In recent years, universities have been coming under (3.increase) pressure from both governments and the public (4.ensure) that they not remain “ivory towers” of study divorced from the realities of everyday life University teachers (5.encourage) , and in some cases constrained, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills (6 require) for the commercial sector and research that has practical benefits which are commercially exploitable If Aristotle (7.want) to work in a tertiary institution in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher A post-industrial society (8 require) large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but man, as the Bible says “does not live by bread alone” Apart from requiring medical and social services which not directly contribute to economic growth, it (9.be) an impoverished society that did not value and enjoy literature, music and the arts In these cost- conscious times, it even (10.point out) in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners A successful musical, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross Nation Product through tourist dollars as any other export initiative IV Use the correct form of the word in capitals to fit each gap (1 point) Interviews are an imperfect method of choosing the best people for jobs, yet human (1) like to examine each other in BE this way One of the many problems of (2) as it is SELECT commonly practised is that the forms filled in by (3) APPLY often fail to show people as they really are This means that you can follow all the best (4) when completing your form and ADVISE still find that you are (5) at the next stage - the interview SUCCESS (6) , in the rare cases where interviewers are automatic, a SIMILAR candidate with an (7) form may surprisingly well ADEQUAT E Of course, your forms need to show that you have (8) CONFIDEN T in your (9) to the job, but don’t try to turn yourself ABLE into someone else – a person you have to pretend to be at the interview Realism and (10) are definitely the best HONEST approach V Choose the correct prepositional phrase from the box to complete the following sentences You may not use one phrase (1 point) on good terms ashamed of for safe keeping independent of on the whole out of order tired of capable of for a change out of at most tune She was her poor exam results He gave his watch and wallet to me while he went for a swim in the lake You are better work than this The piano is again It sounds terrible She is old enough to be her parents Despite many disagreements, they’re now with their nextdoor neighbours I’m doing the same thing every day C READING: I There are FIVE blanks in the passage below From the phrases / sentences in the box, choose the most suitable for each blank There is ONE EXTRA option that you DO NOT need to use (5.0 points) A by attracting as many as several hundred thousand international students to their countries B so are not classed as international students C as defined by the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act D in accordance to its own national education system E preferred by international students are the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada and Australia F by sending hundreds of thousand students to study abroad The definition of "international student" varies in each country (41) In Australia, international students are defined as those studying onshore only with visa subclasses 570 to 575, excluding students on Australian-funded scholarships or sponsorship or students undertaking study while in possession of other temporary visas New Zealand citizens not require a visa to study in Australia, (42) In Japan, international students are defined as foreign nationals who study at any Japanese university, graduate school, junior college, college of technology, professional training college or university preparatory course on a “college student” visa, (43) According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in their 2009 World Conference on Higher Education report, over 2.5 million students were studying outside their home country UNESCO also predicted that the number of international students might rise to approximately million by the year 2020 The main destinations (44) Overall, the number of international students more than doubled to over million between 2000 and 2007 However, the sharpest percentage increases of international students have occurred in New Zealand, Korea, the Netherlands, Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland In recent years, some Asian and Middle East countries have started to attract more international students These regions have entered the market with declared ambitions to become regional education centers (45) II Choose the most suitable heading from the box for each paragraph below There is ONE EXTRA heading that you DO NOT need to use (5.0 points) HEADINGS A The amount that American eat B Americans even getting fatter C Changing meal times everywhere D Why Americans love fast food E Unhealthy American schools F How American schools deal with obesity among teenagers 46: In the past year, the adult obesity rate rose in 48 of America’s 52 states Despite the campaigns to make people aware of the dangers of over-eating, about 119 million, or 64% of US adults are either overweight or obese Worryingly, this figure is predicted to rise to 73% by the end of this year What does this mean for America? Page of 5Already 300,000 deaths each year are caused by obesity (only smoke kills more people), and the annual cost to the country is around $100 billion 47: Many people blame for the fast food industry, along with sedentary life styles, for the worrying increase The average American now consumes about three hamburgers and four portions of French fries every week That’s 90 grams of fat and 2.250 calories (the average person needs about 2.000 calories a day) A recent survey found that every month 90% of America children eat at least one meal in fast food restaurant 48: Most Americans know that fast food isn’t good for them It is high in calories, fat, salt and sugar Yet fast-food restaurants are part of American life After World War II, higher salaries and productivity, together with technological developments and increased consumerism, made fast food restaurants popular It presented a modern lifestyle, and is still a popular place for teenagers to get together with friends The food is cheap, and many say they love the taste The advertising is often aimed at children, with offers of entertainment and free gifts 49: Another in fast food sales – not only in the USA, but all over the world – is our increasingly busy lifestyles In the past, families ate a home-cooked meal together at dinner time These days, meals can be eaten at any hour of the day, and people rely on easy, instant food – not always nutritious – that is available “24/7” America invented the “TV dinner”, and it is something most people around the world now enjoy 50: Finding nutritious food is also difficult in schools, which is often have contracts with fast food supplies and drinks companies Teenage boys in the US each drink an average of 868 cans of fizzy drinks per year Exercise in school has become less important too A recent report showed that half of all US teens aged 12 – 21 got only America’s problem – Europe is also getting faster It is estimated that over one million children in the UK are obese and this number has trebled over the past 20 years III Read the passage