normal to allow space for thick socks If you are planning to come to the hotel, you can buy warm sweaters, woolen socks and much more on the ICEHOTEL website You can order these and the equipment you will need at the same time as you book your visit The items will be delivered to your room when you check in The hotel is in the village of Jukkasjärvi, 200 km above the Arctic Circle but only 15 km from Kiruna airport and 17 km from Kiruna train station Transport by bus can be arranged from the airport or train station to the IceHotel Write your answers here 10 PART 3: Read the following passage and the tasks below Write your answers in the numbered table The Atmosphere of Venus Venus, also called the Morning Star and Evening Star, is the second-closest planet to the sun and the brightest object in the night sky The planet orbits the sun every two hundred and twenty four Earth-days and is sometimes referred to as Earth’s sister planet because the two share both a similar size and bulk What is not similar, however, is Venus’s atmosphere in comparison to Earth’s atmosphere The atmosphere on Venus is much heavier and has a higher density than that of Earth Venus’s atmosphere also expands significantly higher than Earth’s atmosphere although a thick cloud cover makes the surface of Venus nearly impossible to see unless observed through radar mapping While the pressure and temperature of Venus’s upper atmosphere are comparable to those of Earth, the heat and pressure of the lower atmosphere are not unlike a furnace Venus’s atmosphere is very thick due to a composition consisting mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen If man could survive the extreme heat of Venus’s surface (400 degrees Celsius), then he would have to contend with a surface pressure that is more than 90 times that of Earth Venus’s extremely high temperature is thanks to the greenhouse effect caused by such a large amount of carbon dioxide The greenhouse effect is a process by which the sun’s infrared radiation is more readily absorbed by the atmosphere Just like in a real greenhouse used to grow plants years round, the proliferation of carbon dioxide traps radiation and warms Venus’s atmosphere Due to this phenomenon, Venus boasts a higher atmospheric temperature than Mercury, even though Venus is twice the distance from the sun However, scientists postulate that Venus’s atmosphere was not always so hot [A] Studies show that large bodies of water were once on Venus’s surface but that eventually evaporation of all the water caused the runaway greenhouse effect which regulates the planet today [B] Thus Venus has become a critical study for today’s scientists, as human being are only beginning to struggle with the early stages of the greenhouse effect [C] Our problems not stem from evaporated water supplies but from a propagation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases due to industrial and automobile emissions [D] Another interesting characteristic to note regarding Venus’s atmosphere is that its daytime temperatures and nighttime temperatures are not that far removed from each other This is due to the thermal inertia, the ability of a substance to store heat despite changing temperatures and the transfer of heat by Venus’s strong winds Although winds on the surface of Venus move slowly in comparison with Earth’s winds, Venus’s air is so dense that a slowmoving there can move large obstructions and even skip stones along the planet’s surface In 1966, humankind made its first attempt at sending a recording instrument into Venus’s atmosphere The Venera probe did collide with Venus surface; however, the abrupt impact caused its communication system to fail, and it was unable to send and feedback In 1967, Venera successfully enter Venus’s atmosphere and was able to take many readings, one of which recorded that Venus’s atmosphere was between ninety and ninety-five percent carbon dioxide Subsequent Venera probes were sent into Venus’s atmosphere, but most of them succumbed to the crushing air pressure Questions 1-7: Choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the passage According to paragraph 1, Venus is named the Morning Star and Evening

atmosphere D density Which of the following best expresses the essential information in the bold sentence in paragraph 3? Incorrect answer choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information A Earth experiences greater surface pressure than Venus B If a man could survive its surface pressure C The surface pressure and heat of Venus are much greater than those on Earth D Venus’s surface temperature and pressure make it uninhabitable by humans According to paragraph 3, the greenhouse effect on Venus is owed to A the small amounts of nitrogen B the rapid increasing amounts of carbon dioxide C growing plants D the high atmospheric temperatures In paragraph 4, the author of the passage implies that Earth A might suffer the same greenhouse effect as Venus B once had an atmosphere similar to Venus’s C has bodies of water similar to those on Venus today D is experiencing a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions Look at the four blanks […] in paragraph that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage Although the causes are different, the ramifications are the same Where would the sentence best fit?

B Lawyer I ran a triathlon and managed to get over 50 people to sponsor me I had to train for months and it was really hard work but well worth it I actually enjoyed the training more than the final event because on the day the weather was terrible In the months running up to the event I followed a very strict regime and it felt good to be working towards such a specific goal I would often get up at o’clock in the morning so I could train before going to work Knowing that I was going to be able to give a large donation to charity made me even more determined to it It wasn’t compulsory to get sponsorship and giving money to charity wasn’t my main motivation when I first signed up to it but I wanted to make the most of the opportunity and all my friends and family were really supportive and wanted to help and give money It was such a positive experience I’m going to it again next year C Environmental consultant I cycled from L.A to Quito last spring All my family thought I was mad but I love cycling and I knew it would be an amazing way to see lots of really interesting places that most people never see I managed to raise quite a bit of money for charity through sponsorship although that wasn't my main objective I turned 30 in March and I really wanted to be doing something totally different rather than just sitting at my desk in the office I wanted it to be different and something I could look back on when I am older and feel proud of It is something I’ll be able to tell my grandchildren about and the fact that I was able to something to help those less well off than me at the same time, well that made it even better D Theatre manager When I was a child I took part in a lot of sponsored walks Each year my school would organise the walks and although it wasn’t compulsory my friends and I would always take part It was fun Each walk was about 15 km long so it took quite a long time but it was a nice way to spend a day The first year I did it I was only 11 years old and my father came with us to keep an eye on us but once we were older we went by ourselves; there were about or of us that all walked together We managed to get quite a bit of money between us; in fact it became our challenge to raise more money than the year before, which we always achieved, so there was a great sense of satisfaction E Retired primary school head teacher We used to make a big effort to get the children involved in charity events as I think it helps raise their awareness of world events and the fact that in many places there are people, particularly children like themselves, who live in very different circumstances to them I think they get a great sense of satisfaction too from knowing that they are able to something to help Each year we had a mufti day; where all the children paid a small amount of money and then came to school for one day in their own clothes and not in school uniform We also regularly held school fetes where the children were encouraged to donate old toys and books and things which we then sold The children got involved in running the stalls too and all the money we made went to our chosen charity SECTION D: WRITING I Complete the second sentence in such a way that it is closest in meaning to the first sentence Use the word given in bold Do not change the word given I think it's time the children went to bed now HAD I think the children …………………………………………………………………… to bed now Would you please keep your mobile phone switched off during the flight?
