to 35 THE HISTORY OF NEWSPAPERS Newspapers can be traced back to 16th century Venice In 1566, handwritten news sheets - called 'avisi' or ‘gazette' - filled with information on wars and politics in Europe were distributed weekly in Venice Similar news sheets soon started to appear in other European countries By 1615, Germany and Austria were publishing weeklies And in 1621, the first news sheet appeared in England At first, these news sheets only printed news which came from outside the country in which they were printed Discussion of local or national issues was avoided Europe’s governments did not tolerate anything negative being said about them as it could lead to national unrest Such censorship slowed the development of nevwpapers Nevertheless, a belief in the importance of a 'free press’ slowly began to take hold in Europe England was among the first countries to escape government control of the press This occuơed during the reign of King Charles I in the 17th century, when, during a period of breakdown in the king's authority, people began to publish what they wanted Eventually, frie press had the right to criticise government and voice other ideas freely In the middle of the 18 th century, Sweden became the first country to make press freedom a part of its law In the 19th century, the newspaper industry was transformed by the invention of the telegraph The telegraph was a communication system that allowed messages to be sent over long distances in a matter of minutes It wasn’t long before newspapers became society's primary means of spreading and receiving information In 1880, the first photographs appeared in newspapers and, by the end of the century, all the basic technical tools for the modem newspaper were in place The story of newspapers in the 20th century was one of adaptation to changing consumer and media markets The invention of radio, TV, and later the Internet, repeatedly drove newspapers to re-invent themselves Also, during the 20 th century, massmarket advertising increased profitability for newspapers This attracted large, publicly-owned corporations who began buying newspapers from the descendants of cornpany founders Over the years, people have periodically predicted the extinction of newspapers In fact, every time a new media has come into being, dire predictions have been made for existing forms (e.g television was supposed to have replaced radio, radio was supposed to have replaced newspapers) Yet history has repeatedly shown that new media not replace existing media Instead, what happens is that media consumption grows, which creates the necessary space for the new media to become a part of the media landscape According to the World Association of Newspapers (WAN), each day more than 1.5 billion people around the world read a newspaper The WAN has also estimated the total annual worth of the global newspaper industry and put it at just under 180 billion USD Such statistics suggest the newspaper industry is healthier than at any other time in its history Indeed, if the industry proves itself as capable of adapting to change as it has done in the past, it is unlikely that newspapers will be disappearing from newsstands anytime soon Question 30: In the 19th century, A the newspaper industry invented the telegraph B the role of newspapers became more important C inform ation in

checked by authorities B were distributed internationally C avoided all controversial topics D discussed foreign issues Question 35: In paragraph 3, we learn that A criticising governments was the

the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 48 AGE AND CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY In countries around the wodd a child must be above a certain age belore tfiey can be charged with a criminal oflence This 'age of criminal responsibility', varies considerably For example, in England, children are considered responsible for all illegal acts once they reach the age of 10 In Belgium, individuals are 18 before they reach the age of criminal responsibility In the USA, it is up to a judge to decide whether or not a child can be held responsible for a crime How is an 'age of criminal responsibility' decided? Well, roughly speaking, it is taken to be the age when a child knows the difference between right and wrong Every country agrees that children are not capable of understanding the difference between right and wrong below a certain age But they strongly disagree on what this age is Pinpointing the age at which children have learnt the difference between right and wrong is difficult For example, how old are children when they understand that somettiing is seriously wrong as opposed to simply naughty? Moreover, how old are children when they are able to understand the consequences of their actions? This is important because the law states that a person must understand the possible consequences of an action in order to be held responsible for it In countries like England where the age of criminal responsibility is low, many people argue that it should be raised They point out that it does not make sense to say that a child is mature enough to be put into an adult prison at the age of 10, but is not mature enough to drive, marry or vote for another years By contrast, people who want the age of criminal responsibifity to stay low say that raising the age would lead to higher levels of crime They also argue that a low age of criminal responsibility makes children realise that committing a crime is a serious offence Historically, one of the main reasons for introducing an