Would you take them to see any film without first finding whether it is suitable for them? If your answer of these questions is yes, then you are either extremely permissive, or just plain irresponsible If your answer is not, then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children from what you consider to be desirable influences In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship Children need protection and it is the parents' responsibility to provide it But what about adults? Aren't they old enough to decide that is good for them? The answer is that many adults are, but don't make the mistake of thinking that all adults are as yourself Censorship is for the good of society as a whole Highly civilized people might find it possible to live together without laws of any kind: they would just rely on good sense to solve their problems But imagine what chaotic there would be if we live in a society without laws!

A Famous examples B Different styles C Restoration D Production According to the passage, what was the first step in making a panel painting? A Mixing the paint B Preparing the panel C Buying the gold leaf D Making ink drawings The word "it" refers to A chalk B composition C artist D surface The word "deliberate" is closest in meaning to A decisive B careful C natural D unusual Which of the following processes produced the translucent colors found on panel paintings? A Joining wooden planks to form large sheets C Applying many layers of paint B Polishing the gesso D Covering the background with gold leaf What characteristic of tempera paint is mentioned in the passage? A It dries quickly B It is difficult to make C It dissolves easily D It has to be applied directly to wood The word "demanded" is closest in meaning to _ A ordered B reported C required D questioned The "collective enterprise" mentioned in line 18 includes all of the following EXCEPT _ A supplying the gold leaf B building the panels C applying the paint D selling then painting The word "imitate" is closest in meaning to _ A copy B illustrate C promote D believe in 10 The author mentions all of the following as problems with the survival of panel paintings EXCEPT _ A condition B theft C preservation D restoration Choose the most suitable heading for each section from the list of headings below Write the appropriate letter in the space provided after questions 1-5 in your booklet N.B: There are more headings than sections, so you will not use all of them List of Headings A Hands off the obesity B More active people C Reduced consumption D Supply and demand of fresh produce E Government worry about obesity F Class distinctions as to fatty food Answers: Section 1………… Section 2……… Section 3……………… Section 4………… Section 5……………… Fat of the Land Section The government worries that it should something to change the way people eat But diets already changing Given mankind’s need to fret, it is not surprising that the diseases of prosperity – stress, depression and, increasingly, obesity – get a lot of play in 10 Britain these days On March 3rd, John Reid, the health secretary, announced a three-month public consultation about the nation's health: in the current mood, that is likely to focus on obesity Last week, a report on public health commissioned by the government cited obesity among its main worries; last month, Tony Blair's strategy unit floated the idea of a 'fat tax' on foods that fuel obesity; and last year, the Food Standards Agency, the industry regulator, advocated a ban on advertising junk food to children Section Yet the government swiftly swatted away the idea of a fat tax, and Tessa Jowell, the culture secretary, has said that she is skeptical about an advertising ban Mr Reid says the government wants to be neither a 'nanny state' nor a 'Pontius Pilate state which washes its hands of its citizens' health' Why this ambivalence? Not because of doubts that obesity is a serious problem It increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer Rather, because it is not clear that the government can much about it There's no evidence that making fatty foods more expensive would put people off them; and in Sweden, where advertising to minors is already banned, children are as porky as they are in any comparable country Section What's more, it is not obvious that the problem will worsen Shoppers' behaviour suggests the opposite It is not just the flight from carbohydrates prompted by the Atkins diet; there is a broader shift going on Britain, the world's biggest chocolate-eater, seems to be going off the stuff In the four years to 2002, sales of chocolate in Britain fell every year: 2% by volume and 7% by value over the period Last month, the new boss of Nestle Rowntree, Chris White, described it as 'a business in crisis' (The company says his remarks were 'taken out of context' and denies there is a crisis, but admits that sales of KitKat, its biggest brand, fell by 2% in 2003.) 