Who should you contact if you discover a fire?Reading passage 2Living Expenses--A Guide for Overseas Students1 In the mid-1990s it is estimated that a student living alone requires on average $12,000 in living expenses for each year of study. Of course, these costs increase with time.2 Upon arrival, students should have funds in excess of the average to cover the cost of textbooks and establishment expenses such as rental bond payment and basic furniture items. The amount spent on food, recreation, and entertainment expenses will vary according to requirements, budget, and location.3 Those who are prepared to live in shared accommodation, which may not be suitable for all, might manage on $10,000 per year. It is preferable for overseas students whose English is in need of practice to take advantage of live-in situations with native-speakers whenever possible. However, sharing with friends who are easy to communicate with is probably more sensible at first.4 The above figures do not include the cost of large non-essential items such as household equipment or a car. Owning and maintaining a motor vehicle is expensive in Australia. Insurance is compulsory and costly, and parking both on and of campus can be a problem requiring additional expense. It is not advisable for a student to own a car unless it is absolutely necessary. A reasonable second-hand car can cost in excess of $40005 Educational institutions are almost always serviced by reliable public transport. The university and college campuses within the major cities are well served by public busses. In addition, the larger cities have extensive train systems. For example, in Sydney, most college and university campuses are only 10 or 20 minutes from a rail station.6 The summer vacation requires special financial planning. Expenses for this period must be carefully estimated and added to costs for the academic year in order to give a realistic total figure for the calendar year. They are not included in the estimated $10,000-$12,000 previously quoted. University eating facilities, and some university and college housing facilities, close during this time. As a general rule, international students should expect to spend at least as much on monthly living expenses during the summer as they do during the academic year.7 Under present immigration regulations, international students are allowed to work up to 20 hours during term time and full-time during vacation. It is impossible for students to expect toearn sufficient funds working part-time to pay for tuition fees and living costs. While some students are able to supplement their funds with money from part-time and/or vacation work, such work is not always regular even when available, and this can contribute to anxiety and study problems. In general, it is unrealistic to start a course with insufficient funds in the hope that "something will turn up". Students should be aware that vacation work has become more difficult to find over the last few years, but those interested can contact the Commonwealth Employment Service or the Students' Union on campus.8 Warm clothes are necessary in the southern States during winter months, as night temperatures can drop to less than 10 degrees Celsius. Students should bring as much clothing from home as possible, especially if funds are limited. Information on where to buy inexpensive clothes can be obtained from the International Student Centre of most colleges and universities.9 Do not rush into buying expensive textbooks. It is advisable to wait until your first lectures and tutorials, and then ask academic staff which are the essential purchases. There is usually a second-hand bookshop on campus, and used texts are also advertised on faculty notice boards.10 The Students' Union coordinates a number of outlets on the various university campuses that provide stationery items and other essential study equipment at reasonable prices. Some courses require specialised equipment which can be quite costly, and it is wise to check any additional costs involved with the course of your choice.11 In general, those practically orientated courses tend to incur higher additional costs. Expenses for books, stationery, and equipment vary greatly, but you should allow approximately $500-$1000 a year.12 Most university campuses have banks and/or credit unions. The banks issue drafts, traveller's cheques or foreign currency notes, and accept telex or airmail transactions. In some colleges and universities the credit union is the institution's own credit union. In addition to normal banking and financial services (with no transaction charges), credit unions usually provide special services for international students.13 Money may be deposited or withdrawn from branches of the credit unions and banks during business hours from Monday to Friday (but not on public holidays) or 24 hours a day from the many on-campus automatic teller machines. Business hours for financial institutions vary, but credit unions are usually open from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays, and, generally, banks are open from 9.30 am to 4 pm (5 pm on Fridays). Some services are available on Saturday mornings in selected areas. While prices often compare favourably with prices overseas, because Australia is a large and exciting country it is very easy to overspend, especially if on a tight budget.Educationstationery8%Entertainment22%Food 15%15%Questions 5-15Complete the summary of the reading passage2 using words from the box.It is recommended that students have sufficient funds available to cover both the costs of living and studying while in Australia.

at the annual meeting of the Internationak Whaling commission(Iwc).Yet the possible return of commercial whaling across the world’s oceans still worries conservationists.At the IWC gathering in Ulsan,Korea,which ended today,Japan failed in its bid to life a ban on commercial whaling.But IWC members agreed to meet again to reconsider the issue with a view to ending the 19-year moratorium.In the wake of this latest impasse,some groups have called for the IWC to be reformed.Among those voicing criticism was Rune Frovik,secretary of the High North Alliabce,which represents fisherman and whalers in Nordic countries. “It’s just conflict all the time, ”he told the BBC . “They say they want to continue with a process,but in fact they are blocking progress. ”Despite setbacks for pro-whaling nations,such as Japan and Norway,they managed to further undermine the IWC:The countries indicated they will press ahead with plans to increase the nummber of whales killed under the rubric of scientific research programs.Japan signalled its intention to double its annual scientific catch of minke whales to about 900.It also aims to hunt 50 fin and humpback whales-species conservationists say are threatened.The commission criticized those plans and shot down Japan’s bid to allow communities on its northern Pacific coast to hunt 150 minke whales a year.It al so rejected Japan’s push to abolish the whale sanctuary in what many refer to as the S outhern Ocean-the Indian,Atlantic,and Pacific Ocean regions that sueeound Antarctica.The International Whaling Commission was formed in 1946 to whaling and to conserve the world ’s largest living animals.In 1982,with many whale populations close to extinction following centuries of exploitation,IWC member nations agreed to a ban on all commercial whaling.While the ban remains in effect,Japan,Norway,Iceland,and Greenland continue to hunt limited numbers of whales.The mammals are killed either as food for local consumption or for scientific purpose.Since 1994,the IWC has sought to negotiate a sustainable commercial whaling strategy to replacethe ban.Pro-whaling nations say it’s time for their proposal,known as the Revised Management Scheme(RMS),to be implemented.Japan has threatened to quit the IWC if the plan isn’t=====WORD 完整版----可编辑----专业资料分享=====adopted.Anti-whaling groups,such as the Wale and Dolphin Conservation Society based in Chippenham,England,oppose the RMS.Groups say the scheme wouldn’t detect,prevent,or penalize whaling violations and would jeopardize endangered whale populations.“Those that believe whaling can be broughe under control have had their eyes closed to the past century, ”said Niki Entrup of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.Entrup added that the whaling that has occurred,despite the current moratorium,shows that countries like Japan do not respect the decisions of the IWC.Currently Japan kills about 400 whales a year under the rubic of scientific research.Such programs don't fall within IWC jurisdicton.Norway has also set a quota to kill nearly 800 minke whales this summer.The nation is also considering scientific whaling of other species in future.Wildlife groups say most of the whales hunted under the aegis of scientific research end up being sold as food.Conservationists add that researches don ’t need to kill a w hale to study it.Non-lethal biopsy darts can potentially tell researchers as much about a whale ’s age, sex, diet, reproductive status, and genetics as a carcass can, argues Sue Lieberman, director of the Global Species Program for Conservation of the nonprofit World Wildlife Fund.“I think what this is about is the commercial market fot whale meat in Japan,”she said.However,Japan argues that a total ban on commercial buntinh is no longer justified. The nation says whale populations have recovered in the past two decades and that sustainable harvests are now possible. Japan notes that the IWC ’s scienific committee agrees that humpback whale nummbers are increasing by around 10 precent each year.The committee ’s most recent estimate also suggests that as many as a million minke whales live arrounf Antarctica alone.Surveys by the North Atlanic Marine Mammals Commission, based in Tromso, Norway, suggest minke whale numbers are either stable or increasing in all ares of the North Atlantic. The commission says current whaling quotas present no threat to the species.Joji Morishita, head of the Japanese IWC delegation, says the Revised Management Scheme, together with monitoring and inspection, would ensure regulated, sustainable whaling.“Science and law should prevail over emotions, ”he said. Japan’s Fisheries Ministry accuses nations opposed to any commercial whaling of“cultural imperialism.”Officicals ask how Australia and the United States would t a ke to being told they couln ’t hunt kangaroons or deer.As a cheap source of protein, whale meat became a staple in Japan after World War II. Authorities are currently promoting whale meat to younger gernations who are more used to Western-style fooda. In the wester coastal region of Wakeyama, Japan, around 280 schools are being supplied with whale meat. Education officials say they are trying to rekindle a centurues-old culinary tradition. And this week a Japanese fast-food chain, Lucky Pierrot, announced that it's putting whale burgers on it menus.Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage?TRUE FALSE NOT GIVEN if the statement agrees with the textif the statement contradicts with the text if no imformation is given1.

