following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 01 to 08 KEEP AN EYE ON THE KIDS Something new is happening in this Cornish town And as the saying goes, new is not necessarily better - especially if you are a Cornish teenager under 16 years of age Through the use of a pioneering plan, which to some reeks of prejudice, the local authorities and police officials hope to cut dơwn the number of youths out on the streets at night It is thought that by doing this, many of the crimes committed by young people will be prevented The scheme involves a curfew - a set time when youths must be off the streets and in the warmth and safety of their own homes For any unsupervised youngsters under sixteen, the bell tolls at nine o'clock sharp And for all those under ten, the watching hour is spot on eight The curfew is being enforced by patrols of police officers in the Redruth area In order to collect any damning evidence that might come to hand, many of the police are equipped with Orwellian-like head cameras If a hoodie-wearing young delinquent gets the not-so-bright idea of spray painting a wall or overturning a rubbish skip, an officer will more than likely be there filming it Of course, the film footage will then be used in a court of law as proof of the young hooligan's crime If a young person under sixteen is spotted breaking the specified curfew, officials may respond in several ways Firstly, the parents of the young offender will be contacted and told that they are failing in their duties as responsible parents and that they must ensure that their children abide by the curfew If that warning fails to bring results, police will call in the social services or housing offices Either of these two groups may then take formal legal action against the family which could result in parents having to receive counselling or guidance sessions In the past, curfews have done what they were supposed to do, which is get the lads off the streets Dispersal zones were set up under what is known as the Anti-Social Behaviour Act of 2003 This piece of legislation dictates that groups (groups being defined as two or more individuals) may be asked to move on if their attitude or mode of behaviour has or may have caused anybody alarm, fear or distress Human rights activists, however, would like to know just who it is that decides what actually constitutes 'alarm, fear or distress' After all, people differ, and what may alarm one person may leave another totally unaffected This could lead to innocent young people out enjoying the long summer evenings being picked on for no good reason Not surprisingly, then, it seems that the new programme, aptly code-named Operation Goodnight, has set off a furious debate Local councillors welcome the scheme, saying that, although the majority of parents in the area behave responsibly, that is not enough They say that all parents must be persuaded to be more informed about the whereabouts of their children at all times of the day and night They believe that only in this way will the community be a safer place for everyone On the other side of the coin, many locals feel that the teenagers are being robbed of a very important right Some residents argue that not all teenagers are the same and every effort should be made to remember this fact They feel that if youths are treated as if each and every one of them is a potential criminal, attitude problems will increase The Redruth legal officer complains that many of the police treat every young person as a suspect He says that while the police have every right to get involved if a real problem should arise, they must use better judgement before challenging young people simply because they are out for an evening stroll [From: STARLIGHT 11, Workbook, Virginia Evans, 2011] Question 1: According to the writer, the desired outcome of the plan is A an increased

the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 15 to 20 The ecosystems of the Earth provide an array of free (15) services that are essential for the support of civilizations They maintain the quality of the atmosphere, provide food from the sea, manufacture and replenish soils, (16) wastes and nutrients, control the overwhelming majority of crop pests and disease vectors, and so on People have no idea (17) to take over these activities satisfactorily They know, however, that the theory once advanced in the nineteenth century - that the productivity of the land can be infinitely (18) by the application of capital, labour, and science - is wrong History has shown that once the natural life-support systems of a civilization have been (19) damaged, they cannot usually be repaired The (20) deforestation and overgrazing of the Mediterranean region is a famous example And today, a global civilization is ruining the global environment Question 15:A

Two unusual waiters in Japan provide an example of this Restaurant owner Kaoru Otsuka originally kept his macaque monkeys, Yat-chan and Fuku-chan, as pets, but they have since become two much-loved and very useful members of staff Having observed their master at work in the restaurant for some years, the monkeys soon began copying his actions and doing simple tasks around the kitchen Then, taking into account how friendly they were with strangers, Kaoru decided to teach them how to serve to customers Today, Fuku-chan specialises in providing diners with hot towels before a meal - a Japanese custom - while Yat-chan is skilled at serving drinks Amazingly, Yat-chan even understands enough language to know what drinks customers want The monkeys receive soya beans from diners in return for their efforts, and work only two hours a day to comply with Japanese animal labour laws Some people, however, may think their little, waiter uniforms are a step too far Another hard-working animal is Jip, a sheepdog, who is the pet of cafe owner in England Many dogs like to fetch things for their master, but Jip takes this activity to a whole other level Whenever someone throws a dart on the cafe's dartboard, Jip jumps up to retrieve it with her teeth She leaps up around three times her own height to reach the darts, and her owner says the spectacle is bringing in more and more clients Due to her efforts, she's even become an honorary member of the cafe's darts team! [From: ON SCREEN B2+, Workbook, Virginia Evans] Question 25: Why did Kaoru Otsuka decide to train his monkeys to become waiters? A because they showed interest in doing other jobs in the restaurant B so that they would feel less shy with customers C because customers requested that they serve them D so that he could stop them from destroying the kitchen Question 26: What does the writer mention has been a consequence of Jip’s talent?