11 Companies are edging away from fattening foods Todd Stitzer, chief executive of Cadbury Schweppes, Britain's biggest producer of fattening stuff, says that five years ago, chocolate made up 80% of sales That's down to a half Five years ago 85% of drinks sales were sweet, fizzy stuff That's down to 56% The rest is mostly juice Diet drinks – which make up a third of the sales of fizzy drinks – are growing at 5% a year, while sales of the fattening stuff are static Section Supermarkets say that people are buying healthier food According to Lucy Neville-Rolfe, Tesco's director of corporate affairs, its Healthy Living (lower calorie) range grew by 12% in 2003, twice the growth in overall sales Sales of fruit and vegetables are growing faster than overall sales, too That may be partly because fresh produce y is getting more various, more is available all year round and better supply boosts demand Five years ago Tesco stocked six or seven varieties of tomato Now it stocks 15 The spread of big supermarkets, which offer better produce than the mouldy stuff at the corner shop, may improve diets A study carried out by the University of Southampton on a big new supermarket in a poor part of Leeds concluded that after it opened, two thirds of those with the worst diets ate more fruit and vegetables Cafes and restaurants report an increase in healthy eating, too Pret A Manger, a sandwich chain, says that sales of salads grew by 63% last year, compared with 6% overall sales growth McDonald's, which introduced fruit salad a year ago, has sold 10m portions since Section But it isn't just eating too much fatty stuff that makes people fat It's indolence, too That may be changing Gym membership figures suggest that more Britons at least intend to get off their sofas According to Mintel, a market research company, there were 3.8m members of private gyms last year, up from 2.2m in 1998 So why isn't all this virtue showing up in the figures? Maybe it is starting to The average man got thinner in 2002, the most recent available year, for the first 12 time since body-mass-index records began; women's BMI was static One year, of course, does not make a trend, but a fall in Americans' weight last year, also for the first time, supports the idea that something is changing in the rich world’s fattest countries Read the following text and choose from the list A - F the best phrase to fill each of the blanks Write your answers in the spaces below There is one extra phrase Card game rules Card playing has brought pleasure to millions of people for some six centuries and is popular the world over, so it is not surprising to discover that thousands of game have been invented There is a widespread belief that all card games have official rules but the situation is complex and this idea is best ignored Widely played games (1) …… in much the same way National and regional games may have official rules published by an organization devoted to the game, but these (2)………….in local and family play Of course, it is essential to establish a set of rules for club or tournament play, but these (3) ……….as the rules of the club, not the rules of the game In homes people play cards for enjoyment and will naturally introduce and drop rules to suit their tastes It is because tastes (4)…… and generation to generation that card games evolve Games that no longer evolve become extinct No book can more than (5) ………., or are said by other books to be played Nor should it expect to The only important thing is that everybody playing around the same table at the same time should be following the same rules A should be regarded B.have decided between alternative rules C tend to be played everywhere D vary from place to place E describe how games are played 13 F are happily ignored PART IV WRITING Rewrite the following sentences, keeping their meaning unchanged, beginning with the words given Alternative medicine is a complete mystery to some people Some people are .… You may be disqualified if you don't obey the regulations Failure ………………………………… Her remarks on the teacher’s bad behavior were ignored Nobody………………………………………………………………… 4.I only recognized him when he came into the light It was not until They declared war on the pretext of defending their territorial rights The excuse Use the word(s) given in brackets and make any necessary additions to write a new sentence in such a way that it is as similar as possible in meaning to the original sentence Do NOT change the form of the given word(s) We couldn't hear most of what he said (inaudible) ……………………………………………………………………………… Their exclusion from union meetings stems from their shocking behaviour at the last one (since) …………………………………………………………………………… Generally, the majority of the audience is made up of school children (comprise) …………………………………………………………………………… I though he might have forgotten our appointment so I faxed him (case) ………………………………………………………………………… 14 The final scene was so horrible that I had to turn away (bear) ……………………………………………………………………………… Write a paragraph of about 200 words to answer the questions Should secondary students take part in extracurricular activities?
