TIE) to a form of language that makes (52. MEASURE) assessment difficult and causes ill feeling by its very nature. Just as player—manager relations (53. CONDUCT) in the (54. OUTDATE) language of the traditional factory floor, so the terminology (55. USE) (56. DESCRIBE) changing jobs, ‘buying’ and ‘selling’ players, (57. DISTORT) the reality. Both sides suffer from this: the management accuses some players of greed or disloyalty, while the players feel the club (58. TREAT) them cynically, as if they were disposable objects. In the real world, though, people move from one job to another all the time. They (59. NOT BUY) or (60. SELL), they resign, sign a new country with another business, have a change. Sometimes, if they have signed a long-term contract, their old employers refuse to let them go, or demand (61. COMPENSATE). In fact, life in the corporate world is generally less well paid, less secure and more demanding than it is in the world of professional football. The resentment that players feel about (62. SELL), (63. PROBABLY CREATE) more by the language used to describe the process than by the process itself. This all has a tendency (64. DESCEND) into stereotypes: the gentleman chairman who considers himself a good model of good business behaviour, and the hypersensitive player who thinks he (65. TREAT) as a disposable commodity.

There is little to disagree about in the notion that a good voice, whether in opera or rock music, is one that moves its audience and brings a sense of release and fulfilment to the singer. But contemporary pop and rock music have come about due to (66. SUBSTANCE) advances in technology. Here, the impact of the microphone should not be (67. ESTIMATE), as it has (68. ABLE) the magnification of quiet, intimate sounds. This, in turn, allows, the singer to experiment with the (69. EMPHATIC) on mood rather than on strict (70. ADHERE) to proper breathing and voice control. Donna Soto–Morettin, a rock and jazz vocal trainer, feels that (71. ANATOMY) reasons may account for the raspy sound produced by certain rock singers. Her (72. SUSPECT) is that swollen vocal chords, which do not close properly, may allow singers to produce deeper notes. She does not, however, regard this as detracting (73. NOTICE) from the value of the sound produced. Singing, she maintains, has an almost (74. SEDUCE) quality and so our response to it has more (75. SIGNIFY) than its technical qualities. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. Part 8. In most lines of the following text, there is one extra word. Identify this word by underlining and writing it in the column on the right. Some lines, however, are correct. Put a tick (  ) in the right column to indicate them. Stainless steel was discovered by an accident in 1913 by the British metallurgist Harry Brearley. He was experimenting with steeling alloys—combinations of metals—that they would be suitable for making gun barrels. A few months later he had noticed that most of his rejected specimens had rusted although one was containing 14 percent chromium had not. The discovery led to the development of stainless steel. Ordinary steel goes rusts because it reacts easily with oxygen in the air to produce crumbly red oxides. Other materials, such as aluminium, nickel and chromium, also react in a much the same way but their oxides form an impermeable surface layer, stopping oxygen to reacting with the metal underneath. With Brearley’s steel, the chromium formed such as a film, protecting the metal from further attack, and the whole success of stainless steel is based well on the fact that it has this one unique advantage. In fact, a variety of stainless steels are now made. One of the commonest contains of 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel and is used for kitchen sinks. Kitchen knives are made of steel containing about 13 percent chromium. A more corrosion–resistant alloy is achieved by adding up an incredibly small amount of the metal molybdenum—these steels are used as cladding for buildings. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90.

For more than century, robberies of every kinds have plagued nations around the world. Bank and house robberies were common occurrence. As many were caught so those who were not and over the year, many continued to turn to these get rich quick methods. Despite the nature of these ‘occupation’, media reports glorified the ingenious ways the robbers managed to escape with loot. Then, films, too, were made about famous robberies and criminals were turned for celebrities. More and more people began robbing houses and banks and its techniques became more sophisticating, making it close to impossible for them to get caught. To compound this problem, many robbers returned to their countries where they were no rules of extraditions. As a result, many of them simply returned to their home countries to prevent the foreign countries from punishing them. 0. century  a century 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100 SECTION THREE. READING Part 10. Choose the word that best fits each of the blanks in the following passage. Write your answers in the numbered box. Roaring across the bay in a motorised rubber boat, we were told by the captain to (101) our eyes open. With the engine turned off, it was not long before half a dozen dolphins (102) swimming around us. Eventually, two came up (103) beside the boat and popped their heads out of the water to give us a wide grin. Dolphin watching was just one of the many unexpected attractions of a holiday in South Carolina, in the USA. The state has long been popular with golfers and, with dozens of (104) in the area, it is (105) a golfer’s paradise. But even the keenest golfer needs other diversions and we soon found the resorts had plenty to (106). In fact, Charleston, which is midway along the (107), is one of the most interesting cities in the USA, and is where the first shots in the Civil War were (108). Taking a guided horse and carriage tour through the quiet back streets you get a real (109) of the city’s past. Strict regulations (110) to buildings so that original (111) are preserved. South of Charleston lies Hilton Head, an island resort about 18kkm long and (112) like a foot. It has a fantastic sandy beach (113) the length of the island and this is perfect for all (114) of water sports.

