SECTION A – LISTENING

Part 1: You will hear part of a talk about continuing after graduation. For questions 1-15, fill in each 
blank with one missing word.

So you have 1………from university and decided to continue studying towards a Master’s
or PhD. At some stage during the next few years you will need to consider your thesis. One of the greatest
2……….faced by postgraduate students is choosing a topic to base their dissertation on.
Writing a thesis can be very daunting, but the task is much more straightforward if the topic you select
is3……….. for you. So, what can you do to solve this problem?

Well there are several things to keep in mind. Firstly you need to do your 4………so that you
are very familiar with all the current literature. On top of this, you also need to be sure that you have a
broad5……… of your area of specialisation. If you do this, it will help you with the next
6………..point in choosing a good subject for your research, which is to ascertain what is relevant in
your research area. This will be crucial in helping you to 7………..your choices down. From the very
beginning, it really is vital to set clear 8………..and to have a very fixed plan in terms of the scope of
your research.

It can be even more helpful to 9………existing research and ask yourself if there are any
controversies. Perhaps there is a 10…………..that you may want to challenge and this could be the focus of
your study. A further and very important factor to take into account is your own 11………..resources.
If these are limited then you need to avoid choosing a study that will involve costly equipment or surveys.

However, if this is the case, you needn’t despair or 12………….your ideas altogether, instead make
enquiries into funding from external agencies such as your local government. You may even find that local
industries are willing to support your research by 13………. a grant. It’s 14……….worth
looking around to see just what is possible. And finally, be sure to make good use of your15……….,
especially when it comes to making sure that your findings are accurate.

healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a supposing dislike. At meal time, it is a good
idea to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping other than give him as
much as he is likely to at all once. Do not talk too much to the child during the meal time, but let him
get over with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will
soon learn to swallow his food so that he can hurry back to his toys. Under no circumstances must a
child be coaxed and forced eating.

Part 3: 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

Rent control is the system whereby the local government tells building owners how much they can
charge their tenants in rent. In the United States, rent controls date back to at least World War II.

In 1943 the federal government imposed rent controls to help solve the problem of housing shortages
during wartime. The federal program ended after the war, but in some locations, including New York City,
controls continued. Under New York's controls, a landlord generally cannot raise rents on apartments as long
as the tenants continue to renew their leases. In places such as Santa Monica, California, rent controls are
more recent. They were spurred by the inflation of the 1970's, which, combined with California's rapid
population growth, pushed housing prices, as well as rents, to record levels. In 1979 Santa Monica's
municipal government ordered landlords to rollback their rents to the levels charged in 1978. Future rents
could only go up by two-thirds as much as any increase in the overall price level.

In any housing market, rental prices perform three functions: (1) promoting the efficient
maintenance of existing housing and stimulating the construction of new housing, (2) allocating existing
scarce housing among competing claimants, and (3) rationing use of existing housing by potential renters.

One result of rent control is a decrease in the construction of new rental units. Rent controls
have artificially depressed the most important long-term determinant of profitability - rents. Consider some
examples. In a recent year in Dallas, Texas, with a 16 percent rental vacancy rate but no rent control laws,
11,000 new housing units were built. In the same year, in San Francisco, California, only 2,000 units were

built. The major difference? San Francisco has only a 1.6 percent vacancy rate but stringent rent control laws.
In New York City, except for government-subsidized construction, the only rental units being built are luxury
units, which are exempt from controls. In Santa Monica, California, new apartments are not being
constructed. New office rental space and commercial developments are, however. They are exempt from rent
controls.

31. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The construction of apartments in the United States.
B. Causes and effects of rent control

C. The fluctuations of rental prices

D. The shortage of affordable housing in the United States.
32. The word "They" in line 8 refers to

A. rent controls B. their leases C. the tenants D. places

33. Which of the following was NOT a reason for the introduction of rent controls in Santa Monica,
California?

</div>
(6)<div class='page_container' data-page=6>

C. Economic conditions during wartime D. Record-high housing prices
34. The phrase "roll back" in lines 11-12 is closest in meaning to

A. credit B. measure C. vary D.reduce

35. The word "stimulating" in line 15 is closest in meaning to

A. experimenting withB. identifying C. estimating D.encouraging
36. It can be inferred that the purpose of rent control is to

A. protect tenants B. promote construction.
C increase vacancy rates D. decrease sales of rental units
37. The word "depressed" in line 19 is closest in meaning to

A. saddened B. created C.lowered D. defeated
38. The information in the last paragraph supports which of the following statements?

A. San Francisco has eliminated its rent control laws.

B. Rent control leads to a reduction in the construction of housing units
C. Luxury apartments are rarely built when there is rent control

D. There is a growing need for government-subsidized housing.

39. According to the passage, which of the following cities does NOT currently have rent controls?
A. Santa Monica B. Dallas C. San Francisco D. New York City
40. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT exempt from rent control?

A. Luxury apartments B. Commercial development

C. Moderately priced apartments D. Office space

Part 4: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 51 to 60

WILD CAMPING

Camping in the wild rather than at organized campsites is a great way of getting away from 
it all and getting back to nature. Four experienced wild campers tell us why.

