09 1. In recent years, there s been a sharp decline in honeybee numbers. By some measures the wild population has nearly [disappearing / disappeared], and if honeybees [are / were] to become extinct, we would [be / been] in trouble. Approximately one-third of the food we eat [to come / comes] from plants [pollinating / pollinated] by insects, and honeybees perform 80% of [those / that] job. If honeybees [are / were] to stop pollinating our crops, the consequences [would / will] be disastrous. If it [was / were] not for these pollinators, our food supply would be severely [threatening / threatened], and an ecosystem would be destroyed. In fact, Einstein once [were predicted / predicted] that if the bee population [die / died] out, humankind would not [lasted / last] more than four years. Clearly, a decrease in honeybees means more than just our honey supply is being [threatened / threatening]. : disappeared, were, be, comes, pollinated, that, were, would, were, predicted, died, last, threatened 2. Most of us try [reducing / to reduce] the amount of time we spend [to watch / watching] TV, [admitting / admitted] that [doing / do] so would improve our lives significantly. However, TV has [became / become] such a big part of our lives that it s hard [of / for] us to take this step. Therefore, it s important to remind ourselves of the negative influence TV has on us. The more TV we watch, the less time we spend [to interact / interacting] with people around us. In the long run, this habit can [be weak / weaken] or even destroy important relationships. Accordingly, it would be worth [to eliminate / eliminating] TV from our lives. If we [are / were] to do so, we would [had / have] more time to talk with friends and family, and our days would [been / be] much richer. : to reduce, watching, doing, become, for, interacting, weaken, eliminating, were, have, be - 2 -
3. I m looking at a funny face [drawing / drawn] in the sand. It s smiling at me with round eyes, a wide smile, and a short, funny nose. Most likely the child who [was drawn / drew] it has loving parents who [had / have] brought him on holiday to the seaside. They ve surely [been giving / given] him everything I ve never had. He s probably staying in a fancy hotel and [despite / even if] he isn t, he s still [living / lived] better than I am. I wish I [can / could] stay in a nice hotel too, but I can t.

It seems like everyone is [concerning / concerned] with their body image these days. But even when people manage [to lose / losing] a lot of weight, they are often still [unsatisfying / unsatisfied] with the way they look. Their skin might appear loose [because / due to] the weight loss or they might look older. Some even continue to see themselves as though they [are / were] still overweight.

5. Our planet is [surrounding / surrounded] by a magnetic field, but it could vanish at any time. Around every 200,000 years the field reverses, [what / which] causes it to temporarily [be disappeared / disappear]. Earth s magnetic field plays a major role in protecting the planet from the Sun s solar wind. Without the magnetic field, particles [are carried / carried] by solar wind would directly impact Earth. This would [be consequent] / consequently] lead to disruptions in our communications systems and an [expansion / expand] of the holes in the ozone layer. Any change could also [be disturbed / disturb] animals migration patterns because they depend on the magnetic field [navigate / to navigate]. Clearly, Earth after a reversal of the field would be seriously [affecting / affected] in many ways. 6. When I went to school, none of my teachers ever [had been asked / asked] me about what kind of work I d like to do in the future. In fact, there [were / was] never a discussion about possible careers during all the years [that / which] I was at school. Since one of the main [object / objects] of going to school [are / is] to prepare for adult life, a good school would [have organized / organize] lectures or discussions [are intended / intended] to give students a broad view of different occupations.

7. All of Dr. Lloyd Pinkham s students owe him a debt of gratitude. [It had / Had it] not been for his guidance, none of us would [have been / be] in the position of success we enjoy today. One of Dr. Pinkham s gifts [were / was] that, in addition to [have / having] an extraordinary grasp on world cultures, he was very easygoing. I remember the first time we met him. He was [sat / sitting] in the classroom, [worn / wearing] shorts and a T-shirt and sipping a soda. No one realized [that / who] he was, so we started chatting casually. It wasn t long before his knowledge [had showed / showed] through, and at that point he stood up, introduced himself, and [deliver / delivered] the best lecture [I ve / I'd] ever heard. I can barely hold back my tears at the thought of never [seeing / see] or [talk / talking] with him again. : Had it, be, was, having, sitting, wearing, who, showed, delivered, I ve, seeing, talking 8. Aspiring writers often [submitting / submit] their work to writing contests in hopes of [receive / receiving] a cash prize and, even better, recognition. Yet, [many were / were many] of these writers [to learn / learn] how many entries competitive contests actually receive, they might begin to [despaired / despair]. It s true [what / that] the best contests [enter / are entered] by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of writers. But there are ways [ensure / to ensure] your submission rises above the others. To help your piece [make / making] it out of the preliminary judging rounds, you must guarantee that it meets all contest rules, [including / included] word limits and requests for personal information.
