(5p.)Line 1234567891011121314151617Skiing is one of the most popular sports in the world. According torecent estimation, about one hundred million of people ski regularly oroccasionally.Sliding across the snow on skis is also one of the most ancientmethods of transport known to the man. It has demonstrated that men werealready traveling across the snow by means of primitive skis before theinvention of the wheel. In the Asiatic region of Altai and in Scandinavia,for example, the remains of skis have been found which dated back to4,000 BC. Further evidence is supplied by ancient cave paintings whichdepict people skiing, and a Norwegian saga which tells the story of aninvasion of its territory 8,000 years ago by a tribe of skiers who came fromthe north.Nowadays, skiing, apart from a sport, has become a big industry and anotable feature of leisure culture. Ski resorts and all the activity that theygenerate is the main source of wealth in many mountain regions, whichwere previously remote and inaccessible. And far from its once elitistimage, skiing is now enjoyed by an increasingly broader spectra of society.4

PART THREE: READING (30p.)Question 1. Read the following passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D for eachquestion. Write your answers in the space provided. (10p.)We are descendents of the ice age. Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole ofhuman existence for the past 2 million years. The rapid melting of the continental glaciers atthe end of the last ice age spurred one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history ofthe planet. During this interglacial time, people were caught up in a cataclysm of humanaccomplishment, including the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Over thepast few thousand years, the Earth’s climate has been extraordinarily beneficial, and humanshave prospered exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere.Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning. It iseven possible that life itself significantly changed the climate. All living organisms pullcarbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within theEarth’s crust. If too much carbon dioxide is lost, too much heat escapes out into theatmosphere. This can cause the Earth to cool enough for glacial ice to spread across the land.In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has beenequalized by the input of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions. Man,however, is upsetting the equation by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests,both of which release stored carbon dioxide. This energizes the greenhouse effect and causesthe Earth to warm. If the warming is significant enough, the polar ice caps eventually melt.The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. Should theice caps melt, warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm,inhospitable planet.Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches,mainly because of the melting of glacial ice. If present warming trends continue, the seascould rise as much as 6 feet by the next century. This could flood coastal cities and fertileriver deltas, where half the human population lives. Delicate wetlands, where many marinespecies breed, also would be reclaimed by the sea. In addition, more frequent and severestorms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of the higher seas.The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massiveamounts of ice to crash into the ocean. This would further raise the sea level and release moreice, which could more than double the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly theamount of sunlight reflected back into space. The cycle would then be complete as this couldcause global temperatures to drop enough to initiate another ice age.1. According to the passage, carbon dioxide is stored in each of the following EXCEPT8

A. polar ice caps. B. sedimentary rocks. C. rain forests. D. fossil fuel.2. What does the final paragraph of the passage mainly discuss?A. The relationship between the ocean and the sunB. The amount of sunlight reflected into spaceC. A rise in global temperaturesD. The conditions that could lead to an ice age3. Which of the following does the author NOT mention as a consequence of a large rise inglobal sea level?A. The destruction of wetlands B. The flooding of citiesC. A more diverse marine population D. Severe storms4. According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’sclimate?A. Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperaturescause the ice melt.B. The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too muchcarbon stored in the Earth’s crust.C. Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean.D. An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate.5. The word beneficial in the first paragraph is closest in meaning toA. calm B. inviting C. thoughtful D. favorable6. The word massive can be replaced toA. wide B. huge C. dense D. thick7. It can be inferred from the passage that the development of agricultureA. preceded the development of animal husbandry.B. withstood vast changes in the Earth’s climate.C. did not take place during an ice age.D. was unaffected by the greenhouse effect.8. The word “this” in the third paragraph refers toA. man’s upsetting the equation B. the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide.C. a volcanic eruption D. the melting of the polar ice caps9. The word “inhospitable” is closest in meaning toA. imperfect. B. uninhabitable. C. unlikable D. cruel.10. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The possibility that the popular ice caps will meltB. The coming of another ice ageC. Man’s effect on the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphereD. The climate of the Earth over the yearsYour answers:9

Question 3. Match each of the following headings with its suitable paragraph. The firstone (0: H) as an example has been done for you. There are two extra headings which youdo not need to use. Write your answers in the space provided. (5p.)A. Research holds the key to success B. New and improved techniquesC. A new kind of athlete D. New equipment has made a differenceE. Athletes are what they eat F. Personalized programs will helpG. The influence of drugs H. Is there a limit to record-breaking?[0: ___H __]A world record is every athlete’s dream, but the hard-won records of a few years ago aremostly just today’s qualifying times. Roger Bannister’s famous four-minute mile of 1956 hasbeen beaten by nearly 15 seconds, while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been takenoff the women’s marathon since 1953. ‘Faster, higher, stronger’ is the Olympic motto, andtoday’s competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve. Butone wonders if this can continue.[1: ______ ]The last forty years have seen many important technological advances. For example, sincethe introduction of strong, flexible fiberglass poles, over a meter has been added to the polevault record. There have also been important developments in the design the running shoe.And while a shoe won’t actually make someone run faster, modern shoes do mean manymore miles of comfortable, injury-free training.[2: ______ ]Pushing back the limits now depends more on science, technology and medicine thananything else. Athletic technique, training programs and diets are all being studied to findways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more cm to that elusive world record.It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.[3: ______ ]The search to find more efficient ways of moving goes on. Analysis of an athlete’s style isparticularly useful for events like jumping and throwing. Studies show that long jumpersneed to concentrate not on the speed of approach, as once thought, but on the angle theirbodies make with the ground as they take off. However, the rules governing each sport limitadvances achieved by new styles. For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in thehigh jump.11

[4: ______ ]In the future, it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to trainingprograms. Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point whentraining becomes overtraining, the cause of many injuries. If athletes fee all the informationinto a database, it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individuallywhen they should cut down.[5: ______ ]Combining the right diet with a training program is vital. Athletes are continually searchingfor that special ‘go-faster’ ingredient, but apparently it’s still a battle to get them to drinksufficient liquid and to follow a balanced healthy diet throughout all phases of training,competition and recovery. Diet in the period after an event is particularly important and oftenneglected. An athlete who doesn’t replace all the liquid lost immediately after a hard runwon’t be able to repeat the performance at the same level 24 hours later.Your answers1. 2. 3. 4. 5.Question 4.
