6 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Today, there are many exciting programmes on television and many people look forward to
watching them each week. About 150 years ago, however, there was no television, so what
did people do? In England, people bought magazines to read. These were less expensive
than books and many of Britain’s best writers wrote for them. The writers wrote a part of
the story each week.
Just like today’s television series, the stories usually ended at an exciting event, so that
people wanted to know what happened next. To find out, they had to buy the next week’s
magazine. Famous British writers such as Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy
and Robert Louis Stevenson all wrote first for magazines. Charles Dickens was perhaps
the most successful and when his stories came out, around 40,000 magazines were sold a
month.

I was interested to read the plans for your company to build a new hotel in Green
Park. You said that you have chosen this location because it is near the city centre.
Ia agree that this is a good reason.
However, the park is very popular with local families. If you built the hotel there, it

the best c for the hotel is next to the bus station. The d for
this is that there is a lot of space and it is also very near the city centre.
Although a new hotel is a good idea, we e forget that children in the area
need parks to play in and for exercise. We don’t want to lose our parks.
I hope that you agree with my ideas. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours,

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

In 1957, scientists said that nothing could live in the waters of the River Thames, which is
the river that runs through London. The river was polluted by the waste which came from
hundreds of homes. Waste from factories, some of which was full of poison, also ran into
the river. Things began to change in the 1990s and now the river is very clean. It is thought
that about 125 kinds of fish live in the river today. It is a place where many birds and animals
visit, including dolphins and even whales. Today the river faces a different problem. Although
there is not so much chemical waste in the water, there is more and more plastic which
people have dumped into the Thames. This can be very dangerous for animals, which often
eat the plastic because they think it is food.

C Reading Comprehension

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Today, most people who live in cities live in tower blocks. These are tall buildings which
contain many homes. It is believed that the first tower blocks were built in the ancient city
of Shibam in Yemen in the sixteenth century. The city’s houses and its 500 tower blocks
are made from mud bricks. Some of the tower blocks are over 30 metres high and have 11
floors. Each floor is a home for one family. The tower blocks were built in this way to protect
the city’s citizens, who felt safe higher above the ground.
Shibam has been a city for more than 2,000 years, although most of its houses were built
around 500 years ago. For this reason, people sometimes refer to Shibam as “the oldest
tower block city in the world”. It is definitely the earliest example of a town where the
architects built into the sky instead of on the ground. In fact, Shibam’s tower blocks are the
tallest mud brick buildings in the world and the first tower blocks in the Middle East.

1 What is special about the city of Shibam?

2 Why did the city’s citizens feel safer in the tower blocks?

3 What do you think are the disadvantages to living in one of the tower blocks in Shibam?

4 Do you think that there will be more or fewer tower blocks in the future? Why?

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

People have been playing sports in Egypt for thousands of years. There are ancient Egyptian
pictures that show people boxing, weight-lifting, swimming and doing athletics. They also
show boat races. There were team sports, too, and the players used balls that were made
from papyrus and leather. We also know about the sports from ancient texts. We know that
the rules which we use today have been followed since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians
had referees to check that the sports were played correctly and there were uniforms and
sports equipment for the competitors. Pharaohs and important people used to watch the
sports with many other spectators. Losers were congratulated for taking part and there were
awards and prizes for the winners. They were given something like today’s medals, with
different colours showing if they were first, second or third.

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Which job do you want to do when you leave school? 150 years ago, there were not many
choices. Some people took academic jobs such as becoming a lawyer or an accountant. Others
took jobs that needed vocational skills, such as being a farmer. Today, however, there are
hundreds of new kinds of jobs which we did not have just ten years ago. This is good news for
young people today, because there are many new and exciting jobs that they can do.
An example is computer programming for mobile phone companies. Mobile phones are
developing every year, and the phone companies need people to help to develop them
even more. Another new job is something called library science. This is knowing how to
understand information on the internet. This is very important for businesses which have a
lot of information about their customers, and want to know how to use it so they can sell
them things. So there are a lot of opportunities for work in the future, but they may not be
jobs that you have heard of before.

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

The Red Sea, which is between Asia and Africa, is one of the warmest seas in the world.
It is 2,333 kilometres long and up to 330 kilometres wide. At its deepest point, it is about
1,800 metres deep. The temperature of the water is between 21 degrees in the winter and
27 degrees in the summer. The south of the Red Sea is the home of many rare kinds of fish.
Twenty percent of the fish that live here have not been seen anywhere outside the Red Sea.
People often want to know where the name of the Red Sea comes from, but there is more
than one answer. People used to think that it was because the sun shining on the sea in
the morning and the evening made the water look red. However, today the most common
theory is that there are plants growing in the water which sometimes turn the normally blue-
green water to a red colour.

