equator, its rotational speed spins it completely around in a little more than ten
hours. Saturn‟s atmosphere is much like that of Jupiter, except that the temperature
at the top of its cloud layer is at least 100 degrees F. lower. Saturn‟s theoretical

CORAL
The Great Barrier Reef stretches for 2000 kilometres along the Queenland
coast. It is not only the largest coral reef complex in the world but it is the biggest
construction of any kind made by living animals; nothing made by humans comes
close to being as large and extensive. Approximately 2500 separate reefs make up
the Great Barrier Reef; combined they would cover an area twice the size of
England.
The structures of Great Barrier Reef have been built by countless millions of
minute animals called “polyps”. Each of these minute, soft-bodied animals builds
an exceedingly small, cup-like home of corallite (lime) to live and to give it
support and protection. These limestone apartments are joined together in huge
clusters like blocks of flats – sometimes tall and pointed and sometimes low and
spreading.
To thrive, coral polyps need a constant environment of warm water that is
clear and shallow with enough movement to carry plankton, the even smaller
floating animal food, to the non-moving polyps.
The shallow continental shelf off the Queenland coast, particularly along the
outer edge, provides ideal conditions for the tiny coral animals.
1. The Great Barrier Reef is located
A. off the coast of New South Wales.
B. off the coast of Queenland.

the north-east coast of South America.
The current of the Gulf Stream has a temperature of about 280C and a speed of
about 8 kilometres an hour. It is about 80 kilometres wide at the Equator and 470
metres deep as it passes the tip of Florida. Just north of Florida it is joined by
another warm current, the North Equatorial Current. Both flow along the coast of
North America until they are diverted to the east by the shape of land and the
westerly winds that blow at latitudes around 400. When the combined current
reaches the British Isles it divided again, part going north-east through the British
Channel and part, the larger part going on to Norway. The warm waters of the Gulf
Stream finally peter out in the cold seas of the North Atlantic.
Not only are the coastal bays and inlets of Britain, France, Denmark and
Norway kept free of ice in winter, but also the westerly winds that blow over the
current are warmed by the Gulf Stream. They pock up and carry much more
moisture than they would otherwise and so the high rainfalls of Western Europe
depend in large part upon the presence of the Gulf Stream.

3. What effect does the Gulf Stream have upon the ports of Western Europe?
A. There is very little effect .

can eventually render mortal damage to internal organs and quite possibly prevent
you from breathing.
Adventurers planning to travel alone through know quicksand territory should
carry a strong pole, not so much to test the sand, but to assist you to get out if need
be, the trick is to try to flop backwards on the stick, then, once your rate of sinking
has stabilised, try to manoeuver the pole so that it is under your hips. Then slowly
try to free your legs fully. Once you achieve this you are as good as out. Carefully
roll across the top of the quick sand to the nearest solid ground.
Few animals can rescue themselves from quicksand. A dog might if someone is
there to encourage it to work towards a given point. A horse will manage too, but
quickly becomes exhausted without guidance. Cattle almost always panic and
drown in quicksand. The only way to get them out is by getting a rope around
their neck and pulling. However, once on dry land, don‟t be too surprised if they
attack you – they have no sense of gratitude.
1. The article explains that
A. it is quite possible for people to disappear completely in quicksand.
B. it is unlikely that a human will disappear beneath the surface of quicksand.

C. hydrostatic pressure can cause death by suppressing body function.
D. to avoid danger you must control your breathing.
3. From the article one can infer that they key to survive is to
A. call quickly for help.
B. try to get on top of a rope by flopping backwards on it.

B. found in saliva.
D. All of the preceding.

Reading test 9 (*)
Read through the following text and choose from the list A –F the best phrase
to fit each space. The exercise begins with an example (0)
THE ROOTS OF DISCIPLINE
Humour is strong and flexible. Tragedy is brittle. If we change all our
children‟s misdeeds into tragedy, (0)……F….. If all their mistakes are exposed
and judged, as before the High Court, they will swiftly feel themselves to be
victims of an unyielding system. Soon they feel that not only what they did was

sand dunes which can be 1,000 metres high.
3…………..
Yet despite their unique climate and strange landscape, deserts have
something in common with the rest of the Earth‟s environments. They are

