Question 2. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question (10 points)
WARNING ON GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong Kong’s
food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea level rose. The
report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport reclamations.
Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by members of the
Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses the most recent projections on climate change to point to
a gloomy outlook for China.
By 2050 about 30 to 40 percent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it
supports, with tropical and subtropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions rising
in the west where currently the desert is temperate. Crop - growing areas will expand but any benefit is
expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as rice.
The growing reason also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland’s
breadbasket. The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt.
“China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there will be
decreased production because of water limitations,” Dr. Rik Leemans, one of the author of the report, said
during a brief visit to the territory yesterday. Famine could result because of the demands of feeding the
population - particularly if it grows - and the diminished productivity of the land. “It looks very difficult for
the world as a whole,” he said.
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which

release gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have increased this century by
about 0.6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100.
Dr. Leemans said China’s reliance on coal - fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well for the
world climate. “I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than the environmental
powers, and greenhouse gas emissions could accelerate,” Dr. Leemans said. “China is not taking the problem
seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what is going to happen.”
The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr. David Melville of
WWF - Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory. Food supplies, for
instance, could be affected by lower crop yields. “Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere but
you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in southern China will take place elsewhere
as well,” he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of
the oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land. Current projections
are that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimeters by 2100, depending on whether action is taken
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that, not
only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation - the
whole lot,” Mr. Melville said, adding that sea - walls would be needed. Depleted fresh water supplies would
be another problem because increased evaporation would reduce levels. Mr. Melville said the general
outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used water less wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to
reduce fuel - burning. He also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency.

A CASE OF MIND OVER MATTER
You’re lying on your mat. It’s the last ten minutes of your yoga class, meditation time. “Imagine
you’re a fluffy white cloud”, says the teacher. Your tummy rumbles–dinner soon, what to have? “The sky is
clear and blue…, Pasta? Chips? Chips : You’re passing over a lake…” God, that woman’s snoring. How can
I think with her making that noise.

They say that yoga was brought to the West like an aero-plane without the wings – exercise 1.
…………… In fact, it’s worse than that because in the East the sole purpose of yoga is as preparation for
seated meditation. Over here if you manage to find a form that includes meditation, such as hatha yoga, and
a teacher who is capable of leading you properly, you probably won’t be able to do it. You’ll get distracted
2. ……………….
I used to think my failure to meditate was about having an over-active brain that goes tick – tick – tick
from morning to night but apparently that’s just part of the Western psyche. “There’s something about our
minds,” says Nicola Temporal, 3. …………. especially adapted for Western brains. “We want instant
gratification and, if we don’t get it, we spiral off”
We’re conditioned to control rather than accept, to think rather than to feel and so the process of
letting go and experiencing the moment, which is central to meditation, is hard for us. But meditation is
particularly good for us.

At its simplest, meditation is about relaxation, 4. ……………., but it has deeper rewards as well.
Advocates talk about knowing themselves better, of being more in touch with there instincts and intuitions,
of being more at peace. Clear away some of the detritus and answers come more easily. “We live in our
heads, which means we live 5. ……………”, says Ms Temporal. “Meditation helps you access who you are,
what you really want and what your values are, and these things can help you live a more honest and more
satisfying life”
Fantastic, but how on earth do you do it? How do you even begin to switch your head off.
A. and so we find it difficult
B. by other people’s expectations
C. how we can master yoga
D. or fall asleep
E. without the spiritual dimension
F. which can be hard for us to understand
G. which provides endless health benefits
H. who teaches meditation

Question 5. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. (10 pts)
A.
Besides the earth’s oceans, glacier ice is the largest source of water on earth. A glacier is a massive
stream or sheet of ice that moves underneath itself under the influence of gravity. Some glaciers travel down
mountains or valleys, while others spread across a large expanse of land. Heavily glaciated regions such as
Greenland and Antarctica are called continental glaciers. These two ice sheets encompass more than 95%
of the earth’s glacial ice. The Greenland ice sheet is almost 10,000 feet thick in some areas, and the
weight of this glacier is so heavy that much of the region has been depressed below sea level. Smaller
glaciers that occur at higher elevations are called alpine or valley glaciers. Another way of classifying
glaciers is in terms of their internal temperature. In temperate glaciers, the ice within the glacier is near
its melting point. Polar glaciers, in contrast, always maintain temperatures far below melting.
B.
The majority of the earth’s glaciers are located near the poles, though glaciers exist on all continents,