Michael Huffman and Mohamedi Seifu, working in the Mahale Mountains National Park in Tanzania, noticed that local chimpanzees suffering from intestinal worms would dose themselves with pith of a plant called Veronia. This plant produces poisonous chemicals called terpenes. Its pith contains a strong enough concentration to kill gut parasites, but not so strong as to kill chimps(nor people, for that matter; locals use the pith for the same purpose).Evidence for the detoxifying nature of clay came in 1999, from an experiment carried out on macaws by James Gilardi and his colleagues at the University of California, Davis, Macaws eat seeds containing alkaloids, a group of chemicals that has some notoriously toxic members such as strychnine. In the wild, the birds are frequently seen perched on eroding riverbanks eating clay.In 1972 Richard Wrangham, a researcher at the Gombe Stream Reserve in Tanzania, noticed that chimpanzees were eating the leaves of a tree called Aspilla. The chimps chose the leaves carefully by testing them in their mouths. Having chosen a leaf, a chimp would fold it into a fan and swallow it. Some of the chimps were noticedwrinkling their noses as they swallowed these leaves, suggesting the experience was unpleasant. Later, undigested leaves were found on the forest floor.It was Dr Huffman who got to the bottom of the problem. He did so by watching what came out of the chimps, rather than concentrating on what went in. He found that the egested l eaves were full of intestinal worms. The factor common to all 19 species of leaves swallowed by the chimps was that they were covered with microscopic hooks. These caught the worms and dragged them form their lodgings.Questions 21-25Complete t he notes below using NO MORE THAN ONE WORD OR NUMBER from the following paragraphsWrite your answers in boxes 5-9 on your answer sheet.Date Name Animal Food Mechanism1987 MichaelHuffman andMohanmediSeifu Chimpanzee 21______ofVeroniaContainedchemicals,22___, that cankill parasites1999 James Gilardiand hiscolleagues Macaw Seeds(contain23_____)andclayClaycan24____thepoisonouscontents infood1972 RichardWrang-ham Chimpanzee Leaves withtiny25_____onsurfaceSuch leavescan catch andexpel wormsfrom intestinesPassage two（每题3分，共15分）Sometimes ideas just pop up out of the blue.

The windows steamed up and Iwent to sleep with a towel against the glass. When I woke, the thing was soaking wet.I had to wring it out. And it set me thinking. Why was it so wet?”The answer, of course, was condensation. Back home in London, a physicistfriend, Philip Davies, explained that the glass, chilled by the rain outside, had cooledthe hot humid air inside the bus below its dew point, causing droplets of water to formon the inside of the window. Intrigued, Paton-a lighting engineer by profession-startedrigging up his own equipment. “I made my own solar stills. It occurred to me that you might be able to produce water in this way in the desert, simply by cooling the air.

He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters. It was then that the question of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an axe or a plough. But as more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money. In some countries easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer, instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity of the metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.22 Exchange of goods became difficult because _________.A: man became more civilizedB: smiths began to look after land or cattle in their spare timeC: more and more goods which had no fixed exchange values came to the markerD farmers hadn’t enough grain or meat to provide for skilled workers23 Money was not used until _______.A: paper was inventedB: people practiced a simple process of exchangeC: nothing could be offered in exchangeD: the exchange of one thing for another became too complicated24 The best title for this passage is _____.A: What is moneyB: What are money’s functions.C: The importance of moneyD: The beginning of moneyPassage 2When was the last time you saw a frog? Chances are, if you live in a city, you have not seen one for some time. Even in wet areas once teeming with frogs and toads, it is becoming less and less easy to find those slimy, hopping and sometimes poisonous members of the animal kingdom. All over the world, and even in remote parts of Australia, frogs are losing the ecological battle for survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise. Are amphibians simply oversensitive to changes in the ecosystem? Could it be that their rapid decline in numbers is signaling some coming environmental disaster for us all?This frightening scenario is in part the consequence of a dramatic increase over the last quarter century in the development of once natural areas of wet marshland; home not only to frogs but to all manner of wildlife. However, as yet, there are no obvious reasons why certain frog species are disappearing from rainforests in Australia that have barely been touched by human hand. The mystery is unsettling to say the least, for it is known that amphibian species are extremely sensitive to environmental variations in temperature and moisture levels. The danger is that planet Earth might not only lose a vital link in the ecological food chain (frogs keep populations of otherwise pestilent insects at manageable levels), but we might be increasing our output of air pollutants to levels that may have already become irreversible. Frogs could be inadvertently warning us of a catastrophe.An example of a species of frog that, at far as is known, has become extinct is the platypus frog. Like the well-known Australian mammal it was named after, it exhibited some very strange behavior; instead of giving birth to tadpoles in the water, it raised its young within its stomach. The baby frogs were actually born from out of their mother's mouth. Discovered in 1981, less than ten years later the frog had completely vanished from the crystal clear waters of Booloumba Creek near Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately, this freak of nature is not the only frog species to have been lost in Australia. Since the 1970s, no less than eight others have suffered the same fate.One theory that seems to fit the facts concerns the depletion of the ozone layer, a well documented phenomenon which has led to a sharp increase in ultraviolet radiation levels. The ozone layer is meant to shield the Earth from UV rays, but increased radiation may be having a greater effect upon frog populations than previously believed. Another theory is that worldwide temperature increases are upsetting the breeding cycles of frogs.TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN25. Frogs are disappearing only from city areas.26. Biologists are unable to explain why frogs are dying.27. Attempts are being made to halt the development of wet marshland.28. Frogs are important in the ecosystem because they control pests.29. The platypus frog became extinct by 1991.30. Eight frog species have become extinct so far in Australia.。

