Match the headings (A-H) with the paragraphs (49- 55). There is one heading that you do not need. (7 points) A. The romance was not ended by a problem early in the relationship. B. This man had a good reason for contacting the girl he had met. C. A man feeling very tired got on a crowded train. D. A woman left her purse on the seat when she got off the train. E. This couple often travelled on the same train before they went out together. F. This man was not in a mood for talking to other people on the train. G. This couple met briefly when the man was changing trains at the station. H. One would not normally expect people to fall in love on trains or at stations. 49. Noel Coward wrote a famous play in the 1950s called Brief Encounter. It tells of a couple who fell in love when kept meeting in the waiting room of a railway station during wartime. For many people, a railway station or train must seem the most unromantic of places and yet there are plenty of examples of people meeting by chance on trains or at stations and falling in love. 50. John was one such person who met his future wife as a result of falling asleep on a train. It was just before Christmas some years ago when John was travelling on a very early morning train back home to Liverpool to spend Christmas with his family. He had been out to a party the night before and was feeling very sleepy. The train was quite full but he managed to find an emty seat. Page 4 of 10
5. 51. “Liz, who is now my wife” say John, “jumped on the train just as it was pulling out of the station. She asked if the seat next to me was free and sat down. Normally I try to strike up a conversation with people on a train, but on this occasion I felt so tired that I just fell asleep. Some time later I woke up and realised, to my embarrassment, that I had been lying against her. 52. “I felt that I could not ignore the woman now and began to chat. I discovered that, although she was going to Chester, she lived quite close to me and she gave me her phone number. After she had got off I found a purse on her seat. In the end it turned out that it did not belong to her but it gave me the perfect excuse for phoning her. You can guess the rest. We were married a few years later and now have got two little girls” 53. Another person to find romance on the train was Ron, a keen football fan. Twenty years ago he was travelling to work every day on a train from Basingstoke to Southampton. He usually found himself sitting opposite a young woman called Mary. They would often talk to each other and then, after about five or six months, they decided to go out together one evening. Ron was to decide where to go but Mary told him to keep the destination a secret – they went to see a football match. 54. A final example of a couple being brought together by the railways is Jimmy and Peggy. Jimmy was in the army during the Second World War and would sometimes have to wait for a connecting train at the station in Newcastle where Peggy lived. If he could let Peggy know that he would be on the station, she would come and meet him there and they would be able to spend a little time together. 55. “Our romance nearly finished very early”, say Jimmy. “On one of the first occasions we met, we walked out of the station and lost track of time. When we got back, the last train had gone and I had to take Peggy home. It was very late when we got there and her father was so angry that it seemed our friendship would be finished before it had really begun. Fortunately, Peggy managed to convince her father that I was not so bad and we went on to have many happy years together”. 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 Part 3: Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question. Write your answer in the numbered box. (10 points) Reading 1: (from question 56-60 ) Most people know that a balanced diet and regular exercise are very important. However, most people do not know how to exercise properly. Instead of concentrating on how to get the best results efficiently and effectively, people usually rush through their workouts, or they make the same common workout mistakes. Exercising the right way is important for people who are worried about their health and their appearance. However, if someone is not working out properly, it is rare that he or she will see the results he or she wants. Therefore, training experts have devised tips to teach people how to exercise correctly in order to achieve the greatest health benefits. If you want to achieve the best workout results, here are a few helpful tips to bear in mind. One of the most common workout mistakes is doing the same routine over and over again. This does not challenge your muscles, and it can actually prevent muscles from growing and repairing themselves. Instead of always sticking to the same old workout, it is important to change your routine every six to eight weeks. It is also important to add a variety of workouts to your routine, such as swimming, yoga, or biking, to make sure your whole body stays fit. This will help make your workouts more interesting, and benefit your health and muscle development as well. Another mistake people tend to make is to work out too hard, too often. Your body needs to rest between workouts; otherwise, no progress will be made. It is best to keep the number of hard workout routines to no more than two per week. Then, for those who don’t want to get off schedule by skipping a day, shorter workouts of about twenty minutes can be used on other days. For more variety in workouts, you could also plan an easier routine for forty to sixty minutes between days of shorter, more intense workouts. Experts recommend, however, taking at least one day off completely each week, especially after several hard workout days in a row. In reality, no one is perfect. However, if you want to make a Page 5 of 10
