A Ballooning Challenge
For those people who go out in search of adventure, a long-distance flight in a hot-air
balloon is a particularly exciting (1) _______. Indeed, a round-the-world balloon trip is
widely regarded as the (2) _______ challenge. One well-known adventurer, David

_________ the North Pole in a hot-air balloon, a more significant achievement in his eyes.
Given that the distance and altitudes (4) _______ are comparatively modest, you might
wonder why the trip from Canada to the Pole, should present such a challenge.
Part of the appeal was that such a flight had not even been attempted for over a
century. In those days, such expeditions were huge events, with a nation's pride (5)

Part 3. (10 pts) Read the passage and choose the best answer to the questions
The first two decades of this century were dominated by the microbe hunters. These hunters
had tracked down one after another of the microbes responsible for the most dreaded scourges of
many centuries: tuberculosis, cholera, diphtheria. But there remained some terrible diseases for
which no microbe could be incriminated: scurvy, pellagra, rickets, and beriberi. Then it was
discovered that these diseases were caused by the lack of vitamins, a trace substance in the diet.
The diseases could be prevented or cured by consuming foods that contained the vitamins. And so
in the decades of the 1920’s and 1930’s, nutrition became a science and the vitamin hunters
replaced the microbe hunters.
In the 1940’s and 1950’s, biochemists strived to learn why each of the vitamins was essential
for health. They discovered that key enzymes in metabolism depend on one or another of the
vitamins as coenzymes to perform the chemistry that provides cells with energy for growth and
function. Now, these enzyme hunters occupied center stage.
You are aware that the enzyme hunters have been replaced by a new breed of hunters who are
tracking genes – the blueprints for each of the enzymes – and are discovering the defective genes
that cause inherited diseases – diabetes, cystic fibrosis. These gene hunters, or genetic engineers,
use recombinant DNA technology to identify and clone genes and introduce them into bacterial
cells and plants to create factories for the massive production of hormones and vaccines for

9
 medicine and for better crops for agriculture. Biotechnology has become a multibillion-dollar
industry.
In view of the inexorable progress in science, we can expect that the gene hunters will be
replaced in the spotlight. When and by whom? Which kind of hunter will dominate the scene in
the last decade of our waning century and in the early decades of the next? I wonder whether the
hunters who will occupy the spotlight will be neurobiologists who apply the techniques of the
enzyme and gene hunters to the functions of the brain. What to call them? The head hunters. I will
return to them later.
• microbe: an extremely small living thing which you can only see if you use a microscope

5 How do vitamins influence health?
A. They are necessary for some enzymes to C. They keep food from spoiling

Part 4: (10 points)
Read the following passage and answer the questions 1-10
Why Are Finland’s Schools Successful?
The country's achievements in education have other nations doing their homework.

A_____ At Kirkkojarvi Comprehensive School in Espoo, a suburb west of Helsinki, Kari

Louhivuori, the school's principal, decided to try something extreme by Finnish standards.
One of his sixth-grade students, a recent immigrant, was falling behind, resisting his
teacher's best efforts. So he decided to hold the boy back a year. Standards in the country
have vastly improved in reading, math and science literacy over the past decade, in large
part because its teachers are trusted to do whatever it takes to turn young lives around. 'I
took Besart on that year my private student,’ explains Louhivuori. When he was not
studying science, geography and math Besart was seated next to Louhivuori's desk, taking
books from a tall stack, slowly reading one, then another, then devouring them by the
dozens. By the end of the year, he had conquered his adopted country's vowel-rich
language and arrived at the realization that he could, in fact, learn.

B_____ This tale of a single rescued child hints at some of the reasons for Finland's
amazing record of education success. The transformation of its education system began
some 40 years ago but teachers had little idea it had been so successful until 2000, In this
year, the first results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a
standardized test given to 15-year-olds in more than 40 global venues, revealed Finnish
youth to be the best at reading in the world. Three years later, they led in math By 2006,
Finland was first out of the 57 nations that participate in science. In the latest PISA scores,
the nation came second in science, third in reading and sixth in math among nearly half a
million students worldwide.

C_____ In the United States, government officials have attempted to improve standards by
introducing marketplace competition into public schools. In recent years, a group of Wall
11
Street financiers and philanthropists such as Bill Gates have put money behind private-
sector ideas, such as charter schools, which have doubled in number in the past decade.
President Obama, too, apparently thought competition was the answer. One policy invited
states to compete for federal dollars using tests and other methods to measure teachers, a
philosophy that would not be welcome in Finland. 'I think, in fact, teachers would tear off
their shirts," said Timo Heikkinen, a Helsinki principal with 24 years of teaching
experience, 'If you only measure the statistics, you miss the human aspect.'

