(9) (preposition) to them next time but unfortunately the damage has

(11) (modal verb, future) never quite be the same again.
On the other hand, we sometimes do (12) (very or too?) much for someone

own interests in doing so. When friends (14) ( auxiliary verb) involved we may find

true friendship should mean that we can say "no" without risk to relationship.
II. READING (35 points)
Part 1: Read the text about booking a flight and put the following sentences in the correct order.
There is one sentence that you don't need to use. Write the letters A, B, C, next to the numbers.
Number 1 has been done for you as an example.
When you want to book a flight to a certain place, visit your nearest travel agent. Tell the travel
agent the date when you want to travel and the destination to which you want to go. The travel agent will
then type the information into a small computer. After checking everything on the computer screen,
he/she will send the information to a central computer. The central computer contains all information
about bookings and destinations, and sends a reply, showing which are the most suitable flights. It also
shows whether the flights are fully booked or not. The information which is now shown on the small
computer screen is continually changing as other bookings are made in other parts of the world.
The travel agent now types in your booking, then the computer will ask for your name and address
as well as for certain other information. It will also ask how you will pay for your ticket (by cheque or by
credit card). Next the computer confirms the booking and makes a request for payment. When you have
paid for your ticket, the travel agent types the information into the computer as well. Finally, some
computers print out a ticket before you leave the travel agent’s.
A. Details about the flights and seats available are sent back.
B. The computer then wants information about the method of payment.
C. The tickets are issued either at that time or later.
D. The computer asks for personal details.
E. Make your request to the travel agent and give him/her all the details.
F. Your request is then checked and sent to the main computer.

8. results
9. opinions
10. wrong
11. studied Part 3: Fill in each numbered space with ONE suitable word
The world of dreams
Most people feel that when they dream, they (0) are carried off to another world.
(1) the contrary, dreams are often connected (2) our daily lives.
(3) our whole mind (4) filled with something, when we are either very
upset (5) when we are in good spirit, a dream will represent (6) reality in
symbols. It is often said that we benefit (7) dreams because they help the spirit to heal
itself. when things (8) wrong. Dreams are therefore (9) kind of escape,
almost a holiday from (10) life, with its fears and responsibilities . It is, (11) ,
a strange (12) of holiday because whether we have a wonderful time or whether it turns
(13) to be a nightmare, we quickly forget it. Most dreams disappear forever,
(14) you are one of those people disciplined enough to write (15) down as
soon as you wake up.
III. WRITING (30 points)
Part 1: Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence.
1. I won't be able to go on holiday if my parents don't give me the money.
Unless
2. Jeanne inherited all her uncle's money because she had looked after him all his life .

should not be there, write the word.
The stadium is only a few minutes away from where I live so I usually 0 
go to the matches on the foot. I put on my team's colours and set off with a 00 the
couple of friends from work. I always feel a sense of excitements as I turn 1
to the corner and the tall floodlights come into view at the top of the main 2
stand of the stadium. By the time we will get to the stadium, there are big 3
enough crowds, all heading in the same direction. As soon as we get 4
inside, the chanting begins and the suspense builds up. I have been to a lot 5
of games which were utterly boring: the weather was such cold and drizzly 6
and the game finished in a goal-less draw. After going games like that, some 7
fans expressed their disappointment through acts of violence but I just look ahead 8
to the next game. Violence on and off of the pitch is the biggest problem in 9
football, but the behaviour of some of the stars also gives the game a bad name. 10
If we take Maradona of Argentina: he was, as everyone knows it, a great 11
player but he got involved with drugs and was excluded from the 1994 World 12
Cup after he failing a drugs test. Another of the greatest players was the 13
Englishman George Best, but again the pressure of being a star was too great 14
for him. He turned up to drink and retired when he was only twenty-six. 15
