Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
(Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and nomads
camped near natural sources of fresh water_66), and populations were so sparse that pollution of the
water supply was not a serious problem. After community life developed and agricultural villages
became urban centres, the problem of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city, as
well as for irrigation of the farms surrounding the city. Irrigation works were known in prehistoric
times, and before 2000 BC the rulers of Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals
to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing
irrigation water throughout the dry season. Such irrigation canals also supplied water for domestic
purposes. (The first people to consider the sanitation of their water supply were the ancient
Romans_68), who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the Apennine
Mountains into the city and built basins and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the
water. The construction of such extensive water-supply systems declined (when the Roman Empire
disintegrated, and for several centuries local springs and wells_69) formed the main source of
domestic and industrial water.
(The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly
extended the possibilities of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first pumping
waterworks was completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m above the level
of the River Thames and from the reservoir the water was distributed by gravity, through lead pipes,
to buildings_71) in the vicinity.
(Increased per-capital demand_73) has coincided with water shortages in many countries.
Southeast England, for example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 per cent of its
population, and has experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s.
(In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh
water to provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East. Several different
processes, including distillation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation_74),
have been developed for this purpose. Some of these processes have been used in large facilities in
the United States. Although these processes are successful, the cost of treating seawater is much
higher than that for treating fresh water.
66. Early peoples didn’t need water supply engineering works because ______.
A. their community life had already developed
B. natural sources of fresh water nearby were always available
C. there was almost no dry season in prehistoric times
D. they had good ways to irrigate their farms
67. The word “impound” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. supply B. irrigate C. provide D. drain
68. Clean water supply was first taken into consideration by ______.
A. the English people B. the ancient Romans
C. the Egyptians D. the US people
69. For several centuries after the disintegration of the Roman Empire, the main source of water
supply was from ______.
A. springs and wells B. systems of aqueducts
C. dams and canals D. water pipes
70. The word “mains” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by “______”.
A. lands B. areas C. pipes D. rivers
71. Which of the following is NOT true about London’s water supply in the middle of the 16th
century?

C. Water ran from the reservoir to buildings. D. Water was conducted through canals.
72. The word “vicinity” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. the cities in South-east England B. the areas along the River Thames
C. the neighborhood around a reservoir D. the region where industry developed
73. One of the causes of water shortages in South-east England is ______.
A. water pollution B. increased demand

Read the text and fill in one word which best fits each gap.
For a long time in the past photography was not regarded (76) as an art. It was simply a skill

is now accepted as a unique (77) and very important form of art.
The photograph's claim to be (78) an objective record of reality is now seriously challenged,
and the important function of photography in modern-day society is consequently (79) under threat.
The threat has suddenly become all the more serious as more and more photographers are turning to
the new technology offer (80) which computers offer. Moreover, an increasing (81) number of
colleges have now begun to courses in computer imaging. All these developments raise a disturbing
question. Is photography, as we know it dead?
In (82) spite of its complete transformation by new technological developments, however,
photography will continue to play a key (83) role / part in our culture. Although it may (84) no longer
claim to be realistic, modern photography can continue to provide us (85) with fresh visual

Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
Sleep is a natural process, and although a lot have been written about the subject, it is still
surrounded by mystery. It is used by some as an escape from the world, and regarded by others as an
irritating waste of time: some people get by on very little, others claim they cannot exist without at
least ten hours, but nobody can do without sleep completely.
Our night’s sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep. It
alternates between two stages: Non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) or
dreaming sleep. As soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming sleep for an hour or so,
then into REM sleep for about 15 minutes, then back into non-dreaming sleep. It alternates in this
way for the rest of the night, with non-dreaming sleep tending to last longer at the beginning of the
night. Non-dreaming sleep occupies three-quarters of our night’s sleep, about a quarter of it deep
and the rest fairly light.
It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by being
awake. However, its main function is to refresh the brain. Experts believe that probably only about
two-thirds of our sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the most valuable
sleep coming in the first few hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few hours of sleep are not so
essential. The brain can manage quite well with reduced sleep as long as it is uninterrupted sleep.
The quality of sleep is important. A study conducted in the USA looked at short sleepers, who
slept for 5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more. It is discovered after a
variety of tests that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as much REM sleep as the short
sleepers, appeared to sleep longer to make up for poor sleep, and did not wake up in the morning
refreshed. Similarly, people who sleep deeply do not necessarily get a better quality of sleep than
shallow sleepers. Deep sleepers can feel tired the following day, so six hours of good sleep is worth
more than eight hours of troubled sleep.
66. It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ______.
A. people need equal time of sleep B. sleep remains a puzzle
C. sleep is among the processes of the nature D. everything about sleep has been brought to light
67. The word “irritating” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. calming B. soothing C. annoying D. comforting
68. All the following statements are true, EXCEPT for ______.
A. our night’s sleep occurs in a straight line of only two phases
B. all sleeps are similar in the alternatives of the two stages during the night
 C. we spend only 25 percent of our night’s sleeping time dreaming
D. we often have no dreams right after we fall asleep
69. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. our night’s sleep B. the ordinary sleep C. the REM D. the night
70. The word “occupies” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ______.
A. accounts for B. takes care of C. works out D. goes up
71. Unlike the common belief, sleep helps ______.
A. not to be awake C. us to fix the damage happening by day

example, sailors in the past were prone to suffer from scurvy that is a disease resulting from the lack
of vitamin C. It causes bleeding of the gum, loss of teeth and skin rashes. Sailors suffer (79) from
scurvy because they did not eat (80) fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C
which is necessary for good health.
Vitamin B complex is (81) composed of eight different vitamins. A lack of any of these vitamins
will lead to different diseases. For instance, a person who has (82) too little vitamin B1 will suffer from
beriberi, a disease that causes heart problems and mental disorders. A lack of vitamin B2 results (83)
in eye and skin problems while deficiency of vitamin B6 causes problems of the nervous system. Too
little vitamin B12 will cause anemia. The knowledge (84) that vitamin deficiencies caused certain
diseases led doctors to cure people suffering from these illnesses by giving them doses of the
necessary vitamins. Today, vitamins are available in the form of pills and can easily (85) be bought at
any pharmacy.