D_____ There are no compulsory standardized tests in Finland, apart from one exam at the
end of students' senior year in high school. There is no competition between students,
schools or regions. Finland’s schools are publicly funded. The people in the government
agencies running them, from national officials to local authorities, are educators rather than
business people or politicians. Ever school has the same national goals and draws from the
same pool of university-trained educators. The result is that a Finnish child has a good
chance of getting the same quality education no matter whether he or she lives in a rural
village or a university town.

E_____ It's almost unheard of for a child to show up hungry to school. Finland provides
three years of maternity leave and subsidized day care to parents, and preschool tor all
five-year-olds, where the emphasis is on socializing. In addition, the state subsidizes
parents, paying them around 150 euros per month for every child until he or she turns 17.
Schools provide food, counseling and taxi service if needed. Health care is even free for
students taking degree courses.
F _____ Finland's schools were not always a wonder. For the first half of the twentieth
century, only the privileged got a quality education. But In 1963, the Finnish Parliament
made the bold decision to choose public education as the best means of driving the
economy forward and out of recession. Public schools were organized into one system of
comprehensive schools for ages 7 through 16. Teachers from all over the nation
contributed to a national curriculum that provided guidelines, not prescriptions, for them to
12
refer to. Besides Finnish and Swedish (the country's second official language), children
started learning a third language (English is a favorite) usually beginning at age nine. The
equal distribution of equipment was next, meaning that all teachers had their fair share of
teaching resources to aid learning. As the comprehensive schools improved, so did the
upper secondary schools (grades 10 through 12). The second critical decision came in
1979, when it was required that every teacher gain a fifth-year Master's degree in theory
and practice, paid for by the state. From then on, teachers were effectively granted equal
status with doctors and lawyers. Applicants began flooding teaching programs, not because
the salaries were so high but because autonomous decision making and respect made the
job desirable. And as Louhivuori explains, 'We have our own motivation to succeed
because we love the work.'

Part 1. Summary writing (10 pts)
Summarize the passage about the effects of food on sleep in about 100 words.
How You Sleep is What You Eat
Are You having problems feeling sleepy when you want to be alert and vice-versa?
Perhaps you need to look at your diet, as it may be the culprit. The brain's state of
sleepiness or alertness, calmness or anxiousness is said to be determined by messengers in
the body called neuro-transmitters.
One of these which is called serotonin helps us feel calm and relaxed. Researchers have
found that eating large amounts of carbohydrate foods, such as sweets, potatoes and grain
products increases brain levels of serotonin. High-protein meals or snacks, consisting
mostly of meat, on the other hand, tend to cause brain levels of serotonin to remain low.
A French study that varied the amount of carbohydrate fed to subjects found that an intake
of carbohydrate with an equal serving of protein products did not cause drowsiness. But
when very large amounts of carbohydrate were provided without protein, subjects reported
feeling drowsy. This drowsiness occurred even after exercise which normally causes
people to feel more alert.
We can take advantage of these findings to determine when to stay alert or to get some
sleep. A snack that is largely carbohydrate-based may relax us and make it easier for us to
fall asleep. On the other hand, when you are trying to stay awake, a balanced meal that
includes protein (meat, chicken, fish, dairy products or dried beans) as well as modest
portions of grains, vegetables and fruit is more likely to help than loading up on a huge
platter of meatless pasta.
Some experiments suggest that the effects may vary depending on the particular
carbohydrate foods chosen. The ability of carbohydrates to increase brain serotonin
16
involves a rise in insulin levels in the blood when carbohydrate is eaten. Large
carbohydrate portions, or those that cause a faster rise in blood sugar such as sweets,
potatoes, bread, refined cereals will cause greater increases in serotonin (and sleepiness).
Fruit and dried beans contain carbohydrate that raises blood sugar more slowly, and so
would not be expected to raise serotonin levels as high.
But what about good nutrition? Eating to stay alert just means including some protein in
our meals. However, do not overeat grain products just because they are fat-free. By
including plenty of high-fiber fruit or vegetables in meals, blood sugar and insulin will rise
moderately, and serotonin level in the brain will not jump dramatically.
Nevertheless when it comes to getting a good night's sleep, studies clearly show that it is
more than just what we eat. Some people are very sensitive to caffeine in coffee, tannin in
tea and even to soda pops, even when it is consumed as early as 5.00 p.m. Other people
find that the key to a good night's sleep lies in establishing a routine pattern of pre-bedtime
behaviors, keeping a consistent bedtime, getting regular exercise, and learning relaxation
techniques. If you are extremely sleepy throughout the day, check your eating patterns. Do
not try to compensate for lack of sleep at night by eating protein and scraping by on
caffeine; adequate sleep is essential.

Part 3: Essay writing (30 points)
Some sociologists say that, it is a waste of time for students to pursue secondary education
for 12 years. It is better to shorten it to nine years only, then go to vocational school to
learn a skill applied in their jobs or go to university to get a degree. To what extent do you
agree with this? State your views and reasons. You should write between 300 and 350
words.