including Africa and Oceania. The reason glaciers are generally formed in high alpine regions is that they
require cold temperature throughout the year, in these areas where there is little opportunity for summer
ablation (loss of mass), snow changes to compacted firm and then crystallized ice. During periods in which
melting and evaporation exceed the amount of snowfall, glaciers will retreat rather than progress. While
glaciers rely heavily on snowfall, other climatic conditions including freezing rain, avalanches and wind,
contribute to their growth. One year of below average precipitation can stunt the growth of a glacier
tremendously. With the rare 7 exception of surging glaciers, a common glacier flows about 10 inches per day
7
in the summer and 5 inches per day in the winter. The fastest glacial surge on record occurred in 1953, when
the Kutiah Glacier in Pakistan grew more than 12 kilometers in three months.
C.
The weight and pressure of ice accumulation causes glacier movement. Glaciers move out from under
themselves, via plastic deformation and basal slippage. First, the internal flow of ice crystals begins to
spread outward and downward from the thickened snow pack also known as the zone of accumulation. Next,
the ice along the ground surface begins to slip in the same direction. Seasonal thawing at the base of the
glacier helps to facilitate this slippage. The middle of a glacier moves faster than the sides and bottom
because there is no rock to cause friction. The upper part of a glacier rides on the ice below. As a glacier
moves it carves out a U-shaped valley to a riverbed, but with much steeper walls and flatter bottom.
D.
Besides the extraordinary rivers of ice, glacial erosion creates other unique physical features in the
landscape such as horns, fjords, hanging valleys, and cirques. Most of these landforms do not
become visible until after glaciers have receded. Many are created by moraines, which occur at the
sides and front of a glacier. Moraines are formed when material is picked up along the way and deposited in
a new location. When many alpine glaciers occur on the same mountain, these moraines can create a horn.
The matter horn, in the Swiss Alps is one of the most famous horns. Fjords, which are very common in
Norway, are coastal valleys that fill with ocean water during a glacial retreat. Hanging valleys occur when
two or more glacial valleys intersect at varying elevations. It is common for waterfalls to connect the
higher and lower hanging valleys, such as in Yosemite National Park. A cirque is a large bowl-
shaped valley that forms at the front of a glacier. Cirques often have a lip on their down slope that is deep
enough to hold small lakes when the ice melts away.

E.
Glacier movement and shape shifting typically occur over hundreds of years. While presently about
10% of the earth land is covered with glaciers, it is believed that during the last Ice Age glaciers covered
approximately 32% of the earth’s surface. In the past century, most glaciers have been retreating rather
flowing forward. It is unknown whether this glacial activity is due to human impact or natural causes,
but by studying glacier movement, and comparing climate and agricultural profiles over hundreds of
years, glaciologists can begin to understand environmental issues such as global warming.

TRANSCRIPT - ENGLISH 10
PART 1

You will hear part of a radio with David Barns, the director of a company that is building a new shopping
mall. Complete the notes.
Journalist: Mr. Barn, I wonder if I could start with some practical information. I know construction is set to
begin next month: when do you expect to finish, and what do you think the total cost of Whitesea Mall will
be?
David Barns: I'm going to stick my neck out and say we'll meet the original targets, which is to have the
mall open by July next year. As for the costs, well, again our estimate was twelve billion pounds, and I'm
pretty confident the final cost will not exceed that.
Journalist: Right And what are the investors getting for that sort of money? I mean, what's going to make
this place special? What will attract customers to the mall?
David Barns: Oh, lots of things! For a start, there's a new train station being built right next to the mall, so
people will be able to reach us from the city centre in under 20 minutes. The underground car park has room
for 3,000 vehicles, and we're just off the motorway, which will mean easy access for customers living up to
100kms from the mall. On top of that, we've put in a great deal of thought into how to make shopping easier
for families with small children. One excellent idea we have is to provide nurseries - three of them in fact -
so people can leave toddlers in completely safe hands while they do their shopping.
Journalist: I see And I understand you have the usual wide range of shopping facilities. But don't you
need other attractions to persuade people to come here?
David Barns: That's certainly true, and we've done a great deal to provide those other attractions. There's a
fairground in one corner of the mall, where qualified staff can supervise children while their parents are
doing their shopping in peace! For people who aren't actually shopping, we have seven cinemas showing a
good range of modern films, including the latest releases. We also came up with an idea for the older folk,
because lots of families these days have grandparents living with them. In one of the cinemas we have
classic films - from 40 to 50 years ago - twice a day, morning and afternoon.
Journalist: I read in your press statement that you're also trying to make the place "greener". Could you tell
me a bit about that?
David Barns: Sure. People have become very demanding and prefer malls that have an open, airy
atmosphere. So we have walkaways between the different buildings, with flowers lining the parts, giving the
impression that you're actually outdoors. And we're building a Nature Centre, where we'll have a permanent
exhibition about the ecology of the area. We're going to have models, photographs and displays to inform

