(A, B, C, or D) for each question Write your answer in the numbered boxes The green building movement is changing the way buildings are constructed This movement started in the 1970s, as people began to see that modern life was destroying the environment we all share Natural resources were being destroyed, energy and water consumption was rising, and so was pollution of all kinds This environmental destruction has continued, and one important factor has been the way that buildings are constructed In fact, energy use in buildings represents about 32 percent of all energy use in the United States In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic Now, however, the green building movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology and as the costs of this technology have gone down Environmental building methods are now practical enough to save money for builders and for building owners, even as they reduce damage to the environment First, green builders try to make use of recycled materials as much as possible In fact, vast amounts of materials such as steel, cement, and wood are used in construction Now there are companies that specialize in gathering old materials, processing them, and selling them to builders for new buildings States and cities are encouraging these companies, as the reuse of materials also means less waste in dumps For larger builders or individual homeowners, it is possible to find everything from steel and cement to doors, windows, sinks, tubs, brick, and hardware Another way that builders can reduce environmental impact is to reduce the energy requirements of a building This can be done in several ways One is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy The first alternative energy source to be developed was solar power With solar panels-wide, flat sheets of special material-it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun Builders can install solar panels on the roofs of buildings and connect them to cooling or lighting systems Once the panels are installed, they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution Another, non-polluting solution for reducing energy use is a technology known as geothermal heating To obtain geothermal heat, builders place special pipes below ground, where temperatures remain constant all year In the winter, the earth's natural heat can be collected in these pipes, and then transferred into the building's heating system In the summer, heat in the building can be collected and sent to the pipes underground According to the passage, all of the following leads to environmental destruction EXCEPT _ A the increasing number of buildings B the increase of water consumption C the increase of energy consumption D the destruction of natural resources The way buildings are constructed in America also contributes to A water pollution B air pollution C the use of water D environmental destruction The early years, it was believed that the use of green buildings to reduce environmental destruction was A impractical B authentic C unique D feasible One of the reasons why green buildings were not popular is that A they took too much time to build B they were inconvenient C they were costly to build D they looked too boring The phrase "green building" in the passage can also be understood as _ A environment-friendly buildings B buildings with tree inside C buildings with open stairs D buildings painted green The phrase "green builders" in the first line of the second paragraph refers to those who _ A build green buildings B work in green buildings C use green materials D put trees in buildings According to the passage, all of the following can be made from recycle materials EXCEPT _ A furniture B sinks C hardware D windows The author mentioned all of the following as ways to reduce environmental destruction EXCEPT _ A providing alternative energies B using geothermal heating C using recycled materials to construct buildings D having more green plants in buildings Solar panels are NOT used to _ A light the house B cool the house C warm the house D transfer electricity to the sun rays 10 Geothermal heating technology is _ A using underground pipes to collect geothermal heat B collecting pipes from below ground C using underground pipes to control underground temperature D using up the heating energy Part 4: Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D) for each question Write your answer in the numbered boxes I shifted uncomfortably inside my best suit and eased a finger inside the tight white collar It was hot in the little bus and I had taken a seat on the wrong side where the summer sun beat on the windows It was a strange outfit for the weather, but a few miles ahead my future employer might be waiting for me and I had to make a good impression There was a lot depending on this interview Many friends who had qualified with me were unemployed or working in shops or as labourers in the shipyards So many that I had almost given up hope of any future for myself as a veterinary surgeon There were usually two or three jobs advertised in the Veterinary Record each week and an average of eighty applicants for each one It hadn’t seemed possible when the letter came from Darrowby in Yorkshire Mr.S Farnon would like to see me on the Friday afternoon; I was to come to tea and, if we were suited to each other, I could stay on as his assistant Most young people emerging from the colleges after five years of hard work were faced by a world unimpressed by their enthusiasm and bursting knowledge So I had grabbed the lifeline unbelievingly The driver crashed his gears again as we went into another steep bend We had been climbing steadily now for the last fifteen miles or so, moving closer to the distant blue of the Pennine Hills I had never been in Yorkshire before, but the name had always raised a picture of a region as heavy and unromantic as the pudding of the same name; I was prepared for solid respectability, dullness and a total lack of charm But as the bus made its way higher, I began to wonder There were high grassy hills and wide valleys In the valley bottoms, rivers twisted among the trees and solid grey stone farmhouses lay among islands of cultivated land which pushed up the wild, dark hillsides Suddenly, I realised the bus was clattering along a narrow street which opened onto a square where we stopped Above the window of a small grocer’s shop I read ‘Darrowby Co-operative Society’ We had arrived I got out and stood beside my battered suitcase, looking about me There was something unusual and I didn’t know what it was at first Then it came to me The other passengers had dispersed, the driver had switched off the engine and there was not a sound or a movement anywhere The only visible sign of life was a group of old men sitting round the clock tower in the centre of the square, but they might have been carved of stone Darrowby didn’t get much space in the guidebooks, but where it was mentioned it was described as a grey little town on the River Arrow with a market