1 What is the most common theory for the Red Sea having this name?

2 What do you think the words up to mean?

Hi Nawal,
How are you? I wanted to tell you about a new sport that I have started playing. It is called
speed-ball. It’s a game that was invented by an Egyptian called Mohamed Lotfy in 1961. I’ve
been playing it at the sports club this month. I really like it! You can play it on your own, or
as a team sport with two or four players. I started playing it in a team of two people. The
game is a bit like tennis. You have to hit a ball with a racket, but the ball is attached to a
pole. If the other team returns the ball, you have to hit the ball again. If they do not return
it, you get a point. We’ve played six games and we’ve won five of them!
I have also been playing some games on my own. You have to hit the ball as often as you
can in one minute. After this, I feel absolutely exhausted!
Perhaps you would like to play with me one day.
Best wishes,
Nevine

C Reading Comprehension

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

The world is a big place, isn’t it? But how many people can live on it? It is believed that
before the second century CE, the population of the world was below 300 million. The
population grew slowly. It took 1,600 years before the population doubled to 600 million.
By the middle of the eighteenth century, it had become 800 million. Then, the population
started to grow more quickly. In the year 2000, the population was eight times the amount
it had been in 1750, at more than 7 billion. Today, it is about 7.5 billion.
What about the future? It is thought that the population will be growing even faster in the
next 100 years. Ten billion people may be living on our planet in the year 2100. However,
the population of some countries is decreasing. There will probably be enough space for
everybody, but your grandchildren will be living on an even busier planet than the one we
live on today.

1 How many people live in the world today?

2 When did the population of the world start to grow more quickly?
3 Why do you think that the population will be growing faster in the future?

4 Do you think that there will be enough space for everybody in the future? Why/Why not?

5 What do you think the word doubled means?

a got smaller b became two times as big
c became three times as big d stayed the same
6 The main idea of the text is that the world’s population will continue to grow,
a but some countries will decrease. b and there will be 10 billion people.
c but it grew slowly in the past. d but the world will be different than today.

6 Answer only THREE (3) of the following critical thinking questions:

1 How do you think climate change will affect food production?

2 What do you think will happen if the world becomes much warmer?

3 Do you think that Ahab in Moby Dick was right to want to kill Moby Dick? Why/Why not?

4 Why do you think that the crew of the Pequod wanted to help Ahab?

5 Do you think that more of our food should be genetically modified? Why/Why not?

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

In our school project next week, we’ll be looking at healthy food. I’ve already started to
research information about something called a superfood. A superfood is a kind of food
which the labels say is very good for you, for example, some fruit, vegetables and some
kinds of fish. It is believed that if you eat a superfood, it can stop you getting serious
illnesses such as heart disease. Labels on some superfoods say that they will make you feel
fitter, stop you ageing and even make you more intelligent.
However, scientists realised that a lot of this information was not true. They also found that
some people ate more unhealthy food if they ate a superfood too. They thought that they
would not become ill because the superfood would help them. Scientists say that you should
only call something a superfood if you can prove that it improves your health. They say that
it is best if you eat lots of healthy food from the different food groups. You shouldn’t rely on
superfoods to stay healthy, should you?

1 Are superfoods always good for you?

2 What diseases might some superfoods stop you from getting?

3 Do you think that some food can make you more intelligent? Why/Why not?

4 Why do you think that scientists think you shouldn’t call something a superfood unless
you can prove it improves your health?

5 What does the word ageing mean?

a becoming ill b arguing c becoming older d hurting
6 What is the main idea of this text?
a We should eat only superfoods.
b Labels are not always true.
c We should eat different types of healthy food.
d Superfoods can make us healthier.

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Mark Zuckerberg, who started the social networking site Facebook while he was a student,
was born in 1984 in New York. Mark first became interested in computers at the age of
twelve. Then he invented a communication program called Zucknet. His father, who was a
dentist, used this at work. The Zuckerberg family also used it to send messages to each other
at home. Mark and his friends invented some computer games, too.
At school, Mark was a very intelligent student and excelled in sports, English and other
subjects, but he was always most interested in computers. In his spare time, he continued to
invent new programs, including music programs. When Mark went to Harvard University, he
started working on a system which he later developed into Facebook. If he hadn’t developed
this social networking site, about two hundred and fifty million users would not be sharing
information on Facebook each day.

5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

London has a big problem with traffic. During the day, most cars and buses can only travel at
about 12 kilometres an hour. Driving around London today is about as fast as using a horse
and carriage 100 years ago. However, there are actually fewer cars on the roads now than
ten years ago. Since 2003, people have had to pay to drive their cars into London between
seven in the morning and six in the afternoon from Monday to Friday. This has persuaded
many people to stop taking their cars into the city. So why is there still a problem with
traffic? Experts say that it is because London’s roads are very old, so they always need to be
repaired. In 2016, there were more than 8,000 roadworks around the city: that is the main
reason why London’s traffic is so slow!
