Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the

SECTION D: READING COMPREHENSION

I. Read the following text and choose the best answer for the questions below.
Drunken driving, sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic.
Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible
250,000 over the past decade.
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.01 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine
or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho image
and judges were lenient in most court, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies,
especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New
Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 - 20-year-old drivers was more than double, so the state recently
upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational
programmes to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure
to drink.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities.
Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for
serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated” and later drove off the road, killing a
nine-year-old boy.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13
years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They

forget that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the

sentence from the list A-G (in the box) for each numbered blank. There are two parts of sentence you do not need to use.

WORLD ISSUES
Over the past thirty years or so, the methods used for collecting money from the public to aid the developing world
have changed out of all recognition, (1)______, and the increasing awareness among the population that something must be
done. At the beginning of this period, it would be common to put money in a collecting box, perhaps on the street or at
church, or to receive a small “flag” to wear in a lapel. The 1960s saw the development of shops (2)______, donated by the
public, and which also began to sell articles manufactured in the developing world in projects set up by the parents charity,
to guarantee a fair income to local people.
The next development was probably the charity event, (3)______ to run, cycle, swim, etc. and collected money from
friends and relatives according to how far or long they managed to keep going. The first hint of what was to become the
most successful means of raising money was charity record, where the artists donated their time and talent, and the process
from sales went to a good cause. This was perhaps a reflection of the fact that young people felt increasingly concerned
about the obvious differences between life in Europe and the United States, and that in most of Africa and Asia, (4)______,
besides being clearly shown on television. The problems were becoming hard to avoid, (5)______. Why was so little being
done? The huge success of Band Aid, and subsequent televised concerts, reflected the power of the media and of music in
particular, but also differed in style from other events. People phoned up in their thousands on the day and pledged money
by quoting their credit card numbers. After all, if you have enough money to buy CDs and a stereo player, you can afford
something for the world’s starving children.

A. with the money donated by the public
B. along with the gravity of the problems faced
C. in which participants were sponsored
D. which show second-hand goods
