It gets me out of my studio, and into the countryside. But more importantly, racing along as fast as you can leaves you no time to worry about anything that’s going on in your life. You’re too busy concentrating on not crashing. The only things you pay attention to are the pain in your legs and the rocks on the path in front of you.I’m in my sixties now, but I started cycling when I was a kid. In the summer my friends and I would ride our bikes into the woods and see who was brave enough to go down steep hills, or do big jumps. The bikes we had then weren’t built for that, and often broke, so I used to draw pictures of bikes with big thick tyres that would be strong enough for what we were doing. They looked just like modern mountain bikes. However, it wasn’t until many years later that someone actually invented one. By the 1980s, they were everywhere.At that time I was into skateboarding. I did that for a decade until falling off on to hard surfaces started to hurt too much. Mountain biking seemed a fairly safe way to keep fit, so I took that up instead. I made a lot of friends, and got involved in racing, which gave me a reason to train hard. I wanted to find out just how fit and fast I could get, which turned out to be fairly quick. I even won a couple of local races.In the end I stopped racing, mainly because I knew what it could mean to my career if I had a bad crash. But I still like to do a three-hour mountain bike ride every week. And if I’m out cycling in the hills and see a rider ahead, I have to beat them to the top. As I go past I imagine how surprised they would be if they knew how old I am.611 Peter enjoys mountain biking becauseA it gives him the opportunity to enjoy the views.B he can use the time to plan his work.C he is able to stop thinking about his problems.D it helps him to concentrate better.12 What does Peter say about cycling during his childhood?A He is sorry he didn’t take more care of his bike.B His friends always had better quality bikes than he did.C His bike wasn’t suitable for the activities he was doing.D He was more interested in designing bikes than riding them.13 Peter says he returned to cycling after several yearsA because he had become unfit.B so that he could enter races.C in order to meet new people.D to replace an activity he had given up.14 How does Peter feel about cycling now?A He is proud that he is still so fast.B He is keen to do less now that he is older.C He regrets the fact that he can no longer compete.D He wishes more people were involved in the sport.15 What would be a good introduction to this article?AFor Peter Fuller, nothing mattersmore than mountain biking, noteven his career. Here, in his ownwords, he tells us why.BArtist Peter Fuller takes mountainbiking pretty seriously. Here hedescribes how it all began andwhat he gets out of it.CIn this article, Peter Fuller explainshow he became an artist only as aresult of his interest in mountainbiking.DAfter discovering mountain bikinglate in life, Peter Fuller gave up artfor a while to concentrate ongetting as good as possible.7Turnover►Part 4Questions 16 – 20Five sentences have been removed from the text below.For each question, choose the correct answer.There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.A new lifeI used to work as a college lecturer in the north of England, running photography courses. It wasn’t a bad job and I really liked my students, but I began to feel tired of doing the same thing every day.16I’d always loved travelling, so one weekend I typed ‘international volunteering’ into an internet search engine. At the top of the results page was the opportunity to go and stay on an island in the Indian Ocean, thousands of miles away, and help to protect the beaches and the sea life.17I had some diving experience, and the more I talked about it, the more I wanted to do it. So I contacted the organisation. One week later they offered to send me to the island and I accepted.18After all, the volunteer job was only for two months during the summer holidays. I thought after I’d finished, I’d come home.As soon as I got to the island, I was sure I’d done the right thing. My first dive was incredible.19 I felt so lucky to be able to experience that every day.In fact I loved it so much that I never came home! I’ve now been on the island for ten years and I have a permanent job. I’m working as a marine educator, teaching volunteers about the sea life and taking them snorkelling and diving. My desk is a picnic table 10 metres from the best beach on the island. Of course not everything about my new life is perfect.20However, I can’t imagine going back to my old life.8A That’s why I knew it was a terrible plan.B I had trained in icy water in the UK so the crystal clear warm water felt amazing.C They always ask lots of questions.D I work far harder than I used to.E I began joking to friends about sending in an application.F Afterwards, some people were surprised by my decision but I wasn’t too worried.G I decided I needed a break.H I needed to explain that first.►over 9TurnPart 5Questions 21 – 26For each question, choose the correct answer.The Coconut TreeThe coconut tree is thought to be one of the most valuable trees in the world.

