it has the near-extinct shaggy musk ox, the regal moose, grizzly bears, wolverine and lynx The refuge is the breeding ground for 150 species of birds that migrate to the US, Asia and South America for the bitter winters, when for three months the sun does not rise and temperatures drop below minus 50 centigrade Above all, it is the 130,000 caribou which dominate the landscape and on which the Gwich’in depend for much of their food Each year the caribou go on one of the last great mammal migrations on the planet, trekking from 1,000 miles away in Canada, through the 9,000ft Brooks range and swimming precariously across sweeping rivers, to the narrow coastal strip of the refuge Here, in the calving grounds sacred to the Gwich’in, the caribou fatten up with cotton grass to get them through the Arctic winter and, protected from predators, the cows give birth But amid the majestic scenery are a few oil seeps, a tell-tale sign of what is underneath: below the feet of the grazing caribou lies enough crude oil to fill up to 16 billion barrels – worth many tens of billions of pounds – and the oil companies are pushing hard to start drilling Oil is already produced along much of the rest of the Alaskan coast but is starting to dry up At the Prudhoe Bay field, just along from the refuge, production has fallen from two million barrels a day a decade ago to a million now And the momentum to raid the refuge for oil, which will further promote global warming, is building Although not all shareholders are enthusiastic, preferring money to be spent on renewable energy sources, the oil industry can count on the support of the majority Alaskans Oil has made this once poor and punishing state rich and far more comfortable, and now accounts for 85 per cent of its economy Anchorage, not so long ago a small, insignificant town, now boasts soaring, mirrored office blocks, and every village now has a million-dollar school Oil has also brought many thousands of well-paid jobs, and opening up the refuge will create up to 700,000 more, and with current oil fields drying up, pressure for new jobs is intense Page (3) Prudhoe Bay is one of the largest industrial developments in the world, with hundreds of miles of pipelines snacking across the damp tundra, disappearing off to the horizon in every direction There are hundreds of well heads and processing facilities, flares, landing strips, roads, sea water processing plants and accommodation blocks In between, the land is indeed clean and major oil spills have been avoided However, the company’s record here is far from unblemished: earlier this year it had to pay a $15m fine for toxic waste dumping For the Gwich’in, there is a far more fundamental issue Faith Gemmill, their spokeswoman, showed me around her ancestors’ cemetery, on a bend in a river overlooked by the mountains She then declared: “This is how we have lived for thousands of years No one has a right to take this away from us for money or greed This is what they did to the Sioux when they killed the buffalo When is this country going to learn they can't that to a people?” 16 The Gwich’in tribe seem to have A travelled to gain publicity C recently become aware of a threat B taken part in a traditional dance ritual D been at war with neighbouring tribes 17 What is meant by the phrase “live by subsistence” in paragraph 1? A People depend only on the natural resources available to them in their immediate environment for their survival B People deal with a clash between industrial and environmental interest C People live in an area where the caribou breed – perhaps one which is being threatened by oil pollution D People suffer one of the various forms of anti-environmental activity which threaten the caribou’s habitat 18 Their destination, Arctic Village A falls within a wildlife reserve C is part of an area under threat B is home to many wild animals D is completely inaccessible 19 According to the article, locals and tourists A are struck by the diverse natural surroundings C are awed by the area's long history B are mainly interested in birds D have different perceptions of the area 20 The caribou are unusual in that A they survive in an oil field C they are considered sacred B they make seasonal journeys D they can only eat certain grasses 21 Greatest support for the drilling to begin comes from A oil companies C the unemployed B the Alaskan locals D the Anchorage authorities 22 The writer implies that the installation at Prudhoe Bay A is a taste of things to come C is without environmental impact B is larger than it should be D is aesthetically pleasing 23 The word “unblemished” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ” A unspoiled B uncontaminated C towering D swampy 24 What point is Faith Gemmill making when she mentions the Sioux and the buffalo in the last paragraph? A Just as the traditional life of the Sioux depended on the survival of the buffalo, the traditional life of the Gwich’in will be destroyed if the oil company destroys he habitat of the caribou B The local population will support the oil industry because drilling has brought wealth and prosperity to other Alaskan communities C The Sioux are a tribe of North American Indians famed for their struggle to protect their territories and buffalo from the white settlers in the mid-nineteenth century D The benefits of drilling for oil in the area where caribou graze is: the huge quantity of crude oil which lies beneath the caribou grazing ground; and the wealth which would greatly improve the quality of life for thousands of people living and working in the area 25 Regarding the clash between the environmentalists and the oil companies, the writer’s attitude can best be described as A cynical B balanced C partisan D aloof Page (4) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks from 26 to 35 THE RAVEN A very large fierce black bird, the raven has always been (26) with evil omen But the myths and stories that surround ravens also take account of their unusual intelligence, their ability to (27) sounds and voices and the way they seem to (28) up a situation The fact is, people have never known quite how to (29) the raven In many northern myths he was creator of the world, bringer of daylight, but also an aggressive trickster Many traditional stories (30) the unpleasant ways in which Raven gets the (31) of a human adversary Legend (32) it that when there are no more ravens in the Tower of London, the monarchy will fall In the seventeenth century King Charles II (33) that at least six ravens should always be kept in the Tower Today there are seven; six to preserve the monarchy, and a seventh in (34) To the amusement of tourists, the ravens are officially enlisted as defenders of the kingdom, and, as is the (35) with soldiers, can be dismissed for unsatisfactory conduct 26 A 27 A 28 A 29 A 30 A 31 A 32 A 33 A 34 A 35 A relaxed fake size put turn on best holds decreed substitution truth B B B B B B B B B B coupled mimic match work bring about most states compelled reserve issue C C C C C C C C C C associated mirror eye pick spark off better has required continuity circumstance D D D D D D D D D D accompanied simulate catch take make up good keeps enacted standby case Read the following extracts