But despite thissetback, William was determined to get his education.He began visiting a local library that had just openedin his old primary school, where he discovered atattered science book. With only a rudimentary graspof English, he taught himself basic physics-mainly byStudying photos and diagrams. Another book hefound there featured windmills on the cover andinspired him to try and build his own.He started by constructing a small model. Then, with the help of a cousin and friend, he spent many weeks searching scrap yards and found old tractor fans, shock absorbers, plastic pipe and bicycle parts, which he used to build the real thing.For windmill blades, William cut some bath pipe in two lengthwise, then heated the pieces over hot coals to press the curled edges flat. To bore holes into the blades, he stuck a nail through half a corncob, heated the metal red and twisted it through the blades. It took three hours to repeatedly heat the nail and bore the holes. He attached the blades to a tractor fan using proper nuts and bolts and then to the back axle of a bicycle. Electricity was generated through the bicycle dynamo. When the wind blew the blades, the bike chain spun the bike wheel, which charged the dynamo and sent a current through wire to his house.What he had built was a crude machine that produced 12 volts and powered four lights. When it was all done, the windmill’s wingspan measured more than eight feet and sat on top of a ricketytower 15 feet tall that swayed violently in strong gales. He eventually replaced the tower with a sturdier one that stands 39 feet, and built a second machine that watered a family garden.The windmill brought William Kamkwamba instant local fame, but despite his accomplishment, he was still unable to return to school. However, news of his magetsi a mphepo -electric wind -spread beyond Malawi, and eventually things began to change. An education official, who had heard news of the windmill, came to visit his village and was amazed to learn that William had been out of school for five years. He arrayed for him to attend secondary school at the government's expense and brought journalists to the farm to see the windmill. Then a story published in the Malawi Daily Mail caught the attention of bloggers, which in tum caught the attention of organizers for the Technology Entertainment and Design conference.In 2007, William spoke at the TED Global conference in Tanzania and got a standing ovation. Businessmen stepped forward with offers to fund his education and projects, and with money donated by them, he was able to put his cousin and several friends back into school and pay for some medical needs of his family. With the donation, he also drilled a borehole for a well and water pump in his village and installed drip irrigation in his father's fields.The water pump has allowed his family to expand its crops. They have abandoned tobacco and new grow maize, beans, soybeans, potatoes and peanuts. The windmills have also brought big lifestyle and health changes to the other villagers. 'The village has changed a lot,1 William says. 'Now, the time that they would have spent going to fetch water, they are using for doing other things. And also the water they are drinking is dean water, so there is less disease. The villagers have also stopped using kerosene and can use the money previously spent on fuel to buy other things.William Kamkwamba's example has inspired other children in the village to pursue science. William says they now see that if they put their mind to something, they can achieve it. 'It has changed the way people think,’ he says.Questions 1-5Complete the flow chart below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Building the WindmillWilliam learned some 1 .......... from a library book.First, he built a 2 ............. of the windmill.Then he collected materials from 3.............. with a relative.He made the windmill blades from pieces of 4. .............He fixed the blades to a 5 .............. and then to part of a bicycle.He raised the blades on a tower.Questions 6-10Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?

They live in precarious balance with one of the toughest environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct threat to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outside experts tell them what's happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are jealously guarding their hard-won autonomy in the country's newest territory, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science. This is a challenge in itself.C The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that's covered with snow for most of the year. V enture into this terrain and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers meagre pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by exploiting sea mammals and fish. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the colonists were successful, sometimes they failed and vanished. But around a thousand years ago one group emerged that was uniquely well adapted to cope with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing kayaks, sleds, dogs, pottery and iron tools. They are the ancestors of today's Inuit people.D Life for the descendants of the Thule people is still harsh. Nunavut is 1.9 million square kilometres of rock and ice, and a handful of islands around the North Pole. It's currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them indigenous Inuit. Over the past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic ways and settled in the territory's 28 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature to provide food and clothing. Provisions available in local shops have to be flown intoNunavut on one of the most costly air networks in the world, or brought by supply ship during the few ice-free weeks of summer. It would cost a family around ￡7,000 a year to replace meat they obtained themselves through hunting with imported meat. Economic opportunities are scarce, and for many people state benefits are their only income. Questions1-6Complete the summary below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from paragraphs C and D for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 33-40 on your answer sheet.If you visit the Canadian Arctic, you immediately appreciate the problems faced by people for whom this is home.

A survey I conducted with Irene Whitney found that in British primary schools up to a quarter of pupils reported experience of bullying, which in about one in ten cases was persistent. There was less bullying in secondary schools, with about one in twenty-five suffering persistent bullying, but these cases may be particularly recalcitrant.B Bullying is clearly unpleasant, and can make the child experiencing it feel unworthy and depressed. In extreme cases it can even lead to suicide, though this is thankfully rare. Victimised pupils are more likely to experience difficulties with interpersonal relationships as adults, while children who persistently bully are more likely to grow up to be physically violent, and convicted of anti-social offences.C Until recently, not much was known about the topic, and little help was available to teachers to deal with bullying. Perhaps as a consequence, schools would often deny the problem. 'There is no bullying at this school' has been a common refrain, almost certainly untrue. Fortunately more schools are now saying: 'There is not much bullying here, but when it occurs we have a clear policy for dealing with it.'D Three factors are involved in this change. First is an awareness of the severity of the problem Second, a number of resources to help tackle bullying have become available in Britain. For example the Scottish Council for Research in Education produced a package of materials, Action Against Bullying, circulated to all schools in England and Wales as well as in Scotland in summer 1992 with a second pack, Supporting Schools Against Bullying, produced the following year. InIreland, Guidelines on Countering Bullying Behaviour in Post-Primary Schools was published in 1993. Third there is evidence that these materials work, and that schools can achieve something. This comes from carefully conducted 'before and after' evaluations of interventions in schools, monitored by a research team. In Norway, after an intervention campaign was introduced nationally, an evaluation of forty-two schools suggested that, over a two-year period, bullying was halved. The Sheffield investigation, which involved sixteen primary schools and seven secondary schools, found that most school s succeeded in reducing bullying.Questions 7-10Choose the correct letter,A, B, C or D.Write the correct letter in boxes 31-34 on your answer sheet.7 A recent survey found that in British secondary schoolsA there was more bullying than had previously been the case.B there was less bullying than in primary schools.C cases of persistent bullying were very common.D indirect forms of bullying were particularly difficult to deal with.8 Children who are bulliedA are twice as likely to commit suicide as the average person.B find it more difficult to relate to adults.C are less likely to be violent in later life.D may have difficulty forming relationships in later life.9 The writer thinks that the declaration 'There is no bullying at this school'A is no longer true in many schools.B was not in fact made by many schools.C reflected the school's lack of concern.D reflected a lack of knowledge and resources.10 What were the findings of research carried out in Norway?A Bullying declined by 50% after an anti-bullying campaign.B Twenty-one schools reduced bullying as a result of an anti-bullying campaign.C Two years is the optimum length for an anti-bullying campaign.D Bullying is a less serious problem in Norway than in the UK.C. 简要观点写作（60-100 words，满分9分）How can each individual take some actions to solve environmental problems?D.口语（满分9分）（内容略）。

