SHOPPING IN THE FUTURE Your answers 0 In ten years' time, customers will be able to shop in ways that we √ 00 can't possibly be imagine now. Technology is revolutionising the be 30 whole process of shopping. Years ago people didn't need go to the 31 shop everyday because they could have had things delivered to 32 their homes. Home delivery may be quite possibly become part of 33 modern life. In fact, the process is happening already. Nowadays 34 we can all buy things over the Internet. We don't even have need to 35 leave our chairs. I wonder if you can to imagine what a 'intelligent 36 kitchen’ will be in the future? It will probably contain a robot or 37 electronic "housekeeper'.

ACCESS) parts of the earth to make detailed (41. WRITE) records of such languages. The work can be difficult and at times dangerous as some tribes are deeply suspicious of language researchers like Professor Enkelmann who ask them so many questions. Some linguists have been (42. PRISON) or threatened with guns while working in countries where the political situation is unstable. According to Enkelmann, the (43. APPEAR) of a language begins when the younger generation no longer uses it. And when there are fewer than 40 speakers, the language is (44. LIKELY) to survive. If we can document a language before it becomes extinct we can help to preserve the knowledge which is possessed by the people who speak it, explains Enkelmann. Your answers 40. 41. 42. 43. 44.

Food and ideas about cooking it have been passing from one part of the world to another ever since the Stone Age revolution began in the Middle East. They were part of the spread of civilisation, though since people change their tastes in painting and architecture much faster than their tastes in food, knowledge of what was eaten is far less than knowledge of the houses that were lived in or the clothes that were worn. Cookery books were few before the 17th century - and how close are the general eating habits at any period to the cookery books published? Page 4 of 10
5. Change owed more to the movement of people, of armies, of merchants, of wealthy landowners, than to books. Before canals, the railways, good roads, most people ate what could be produced within a thirty-mile area. Ports did better, of course, if they were on a big trade route. For most people food was basically regional food and there was not little to eat since most of what they produced went for sale at local markets. Only wealthy men could buy expensive seeds to grow unusual vegetables, or employ gardeners who understood how to grow fine fruit unfamiliar to the place they lived in, or afford cooks trained elsewhere to provide variety at mealtimes. The undoubted advantages of present-day large-scale manufacture and organisation outstanding cleanliness, quick distribution prices that allow far more people than ever in the past to satisfy their hunger- have not so far come to us together with an excellent quality of flavour. Moreover, in a world where possibilities are endless, business seems to try to limit choice beyond a certain level. Of the 300 varieties of pear that are listed by one French 17h century gardener - even though he had to admit that only 30 of them were really worth eating - only about half a dozen are now produced in Europe. 50. Why do we know so little about the food people ate in the past? A. Eating habits used to change very quickly. B. There were no cookery books before the 17th century. C. Cookery books probably don't reflect contemporary eating habits. D. There are very few paintings of food. 51. Changes in eating habits were due to___ A. shortages of basic foods. B. the influence of travellers. C. developments in agriculture. D. the recipes of foreign cooks. 52. What is the problem with our food today? A. It’s too expensive for many people. B. It’s manufactured too quickly. C. It doesn’t taste as it used to. D. It’s exported in very large quantities. 53. What point is the author making in the example about the pear in the last paragraph? A. There is not as much variety now as before. B. There was more variety in the past but quality was not as high. C. Most pears which were produced were inedible. D. There is more variety outside Europe than in Europe. 54. What does ‘they’ in paragraph 2 refer to? A. canals B. railways C. roads D. ports Your answers. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. Part 3. (10 pts) You are going to read a magazine article about childhood experiences. For questions 55-64, answer these questions by choosing from the people (A-D).