10


threatened by global warming and the rise in the earth‟s temperatures. Scientists
predict that temperatures will have risen by up to 50C by 2100.
4…………..
The desert is a fascinating place but if it grows further, it will badly affect the
lives of those that live on its borders. It‟s essential that the world recognizes this
and that governments take action against the negative effects of global warming on
our natural world.
A. Another extreme aspect of the climate is strong winds. These are typical in
the Sahara Desert where winds can blow for days bringing huge amounts of
dust and sand with them.
B. One of the results of this increase in heat is desertification – the growth of
our deserts. Already, in the last 50 years, the Sahara Desert has grown to
cover an extra 650,000 square kilometres.
C. One of the reasons why survival in the desert is so hard is that the climate is
so extreme. There is very little rain and in some places, it doesn‟t rain for
years. For example, at one point there was no rain for forty years. In the
Atacama Desert in Chile.
D. People also imagine that the desert is simply covered in sand. In reality, sand
covers just 20 per cent of the world‟s deserts. The rest is areas of rocks and
stones and massive cliffs.
Reading test 11
1. Read the text quickly. Match the descriptions 1-4 to the inventions A-C.

However, it‟s been discovered that for the price of a cup of coffee, a life can be
saved. The LifeStraw, which costs just $3, is a device for purifying water. It is able
to turn dirty water into drinking water. The drinking straw was designed by the
Swiss-based company Vestergaard Fradsen. It uses seven types of filter to make
water clean enough to drink. It can prevent illnesses and it can also create safe
drinking water for victims of hurricanes, earthquakes or other disasters.
2. Read the text again and say which section A-C mentions.

Reading test 12
Reading the article about visiting the UK. Choose the most suitable heading
from the list A-I for each part (1-7) of the article. There is one extra heading
which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
A. Contrasts in capital
B. Places to avoid
C. Fascinating variety
D. A step in the right direction
E. Sensitive to social position
F. Shocking cost
G. Top cuisine

The guide does, however, mention one side of life in the capital that will be
familiar to both visitors and residents: the expense of doing virtually anything here
is as staggering as it was ten years ago. Indeed, several aspects of everyday life
here, such as the price of tube fares to startle the inspectors more than anything
else about the country.
4
Special mention is made of two cities that have emerged relatively recently
as vibrant, exciting locations for culture and entertainment, able to rival cities in
the south. Manchester and Glasgow are described as warm and energetic, definitely
places for the visitor to the UK to see.
5
There are, of course, some words of warming for the traveler to this island.
A number of famous tourist attraction are described as over-rated and over-priced,
with Buckingham palace prominent in the list of sights that the visitor could well
do without seeing, whatever the hype attached to them.
6
The guide makes the point of recommending specific areas of many cities
where ethnic diversity can be enjoyed and celebrated, with shops and restaurant
offering goods from all over the world. In many cases, these establishments are fun
by people who came to Britain as immigrants and have enriched the society with
aspects of their own highly interesting cultures.
7
The guide concludes its summary of Britain by mentioning the curious, oldfashioned class consciousness to be found there. Some English still judge each
other according to their place of birth, school, accent, family, name and family
wealthy, rather than their individual personality and skills. For a small percentage
of English people, class remains an important factor.

Reading a newspaper article in which people talk about things they collect.
For questions 1-10, choose from the people A-D. The people may be chosen
more than once.

produce it and the machines that receive it. I suppose a lot of it started with my
dad when I was young. He told me stories of his own childhood, sitting next to
the family radio listening to great music and thrilling tales. Somewhere along
the line I developed an interest in antique radios, particularly wooden-case
radios from the nineteen thirties and forties. In those early days, things like
radios had a beautiful sense of design. Look at today‟s stereo equipment-black
plastic boxes with a lot of buttons. They‟re just plain ugly.
B. My collection of rocks and fossils contains about 950 specimens. Most of them
were found by me or my family during trips to the mountains. It is not easy to
organise a large collection like this. It‟s impossible to remember everything. I
solved the problem by sticking a small numbered label to each item. A
computer database contains all the items. For each specimen it included its
name, the place and date when it was found, and a special code which tells me
which shelf the specimen on, so that I can find it quickly whenever I want.
C. My collection is composed of ordinary wooden pencils. Altogether I have three
thousand- almost all of them were bought new here in the UK, but some come
from the US, Europe, South Africa, Australia and even Russia. I am not very
focused – I buy pretty well every pencil that I see, including souvenir pencils –
and promotional pencils. As well as many, many new pencils, the Internet has
enabled me to get hold of a large number of old pencils – mainly by swaps. In
the US, it‟s also relatively common to find old pencils in street markets and the
like.
D. For some reason, I collect weird tissue box covers. So instead of having boring
tissue boxes like most people, mine are dressed up in all different kinds of
covers. I‟ve been collecting them since about 1997 or so. I bought some of
them from mail order catalogues, but I really started getting interested when I
realised how many weird covers there were for sale on the Internet. I saw one
that I like, then there was another – I couldn‟t stop myself buying, and it sort of

