117. A. protecting B. protect C. protected D. protection
correct answer to each of the questions.
The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate
climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the
more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder,
not easier, for most people This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure
based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and
expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat
waves, coastal erosion, rising sea le more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that
sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The
ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other
environmental conditions are also favourable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change stated, "Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage
costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”
118. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Environment pollution is real. B. Reasons why low-lying areas are flooded.
C. Solutions to global warming. D. Reasons why global warming is a
problem.
119. Which of the following is TRUE as the result of global warming?
A. All people suffer from global warming. B. All people benefit from global warming.
C. Life is more difficult for the majority of people. D. Life is easier for most people.
120. In paragraph 1, the word “this” refers to ____.
A. harder life as a result of global warming B. easier life as a result of global warming
C. climate change on global scale D. flood in low-lying areas
121. In paragraph 2, the word “erratic” is closest in meaning to ____.
A. predictable B. unpredictable C. changeable D. unchangeable
122. According to the passage, all of the following are the results of global warming EXCEPT
____.
A. higher temperature B. coastal erosion
C. increasing sea level D. stable rainfall
123. What may happen to diseases and insect pests as a result of global warming?
A. They will become extinct. B. They will increase in number.
C. They will not harm our planet. D. They will be under good control.
The Amazon rainforest is home to more than a third of all the world's species of plants, birds and
animals. Twenty per cent of all the birds in the world live in the rainforest. Scientists have
discovered thousands of types of plants and animals that can only be found there. There are
thousands - probably millions more that we haven't discovered yet. There are at least 2.5 million
species of insects there. Imagine what would happen if they all lost their home? It couldn't
happen, could it? Unfortunately, it's happening right now. Yet, the rainforest is big. But it's
getting smaller. The problem is that people are cutting down the trees, mainly to make room for
cows. These provide meat and make money for their owners. This process of cutting down trees
is called ‘deforestation'.
The good news is that it is slowing down. In 2004, for example, more than 27,000 square
kilometres were cut down. That's an area bigger than Wales. In 2006, because of all the
campaigns to save rainforest, it dropped to just over 13,000 square kilometres. The bad news is
that it's not enough. Scientists predict that by 2030, the rainforest will have become smaller by
40%. It's possible that by the end of the 21st century, the rainforest will have completely
disappeared. With deforestation, thousands of the animals, birds, fish and plants that live in the
Amazon rainforest lose their home, their natural habitat. Some of them move to other areas, but
most of them die. Many species have already become extinct, and many more will if
deforestation continues. That will change the balance of life in the rainforest and could cause
enormous problems to the region's ecosystem.
There's another problem too. Trees and plants are a vital source of oxygen. If we cut them down,
we lose that oxygen. But it's worse than just that. With deforestation, the trees and plants are
burnt. This sends gases into the Earth's atmosphere, which stops some of the Earth's heat
escaping. That then leads to the temperature here on the ground going up. This increase in the
world's temperature is called 'global warming', and most scientists believe it's a very serious
issue. If they stopped deforestation, it might help prevent global warming.
124. Which title best summarises the main idea of the passage?
A. Chances for owners of cow ranches B. Threats to Amazon rainforest
C. Global warming effects D. Habitat destruction
125. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

B. 20% of all the animals in the world live in the rainforest.
C. Nearly two million species of insects are found in the Amazon rainforest.
D. Nearly half of the world's species of plants grow there.