age of criminal responsibility was that severe penalties were handed out for even the smallest of crimes In medieval England, for instance, a person could be hanged for stealing a sheep As children were also treated in the same harsh way as adults when they broke the law, it was thought necessary to protect them from inappropriate punishments Today, even in courrtries with a low age of criminal responsibility, it is rare for a child to be tried in an adult court What is more, a child found guilty of a crime will rarely be sent to an adult prison Most countries have realised that if a child goes to an adult prison and mixes with adult criminals, not only will he be physically unsafe, but he will likely leave prison with an increased criminal knowledge And the aim of most countries is to try to turn a child away from a life of crime Question 41: People who support a low age of criminal responsibility so because A the law isn’t taken seriously by children B children are responsible at a young age C crime might increase if it is raised D children think comm itting a crime is funny Question 42: Today, most child criminals A develop their criminal behaviour from adults B can expect authorities to attempt to rehabilitate them C can expect to be tried as adults in courts D are typically not found guilty Question 43: In paragraph 2, what we learn about the age of criminal responsibility? A It is meant to be the age when children know if what they is right or wrong B It causes a lot of fighting between countries C It should be the same in every country D It lets children know there is a difference between right and wrong Question 44: In countries where the age of criminal responsibility is low, A most people want it to be higher B adult prisons are full of children C children mature faster D many people are happy it is low Question 45: In medieval England, A children faced the same punishments as adults B serious crimes were rare C stealing animals was a common crime, D child crime was a very big problem Question 46: Setting an age for criminal responsibility is hard because A the law is very complicated B children are naturally naughty C children cannot predict their actions D difficult questions must be answered Question 47: The phrasal verb “handed out” is closest in meaning to A jailed B tied up C distributed D imprisoned Question 48: In paragraph 1, we learn that A children are not prosecuted in the USA B child crime is worse in England than in Belgium C children cannot be charged w ith a crime D a 10-year-old criminal will face different treatment in the UK than in Belgium Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best completes each of the following exchanges Question 49: ~ A: “ ” ~ B: “Yes, we all felt he’d let us down rather badly.” A Didn’t you feel annoyed with his lateness?

This is important because the law states that a person must understand the possible consequences of an action in order to be held responsible for it In countries like England where the age of criminal responsibility is low, many people argue that it should be raised They point out that it does not make sense to say that a child is mature enough to be put into an adult prison at the age of 10, but is not mature enough to drive, marry or vote for another years By contrast, people who want the age of criminal responsibifity to stay low say that raising the age would lead to higher levels of crime They also argue that a low age of criminal responsibility makes children realise that committing a crime is a serious offence Historically, one of the main reasons for introducing an age of criminal responsibility was that severe penalties were handed out for even the smallest of crimes In medieval England, for instance, a person could be hanged for stealing a sheep As children were also treated in the same harsh way as adults when they broke the law, it was thought necessary to protect them from inappropriate punishments Today, even in courrtries with a low age of criminal responsibility, it is rare for a child to be tried in an adult court What is more, a child found guilty of a crime will rarely be sent to an adult prison Most countries have realised that if a child goes to an adult prison and mixes with adult criminals, not only will he be physically unsafe, but he will likely leave prison with an increased criminal knowledge And the aim of most countries is to try to turn a child away from a life of crime Question 5: Setting an age for criminal responsibility is hard because A difficult questions must be answered B children cannot predict their actions C the law is very complicated D children are naturally naughty Question 6: The phrasal verb “handed out” is closest in meaning to A imprisoned B distributed C jailed D tied up Question 7: Today, most child criminals A develop their criminal behaviour from adults B can expect authorities to attempt to rehabilitate them C can expect to be tried as adults in courts D are typically not found guilty Question 8: In countries where the age of criminal responsibility is low, A many people are happy it is low B adult prisons are full of children C most people want it to be higher D children mature faster Question 9: In paragraph 1, we learn that A a 10-year-old criminal will face different treatment in the UK than in Belgium B child crime is worse in England than in Belgium C children cannot be charged w ith a crime D children are not prosecuted in the USA Question 10: In paragraph 2, what we learn about the age of criminal responsibility? A It is meant to be the age when