To pass the time, they began talking to each other. At first, they talked about the weather and their work. Then Paul said, "Tell me—what would you most like to do if your doctor tell you that you have only three months to live?"The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke.“Well,” he said, “if I have only three months to live, I’ll take all my money out of th e bank and go to foreign countries for holidays with my best friend, Erik. I’d like to travel to the places in the world as many as possible. And I’ll stay at the best hotels and then eat the best food. I think I’ll have a wonderful time.”“That’s very inte resting,” Paul said. With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, “And what about you?”“I’ll tell you a secret,” Allan said. “I always want to be a racing driver. So if I have only three months to live, the first thing I’d like to do is to sell my house. With the money I’ll buy the fastest car in the world. Maybe I can enter all the big motor races.”Then he laughed, “I might even end up (以……而告终) world champion.”“Now it’s your turn,” Allan went on, “If your doctor tell you the bad news, what would you most like to do?”“Oh,” said Paul with a smile. “I’ll go and see another doctor.”1.

He was given the silver cup. “It isn’t rightly mine,” he said, when he was holding the cup.” “It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in…”“A family was staying at my hotel at that time. Mrs. Prig, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. ‘He’s only ten. ‘ she said, ‘I’ve been told that he plays quite well. ‘“Well, as you can guess, I wasn’t too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick —and so it was.“Isoon knew that David Prig was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall. The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board. “Call me when you are ready, Mr. Watson,” he said.When I was ready? I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister. I studied the board, and found I was driven into corner. So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten. Oh, so easily, by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner—in twenty-eight minutes.“David Prig, a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”6.

I just took the PET level 2 exam for the Cambridge English certification! It was super cool and I had so much fun. Let me tell you all about it!So, the exam had different parts like reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The reading part was all about reading short stories and answering questions about them. It was pretty easy because I love reading.Next up was the writing section where we had to write a short essay or a letter. I wrote about my favorite pet dog andhow much I love playing with him. It was so much fun to write about something I love!The listening part was a bit trickier because we had to listen to recordings and answer questions. But I practiced a lot so I could understand everything. It was like solving a mystery!Finally, we had the speaking test where we had to talk to the examiner about different topics. I talked about my hobbies and favorite foods. It was like having a conversation with a friend.Overall, the PET level 2 exam was a great experience and I feel so proud of myself for taking it. I can't wait to get my Cambridge English certificate and show it off to all my friends. Yay, I did it!篇3Well, hello everyone! Today I want to tell you all about my pet dog, Max.

全国英语等级考试PETS五阅读真题全国英语等级考试PETS五阅读真题要想学好知识,就必须大量反复地做题,以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的全国英语等级考试PETS五阅读真题，希望能给大家带来帮助!SECTION IIIReading Comprehension( 50 minutes)Part ARead the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, Cor D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1England's binge-drinking habit is one of the most entrenched in Europe --even Roman invad- ers wrote about it with horror. Many feared that the habit would worsen after the relaxation of licen- sing hours last November. Doctors, academics and newspapers were joined in opposition by the po- lice and judges, who warned that the reforms were "close to lunacy". The government disagreed and abolished a restrictive regime first imposed during the First World War by David Lloyd George, the prime minister, who wanted to prevent munitions workers from getting too drunk.While ministers never denied that Britons had an unhealthy attitude to liquor, they argued that much of the crime and disorder that blighted city streets at night was caused by hordes of drunkards rolling out of pubs and clubs at the same time and fighting for the same taxi home. They cited the wartime experience in Australia, where an early closing time had led to a phenomenon dubbed the"six o'clock's swill", in which people drank themselves silly against the clock. The hope was that, oncehours were relaxed, Britons would adopt more civilised, continental habits, sipping delicately at glasses of Chablis rather than downing ten pints. Were the optimists or the pessimists right?Since the law was changed, around two-thirds of licensed premises have extended their open- ing times, most by an hour or so. (Fewer than 1 percent were granted a 24-hour licence. ) That smoothed the ]lp. m. and 2 a. m. chuck-out peaks and filled in some of the troughs. Local authori- ties in several large, lively cities, including Birmingham, Nottingham and Manchester, report that the streets are no more disorderly than before. One popular drinkers' street in Birmingham has seen a dramatic drop in crime (although that may also be because businesses, fearing the worst, paid for street wardens). In London, most strikingly, there has not been a single month since the drinking laws were relaxed when more violent crimes were recorded than in the same month a year earlier. That is also true in Westminster, where many of the capital's pubs and clubs are clustered. Overall levels of violence in the borough have fallen by 12 percent in the ten months since November 2005, compared with the same period a year before.The police remain cautious about such positive signs, saying it is still too early to tell what effect liberalisation will have on crime. They point out that local forces have diverted time and money to police late-night drinking, and have been given extra cash by the government. That will run out on Christmas Eve, at which point things may become trickier.In the meantime, pessimists are marshalling new, more ambitious arguments. Martin Plant of the University of the West of England maintains that freer drinking can lead to long-termproblems that are not immediately apparent. Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, softened drinking laws seven years ago. While policing became easier, more drunkards pitched up at hospital and drink-driving rates soared.51. The following statements are true EXCEPT thatA. the English indulgence in alcohol even horrified Roman invaders.B. the police and judges were in favor of the relaxation of licensing hours.C. the government did away with a law regulating drinking hours last year.D. World War I first saw the implementation of the law regulating drinking hours.52. Why did the government want to reform the drinking-hour restrictions?A. To follow the example of Australia.B. To change Britons' attitude to alcohol.C. To reduce the amount of alcohol consumed.D. To reduce crime rates caused by drinking.53. What happens now in big cities?A.Hordes of drunkards flood out of pubs at llp. m. and 2a.m.B. More licenses are granted to pubs and clubs.C. There are fewer criminal offences related to drinking.D. Things are different in London from other big cities.54. The police hold the view thatA. the changes are due to more police efforts rather than the reform.B. extension of drinking hours has produced a negative outcome.C. the government obscures the truth by providing extramoney.D. the success of the reform can only be guaranteed with more government input.55. Those who do not see a good prospect of the drinking reformA. are trying to find more effective solutions.B. are convinced that the reform will lead to more violent crimes.C. believe that there should be adequate medical service for the drunkards.D. believe that softened drinking laws may produce negative long-term effects.Text 2The best estimate of humanity's ecological footprint suggests that it now exceeds the Earth's re- generative capacity by around 20 percent. This fact is mentioned early on in the latest book from Lester R. Brown. The subtitle of Plan B 2.0 makes the bold claim of rescuing a planet under stress and a civilization in trouble. So will Brown's Plan B work?The green movement divides broadly into two camps technological optimists and social revolu- tionaries. For every person like Brown proposing new ways to produce protein, there is an indige- nous movement in a developing country struggling for land redistribution. Another divide is be- tween those who see the biggest environmental problem as population pressure in the developing South, and those who say it is'consumption patterns in the rich North. When push comes to shove, Brown qualifies as a technological optimist who is worried about population. The giveaway is his eulogy to green techno-fixes, coupled with the fear of fast-growing developing countriescopying Western consumer lifestyles.His optimism, though, appears forced as he rolls out a depressing litany of statistics describing species extinction, water shortage, economic upheaval resulting from the eventual decline of oil production and, of course, climate change. And his rescue plans? Shoehorned into Brown's book is a section headed "Eradicating poverty, stabilizing population". This relies heavily on the orthodox approach to human development that seeks to use aid to plug the income gap for poor countries. Enumerating the costs of attaining the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals on health,education and poverty reduction, Brown conveys a sense that a few new fiscal measures, combined with the goodwill of rich countries, will deliver. This is an approach that has been followed for the last three decades, and it has not worked. During the 1990s, the share of benefits from global eco- nomic growth reaching those living on less than a dollar a day fell by 73 percent, in spite of count- less p——omises to end poverty. This is the problem with Plan B 2.0.Brown's picture of climate-change-induced chaos is terrifying and convincing. It includes the awful image of the world's poorest people competing for food with an ever-hungrier bio-fuels indus- try, whose job will be to keep the developed world's SUVs on the road as oil becomes ever more expensive and then runs out. The combination of industrial inertia and the influence of industry on lobbyists is making this vision increasingly plausible. The poor get a bad deal because the world is run by the economic equivalent of gunboat diplomacy, as the recent World Tracie Organization talks showed.Technologically optimistic visions often have too much faith that change will flow from a ration- al discussion about sensiblepolicies, while tiptoeing around the real problems of power and politics. Even with Brown's Plan B to tell us which renewable energy technologies to use and which resilient food crops to grow, we are going to need a way to deal with economic vested interests and the demo- cratic deficit in global financial institutions that excludes the poor. For that, we need Plan C.56. What is the issue that Brown tries to address in his newly published book?