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.

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the
police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.

The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously
empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will
wonder if it is worth the bother.

There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that
your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do
not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in
a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to
leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a
burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the
outside of your house.

But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target
your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy
access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed
you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it
is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window
locks to the inside of the window.

What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality
security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can
afford it as another line of defence against intruders.

A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in
if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly,
fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let
anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then
on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help.

11. A well-protected house …………

A. is less likely to be burgled. B. is regarded as a challenge by most criminals.

C. is a lot of bother to maintain. D. is very unlikely to be burgled.
12. According to the writer, we should …………

A. avoid leaving our house empty.

B. only go out when we have to.

C. always keep the curtains closed.

D. give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out.
13. The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot …………

A. is predictable. B. is useful.

C. is imaginative. D. is where you always find a spare key.

14. What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?

A. isolated B. populous C. dissatisfying D. depressing
15. The 'aforementioned precautions' refer to steps that …………

A. will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not.

B. are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe.

C. will stop a potential burglar.

D. will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home.
16. Gaining entry to a house through a small window …………

A. is surprisingly difficult.

B. is not as difficult as people think.

C. is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door.

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.

As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were reworked.
The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch settlers to New York in
the early 18th century. Traditionally, Santa Claus – from the Dutch Sinter Klaas – was depicted as a tall, dignified, 
religious figure riding a white horse through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he was usually

accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North America he eventually developed
into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas nor the strict

(5)<div class='page_container' data-page=5>

Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A Visit from Saint
Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The poem introduced many Americans
to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and drawings of Santa
Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the legend during the second half of the 19th
century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and delivered toys to all good
children. By the late 19th century he had become such a prominent figure of American folklore that in 1897, when