A. chamber B. flat C. area D. studio
127. In paragraph 2, the word "it” refers to ____.
A. room B. process C. rainforest D. deforestation
128. According the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Amazon rainforest?
A. It has become smaller by 40%. B. The deforestation is decreasing.
C. 25% of animal species are extinct now. D. The deforestation is under control.
129. In paragraph 2, the word “enormous” is closest in meaning to ____.
A. serious B. important C. common D. insignificant
130. What might help to restrain global warming?
A. increasing deforestation B. stabilising deforestation
C. ceasing cutting down trees D. clearing more trees for farming

Part V. READING
One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational
training programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunity for on-the-job training and
work experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise
theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several
weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you
will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at a company. There you
get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example by learning to operate
machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it operates and find out if
you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you
have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you
will also have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognised
training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them will suit your interests
and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting one of the jobs and vocational
training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different times in the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme
are very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young
Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational training
programme.
106. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Employment Opportunities and Prospects in Germany
B. Higher Education System in Germany
C. Dual Vocational Training System in Germany
D. Combination of Theory and Practice in Studying in Germany
107. The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to ____.
A. company B. machinery C. knowledge D. organisation
108. Which of the following statements best describes the dual vocational training programmes?
A. These programmes consist of an intensive theoretical course of two and a half years at a
vocational school.
B. These programmes require you to have only practical working time at a certain company.
C. These programmes offer you some necessary technical skills to do your future job.
D. These programmes provide you with both theoretical knowledge and practical working
experience.
109. The word "hands-on” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. theoretical B. practical C. technical D. integral
110. How many German school leavers choose this vocational training programme?
A. well over 75% B. around one out of five
C. less than a third D. about 70%
Do you think education is better now than it was in your grandparents' time? Many older people
in the UK believe the opposite. “Schools were better in our day,” they complain. “There isn't
enough discipline these days. Kids don't work as hard as we did, either. The syllabus isn't as
challenging, so clever students aren't being stretched enough. They need to study things in
greater depth. Exams are much, much easier now as well.”
Were schools better years ago? Some British teenagers travelled back in time to a 1950s
boarding school. They got a big surprise! The first shock came when the teenagers met their new
teachers. Dressed in traditional black gowns, they look so frosty and uncaring! They were really
authoritarian, too, so anyone caught breaking the rules - talking in classes, mucking about in
the playground or playing truant – was in big trouble! Punishments included writing 'lines' or
staying after class to do detention. The naughtiest kids were expelled.
Things were just as bad after class. At meal times the students had to endure a diet of plain, no-
nonsense, healthy food. Homework was obligatory and it took ages! Copying essays off the
Internet wasn't an option, as personal computers didn't exist in the 1950s!
At the end of 'term' everyone sat 1950s-style exams. The old exams were much longer than their
twenty-first century equivalents and involved learning huge amounts of facts by heart. History
papers were all dates and battles. Maths papers were trickier, too; calculators weren't around in
the 1950s, so the students had to memorise multiplication tables and master long division. Our
candidates found this really difficult.
The exam results surprised a lot of people. Students predicted to do well in their real-life, twenty-
first century exams often got low grades in the 1950s exams. Does this prove modern exams are
too easy? Do twenty-first century kids rely too much on modern technology, like calculators and
computers?
The TV series of That 'll teach 'em! focused on a 1960s vocational school. UK school-kids study
a range of academic subjects these days. But in the 1960s, children judged to be less ‘able' went
to vocational schools. These helped them learn job skills. Boys studied subjects like metalwork,
woodwork or gardening. In some classes, they even learned how to milk goats! The girls'
timetables included secretarial skills. They also learned to cook, clean and sew - probably not
much fun for most girls.
111. What criticism is sometimes made about modern education in the first paragraph?
A. Teachers aren't strict enough.
B. The syllabus is out of date.
C. There's too much stress on exams.
D. The teaching methods are not good enough.
112. The word "authoritarian” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. inexperienced B. impolite C. unreasonable D. strict
113. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the food the students ate at school?
A. It wasn't cooked properly. B. It wasn't delicious.
C. It wasn't nutritious. D. There wasn't much of it.
114. The word "obligatory” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. compulsory B. difficult C. long D. complicated
115. According to the passage, how did exams in the 1950s differ from those in the twenty-first
century?
A They covered more subjects. B. It took students less time to do them.
C. There was more to remember. D. They were less difficult.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of
wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity,
certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The
thirteen-acre structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone.
Inside are a number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the
largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on
true north, south, east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun
worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on
astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting
lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past,
present, and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known
facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under
investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers, and this one is no
exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of the ancient past.
Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any
known today?
118. The word “intersecting” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. crossing B. aligning C. observing D. cutting
119. What do the intersecting lines in the base symbolise?
A. Architects' plans for the hidden passages.
B. Pathways of the great solar bodies.
C. Astrological computations.
D. Dates of important events taking place throughout time.
120. The word "prophesied” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. affiliated B. precipitated C. terminated D. foretold
121. Extraterrestrial beings are ____.
A. very strong workers B. astronomers in the ancient times
C. researchers in Egyptology D. living beings from other planets

