Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to choose
the word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 34 to 38.

CYCLING IN LONDON
Up until recently the British were not exactly keen on cycling. In fact, only a quarter of the
twenty million bicycles in the country were thought to be in (34) use. Over the last year,
though, the number of cyclists in urban areas, particularly in London, has grown by 83 per cent.
This has turned the capital into a cleaner, less noisy city compared to (35) others in Europe.
How was this possible? It is all thanks to the National Cycle Network project (36) , in the
last few years, has managed to encourage many people to use their bicycles either to travel to work
or for fun.
(37) , the provision of bicycle parking in the streets, at railway and underground
stations, in schools and in the workplace has contributed significantly to the rise in the number of
cyclists. It is estimated that nearly 75 per cent of the population live within two miles of a route
and more cycling (38)
are made than ever before.

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Scientists have dreamed for a long time about building a 'flying train' which can float through
the air above the tracks. With Maglev technology, their dreams are now a reality. Maglev trains
have no wheels. Instead, powerful magnets lift them into the air and push them forward, at speeds
of up to 500 km per hour.
As well as speed, Maglev has a number of advantages over other transport systems. The trains
are quieter and the journey is smoother because they don't have wheels. They are also greener
because they don't use fuel and so create less pollution. Right now there is only one high-speed
Maglev train system in the world. It carries passengers from Shanghai city centre to the airport.
However, work has started on a new, longer Maglev track in Japan. Trains will go from Tokyo to
Nagoya in 40 minutes. But don't expect to ride on it on your next trip to Japan. It won't open until
2027! Then, in 2045, the line will extend to Osaka.
There is one major problem with Maglev technology: it is incredibly expensive to build the
tracks. Transport planners predict that the Tokyo to Osaka line will cost 91 billion dollars. The
high cost means that Maglev technology probably won't replace other forms of transport in the
near future. However, the technology is still in development and somebody might find a cheaper
and simpler way to build the tracks. And then, who knows? In the future, some of us might fly to
work by train.
(Adapted from Navigate by Caroline Krantz and Julie Norton)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
CCTV cameras were initially developed as a means of security for banks. In Britain
they first appeared in 1953 and by the 1960s, there were already a few cameras in major
streets in London. Today, there are more than four million CCTV cameras across the
country. That's one camera for every fourteen people. The cameras are there to film
dangerous or illegal behaviour. With new software, they can automatically recognize the
faces of known offenders, and a new kind of CCTV in the Netherlands can detect angry
voices and automatically warn the police of trouble. Some CCTV cameras can even
interact with the people they are watching. But these cameras don't just watch criminals;
they watch all of us, almost all of the time.
The amount of surveillance in towns and cities across Britain is increasing because it is
thought to deter crime. Some goods in shops now have RFID tags (radio frequency
identification tags) attached to them. When you pick up one of these items, the RFID tag
sends a radio message to a CCTV camera and the camera starts filming you. Shops say
that this technology helps to catch shoplifters - but only by treating everybody as a
potential criminal.
Cameras and tags are not the only ways of monitoring our actions. Every time you
make or receive a call on your mobile phone, the phone company knows the number of
the phone you are calling and how long the call lasts. It is even possible to work out your
exact location. The police often use this information when they're investigating serious
crimes.
Even when you are at home, you are not necessarily safe from surveillance. High-
speed internet connections have made computers more vulnerable than ever before. When
you use your computer to visit websites, you are probably sending and receiving 'cookies'
without realizing it. Cookies transfer information from your computer to the website and,
in theory, could record which websites you visit. Modern technology is making it easier
and easier to stay in contact, but it is also making it nearly impossible for us to hide.
(Adapted from Aim High by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)
