Questions 22-31: Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.
Considering their wedding cost over £20,000 and took a year and a half to organise, you would be surprised
to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it.
"It was a terrific day at one of the country's most deluxe resort. Everyone was so happy," says Victoria, "but
we have so much we want to do together now." Her husband agrees: "Both our minds are now fixed firmly
on the future. Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."
"At the moment, we are still living with Richard's parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find
our own place, maybe in the suburb, but it should have all modern facilities." Richard adds that they plan to
have two or three children. "We both have many siblings and they encourage us to add to the extended
Hammond family."
The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon in an authentic Scottish castle. Both are
big travel lovers and Richard hopes they will go travelling as much as possible together "I'd love to be her
company to every corner of the world!" Victoria, however, says that her real wish is to go on safari but
Richard has no interest in wildlife. That means she might have to fulfill this ambition alone.
About the marriage itself, the couple emphasizes the importance of talking with each other. "We are not
always in great harmony. However, it is communicating that has helped us to be reconciled. Now marriage
is a brand-new start, isn’t it?" Victoria smiles.
Circle the correct option (A, B, C, or D).

Natalie du Toit, the South African swimmer, was only seventeen when she lost her leg in a road accident. At
that time, she was a strong and determined young swimmer and many people were starting to see her name
up in lights. She almost qualified for the 2000 Sydney Olympics at the age of 16. This meant that she would
definitely take home the gold in Athens at the 2004 Olympics.
Unfortunately, 2001 took a turn for the worst for Natalie. She was going to a training session at the
swimming pool on her motorbike when a car hit her. Her leg had to be amputated at the knee. Everybody
thought that she would never be able to swim competitively again.
However, this South African swimmer neverlost sight of her dreams. Even after losing her leg in the
accident, her dream was still to compete at the Olympics. No matter how big the accident seemed, her
dream was always bigger. She now is one of the world’s fastest distance swimmers and the only amputee to
qualify for the Olympic Games. She qualified for the finals of the 800 meter freestyle at the Commonwealth
Games in 2002. This marked the very first time an amputee in the modern era had raced in the finals of an
able-bodied international swimming competition. Unfortunately, Natalie didn’t come close to winning. But
did that even matter? She was named outstanding athlete of the 2002 Commonwealth Games! This was also
her way of showing the world that even though she had half a leg, she would still do great things.
“I remember how thrilled I was the first time that I swam after recovering from the operation – it felt like
my leg was there. It still does,” says Natalie. “The water is the gift that gives me back my leg and
encourages me to continue swimming. I’m still the same person I was before the accident. My dream is to
swim faster than I did before the accident.”
Circle the correct option (A, B, C, or D).

VI. READING (0.25 point/correct answer)

Read the passage about Mount Fuji and do the tasks that follow.
Japan's Mount Fuji became a World Heritage Site in June 2013. The United Nations decided on April
30th that year to recognise the famous mountain a UNESCO World Heritage. The United Nations said that
Fuji was very important to Japanese religion and art. Fuji-san (as Japanese people call it) has been a sacred
mountain for more than 1,000 years. In spiritual terms, Fuji is divided into three zones. The bottom, or
Kusa-yama, is said to represent the everyday world. The forest line, or Ki-yama, represents the transition
between the world of humans and the world of gods, and the “burned” area, or Yake-yama, at the top is said
to represent the realm of the gods, Buddha and death. Thus, to climb Mount Fuji is to descend from the
living world to the kingdom of the dead and then back, by which pilgrims can wash away their sins.
This 3,776-meter-high mountain, since being recognised as the World Heritage Site, has attracted more and
more tourists. It is very popular with hikers, who want to walk all the way to see the rising sun from its
peak. More than 318,000 hikers visited the mountain last summer, with up to 15,000 people climbing each
day. Local residents are now worried the World Heritage status will mean more visitors, and also more litter
and environmental problems. The local government has proposed a plan which requires people to pay to
climb the mountain. Governor Shomei Yokouchi said: "It's likely we'll ask mountain climbers to help
financially with keeping the mountain clean." Another idea the government has been discussing is to limit
the daily number of hikers allowed to the top.

Super skyscrapers, underwater cities, 3D-printed homes, and holidays in space will all be a reality in 100
years' time, according to the SmartThings Future Living Report. The report presented findings from a
survey conducted by Samsung’s SmartThings company with a group of experts on space, architecture, and
urban planners. Several futurologists and adults of different occupations also took part in the survey.
The experts suggest that in a century's time humans will be able to live in 'Earth-scrapers', which will go
up to 25 storeys underground. They also believe that 'bubble cities' will be created underwater making the
depths habitable for humans. They say the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we
do these things today. The authors of the report say that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the
Internet and smartphones would change our lives. They have revolutionised the way we communicate, learn
and do daily things. So, it is understandable that the changes in the next century would be even more
unbelievable.
Researchers also questioned 2,000 adults about the predictions they thought were most likely to happen in
the future. Respondents predict that in the future, few people will go to an office but will work from home
and have virtual work meetings instead. People will have advanced 3D printers that will let us download a
design for furniture or a food recipe and then 'print' the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less
need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health capsule which will tell us what the problem is
and give us treatment. We will also go into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on
Earth. A prediction that was missing was about the popularity of English – whether people would still need
to study English or not. 
For each question, circle the correct option (A, B, C, or D).
22. What is the passage mainly about?

A. the development of SmartThings C. the future of English learning

B. a survey with students D. life in the next century

23. The word “Earth-scrapers” in paragraph 2 means ____________.

A. earthen buildings C. underground buildings

B. super sky cities D. cities in the water

24. The word “habitable” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____________.

A. eligible C. livable
B. enjoyable D. responsible

25. The word “They” in paragraph 2 refers to ____________.

A. Internet and smartphones C. the authors

B. people D. the changes

26. The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to ____________.

A. home C. the doctor

B. visit D. health capsule