A. Symbolism of the Great Pyramid
B. Problems with the Construction of the Great Pyramid
C. Wonders of the Great Pyramid of Giza
D. Exploration of the Burial Chamber of Cheops
MY 25,000 WONDERS OF THE WORLD
The coaches at the Uluru Sunset Viewing Area were parked three deep. Guides were putting up
tables and setting out wines and snacks. Ten minutes to go. Are we ready? Five minutes, folks.
Got your cameras? OK, here it comes ...
Whether an American backpacker or a wealthy traveller, Danish, British, French, we all saw that
sunset over Uluru, or Ayer Rock, in what seems to be the prescribed tourist manner: mouth
full of corn chips, glass full of Château Somewhere, and a loved one posing in a photo's
foreground, as the all-time No 1 Australian icon behind us glowed briefly red.
Back on the coach, our guide declared our sunset to be 'pretty good', although not the best she'd
witnessed in her six years. Behind me, Adam, a student from Manchester, reinserted his iPod
earphones: 'Well, that's enough of that rock.' Indeed. Shattered from getting up at five in order to
see Uluru at dawn, I felt empty and bored. What was the point? What made this rock the
definitive sunset rock event? Why had we come here? Well, I suppose my sons would remember
it always. Except they'd missed the magical moment while they checked out a rival tour group's
snack table, which had better crisps.
So now I've visited four of the “25 Wonders of the World", as decreed by Rough Guides. And I
think this will be the last. While in my heart I can see myself wondering enchanted through
China's Forbidden City, in my head I know I would be standing grumpily at the back of a group
listening to some Imperial Palace Tour Guide. At the Grand Canyon I would be getting angr with
tourists watching it through cameras – eyes are not good enough, since they lack a recording
facility.
As we become richer and consumer goods are more widely affordable, and satisfy us only briefly
before becoming obsolete, we turn to travel to provide us with 'experiences’. These will endure,
set us apart from stay-at-home people and maybe, fill our lives with happiness and meaning,
Books with helpful titles like 1,000 Places to See Before You Die are bestsellers. I'd bet many
backpacks on the Machu Picchu Inca Trail are filled with copies, with little tieks penciled in the
margins after each must-see sight has been visited. Travel is now the biggest industry on the
planet, bigger than armaments or pharmaceuticals. And yet viewing the main sight of any
destination is rarely the highlight of a trip. Mostly it sits there on your itinerary like a duty visit
to a dull relative. The guilt of not visiting the Sistine Chapel, because we preferred to stay in a
bar drinking limoncello, almost spoilt a weekend in Rome.
In Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef reproached us. How could we travel 15,000 miles
without seeing it? How would we explain back home that we were too lazy, and preferred to stay
playing a ball game in our hotel pool? In the end, we went to the reef and it was fine. But it won't
rank highly in the things I'll never forget about Australia. Like the fact that the banknotes are
made of waterproof plastic: how gloriously Australian is that? Even after a day's surfing, the $50
note you left in your surfing shorts is still OK to buy you beer! And the news item that during a
recent tsunami warning, the surfers at Bondi Beach refused to leave the sea: what, and miss the
ride of their lives? Or the stern warning at the hand luggage X-ray machine at Alice Springs
airport: "No jokes must be made whilst being processed by this facility' - to forestall, no doubt,
disrespectful Aussie comments: 'You won't find the bomb, mate. It's in my suitcase.’
The more I travel, the clearer it seems that the truth of a place is in the tiny details of everyday
life, not in its most glorious statues or scenery. Put down your camera, throw away your list, the
real wonders of the world number indefinitely more than 25.

