4 II READING COMPREHENSION 30 / Part One Read the text. For questions 1-8 circle the answer (A,B,C or D) which you think is correct according to the test. For question 9 write your answer on the line. NASA global warming satellite crashes after launch A NASA mission to monitor global warming from space ended Tuesday when a satellite plunged into the ocean near Antarctica minutes after launch. The loss of the $280 million mission came a month after Japan launched the world's first spacecraft to track global warming emissions. The failure dealt a blow to NASA, which had hoped to send up its own satellite to measure carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas behind human-caused global warming. The crash came just after liftoff from the Vandenberg Air Force Base on California's central coast. A Taurus XL rocket carrying the Orbiting Carbon Observatory blasted off as scheduled shortly before 2 a.m. Three minutes into the flight, the nose cone protecting the satellite failed to come off as designed, NASA officials said. The extra weight from the cover caused the rocket to dive back to Earth, splashing into the ocean near Antarctica, where a group of environment ministers from more than a dozen countries met Monday to get the latest science on global warming. "Certainly for the science community it's a huge disappointment," said John Brunschwyler, Taurus project manager for Orbital Sciences Corp., which built the rocket and satellite. "It's taken so long to get here." The 986-pound satellite was supposed to be placed into a polar orbit some 400 miles high. The project was nine years in the making, and the mission was supposed to last two years. The observatory was NASA's first satellite dedicated to monitoring carbon dioxide on a global scale. Measurements collected by the satellite were expected to improve climate models and help researchers determine where the greenhouse gas originates and how much is being absorbed by forests and oceans. 4

5 "Wow! Bad news this morning," said Scott Denning, an atmospheric science professor at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo., and a member of the team that planned to analyze data from the satellite. "We put years into getting ready for this." Carbon dioxide is the leading greenhouse gas and its buildup helps trap heat from the sun, causing potentially dangerous warming of the planet. Scientists now depend on 282 land-based stations - and scattered instrumented aircraft flights - to monitor carbon dioxide at low altitudes. Engineers will look at existing spacecraft parts to see if it makes sense to build another carbon observatory, said Mike Freilich, Earth science division director at NASA headquarters. A team of experts will investigate the loss of the satellite. It's the first launch failure for the Virginia-based Orbital Sciences since That year, a NASA ozone monitoring satellite and a cargo of human ashes aboard a Taurus XL fell into the Indian Ocean after veering off course during launch. Orbital's Brunschwyler said the company has a "nearly perfect" launch record and has not had any previous problems with its clamshell nose cone design. Tuesday's failure put on hold the summer launch of another NASA satellite Glory designed to measure soot and aerosols in the atmosphere, said launch manager Charles Dovale. Carbon dioxide emissions rose 3 percent worldwide from 2006 to 2007, according to international science agencies. Adapted from The Associated Press 1.

7 Part Two Read the text. For questions 1-5 circle the answer (A,B,C or D) which you think is correct according to the test. For question 6 write your answer on the line. Teenage drinking leads to bad teeth A study of the dietary habits of over year olds in Birmingham found those who drank heavily were more likely to suffer from dental erosion. This is a chemical dissolving of the teeth which first affects the enamel and then the dentine underneath. The threat can be minimised by good dental hygiene, including brushing the teeth twice a day to remove traces of acid. The condition was also linked to a high intake of acidic foods and drinks, including fizzy drinks, fruit, and ketchup and to vitamin C tablets. Lead researcher Dr Linda Shaw said patients with bad dental erosion may have to have their teeth crowned. She had seen children who had exposed the nerve in their tooth because the erosion was so bad. The effects cannot be reversed. Dr Shaw said: "Most children weren't aware of the effects of eating acidic foods and drinks." The researchers found 21% of the teenagers drank some wine and 15% some spirits every week. But 3% said they drank beer or cider between eight and 21 times a week. The majority of drinkers were boys, making up 59% of those who drank cider. Almost 80% of the children who responded to the anonymous survey said they did not consume any drinks at all. Dr Shaw told BBC News Online: "There was a significant link between alcohol consumption in 14-year-olds and dental erosion." A spokeswoman for the charity Alcohol Concern said: "Alcohol contributes to a whole range of diseases and young people need to be aware of the harm that alcohol can cause." The researchers, from Birmingham University, also looked at consumption of soft drinks and found there was a strong link between dental erosion and the consumption of cola and other fizzy drinks, apple juice, and sports drinks. Around 80% said they drank orange squash, cola and other fizzy drinks at some point during the week. Although half had less than seven drinks a week, 13% had more than 22 drinks in a week. 7

