THE ICEHOTEL
For many years the Arctic was a popular destination in the summer season to see the land of
the midnight sun but in winter the few inhabitants had the snow and ice to themselves. By the
end of the 1980s it was decided that the dark and cold winter should be seen as an advantage.
In the winter of 1990 the French artist Jannot Derit was invited to have the opening of an
exhibition in a specially built igloo (a building made of snow) in the little town of Jukkasjärvi
on the frozen Torne River. The building, named Arctic Hall, attracted many interested visitors
to the area. One night a group of foreign guests decided it would be a good idea to sleep in the
Arctic Hall. The following morning the brave group were very pleased with their experience
and the idea of an ice hotel was born. Today it is world famous.
As soon as winter begins, a team of snow builders, architects and artists from all over the
world come to Jukkasjärvi and they make the hotel for that year. As one part is completed, it
opens to visitors and overnight guests, while the other parts are still being built. The first part
is completed in December and each week after that a new part opens, until January 7th when
the hotel is completed. As the ICEHOTEL is built under the open sky, using the natural
materials of the winter season, the finishing date depends on nature and therefore there are
sometimes changes to the plan. In the spring, as the weather gets warmer, the hotel melts.
Inside the hotel, the temperature is never colder than –5 °C to –8 °C, however cold it may be
outside. Winter outer clothes such as warm overalls, hats and gloves are included in the cost of
guests’ stay at the hotel. In addition to this, it is a good idea for guests to bring sweaters and a
scarf as well as plenty of woolen socks and to choose footwear that is larger than normal to
allow space for thick socks.

6
If you are planning to come to the hotel, you can buy warm sweaters, woolen socks and much
more on the ICEHOTEL website. You can order these and the equipment you will need at the
same time as you book your visit. The items will be delivered to your room when you check in.
The hotel is in the village of Jukkasjärvi, 200 km above the Arctic Circle but only 15 km from
Kiruna airport and 17 km from Kiruna train station. Transport by bus can be arranged from the
airport or train station to the IceHotel.

PART 3: Read the following passage and do the tasks below. Write your answers in the
numbered table.

The Atmosphere of Venus

Venus, also called the Morning Star and Evening Star, is the second-closest planet to
the sun and the brightest object in the night sky. The planet orbits the sun every two hundred
and twenty four Earth-days and is sometimes referred to as Earth’s sister planet because the
two share both a similar size and bulk. What is not similar, however, is Venus’s atmosphere in
comparison to Earth’s atmosphere.
The atmosphere on Venus is much heavier and has a higher density than that of Earth.
Venus’s atmosphere also expands significantly higher than Earth’s atmosphere although a
thick cloud cover makes the surface of Venus nearly impossible to see unless observed
through radar mapping.
While the pressure and temperature of Venus’s upper atmosphere are comparable to
those of Earth, the heat and pressure of the lower atmosphere are not unlike a furnace. Venus’s
atmosphere is very thick due to a composition consisting mainly of carbon dioxide, and a
small amount of nitrogen. If man could survive the extreme heat of Venus’s surface (400
degrees Celsius), then he would have to contend with a surface pressure that is more than
90 times that of Earth. Venus’s extremely high temperature is thanks to the greenhouse effect
caused by such a large amount of carbon dioxide. The greenhouse effect is a process by which
the sun’s infrared radiation is more readily absorbed by the atmosphere. Just like in a real
greenhouse used to grow plants years round, the proliferation of carbon dioxide traps radiation
and warms Venus’s atmosphere. Due to this phenomenon, Venus boasts a higher atmospheric
temperature than Mercury, even though Venus is twice the distance from the sun.
However, scientists postulate that Venus’s atmosphere was not always so hot. [A]
Studies show that large bodies of water were once on Venus’s surface but that eventually
evaporation of all the water caused the runaway greenhouse effect which regulates the planet
today. [B] Thus Venus has become a critical study for today’s scientists, as human being are
only beginning to struggle with the early stages of the greenhouse effect. [C] Our problems do
not stem from evaporated water supplies but from a propagation of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases due to industrial and automobile emissions. [D]
Another interesting characteristic to note regarding Venus’s atmosphere is that its
daytime temperatures and nighttime temperatures are not that far removed from each other.
7
This is due to the thermal inertia, the ability of a substance to store heat despite changing
temperatures and the transfer of heat by Venus’s strong winds. Although winds on the surface
of Venus move slowly in comparison with Earth’s winds, Venus’s air is so dense that a slow-
moving there can move large obstructions and even skip stones along the planet’s surface.
In 1966, humankind made its first attempt at sending a recording instrument into
Venus’s atmosphere. The Venera 3 probe did collide with Venus surface; however, the abrupt
impact caused its communication system to fail, and it was unable to send and feedback. In
1967, Venera 4 successfully enter Venus’s atmosphere and was able to take many readings,
one of which recorded that Venus’s atmosphere was between ninety and ninety-five percent
carbon dioxide. Subsequent Venera probes were sent into Venus’s atmosphere, but most of
them succumbed to the crushing air pressure.
Questions 1-7: Choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the
passage.
1. According to paragraph 1, Venus is named the Morning Star and Evening Star because
A. it is very bright