His father sold dry goods from door to door. (Dry goods include many different things: fabric, thread, scissors, combs, buttons, yarn, etc.)In 1845, his father died. All six children decided to go to the United States. Two of Strauss? bothers started a dry goods company in New York City. Strauss? sister Fanny and her husband started a similar business in San Francisco. Strauss decided to go to the southeastern part of the United States. For eight years, he walked along the country roads selling dry goods from door to door -- just like his father in Bavaria.In 1853, Strauss decided to move to San Francisco. (At that time, thousands of people traveled to California to look for gold.) On the way to California, Strauss sold almost all of his dry goods. He had only one thing left -- some canvas.In California, Strauss tried to sell the canvas to the gold miners. He said they could make tents from the canvas. But they weren?t interested in canvas for tents. Strauss didn?t know what to do with the canvas. Then, he had an idea. Strauss could see that the miners needed new pants. There were holes in their pants because the fabric wasn?t strong. He decided to make the canvas into pants. They called them “Levi?s”. Later, Straussstopped using canvas and used a different fabric. It was a heavy cotton fabric -- the same kind people wear today.Levi Strauss died in 1902. He never married and left his money to his nephews. He left the world much more -- the jeans that so many people wear.(1) ________ isn…t a kind of dry goods. A. Thread B. Gold C. Comb D. Yarn(2) What is canvas?A. Tent.B. Pants.C. A very strong fabric.D. A thing which is used to make all kinds of trousers.(3) Why did the miners call the pants “Levi?s”?A. Because the pants belonged to Levi Strauss? father.B. In memory of Levi Strauss? father.C. It…s the name of Levi? Strauss? nephew.D. Because the pants are Levi?s invention.(4) Choose the right order of these happenings.a. Strauss decided to move to San Francisco.b. Strauss? father died.c. Two of Strauss? brothers started a dry goods company in New York City.d. Strauss invented the jeans.A. a-b-c-dB. a-d-b-cC. b-a-c-dD. b-c-a-d(5) Which of the following is NOT true about Levi Strauss？A. He was born in Germany.B. His parents had six children.C. He had five children.D. He died in 1902.Task 2Awareness Weeks have become a regular part of Britain?s cultural landscape over the past few years. They started back in 1957, when one charity, Christian Aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause.They were right, and soon other charities and campaign groups followed them. These days, most donations to charity are not collected on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time “raising awareness” -- spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support. They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use awareness weeks as marketing campaigns for their products.There are now 500 awareness weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with most held in May or October.The danger with all these awareness weeks is that people start to become cynical. Take National Smile Week, it seems like a great idea. Let?s all make each other?s life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. But really it?s just a group of den tists and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. It?s enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week.“People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises,” says Ms Ormiston, who edits the Awareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encouragespeople who run Awareness Weeks to become more aware of each other. “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”“There?s still no official group for awareness campaigns,”says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets or their public relations machines allows.”This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation charity campaigns.But there is another way. Maybe it?s time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak.(6) What?s the main purpose of awareness weeks run by charities in Britain?A．T o raise money for charities. B．T o spread knowledge of charities.C．T o take up marketing campaigns. D．To advertise their goods for sale.(7) Why do people start to become cynical about awareness weeks?A．T oo many awareness weeks make people feel bored.B．People feel many awareness weeks are just for marketing exercises.C．People have a weak awareness of awareness weeks.D．Awareness weeks are held too often and too much money is raised.(8) What does Ms Ormiston think about awareness weeks?A．Most of the awareness weeks should not be for making money.B．Official groups should take the place of charities in awareness campaigns.C．People can do what they like in awareness weeks.D．People can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns.(9) Which of the following is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns?A．Laws should stop awareness weeks run by real charities.B．There should be large public relations departments in awareness campaigns.C．Business and awareness campaigns should not be held at the same place.D．Marketing campaigns should not be in the name of charity ones.(10) What?s the writer?s view on Awareness Weeks?A．National Forget About It Week should be held to stop awareness weeks.B．National Smile Week is a great idea to improve people?s life.C．National Weak Awareness Week can help people better understand awareness weeks.D．Awareness Weeks should be stopped because of marketing campaigns.2.

Although it is late in the school year; you should take action by reassuring your son that he did nothing to bring this on and that you will help him. Many parents; unfortunately; think that bullying and being bullied are rites of passage; something all kids endure at some point in their lives just like suffering through boring assemblies and bad cafeteria food. But bullying is not; and should not be; considered a normal part of growing up.Studies done in Norway show that bullying is most common in the younger age groups but is still present even in the mid –teens. The percent of children who are bullied ranges from 17% in the second grade to about 5% in the ninth grade. A recent survey in the United States shows that 10% of children reported being bullied; 13% reported being a bully; and 6% reported being both bullied and being the bully. This survey was limited to sixth through tenth graders. What is bullyingBullying involves intentional and repeated actions and words designed to intimidate or hurt another person. There is usually an imbalance of power; either physical or psychological; between the perpetrator and his or her victim. Occasional name calling and shoving are not considered bullying because they are usually not repetitive events. On the other hand; if a child is on the receiving end of aunts and name calling by any persons regularly; then that is considered bullying. Physical aggression; social alienation; verbal aggression; and intimidation are the four main categories of bullying.Many parents are shocked when they find out their child has been the victim of a bully; and a few parents are shocked to find out that their child has been a bully .Victims tend to be more passive; anxious; and insecure than non-victims and to have more negative views of themselves. A small percentage of victims are termed“provocative”because they are both anxious and aggressive; often seeking the attention of the perpetrator.The bullies; by comparison; tend to be aggressive children and frequently lack empathy for others. Bullies usually have a positive self-image and a desire to be in control. The bully cherishes power. The cherished myth of the bully as a loner with a poor self-image seeking to bolster his own self-worth by attacking others didn’t hold up to scrutiny of scientific study. Of course; there will always be victims and perpetrators who do not fit these profilesAny child can be a bully; and any child can be bullied if the circumstances are right.Although bullying is common; studies report that only half the children report what is happening to a parent; and even fewer to a teacher. Few adults witness the acts of the bully because most aggression occurs at school and places where there is little oversight by an adult. The playground; cafeteria; and rest rooms are common locations for the perpetrator to act.Children who are victims may develop a variety of vague health complaints to avoid going to school or wherever the bullying is taking place. Sometimes this kind of school avoidance behavior can be a red flag for parents; so ask your child if he or she is being picked on and bullied.What go do about bullyingIf your child reveals to you that he or she is being bullied; take action. Parents can help the child by teaching him how to demonstrate an air of self-confidence by making good eye contact; speaking clearly and loudly enough to be heard. Remind the child to walk away from the encounter; tell the bully firmly that he is in the wrong; and to tell a teacher; parent or other adult what is happening.Parents of bullies should also intervene to stop the behavior and make it clear that bullying will not be tolerated or ignored. One study showed that 60% of boys who were identified as bullies in grades six through nine had at least one criminal conviction by age 24 years; between 35%and 40% of these children had three or more criminal convictions by that same age. Psychological counseling is often helpful and may identify the underlying problems such as depression or conduct disorder.There are many resources for parents and teachers. There are a number of good books such as Tackling Bullying in Your School: A Practical Handbook for Teachers by Sharp and Smith as well as Bully Proofing Your School by Garrity; Jens and Porter.Questions1-4Based on your reading of the text; complete the sentences below with words taken from the passage.

