Part 2: Read the passage below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D
(5points)
“Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most
educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities.
However, the regimentation resulting from grades still exists. Grades often stifle creativity. Competing
for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and
sports. Grades impose an arbitrary standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some
extremists do, that grades be abolished immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis

should be placed on grades. I hope that some day grades will become optional at Village High
School.”

4. Which of the following is NOT an opinion expressed by Magdalena Smith?
A. Grades should be abolished.
B. Grades impose arbitrary standards of success.
C. Students should be able to learn without worrying about grades.

TRAFFIC IN OUR CITIES
The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes
many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents.
Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to ........(1)........ people to change their habits

One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars
by........(2)........ charges of parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who ........(3)........ the

passengers then use a special bus service for the ........(8)........ stage of their journey.
Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get

Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions. (5 poínts)
Meetíngs can waste a great deal of time. But you can make your meeting run more
smoothly by following a few simple rules. First, have an agenda. This will help keep you focused
on what is important. Next, decide who needs to be involved. More people means less efficient
discussion. Finally, keep the discussion moving. Thank each speaker as he or she finishes and
move on to the next speaker. This encourages people to make their remarks short. And don’t
forget: what happens after a meeting is more important than what happens during the meeting.
The skills used then are more professional and less procedural. So no matter how well you run a
meeting, it is the work that gets done after the meeting that is important.

ADVENTURE IN PERU
0 I’ve just been to see a film is called Touching the Void. It’s
00 about two climbers who decided to go climbing in the mountains
1 in Peru. It took them two days to reach the mountain they

2 had been decided to climb because it was in such a remote place.
3 They left a companion and the most of their supplies at a base camp,
4 optimistically thinking about they would be back in a couple of
5 days. After a difficult climb, they reached at the top of
6 the mountain. It was then that everything started to go wrong.
7 Because of one climber had broken his leg, he had to be
8 lowered down the mountain by means of a rope. His leg it was so
9 much painful that he couldn’t stand on it. After a very exciting bit
10 of the film, which I won’t describe, he found by himself alone
11 at the bottom of a crevasse. He managed to climb out and eventually
12 crawl to safety. The cold was so intense that he got frostbite in his hands,
13 but he was carried on, dragging himself down a glacier and across rocks.
14 When he arrived at the base camp, his friends were too amazed to see him.
15 They couldn’t believe that in despite his broken leg, he had managed to
reach the camp.