from How I Got My First Class Degree by Mark McArdle and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 45 HOW I GOT MY FIRST-CLASS DEGREE “Don’t spend too much time at the student lounge, turn up for most lectures and tutorials and submit all coursework – eventually.” That, I was told by a PhD student during freshers’ week, was all I needed to to get a 2:2 For a 2:1, I’d require a better attendance record and have to work harder, but not at the expense of being cut off from civilisation And for a First, I would have to become some sort of social outcast, go to every lecture and tutorial (scribbling notes madly), spend every waking moment immersed in academic books, and he among the last to be thrown out of the university library at 10pm closing time Well, I did not give up my life for study I didn’t attend every lecture and tutorial I didn't write down every word spoken in lectures I didn’t get 80% or more in every essay, project, test or exam I was usually behind with my reading and occasionally mystified by the syllabus Sometimes I couldn’t be bothered to go to university and stayed at home instead But I always knew where I was, what I had to do, and what not to bother with And I always worked hard on the things that counted: assignments and exams Getting a degree is about learning, but it isn’t just about learning biology, history, English or whatever It’s about understanding what you need to succeed – what, in fact, the university wants from you and what you will get in return You have to have a feel for the education market and really sell your inspirations What does the lecturer want? What is the essay marker searching for? Some students try to offer something not wanted Others want to give very little – they steal the thoughts of others and submit them as their own But they all want to be rewarded Exchange, but don’t steal, and you’ll get a degree I saw lecturers as customers who fell into two broad categories There were those for whom lecturing was an unwelcome interruption to their research work After all, we were students and what did we know? I would deliberately pitch my essays to this kind of academic so that my opinions appeared more as evidence Page (5) that I had read and understood the key contributions to the debate, rather than as an attempt to pull down monuments The other type of academic were those who enjoyed teaching and discussing new ideas They wanted more They wanted something different inspirational, iconoclastic I would present my arguments to show that I had done my reading and understood the key concepts, but I would also try to add something more to the issue rather than rake over familiar ground Essentially, it was a case of working out what was wanted and then delivering it I can’t state exactly how successful this tactic was, except to say that I sold more essays than I had returned as faulty I could guarantee every book on my reading list was out on long loan from the university library within five seconds of the list being issued This was worrying at first, but I quickly learned that it was impossible to read all of the books on an average reading list anyway I sought shortcuts Collections of selected readings or journal articles were excellent sources that often saved me the bother of reading the original texts References in books dragged me all over the place but, with all the courses I had to do, there wasn’t enough time to be dragged too far I would flick through the book, read the introduction, note any summaries, look at diagrams, skim the index, and read any conclusions I plucked out what was needed and made my escape I revised by discarding subject areas I could not face revising; reading; compiling notes; and then condensing them onto one or two sheets of A4 for each subject area Leading up to the exam, I would concentrate on just the condensed notes and rely on my memory to drag out the detail behind them when the time came I didn’t practise writing exam questions, although it was recommended I prefer to be spontaneous and open-minded I don’t want pre-formed conclusions filling my mind And nor should you; there is no secret to getting a First – this is just an account of how I got my First Be a happy student by striking the right balance between working and enjoying yourself Take what you seriously and your best And, no matter what you do, don’t forget to appreciate every day of your university studies: it is one of the greatest periods of your life 36 The PhD student who spoke to the writer A exaggerated the need to work hard C succeeded in scaring the writer B thought the writer would get a First D was uncertain how to help the writer 37 What does the writer mean by the phrase “being cut off from civilisation” in the first paragraph? A It means having so much coursework that your life consists of nothing but study B It means you don’t go out with your friends, watch little or no TV, and just spend time at home or in the university library preparing for exams C It means arguing against theories or beliefs that are already well-established with the public D It means being a real procrastinator and leave studying for exams until the last minute 38 According to the writer, an important factor in success at university is A the ability to understand the market C clever use of other people’s ideas B acquaintance with lecturers and markers D an understanding of what was required 39 In the third paragraph, the writer warns against A trying to second-guess lecturers C plagiarism in essays and exams B expecting to be rewarded D offering money to academic staff 40 In his relationship with his lecturers, the writer tried to A show them that he would make a good salesman B his work in a style which matched their expectations C always have some new ideas to impress them with D never upset them by submitting ground-breaking work 41 How did the writer cope with long lists of required reading? A He ignored them C He was selective B He wrote his own D He summarised them 42 The word “flick through” in paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ” A search quickly B discard C absorb D feel for 43 What does the writer mean by the phrase “plucked out what was needed” in paragraph 5? Page (6) A This means dredging up things from memory, recalling from the author’s memory information that was essential to him passing the exams B This means taking out exactly what is important or the information the author felt would help him the most in preparing for the exams C This means reading everything that might be in the exams, instead of just skimming texts for information D It means trying to study in advance of exams instead of waiting until the last minute, and making a study plan is a good idea as it helps him to be organised and focused on what needs to be done 44 Why did the writer not practise writing exam questions? A He was advised not to B He thought the practice was rather boring C He wanted to answer exam questions critically D He thought it might prejudice staff against him 45 The writer concludes by advising students to A follow his recipe for success C concentrate on passing exams B make the most of being a student D aim for a First at all costs Read the following passage and mark the letter A,