Sturgeon displayed its power by lifting nine pounds with a seven-ounce piece of iron wrapped with wires through which the current of a single cell battery was sent.In 1830; an American; Joseph Henry 1797-1878; demonstrated the potential of Sturgeon’s device for long-distance communication by sending an electronic current over one mile of wire to activate an electromagnet which caused a bell to strike. Thus the electric telegraph was born. Samuel F. B. Morse 1797-1872; whose sketches of a “magnetized magnet”in operation are shown here; successfully exploited Henry’s invention commercially.While a professor of arts and design at New York University in 1835; Samuel Morse proved that signals could be transmitted by wire. He used pulses of current to deflect an electromagnet; which moved a marker to produce written codes on a strip of paper---the invention of Morse Code. The following year; the device was modified to emboss the paper with dots and dashes. He gave a public demonstration in 1838; but it was not until five years later that Congress reflecting public apathy funded $30;000 to construct an experimental telegraph line from Washington to Baltimore; a distance of 40 miles.Six years later; members of Congress witnessed the sending and receiving of messages over part of the telegraph line. Before the line had reached Baltimore; the Whig party held its national convention there; and on May 1; 1844; nominated Henry Clay. This news was hand-carried to Annapolis Junction between Washington and Baltimore where Morse’s partner; Alfred Vail; wired it to the Capitol. This was the firs news dispatched by electric telegraph.The message;“What hath God wrought”sent later by “Morse Code”from the old Supreme Court chamber in the United States Capitol to his partner in Baltimore; officially opened the completed line of May 24;1844. Morse allowed Annie Ellsworth; the young daughter of a friend; to choose the words of the message; and she selected a verse from Numbers XXIII; 23:“What hath God wrought” which was recorded onto paper tape. Morse’s early system produced a paper copy with raised dots and dashes; which were translated later by and operator; Painting: Self Portrait by Samuel Morse -- Inventor of the TelegraphSamuel Morse and his associates obtained private funds to extend their line to Philadelphia and New York .Small telegraph companies; meanwhile began functioning in the East; South; and Midwest. Dispatching trains by telegraph started in 1851; the same year Western Union began business. Western Union built its first transcontinental telegraph line in 1861; mainly along rights-of-way. In 1881; the Postal Telegraph System entered the field for economic reasons; and merged with Western Union in 1943.The original Morse telegraph printed code on tape. However; in the United States the operation developed into sending by key and receiving by ear. A trained Morse operator could transmit 40 to 50 words per minute. Automatic transmission; introduced in 1914; handled more than twice that number.In 1913 Western Union developed multiplexing; which made it possible to transmit eight messages simultaneously over a single wire four in each direction Teleprinter machines came into use about 1925. Varioplex; introduced in 1936; enabled a single wire to carry 72 transmissions at the same time 36 in each direction. Two years later Western Union introduced the first of its automatic facsimile devices. In 1959 Western Union inaugurated TELEX which enables subscribers to the teleprinter service to dial each other directly. Until 1877; all rapid long-distance communication depended upon the telegraph. That year; a rival technology developed that would again change the face of communication ----the telephone. By 1879; patent litigation between Western Union and the infant telephone system was ended in an agreement that largely separated the two services.Samuel Morse is best known as the inventor of the telegraph; but he is also esteemed for his contributions to American portraiture. His painting is characterized by delicate technique and vigorous honesty and insight into the character of his subjects.Questions 13-20Complete the table below using the in formation in Reading Passage .

Twist in the TaleFears that television and computers would kill children‟s desire to read couldn‟t have been more wrong. With sales roaring, a new generation of authors are publishing‟s newest and unlikeliest literary stars.A Less than three years ago, doom merchants were predicting that the growth in video games and the riseof the Internet would sound the death knell for children‟s literature. But contrary to popular myth, children are reading more books than ever. A recent survey by Books Marketing found that children up to the age of 11 read on average for four hours a week, particularly girls.B Moreover, the children‟s book market, which traditionally was seen as a poor cousin to the morelucrative and successful adult market, has come into its own. Publishing houses are now making considerable profits on the back of new children‟s books and children‟s authors can now command significant advances. …Children‟s books are going through an incredibly fertile period,‟says WendyCooling, a children‟s literature consultant. …There‟s a real buzz around them. Book clubs are happening, sales are good, and people are much more willing to listen to children‟s authors.‟C The main growth area has been the market for eight to fourteen-year-olds, and there is little doubt thatthe boom has been fuelled by the bespectacled apprentice, Harry Potter. So influential has J.K.Rowling‟s series of books been that they have helped to make reading fashionable for pre-teens. …Harry made it OK to be seen on a bus reading a book,‟says Cooling. …To a child, that is important.‟The current buzz around the publication of the fourth Harry Potter beats anything in the world of adult literature.D …People still tell me, “Children don‟t read nowadays”, ‟ says David Almond, the award-winning authorof children‟s books such as Skellig. …The truth is that they are skilled, creative readers. When I do classroom visits, they ask me very sophisticated questions about use of language, story structure, chapters and dialogue.‟ No one is denying that books are competing with other forms of entertainment for children‟s attention but it seems as though children find a special kind of mental nourishment within the printed page.E …A few years ago, publishers lost confidence and wanted to make books more like television, themedium that frightened them most,‟ says children‟s book critic Julia Eccleshare. … But books aren‟t TV, and you will find that children always say that the good thing about books is that you can see them in your head. Children are demanding readers,‟ she says, …If they don‟t get it in two pages, they‟ll drop it.‟F No more are children‟s authors considered mere sentimentalists or failed adult writers. …Some fetedadult writers would kill for the sales,‟ says Almond, who sold 42,392 copies of Skellig in 1999 alone.And advances seem to be growing too: UK publishing outfit Orion recently negotiated a six-figure sum from US company Scholastic for The Seeing Stone, a children‟s novel by Kevin Crossley-Holland, the majority of which will go to the author.G It helps that once smitten, children are loyal and even fanatical consumers. Author Jacqueline Wilsonsays that children spread news of her books like a bushfire. …My average reader is a girl of ten,‟ she explains. …They‟re sociable and acquisitive. They collect. They have parties-where books are a good present. If they like something, they have to pass it on.‟After Rowling, Wilson is currently the best-selling children‟s writer, and her sales have boomed over the past three years. She has sold more than three million books, but remains virtually invisible to adults, although most ten-year-old girls know about her.H Children‟s books are surprisingly relevant to contemporary life. Provided they are handled with care,few topics are considered off-limits for children. One senses that children‟s writers relish the chance to discuss the whole area of topics and language. But Anne Fine, author of many award-winning children‟s books is concerned that the British literati still ignore children‟s culture. …It‟s considered worthy but boring,‟ she says.I …I think there‟s still a way to go,‟says Almond, who wishes that children‟s books were taken moreseriously as literature. Nonetheless, he derives great satisfaction from his child readers. …They have a powerful literary culture,‟ he says, … It feels as if you‟re able to step into the store of mythology and ancient stories that run through all societies and encounter the great themes: love and loss and deathand redemption.‟J At the moment, the race is on to find the next Harry Potter. The bidding for new books at Bologna this year – the children‟s equivalent of the Frankfurt Book Fair – was as fierce as anything anyone has ever seen.

