II. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing one answer A, B, C or
D only.
Long-haul flights have just got longer, with a non-stop flight from Singapore to New York now

in operation. But 18 hours in the air creates its own challenges. A lot of preparation goes into the
ultra long-haul flight. The air craft is specifically designed for the journey with more space and
extensive entertainment services. The flight crews are also specially trained.
The seasoned traveler is also more aware of the health risks associated with a flight that covers
as much as 16.600 km (10.310 miles) in distance. Exposure to lower oxygen levels for up to 18,
maybe 20, hours is abnormal for the human body. With deep vein thrombosis (DVT) the
problem really starts occurring after 12 hours (in-flight). This could lead to an increase in heart
attack.
Doctors believe that prevention is better than cure when it comes to in-flight health. Passengers
on ultra long-range flights need to be provided with flight socks and, if necessary, tablets for
thinning the blood. It is not just the health and vitality of the passenger that is at stake on a flight
of this length, but also that of the flight crew. “They give us training on fatigue management and
how to adjust to the local time in New York and to exercise, as well as take care of our diet and
eat lightly in-flight,” says Linda Wu, a stewardess on Singapore Airlines.
However, passengers are trading in health concerns for convenience. An extra-long flight means
passengers do not need to break up their journey and change planes. “They like to board once,
de-plane once. It is saving time,” says James Williams from Singapore Airlines. “From Los
Angeles to Singapore, passengers are saving two and a half hours. And to New York passengers
are saving up to four hours in flying time.”
Thai Airways is also launching a non-stop service to New York from Bangkok next June to
compete with Singapore Airlines. It is planning a similar service to Chicago, Cathay Pacific,
Continental, Qantas and Emirates Airlines also offer flights that are more than 14 hours in
duration. However, there is still a question of whether longer non-stop flight will become
popular.
“They will certainly have a role in the future of aviation, there is no doubt about it. People will
prefer to fly non-stop if it is available,” says Chris Johnson, an airline analyst. “But we are
reaching the limits. These markets are at the very margin of aviation. Most airlines still fly in the
eight to 12-hour sector. This is still where the biggest volume in traffic is.”
Avery believes that geography will determine the demand for the ultra long-haul flight and that
worldwide appeal for this type of flight is unlikely. “Asia is where the demand is for the ultra

long-haul flight. They are connecting Asian cities to the U.S. East Coast, which is the big
market,” he explains. “The routes that connect most places that European business travelers go
do not need a capacity and endurance to fly 18 hours – this is the same for U.S. carriers.”
1. Why are longer flights potentially harmful to passengers and crew?
A. Because there isn’t as much oxygen in the air.
B. People will get bored more easily.
C. Long periods of inactivity will damage their bones.
2. What are flight socks?
A. Special socks to keep the plane free of harmful bacteria
B. One of the preventive measures planned by airlines
C. Socks that stop your blood getting too thin
3
3. Which of the following methods of countering the health problems caused by long flight is
NOT mentioned?
A. How best to cope with jet lag
B. Advice on food consumption during a flight
C. Advice on drinking alcohol
4. What are the advantages of longer flights?
A. There are less problems with jet lag.
B. Passengers save time.
C. Passengers get a good break between flights.
5. Where is the market for longer flights expected to develop?
A. Between Europe and America
B. Between Asia and America
C. Between Asia and Europe
6. What is closest in meaning to “long-haul flight”?
A. A flight that is non-stop
B. A flight that lasts longer than 12 hours
C. A flight that covers a significant distance
7. What opinion on the perspective of extra-long flights does the author most likely support?

A. A great demand for extra-long flights will be developed.
B. Geographical factor will affect the need for extra-long flights.
C. Extra-long flights will lose its attraction very soon.
III. You are going to read an article about ice skating. Choose the most suitable heading
from the list A-I for each part (1-8) of the article. There is one extra heading which you do
not need to use.
A Preparing yourself
B The benefits of the sport
C When things go wrong
D Different skating techniques
E A change in approach
F The right attitude
G Moving off
H Holding your body correctly
I How it all started
1. ______________
Ice skating has a history of thousands of years. Archaeologists have discovered skates made
from animal bone. It seems that bone skates were used until the introduction of iron into
Scandinavia about the year 200 AD. Among the Scandinavian upper classes, skating was seen as
an essential skill.
2. ______________
In the early twentieth century, skating was stylish and reserved, but at the 1924 Winter
Olympics, 11-year-old Sonja Henie introduced a more athletics attitude which inspired a new
wave of popularity. Nowadays art and athletics are combined and modern skating is both
graceful and physically demanding.
3. ________________
For the beginner, balance and control are all important and speed can only increase with
proficiency. The position of your body plays a great part in balance. Legs slightly bowed and the
knees bent keep the body weight centred; in effect the body leans slightly forward in this
position. For skating, probably more than any other sport or recreation, relaxation is vital.

