Reading

Read the texts below. Match choices (A-H) to (1-5), There are three choices you do not need to use.

1   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Safe, comfortable and, above all, green. Electric-powered cars will not produce any substances which are dangerous for either people or the environment. In 10-20 years all cars will have their own built-in computers. These computers will help choose the best way to go and avoid accidents. You can even sit back and let the computer do the driving!

2   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] As you know, personal computers use a lot of power. In fact, with their printers and monitors, computers in the USA use each year as much electricity as the whole state of Oregon. Not to waste electricity, new green computers are being developed by more than a hundred personal computer firms in the USA. When left on but unused for more than a few minutes, they go down to a standby, using 80 per cent less energy. At a command the PCs return to full power.

3   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] Nowadays, people working in offices use computers, which contain hundreds of documents. Do you know how much space these documents would take up, if they were printed on paper? They’d occupy whole rooms! In many offices computers are linked in a network. This way, employees can exchange information and messages without moving from their tables.

4   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Technology has allowed more and more people to work from the place where they live. Using a modem on a telephone line connected to their computer, everyone can be linked to the company computer. In this way, they don't waste so much time, because they don’t have to go to the office every day. It also means less pollution in the atmosphere caused by transport.

5   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] Good-bye, pencils! Farewell, sheets of paper! These days cartoons are being made with a computer. The first-ever cartoon to be created by computer was Toy Story produced by Steve Jobs. A typical Walt Disney cartoon usually needs up to 600 designers. "Toy Story" was made using only 100. So, like so much of modern life, today's cinema seems to be falling more and more into the hands of the computer

A An Office at Home

B Computers for Making Films

C “No” to Computer Games

D Computers for Building up Team Spirit

E Saving Energy

F Saving Space

G Driving in the Future

H Computers for Making Music

Read the text below. For questions (1-5) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

There is something every visitor to Ireland must do - kiss the Blarney Stone. On my first visit to Ireland last fall, I accomplished this. On the way to Blarney Castle, our guide tried to discourage us from climbing to the top of the five-story castle where the stone is located. However, I was not to be deterred. Entering the 15th-century castle, it was obvious that it was built as a fortress, not a tourist attraction. The walls are 18 feet thick at the base, and the battlements at the top allowed the defenders to pour boiling water or tar on their visitors.

To reach the stone, I had to scramble up 160 steps around a circular staircase. The steps were built too narrow so only one attacker could advance up them at a time - a great idea for the ancient lords but a bad one for modern-day tourists, especially when we had to squeeze by folks heading down.

A stone walkway runs around the top of the castle offering a panoramic view of the Irish green countryside. I spent a few minutes enjoying the view until I spotted a sign: Blarney Stone. I headed over and observed the unusual goings-on. One does not just kiss the stone; there is a ritual to follow.

First I emptied my pockets. Then I lay on my back and with a guard holding my feet I bent backward down a shaft-with only a grate separating me from a five-story fall until I could smack the magic stone. Was it worth all those contortions? I'm now one of a select group of several million or so who have a document certifying their eloquence.

1 When was Blarney Castle built?   [A, B, C, D]

A Four centuries ago.

B Over 500 years ago.

C In the 1500s.

D 1500 years ago.

2 What was the author's complaint about the stairs in the castle?   [A, B, C, D]

A They were too old and dangerous.

B They weren't wide enough.

C There were too many.

D They were too steep.

3 How did the soldiers defend the castle ?   [A, B, C, D]

A By pouring hot water or tar on their enemies.

B By squeezing up the narrow staircase.

C By throwing sharp pieces of stones.

D By attracting visitors inside the walls of the castle and battling with them.

4 Which statement is true?   [A, B, C, D]

A The Blarney Stone has magical powers.

B The castle was designed to attract tourists.

C The use of the castle has changed over time.

D The Blarney Stone has been relocated to make it easier to find.

5 How did the author learn to kiss the Blarney Stone?   [A, B, C, D]