8 More boys than girls drank cola. Fruit, which is acidic, is also linked to dental erosion, but is only a problem if eaten in unusually large amounts. It was eaten regularly by two thirds of the children. The most common choice was apples. Vegetarian diets were also highlighted because they tend to contain more acidic items. But Dr Shaw said: "Vegetarians do consume more fruit and vegetables, but considerably less fizzy drinks, less cola and less alcohol." After the research was carried out, work on a public health message on dental health for teenagers began. Adapted from The Associated Press 1. Dental erosion is a gradual dissolving of dental nerves. a. True b. False 2. According to the researchers on dental health, vegetarian diets are highly recommended. a. True b. False 3. Young people are unaware of the effects of alcohol drinking on their teeth. a. True b. False 4. According to the text a. A large amount of fruit is acidic b. Fruit is acidic only in large amounts c. Unusually large amounts of fruit lead to dental erosion d. Unusually large amounts of fruit were eaten regularly by two thirds of the children 5. The word reversed in line 11 is closest in meaning to a. Withdrawn b. Returned c. Replaced d. Advanced 6. Find in the text (paragraphs 1-3) the word which is closest in meaning to the word consequences. 8

9 III USE OF ENGLISH 30 / Part 1 Read the text and write the correct forms of the verbs in brackets. Egypt in the post-napoleonic era led the way out of the impasse. (1) (impress) by Europe s superiority in arms, technology and economy, Egypt s viceroy Muhammad Ali ( ) embarked on a new procedure: he sent students to Europe to study and invited specialists from Europe (2) (share) their skills with Egypt. Between 1826 and 1834 more than a hundred students went abroad, mainly to France. In 1828 a French physician (3) (invite) to establish a school of medicine in Cairo, the first scientific institution in the entire area and still active. (4) (follow) the example of Napoleon, who on his way (5) (plunder) an Arabic printing press from the Vatican for publicizing his mission in Egypt, Muhhamad Ali (6) (found) in his capital a press that is still the official Egyptian one. Books (7) (translate) and published. Newspapers, learned societies, and schools made their appearance. The break with the past (8) (be) under way. In their forty-year occupation the British made no attempt to update the educational system, although they did generate a congenial climate for the expression of free thought which attracted intellectuals, particularly from Lebanon. Note: impasse: a situatuion in which no progress takes place; viceroy: government official who acts for the king; 9

10 Part 2 Read the text and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) to fill in the gap. Some (1) myths about the history of the family are being destroyed. We used to think that before the industrial revolution, extended kin networks (2) several generations generally lived together under the same roof. The nuclear family consisting of husband, wife, and children by themselves was pictured as a (3) recent creation, itself a major symptom of family breakdown. But now we know that the nuclear family has been the norm (4) American history, from earliest colonial times, and in England as well since (5) the sixteenth century. In fact, some scholars question whether extended kin networks have ever normally bedded down together no matter how far back one goes in the record of Western Europe. In this important sense, there has been (6) less change than one might have imagined. Indeed, some (7) exists more in England than in America that the first phase of industrialization brought families closer together, as relatives huddled in closely shared quarters to pool their scant resources. 1 A profane B sacred C respecting D disrespectful 2 A omitting B excluding C spanning D consisting 3 A hardly B distinctly C distinct D complete 4 A about B around C throughout D inside 5 A at least B at last C last D least 6 A many B more C far D great 7 A matter B evidence C imagination D proofs 10