Examining leisure spending changes that picture.A Are you better off than you used to be? Even after six years of sustained economic growth, Americans worry about that question. Economists who plumb government income statistics agree that Americans‟incomes, as measured in inflation-adjusted dollars, have risen more slowly in the past two decades than in earlier times, and that some workers‟ real incomes have actually fallen. They also agree that by almost any measure, income is distributed less equally than it used to be. Neither of those claims, however, sheds much light on whether living standards are rising or falling. This is because …living standard‟is a highly amorphous concept. Measuring how much people earn is relatively easy, at least compared with measuring how well they live.B A recent paper by Dora Costa, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, looks at the living-standards debate from an unusual direction. Rather than worrying about cash incomes, Ms Costa investigates Americans‟ recreational habits over the past century. She finds that people of all income levels have steadily increased the amount of time and money they devote to having fun. The distribution of dollar incomes may have become more skewed in recent years, but leisure is more evenly spread than ever.C Ms Costa bases her research on consumption surveys dating back as far as 1888. the industrial workers surveyed in that year spent, on average, three-quarters of their incomes on food, shelter and clothing. Less than 2% of the average family‟s income was spent on leisure but that average hid large disparities. The share of a family‟s budget that was spent on having fun rose sharply with its income: the lowest-income families in this working-class sample spent barely 1% of their budgets on recreation, while higher earners spent more than 3%. Only the latter group could afford such extravagances as theatre and concert performances, which were relatively much more expensive than they are today.D Since obvious cause is that real income overall has risen. If Americans in general are richer, their consumption of entertainment goods is less likely to be affected by changes in their income. But Ms Costa reckons that rising incomes are responsible for, at most, half of the changing structure of leisure spending. Much of the rest may be due to the fact that poorer Americans have more time off than they used to. In earlier years, low-wage workers faced extremely long hours and enjoyed few days off. But since the 1940s, the less skilled (and lower paid ) have worked ever-fewer hours, giving them more time to enjoy leisure pursuits.F Conveniently, Americans have had an increasing number of recreational possibilities to choose from. Public investment in sports complexes, parks and golf course has made leisure cheaper and more accessible. So too has technological innovation. Where listening to music used to imply paying for concert tickets or owning a piano, the invention of the radio made music accessible to everyone and virtually free. Compact discs, videos and other paraphernalia have widened the choice even further.G At a time when many economists are pointing accusing fingers at technology for causing a widening inequality in the wages of skilled and unskilled workers, Ms Costa‟s research gives it a much more egalitarian face. High earners have always been able to afford amusement. By lowering the price of entertainment, technology has improved the standard of living of those in the lower end of the income distribution. The implication of her results is that once recreation is taken into account, the difference in Americans‟ living standards may not have widened so much after all.H These findings are not water-tight. Ms Costa‟s results depend heavily upon what exactly is classed as arecreational expenditure. Reading is an example. This was the most popular leisure activity for working men in 1888, accounting for one-quarter of all recreational spending. In 1991, reading took only 16% of the entertainment dollar. But the American Department of Labour‟s expenditure surveys do not distinguish between the purchase of a mathematics tome and that of a best-selling novel. Both are classified as recreational expenses. If more money is being spent on textbooks and professional books now than in earlier years, this could make …recreational‟ spending appear stronger than it really is.I Although Ms Costa tries to address this problem by showing that her results still hold even when tricky categories, such as books, are removed from the sample, the difficulty is not entirely eliminated. Nonetheless, her broad conclusion seems fair. Recreation is more available to all and less dependent on income. On this measure at least, inequality of living standards has fallen.Question 22-26Complete each of the following statements (Questions 22-26) using words from the box.Write the appropriate letter A-H in boxes 22-26 on your answer sheet.23 A decrease in …… during the 20th century led toa bigger investment in leisure.24According to Ms Costa, how much Americansspend on leisure has been directly affected bysalaries and ……25The writer notes both positive and negativeinfluences of …….26According to the writer, the way Ms Costa defined ……may have been misleading.。

The US continues to lead the way, with as many as 37% of its children and adolescents carrying around too much fat. But other countries are rapidly catching up. According to statistics presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Finland, more than 20% of European youngsters between the ages of 5 and 17 are either overweight or obese. Asia lags behind the US and Europe in its obesity statistics, but Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and the Philippines have all reported troubling increases in recent years. Up to 10% of China's 290 million children are already believed to be overweight or obese, and that percentage is expected to have doubled a decade from now. So across Asia too, childhood obesity is on the rise, and a less marked trend has been documented even in urbanized areas of sub-Saharan Africa.B Why do children become obese? One important factor is insulin, a hormone which enables the body to store extra calories as fat. Physical exercise helps control insulin levels, while ingesting fat combined with starches and sugar can cause surges in insulin levels. A child who sits in front of the TV for hours on end, eating potato chips and doughnuts, is an ideal fat-storage machine.C What is urgently needed is for schools, health professionals, parents and children to work together. Encouragingly, changing a family's lifestyle in healthy ways does not appear to be all that difficult: it involves regular exercise, slightly smaller portions and slightly different foods. And this, say health officials, is a message that badly needs to get out.Questions 11-16Do the following statements agree with the information given in Text 1 WriteTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this11.Just over one third of the total population of the US is overweight. T and Europe have an equal proportion of obese children.F13.It is forecast that the proportion of overweight or obese children in China will reach 20% in ten years’ time.F14.There is a downward trend in childhood obesity in some African towns and cities.F15.Insulin levels rise sharply when foods with high levels of starch, sugar and fat are eaten.

