Section II – LANGUAGE IN USE (40 points)

This section of the test has three parts. To complete this section of the test, you will need approximately 45 minutes.

Part 1: It’s Never Too Late to Make a Go of It (20 points)

For questions 21–40, read the text below. Decide which word or phrase (A), (B), (C) or (D) best fits each space. There is an example at the beginning (00).
Example: 00 – (C)

Mark your answers on the answer sheet labelled with "X".

Kay Shearing has always loved cooking, but it wasn’t until her daughter Donna’s twin girls were born that she 00 a business opportunity. Ruby and Lena were seven weeks premature. 21

, they were fine – but even when they were toddlers they couldn’t eat a lot of food. Their tiny tummies simply couldn’t 22

with more than a few spoonfuls. It meant the food they did eat needed to 23

with nutrients – not highly processed like a lot of the baby food found in supermarkets.

Donna 24

back to work full time, so Kay offered to do the cooking. She’d make wholesome cottage pies, lasagne and fish fingers, and she was thrilled when her granddaughters liked them. It got her thinking: could she make a 25

out of this? As a 50-year-old housewife she had no experience of business, but she loved the idea of creating her own range of healthy frozen kids’ meals. Donna did, too, so in 2010 they decided to 26

their own company.

Donna asked some of her mum friends on Facebook if they’d be 27

in trying out her recipes with their kids and the 28

was really positive. They arranged a/an 29

with 70 children in their hometown of Brentwood. They spent on 30

(meat from the butcher and vegetables from a local farm shop) and extras (including two giant saucepans), and cooked up a storm in her kitchen. Then they delivered the meals with a 31

questionnaire. It was a huge success, and 32

started pouring in.

They named their company Nanna Kay’s and reinvested all the 33

back into the business. Soon they 34

a couple of hundred orders a month. In fact, the meals proved so popular she had to buy a second freezer and put it in the living room!

Five years on, Nanna Kay’s has 35

her kitchen table. They’ve moved manufacturing to a factory that 36

their “home-made” ideals. They now sell more than 6,000 meals a month – including supplying 87 nurseries – and they are 37

with a major UK supermarket. She’s also been invited to 38

the Government’s all-party group on battling child obesity, which is a huge honour. If someone had told her five years ago that in her 50s she 39

running a successful business with a turnover and attending banquets at the House of Lords, she would have probably laughed!

But she feels so empowered and she believes if everyone is 40

about something, he/she should go for it. She’s proof that age should never be a barrier to success.

Part 2: Friendships (10 points)

For questions 41–50, read the text below. Use the word given at the end of each line to form na word that fits in the space in the same line. There is an example at the beginning (00).
Example: 00 – transform

Write your answers on the answer sheet labelled with "pen".

Meaningful friendships have the power to 00 our lives. But making and sustaining our friendships is not always easy.

Bank holiday weekends, job 41

, the birth of a child ... we experience all these with our close friends. Our friendships don’t happen by chance and they 42

over time, at least when they become our “inner circle”. Those 43

individuals know they can count on us no matter what. We take the time for small, 44

gestures as well as celebrating big events with them. We make ourselves 45

to our mates and this reassures them about the 46

of our affection for them.

Our friendships are based on 47

. Our talent for making friends rests with our 48

to be ourselves with others, and that in turn allows them to be who they really are. On the other hand, flattered by the idea of being the other person’s friend, and disappointed that they don’t give us the 49

we desire, we can become 50

and perceive even the biggest compliments as slights.

Part 3: Discover The Mini Story at Munich Exhibition (10 points)

Read the text below and fill in the gaps 51–60 with one suitable word. The words to be filled in have to be words with some grammatical function. There is an example at the beginning (00).

Example: 00 – one

Write your answers on the answer sheet labelled with "pen".

Along with Twiggy and The Beatles, it is 00 of the best-known British icons of the 1960s – the Mini. It is also one of the few cult objects to have 51

successfully reinvented and remarketed 52

the modern consumer. But today’s Mini is, of course, very different to that first car.

Currently, the BMW Museum in Munich 53

holding an exhibition about the little square car that began life in the workshops of 54

British Motor Corporation in 1959. Designed originally 55

an economy car – the Suez Crisis of 1956 56

caused a fuel shortage – the Mini soon became popular 57

the young and trendy in Britain. It also proved to 58

an excellent rally car and won the Monte Carlo Rally three times in the 1960s.

