Following a Dream
A. Harry
Just north of Fregate I met two manta rays. They were seven or eight feet wide with massive
out-stretched fin that seemed like rubberized wings. The water was murky, rich with plankton
that attracted the giant rays that filtered it through their wide mouths. They treated me with
caution, maintaining a constant distance if I turned towards them, but were content to let me
swim on a parallel course, as if I too was feeding on the plankton. For a few minutes we were
companions, until, circling and shifting shape against the depths, they became faint black
shadows in the gloom and were gone. The deep blue of the Indian Ocean has captured my
heart and drawn me back again and again to these pure shores. On Praslin there were dolphins
off-shore and a pair of octopus, sliding across the coral as they flashed signals to one another
with changing skin tones as remarkable as – but much faster – than any chameleon. At
Conception, close to Mahe, giant rocks formed an underwater cathedral beckoning me into its
vaults where moray ells gaped at me, the strange visitor to their liquid world.
B. Gabriel
And so my first real trip to Asia unfolded in what seemed a series of dream-panels-adventures
and faces and events so far removed from my day-to-day experience that I could not convert
them into any tongue I knew. I revisited them again and again, sleepless in my memories and
notes and photographs, once home. Almost every day of the three-week trip was so vivid that,
upon returning, I gave a friend a nine-hour account of every moment. The motorbike ride
through Sukhothai; the first long lazy evening in an expat’s teak house in Sunkumvhit; the
light into the otherworldly charm of Rangoon and the Strand Hotel, and the pulse of warm
activity around the Sule Pagoda at night-fall long hot days in the silence. 5000 temples on
every side; slow trip at dawn along Inle lake, seeing a bird-faced boat being led through the
quiet water; a frenzied morning backs in Bangkok, writing an article while monsoon rains
pounded on the windows all around me.

C. Maya
As I stepped off the six-seater Cessna plane after a bumpy flight over the Okavango Delta and
my feel touched the arid ground I knew this was what I’d been waiting for all my life – Africa.
Our first day was at the Selinda Camp in one of the driest parts of the Delta and when we
arrived I thought that nothing could possibly survive under the relentless sun. I was almost
immediately proved wrong as Selinda is near a small lagoon – home to a group of hippos. At
night we could hear their bark like call. Our guides warned us that although hippos may seem
harmless, if threatened they could easily kill a man! We went on to stay in various other camps
that were situated in different habitants. Jacana Camp was surrounded entirely by water and
only accessible by boat. But my favorite place was the Kalahari Desert. Our final camp was
located just on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, which are home to many rare species
of animal, such as the brown hyena.

D. Tom
I’d been to New York three times in the past but not for long and I couldn’t remember much of
it. This time I only had four days but I was on my own and this seems like a better way to get
to know a city: less being sociable, more walking and visiting different places. Perfect I liked
New York even more than I expected and it’s right up there on my list of foreign cities where
I’d like to live. It’s fighting for the top spot with San Francisco, with the next position
occupied by Paris. I stayed at the Incentra Village House, which was lovely, reasonably priced,
really friendly, comfortable room. I’d stay there again. I did a lot of walking and could easily
have done a lot more. I rarely left Manhattan. One day I walked more than 12 miles, including
the length of Central Park and on down Fifth Avenue. Fifth Avenue was the least pleasant
place, it felt like London’s Oxford Street. I also walked along the High Line which is very
nicely done, although rather shorter than Paris’s Promenade Plantee.

Part 4. For questions 81-85, choose the correct heading for paragraphs A-E from the
list of headings below. Write the correct numbers (i-viii) in the corresponding
numbered boxes. (1 point)
GLACIERS
Paragraph 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 percent 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.
Paragraph В
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 temperatures 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 climactic 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 exception of surging glaciers, a common glacier flows about 10

Page 10/19


inches per day in the summer and 5 inches per day in the winter. The fastest glacial surge on
record occurred in 1953, when the Katia Glacier in Pakistan grew more than 12 kilometers in
three months.
Paragraph 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 similar to a riverbed, but with much steeper walls and a flatter bottom.
Paragraph 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 a glacier has 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 Matterhorn, 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 Vosemite 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.

Page 11/19


Paragraph E
Glacier movement and shape shifting typically occur over hundreds of years. While presently
about 10 percent of the earth’s land is covered with glaciers, it is believed that during the last
Ice Age glaciers covered approximately 32 percent of the earth’s surface. In the past century,
most glaciers have been retreating rather than 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.

Part 5. Question 86-95, read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions. (1 point)
Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of
course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs
of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the
skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in
hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are
much harder to detect.
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood.
They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to
decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints
between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less
efficiently, and even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old
people often have trouble in remembering recent events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead
from the heart. They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest
of body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It
may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There
are great differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in
the way they age. The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times
during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they
wear out.
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging-believe this wearing out of the body
is controlled by a built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock
works so that they can slow down the process. This could give man a longer life and a great

number of productive years.
86. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
