At that time such a car was cost about £30.000. This 07 07 meant that I could only to dream of owning or driving 08 08 one. After a moment’s hesitation, I knocked on his door and 09 09 waited.

ANSWERS: 11. 16. 12. 17. 13. 18. 14. 19. 15. 20 PART III: READING (4 points) Question 1: Read the following advertisement and choose the best answer. Outstanding opportunity with local real estate corporation. Requires strong background in real estate, financing, closing. Some legal training helpful. Prefer candidate with M.A and two or more years of successful real estate experience. Broker's license required. Salary range $8,000 - $12,000 commensurate with education and experience. Begin immediately. Interview will be conducted Tuesday and Thursday, June 10 and 12. Call for an appointment 243-1153, or send a letter of application and résume´ to: Personal Department Executive Real Estate Corporation 500 Capital Avenue Lawrence, Kansas 67884 1.

A summary of work experience D. A request for employment 4. This passage would most probably be found in _________ A. the classified section of a newspaper B. a college catalog C. a textbook or a coursebook D. a dictionary ANSWERS: 1. 2. 3. 4. Question 2: Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-H for each part (1-6) of the article. There is an example at the beginning (0). A In investment to get excited about B There's money to be made C The two winners D Even winners can be losers E Cutting down the risk F A popular pastime in Britain G The cheaper the successful 0. A There must be wiser investments, but it’s doubtful whether many will provide the same sort of excitement. If you’re looking for financial adventure, forget your savings accounts — let your money go to the dogs. 1. Greyhound racing might he suffering from an image problem, but the dogs still have their fans. After football, it is the second biggest spectator sport in Britain. More than 70,000 races are run each year, watched by 4 million people. And more than £2 billion is spent each year on betting. 2. In the past two years, two greyhounds — Some Picture and Tom’s the Best — were candidates for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. However, in both cases the award went to a human. What a shame! 3. But there are significant financial rewards on offer if your dog turns out to be a champion. For instance, if it wins the English, Irish or Scottish Derby, you collect £50,000 in prize money. However, this is very little compared to what you can make on breeding. This can add up to total earnings in excess of £350,000 over seven years. 4. To avoid the uncertainty, some owners prefer to buy a dog that has proved itself and is ready to run. The cost, though, is around £3,000, even at the bottom end of the market, and some rich enthusiasts have been known to pay up to £25,000 for a promising young dog. 5. 6/12
However, some of the cheaper buys are surprisingly successful. Two years ago, a dog called Stows Val. which had cost its owner £500, ran in the finals of the English Derby. This season a dog called Cee Kay fo bought r £1,500 has already won its owner £20,000 in prize money. 6. Even if your dog does start winning, it is unlikely that you’ll be taking early retirement. Normal races at stadiums such as Walthamstow and Wimbledon net the winner no more than £50-100, and as a greyhound usually races once every ten days or so, this isn’t enough to pay for its upkeep, even if it wins regularly. ANSWERS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Question3: Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer for each question. The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately two million B.C and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages. During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about one million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and developed new tools. During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C), people made crude pottery and the first fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which was used until the fourteenth century A.D. The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than in previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and creating governments. 1.

Read the passage and then choose the best answer for each question, from 31 to 35 Smoking is not as common in American as in many other countries. Generally, Americans smoke less than Europeans and much less than Asians. It is a practice that is becoming less and less socially acceptable. Smoking is prohibited in many places. It is not allowed in any public buildings, on any public transportation (including airplane flights within the United State), in shops, in movies theaters, schools, and office buildings. The general rule is if you are indoors, then you probably are not allowed to smoke. The exceptions are bars, nightclubs, and some restaurants. If a restaurant does allow smoking, it will only be in an area that is designated for smokers. If you are with someone, even outdoors, it is courteous to ask if they mind before you start smoking. The legal smoking age in America is 18. If you are buying cigarettes (or another tobacco product) and you look young, the store clerk is required by law to ask you for proof of legal age.