Each such innovation has changed the industry irreversibly; each has been accompanied by a period of fear mixed with exhilaration. The arrival of digital technology, which translates music, pictures and text into the zeros and ones of computer language, marks one of those periods.B .This may sound familiar, because the digital revolution, and the explosion of choice thatwould go with it, has been heralded for some time. In 1992, John Malone, chief executive of TCI, an American cable giant, welcomed the '500-channel universe'. Digital television was about to deliver everything except pizzas to people's living rooms. When the entertainment companies tried out the technology, it worked fine - but not at a price that people were prepared to pay.C .Those 500 channels eventually arrived but via the Internet and the PC rather than throughtelevision. The digital revolution was starting to affect the entertainment business in unexpected ways. Eventually it will change every aspect of it, from the way cartoons are made to the way films are screened to the way people buy music. That much is clear. What nobody is sure of is how it will affect the economics of the business.D .New technologies always contain within them both threats and opportunities. They have thepotential both to make the companies in the business a great deal richer, and to sweep them away. Old companies always fear new technology. Hollywood was hostile to television, television terrified by the VCR. Go back far enough, points out Hal V arian, an economist at the University of California at Berkeley, and you find publishers complaining that 'circulating libraries' would cannibalise their sales. Y et whenever a new technology has come in, it has made more money for existing entertainment companies. The proliferation of the means of distribution results, gratifyingly, in the proliferation of dollars, pounds, pesetas and the rest to pay for it.E .All the same, there is something in the old companies' fears. New technologies may notthreaten their lives, but they usually change their role. Once television became widespread, film and radio stopped being the staple form of entertainment. Cable television has undermined the power of the broadcasters. And as power has shifted the movie studios, the radio companies and the television broadcasters have been swallowed up. These days, the grand old names of entertainment have more resonance than power. Paramount is part of Viacom, a cable company; Universal, part of Seagram, a drinks-and-entertainment company;MGM, once the roaring lion of Hollywood, has been reduced to a whisper because it is not part of one of the giants. And RCA, once the most important broadcasting company in the world, is now a recording label belonging to Bertelsmann, a large German entertainment company.F．Part of the reason why incumbents got pushed aside was that they did not see what was coming. But they also faced a tighter regulatory environment than the present one. In America, laws preventing television broadcasters from owning programme companies were repealed earlier this decade, allowing the creation of vertically integrated businesses.Greater freedom, combined with a sense of history, prompted the smarter companies in the entertainment business to re-invent themselves. They saw what happened to those of their predecessors who were stuck with one form of distribution. So, these days, the powers in the entertainment business are no longer movie studios, or television broadcasters, or publishers;all those businesses have become part of bigger businesses still, companies that can both create content and distribute it in a range of different ways.G .Out of all this, seven huge entertainment companies have emerged - Time Warner, WaltDisney, Bertelsmann, Viacom, News Corp, Seagram and Sony. They cover pretty well every bit of the entertainment business except pornography. Three are American, one is Australian, one Canadian, one German and one Japanese. 'What you are seeing', says Christopher Dixon, managing director of media research at PaineWebber, a stockbroker, 'is the creation of a global oligopoly. It happened to the oil and automotive businesses earlier this century; now it is happening to the entertainment business.' It remains to be seen whether the latest technology will weaken those great companies, or make them stronger than ever.Questions 21-28Reading Passage 2 has seven paragraphs A-G.Which paragraph mentions the following (Questions 21-28)?Write the appropriate letters (A-G) in boxes 21-28on your answer sheet.NB Some of the paragraphs will be used more than once.21.the contrasting effects that new technology can have on existing business22.the fact that a total transformation is going to take place in the future in the delivery of allforms of entertainment23.the confused feelings that people are known to have experienced in response to technologicalinnovation24. the fact that some companies have learnt from the mistakes of others25.the high cost to the consumer of new ways of distributing entertainment26.uncertainty regarding the financial impact of wider media access27.the fact that some companies were the victims of strict government policy28.the fact that the digital revolution could undermine the giant entertainment companies Questions 29-32The writer refers to various individuals and companies in the reading passage.

Mins)___________________________________________________________ In this section, you will be given 15mins to do a reading comprehensive, first you readthis passage and then answer those questions.Crop-growing skyscrapersBy the year 2050, nearly 80% of the Earth’s population will live in urban centres.Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about three billion people by then.An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% larger than Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming methods continue as they are practised today.At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use.Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices.What can be done to ensure enough food for the world’s population to live on?The concept of indoor farming is not new, since hothouse production of tomatoes and other produce has been in vogue for some time.What is new is the urgent need to scale up this technology to accommodate another three billion people.Many believe an entirely new approach to indoor farming is required, employing cutting-edge technologies.One such proposal is for the ‘Vertical Farm’.The concept is of multi-storey buildings in which food crops are grown in environmentally controlled conditions.Situated in the heart of urban centres, they would drastically reduce the amount of transportation required to bring food to consumers.Vertical farms would need to be efficient, cheap to construct and safe tooperate.If successfully implemented, proponents claim, vertical farms offer the promise of urban renewal, sustainable production of a safe and varied food supply (through year-round production of all crops), and the eventual repair of ecosystems that have been sacrificed for horizontal farming.It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow most of the crops we now take for granted.Along the way, we despoiled most of the land we worked, often turning verdant, natural ecozones into semi-arid deserts.Within that same time frame, we evolved into an urban species, in which 60% of the human population now lives vertically in cities.This means that, for the majority, we humans have shelter from the elements, yet we subject our food-bearing plants to the rigours of the great outdoors and can do no more than hope for a good weather year.However, more often than not now, due to a rapidly changing climate, that is not what happens.Massive floods, long droughts, hurricanes and severe monsoons take their toll each year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops.The supporters of vertical farming claim many potential advantages for the system.For instance, crops would be produced all year round, as they would be kept in artificially controlled, optimum growing conditions.There would be no weather-related crop failures due to droughts, floods or pests.All the food could be grown organically, eliminating the need for herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers.The system would greatly reduce the incidence of many infectious diseases that are acquired at the agricultural interface.Although the system would consume energy, it would return energy to the grid via methane generation from composting nonedible parts of plants.It would also dramatically reduce fossil fuel use, by cutting out the need for tractors, ploughs and shipping.A major drawback of vertical farming, however, is that the plants would require artificial light.Without it, those plants nearest the windows would be exposed to more sunlight and grow more quickly, reducing the efficiency of the system.Singlestorey greenhouses have the benefit of natural overhead light: even so, many still need artificial lighting.A multi-storey facility with no natural overhead light would require far more.Generating enough light could be prohibitively expensive, unless cheap, renewable energy is available, and this appears to be rather a future aspiration than a likelihood for the near future.One variation on vertical farming that has been developed is to grow plants in stacked trays that move on rails.Moving the trays allows the plants to get enough sunlight.This system is already in operation, and works well within a single-storey greenhouse with light reaching it from above: it is not certain, however, that it can be made to work without that overhead natural light.Vertical farming is an attempt to address the undoubted problems that we face in producing enough food for a growing population.At the moment, though, more needs to be done to reduce the detrimental impact it would have on the environment, particularly as regards the use of energy.While it is possible that much of our food will be grown in skyscrapers in future, most experts currently believe it is far more likely that we will simply use the space available on urban rooftops.Complete

Complete the application form using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Write your answers in boxes 31-37 on your answer sheetDear MandyMany thanks for your “Get Well” card and the lovely flowers. They really cheered me up while I was in hospital. But I‟m out and well on the mend. The doctors were very kind and refused to believe I‟ll be 30 next birthday and said I was recuperating as if I was only 18. I‟ll be on crutches for a few weeks but after that l‟ll be back to normal - well in time for starting college. I‟ll be more careful the next time o go skiing!Talking of college, I‟ve got the details of the accommodation, and I need to make up my mind about where and what type to go for. I think I‟d like bo be with other students from outside the History department. It‟s easier to make friends in Physics or Drama or something that way, so I think staying with a family is out of the question. And I don‟t want to share a bathroom – silly, I know – so I guess I‟ll have to pay a bit more if I want my own. I suppose that rules out Danver House, which is a pity because otherwise it seemed nice. I‟d consider it if I couldn‟t find a cheap room with a bathroom. It‟s got to be close to college because I don‟t have a car and I don‟t think I can afford the bus. And it has to be as cheap as possible – the views of the estuary from Blane Castle sound lovely but it is rather pricey.I‟m not fond of institution food so I‟d prefer somewhere I can do most of the cooking myself. Perhaps having breakfast prepared for me wouldn‟t be so bad. Not even the college cooks can ruin coffee and toast, surely! So you‟ve probably worked out I‟ll try to stay on campus for my first choice and for my second I‟d share with you if you and your friends are still willing. I‟d just have to put up with sharing the bathroom so I could stay with other students, I suppose. Not ideal but you can‟t have everything. What do you think? Y ou‟d better give me a call soon, because I need to send off thif form by the end of the week.Lots of LoveMarilynSection 3 Questions 38-50Question 38-44Read the article, which has eight paragraphs A-H.

