Camping holidays are always popular with students and young people - they are a cheap and easy way
to see the country. People often travel by train, by coach or on foot, so one thing is important to remember
before starting: You can only take with you what you can carry – usually in a rucksack on your back.
If you travel with a friend, of course some items can be shared – a tent, a gas stove, food. Other things
must be taken by each person – clothes, footwear, and a sleeping bag.
So you must be sure of how much you can carry. Most people find 10 kg about right. Much more than
that and you need another holiday when you get home! And remember, if the weather is wet, your rucksack is
heavier.
Many people who go camping for the first time take too much and then find they have forgotten the
essentials – a tin of beans is no good without a tin opener! But with practice and good advice you can have a
fantastic holiday.

In the last 100 years, technology has completely changed the way we live. At the touch of a button, we can
look up almost anything we need to know on the Internet. We have electricity, aero planes, television, and we
have ever been to the moon. So what sort of inventions will there be in the 21st century? Indeed, is there
anything important still left to invent?
It seems that there is. Scientists all over the world are looking into Nanotechnology with a great deal of

The environment will be improved because it will be possible to take the polluted air we breathe and make it
clean again. But perhaps the most exciting thought of all is that we won't have to wait a thousand years for Nan

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 21 to 24.
Ludwig Van Beethoven, one of the most popular classical composers of all time, is sometimes known as "the
Shakespeare of music". He was born in Bonne in 1770, and published his first work at the age of thirteen. Mozart
was his teacher for a short time, although they did not get on well together; Beethoven was a difficult student.
As a composer, Beethoven was a genius - but as a person, he was not very easy to like. He was a passionate
man who lost his temper very easily. He was also arrogant. The upper class of Vienna used to invite him to
parties, where he was often quite rude. He was once heard to say to a prince: "There will always be many
princes, but there is only one Beethoven".
Nevertheless, Beethoven composed some of the most beautiful symphonies the world has ever heard. How was
such an arrogant, bad-tempered man inspired to write such romantic music? Perhaps the answer lies in the
three letters that were found after his death. They were addressed to his "Immortal Beloved Woman". Nobody
knows who this woman was, but it appears that Beethoven was deeply in love with her for most of his adult life.


21. Which of the following adjectives does not represent Beethoven’s character?
A. arrogant.
B. bad-tempered.
C. likeable.
D. rude.
22. What can be inferred about Beethoven?
A. He was an obedient student.
B. Mozart gave him music lessons.
C. He was quite polite at the parties.
D. He published his work in his teens.
23. What did he probably mean by saying “There will always be many princes, but there is only one Beethoven” ?
A. He was a special and unique.
B. He was the only musician at the parties.

C. He was superior to princes.
D. There were many princes at the parties.
24. According to the passage, three letters ____________________ .
A. were written after his death.
B. were written to the woman he was deeply in love with
C. were sent to his beloved
D. inspired him to write romantic music

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 1 to 4.
Alfred Nobel was born on October 21, 1833 in Sweden. His important invention was dynamite - a
powerful explosive. This dynamite business made him a very rich man.
One day, Alfred Nobel read about his death in a newspaper. In fact, it was his brother’s death. The
reporter called him a salesman of death, “The dynamite king”. Nobel was very upset. He had invented dynamite


to save lives - lives that were lost because other explosives were dangerous to use. He hated violence and war.
And he did not like the world to think of him as a man of war.
He thought of the best way for people to use his fortune for years. Finally he knew what to do with his

I was born and have grown up in the country in a small village beside a beautiful river. My village is

tiled roofs.
On the right of the village flows quietly a clear and blue river. When I was young, I used to swim in the
river with my friends. How can I forget the wonderful time on this river fishing or rowing a boat with my boyhood
friends !
On the left of the village lies the village green where village meetings are often held by village officials .
On this ground covered with soft grass we used to fly kites on windy autumnal evenings . The majority of the
villagers live on agriculture. They get rich thanks to their fertile rice – fields and their diligence. Harvest time is
certainly the busiest and the merriest time of the year . During the harvest, the villagers often get up very early
in the morning. They cheerfully go to their rice-fields to harvest the bumper crop – the fruit of many months of
hard work.
My villagers are very friendly and helpful. They are willing to offer mutual help in any case and always
get on with one another harmoniously. My village is rather small indeed but I like it very much because I spent
my happiest childhood among the simple and hard- working villagers who always feel attached to their
native land .
