Question 21→25 Give the correct form of the words given A Musical Genius For many people Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) is the most influential figure in the history of western classical music His extraordinary talent was already clearly evident as a young man, (21 MERCY) _ surviving a somewhat unconventional upbringing during which his eccentric father would often force him to take music lessons in the middle of the night The young Beethoven's ability won him the admiration of the leading contemporary musical figures Throughout the 1790s he worked hard to secure the interest of wealthy patrons Such patronage enabled him to concentrate on becoming a successful composer Whatever his awe-inspiring musical achievements, however, his personal life was something of a disaster His day-to-day (22 RELATE) _ with people invariably turned out to be rather turbulent Although he apparently fell in love with a number of society women, the identity of the girl who lay closest to his heart remains (23 ELUDE) to this day However, just at the point when Beethoven was beginning to reap the rewards of his early endeavours, he had to come to terms with the crushing realization that his increasing deafness was (24 CURE) From that point on, his music displayed a (25 STRIKE) _change in style, becoming both heavier in tone and larger in scale Question 26→35 Choose the appropriate words to complete the following passage WHALES How far would you travel for a good meal? If you were a humpback whale, the answer would be five thousand miles These large sea animals travel at least that far from their winter home off the coast of Columbia to their summer (26) areas off Antarctica The distance covered by some types of whale is amazing, especially when you (27) their enormous size The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever (28) and it can weigh as much as thirty elephants It (29) as no surprise, therefore, to hear that ancient folk legends tell of sailors (30) these creatures for islands The more we (31) about whales, the more wonderful they seem Some species can (32) their breath for more than an hour and dive to a (33) of over 200 metres They use a system of sounds (34) as echo-location to find the fish they eat and they have further sounds to keep in (35) with each other The noises they produce can travel hundred of miles under water Some species seem to sing complicated songs which consist of a number of separate themes, sung in a specific order which can last up to half an hour or more If you ever get the chance to see one of these great creatures in the wild, you will understand why they have inspired so many legends 26 A feeding B dining C eating 27 A view B think C consider 28 A been B stayed C born 29 A gets B comes C goes 30 A supposing B mixing C confusing 31 A find out B look out C show up 32 A store B keep C hold 33 A depth B length C width 34 A called B known C referred 35 A reach B touch C call Question 36 →40 Fill in each blank with one suitable word D chewing D believe D lived D seems D mistaking D turn up D save D breadth D named D range Stress is often called a 21st century illness but it has always been with us if perhaps (36) ……… different names These days we regard stress as a necessary evil of modern living Yet stress is not negative and without it we would not enjoy some of the highpoints in life such as the anticipation before a date or the tension leading (37) …… to an important match All these situations produce stress but if you can control it and not the other way (38) …… you will feel stimulated, not worn out Unlike these situations, which are generally positive and easier to deal with, sitting in a train which is late, being stuck in a traffic jam, working to a tight deadline are much harder to manage and control Stress is now recognised as a medical problem and as a signficant factor in causing coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and a high cholesterol count Patients are often unwilling to admit to stress problems (39) …… they feel they are a form of social failure and it is important that symptoms are identified in order to avoid unnecessary suffering So what should we be looking out for as danger signals? Common signs of stress are increased tiredness, irritability and (40) ……… inability to cope with certain situations Part III Reading Question – 10 You are going to read a magazine article about various local campaigns A Homes For All Organisations that help the homeless are warning that people will face even greater hardship this winter unless urgent action is taken to offer shelter to those without a home This warning follows publication of figures showing an increase in the number of homeless people Susan Evans of the organisation 'Homes for All' said: "With a shortage of accommodation, more people than ever before - young and old - are having to sleep rough A cold winter is predicted this year which means that these people will have to put up with sub-zero temperatures Action must be taken urgently to offer these people shelter." A nationwide demonstration to raise awareness of the problem will take place this weekend Supporters welcome B Village Protest Residents of local village, Shilden, are preparing for a night of protest to save their village from Government planners Proposals for a new motorway to be built that will run within kilometres of Shilden have caused uproar amongst residents They claim that they were given insufficient time to respond to the proposal Tony Fellows, spokesperson for the 'Village Protest' campaign explains: "The planned route cuts across some