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 30 to 34.

DRINKING AND DRIVING
The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of
blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this
limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, if you’ve just eaten and what

sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.
In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you’re below the
legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by
alcohol.
It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a
heavy drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next
morning, or you could even find that you’re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you’ve had a few
drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal
limit.
In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had the more certain they
were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts … and the less able they were
to do it!
So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.
Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road
accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are
the biggest cause of death among young men. More half of the people stopped by the police to take a
breathalyzer test have a blood alcohol concentrate of more than twice the legal limit.
It is important to remember that driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If
you’re involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might
kill or injure.
Question 30: The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching the legal limit is
___________.
A. exactly proportional to body weight.
B. 800 milligrams of pure alcohol
C. approximately three standard drinks
D. different for different people
Question 31: When might you be taken to court by the police for drinking and driving?
A. Only when tests show that you have 80mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood.
B. When you have driven a vehicle after drinking any alcohol at all.
C. When you have drunk at least three drinks before driving.

D. When the police think that you have been drinking from the way you are driving.
Question 32: When you have been drinking heavily in the evening, the next day you might be
_______.
A. unable to drive all day
B. still drunk until lunchtime
C. unable to drive until the evening
D. over the legal limit in the morning
Question 33: Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents in that ___.
A. one in three drivers drink heavily
B. most drivers who die in these accidents have been drinking
C. drinking affects people’s eyesight
D. more young men die in drink-related accidents than in any other way
Question 34: What does this article urge you to remember particularly about driving and drinking?
A. You are putting yourself in danger.
B. You may hurt another road-user.
C. You put many other people at risk.
D. You may be taken to court by the police.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to 35 to 42.

Have you ever thought about inventing something? Did you worry that your idea was too strange
or unrealistic? Well, maybe you should think again. Strange or unrealistic ideas never stopped Arthur
Pedrick. Pedrick was a British inventor. Originally a government clerk, he spent his retirement in the
1960s and 1970s developing new and unusual ideas. Some of these ideas contradicted basic physics,
but that didn’t stop Pedrick. One of his strangest ideas was a plan to connect large tubes from the
continent of Australia all the way to Antarctica, a distance of 10,000 km! These tubes would carry
giant ice balls from Antarctica to Australia. This ice would then melt in the Australian desert, and the
water would be used in irrigation. Another of Pedrick’s inventions was a radio-controlled golf ball. A

golfer could change the speed and direction of the golf ball by small flaps, controlled by computer
chips. Using radio waves, the golfer could also find lost golf balls. Arthur Pedrick had thousands of
bizarre ideas for inventions, most of which were never built.
Though many of Pedrick’s inventions were never developed, a lot of other strange ideas
were. In 1989, a company designed and sold a theft-prevention device for expensive cars. As part of
this device, several tubes were attached to the bottom of a car. If someone tried to steal the car, super
hot flames would come out of the tubes and burn the car thief. Some people who were not thieves,
however, were seriously injured. They accidentally set off the device by walking past the car. Other
strange inventions include underwear for dogs and pens with drinkable ink. The underwear keeps
dogs from making a mess when they go out for a walk. Also, if you are ever thirsty during a test, a
pen with drinkable ink would be very handy! If you have an idea that seems a little out in left field,
don’t let that stop you from trying it. You’ll be in good company.

A. Inventing something is easy.
B. Inventions are necessary for a good life.

Question 37: According to the passage, how was Pedrick’s plan to bring water to Australia probably
unrealistic?
A. Australia and Antarctica are too far away. B. Australia doesn’t need water.
C. Tubes are not strong enough.
D. The plan was too expensive.
Question 38: What was the problem with the theft prevention device?
A. Only bicycles could use it.
B. It was too big.

C. It hurt other people besides thieves.