11 Part 3 Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the words in brackets, positive or negative. Most research on the aggressive behaviour of preschool children has been based either on observations made under the conditions in nursery schools and day (1) (care) centers or on the (frequently biased) reports of mothers. A child s pattern of aggression at home may differ (2) (significance) from his behaviour under laboratory conditions. Nevertheless, it is posssible to make a number of useful (3) (generalize) about aggression in the preschooler. Aggressive behaviour generally occurs in reaction to emotional states such as frustration, overstimulation, or (4) (lose) of attention. As the child matures, behaviour is (5) (increase) influenced by interaction with other children and adults. 11

12 Part 4 Transform the following sentences by using the given word(s) so that they have a similar meaning. You can use no more than six words including the given word. 1. I am sure that Julie has seen that movie. It s been on for a long time. MUST Julie that movie. 2. You have to start studying if you want to pass the exam. YOU It s high time if you want to pass the exam. 3. I m sorry, but Mary cannot go out now. She has to take care of her younger sister while I m preparing lunch. MARY If only take care of her younger sister now. 4. Jenny is sad because she can t play the flute as well as Kate. WISH Jenny as well as Kate. 5. John has not arrived yet. Perhaps, he has missed the bus. MAY John has not arrived yet. He. 12

13 Part 5 For questions 1-5 read the text below and think of the word which best fits each space. Use only one word in each space. Read the text through to check that it makes sense with the gaps filled. Almost 20% of the population of Western Europe 80 million citizens in all are subject to noise pollution at a level which scientists (1)c to be unacceptable. These additional decibels not only disturb sleep, they also lead to hearing or even cardiovascular problems. What is more, noise pollution is continuing to (2)i. Although cars have cut their decibels (3)b 85% over the past 20 years, the benefits have been counterbalanced by the increased traffic volume. The Commission to the Council and European Parliament is proposing a new (4)l framework for reviewing the existing legislation; it is more specifically based on the need to (5)p the environment and public health and on a systematic campaign to reduce noise pollution. 13

16 KEY I LISTENING COMPREHENSION You ll hear an interview with Angelina Jolie, who has been in the headlines of late as much for her adoption of Vietnamese boy Pax Thien, her third adopted child, as for her acting exploits. The 32-year-old Angelina talks about her evolving role as a mother, about her acting, humanitarian work, her relationship with fellow Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt, and discusses the personal and political lessons she learned during the filming of her new movie A Mighty Heart in which she plays the wife of American journalist Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and be-headed by terrorists in Pakistan in For sentences 1-10, decide if each statement is TRUE or FALSE by putting a tick ( ) in the appropriate box. How do you juggle everything you do, and still be a mum? Angelina Jolie: Well, we have the finances to have support and that's the truth of it. Any single woman on her own with kids, God bless her because that is hard. I have Brad helping me and we have a lot of people even just at airports, helping us get through. We do have a lot of support, so we're very lucky. We have it easier than a lot of people but certainly we do have to catch ourselves. Is it more fun too, having Brad in your life now? Angelina Jolie: Yes. Raising kids is a very hard thing to do and it's also a great joy. But it is so much easier when you have somebody who is supporting you through it. You need someone you can look over and smile at when something goes totally crazy; someone who is remembering this time with you. It's something that has made being a parent just mean so much more, now that I get to share it with somebody. It's also wonderful to have someone there for my children. They have a great father. Having that has just made the whole experience nicer. What do you like most about being a mum? Angelina Jolie: I just love my kids. They're just fun. I think any parent is going to say that. My children are so interesting. I love talking to them. And now Mad's at an age where he writes me letters. We have the greatest 16

