Question 6: Read the following passage and choose the best answer Write your answers in the numbered blanks provided below the passage (10p)
In addition to the great ridges and volcanic chains, the oceans conceal another form of undersea mountains: the strange guyot, or flat-topped seamount No marine geologist even suspected the existence of these isolated mountains until they were discovered by geologist Harry H Hess in 1946 He was serving at the time as naval officer on a ship equipped with a fathometer Hess named these truncated peaks for the nineteenth-century Swiss-born geologist Arnold Guyot, who had served on the faculty of Princeton University for thirty years Since then, hundreds of guyots have been discovered in every ocean but the Arctic Like offshore canyons, guyots present a challenge to oceanographic theory They are believed to be extinct volcanoes.Their flat tops indicate that they once stood above or just below the surface, where the action of waves leveled off their peaks Yet today, by definition, their summits are at least 600 feet below the surface, and some are as deep as 8,200 feet Most lie between 3,200 feet and 6,500 feet Their tops are not really flat but slope upward to a low pinnacle at the center Dredging from the tops of guyots has recovered basalt and coral rubble, and that would be expected from the eroded tops of what were once islands Some of this material is over 80 million years old Geologists think the drowning of the guyots involved two processes: The great weight of the volcanic mountains depressed the sea floor beneath them, and the level of the sea rose a number of times, especially when the last Ice Age ended, some 8,000 to 11.000 years ago

(4)As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were reworked The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch settlers to New York in the early 18th century Traditionally, Santa Claus - from the Dutch Sinter Klaas - was depicted as a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the air Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children In North America he eventually developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter
Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter The poem introduced many Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh Portraits and drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the legend during the second half of the 19th century Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and delivered toys to all good children By the late 19th century he had become such a prominent figure of American folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”

DECLARE) of war against textbooks and style books which tell lies
(22)had told him rather rudely that he had to (72 PHRASE) a sentence which ended with a preposition Churchill responded by making the simple yet forceful (73
STATE) in the margin: “This is an impertinence up with which I will not put.” – the (74 IMPLY) being that not to end a sentence with a preposition often sounds ridiculous in English, Sadly, Allen informs us that the story is probably mere (75
HEAR) , and that Churchill may have actually only written “rubbish!” in the margin C READING
PART VIII Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions
Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun's rays Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of
maintaining a constant body temperature Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert
mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day
Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adapted animals The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to dehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication
The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst
76 What is the main topic of the passage?
A Weather variations in the desert B Adaptations of desert animals C Diseased of desert animals D Human use of desert animals 77 According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?
A It helps them hide from predators C It helps them see their young at night
B It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors D It keeps them cool at night 78 The word "maintaining" is closest in meaning to
A measuring B inheriting C preserving D delaying 79 The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of
(23)B an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel
C a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures D a desert animal with a constant body temperature
80 When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?
A Just before sunrise B In the middle of the day C Just after sunset D Just after drinking 81 The word "tolerate" is closest in meaning to
A endure B replace C compensate D reduce 82 What causes water intoxication?
A Drinking too much water very quickly B Drinking polluted water C Bacteria in water D Lack of water 83 What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?
A They not need to eat much food B They can eat large quantities quickly
C They easily lose their appetites D They can travel long distances looking for food 84 Why does the author mention humans in the second paragraph?
A To show how they use camels B To contrast them to desert mammals
C To give instructions about desert survival D To show how they have adapted to desert life
85 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an adaptation of large desert animals? A Variation in body temperatures B Eating while dehydrated C Drinking water quickly D Being active at night
PART IX Read the text below and decide which answer A, B, C or D best fits each space When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently (86) across words you not fully understand Sometimes you check the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you (88) The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (87) of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal
If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is worth remembering that every dictionary has its (89) Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after
meeting it in a (90) of contexts It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (91) an English-English dictionary
In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary (92) you are allowed to use one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited You are, (93) , forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words
(24)Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues, both within the sentence and outside, and making use of clues (95) from the
formation of the word
86 A put B drop C see D come 87 A look B guess C examine D inspect 88 A extent B range C degree D level 89 A limitations B values C advantages D entry 90 A multiple B variety C variation D diversity 91 A survey B consult C refer D inquire 92 A or else B Provided C Although D Even if 93 A so B therefore C completely D so that 94 A surpass B get over C go over D overcome 95 A derived B extracted C coming D originated D WRITING
PART X Complete the second sentence so that it has similar meaning to the first one 96 This will be my student's first performance in Canada

→ In six-month-time ……… 98 The number of people who understand his ideas exceed his expectations