Two unusual waiters in Japan provide an example of this Restaurant owner Kaoru Otsuka originally kept his macaque monkeys, Yat-chan and Fuku-chan, as pets, but they have since become two much-loved and very useful members of staff Having observed their master at work in the restaurant for some years, the monkeys soon began copying his actions and doing simple tasks around the kitchen Then, taking into account how friendly they were with strangers, Kaoru decided to teach them how to serve to customers Today, Fuku-chan specialises in providing diners with hot towels before a meal - a Japanese custom - while Yat-chan is skilled at serving drinks Amazingly, Yat-chan even understands enough language to know what drinks customers want The monkeys receive soya beans from diners in return for their efforts, and work only two hours a day to comply with Japanese animal labour laws Some people, however, may think their little, waiter uniforms are a step too far Another hard-working animal is Jip, a sheepdog, who is the pet of cafe owner in England Many dogs like to fetch things for their master, but Jip takes this activity to a whole other level Whenever someone throws a dart on the cafe's dartboard, Jip jumps up to retrieve it with her teeth She leaps up around three times her own height to reach the darts, and her owner says the spectacle is bringing in more and more clients Due to her efforts, she's even become an honorary member of the cafe's darts team! [From: ON SCREEN B2+, Workbook, Virginia Evans] Question 29: According to the writer, why might some people disapprove of Kaoru Otsuka putting his monkeys to work? A because he doesn’t reward them for their work B because he dresses them in humiliating clothes C because he forces them to work more than the legal amount of hours D because any form of animal labour is illegal in Japan Question 30: The word “exploitative” is closest in meaning to A misemploying B resourceful C making full use D potential with threats Question 31: Why did Kaoru Otsuka decide to train his monkeys to become waiters? A so that he could stop them from destroying the kitchen B so that they would feel less shy with customers C because they showed interest in doing other jobs in the restaurant D because customers requested that they serve them Question 32: In the fourth line of the third paragraph, what does "it" refer to?

the sport club Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 37 to 44 KEEP AN EYE ON THE KIDS Something new is happening in this Cornish town And as the saying goes, new is not necessarily better - especially if you are a Cornish teenager under 16 years of age Through the use of a pioneering plan, which to some reeks of prejudice, the local authorities and police officials hope to cut dơwn the number of youths out on the streets at night It is thought that by doing this, many of the crimes committed by young people will be prevented The scheme involves a curfew - a set time when youths must be off the streets and in the warmth and safety of their own homes For any unsupervised youngsters under sixteen, the bell tolls at nine o'clock sharp And for all those under ten, the watching hour is spot on eight The curfew is being enforced by patrols of police officers in the Redruth area In order to collect any damning evidence that might come to hand, many of the police are equipped with Orwellian-like head cameras If a hoodie-wearing young delinquent gets the not-so-bright idea of spray painting a wall or overturning a rubbish skip, an officer will more than likely be there filming it Of course, the film footage will then be used in a court of law as proof of the young hooligan's crime If a young person under sixteen is spotted breaking the specified curfew, officials may respond in several ways Firstly, the parents of the young offender will be contacted and told that they are failing in their duties as responsible parents and that they must ensure that their children abide by the curfew If that warning fails to bring results, police will call in the social services or housing offices Either of these two groups may then take formal legal action against the family which could result in parents having to receive counselling or guidance sessions In the past, curfews have done what they were supposed to do, which is get the lads off the streets Dispersal zones were set up under what is known as the Anti-Social Behaviour Act of 2003 This piece of legislation dictates that groups (groups being defined as two or more individuals) may be asked to move on if their attitude or mode of behaviour has or may have caused anybody alarm, fear or distress Human rights activists, however, would like to know just who it is that decides what actually constitutes 'alarm, fear or distress' After all, people differ, and what may alarm one person may leave another totally unaffected This could lead to innocent young people out enjoying the long summer evenings being picked on for no good reason Not surprisingly, then, it seems that the new programme, aptly code-named Operation Goodnight, has set off a furious debate Local councillors welcome the scheme, saying that, although the majority of parents in the area behave responsibly, that is not enough They say that all parents must be persuaded to be more informed about the whereabouts of their children at all times of the day and night They believe that only in this way will the community be a safer place for everyone On the other side of the coin, many locals feel that the teenagers are being robbed of a very important right Some residents argue that not all teenagers are the same and every effort should be made to remember this fact They feel that if youths are treated as if each and every one of them is a potential criminal, attitude problems will increase The Redruth legal officer complains that many of the police treat every young person as a suspect He says that while the police have every right to get involved if a real problem should arise, they must use better judgement before challenging young people simply because they are out for an evening stroll [From: STARLIGHT 11, Workbook, Virginia Evans, 2011] Question 37: In the final paragraph, the writer expresses the concern that the scheme A may cause teenagers to be viewed wrongly B might result in teenagers being falsely accused of crimes C may increase crime rates, not reduce them D might take up too much police time Question 38: In regard to unacceptable activities on the part of teens, the writer mentions A a lack of respect shown towards officers B the destruction of public property C the clothes

result in unfairness Question 43: According to the writer, the desired outcome of the plan is A an increased presence on the streets at night B a reduction in criminal activity C a reduction in