4. ________________
For the starting position, the heels should almost be touching and the feet should be turned
outwards. While pushing toward with the back foot, you make a very small movement with the
4
other foot. Fairly easy, isn’t it? If you can keep this up for a while, you can then slowly increase
the length of your movements as you gain experience.
5. ________________
Knowing how to fall must be learnt among the skater’s first skills. Even the best of the
professionals fall. In order to fall without injury, you should be as relaxed as possible. In this
way the shock of hitting the ice is lessened. To get up, use your hands to get into a kneeling
position, then stand.
6. _______________
Once you have learnt to move on the ice with confidence, there are various styles to be
practiced – figure skating, free style, distance, speed, skating in pairs, and so on – but the basis of
them all, and by far the best approach, is first to learn figure skating and then elementary
freestyle. With proper guidance available at most of the ice rinks, the basic figures can soon be
learnt and the turns, jumps, and spins of elementary free style will soon follow.
7. _______________
If you look at any good or professional skater, you will see how relaxed they are and how
easily they move. To achieve this, an exercise programme should be regularly practiced. It can
be dangerous to skate with a stiff body and warm up exercises should at least include those for
the legs, back and shoulders, with special emphasis on the ankles and the knees. After a long or
intense session, the same exercises should be used afterwards to avoid stiffness.
8. _______________
Skating improves balance, co-ordination, relaxation and movement. It improves heart
and lung activity and generally strengthens the body. Combined with swimming or jogging, it
provides a great programme for all-round health and fitness.
IV. Read the passage and fill in each gap with ONE suitable word.
Students frequently complain (1) ………… studying for hours on (2) ……… … and
then not doing well in their final exams. Many factors can (3) …………. in poor performances:

(4) ………… illness or a personal problem. Getting high grades can also put a terrible strain on
students (5) ……… don't want to let their parents down.
Can students' knowledge be judged by a (6) ………. exam? Certainly not! If we want to
be fair, students ought to be (7) ………… on a regular basic. So does that mean more exams?
Yes, but (8) ………. many written ones. In many countries, students do not have to take written
exams (9) ………… they don't want to, they are (10) ………………… to take oral ones instead.
This seems to be a fairer way of assessing understanding, not just testing it.
D. WRITING
I. Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it is as similar as possible in
meaning to the original sentence. Use the word given and other words as necessary. Do not
change the form of the given word.
1. June was sure there was no mistake in her homework. (NOTHING)

3. I advise you to think carefully before accepting William's offer. (BETTER)
………………………………………………………………………………………
4. Apparently, Sheila wasn't listening to me. (APPEAR)
………………………………………………………………………………………
5. Margaret was offered a place on the course but couldn't accept because she was ill. (TURN)
………………………………………………………………………………………
II. Write a composition of around 250 words in order to answer the following question:
It is very important that children should study hard at school. Time spent studying on the
Internet is time wasted. Do you agree or disagree? State the reasons for your answer.

Things started to go wrongly as soon as we got to the hotel. We were all completely exhausting

room was not ready, which was very annoyed, although the manager was extremely
apologising. While we were waiting, we asked about the excursions to places of an interest
which we have read about in the brochure. Imagine how we felt when we were told they had all

been cancelled! Apparently, the person responsible of organizing them had left suddenly and had
not been replaced. Then Sally saw a notice pinning to the door of the restaurant, said it was
closed for redecoration, and Peter discovered that the swimming pool was empty. When we
eventually got to our room we were horrified to find that it was at the back of the hotel, and we
had a view of a car park, that seemed to be used as a rubbish dump. We seriously began to
wonder whether or not to stay.

VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question.

Bill Jarvis took over our village news agency at time of life when most of us only want to
relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news agency was
ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but then Bill was a chap who only
wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and
all his life had done everything by the clock.
Every day he opened his shop at six a.m to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his
door-step before that. Many of Bill's customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient
for the station. Business was tailing off by ten o'clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It
was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely
Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometres
away. Some time in the afternoon, the evening papers landed on the door-mat, and at four o'clock
Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.
He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in very bad weather, you always knew
where to find him in the afternoons, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home
along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past
four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He
had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.
"What's wrong, Bill?" I called out from the path. For answer, he put a hand inside his
jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it
suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and
called back: "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right." He stood up then and began to wind in
his line. I had never known anyone carry a brass alarm clock round with him or her before.
