that seemed like rubberized wings The water was murky, rich with plankton that attracted the giant rays that filtered it through their wide mouths They treated me with caution, maintaining a constant distance if I turned towards them, but were content to let me swim on a parallel course, as if I too was feeding on the plankton For a few minutes we were companions, until, circling and shifting shape against the depths, they became faint black shadows in the gloom and were gone The deep blue of the Indian Ocean has captured my heart and drawn me back again and again to these pure shores On Praslin there were dolphins off-shore and a pair of octopus, sliding across the coral as they flashed signals to one another with changing skin tones as remarkable as – but much faster – than any chameleon At Conception, close to Mahe, giant rocks formed an underwater cathedral beckoning me into its vaults where moray ells gaped at me, the strange visitor to their liquid world B Gabriel And so my first real trip to Asia unfolded in what seemed a series of dream-panels-adventures and faces and events so far removed from my day-to-day experience that I could not convert them into any tongue I knew I revisited them again and again, sleepless in my memories and notes and photographs, once home Almost every day of the three-week trip was so vivid that, upon returning, I gave a friend a nine-hour account of every moment The motorbike ride through Sukhothai; the first long lazy evening in an expat’s teak house in Sunkumvhit; the light into the otherworldly charm of Rangoon and the Strand Hotel, and the pulse of warm activity around the Sule Pagoda at night-fall long hot days in the silence 5000 temples on every side; slow trip at dawn along Inle lake, seeing a bird-faced boat being led through the quiet water; a frenzied morning backs in Bangkok, writing an article while monsoon rains pounded on the windows all around me C Maya As I stepped off the six-seater Cessna plane after a bumpy flight over the Okavango Delta and my feel touched the arid ground I knew this was what I’d been waiting for all my life – Africa Our first day was at the Selinda Camp in one of the driest parts of the Delta and when we arrived I thought that nothing could possibly survive under the relentless sun I was almost immediately proved wrong as Selinda is near a small lagoon – home to a group of hippos At night we could hear their bark like call Our guides warned us that although hippos may seem harmless, if threatened they could easily kill a man! We went on to stay in various other camps that were situated in different habitants Jacana Camp was surrounded entirely by water and only accessible by boat But my favorite place was the Kalahari Desert Our final camp was located just on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, which are home to many rare species of animal, such as the brown hyena Page 8/19 D Tom I’d been to New York three times in the past but not for long and I couldn’t remember much of it This time I only had four days but I was on my own and this seems like a better way to get to know a city: less being sociable, more walking and visiting different places Perfect I liked New York even more than I expected and it’s right up there on my list of foreign cities where I’d like to live It’s fighting for the top spot with San Francisco, with the next position occupied by Paris I stayed at the Incentra Village House, which was lovely, reasonably priced, really friendly, comfortable room I’d stay there again I did a lot of walking and could easily have done a lot more I rarely left Manhattan One day I walked more than 12 miles, including the length of Central Park and on down Fifth Avenue Fifth Avenue was the least pleasant place, it felt like London’s Oxford Street I also walked along the High Line which is very nicely done, although rather shorter than Paris’s Promenade Plantee Which person (s) Paragraph (A-D) 71 interacted closely with wild animals? 72 was participating in a water sport? 73 told someone about his/her experience 74 did not think he/she would like the place so much? 75 was in relatively close proximity to dangerous animals? 76 refers to documenting their travel experiences? 77 appreciated the advantages of traveling alone? 78 spent time near places of worship? 79 compared the place he/she visited with other places? 80 was shown around by a professional?