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of international communication English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066 Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work That small enslaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy
Currently, more than 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English Two thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers Today there are 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users of any language in the world
1 What is the main topic of the passage? A The number of nonnative users of English B The French influence on the English language
C The expansion of English as an international language D The use of English for science and technology
2 English began to be used beyond England approximately A in 1066 B around 1350 C before 1600 D after 1600
3 According to the passage, all of the following contributed to the spread of English around the world EXCEPT
A the slave trade B the Norman invasion C missionaries D colonization
4 Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A Most of the information stored on computer systems is in English
(30)D International airports and air controllers use mostly English
5 According to the passage, approximately how many nonnative users of English are there in the world today?
A A quarter million B Half a million C 350 million D 700 million
Part IV: Read the passage then choose the best sentences A-K to fill in each gap There is one extra sentence which you not need to use:
BITTER WATER HITS THE BIG TIME
Chocolate, which has its origins in South America, is now part of a multi-million pound worldwide business
At Easter, British people spend over $230 million on chocolate A massive eight per cent of all chocolate is bought at this time
(1) Although the large scale industrial production of chocolate began in the last century, the cacao plant was first cultivated by the Aztec, Toltec and Mayan civilizations of Central America over three thousand years ago
The cacao tree is an evergreen, tropical plant which is found in Africa, South and Central
America, the West Indies and South East Asia The fruit of this tree is melon-sized and contains 20-40 seeds (2) In English – speaking countries, they are called cocoa beans This is a misspelling from the 17th century when they were also called cacoa and cocao beans
The Aztecs used cocoa beans as money (3) This is from the world in the Aztec language, Nahuatl, meaning “bitter water” (4) The Spanish found the drink more palatable mixed with cinnamon and sugar, but the recipe did not spread to the rest of Europe for another
century In the late 17th century, chocolate houses were set up in Europe’s capital cities, where people gathered to drink chocolate
(5) But in 1826, CJ van Houten of the Netherlands invented chocolate powder (6) The age of the chocolate bar as we know it began in 1847 when a Bristol company, Fry and Sons, combined cocoa butter with pure chocolate liquor and sugar to produce a solid block that you could eat (7)
At the turn of the century, the British chocolate market was dominated by French companies In 1879 the English company Cadbury even named their Birmingham factory Bournville (ville is the French word for town) in the hope that a little glamour would rub off But then came Cadbury’s famous Dairy Milk bar which began life as a Dairymaid in 1905 (8)
It seems that, for the time being at least, chocolate intake in Britain has established at about four bars each week (9) The latest market trick is the so-called “extended line” This is when the humble chocolate bar becomes an ice cream, a soft drink or a dessert, to tempt chocoholics who have grown tired of conventional snacks
At the other end of the production process, cacao farmers are still feeling the effects of a crash in cocoa bean prices at the end of 1980s (10) Perhaps you could spare a thought for them as you munch your next chocolate bars
A This was made by extracting most of the cocoa butter from the crushed beans
B A Swiss company then introduced milk solids to the process which gave us milk chocolate C They also used them to make a drink called xocoatl
(31)E When dried they become cacao beans, which can be used to make chocolate
F Clever advertising which associated it with the healthy qualities of milk from the English countryside quickly established the bar as a rival to the more decadent French brands G British manufacturers include up to per cent vegetable fat in their chocolate, something forbidden elsewhere
H As most cacao farmers operate on a very small scale, many were forced out of business I This has forced manufacturers to look for new ways to attract customers
J In Aztec times the chocolate drink was flavored with spices and used on ceremonial occasions and for welcoming visitors
K Only at Christmas people eat more of the cocoa-based foodstuffs Section C: Writing
Part I: Rewrite the following sentences so that they have a similar meaning with the first one
1 “Don’t forget to phone the police”, she said
She reminded him It is believed that the man escaped in a stolen car
The man A small church lies at the foot of the hill
At the foot If you changed your mind, you’ll be welcome to join our club
Were you We don’t have to so many things to please him
It is I’m sure he didn’t it by himself
He He can’t afford to go to America this summer
He doesn’t Timmy has become confident as a result of his success
Timmy’s success has turned I haven't seen my uncle for a long time
It's a long time 10 She dances beautifully and she sings sweetly, too
Not only Part II: Finish the second sentence so that it means the same as the first one , using the word in capital letters which must not be altered in any way :
1 You should think about the price before you decide whether to buy it or not (consideration) →………
(32)→……… Twenty years ago this region produced twice as much coal as it does now.(halved) →……… The prime minister in unlikely to call an early general election (likelihood) →……… The policeman acted quickly and averted an accident (prompt)
→……… Part III: Write a composition (300 words) about the following topic:
