II. READING &LEXICO –GRAMMAR (12P)

Part 1: Read the passages carefully and then circle the best answer ( a,b,c or d )
 A.

Most large cities now have underground system, like the French ‘Metro’. When you
need to change trains, you usually ought to walk along bare, uninteresting corridors.
Sometimes, if you are lucky, there will be ‘buskers’ – people playing music in the hope of
earning a few pence. They will be very pleased if you throw a few coins into the hat they
have placed on the ground in front of them, but they will go on playing happily even if you
don’t. These buskers give us a moment of pleasure as we wait for our trains. It is a pity, then,
that the authorities are against busking, and do what they can to stop it. Buskers may be
breaking the law, but I think that most people are glad to have a little music to brighten their
busy lives.

Questions:

1. The writer of the passage wants to _____ ?
a. complain about the metro system
b. encourage people to use the metro

c. feel pity for buskers

d. say that busking is doing no harm

2. According to the writer, waiting for trains is most the time _____ .

a. boring b. exciting c. costing d. embarrassing
3. Buskers are those who _____ .

a. earn money selling train tickets
b. play music for fun

c. play music for a living
d. beg people for food

4. According to the passage, busking is _____ .
a. a kind of music

b. against the law
c. a kind of hobby

d. not what train passengers like

5. The word “bare” in line 2 is nearest in meaning to _____ .

a. crowded b. comfortable c. old d. empty

B.

One mystery about elephants that seems to have been solved is how elephants
communicate with each other. Humans have heard a whole variety of sounds coming from
elephants, but these sounds are not the only way that elephants communicate.

A new explanation about elephant communication is being proposed. Elephants vibrate
the air in their trunks and foreheads. The sound that is created during this vibration has an
extremely low pitch; the pitch, in fact, is so low that humans cannot hear it. However, it
seems that other elephants can and do hear and understand these rumblings.

Questions:

</div>

elephants?

B. Teacher – watch for the sign!
C. How the habit is broken
D. Our children are in danger
E. How affected children act
F. Parents on the lookout.
G. The type of child

H. The extent of the problem
1. …………..

Many of Britain’s children are becoming computer addicts, according to leading
education specialists. Such children then lose interest in anything else and become
withdrawn and introverted.

2. …………

Up to one in youngsters-over half a million- are affected. The problem usually starts
between the ages of nine and eleven and most often affects boys, who tend to get more
involved with machines than girl. They spend up to 40 hours a week tapping away.

3. ……..

</div>
(4)<div class='page_container' data-page=4>

often fail school tests and lose friends. But they do not care. The computer has become their
best- and sometimes their - only friend.

4. ………

Most children who have this kind of nervous complaint are not doing as well at school
as they could. Now teachers are being asked to look for the more obvious patterns of
behaviour. The National Union of Teacher has already warned its staff to identify pupils who
become restless and agitated.

5. ……..

Tony Miller, one of the teachers’ union spokesmen, says parents should limit the
amount of time their children spend at the machines. He adds: “Very young children take to
computers like fish to water. It seems to be like the problem of obsessive TV watching”. One
parent was woken at 5 am by a strange bleeping noise. She later discovered it was her addict
son at his computer.

6. ………..

Mrs Janis Norton claims a high success rate with her unique system which involves
teaching the parents as well as the child. It is a similar problem to gambling or drug
addiction. She says: “With the parents, we examine all the issues that come up in a child’s

day – food, bedtime, co-operation, homework, the tone of voice children use when talking to
their parents. We teach parents how to be in charge of the situation, how to be positive, firm
and consistent. We give the child extra lessons in whatever subjects they’re weak in. By
slowly getting the children off the machines, and replacing computers with other activities
and more confidence, the habit is broken”