below and decide which option A, B, C or D best fits each space (10 points) Childhood is the time when there are (51) responsibilities to make life difficult If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, (52) he may It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to anything in return In (53) , life is always presenting new things to the child - things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known A child finds pleasure playing in the rain, or in the snow His first visit to the seaside is a marvellous adventure (54) , a child has his pain He is not so free to as he wishes as he thinks older people are: he is continually told not to things, or being punished (55) what he has done wrong His life is therefore not perfectly happy When a young man starts to (56) his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents, but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities He can no longer expect (57) to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but he has to work if he wants to live comfortably If he spends most time playing about in a day he used to as a child, he will be hungry And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison If, however, he works hard, keeps out of troubles and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of seeing himself make steady (58) in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy With old age (59) wisdom Page ofand the ability to help others with advice wisely given The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life: they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them, and perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come (60) the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight 51 A little B few C a little D a few 52 A whenever B wherever C whatever D whosoever 53 A short B term C reality D addition 54 A However B But C Therefore D Moreover 55 A because B for C at D by 56 A

IV Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question (10 points) Paul Bunyan is perhaps America’s best-known folk hero A fictional logger of incredible strength, he was most likely based on an actual nineteenth-century logger from the northern United States or Canada As a folk hero, he struck a chord with Line Americans on some level, perhaps because he was incredibly strong but also because (5) he was hard-working and capable, ingenious in solving problems, and fun-loving Though there is evidence that Paul Bunyan tales were part of oral tradition in the nineteen century, Paul Bunyan stories did not appear in written form until the early twentieth century Journalist James McGillivray included descriptions of Bunyan in a series of essay entitled “The Round River Drive” which appeared in a number of (10) Midwestern newspapers between 1906 and 1910 However, it was through an extensive advertising campaign that Paul Bunyan moved solidly into print Recognizing the appeal of Paul Bunyan as a figure for his company’s advertising, William Laughead, an advertising executive for the Red River Lumber Company, initiated a campaign that consisted of a series of publications featuring Paul (15) Bunyan For several decades, the company distributed these publications free of charge and made no attempt to obtain a copyright on them In fact, the company vigorously encouraged other writers to make use of Paul Bunyan because it felt that the use of this character enhanced the name recognition of the Red River Lumber Company inasmuch as the name of the folk hero and the name of the company had (20) become interwoven The Bunyan stories published by Red River and further circulated by others were tall tales of gigantic proportions In these tales, Banyan is depicted as a man of superhuman proportions, who is strong, hard-working, entrepreneurial, and innovative In one story, for example, Paul is credited with digging the Great Lakes in (25) order to create a watering hole for his giant ox, Babe In another of these tales, Paul caused an entire winter of blue snow to fall by swearing a blue streak after he injured himself by smashing his thumb with a large hammer A third story in the series describes Paul’s role in establishing the Mississippi River Fascination with Paul Bunyan has continued to grow, and today he is a standard of American folklores The prevalence of Bunyan as a figure of folklore today is evidenced by references to him in countless stories, cartoons, poems, and songs as well as the numerous community festivals and logging competitions featuring Paul Bunyan that can be found throughout the sections of the country where logging has strong tradition 61 The purpose of this passage is to A present the actual feats of a real-life logger Page of B provide an overview of American folktales C describe logging in North America D discuss a “larger than life” folk hero 62 It is NOT stated in the passage that Paul Bunyan is known for his A unusual strength B dedication to work C ingenuity in difficult situations D serious nature 63 The passage states that Paul Bunyan tales first appeared A in oral stories B in advertising C in newspapers D in a series of essays 64 Which of the following CANNOT be inferred about the Red River Lumber Company’s advertising campaign featuring Paul Bunyan? A It endured for quite a time B The company did not protect its ownership of the stories C The campaign did little to enhance the company’s profitability D The company wanted the name Paul Bunyan to be known as widely as possible 65 The pronoun “them” in line 14 refers to A publications B series C decades D writers 66 The word “interwoven” in line 17 could be best replaced by A unfashionable B mixed together C not compatible D too separate 67 Where in the passage does the author discuss a weather phenomenon that Paul Bunyan supposedly caused? A Lines 3-5 B Lines 14-17 C lines 20-23 D Lines 2529 68 The word “countless” in line 27 could be best replaced by the expression A an overestimated number of B an insubstantial number of C a large number of D a specified number of 69 Which paragraph describes the plots of some of the tales of Paul Bunyan? A The second paragraph B The third paragraph C The fourth paragraph D The fifth paragraph 70 The author’s tone in this passage is A humorous B neutral C sarcastic D pessimistic D WRITING: I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence printed before (5.0 points) 71 Something must be done to help the victims of the earthquake in Mexico  Urgent …………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………… ……………………………………………………………………………………… …… 72 It was careless of you to allow your 16-year-old son to drive your car  You should …………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………….…………………………………………………………………………………… 73 I shall never lend John any money, no matter what happens  Under no ………………………………………………….………………………………………………… ………………….………………………………………………………………………………… 74 Someone has suggested abolishing income tax  It …………………………………………………………………………………………….……… Page 10 of ………………….………………………………………….……………………………………… ……….…… 75 Thank you for reminding me about the timetable, otherwise I would have missed the last train  If…………………… ……………………………………………………………………….…… ……………………………………………………………….…………………………………… ………….…… II This is a part of a letter that you have received from David, a pen friend from New Zealand In about 100 - 120 words, write a letter to answer his questions (10 points) I cannot decide whether I should go to Vietnam to work after my graduation Can you give me some advice?