paragraph 3? Incorrect answer choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out
essential information.
A. Earth experiences greater surface pressure than Venus.
B. If a man could survive its surface pressure.
C. The surface pressure and heat of Venus are much greater than those on Earth.
D. Venus’s surface temperature and pressure make it uninhabitable by humans.
4. According to paragraph 3, the greenhouse effect on Venus is owed to
A. the small amounts of nitrogen
B. the rapid increasing amounts of carbon dioxide
C. growing plants
D. the high atmospheric temperatures
5. In paragraph 4, the author of the passage implies that Earth
A. might suffer the same greenhouse effect as Venus
B. once had an atmosphere similar to Venus’s
C. has bodies of water similar to those on Venus today
D. is experiencing a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions
6. Look at the four blanks […] in paragraph 4 that indicate where the following sentence could

PART 4: You are going to read a magazine article about learning how to fly a plane. Eight
paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from paragraphs A-I the one that
fits each gap (1-8). There is one extra paragraph that you do not need to use. Write your
answers in the numbered table below.
Learning to Fly
I had been testing cars and motorcycles for over twenty years. I couldn’t take any more. It
wasn’t terribly exciting and, in any case, new cars were beginning to look identical and drive
similarly. What I needed was a new challenge.
1
Unfortunately, I wore glasses. The Royal Air Force wouldn’t consider anyone for pilot
training unless they had perfect eyesight. Halfway through an aptitude test, they realised that my eyes
were far from perfect. I didn’t stand a chance.
2
It was an obvious choice. It’s just twenty minutes’ drive from my home. It’s very quiet, too, so
the £90 per hour for the training is spent flying in the air, not waiting on the ground for other planes
to take off.
3
It took me a whole year to get my private pilot’s license. It started well, with my first solo
flight coming after just seven hours. Then came all the studying, the exams, the hard work. I
never thought I’d get to the end of it.
4

9
Then came last winter and the end of the course was in sight. For weeks, the weather was so
terrible that for most of the time it was impossible to fly. Strong winds, heavy r ain and even
snow and ice made flying conditions extremely hazardous.
5
But finally the first of three practical exams arrived – the navigation test. The examiner sets
you a course that you have to plan according to the weather, and then fly with him sit ting
beside you.
6
I passed this test, but I don’t know how. The second test involves flying cross-country to two
other airports, which you can choose, and landing at both. The important thing is to give the
right messages to the air-traffic control people and understand their replies.
7
After this alarming episode, the exercises in the flight-handling test were simple. As we complete the
sixth exercise, the examiner suddenly turned to me and said, ‘Congratulations – you’ve passed!’
8
I wasn’t sure why, because we usually land as slowly as possible. Then I turned round and
realised straight away: we were being followed by a British Airways jumbo jet!
A. A week which we had set aside for finishing the course came and went with no possibility
of getting in the air at all. And besides the problems with the weather, my second son was
born, and that made it even more difficult to find the time for lessons and studying.
B. But the real reason I chose this club was that a friend of mine, Andrew Wilkins, is the chief
instructor there. He impressed me by taking me out for a free flight just so that I could see
what it was like.
C. Unfortunately, I got myself lost this time and flew too far east. I completely missed the first
airport. However, I flew over a car factory I recognised and managed to get back on course.
D. Along the way, he’ll take the controls and fly off course, just to get you lost. Then he’ll
hand back the control to you and expect you to find your way home.
E. One day I was asked by an air-traffic controller if I could see another aircraft ahead. I said
yes, and immediately it disappeared into a cloud. I just didn’t know what to do.
F. At the time, taking private lessons to learn how to fly was financially beyond me. So I had
to delay my plans to become a pilot for quite a while. It was twenty years, in fact, before I
finally enrolled at a flying club in Hertfordshire.
G. Since getting my pilot’s license, I’ve been out flying a few times. The highlight so far was
flying up to Birmingham International Airport for a motor show with Andrew beside me. As
we approached the way, the air-traffic controller came on the radio asking for as much speed
as our little plane could manage.
H. For months, my head was always in a book and my head hurt from all the facts, figures and
flying instructions.
I. This feeling of needing a change coincided with my 40 th birthday, which started me thinking
about what I’d been doing all those years. When I left school all I had really wanted to do was
fly.