Everybody looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress signifies a person’s ability to reshape the way he is living at the moment. The collective elucidation given to change from the lower and upper echelons of society is something that is positive and can only have rewarding outcomes. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to embrace technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things. However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the good old days, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes more productive, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes. With these new communication gadgets, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional trait of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off. With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialisation today. Factories have improved efficiency. Menial tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts are now produced in a factory. Although this means that the supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production prunes the quality of the handicrafts and it is difficult to seek peerless designs on each item. Many tourists opt to visit the indigenous people in their natural habitats and purchase souvenirs from them than from the shops amidst the cities. Perhaps, blood, sweat and tears do make a difference to what is being produced. Nonetheless, we must not commit the mistake of analysing progress only from one point of view. Ironically, it is progress that has allowed tradition to persevere. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be refurnished to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old. Vinyl records are a classic example. Many might have been destroyed if not for the ability to store them properly. Additionally, players for these records have also been restored. They look and work exactly like their original state but it is technology that has given them this new lease of life. It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of impact that technology has on society. Technology is versatile. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s mindset. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. We can reminisce about the past but lamenting the effects of progress will cause the past to stagnate in our minds. When we embrace progress and adapt it to suit out needs, a new ‘past’ is created.

If Heather should return now, of course, or even five minutes from now, it would still be all right. Harry’s thought that he might never see her again could then be dismissed as a delusion, an absurd over- reaction to an excess of solitude and silence. And from the notion that, at any second, Heather would return, calling to him as she came down the track, part of his mind could not be dislodged: the orderly, the housetrained, rational part. 128. To spend half an hour sitting on a fallen tree trunk halfway up a pine-forested mountainside, whilst the warm glow of the afternoon sun faded towards a dusty chill and silence—absolute, windless, pitiless silence—quarried at the nerves, was enough to test anyone’s self–control. He wished now that he had gone with her to the summit, or stayed in the car and listened to the radio. Either way he should really have known better than to wait where he was. He took a deep breath. fitis Ilias made itself known. Silence, he rather thought, was at the bedrock of its mood. Silence the empty hotel and the ruined villas in the woods around seemed merely to magnify, as if abandoned habitations were worse than no habitations at all. 131. For he could not help remembering that, when they had first left the car and strolled down to admire the view the hotel commanded, he had glanced up at the wooden balconies and red-painted shutters that gave the building its stolid, alpine quality—and seen a figure withdraw abruptly from one of the unshuttered first floor window. 132. It had been a stiff climb from the hotel up the uneven, overgrown path towards the summit, and Heather had set a sharp pace. Out of breath and far from his normal stamping grounds, Harry had been willing enough, in the circumstances, to stop at a point where a fallen tree blocked their route while she went on to the top. 129. Nor, if the truth be told, did he ever want to again. Two hours ago, he and Heather had been basking in the sun just down the coast. Now even visualising the scene was difficult, for Profitis Ilias possessed the power to consign every memory and perception beyond its own domain to half-forgotten remoteness. And Profitis Ilias had been Heather’s choice. “We could drive up there in half an hour from here,” she had said. “It is a fantastic place. Deserted old Italian villas. And stupendous views. You must see it.” 130. At first Harry had detected nothing amiss in the growing isolation. It was not until they had reached the hotel that the road served and found it, as expected, closed for the winter, that the character of Pro- 133. Peace of mind, he reckoned now, had lasted no longer than a minute or two. Since then, his thoughts had ranged over many subjects, but always they had returned to what in his surroundings adamantly refused to be ignored: silence so total that the ears invited a half- heard chorus of whispering voices in the trees around, silence so complete that his straining senses insisted that somewhere, above or around him, something must be watching him. 134. Or he could follow the path to the top, in case she was in some difficulty or had simply lost track of time. That, he concluded, was really the only choice open to him. He started along it, feeling at once the relief that action brings after the suspense of indecision. Choose from the paragraphs A–H the one which best fits each gap (128–134). There is one extra paragraph that you do not need to use. A Harry had felt no such obligation, preferring the décor of a dozen cafés he could think of to any vista of nature, however supposedly breathtaking. Nevertheless, he had raised no objection. And so they had come, driving up the winding road through the village of Salakos, till all the other traffic was left behind and only the limitless ranks of pine and fir stood witness to their progress. E It was only in the chaotic realm of instinct and sensation that a contrary suspicion had taken root, only, as it were, in the part of himself that he did not care to acknowledge. Besides, Harry had every justification for blaming his anxious state on the position in which he found himself. B Two months ago, the hotel would still have been open for the season, the children of its guests playing in the grounds, perhaps even climbing on the very tree trunk where Harry sat. It was surprising to discover how uncomfortable he found it to be alone. If, that is, he was alone. F At the time, he had dismissed it as a trick of the light, but now the memory added its weight to all the other anxieties by which he was beset. Why had she not returned? She had seemed so confident, so reassuringly certain that she would be back before he had had a chance to miss her. C “Take the keys,” she had said, “in case you want to go back to the car.” Then she had added, noticing his frown: “Don’t worry. I will not be long. I cannot turn back now, can I?” And so saying, she had scrambled up round the tree, smiled back at him once, and then gone on. Nearly an hour ago, and seemingly a world away, that last smile beckoned to Haran from up the wooded slope. G But first he had to find Heather. Dismayed by how reluctant he felt to shout her name aloud, he began to follow the path, still faithfully bordered with flints, as it twisted along the ridge between outcrops of rock and gnarled, wind-carved cedars. If she had kept to the path, he could not fail to find her. But if she had not— D Harry looked at his watch. It was nearly four o’clock, which meant that there was little more than an hour of daylight left. He could return to the car, in case Heather had done so herself by a different route. He could stay where he was, on the grounds that that was where she would expect to find him. But one glance around reminded him that he could bear to remain there no longer. H It was growing cold now in the shadow of the mountain, yet the costal plain below was still bathed in warm, golden sunlight. Only here, on the thickly conifered slope, could the waning of the day no longer be ignored. Why had she not returned? She could scarcely be lost, not with the guidebook and a compass. After all, she had been to Profitis Ilias before, which Harry never had. Part 13. Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one suitable word.