A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However,
it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the
climate and the state of the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the
government decided to create a new capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to
investigate the possible locations of this new city. The advisor appointed to the commission was
Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report
suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi.
Both locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as
transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest.
Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital
was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the
area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national
park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and
would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional
centre with industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to
provide space for education, recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free
atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant public
buildings, and well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a superb example
of good urban planning.
118. Why was a commission founded in 1959?

LESSONS FROM CURITIBA
Urban planning deals with the physical, economic, and social development of cities. Today urban
populations are increasing rapidly, and growing cities are putting enormous pressure on the
environment. For this reason, the type of urban planning found in Curitiba, in southern Brazil, is
more important than ever.
Curitiba is a fine example of how urban planning can work. This has not always been the case,
however. At one time, Curitiba faced the same problems as many other cities all over the world,
namely overcrowding, pollution, and an increased demand for services, transport, and housing.
How, then, did Curitiba address these problems?
By the 1940s the population of Curitiba had grown to about 150,000 as immigrants from
countries such as Japan, Syria, and Lebanon came to work in agriculture and industry. These
people needed both housing and transportation. Curitiba's leaders realised that it was not sensible
to deal with these problems separately. Consequently, they employed a French planner and
architect, Alfred Agache, to find an overall solution.
Agache studied all aspects of the problem. He designed a scheme which gave priority to public
services such as sanitation and public transport. At the same time, the scheme included centres
which helped both community life and commerce to develop, and reduced traffic congestion.
This was the first scheme to address several problems of growing cities at the same time.
Unfortunately, some parts of his plan were not completed. The result, as described below, was
that his scheme only served Curitiba for another 20 years.
By the 1960s, the population of Curitiba had grown to about 430,000 inhabitants, so the city had
to rethink its needs. In order to do this, the mayor put together a team of architects and town
planners led by Jaime Lerner. This team produced the Curitiba Master Plan. This consisted of
taking Agache's original plan and adding wide, high-speed roads which crossed the smaller
streets. Their proposals also included plans to minimise urban growth, reduce city centre traffic,
and preserve the city's historic district. It is clear that the Curitiba Master Plan was one of the
first attempts to integrate all aspects of city planning.
This integrated approach to urban design was maintained throughout the 1980s as Curitiba's
population grew to almost one million inhabitants. Environmental facilities were added, such as
a recycling programme for household waste, and parks and 'green' spaces were protected from
development. However, good transportation remained central to the planning.
Good transportation still remains a priority, together with the needs for jobs. A growing
population needs employment, so business parks and centres have been added to encourage new
small businesses. All these changes will continue be the population of Curitiba increases, but its
city planners are continually searching for solutions to the problems.
123. What aspect of development does urban planning NOT deal with?
A. physical development B. technical development
C. economic development. D. social development
124. How many problems are mentioned in the passage as commonly shared by many cities?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
125. What was the main cause of the increase in Curitiba's population Delore the 1940s?
A. immigrants from rural areas B. workers in business park
C. immigrants from neighbouring countries D. immigrants from Japan, Syria, and
Lebanon
126. In what ways was Agache’s approach different?
A. His scheme gave priority to public services.
B. His scheme included centres which helped both community life and commerce to develop.
C. His scheme reduced traffic congestion.
D. His scheme addressed several problems at the same time.
127. What did the Curitiba Master Plan do?
A. added better road system B. reduced urban growth
C. prohibit city-centre traffic D. all of the above
128. What was new about the approach to the planning in the 1980s?

B. Environmental facilities were introduced.
C. Good transportation was the key.