corresponding numbered boxes (1 point) GLACIERS Paragraph A Besides the earth’s oceans, glacier ice is the largest source of water on earth A glacier is a massive stream or sheet of ice that moves underneath itself under the influence of gravity Some glaciers travel down mountains or valleys, while others spread across a large expanse of land Heavily glaciated regions such as Greenland and Antarctica are called continental glaciers These two ice sheets encompass more than 95 percent of the earth’s glacial ice The Greenland ice sheet is almost 10,000 feet thick in some areas, and the weight of this glacier is so heavy that much of the region has been depressed below sea level Smaller glaciers that occur at higher elevations are called alpine or valley glaciers Another way of classifying glaciers is in terms of their internal temperature In temperate glaciers, the ice within the glacier is near its melting point Polar glaciers, in contrast, always maintain temperatures far below melting Paragraph В The majority of the earth’s glaciers are located near the poles, though glaciers exist on all continents, including Africa and Oceania The reason glaciers are generally formed in high alpine regions is that they require cold temperatures throughout the year In these areas where there is little opportunity for summer ablation (loss of mass), snow changes to compacted firm and then crystallized ice During periods in which melting and evaporation exceed the amount of snowfall, glaciers will retreat rather than progress While glaciers rely heavily on snowfall, other climactic conditions including freezing rain, avalanches, and wind, contribute to their growth One year of below average precipitation can stunt the growth of a glacier tremendously With the rare exception of surging glaciers, a common glacier flows about 10 Page 10/19 inches per day in the summer and inches per day in the winter The fastest glacial surge on record occurred in 1953, when the Katia Glacier in Pakistan grew more than 12 kilometers in three months Paragraph C The weight and pressure of ice accumulation causes glacier movement Glaciers move out from under themselves, via plastic deformation and basal slippage First, the internal flow of ice crystals begins to spread outward and downward from the thickened snow pack also known as the zone of accumulation Next, the ice along the ground surface begins to slip in the same direction Seasonal thawing at the base of the glacier helps to facilitate this slippage The middle of a glacier moves faster than the sides and bottom because there is no rock to cause friction The upper part of a glacier rides on the ice below As a glacier moves it carves out a U-shaped valley similar to a riverbed, but with much steeper walls and a flatter bottom Paragraph D Besides the extraordinary rivers of ice, glacial erosion creates other unique physical features in the landscape such as horns, fjords, hanging valleys, and cirques Most of these landforms not become visible until after a glacier has receded Many are created by moraines, which occur at the sides and front of a glacier Moraines are formed when material is picked up along the way and deposited in a new location When many alpine glaciers occur on the same mountain, these moraines can create a horn The Matterhorn, in the Swiss Alps is one of the most famous horns Fjords, which are very common in Norway, are coastal valleys that fill with ocean water during a glacial retreat Hanging valleys occur when two or more glacial valleys intersect at varying elevations It is common for waterfalls to connect the higher and lower hanging valleys, such as in Vosemite National Park A cirque is a large bowl-shaped valley that forms at the front of a glacier Cirques often have a lip on their down slope that is deep enough to hold small lakes when the ice melts away Page 11/19 Paragraph E Glacier movement and shape shifting typically occur over hundreds of years While presently about 10 percent of the earth’s land is covered with glaciers, it is believed that during the last Ice Age glaciers covered approximately 32 percent of the earth’s surface In the past century, most glaciers have been retreating rather than flowing forward It is unknown whether this glacial activity is due to human impact or natural causes, but by studying glacier movement, and comparing climate and agricultural profiles over hundreds of years, glaciologists can begin to understand environmental issues such as global warming List of headings (i) Glacial Continents (ii) Formation and Growth (iii) Glacial Movement (iv) Glaciers in the Last Ice Age (v) Glaciers Through the Years (vi) Types of Glaciers (vii) Glacial Effects on Landscapes (viii) Glaciers

B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions (1 point) Aging is the process of growing old It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood After that, they begin to decline Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible This can make moving very painful All the major organs of the body show signs of aging The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller in size Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged It may, for example, result in heart attack Aging is not a uniform process Different parts of the body wear out at different rates There are great differences among people in their rate of aging Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging-believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a built-in biological time-clock They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years 86 What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