Darling Pit is mine that startedindustrial development in Australia, Providing coal to power the factories, help run ships and the railways, make steel and heat homes.B Begun in 1809 on Paul Darling‟s farmstead when resources of coal and iron were found near the surface, the Darling Pit was rapidly transformed from a simple drift mine into the Word‟s biggest, and deepest, coal mine. 94miles of tunnels extending up to 600 feet below ground were all dug by hand. At its height in 1850,over 15,000 men were employed in the pit and it produced over 1.5 million tons of coal annually. It continued as a working mine until 1978 and is now preserved as museum and a monument to the men who worked hereC A glance from the surrounding hillside as you approach the Darling will show you how mining transformed the local scenery as well as the local economy. The Darling Pit retains its 19th century ironworks, pit head machinery, 3,000 terraced houses built to accommodate the workforce, a chapel and 4 pubs. Even the original farmhouse survives. This tight-knit community is now surrounded by slag heaps – the mountains of soil and other waste dug out to get to the coal.D Mining was a dangerous occupation in the 19th century. Most mines suffered deaths from tunnel collapse and from flooding. Pneumoconiosis, an inflammation of the lungs brought about by prolonged exposure to coal dust, was also a common problem and historical works from the last century refer to the ease of identifying examiners by the …Darling cough‟. The major problem in the Darling mine, however, was the prevalence of inflammable coal gas in the area, which resulted in the underground explosions of 1854 and 1910. Monuments to the 485 miners who died in these tragedies can be seen in the chapel.E The Darling Pit is still a real colliery, even though it no longer produces coal. There is still a staff of over 100 who maintain the mine and assist the visitors. The Pit now allows tourists and visitors to undertake guided tours of the works, including a tour of selected shafts underground. Many of the guides are ex-miners who will explain the workings of the mine and tell you many stories from their personal experience. Helmets, lamps and protective clothing are provided, although visitors are reminded that it can be cold underground and they are advised to wear something warm as well as sensible protective footwear.F The Darling Pit now has all the amenities needed for a major tourist attraction. Many of the buildings on the surface are open for exploration: the engine house at the pit head, the blacksmith‟s shop, the pit head baths and the stables ( remember pit ponies provided much of the power for moving coal before the electric engine became available ). The miners‟pubs now feature as canteens and restaurants, offering a range of fast and high quality food and drink. There are picnic areas, toilets, a gift shop and even a photographic studio. The miners‟ chapel is also available for those who would like to spend time in quiet contemplation or prayer.G It is regretted that children under 5 cannot be taken on tours underground, although they can visit all the surface exhibits. Visitors in wheelchairs can be accommodated, even underground, but please notify the ticket office of this on entry.H Opening hours are 9.30 am to 5.00 pm daily in summer from the beginning of April to the end of September. During winter opening is from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. The site is open every day including weekends and bank holidays except for Christmas Day. Please note, however, that the underground section of the Pit may be closed for maintenance during the winter and visitors should ring in advance to avoid disappointment. Underground tours start from 10.00 am in the summer and 11.00 am in winter and last admissions are at 3.30 pm throughout the year. A complete tour will take at least 3 hours and could last all day. Group rates are available, as areconcessions for school parties and OAPs. There is a free car park.Questions 45-50Choose the appropriate letters A-D and write them in boxes 45-50 on your answer sheet.45 The site of the Darling Pit was originallyA a factory.B a mine.C a farm.D a house.46Mining in the Darling Pit was particularly dangerous because ofA tunnel collapse.B pneumoconiosis.C flooding.D coal gas.47Y ou should check with the pit before visiting in winter becauseA it opens later.B it closes for maintenance.C it closes earlier.D notice is needed for wheelchair visitors.48During summer, tours start atA 9.30am.B 10.00am.C 11.00am.D 3.30pm.49 Children under 5 cannot go toA the slag heaps.B the area below ground.C the blacksmith’s shop.D the stables.50The Darling Pit now employsA more than 100 people.B 3,000 people.C 15,000 people.D 1.5 million people.。

IELTS Placement TestSection 1ListeningListen to Extracts 1 and 2 and answer questions 1, 2 and 3.Now listen to Extract 3 and answer questions 4-6.Now listen to Extract and answer questions 7-10.Section 2ReadingYou should spend about 10 minutes on Questions 11-16 which are based on Reading passage1 below.Text 1Childhood obesity goes globalA Childhood obesity is rapidly becoming a global epidemic. The US continues to lead the way, with as many as 37% of its children and adolescents carrying around too much fat. But other countries are rapidly catching up. According to statistics presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Finland, more than 20% of European youngsters between the ages of 5 and 17 are either overweight or obese. Asia lags behind the US and Europe in its obesity statistics, but Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and the Philippines have all reported troubling increases in recent years. Up to 10% of China's 290 million children are already believed to be overweight or obese, and that percentage is expected to have doubled a decade from now. So across Asia too, childhood obesity is on the rise, and a less marked trend has been documented even in urbanized areas of sub-Saharan Africa.B Why do children become obese? One important factor is insulin, a hormone which enables the body to store extra calories as fat. Physical exercise helps control insulin levels, while ingesting fat combined with starches and sugar can cause surges in insulin levels. A child who sits in front of the TV for hours on end, eating potato chips and doughnuts, is an ideal fat-storage machine.C What is urgently needed is for schools, health professionals, parents and children to work together. Encouragingly, changing a family's lifestyle in healthy ways does not appear to be all that difficult: it involves regular exercise, slightly smaller portions and slightly different foods. And this, say health officials, is a message that badly needs to get out.Questions 11-16Do the following statements agree with the information given in Text 1 WriteTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this11.Just over one third of the total population of the US is overweight. T and Europe have an equal proportion of obese children.F13.It is forecast that the proportion of overweight or obese children in China will reach 20% in ten years’ time.F14.There is a downward trend in childhood obesity in some African towns and cities.F15.Insulin levels rise sharply when foods with high levels of starch, sugar and fat are eaten. T16.Parents play the most important role in improving eating habits.NGSection 3Grammar and VocabularyYou should spend about 8 minutes on Questions 25-30 which are based on Grammar and Vocabulary below.Questions 25-27Choose the most appropriate answers lettered A-D.25.