There is an example at the beginning (0) Which person mentions Your answers Being particular close to family member? 0 C His/ her intention to act differently from a parent? 55 Enjoying the fact that something was difficult? 56 Page 5 of 10
6. A way of making sure that he/she did not leave anything out? 57 An act of great generosity? 58 An opportunity to be creative? 59 Getting in touch with people who could be of help? 60 Regret at what may have been missed? 61 Someone who found something puzzling? 62 Someone else making a decision with his/ her wellbeing in mind? 63 Learning to be more independent? 64 CHILDHOOD MEMORIES Four successful people look back at significant events in their childhood A COLIN When I was 11 years old, my dad inherited quite a large amount of money from a distant relative. It was typical of him that he decided to use the money to take a whole party of local kids to Disneyland in Florida for three days. Fortunately, I was able to go as well, which was tremendous. In those days, you had to buy tickets for each ride and so we made a checklist of them all and ticked them off one by one until we’d been on every one. They still had a donkey train and a canoe ride back then. My friend Eric bought a funny hat with his name on the front and kept wondering how, all over Disneyland, random people knew his name and kept saying, ‘Hi, Eric!’ My family will never let me forget how I ordered a bowl of potato chips on room service at the motel, which cost them a staggering $20. They were good chips, though! B MARYLIN Most teenagers’ parents have normal jobs, you know like working in an office or being part of a company, but not my mum. She lives for her work and makes spur- of-the-moment decisions. When I was a teenager, it almost felt as if I was the parent and she was the child, as I tried to talk her out of whatever her latest scheme involved. You see, my mum’s an archaeologist. She travels round the world finding exciting things n old ruins, and because she was always on the move, so was I! Sometimes I used to wonder if we’d ever settle down and lead a normal family life, but we never did, which is a shame really. Of course, now I’m going to make sure that I don’t do the same to my daughter. C JEREMY I suppose being twins, my brother and I were always regarded as a single unit and we did do everything together. From an early age, we were into inventing things, especially things which exploded like rockets, although I don’t ever recall any actually leaving the ground. We were keen on Maths at school and bought a computer when we were 11 years old. It was the best time for getting into computers because there was very little software about in those days, so if you wanted to make the computer do anything, you had to write it yourself. Before long, we were selling the stuff we’d written to software companies. I don’t think we knew how to turn our interest into money at that stage, having no commercial experience. But we soon found plenty of people who did know, but who couldn’t handle the technical side. We haven’t looked back since. Page 6 of 10
7. D TANYA When I was a teenager, my parents used to send my brother and me off on a week- long summer activity camp each year. Actually, we went to the same place five years running. I think it was because they wanted us to do something outdoors rather than have us sitting in front of a computer screen at home. And it was certainly challenging, if you consider we learnt to do things like climbing and caving. It wouldn’t suit all kids, but for us it was great. We found out how to fend for ourselves and we met lots of people from around the world. I’m still in touch with some of them by e-mail even now. Looking back, I guess it cost my parents a lot of money, but as far as I’m concerned it was a good investment because it really broadened my horizons. Part 4. (10 pts) You are going to read a newspaper article about fitness training for footballers. Choose the most suitable heading A-H for each part (65-69) of the article. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning of this article (00). Write your answer on YOUR ANSWERS part. A A break with tradition B A chance to make a good impression C Gradual acceptance D An established idea E A fortunate coincidence F A positive first response G Comparing approaches H Under expert guidance 00 H In a room beneath a football stadium in Sheffield, a city in the north of England, the teenagers who hope to be the football stars of tomorrow are dancing up and down, balancing on one leg and performing various steps and hops to the jazz music of Robbie Williams. Dressed in the traditional red and white strips of the local professional football club, members of the club’s youth team are being coached by Jane McClaren, a fully- trained jazz dancer 65 The dance and football programme in Sheffield came about as a result of a meeting between local football coaches and professional dancers. The aim was to share ideas on fitness and training and see how experts in different fields dealt with similar problems. The programme that followed has been so successful that other teams are now considering setting up similar schemes 66 The idea for the meeting came originally from Mileva Drljaca, a specialist in contemporary dance. As she recalls, it happened quite by chance: ‘I joined a gym which, it turned out, was also being used by injured players from the local professional football team. As I watched, I realised that some of the training techniques used by ballet dancers might help them towards recovery, and so I mentioned it to their trainer’ 67 Page 7 of 10
8. It is mainly thanks to her suggestion that football clubs are now discovering the concept of the ‘strong center’, one familiar to dancers for decades. ‘Both traditional and modern dance styles rely on strong stomach muscles,’ she explains. ‘You can prevent injury to the back and make it loose by having a strong center. Footballers need a loose back so that they can kick and twist, jump and head the ball, and then land without injury.’ 68 17-year-old Lewis Killeen, one of the young players, was an instant convert. ‘I’m not really into dancing and don’t go to discos,’ he said. ‘But as soon as I started doing it, I could see how it would help. The movements are very similar to those we do in football, especially when you have to turn quickly with the ball.’ 69 According to the club’s trainer, however, the initial reaction of most players to the new idea was more cautious. Some of them were obviously worried that they might be laughed at. But having tried it, most began to see the advantages of the programme. ‘They realise there are benefits to gain from other disciplines,’ he said. ‘And anything that improves balance, co-ordination and overall fitness must be a good thing.’ Young players at the club are now also being taught rock climbing and swimming as an extension of the scheme.
