Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks fitted Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent Install a burglar alarm if (24) you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure When you have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine Ask to see an identity card, for example If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help 41 A well-protected house A is regarded as a challenge by most criminals B is very unlikely to be burgled C is less likely to be burgled D is a lot of bother to maintain 42 The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot A is useful B is where you always find a spare key C is predictable D is imaginative 43 According to the writer, we should A avoid leaving our house empty B only go out when we have to C always keep the curtains closed D give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out 44 What word best replaces “scrutinise” in paragraph 7? A search B gaze C glance D examine 45 What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4? A dissatisfying B isolated C depressing D populous 46 The phrase “aforementioned precautions” in paragraph refers to steps that A are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe B will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not C will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home D will stop a potential burglar 47 According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms A are good value for money B cost a lot of money but are worth it C are luxury items D are absolutely essential items 48 Gaining entry to a house through a small window A is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door B is tried only by very determined burglars C is not as difficult as people think D is surprisingly difficult 49 The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole A gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine B will prevent your home being burgled C avoids you having to invite people into your home D is only necessary for elderly people 50 The best title for the text is A What to if a burglar breaks into your home B Burglary statistics C Increasing household crime D Protecting your home from intruders VI Read the following passage and decide which option A, B, C or D best fits each space: Everyone has got two personalities - the one that is shown to the world and the other that is (51) and real You don’t show your secret personality when you are (52) , because you can control yourself But when you are asleep, your feeling position (53) the real you In a normal (54) , of course, people often change their position The important position is the one you go to sleep in If you go to sleep on your back, you are a very (55) person You usually believe people and you accept new things or new ideas easily You don’t like to make people sad, so you never express your (56) feeling You are quite shy If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person You (57) a lot and you always easily become sad You usually live for today not tomorrow This means that you (58) having a good time If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very (59) person You have a low opinion of yourself You are shy and don’t like meeting people You (60) to be on your own You are easily hurt 51 A serious B particular C secret D important (25) 52 A happy 53 A makes 54 A bed 55 A independent 56 A real 57 A talk 58 A enjoy 59 A nervous 60 A pretend B active B changes B body B generous B gentle B relax B regret B careful B oppose C honest C understand C night C talkative C cheerful C sleep C mind C healthy C refuse D awake D shows D room D open D lonely D worry D deny D strong D prefer VII WRITING Rewrite the following sentences so that they have a similar meaning with the first one 61 I’m sure he didn’t it by himself He 62 It is believed that the man escaped in a stolen car The man 63 If you changed your mind, you’ll be welcome to join our club Were you 64 A small church lies at the foot of the hill At the foot 65 She dances beautifully, and she sings sweetly, too Not only 66 Timmy has become confident as a result of his success Timmy’s success has turned 67 “Don’t forget to phone the police,” she said She reminded him 68 We don’t have to so many things to please him It is 69 I haven't seen my uncle for a long time It's a long time 70 He can’t afford to go to America this summer He doesn’t VIII PHONETICS Choose the word that has a different stress pattern from the others in the group 71 A responsibility B originality C mischievousness D accommodation 72 A appliance B conscientious C confidential D independent 73 A punishment B publicity C efficient D appointment 74 A stimulate B maximize C register D interrupt 75 A environmental B psychology C impossible D photography IX VERB TENSE Put the verb in brackets into the correct tense 76 The town (choose) for the next Olympic was the one nobody had expected 77 Thanks to doctor John, I’m still alive!