construction required shaping tongues and grooves, making wooden pegs, and
fitting all these neatly together.
It can be inferred that traditional English houses
A. required the tools and the training of a skilled carpenter
B. took as long as a year to complete
C. were sturdier and more durable than the houses built today
D. are no longer being built
Passage 3 (*)
About 750 million acres, or one-third of the land in the United States, is
covered with forests. All fifty states have forest lands. The forests provide trees for
building materials, paper, fuel, and a variety of other uses. They help clean the air,
protect water supplies, and make a home for wildlife. They are a major source of
recreational opportunities for people and are the basis of hundreds of thousands of
jobs.
It can be inferred from the paragraph that
A. forests in the United States have been replanted
B. Americans prefer houses built from wood
15


C. the number of jobs in forests is increasing
D. industrialized and urbanized states have forests
Passage 4 (*)
Vegetables, in the proper combinations, can provide all of the nutrients
necessary for human life. A mixture of whole grains and legumes, for instance,
contains protein, and the major vitamin and mineral groups can easily be
represented in an all-vegetable diet. What‟s more, a little culinary imagination can
make a vegetarian feast as varied and interesting as any meal based around meat.
Given these facts, it‟s certainly time that we outlaw the raising and slaughtering of
domestic livestock and turn to the wider cultivation of high nutrition crops.

C. Most drug addicts eventually become persistent offenders.
D. Persistent offenders and drug addicts do not omit crimes other than major
property crimes.
Passage 7 (*)
16


Marriage in some cultures has traditionally depended on a “dowry”. That means
that the bride must bring to her husband and his family a certain amount of goods.
Sometimes her parents provided her with the goods sometimes the prospective
bride made them herself with her spinning wheel and needle and in some places
the girls would work for wages with which they would buy the essentials which
would form her dowry. In some other cultures, marriage depends on a “brideprice”. This means the prospective husband gives goods to the bride‟s family.
On the basis of the above information which of the following must be true?
A. In bride-price culture, women have greater need to earn wage.
B. In dowry cultures the man is the life-long provider of the family.
C. In dowry cultures, women might have to wait longer before they are ready
for marriage.
D. In bride-price cultures, but not in dowry cultures, the woman is considered
the property of the man.
E. None of these.
Passage 8 (*)
In the late Middle Ages, England owed its wealth to its very successful wood
industry. The makers of wooden textiles included many women. Spinning wool
into yam was a major occupation of unmarried girls- thus the word “spinster”.
Girls would spin to make clothes for themselves and their relatives, for their future
martial home, or they would send the yam for money to feed themselves and their
family. There is reason to believe that the importance of these girls to textile
production explains the relatively late marriage age in England.
What might be the association between women‟s textile production and late

B. The idea that advertising induces bad eating habits in teenagers.
C. The idea that the school can control what young people eat at home after
school hours.
D. The idea that parents have raised their children to eat the wrong foods.
E. None of these.
Passage 11 (*)
The purchase of environmentally unfriendly products is caused by consumer
demand for such products, not simply the availability of such products.
On the basis of this statement, which of the following policies would the
speaker support?
A. Persuading the local supermarket to stock more environmentally unfriendly
detergent.
B. Banning all non-biogradable materials and products from the local stores.
C. Installing recycling bins for paper, glass and aluminum on her back veranda.
D. The introduction of a biodegradable bag as strong and useful as a plastic
bag.
E. None of these.
Passage 12 (*)
Teaching is supposed to be a professional activity requiring long and
complicated training as well as official certification. The act of teaching is looked
upon as a flow of knowledge from a higher source to an empty container. The
student‟s role is one of receiving information; the teacher‟s role is one of sending
it. There is a clear distinction assumed between one who is supposed to know (and
therefore not capable of being wrong) and another, usually younger person who is
supposed not to know. However, teaching need not be the province of a special
group of people nor need it be looked upon as a technical skill. Teaching can be
more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a supposed empty
head. If you have a certain skill you should be able to share it with someone. You
do not have to get certified to convey what you know to someone else or to help
them in their attempt to teach themselves. All of us, from the very youngest