A Luise Gallivan

I’m turning my back on organized sites, particularly the supersized ones. Even at the relatively quiet sites you
can seldom escape the constant chattering of people in neighbouring tents, or worse still, the noise of
satellite-assisted televisions from camper vans. I go wild camping, which means I can set up my tent in a
field or on a mountainside without paying anyone for the privilege. Lots of ‘mild campers’ (that’s what we
call the ones who use campsites) are waking up to the fact that wild camping gives you an eco-friendly break
and offers a great deal more in the way of adventure. Because it’s so different from ‘mild’ camping, though,
people need to ask themselves: ‘Do I really need this?’ before packing their stuff. Wild camping is the
ultimate budget holiday - once you’ve got to wherever you’re going, the only expense is feeding yourself.

B Thomas Parsons

Perhaps the main reason why many people shy away from wild camping is our modern-day culture of ‘risk
aversion’ – in other words, avoiding all activities that seem in any way dangerous, however unlikely it is that
anything would actually go wrong. In less paranoid times, wild camping was indeed very common, but
people nowadays want safe environments, especially when it comes to feeling at ease with what their kids are
doing, and organized campsites are the obvious answer. I’m not keen to suggest good places to go wild
camping, though because one of the joys of the activity comes from finding places nobody else knows about.
For the beginner, I’d advise places which aren’t too far from civilization in case anything does go wrong. I
learnt the hard way, weighing myself down with unnecessary home comforts and camping gadgets when
apart from the usual backpacker’s tent, warm sleeping-bag, spare clothes and food, all you really need is a
torch, lightweight cooking equipment, a map and a compass.

</div>
(7)<div class='page_container' data-page=7>

Camping was an integral part of my early years, and I’ve managed to pass on some of my enthusiasm to my
own children. In striving for little luxuries like hot showers, ‘mild’ campers miss out on the delights of wild
camping. There are very comfortable state-of-the-art tents available nowadays if you want a bit of comfort,
and they don’t cost that much. Once you’re hooked on wild camping, nothing else will do and you get not to
mind occasional problems with ants or wasps. The lack of fellow travelers makes me feel that the great
views and the starlit skies have been laid on expressly for my own personal equipment. But camping in wild
places also means having to observe a few basic rules. For instance, during a particular dry season, it’s best to
avoid high fire-risk areas. I’ll always remember a time when I was camping with friends and we noticed that
somebody had failed to extinguish a small fire completely. We managed to put it out, but it could have been a
disaster.

For questions 41-50, choose from people (A-C). The people may be chosen more than once.
A. Luis Gallivan B. Thomas Parsons C. Jenny Martinez

Which person

41. compares attitudes to wild camping now and in the past? 41.___________
42-43. mentions the inexpensive nature of wild camping? 42.____ 43_____
44.is unwilling to recommend areas suitable for wild camping? 44.____________

48. says more people are beginning to see the attraction of wild camping? 48.___________
49. describes a dangerous situation which could have been avoided? 49.___________
50.gives reasons for disliking organized campsites? 50.___________

Part 5: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 51 to 60
Hot Days, Hot Nights

51. Paragraph A

Here is what global warming could do in a few years: in Dallas, a doubled level of carbon dioxide would
increase the number of days a year with temperatures above 100 degrees from nineteen to seventy-eight. On
sixty-eight days, as opposed to the current four, the temperature wouldn’t fall below 80 degrees at night. One
hundred and sixty-two days a year, the temperature would top 90 degrees.

52. Paragraph B

Although most scientists agree that increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will
inevitably lead to global warming, no one is certain how fast and how much temperatures will rise and what
the effects will be in any geographical areas. This gives policymakers an excuse for delaying action. Some
experts predict that within two centuries glaciers in the North and South Poles will melt, ocean levels will
rise, and much of what is now the coast of the United States will be under water. They also predict great
droughts and hurricanes, as a result of climate changes.

53. Paragraph C

Other scientists think the changes will be much more gradual, even beneficial. After all, Canada would not
complain if the productive corn-growing lands — now located in the U.S. Midwest - were shifted north
across the border.

54. Paragraph D

While many nations could end up with milder climates, the change — perhaps 100 times faster than at any
time in human history - could be so drastic that many of the benefits would be lost. There could be crowds of
environmental refugees, as well, making the tragedy of the Dust Bowl era seem mild in comparison.

55. Paragraph E

</div>
(8)<div class='page_container' data-page=8>

56. Paragraph F

Another strategy is to burn as much methane as possible. This adds CO2 to the air, but since methane traps
twenty times as much heat as CO2 the net result is worthwhile. The gas in many garbage landfills is already
being used in a number of places around the United States. It is being used to heat thousands of homes.

For questions 51-56, choose the most suitable heading for each paragraph A-F from the list of 
headings below. Write the appropriate numbers (I-VIII). Please note that there are more headings 
than you can use.

I Possible problems due to global warming
II Warmer summer in Dallas

III Help from methane
IV One important step

V Disagreement about temperatures
VI Warmer and warmer in some places
VII But possible benefits too

VIII Problems bigger than benefits

Your answers:

51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56.

For questions 57-60, Read the passage again and write:

YES if the statement agrees with the writer;

NO if the statement does not agree with the writer;
NOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage.

0. The number of days in Dallas with temperatures above 100 degrees would

increase. ______YES__

57. Currently in Dallas, there are only four days when the temperature falls below
80 degrees at night

____________

58. Some scientists are sure how fast the temperature will rise due to global
warming.

____________

59. Policymakers are not at all interested in taking any action to solve the
environmental problem.

____________

60. Some scientists think that the climate changes may even bring benefits. ____________