KEEP AN EYE ON THE KIDS Something new is happening in this Cornish town And as the saying goes, new is not necessarily better - especially if you are a Cornish teenager under 16 years of age Through the use of a pioneering plan, which to some reeks of prejudice, the local authorities and police officials hope to cut dơwn the number of youths out on the streets at night It is thought that by doing this, many of the crimes committed by young people will be prevented The scheme involves a curfew - a set time when youths must be off the streets and in the warmth and safety of their own homes For any unsupervised youngsters under sixteen, the bell tolls at nine o'clock sharp And for all those under ten, the watching hour is spot on eight The curfew is being enforced by patrols of police officers in the Redruth area In order to collect any damning evidence that might come to hand, many of the police are equipped with Orwellian-like head cameras If a hoodie-wearing young delinquent gets the not-so-bright idea of spray painting a wall or overturning a rubbish skip, an officer will more than likely be there filming it Of course, the film footage will then be used in a court of law as proof of the young hooligan's crime If a young person under sixteen is spotted breaking the specified curfew, officials may respond in several ways Firstly, the parents of the young offender will be contacted and told that they are failing in their duties as responsible parents and that they must ensure that their children abide by the curfew If that warning fails to bring results, police will call in the social services or housing offices Either of these two groups may then take formal legal action against the family which could result in parents having to receive counselling or guidance sessions In the past, curfews have done what they were supposed to do, which is get the lads off the streets Dispersal zones were set up under what is known as the Anti-Social Behaviour Act of 2003 This piece of legislation dictates that groups (groups being defined as two or more individuals) may be asked to move on if their attitude or mode of behaviour has or may have caused anybody alarm, fear or distress Human rights activists, however, would like to know just who it is that decides what actually constitutes 'alarm, fear or distress' After all, people differ, and what may alarm one person may leave another totally unaffected This could lead to innocent young people out enjoying the long summer evenings being picked on for no good reason Not surprisingly, then, it seems that the new programme, aptly code-named Operation Goodnight, has set off a furious debate Local councillors welcome the scheme, saying that, although the majority of parents in the area behave responsibly, that is not enough They say that all parents must be persuaded to be more informed about the whereabouts of their children at all times of the day and night They believe that only in this way will the community be a safer place for everyone On the other side of the coin, many locals feel that the teenagers are being robbed of a very important right Some residents argue that not all teenagers are the same and every effort should be made to remember this fact They feel that if youths are treated as if each and every one of them is a potential criminal, attitude problems will increase The Redruth legal officer complains that many of the police treat every young person as a suspect He says that while the police have every right to get involved if a real problem should arise, they must use better judgement before challenging young people simply because they are out for an evening stroll [From: STARLIGHT 11, Workbook, Virginia Evans, 2011] Question 21: In regard to the Act of 2003,

answer to each of the questions from 29 to 34 Throughout history, animals have been used to perform tasks for humans, from ploughing fields to sniffing out illegal drugs Some people have moral objections to forcing animals to perform tasks that are not in their nature, seeing it as exploitative or even a form of slavery But what about when the animal itself volunteers its services? Two unusual waiters in Japan provide an example of this Restaurant owner Kaoru Otsuka originally kept his macaque monkeys, Yat-chan and Fuku-chan, as pets, but they have since become two much-loved and very useful members of staff Having observed their master at work in the restaurant for some years, the monkeys soon began copying his actions and doing simple tasks around the kitchen Then, taking into account how friendly they were with strangers, Kaoru decided to teach them how to serve to customers Today, Fuku-chan specialises in providing diners with hot towels before a meal - a Japanese custom - while Yat-chan is skilled at serving drinks Amazingly, Yat-chan even understands enough language to know what drinks customers want The monkeys receive soya beans from diners in return for their efforts, and work only two hours a day to comply with Japanese animal labour laws Some people, however, may think their little, waiter uniforms are a step too far Another hard-working animal is Jip, a sheepdog, who is the pet of cafe owner in England Many dogs like to fetch things for their master, but Jip takes this activity to a whole other level Whenever someone throws a dart on the cafe's dartboard, Jip jumps up to retrieve it with her teeth She leaps up around three times her own height to reach the darts, and her owner says the spectacle is bringing in more and more clients Due to her efforts, she's even become an honorary member of the cafe's darts team!