place and little of interest except its two ancient bridges But when you looked at it, its setting was beautiful Everywhere from the windows of houses in Darrowby you could see the hills There was a clearness in the air, a sense of space and airiness that made me feel I had left something behind The pressure of the city, the noise, the smoke – already they seemed to be falling away from me Trengate Street was a quiet road leading off the square and from there I had my first sight of Skeldale House I knew it was the right place before I was near enough to read S Farnon, Veterinary Surgeon on the old-fashioned brass nameplate I knew by the ivy which grew untidily over the red brick, climbing up to the topmost windows It was what the letter had said – the only house with ivy; and this could be where I would work for the first time as a veterinary surgeon I rang the doorbell As he travelled, the writer regretted his choice of A seat B clothes C career D means of transport What had surprised the writer about the job? A There had been no advertisement B He had been contacted by letter C There was an invitation to tea D He had been selected for interview The writer uses the phrase ‘I had grabbed the lifeline' to show that he felt A confident of his ability B ready to consider any offer C cautious about accepting the invitation D forced to make a decision unwillingly What impression had the writer previously had of Yorkshire? A It was a beautiful place B It was a boring place C It was a charming place D It was an unhappy place What did the writer find unusual about Darrowby? A the location of the bus stop B the small number of shops C the design of the square D the lack of activity What did the writer feel the guidebooks had missed about Darrowby? A the beauty of the houses B the importance of the bridges C the lovely views from the town D the impressive public spaces How did the writer recognise Skeldale House? A The name was on the door B It had red bricks C There was a certain plant outside D It stood alone How did the writer’s attitude change during the passage? A He began to feel he might like living in Darrowby B He became less enthusiastic about the job C He realised his journey was likely to have been a waste of time D He started to look forward to having the interview Part 5: You are going to read an article about a woman who is a downhill mountain-bike racer Six sentences have been removed from the article Choose from the sentences A – G the one which fits each gap (1 - 6) There is one extra sentence which you not need to use Write your answer in the numbered boxes Young Inventor Schoolboy Tim Freeman has come up with a clever idea to improve the efficiency of school buses Tim Freeman was just twelve years old when he came up with a revolutionary idea that would make school buses more energy efficient This would not only save money, but also help the environment Five years later, the schoolboy finally saw his dream come true It all began when Tim did a short summer course on aerodynamics, the study of the movement of air around objects (1) He realised that the perfect candidate was his school bus It had a very square front which meant it did not use petrol efficiently, only travelling 3km per litre, compared to a private car that can average about 8.5km per litre He decided it was high time the vehicle was improved After thinking about it for a while, Tim came up with the idea of attaching a large piece of strong transparent plastic to the front of the vehicle, covering the windscreen It would help redirect the flow of air around the bus and thus make it move forwards more easily (2) _ At least, that was the theory While his science teachers loved the idea, Tim needed to find enough money to build a model and test it (3) Helped by his older sister Alice, he managed to obtain a grant from an organisation that helps young people develop new ideas Over the next year, Tim used the money to build a small-scale model of his invention He did tests on it by attaching it to a mini toy school bus and seeing how it performed in a little wind tunnel he built in his garage (4) Because of this he knew he now needed to step it up and create a life-sized version that could be put to the test on a real bus By the time Tim was fifteen, he had set up a team of young engineers like himself, and been helped by his sister and his local community to obtain another grant to develop his idea further While Tim and his team were able to build the initial versions, they soon realised that they needed some expert help to really get going (5) _ The person who volunteered was the one who had inspired Tim to start thinking about the project in the first place She had taught him on the summer course when he was twelve Along with two of her engineering students she worked with Tim through the summer to finally help him realise his dream The final version of Tim’s invention looks rather different from his original idea Instead of a transparent piece of plastic that covers the windscreen of the bus, it is a smooth ramp-shaped ‘hat’ that gets fixed to the roof of the bus (6) _ In tests done on virtual and real roads it has helped increase the efficiency of school bus fuel use by 10-20% Maybe this ingenious device will eventually help other buses and even cars become more fuel-efficient! A So they began writing to local universities to see if anyone would provide the advice and knowledge they needed B This made it clear to them that the design would have to be changed C This prompted him to look for a way to use what he had learned D The data from these were good and his idea was looking promising E He knew that was the only way to see if his design really worked F This design provides the same benefits but costs less to manufacture and install G In this way, the bus would become more energy efficient IV WRITING Part 1: Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence before it 1 Even though some events were cancelled, thousands of people attended the festival → Despite the _ The manager contributes generously, so I can continue my plan → But for _ “You should have finished the report by now”, the boss said to his secretary → The boss scolded Calling Jane is pointless because her phone is out of order → There You are completely forbidden from ever using the telephone that is on the manager’s desk → Under _ Part 2: Use the word given in brackets and make any necessary additions to write a new sentence in such a way that it is as similar as possible in meaning to the original sentence Do NOT change the form of the given word You must use between three and six words, including the word given (0) has been done as an example Jane regretted speaking so rudely to the old lady (more) → Jane wishes she had spoken more politely to the old lady They sometimes tell the people who arrive late that they can't enter the theatre (prevented) → People arriving late the theatre Do you realise we might lose our funding for the project (danger) → Do you realise our funding for the project?