children know if what they is right or wrong B It lets children know there is a difference between right and wrong C It should be the same in every country D It causes a lot of fighting between countries Question 11: People who support a low age of criminal responsibility so because A crime might increase if it is raised B the law isn’t taken seriously by children C children think comm itting a crime is funny D children are responsible at a young age Question 12: In medieval England, A serious crimes were rare B children faced the same punishments as adults C stealing animals was a common crime, D child crime was a very big problem Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 13 to 18 THE HISTORY OF NEWSPAPERS Newspapers can be traced back to 16th century Venice In 1566, handwritten news sheets - called 'avisi' or ‘gazette' - filled with information on wars and politics in Europe were distributed weekly in Venice Similar news sheets soon started to appear in other European countries By 1615, Germany and Austria were publishing weeklies And in 1621, the first news sheet appeared in England At first, these news sheets only printed news which came from outside the country in which they were printed Discussion of local or national issues was avoided Europe’s governments did not tolerate anything negative being said about them as it could lead to national unrest Such censorship slowed the development of nevwpapers Nevertheless, a belief in the importance of a 'free press’ slowly began to take hold in Europe England was among the first countries to escape government control of the press This occuơed during the reign of King Charles I in the 17th century, when, during a period of breakdown in the king's authority, people began to publish what they wanted Eventually, frie press had the right to criticise government and voice other ideas freely In the middle of the 18 th century, Sweden became the first country to make press freedom a part of its law In the 19th century, the newspaper industry was transformed by the invention of the telegraph The telegraph was a communication system that allowed messages to be sent over long distances in a matter of minutes It wasn’t long before newspapers became society's primary means of spreading and receiving information In 1880, the first photographs appeared in newspapers and, by the end of the century, all the basic technical tools for the modem newspaper were in place The story of newspapers in the 20th century was one of adaptation to changing consumer and media markets The invention of radio, TV, and later the Internet, repeatedly drove newspapers to re-invent themselves Also, during the 20 th century, massmarket advertising increased profitability for newspapers This attracted large, publicly-owned corporations who began buying newspapers from the descendants of cornpany founders Over the years, people have periodically predicted the extinction of newspapers In fact, every time a new media has come into being, dire predictions have been made for existing forms (e.g television was supposed to have replaced radio, radio was supposed to have replaced newspapers) Yet history has repeatedly shown that new media not replace existing media Instead, what happens is that media consumption grows, which creates the necessary space for the new media to become a part of the media landscape According to the World Association of Newspapers (WAN), each day more than 1.5 billion people around the world read a newspaper The WAN has also estimated the total annual worth of the global newspaper industry and put it at just under 180 billion USD Such statistics suggest the newspaper industry is healthier than at any other time in its history Indeed, if the industry proves itself as capable of adapting to change as it has done in the past, it is

Well, roughly speaking, it is taken to be the age when a child knows the difference between right and wrong Every country agrees that children are not capable of understanding the difference between right and wrong below a certain age But they strongly disagree on what this age is Pinpointing the age at which children have learnt the difference between right and wrong is difficult For example, how old are children when they understand that somettiing is seriously wrong as opposed to simply naughty? Moreover, how old are children when they are able to understand the consequences of their actions? This is important because the law states that a person must understand the possible consequences of an action in order to be held responsible for it In countries like England where the age of criminal responsibility is low, many people argue that it should be raised They point out that it does not make sense to say that a child is mature enough to be put into an adult prison at the age of 10, but is not mature enough to drive, marry or vote for another years By contrast, people who want the age of criminal responsibifity to stay low say that raising the age would lead to higher levels of crime They also argue that a low age of criminal responsibility makes children realise that committing a crime is a serious offence Historically, one of the main reasons for introducing an age of criminal responsibility was that severe penalties were handed out for even the smallest of crimes In medieval England, for instance, a person could be hanged for stealing a sheep As children were also treated in the same harsh way as adults when they broke the law, it was thought necessary to protect them from inappropriate punishments Today, even in courrtries with a