of the most picturesque countryside in the region Shilden welcomes thousands of tourists each year Many of the shopkeepers depend on this trade and would almost certainly face ruin if tourists were put off coming by the damage this road is likely to cause" The all-night protest will take place in the fields where the building work is likely to begin C New Youth Club Youngsters in the city-centre will lose out on a much-loved project if substantial funds are not found this year The 'New Youth Club', which is open to young people from the ages of 10 to 17, is being threatened with closure by Health and Safety officials who claim the building is unsafe The club, built 30 years ago, was badly damaged by heavy storms last year and city engineers estimate that one hundred thousand pounds in needed to repair structural damage With only limited funds at their disposal, managers fear the club will have to close Youngsters from the club have organised an Open Day on Tuesday in an effort to raise some of the money needed to enable the repairs to be undertaken "This alone won't be enough, however" warned Adam Ross, Youth Leader D Save Lea Valley A rare species of butterfly and many native plants face extinction if the 'Lea Valley office complex' project goes ahead This is the claim made by local environmentalists involved in the 'Save Lea Valley' campaign They argue that the proposed development, to be built on the site of woodland dating back hundreds of years, will rob the country of several rare species of wildlife 'Local people would be horrified if they knew of the consequences of this project,' claimed environmentalist Ian Wilson yesterday "We need to instigate a local campaign to alert everyone to the dangers We are starting by writing letters to everyone in the area asking for their support The office complex developers must not be allowed to this."

Moon C The future and the spiritual D Development and Production challenges E From Sputnik to now F More satellites uses G Earth watching Space Travel 12 _ People have always dreamed of leaving planet Earth and exploring outer space Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, was launched in 1957 A human being went into space in 1961 Nowadays, aided by huge technological advancements, astronauts spend up to a year on orbiting space stations and robotic explorers have visited nearly all the planets in our solar system 13 _ The first challenge of space exploration was developing rockets powerful enough to escape Earth's gravity, with guidance systems reliable enough to reach their destinations The next was constructing lightweight, durable satellites and maintaining radio communication with them Exceptionally high standards of reliability in manufacturing and testing are necessary and a number of product innovations in daily use are a result of attempts to solve specific logistical problems connected with life in space 14 _ In addition to overcoming the challenges of no atmosphere, extremes of temperature and cosmic radiation, it was necessary to develop tools and techniques for space navigation, scientific observations and experiments and coping with incidental crises as they arose The Apollo program, which in 1969 sent astronauts to the Moon and back, was a huge achievement watched globally by millions on (pre satellite) T.V, although some have subsequently claimed that the whole spectacle was an elaborate hoax 15 _ Emphasis then shifted to maximizing efficiency and comfort during long-term stays on space stations and developing reusable spacecraft The latter resulted in the space shuttle fleet but encountered a major setback when the U.S spaceship Challenger exploded shortly after takeoff in 1986 16 _ A great advantage of putting satellites into space is the ability to look at Earth (Landsat1 went into polar orbit in 1972) Large-scale photos enable observation of land masses, oceans and weather patterns, remote regions can be mapped in detail and electromagnetic cameras return a wealth of useful data, for example infrared images which allow researchers to discriminate between healthy crops and diseased ones 17 _ Objects such as stars emit electromagnetic radiation, different wavelengths of which provide scientists with various types of information about the universe Infrared radiation reveals objects that are not hot enough to emit visible light, such as dust clouds X rays can indicate extremely high temperatures caused by violent collisions or other events Earth's atmosphere absorbs high-energy radiation in order for life to exist on the planet, but it also hides many celestial objects from ground-based telescopes Satellite data has enabled the first cosmic map and discovered further evidence for the 'Big Bang' theory of the origin of the universe The Hubble telescope, sent into orbit in 1990, provides astronomers with 10 spectacularly detailed images of space Satellites are used for political reasons too: the classified 'keyhole' system is reported to be able to read a car license plate from 100 miles in orbit, while military uses include detection of missiles and nuclear weapons and the development of the Global Positioning System, extensively used for navigation 18 The future of space exploration depends on many factors: technological evolution, political rivalries and partnerships between nations, and public attitudes to continuing costly space exploration Human spaceflight in Earth's orbit and unpiloted spaceflight within the solar system will continue Piloted spaceflight to other planets or any flight to other solar systems remains distant, but advances in space technology could