17 conversations, my daughter too. She is the funniest, craziest little person. Like last night we were just sitting there, watching her and just in hysterics. And that's the joy of life, you know? They're just fun. How do you think being a mother has changed you as an actress? Angelina Jolie: It makes me want to work a lot less! If you noticed, the last few films I've done have been shorter and father apart. I think Good Shepherd I was on for five weeks. And the last two films were two years apart, so I don't work as much now. How is your newest little boy adjusting to his life? Angelina Jolie: He's great, he's amazing. He's taught us all a great deal. He's learning English and every day he seems to know more and more which is amusing. He often does just go on into Vietnamese which is funny. He's great but they all have their moments like all kids. It was a very big change for him wasn't it? Angelina Jolie: It was but we were very prepared for that. We talked to a lot of people. We had a translator for a long time to help to explain things to him. We didn't push ourselves or our family onto him, we let him slowly come to us and be as close to us as he wants to be. Now he's so loving and affectionate and fun. Our only thing now is keeping him calm because he gets so excited. Will you have more kids? Angelina Jolie: We want to have more children, and we want to live abroad more and do different things. You're almost as well known for your humanitarian work, as your acting. Do you ever feel overwhelmed by all the bad stuff going on in the world? Angelina Jolie: Yes, you do get to the point where you realise you can't help everybody. But you do the best you can, with those you can help. With your humanitarian work, have you always had a sense of injustice in the world or is that something that has come with age? Angelina Jolie: I think, as is the case with most teenagers, I was very focused on myself. You know, we all go through periods where we just think that our 17

18 own pain is extraordinary. I was fortunate to, early on in my twenties, travel and meet people from around the world. I realised then that I should never, ever complain about anything again. There are real horrors in the world and real tragedies and real loss that I will never, never know or I certainly hope that I never know. So it sobered me up. Is it hard still being a part of the Hollywood industry while at the same time doing your humanitarian work? Angelina Jolie: No, because I never looked at Hollywood for the glitz and the glamour and the money of it all. I wanted to be an artist and I wanted to tell stories, serious stories or entertaining stories. I can take money from a film and donate it and build amazing things for kids in other countries. I'm very fortunate that I'm able to make a great deal of money but it's never why I've chosen to do it. What made you want to do A Mighty Heart? Angelina Jolie: Even the first day of shooting, I was very hesitant and very scared to do this movie. I didn't think I would be good enough to pull it off. But I felt it was such an important thing to do and I believe very much in the message behind this story and the people in it. Were there things with this film that you just didn't want to know or see, like the be-heading video? Angelina Jolie: I would never go near that video, just out of respect for Mariane (Pearl) and for Danny. I think any acknowledgement of things like that tends to encourage more of it. Any attention paid to that kind of propaganda, is what causes future incidents like that. There's a moment in the movie where you scream at the realisation that your husband has been be-headed. How did you summon up that emotion? Angelina Jolie: You stay in a very strange state of mind. There are certain things that make you emotional and that remind you of the saddest things in your life. I tried not to think of any one thing but I'm sure images of my own mum, who was sick at the time, and thoughts of anything happening to people that I love, you know, just all of that. What did you learn about yourself when working on A Mighty Heart? 18

19 Angelina Jolie: I think I learned to be more tolerant. I do think of myself as an open and tolerant person but I am quick to anger. I don't know if I would have had the strength to go through what she (Mariane Pearl) did. Especially when she went public, saying that there are Pakistanis being killed too and suffering, just like her husband. I couldn't understand how she could say that. So I learned from her the importance of having dialogue and trying to take the higher ground to find solutions. I've learned that, and that's a big lesson. Any thoughts about Oscars for this movie? Angelina Jolie: Oh, please don't bring that up. All that kind of stuff is fun, nice and sort of the icing on the cake. But if we're never acknowledged for awards, it means nothing because we made the film we cared about. That's all that matters. Are you and Brad going to do any more movies together? Angelina Jolie: I don't know. We were joking before that nobody's going to watch the children if we both go to work at the same time. But yes, maybe, if we can find something. Question TRUE FALSE 1 Angelina thinks that single women on their own with kids are blessed. 2 According to Angelina, Brad is very supportive. 3 Angelina has learnt a lot from Pax Thien. 4 It took Pax Thien no time to adjust to his new family. 5 Being a humanitarian, Angelina is desperate because she cannot help everybody. 6 Angelina has experienced some real horrors in her life. 7 Angelina didn t see the be-heading video. 8 A Mighty Heart has taught Angelina to be stronger and to stand up for her rights. 9 According to Angelina, Oscar awards mean nothing. 10 Brad and Angelina have already appeared together in movies. 19