[ A]The word's population has increased by 20 percent.B. Human activities have gone beyond what the earth is able to sustain.C. Human beings have developed in a certain ecological pattern.D. The green movement has failed to produce needed environmental changes.57. Brown believes that the spread of consumerism to less developed countries hasA. led to land shortage and redistribution.B. narrowed down the difference in lifestyle.C. contributed to environmental deterioration.D. increased high-protein food consumption.58. Talking about Brown's dismal picture of environmental degradation, the author thinks thatA. his optimism does not seem to be well-grounded.B. too many depressing statistics were listed in his book.C. his description of the environmental problems lacks a focus.D. he is trying to force his optimism on the readers.59. The phrase "gunboat diplomacy" ( line 6, para. 4) meansA. to deal with industrial relations in the automobile sector by way of lobbying.B. to threaten to use force to make a smallercountry agree to your demand.C. to negotiate within the WTO framework in dealing with bilateral relations. A. Because new sensible policies may bring about positive changes.B. Because the gap between the rich and poor should be narrowed.C. Because new technologies and crops can be introduced under this plan.D. Because the core problems of international politics should be addressed first.Text 3The average person sees tens of thousands of images a day--images on television, in news- papers and magazines, and on the sides of buses. Images also grace soda cans and T-shirts, and In- ternet search engines can instantly procure images for any word you type. On Flickr. com, a photo- sharing Web site, you can type in a word such as "love" and find photos of couples in embrace or parents hugging their children. Type in "terror", and among the results is a photograph of the World Trade Center towers burning. "Remember when this was a shocking image?" asks the per- son who posted the picture.The question is not merely rhetorical. It points to something important about images in our cul- ture: they have become less magical and less shocking. Until the development of mass reproduc- tion, images carried more power and evoked more fear.Today, anyone with a digital camera and a PC can produce and alter an image. As a result, the power of the image has been diluted in one sense, but strengthened in another. It has been dilu- ted by the ubiquity of images and the many populist technologies ( like inexpensive cameras and picture-editingsoftware) that give,almost everyone the power to create, distort, and transmit ima- ges. But it has been strengthened by the gradual surrender of the printed word to pictures. Text ce- ded to image might be likened to an articulate person being rendered mute, forced to communicate via gesture and expression rather than language.We love images and the democratizing power of technologies that give us the capability to make and manipulate images. What we are less eager to consider are the broader cultural effects of a society devoted to the image. Historians and anthropologists have explored the story of mankind's movement from an oral-based culture to a written culture, and later to a printed one. But in the past several decades we have begun to move from a culture based on the printed word to one based largely on images.In making images rather than texts our guide, are we opening up new vistas for understanding and expression, creating a new form of communication that is "better than print," as some scholars have argued? Or are we merely making a peculiar and unwelcome return to forms of communica- tion once ascendant in preliterate societies?Two things in particular are at stake in our contemporary confrontation with an image-based culture. First, technology has considerably undermined our ability to trust what we see, yet we have not adequately grappled with the effects of this on our notions of truth. Second, if we are in- deed moving from the era of the printed word to an era dominated by the image, what impact will this have on. culture? Will we become too easily accustomed to verisimilar rather than true things, preferring appearance to reality and in the process rejecting the demandsof discipline and patience that true things often require of us if we are to understand their meaning and describe it with preci- sion?61. The first paragraph of the text tells us thatA. we are exposed to a multitude of images every day.B. consumer goods with images look more graceful.C. the Internet can instantly present images of anything we want to buy.D. Internet search engines give us undesired and shocking images.62.With the development of mass reproduction, imagesA. have become le,ss important in popular culture.B. are not as impressive as they were to viewers.C. will be more magical and shocking in the future.D. will become more and more thought-provoking.63. The power of the image has been strengthened in the sense thatA. populist technologies enable almost everybody to manipulate images.B. images have gradually won popularity among common people.C. images are forcing us to communicate via gestures rather than language.D. with populist technologies, texts might give way to pictures gradually.64. What does "forms of communication once ascendant in preliterate societies" (line 4,para. 5) refer to?A.Images.B. Written words.C. Printed images.D. Texts.65. From the text, it can be inferred that the authorA. agrees that images offer a better form of communication than the print.B. does not share the opinion that an image-based culture is less advanced.C. shows deep concern about the impact of images on culture.D.prefers the image era to that of the printed word.SECTl0N IIIReading ComprehensionPartAText l在欧洲，英格兰的豪饮是最根深蒂固的习俗，甚至罗马侵略者都战战兢兢的对其进行了描述。

My older brother was really good at it and they supported him – taking him to lessons all the time. So I guess when I announced that I wanted to be a tennis champion when I grew up I just intended for them to notice me. My mother laughed. She knew I couldn’t possibly be serious, I was just a 4-year-old kid!Later, I joined the club’s junior coaching group and eventually took part in my first proper contest, confident that my team would do well. We won, which was fantastic, but I wasn’t so successful. I didn’t even want to be in the team photo because I didn’t feel I deserved to be. When my coach asked what happened in my final match, I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t believe I’d lost – I knew I was the better player. But every time I attacked, the other player defended brilliantly. I couldn’t explain the result.After that, I decided to listen more carefully to my coach because he had lots of tips. I realised that you need the right attitude to be a winner. On court I have a plan but sometimes the other guy will do something unexpected so I’ll change it. If I lose a point, I do my best to forget it and find a way to win the next one.At tournaments, it’s impossible to avoid players who explode in anger.