The exhibition, The Mini Story, shows 30 different models of this car, including a white stretch version. A political and social history provides the background 59

the displays. For 60

Section III – READING (20 points)

This section of the test has three parts. To complete this section of the test, you will need approximately 45 minutes.

Part 1: A Day in the Life of a Primary Care Doctor (7 points)

Read the following text. An overworked paediatrician Candice Chen tells her story. For questions 61–67, decide which of the sentences (A) – (J) below the text best fits into each of the numbered gaps in the article. There are three extra sentences which do not fit any of the gaps.

Mark your answers on the answer sheet labelled with "X".

I’m a primary care paediatrician in a clinic in south-east Washington, D.C., that provides health care to a largely poor, urban, and under-served community. On Monday mornings, I look forward to going to work. I’m excited to see my patients – the babies, children, teens, and families I’ve watched grow up – and face the challenge of figuring out how best to help. I started working in this community during my residency training almost twelve years ago. 61

As much as I love my work, however, my days are stressful and hectic and there is never, ever enough time. I start the day by looking at my schedule, which is typically booked full with patients scheduled every fifteen minutes, and the anxiety begins. My 8:30 a.m. appointment shows up at 8:44. 62

By the time this family checks in and is in a room, it is well after 9:00, and my later appointments have started to arrive. I feel the pressure of people waiting, but when I go into that first room, I can’t bring myself to rush this parent who’s worried about her child. 63

Meanwhile, I’m trying to find out what the results of the emergency room tests were. What were the results of the tests we ordered last time? What did the specialist do? 64

If all of my scheduled patients show up, I spend the morning rushing from room to room and my lunch break becomes fifteen minutes. 65

The couple of seconds I save probably don’t make a real difference to a waiting family, but it’s all I can do. I apologize frequently to families for running late. Some families are forgiving; some aren’t. I feel bad that my patients have to wait. 66

By the end of the day, I’m physically and emotionally exhausted.

Some observers might make the obvious suggestion – stop scheduling appointments every fifteen minutes. But in the U.S. health care system, the only way to make more is to do more. In my clinic, those extra visits pay for important patient services. 67

They also pay the salaries of the staff members who are needed to keep the clinic open five days a week.

Part 2: From the Life of Mae Jemison (6 points)

Mae Jemison, a doctor, was the first African American woman to be selected for the National Aeronautic and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) astronaut training program and was the first African American woman to travel in space. Read the text and decide whether the statements 68–73 are true (A) or false (B). For each statement also write the letter (a) – (e) of the paragraph in which you found the evidence for your answer.

Mark your answers on the answer sheet labelled with "X".

(A)

Mae Carol Jemison was born on October 17, 1956, in Decatur, Alabama, the youngest child of Charlie Jemison, a roofer and carpenter, and Dorothy (Green) Jemison, an elementary school teacher. Her parents were supportive and encouraged all of their children’s talents and abilities. The family moved to Chicago, Illinois, when Jemison was three, to take advantage of better educational opportunities there.

(B)

Throughout her early school years, Jemison spent many hours in her school library reading about all the subjects related to science, especially astronomy. From a young age she was interested in space travel. During her time at Morgan Park High School, however, she became interested in pursuing a career in engineering. When she graduated in 1973 as an honor student, she entered Stanford University on a National Achievement Scholarship.

(C)

Jemison pursued a double major in chemical engineering and Afro-American Studies at Stanford, and in 1977 she received a bachelor’s degree for these. Just as she had been in high school, Jemison was very involved in outside activities, including dance and theater productions, and she served as head of the Black Student Union. Upon graduation she entered Cornell University Medical College to work toward a medical degree.

(D)

During her years at Cornell, Jemison found time to expand her horizons by visiting and studying in Cuba and Kenya and working at a Cambodian refugee camp in Thailand. In 1981, she received her on-the-job training at Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Medical Center and later established a general practice. For the next two and a half years, she was the area Peace Corps medical officer for Sierra Leone and Liberia, where she also taught and did medical research.

(E)

After her return to the United States in 1985, Jemison made a career change and decided to follow a dream she had had for a long time. In October of that year she applied for admission to NASA’s astronaut training program. The selection process was delayed after the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in January 1986, but when she reapplied a year later, Jemison was one of fifteen candidates chosen from a field of about two thousand. She became the first African American woman ever admitted into the astronaut training program.

68.) As one of 15 successful candidates, Jemison was admitted into an astronaut training program before Challenger exploded.

(A)

true

(B)

false