people about the wildlife of the area.
Journalist: Right Well, thanks for talking to me, Mr. Barn.
David Barns: You're very welcome.

You will hear a conversation between a student and a job advisor. Listen carefully and answer questions 1
to 5
Agent: We'll fill in the personal details on this application form first, if that's OK?
Student: Yes, that's fine.
Agent: Now, what's your name again?
Student: Anita Newman - that's N-E-W-M-A-N.
Agent: And your address, Anita?
Student: I'm in one of the Halls of Residence for post-graduate students, you know, International House.
Agent: OK - that's easy. What's your room number there?
Student: Room B569 - no sorry B659. I always get that wrong. I haven't been living there very long.
Agent: Do you have any other skills? Typing, languages, that sort of thing?
Student: Well, I speak some Japanese.
Agent: Right, I'll make a note of that. Now - let's see what else is available. What do you think of
administrative work? There's a possible position for an Office Assistant at the English Language Center.
Student: That sounds interesting.
Agent: It's for 3 days a week - Monday, Friday and Saturday mornings. Interested?
Student: I was hoping to have Saturday free. But I need the work so can you tell me what the job involves?
Agent: Yes, sure. It says here that you'll be required to deal with student enquiries and answer the phone.
Student: I'm sure I can handle all that without a problem.
Agent: Great. Well, would you like me to arrange an interview for you? Say, Friday morning, around ten?
Student: Could we make it a bit later? Unfortunately, I've got something to do at ten. Would that be OK?
Agent: Not a problem. How about eleven thirty? Hope it works out for you Anita.
Student: Me too. And thanks for all your help.
PART 3:
You will hear a presentation given by a sport science student on her project on left and right – handedness

in sport. Now listen carefully and answer question 1 to 5
My topic is handedness - whether in different sports it is better to be left - or right-sided or whether a
more balanced approach is more successful. I'm left-handed myself and I actually didn't see any relevance to
my own life when I happened to start reading an article by a sports psychologist called Peter Matthews. He
spent the first part of the article talking about handedness in music instead of sport, which I have to say
almost put me off from reading further. But what I soon became struck by was the sheer volume of both
observation and investigation he had done in many different sports and I felt persuaded that what he had to
say would be of real interest. I think Matthew's findings will be beneficial, not so much in helping
sportspeople to work on their weaker side, but more that they can help them identify the most suitable
strategies to use in a given game. Although most trainers know how important handedness is, at present they
are rather reluctant to make use of the insights scientists like Matthew can give, which I think is rather short-
sighted because focusing on individual flexibility is only part of the story.
Anyway, back to the article.
Matthews found a German study which looked at what he called "mixed handedness", that is, the
capacity to use both left and right hands equally. It looked at mixed-handedness in 40 musicians on a variety
of instruments. Researchers examined a number of variables, e.g. type of instrument played, regularity of
practice undertaken and length of time playing instrument and found the following: keyboard players had
high levels of mixed - handedness, whereas string players like cellists and violinists strongly favoured one
hand. Also those who started younger were more mixed-handed.
Matthews also reports studies of handedness in apes. Apes get a large proportion of their food by "fishing"
ants from ant hills. The studies show that apes, like humans, show handedness - though for them right- and
left-handedness is about equal, whereas about 85% of humans are right-handed. Studies show that apes
consistently using the same hand fished out 30% more ants than those varying between the two.