Everyone thought it was a great idea, so we started looking online for the best trees to buy. 16 If we wanted them to grow properly, they had to be the right type – but there were so many different ones available! So our teacher suggested that we should look for trees that grew naturally in our part of the world. 17 They’d also be more suitable for the wildlife here.Then we had to think about the best place for planting the trees. We learnt that trees are happiest where they have room to grow, with plenty of space for their branches. The trees might get damaged close to the school playgrounds, for example. 18 Finally, we found a quiet corner close to the school garden – perfect!Once we’d planted the trees, we knew we had to look after them carefully. We all took turns to check the leaves regularly and make sure they had no strange spots or marks on them.19 And we decided to check the following spring in case the leaves turned yellow too soon, as that could also mean the tree was sick.We all knew that we wouldn’t be at the school anymore by the time the trees grew tall, and that was a bit sad. But we’d planted the trees to benefit not only the environment, but also future students at the school. 20 And that thought really cheered us up!8A So we tried to avoid areas where students were very active.B However, our parents did offer to help with the digging!C That could mean the tree had a disease.D But we soon found that choosing trees was quite complicated.E It can be quite good for young trees, though.F We knew they’d get as much pleasure from them as we had.G But at least we were doing it in the right season.H That way, the trees would be used to local conditions.►over 9TurnPart 5Questions 21 – 26For each question, choose the correct answer.This car runs on chocolate!Scientists have built a 300kph racing car that uses chocolate as a fuel!

What's so funny?John McCrone reviews recent research on humourYou should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-27, which are based on Reading Passage 21.The joke comes over the headphones: 'Which side of a dog has the most hair? The left ‘No, not funny. Try again’. Which side of a dog has the most hair? The outside.' Hah! The punchline is silly yet fitting, tempting a smile, even a laugh. Laughter has always struck people as deeply mysterious, perhaps pointless. The writer Arthur Koestler dubbed it the luxury reflex: 'unique in that it serves no apparent biological purpose'.2.Theories about humour have an ancient pedigree. Plato expressed the idea that humour is simply a delighted feeling of superiority over others. Kant and Freud felt that joke-telling relies on building up a psychic tension which is safely punctured by the ludicrousness of the punchline. But most modern humour theorists have settled on some version of Aristotle's belief that jokes are based on a reaction to or resolution of incongruity, when the punchline is either nonsense or, though appearing silly, has a clever second meaning.3.Graeme Ritchie, a computational linguist in Edinburgh, studies the linguistic structure of jokes in order to understand not only humour but language understanding and reasoning in machines. He says that while there is no single format for jokes, many revolve around a sudden and surprising conceptual shift. A comedian will present a situation followed by an unexpected interpretation that is also apt.4.So even if a punchline sounds silly, the listener can see there is a clever semantic fit and that sudden mental 'Aha!' is the buzz that makes us laugh. Viewed from this angle, humour is just a form of creative insight, a sudden leap to a new perspective.5.However, there is another type of laughter, the laughter of social appeasement and it is important to understand this too. Play is a crucial part of development in most young mammals. Rats produce ultrasonic squeaks to prevent their scuffles turning nasty. Chimpanzees have a 'play-face' - a gaping expression accompanied by a panting 'ah, ah' noise. Inhumans, these signals have mutated into smiles and laughs. Researchers