6. difference in your overall health, there are some things you can do. Stretch before and after every workout. Do not rush your routine, and do not work out too little or too much. Remember not to make these common workout mistakes, and always have fun while exercising. 56. Why should you change your workout routine every six to eight weeks? A. to challenge your muscles. B. to become faster. C. to avoid bone problems. D. to exercise your brain. 57. Which of the following statements is NOT correct? A. Daily intense workouts help one stay healthy. B. One’s body needs to rest between workouts. C. A variety of exercises is better than doing the same one all the time. D. It can be good to take a day off from exercising. 58. As used in the last paragraph, “ Stretch ” is closest in meaning to . A. Exaggerate B. Widen C. Make tight D. Extend or reach 59. What can be inferred about the mistakes people make when they work out? A. They are very harmful to the body. B. People who rarely work out make them. C. People think it is acceptable to make them. D. Athletes would not make these mistakes. 60. What is the main idea of this reading? A. Daily exercise can often be bad for your health. B. Working out properly is the only way to gain effective health results. C. Most people know how to work out efficiently and effectively. D. Adding a variety of workouts to your routine is not important. 56 57 58 59 60 Reading 2: (from question 61-65 ) Success and risk in extreme sports What is it that drives some to take extreme risks, while the rest of us hurry for the safety of the sidelines? Lester Keller, coach and sports-psychology coordinator, says that not everyone has the mental makeup to excel in extreme sports. ‘It takes a certain kind of person,’ he says. He notes that most of us hit a natural ceiling that limits our appetite for extreme risk and, as a result, our ability to perform well in tricky conditions. But others have a much higher tolerance, if not desire, for risk. Keller points to Daron Rahlves, a top ski racer who spends the summer off-season racing in motocross competitions. ‘He enjoys the challenge and the risk,’ Kelier said. Rahlves has told Keller that ‘the high element of risk makes you feel alive, tests what you are made of and how far you can take yourself’. Rahlves said in a previous interview, ‘I'm in it for the challenge, my heart thumping as I finish, the feeling of being alive’. He went on to point out that he would definitely get nervous on some of the courses, but that this would just make him fight more. The more difficult the course, the better, he reported. ‘That’s when I do best,’ he said. Psychologists note that some people seem to have a strong desire for adrenalin rushes as a thrill-seeking behaviour or personality trait. Like many extreme athletes, Emily Cook’s appetite for risk appeared at a young age. ‘I was both a skier and a gymnast,’ said the former ski champion. ‘I was one of those kids who enjoyed and excelled at anything acrobatic, anything where you were upside down. it was just kind of a part of Emily.’ Cook noted that as her expertise grew, so did the stakes. As she started doing harder tricks, she was increasingly drawn to the challenge. ‘There are definitely moments when you’re up there doing a new trick and it seems like the stupidest thing in the world. But overcoming that is just the coolest feeling in the world. Doing something that you know most people wouldn’t do is part of it.’ Shane Murphy, sports psychologist and professor, has worked with Olympians and other athletes. He says he is struck by the way they redefine risk according to their skills, experience and environment. ‘I’ve worked with groups climbing Everest, including one group without oxygen. To me that just seems like Page 6 of 10
7. the height of risk. But the climbers took every precaution they could think of,’ he said. ‘To them it was the next step in an activity that they’ve done for years.’ Murphy said the perspective of extreme athletes is very different from our own. ‘We look at a risky situation and know that if we were in that situation we would be out of control,’ he said. ‘But from the athletes’ perspective, they have a lot of control, and there are a lot of things that they do to minimise risk.’ Climbing and other ‘dangerous’ activities are statistically not as risky as outsiders assume. Another key aspect of risk perception may be something referred to as ‘the flow’, a state in which many athletes become absorbed in pursuits that focus the mind completely on the present. Something that makes you try doing a tougher climb than usual, perhaps, is that your adrenalin flows and you become very concentrated on what you’re doing,’ mountaineer Al Read has said. ‘After it’s over there’s exhilaration. You wouldn’t have that same feeling it the risk hadn’t been there.’ People of different skill levels experience flow at different times. As a result, some may always be driven to adventures that others consider extreme. ‘I can enjoy hitting a tennis ball around, because that’s my skill level,’ Murphy says. ‘But others might need the challenge of Olympic competition’. 61. By using the term ‘natural ceiling’, Lester Keller is_____________. A. pointing out that many people don’t actually want to do extreme sports B. explaining why some people aren’t as good as they’d like to be at sport C. suggesting a point at which extreme sportspeople should stop taking risks D. highlighting the level of skill many extreme athletes aim to reach 62. Daron Rahlves said that for him, taking risks__________________. A. was something that forced him to face difficulties he usually avoided B. wasn’t always worth what he had to put himself through physically C. was a way for him to continue to be excited by his place in the world D. was something he wouldn’t do unless he knew he could overcome them 63. What does ‘that’ in line 18 (paragraph 3) refer to? A. trying to do more difficult tricks B. Emily’s sense that she is being foolish C. doing things that other people don’t D. Emily’s desire to do acrobatic activities 64. What point is made in the fifth paragraph? A. Extreme athletes use techniques other people don’t use. B. Most people lack the focus required to do extreme sports. C. A certain state of mind makes attempting an activity more likely. D. Non-athletes are probably wise not to try extreme sports 65. What does the article as a whole tell us? A. Those who take risks are more likely to be successful in life. B. Taking part in extreme sports is not as difficult as people think. C. Extreme athletes are driven by a need to be better than others. D. Risk-taking is something you either naturally want to do or avoid. 61 62 63 64 65 Page 7 of 10
