TEST 3

Read the passage below and choose the best answer
Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is
unnecessary for children to work at home in their free tine. Moreover, they argue that most
teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils
have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school, Recently in Greece many parents
said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain and
Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, Germany and several
countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends. In Holland. teachers allow
pupils to slay o school to do their homework. The children are free to help one another. Similar
arrangements also exist in some British schools.

same habitat. In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and
create a cascade of unintended consequences. The worst of these unintended consequences arise
when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on them, altering their
habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources. Although biological
introductions have affected environments the world over, the most destructive, effects have
occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and other nonnative
species have caused the grave endangerment or outright extinction of literally hundreds of
species during the past 500 years.
One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation. This word refers to the
utilization of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright
extinction. Among many examples of severe overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands
out in special relief. By the middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many
species of whales to incredibly low population sizes. In response to public pressure, in 1982 a
number of nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on whaling. As a
direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction's doorstep 25
years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the western Pacific. Others
remain at great risk. Many other species, however, continue to suffer high rates of exploitation
because of the trade in animal parts. Currently, the demand for animal parts is centered in several
parts of Asia where there. is a strong market for traditional medicines made from items like tiger
bone and rhino horn.

On 8 August 1967, five leaders - the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, the

Foreign Affairs building in Bangkok, Thailand and signed a document. By virtue of that
document, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was born. The five Foreign
Ministers who signed it have been considered as the founders of probably the most successful
intergovernmental organization in the developing world today. The document that they signed
would be known as the ASEAN Declaration.
It is a short, simply-worded document containing just five articles. It declares the
establishment of an Association for Regional Cooperation among the Countries of Southeast
Asia to be known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and spells out the

TEST 8
Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement.
In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced.
The National Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must
learn and when they have to take assessment tests.
Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of
Secondary Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for
GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they
must also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex Education, although
they do not take exams in these subjects.
At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually take A
(Advanced) levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National
Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels
with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.
Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History.
To go to university, pupils usually need two or three A levels.
AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level
German pupils take the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level
German Literature exam.
GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such
as Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at
advanced level) is equal to two A levels.

enormous length of time because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea
to make it more understandable. We can compare the planet Earth to a person of forty-six years
of age.
Nothing is known about the first seven years of this persons life. Very little information exists
about the middle period either. It was only at the age of forty-two that the Earth began to flower.
Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty-five.
Mammals only arrived eight months ago. In the middle of last week, man-like apes became ape-
like men and began to communicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the
Earth.
Modem man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man discovered
agriculture. The Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago.
During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he
has increased his numbers to terrible proportions and has caused the death of hundreds of species
of animals. He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a
violent, spoiled child, delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass
destruction and of killing all the life which exists in the solar system.
