Questions 36 - 45. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best option
The Industrial Revolution in Britain was built on the use of machines in factories. Since the 1950s, Britain's
(36) industries have replaced machine operators with computers, and this (37) has led to a decline in the
number of (38) in many factories. Goods are bought and used much more than ever before but a lot of these
goods are imported. By the beginning of the 20th century, other industrial countries like the USA were
(39) with Britain's exports, and countries in the Far East have been able to provide cheaper (40) since the
1970s. Areas located with heavy industries are suffering high unemployment. During the last 30 years, there has
been a constant rise in smaller industries (41) as "light industries". These ones use electricity and are not
(42) on raw materials such as coal so they are "footloose", i.e. they can be located anywhere. They produce
such things as washing machines or spare (43) Some of these industries produce nothing at all, but provide
services like distribution. The consumer boom of the 1980s and the increased leisure time of most Britons have led
to rapid (44) in service industries like banking, tourism, retailing and information processing, and in
industries which distribute, maintain, and repair (45) consumer goods.

Questions 46 - 55. Read and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following
questions.
Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frames of an object, each slightly
different than the preceding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the
different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce
the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer-assisted animation,
because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.
In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequence of pictures.
These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that define the objects in the pictures as they exist in
mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly trained
professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism involves
computer techniques for three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.

High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color
terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single
frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.
A camera can be used to film directly from the computer's display screen, but for the highest quality images
possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computes the positions and colors for the figures in the
picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the images are
stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it is repeated for

the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the
animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected, recomputed,
redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time consuming. Often, computer-animation
companies first do motion tests with simple computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the
task of calculating the high-resolution, realistic-looking images.

50. According to the passage, the positions and colours of the figures in high-tech animation are determined
by
A. drawing several versions B. enlarging one frame at a lime
C. analyzing the sequence from different angles D. using computer calculations

Questions 56 - 65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to
each of the following questions.
The response of most animals when suddenly faced with a predator is to flee. Natural selection has acted in a
variety of ways in different species to enhance the efficacy of the behaviours, known as "flight behaviours" or
escape behaviours that are used by prey in fleeing predators. Perhaps the most direct adaptation is enhanced light
speed and agility.
Adaptations for speed, however, are likely to require sacrifices biter attributes, so we might expect only some
species to adopt a simple fast flight strategy.
Another way of enhancing the effectiveness of flight is to move in an erratic and unpredictable way. Many species,
like ptarmigans, snipes, and various antelopes and gazelles, flee from predators in a characteristic zigzag fashion.
Rapid unexpected changes in flight direction make it difficult for a predator to track prey.
In some species, like the European hare, erratic zigzag flight might be more effective in the presence of predators
that are faster than they are and straight light more effective against predators that are slower. One observation that
supports this suggestion is the recorded tendency for slow-flying black-beaded gulls, which are normally able to
3
escape predators by means of direct flight, to show frequent changes in flight direction when they spot a peregrine
falcon (peregrines are adept at capturing flying birds).
A quite different way of enhancing escape by flight is to use so-called "flash" behaviour. Here, the alarmed prey
flees for a short distance and then "freezes." Some predators are unexcited by immobile prey, and a startling flash
of activity followed by immobility may confuse them. "Flash" behaviour is used in particular by frogs and
orthopteran insects, which make conspicuous jumps and then sit immobile. In some species, "flash" behaviour is
enhanced by the display of bright body markings. Good examples of insects with colourful markings are the red
and yellow underwing moths. At rest, both species are a cryptic brown color. When they fly, however, brightly
coloured hind wings are exposed, which render the moths highly conspicuous. Similarly, some frogs and lizards
have brightly coloured patches or frills that may serve a 'flash" function when they move quickly. Some species

even appear to possess "flash" sounds. The loud buzzing and clicking noises made by some grasshoppers when
they jump may serve to emphasize the movement.
56. The word "enhance" is closest in meaning to
A. encourage B. resist C. increase D. reveal
57. The description of the prey's movement as "zigzag" suggests that the movement is
A. reliable B. fast C. constant D. unpredictable
58. It can be inferred from the passage that the European hare
A. is faster than most of its predators B. is capable of two kinds of flight
C. is more likely to escape using straight flight D. is preyed upon by gulls and falcons
59. The behaviour of black-beaded gulls is most comparable to that of
A. gazelles B. European hares C. peregrine falcons D. frogs
60. It can be inferred that black-beaded gulls change direction when they spot a peregrine falcon for which of the
following reasons?
A. The falcons are faster than the gulls. B. The gulls want to capture the falcons.
C. The falcons are unpredictable. D. The gulls depend on the falcons for protection.
61. The word "alarmed" is closest in meaning to
A. moving B. selected C. frightened D. exhausted
62. All of the followings are mentioned as characteristics of "flash" behaviour EXCEPT
A. brief conspicuous activity B. immobility C. bright body markings D. aggressive fighting
63. The phrase "in particular" is closest in meaning to
A. especially B. with difficulty C. expertly D. frequently
64. The hind wings of red and yellow underwing moths function in a way that is most similar to
A. the hind wings of peregrine falcons B. the zigzag flight of European hares
C. the colored patches on frogs D. the clicking of grasshoppers
65. Why does the author mention "grasshopper" in the last line?
A. To contrast animals that "flash" with animals that "freeze".
B. As an example of an animal whose "flash" behaviour is a sound.
C. To compare the jumping behaviour of insects and reptiles.
D. As an example of a predator that moths escape by using "flash" behavior.