believe social situations, rather than cognitive events such as jokes, trigger these instinctual markers of play or appeasement. People laugh on fairground rides or when tickled to flag a play situation, whether they feel amused or not.6.Both social and cognitive types of laughter tap into the same expressive machinery in our brains, the emotion and motor circuits that produce smiles and excited vocalizations. However, if cognitive laughter is the product of more general thought processes, it should result from more expansive brain activity.7.Psychologist Vinod Goel investigated humour using the new technique of 'single event' functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). An MR! scanner uses magnetic fields and radio waves to track the changes in oxygenated blood that accompany mental activity. Until recently, MRI scanners needed several minutes of activity and so could not be used to track rapid thought processes such as comprehending a joke. New developments now allow half-second'snapshots' of all sorts of reasoning and problem-solving activities.8.Although Goel felt being inside a brain scanner was hardly the ideal place for appreciating a joke, he found evidence that understanding a joke involves a widespread mental shift. His scans showed that at the beginning of a joke the listener's prefrontal cortex lit up, particularly the right prefrontal believed to be critical for problem solving. But there was also activity in the temporal lobes at the side of the head (consistent with attempts to rouse stored knowledge) and in many other brain areas. Then when the punchline arrived, a new area sprang to life - the orbital prefrontal cortex. This patch of brain tucked behind the orbits of the eyes is associated with evaluating information.9.Making a rapid emotional assessment of the events of the moment is an extremely demanding job for the brain, animal or human. Energy and arousal levels may need to be retuned in the blink of an eye. These abrupt changes will produce either positive or negative feelings. The orbital cortex, the region that becomes active in Goel's experiment, seems the best candidate for the site that feeds such feelings into higher-level thought processes, with its close connections to the brain's sub-cortical arousal apparatus and centres of metabolic control.10.All warm-blooded animals make constant tiny adjustments in arousal in response to external events, but humans, who have developed a much more complicated internal life as a result of language, respond emotionally not only to their surroundings, but to their own thoughts. Whenever a sought-for answer snaps into place, there is a shudder of pleased recognition. Creative discovery being pleasurable, humans have learned to find ways of milking this natural response. The fact that jokes tap into our general evaluative machinery explains why the line between funny and disgusting, or funny and frightening, can be so fine. Whether a joke gives pleasure or pain depends on a person's outlook.11.Humour may be a luxury, but the mechanism behind it is no evolutionary accident. As Peter Derks, a psychologist at William and Mary College in Virginia, says: 'I like to think of humour as the distorted mirror of the mind. It's creative, perceptual, analytical and lingual. If we can figure out how the mind processes humour, then we'll have a pretty good handle on how it works in general.'Questions 14-20Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2?In boxes 14-20 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this14 Arthur Koestler considered laughter biologically important in several ways. F15 Plato believed humour to be a sign of above-average intelligence. NG16 Kant believed that a successful joke involves the controlled release of nervous energy. T17 Current thinking on humour has largely ignored Aristotle's view on the subject. F18 Graeme Ritchie's work links jokes to artificial intelligence. T19 Most comedians use personal situations as a source of humour. NG20 Chimpanzees make particular noises when they arc playing.

