intelligence features like expert intelligence, neural network pattern recognition, or natural language
capabilities, and they may be as small as coins. These features will make it simpler for users to
interface with computers and manage a large amount of data from fax, email, Internet, and phone

Part VI. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question. (1 point)
Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that students
will study most regular classes such as maths, science and history online. Students will probably be
able to these subjects anywhere using a computer. What will happen if students have problem with a
subject? They might connect with a teacher through live videoconferencing. Expert teachers from
learning centres will give students help wherever they live.
Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for learning social
skills. Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together in getting along with each
other. They will help students with group projects both in and out of the classroom.
Volunteer work and working at local businesses will teach students important life skills about the
world they live in. This will help students become an important part of their communities. Some
experts say it will take five years for changes to begin in schools. Some say it will take longer. Most
people agree, though, that computers will change education the way TVs and telephones changed
life
for people all over the world years before.

Polar habitats cover the top and bottom of planet Earth at the North and South Poles. The North Pole
is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean. There isn’t any land here, just a group of continually shifting ice
sheets. Parts of Canada and Greenland are near the North Pole. The South Pole is located in
Antarctica. This area has land, but it’s completely covered with a layer of ice that’s almost 3 miles
thick.
The polar regions have two seasons: summer and winter. In the summer, the sun shines 24 hours a
day, but it never gets high enough above the horizon to warm things up, so even summers are pretty
cold. It’s dark all winter because the sun doesn’t rise during those months of the year. Fierce
continuous winds make it feel even colder.
It’s much too cold and dry for trees to grow in most areas of the Arctic, and there is no room for
their roots, because just under the surface of the ground there is always a layer of ice, called
permafrost. You won’t find trees in Antarctica, but some types of small shrubs, lichens, mosses, and
algae are able to grow in the harsh climate.
Polar bears and arctic foxes are adapted to the extreme weather of the Arctic region. Walruses and
humpback whales live in the Arctic ocean. Several kinds of penguins, including the emperor
penguin, live in Antarctica, and so do walruses and narwhals.
1. According to the first paragraph, the North Pole ______________.
A. includes Canada and Greenland B. is located on Antarctica
C. has ice that’s almost three miles thick D. has a lot of shifting ice sheets
2. The word “horizon” in paragraph 2 mostly means ______________.
A. sea level B. skyline C. ice sheet D. the Earth
3. Why can’t trees grow in the Arctic?
A. Because the permafrost prevents the roots from growing.
B. Because the sun doesn’t rise most of the time.
C. Because shrubs and lichens grow instead of trees.
D. Because the winds make the weather even colder.
4. What animal can be found in both the North and South Poles?
A. Polar bears B. Emperor penguins
C. Humpback whales D. Walruses
5. Which of the following sentences is NOT true about the polar habitats?
A. There is land covered with ice in the South Pole.
B. There are other types of penguins besides the emperor penguins in the South Pole.
C. The polar habitats have four seasons just like other parts of the world.
D. It’s cold and dry in most areas of the Arctic.

At 2,315 miles (3,726 kilometres), the Missouri River is nearly as long as the Mississippi River,
into which it flows. Together the Missouri and the Mississippi form one of the world's longest river
systems.
There are seven major dams and dozens of smaller dams on the Missouri. The dams use water from
the river to produce electricity. They also create reservoirs, or artificial lakes, behind them. The
reservoirs store water that is needed for cities and for irrigation of crops. Irrigation is important
because most of the regions around the river have fairly dry climate.
In addition to producing electricity, the dams on the Missouri are also used to control the water
level of the river. Sometimes water is held back to prevent floods. At other times, water is released
to keep the water level high enough for barges to float downstream.
By changing the natural flow of water in the Missouri, dams and reservoirs have altered the river's
ecosystem. They have affected the depth and temperature of the water in different parts of the river.
Such changes have made it difficult for some species, or types, of plants, animals, and fish to
survive. A few wildlife species in the region are now endangered.
1. On the Missouri River, there are dozens of _____.
A. major dams B. small dams C. reservoirs D. crops
2. Why is it necessary sometimes to keep the water level high?
A. To produce electricity. B. To prevent floods.
C. To let barges float downstream. D. To change the flow of water.
3. The word "They" in the last paragraph refers to _____.
A. dams and reservoirs B. parts of the river C. such changes D. some species

A. The Missouri River is longer than the Mississippi River.
B. The Missouri River flows into the Mississippi River.
C. The Mississippi River flows into the Missouri River.
D. Wildlife species in the Missouri region are dangerous.

During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem
to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a
normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of
becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people
are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not
because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future
plan, but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the
danger signs: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, or
smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with
these and get help if necessary.
1. This passage is taken from a ………………
A. handbook for parents B. school timetable C. teenage magazine C. book for children

A. because most teenagers are quiet B. because teenagers don’t want to talk to other people.
C. because teenagers think adults are not honest D. because most teenagers hate adults.
3. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual?
A. When people talk to them because they are really interested and not just checking on them.
B. When adults give them a lot money to spend.
C. When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school.
D. When adults talk to them about sex, alcohol and drugs.

Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that students
will study most regular classes such as maths, science and history online. Students will probably be
able to these subjects anywhere using a computer. What will happen if students have problem with a
subject? They might connect with a teacher through live videoconferencing. Expert teachers from
learning centres will give students help wherever they live.
Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for learning social
skills. Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together in getting along with each
other. They will help students with group projects both in and out of the classroom.
Volunteer work and working at local businesses will teach students important life skills about the
world they live in. This will help students become an important part of their communities. Some
experts say it will take five years for changes to begin in schools. Some say it will take longer. Most
people agree, though, that computers will change education the way TVs and telephones changed
life
for people all over the world years before.

VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer (1,25 point)
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around
1350, afetr having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the
Norman invasion of 1030. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England
and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the
two next centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade
(including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers
became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated,
English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in
English. Two-thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of
technology, advertising, media,, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are
more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers,
constituting the largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.
