Last Wednesday, Mary went to a concert with her friend Julia The concert- hall was on the other side of the town and so they decided to (1) home early They caught the bus and arrived long (2) the concert was due to start There was a café nearby so they went in Mary ordered a sandwich and coffee but Julia decided to have a hot meal While they were waiting to (3) served, Mary looked (4) her handbag for the tickets to check what time the concert (5) begin

To (6) dismay, she discovered that the tickets were not there! Then she remembered that she (7) left them on the table at home She told Julia (8) .had happened and said she would go home to get the tickets She promised to be (9) before the concert started

I read several studies about dating In one American study, the researchers asked a large number of college students about arranging a date They focused on dates arranged by women (see Table 1) (1) ……… the students preferred hints In a hint, for example, the woman mentions that she has noticed something about the man or seen him somewhere If he talks to her, she can pay (2) ……… attention to him and act as if he is very interesting Then maybe she can say that she’d like to talk to him again These types of hints were preferred by about (3) ……… the students

……… them, liked this approach In fact, in another study I read, (9)

……… college men said that if they were asked directly, they would say “Yes.” An example of asking directly was: “I have some tickets for a concert Would you like to go with me?” In my opinion, this example may not provide reliable evidence about dating The man may want to go to the concert and say, “Yes,” but he may not like the woman Is this a date?

Question You are going to read a magazine article about pollution of the atmosphere Choose the most suitable heading from the list (A-H) for each part (1-6) of the article There is one extra heading which you not need to use There is an example for you (1.5 pts)

A Before ozone existed B Repair gets slower C People ignore warnings D Ozone hole a certainty

E The future is our responsibility F The function of the ozone layer G Delay reactions

H Humans to blame Strange results

In September 1982, Dr Joe Farman, a British scientist working in the Antarctic, found that a dramatic change had taken place in the atmosphere above his research station on the ice continent His instrument, set up to measure the amounts of a chemical called ozone in the atmosphere, seemed to go wild Over just a few days they recorded that half the ozone had disappeared

0 D

He couldn’t believe his eyes, so he came back to Britain to get a new instrument to check his findings But when he returned the following year at the same time, the same thing

happened He had discovered a hole in the ozone layer- an invisible shield in the upper atmosphere- that turned out to extend over an area of the sky as wide as the United States and as deep as Mount Everest is high When he published his findings in scientific journals, they caused a sensation Scientists blamed pollution for causing the ozone hole

1

The ozone layer is between 15 and 40 kilometres up in the atmosphere, higher than most aero planes fly This region contains most of the atmosphere’s ozone, which is a special form of the gas oxygen Ozone has the unique ability to stop certain dangerous invisible rays from the sun from reaching the Earth’s surface- rather like a pair of sunglasses filters out bright sunlight These rays are known as ultra-violet radiation This damages living cells, causing sunburn and more serious diseases The ozone layer is vital to life on the surface of the Earth

2

3

But now humans are damaging the ozone layer for the first time In the past ten years, scientists have discovered that some man-made gases, used in everything from refrigerators and aerosols to fire extinguishers, and floating up into the ozone layer and destroying the ozone The most common of these gases are called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

4

The damage is worst over Antarctica, and near the North Pole, where scientists have seen small holes appear for a short time each spring since 1989 So far, these holes have healed up again within a few weeks by natural processes in the atmosphere that create more ozone But each year, it seems to take longer for the healing to be completed Also, all round the planet, there now seems to be less ozone in the ozone layer than even a few years ago

The first new international law to stop people making or using CFCs was the Montreal Protocol, agreed by most of the world’s governments in 1987, Since then, there have been new controls on other chemicals that destroy ozone The problem is that it takes roughly eight years for CFCs, which are released when an old fridge is broken up, to reach the ozone layer That is why, despite all the cuts, ozone holes were deeper than ever around both the North and South Poles in 1993 Amounts of CFCs in the atmosphere will continue to rise for anther five years, say scientists

6

Every year, the atmosphere will attempt to repair damage to the ozone layer caused by our pollution But we are stretching its capacity to recover to the limit If we stop using all ozone-destroying chemicals within the next five years, it is likely to be at least the middle of the 21st century before the ozone hole stops forming over Antarctica each year And, if we are to

survive, we all have to face the problem now SECTION FOUR: WRITING (12 pts.)

Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of America’s unusual literary figures An individualist, he rambled through the country seeing people and places, and making them his own His experiences in earning a living were varied: at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper editor He was a big-hearted man, open and accepting He spent a lot of his time caring for the wounded during the Civil War Though he lived in the city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried through his poems In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one thin volume, “Leaves of Grass”, a book which he revised and was generally ignored by other poets, probably because his verse forms were not traditional He had felt that it was necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views His reputation didn’t grow until after his death, and it reached a high point in the 1920s Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly influenced modern poets

Section three : Reading

Question 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D which you think is correct

The sun today is a yellow dwarf star It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium The sun has existed in its present state for about billion, 600 million years and is thousands of times larger than the earth

By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what of the rest of the Sun's life will be like About billion years from now, the core of the sun will shrink and become hotter The surface temperature will fall The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of

thermonuclear reactions The outer regions of the Sun will expand appropriately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun The Sun will be then a red giant star Temperatures on the Earth will become too hot for life to exist

Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shirk After it shirks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosion as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf

After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have lost its heat Such a star is called a black dwarf After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen onto the Earth's surface

A to alert people to the dangers of posed by the sun B To discuss conditions on Earth in the far future C To present a theory about the red giant stars D To describe changes that the Sun will go through It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun

A It approximately haftway through its life as a yellow dwarf B has been in existence for 10 billion years

C is rapidly changing in size and brightness

D will continue as a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years

3 What will probably be the first stage of change as the Sun becomes a red giant? A Its core will cool off and use less fuel

B Its surface will become hotter and shrink C It will throw off huge amounts of gases D Its center will grow smaller and hotter

4 According to the passage, which of the following best describes the sequence of the stages that the Sun will probably pass through?

A Yellow dwarf, white dwarf, red giant, black giant B Red giant, white dwarf, red dwarf, nova explosion C Yellow dwarf, red giant, white dwarf, black dwarf D White dwarf, red giant, black dwarf, a yellow dwarf

5 The word " there" in the last sentence of paragraph refers to A our own planet

B The outer surface of the Sun C the core of a black dwarf D the planet Mercury

Question 2: Fill in the blank with an appropriate preposition;

1 Valuable chemical products are obtained _ volcanic substances, including gold and silver