TheNational Association to Advance Fat Acceptance(NAAFA)argues that it was not their combined 900kg bulk that made them ill. Obesity, according to NAAFA, is not bad for you. And, even if it was, there is nothing to be done about it, because genes dictate weight. Attempting to eat less merely slows metabolism, having people as chubby as ever.This is the fadash movement that causes America' s slimming industry so much pain. In his book Bin FatLies(Ballantine, 1996), Glenn Gaesser says that no study yet has convincingly shown that weight is an independent cause of health problems. Fatness does not kill people; things like hypertension, coronary heart diseases and cancer do. Mi-chael Fnmento, author of The Fat of the Land (Viking, 1997), ananti-fatlash diatribe, compares Dr Gaesser's logic with saying that the guillotine did not kill Louis XVI Rather, it was the severing of his vertebrae, the cutting of all the blood vessels in his neck, and.., the trauma caused by his head dropping several feet into a wicker basket.Being fat kills in several ways. It makes people far more likely to suffer from heart disease or high blood pres-sure. Even moderate obesity increases the chance of contracting diabetes. Being 40% overweight makes people 30% - 50% more likely to die of cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. Extreme fatness makes patients so much less likely to survive surgery that many doctors refuse to operate until they slim.The idea that being overweight is caused by obesity genes is not wholly false： researchers have found a number of genes that appear to make some people burn off energy at a。

My older brother was really good at it and they supported him – taking him to lessons all the time. So I guess when I announced that I wanted to be a tennis champion when I grew up I just intended for them to notice me. My mother laughed. She knew I couldn’t possibly be serious, I was just a 4-year-old kid!Later, I joined the club’s junior coaching group and eventually took part in my first proper contest, confident that my team would do well. We won, which was fantastic, but I wasn’t so successful. I didn’t even want to be in the team photo because I didn’t feel I deserved to be. When my coach asked what happened in my final match, I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t believe I’d lost – I knew I was the better player. But every time I attacked, the other player defended brilliantly. I couldn’t explain the result.After that, I decided to listen more carefully to my coach because he had lots of tips. I realised that you need the right attitude to be a winner. On court I have a plan but sometimes the other guy will do something unexpected so I’ll change it. If I lose a point, I do my best to forget it and find a way to win the next one.At tournaments, it’s impossible to avoid players who explode in anger. Lots of players can be negative – including myself sometimes. Once I got so angry that I nearly broke my racket! But my coach has helped me develop ways to control those feelings. After all, the judges have a hard job and you just have to accept their decisions.My coach demands that I train in the gym to make sure I’m strong right to the end of a tournament. I’m getting good results: my shots are more accurate and I’m beginning to realise that with hard work there’s a chance that I could be a champion one day.611 Harry thinks he said that he was going to be a tennis champion in order toA please his parents.B get some attention.C annoy his older brother.D persuade people that he was serious.12 How did Harry feel after his first important competition?A confused about his defeat.B proud to be a member of the winning team.C ashamed of the way he treated another player.D amazed that he had got so far in the tournament.13 What does Harry try to remember when he’s on the court?A Don’t let the other player surprise you.B Follow your game plan.C Respect the other player.D Don’t keep thinking about your mistakes.14 What does Harry say about his behaviour in tournaments?A He broke his racket once when he was angry.B He stays away from players who behave badly.C He tries to keep calm during the game.D He found it difficult to deal with one judge’s decisions.15 What might a sports journalist write about Harry now?AHarry needs to believe in his ownabilities and stop depending ongood luck when he plays.BHarry has really grown up since hisfirst tournament and discoveredthat tennis is a battle of minds notjust rackets.CHarry looked exhausted when hefinished his last match so maybehe should think about working out.DHarry could be a great player buthe needs to find a coach to takehim all the way to the bigcompetitions.7Turnover►Part 4Questions16 – 20Five sentences have been removed from the text below.For each question, choose the correct answer.There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.Planting treesby Mark Rotheram, aged 13This spring, our teacher suggested we should get involved in a green project and plant some trees around the school. Everyone thought it was a great idea, so we started looking online for the best trees to buy. 16 If we wanted them to grow properly, they had to be the right type – but there were so many different ones available! So our teacher suggested that we should look for trees that grew naturally in our part of the world. 17 They’d also be more suitable for the wildlife here.Then we had to think about the best place for planting the trees. We learnt that trees are happiest where they have room to grow, with plenty of space for their branches. The trees might get damaged close to the school playgrounds, for example. 18 Finally, we found a quiet corner close to the school garden – perfect!Once we’d planted the trees, we knew we had to look after them carefully. We all took turns to check the leaves regularly and make sure they had no strange spots or marks on them.19 And we decided to check the following spring in case the leaves turned yellow too soon, as that could also mean the tree was sick.We all knew that we wouldn’t be at the school anymore by the time the trees grew tall, and that was a bit sad. But we’d planted the trees to benefit not only the environment, but also future students at the school. 20 And that thought really cheered us up!8A So we tried to avoid areas where students were very active.B However, our parents did offer to help with the digging!C That could mean the tree had a disease.D But we soon found that choosing trees was quite complicated.E It can be quite good for young trees, though.F We knew they’d get as much pleasure from them as we had.G But at least we were doing it in the right season.H That way, the trees would be used to local conditions.►over 9TurnPart 5Questions 21 – 26For each question, choose the correct answer.This car runs on chocolate!Scientists have built a 300kph racing car that uses chocolate as a fuel!
