PART 3: Read an article about a new way of making electricity. Five sentences have
been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A- G the one which fits
each gap (1-5). There is two extra sentences which you do not need to use. (1.5pts)
A NEW WAY OF MAKING ELECTRICITY
A. But that isn’t the end of the story.
B. This kind of information is very useful for certain people.
C. Why not use the energy created by pedestrians instead?
D. However, one big problem could be cost.
E. And it’s actually based on a simple idea.
F. This is especially true when it’s been used in very busy areas.
G. But it soon became clear that this might not work.
Ever since the 19th century, when people were developing different ways of creating
electricity, companies have looked for improved ways of producing power, using
cleaner and more efficient methods.
Now a UK company called Pavegen has been working on technology that could be
widely used in the future to produce electricity. (1) _____________________ The
company has developed a special type of floor, made of square tiles. Underneath each
square, there’s a system that can produce a certain amount of electricity very cheaply –
from the energy created every time someone steps on it!
The creator of the floor, Laurence Kemball – Cook, came up with the idea when he
was a student, and did some work experience with an energy company. The company
asked him to investigate ways of providing street lighting in city centers, using energy
from the sun to produce electricity. (2) _____________________ One reason was that
many city centres don’t get enough sunlight, because of all the tall buildings. Then he
thought of a better plan.
(3) _____________________ The right technology could be used to convert this
energy into electricity – right under people’s feet!
The design of the floor is actually extremely effective. (4) _____________________ And
the reason is that a lot of energy is produced simply because of the large numbers of
people walking across the floor. In fact, the special squares are already in place in several
locations with high numbers of pedestrians. These include big department stores and also
an airport.
The flooring can have other uses too, such as recording how many people visit a shopping
centre at particular times. (5) _____________________ For example, shop owners in the
centre would be interested in knowing at which times of days they have the highest
customer numbers. So the next time you visit a big shopping centre, have a careful look at
the floor that you’re walking across!

OPEN-AIR THEATRE
In Britain, the ancient tradition of open-air performances is still alive and well.
Cornwall has some of Britain’s oldest working theatres actually built into a cliff, a
project only recently completed.
Two actors, Dave James and Muriel Thomas, came from London theatres to join a
theatre company called Coastline.They now regularly perform in just such a theatre, by
the sea.“ One thing about performing outside is we never know what’ll happen. For
example, if a bird lands on stage we can’t act as if it’s not there-the audience are all
watching it. So we just bring the bird onto the play, too. Once, abount 30 dolphins
came past, jumping out of the water and showing off. The audience were all chatting
about them instead of watching the play, so the actors just gave up for a while and
watched the dolphins, too.”
The weather can also be difficult. “Sometimes it’s so bad,” says Muriel, “that we’ve
asked the audience if they really want to stay. But usually they sit with their coats and
umbrellas and say, “yes, please carry on!” They must feel it isn’t much fun, but no
one’s returned their tickets so far!”
Coastline’s director, John Barnack, works hard to introduce people to theatre. “Many
people think of theatres as clubs where they don’t belong and are not welcome,” he
explains. “Sitting in the open air changes that feeling. The audience are far more
involved-they aren’t sitting in the dark, at the distance like in normal theatres, and that
improves the actors’ performances, too. I’m very proud of the work they’ve done so
far.”
1.What is the writer trying to do in this text?
A. follow the development of open-air theatre in Britain.
B. describe how one open-air theatre was built.
C. explain what it’s like to work in an open-air theatre.
D. warn readers about the disadvantages of attending open-air performances.
2. When plays are disturbed by local wildlife, the actors
A. cancel the rest of the performance.
B. change the performance to include it.
C. stop and have a chat with the audience.
D. carry on though nothing had happened.
3. What is the audience’s attitudes to bad weather during performances?
A. They accept it as they have come well-prepared
B. They say that it stops them enjoying the play.
C. They worry about the actors getting wet.
D. They feel they should have their money back.
4. What does John Barnack say about outdoor theatre?
A. He’s afraid the atmosphere is more stresful for actors.
B. He’s happy that the audience feel more comfortable being there.
C. He’s worried that it creates an atmosphere similar to a club.
D. He welcomes the distance it creates between actors and audience.