take space exploration into the areas of contemporary science fiction Despite all this, the Apollo astronauts claimed that their personal greatest discovery from the Moon voyages was an increased spiritual awareness of planet Earth as a small but beautiful oasis of life in an essentially empty and impersonal universe Question 19→25 Choose the most suitable sentence from the list A-H for each part of the article There is one extra sentence which you not need to use Career success in the arts John Prince, famous dancer and choreographer, gives advice on how to succeed in a career in the arts I asked John how he got started and what requirements there are "Well, to be a professional dancer it's useful to have had acting lessons or some background in drama If you want to succeed in musical theatre you have to have a good singing voice as well When you approach an agent you should take a portfolio with your CV, your statistics sheet and some good photos and reviews of past performances You'll need dance clothes, ballet shoes, tap shoes, and even roller skates depending on what kind of show you are going to go for." (19) "Of course, you need to be extremely fit if you want to be a professional dancer I dance or move about for about six hours a day There are great health benefits to being a dancer I can eat a lot of pasta without gaining weight because dancing increases your metabolism so much." (20) John has a very busy schedule in 11 the next few months He took time out to speak to me today from the making of a pop video to promote N-ergy's latest record "I choreographed the dance routine for the boys and they only had days in which to learn it! I am going to be working on a video for another well known band - but that's top secret Next month I'll be touring Spain in a production of a musical that was written by a friend of mine, Michaela Evans (21) As for the future, I've come to realise that I would never be content to be just a chorus dancer - I'm too much of an individual for that Like all artists I'd love to become a household name by writing and choreographing my own musicals." John was born in Jamaica to a Jamaican father and a Scottish mother but the family emigrated to England 20 years ago "I have a little sister I adore, who is also training to be a dancer." How does it feel to have someone else following in your footsteps? (22) Has he much more to learn, I wondered "I've spent an incredible amount of my life training to get where I am I went to college for two years in England, I trained for six months in Paris and about eight months in America But you never really stop training or learning your art." (23) So, would you say it's been plain sailing? "I feel I've been lucky to a degree; many people hit problems breaking into the arts It can be a vicious circle really You can't become a member of Equity, which is the actors' and dancers' union, without good contracts and you can't get good contracts without being a member of Equity My advice to people who want to get into the arts would be to go out into the world, and try everything else first (24) What has a dance career done for you as a person? "Thanks to dancing, I've visited and performed in 23 countries so far This has opened my eyes to the world, and I've been able to understand issues like racism and inequality from a wider perspective (25) "So all in all I'm really happy to be a dancer!" A It's fine, but I try not to give out too much advice as it gets irritating! B And if nothing you like comes out of it, then come back and be an actor or dancer C Without a strict daily timetable like this you find yourself wasting too much time D After that it's back to England to start a new term of dance classes E Hopefully this has enabled me to become a better and more tolerant person as a result F When it comes to coping with stress, I find that exercise helps me to cope with my problems, so I stay in good shape mentally as well G Like any profession where you're always travelling, you tend to acquire something new 12 almost every day H Being fully equipped with all this stuff beforehand makes it easier when you go for auditions Part IV Writing Sentence transformation Question 1→ 10 Complete the following sentences so that the second sentence has a similar meaning to the first sentence Do not change the word given You must use between two and five words, including the words given On business trips, I prefer driving home to staying in a hotel overnight rather On business trips, I’d in a hotel overnight Jack found it difficult to control his skis on the steep slope under Jack found it difficult to _ on the steep slope My views on this subject are exactly the same as yours difference There my views on this subject and yours In my opinion, these two kinds of music are completely different from each other comparison In my opinion, there is _these two kinds of music I arrived late because I missed the 10.30 train turned If I’d caught the 10.30 train, I _time Question 6→ 10 Complete the following sentences so that the second sentence has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given Do not change the word given Nobody expected her to lose, but she did against _ Peter always trusts me with his secrets in Peter _ I thought it was marvellous that Jane could jump so high at I _ They didn’t punish Karen, only gave her a warning got Karen _ 13 10 Gary is proud of the fact that he is never late on Gary prides _ Question 11 – 25 Paragraph writing The emission of greenhouse gases is mostly blamed for causing climate change by most scientists What would happen to us if we keep on polluting?