E. READING COMPREHENSION
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
English has had a long tradition of borrowing words from other languages. This tradition began with the conquest
of Britain by the Norman-French in 1066. Because these conquerors established themselves as rulers, their dialect
of French became the language of the aristocracy, of government, and of education. During this period, many
French words came into the English language. Another strong influx of vocabulary came from Latin, which was the
language of the church Today, those words derived from French and Latin, though still identifiable, are not thought
of as foreign by English speakers. Tradition, language and conquest are words that come to us from this tradition.
The British colonial era, which began in the early 17
l
century, brought English speakers into contact with many

other languages. In North America, words from the Native American peoples quickly found their ways into the
language Examples include moccasin (a kind of soft shoe), squash (a vegetable)
The presence of Spanish colonies in North America led to the adoption of numerous Spanish words, such as siesta
(a nap) and tortilla (a flat thin pancake). Asian languages also make contributions. For example, the word pyjamas
comes from a Hindi word, khaki comes from Urdu, and ketchup was borrowed from Chinese. Words from African
languages, too, made their ways into English when African slaves served in the United States. The result of all of
this absorption of new words is a very rich vocabulary that allows users of English to express subtlety of meaning
through their choice of words.
61. Many French words came into the English language when
A French traders did business with the British. B the Norman-French conquered Britain.
C British people ruled France in early 17
th
century. D African slaves worked in Great Britain.
62. Tradition, languages and conquest are examples of
A borrowed words no longer considered foreign. B words borrowed from Latin.
C words used in this passage. D words no longer popular in English.
63. Words from the Native American peoples came into English
A when Native American peoples came to Britain.B during the British colonial era
C in the 18
lh
century. D before those from Latin.
64. Words such as squash, tortilla, ketchup were all borrowed from
A other languages. B Asian languages.
C the Native American peoples. D African languages.
65. Which of the following is correct?
A More Latin words came into the English language than French ones.
B English has borrowed many words from French and Latin, although these words are no longer foreign.
C Users of English like to express subtlety of meaning through words from French.
D Most words of clothing were borrowed from Asian languages.

more conversation classes than before. And for about half of these classes the students will be working in groups of
seven or eight. Courses on reading and writing will also be given. There's a completely new reading course, in fact,
which the students will find very interesting. Teachers will use current newspaper articles and other material. For
the first time this year, the school is running a computer course, too. The school will be also continuing the video
course, which was very popular last year. Benfield School has some new video equipment and the teachers know a
lot about video.
All this sounds like hard work! But there will be a lot of leisure activities too. The school has arranged for students
to use the sports center near the school in the afternoons and evenings, at greatly reduced prices. And it has planned
a lot of visits to places of interest. There will be some special surprises for the students as well. The school has
organized a group visit to a television studio, as a suitable end to the video course. Some students will be able to
take flying lessons at the airport. The school only takes between forty and fifty students at a time. Although it is a
small school, only a few of the students stay at the school itself, in one of two flats in the main building. Most of
the summer students will stay with families in the town.

Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
A thirteen-year-old does not spend as much money as his parents suspect - at least not (21) according to the
findings of recent survey, Money and Change. The survey (22) included three hundred teenagers, 13-17 years old
from (23) all over Britain.
By the time they (24) reach their teens, most children see their weekly allowance rise dramatically to an
amazing national average of $5.14. Two thirds think they get (25) enough money but most expect to have to do
something to get it.
Although they have more cash, worry about debt is (26) increasing among teenagers. Therefore, the
majority of children make an effort to save for the future.
Greater access to cash (27) among teenagers does not, however, mean that they are more irresponsible as a
result. The economic recession seems to have encouraged cautious attitudes to money, even in the case of children
at these ages. Instead of wasting what pocket (28) money they have on sweets or magazines, the teenagers who
took (29) part in the survey seem to respond to the situation by saving more than half (30) of their cash.

Read the passage and choose the best answer.
CHESS
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it
was played "long, long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan

to Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says in
English "check"; when the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says "check mate". These words
come from Persian. "Shah mat" means "the king is dead". That is the game is over and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For
example, at one time the queen could only more one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board.
It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds
of people. You don't have to be champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the
same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess
masters are able to play many people at the same tine. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said
that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

TEXT 1. According to airline industry statistics, almost 90 percent of airline accidents are survivable or
partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips.
Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask questions if you have
uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as tightly as possible. Of course,, you should
also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoff and landings you are advised to keep
your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit and count the

Text 2.
In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates, or animals with backbones,
of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted to underwater
living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had muscular tails so that
they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and they were endowed with gills for breathing
underwater.
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land. As
amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became completely free
of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers appeared;
these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely converted for land
dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these special adaptations,
19
mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high mountains, often far removed
from the sea.