low age of criminal responsibility, it is rare for a child to be tried in an adult court What is more, a child found guilty of a crime will rarely be sent to an adult prison Most countries have realised that if a child goes to an adult prison and mixes with adult criminals, not only will he be physically unsafe, but he will likely leave prison with an increased criminal knowledge And the aim of most countries is to try to turn a child away from a life of crime Question 32: In paragraph 1, we learn that A children are not prosecuted in the USA B children cannot be charged w ith a crime C a 10-year-old criminal will face different treatment in the UK than in Belgium D child crime is worse in England than in Belgium Question 33: Setting an age for criminal responsibility is hard because A children cannot predict their actions B the law is very complicated C children are naturally naughty D difficult questions must be answered Question 34: The phrasal verb “handed out” is closest in meaning to A jailed B tied up C imprisoned D distributed Question 35: Today, most child criminals A develop their criminal behaviour from adults B can expect to be tried as adults in courts C can expect authorities to attempt to rehabilitate them D are typically not found guilty Question 36: In countries where the age of criminal responsibility is low, A many people are happy it is low B children mature faster C most people want it to be higher D adult prisons are full of children Question 37: In medieval England, A serious crimes were rare B children faced the same punishments as adults C child crime was a very big problem D stealing animals was a common crime, Question 38: In paragraph 2, what we learn about the age of criminal responsibility? A It should be the same in every country B It causes a lot of fighting between countries C It is meant to be the age when children know if what they is right or wrong D It lets children know there is a difference between right and wrong Question 39: People who support a low age of criminal responsibility so because A children are responsible at a young age B crime might increase if it is raised C children think comm itting a crime is funny D the law isn’t taken seriously by children Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 40 to 45 THE HISTORY OF NEWSPAPERS Newspapers can be traced back to 16th century Venice In 1566, handwritten news sheets - called 'avisi' or ‘gazette' - filled with information on wars and politics in Europe were distributed weekly in Venice Similar news sheets soon started to appear in other European countries By 1615, Germany and Austria were publishing weeklies And in 1621, the first news sheet appeared in England At first, these news sheets only printed news which came from outside the country in which they were printed Discussion of local or national issues was avoided Europe’s governments did not tolerate anything negative being said about them as it could lead to national unrest Such censorship slowed the development of nevwpapers Nevertheless, a belief in the importance of a 'free press’ slowly began to take hold in Europe England was among the first countries to escape government control of the press This occuơed during the reign of King Charles I in the 17th century, when, during a period of breakdown in the king's authority, people began to publish what they wanted Eventually, frie press had the right to criticise government and voice other ideas freely In the middle of the 18 th century, Sweden became the first country to make press freedom a part of its law In the 19th century, the newspaper industry was transformed by the invention of the telegraph The telegraph was a communication system that allowed messages to be sent over long distances in a matter of minutes It wasn’t long before newspapers became society's primary means of spreading and receiving information In 1880, the first photographs appeared in newspapers and, by the end of the century, all the basic technical tools for the modem newspaper were in place The story of newspapers in the 20th century was one of adaptation to changing consumer and media markets The invention of radio, TV, and later the Internet, repeatedly drove newspapers to re-invent themselves Also, during the 20 th century, massmarket advertising increased profitability for newspapers This attracted large, publicly-owned corporations who began buying newspapers from the descendants of cornpany founders Over the years, people have periodically predicted the extinction of newspapers In fact, every time a new media has come into being, dire predictions have been made for existing forms (e.g television was supposed to have replaced radio, radio was supposed to have replaced newspapers) Yet history has repeatedly shown that new media not replace existing media Instead, what happens is that media consumption grows, which creates the necessary space for the new media to become a part of the media landscape According to the World Association of Newspapers (WAN), each day more than 1.5 billion people around the world read a newspaper The WAN has also estimated the total annual worth of the global newspaper industry and put it at just under 180 billion USD Such statistics suggest the newspaper industry is healthier than at any other time in its history Indeed, if the industry proves itself as capable of adapting to change as it has done in the past, it is unlikely that newspapers will be disappearing from newsstands anytime soon Question 40: In the 19th century, A inform ation in newspapers became more technical B