Suggested answers 1:
The graph shows changes in the amount of fresh fruit, sugar and ice-cream eaten
per person per week in Britain between 1985 and 2010.
People consumed more fresh fruit than either sugar or ice-cream throughout the
period. In 1985, the consumption of fresh fruit stood at 500 grams, then increased to 600
grams in 1990. Although it dipped in 1995, it then rose steadily and reached 750 grams
in 2010.
In contrast, there was a consistent drop in sugar consumption. The amount
consumed decreased steadily from almost 400 grams per person to only 100 grams by
2010.
The amount of ice-cream consumed weekly started at about 30 grams. However,
this gradually increased throughout the period. By 2010 it was at the same level as the
consumption of sugar.
Page | 5
 It is clear that overall, the consumption of fruit rose, while the consumption of
sugar fell. In addition, the consumption of ice-cream, while at a relatively low level, rose
significantly during this period. (161 words)

Suggested answers 2:
The graph shows changes in the amount of fresh fruit, sugar and ice cream eaten
per person per week in Britain between 1985 and 2010.
It is an obvious trend that people consumed more fresh fruit than either sugar or
ice-cream throughout the period. In 1985, the consumption of fresh fruit stood at 500
grams, then increased to 600 grams in 1990. After a slight dip in 1995, the figure rose
steadily and reached 750 grams in 2010, an increase of 50% compared to the 1985’s
figure.
In contrast, there was a consistent drop in sugar consumption. The amount
consumed decreased steadily from about 400 grams per person to only 105 grams by
2010, being a fourth of the amount in 1985.
On the other hand, there was an overall slight increasing trend in the consumption
of ice-cream although it remained quite low throughout the period. The figure started at
30 grams in 1985 and rose steadily to be at almost the same level with sugar, at around
100 grams in 2010.
It can be seen from the graph that overall, fruit has been eaten more by British
people and become the most consumed compared to sugar and ice-cream. (200 words)

TAPESCRIPT
Part 1
You will hear a talk about Sick Building Syndrome, which is ill health that is believed to be
caused by buildings. For questions 1-10, complete the sentences.
Have you ever gone back to work after a break or a holiday and been suddenly hit by a
complete lack of energy? And you wonder whether it’s simply because you’re not relaxing
any more but you think that perhaps it's something else, something to do with your
environment.
Well, you could be right. In 1982. the World Health Organization defined Sick Building
Syndrome as “a
syndrome of complaints covering non-specific feelings of ill health, the onset of which is
associated with the occupancy of certain modem buildings". To those suffering from it. it
means feelings of lack of energy, headaches, dry skin, even itchy eyes. And while the general
view might be that there’s a chance of getting sick if you work in a factory and that you
wouldn’t expect to feel unwell when you go to work in offices, this is not true.
The office, it seems, is not the safe and healthy environment it is traditionally thought to be.
Surveys among office workers have revealed that large numbers of them in the same building
can be affected by the symptoms. Some are affected only from time to time, and others all
week but a common finding was that sufferers were mainly affected at the beginning of the
week and when they’d been out of the building for some time. And the symptoms disappeared
quite quickly when they left work. However, the problem is often a hidden one because many
people don't associate the problems with their environment, they think it's probably something
about them themselves. And they often say nothing about it because if they do so they might
be accused of being complainers. It has been suggested that the problems could arise for
reasons as simple as that the central heating is too high. But it is a mistake to look for simple
explanations of what is a complex matter. It could be just that the heating is up too high but
this does not explain the range of symptoms that sufferers in the same building can have or the
fact that these occur in buildings with similar.

Part 4:
Int: Good morning from the conference centre,where the Science Fair is taking place. It’s
anannual event designed to give young people theopportunity to learn more about the
scientificprocess through experimentation, problemsolving, and in-depth learning. With me is
KieranShaw, a Physics teacher accompanying hisstudents. Tell me, Kieran, what do you think
ofthis fair compared to that of previous years?
Kieran: It’s excellent, certainly up to last year’s alreadyhigh standards as far as the projects
themselvesare concerned, and with the same numberentered, which I think is about right. I just
hopethey manage to avoid (1) last year’s row over thefinal choice of winners, which was
controversialto say the least. There’s a different panel thistime and that should make a difference,
butthere’s no change in their policy of awardingthree prizes in each category, and I think thatalso
makes sense.
Int: You say the numbers taking part here have held up, but is that the case in other fairs?
Kieran: Not everywhere, no. And I’m a little worried that we might start to see fewer people
taking part in them generally.
Int: Is that because of the economic situation, with schools having to make cutbacks?
Kieran: In most cases it costs schools little or nothing for students to attend, so that’s unlikely
to be a factor, and neither is the expense involved in developing and presenting the projects,
which most students’ families find reasonablyaffordable. (2) Of more concern is the feeling
insome quarters that actually going somewhere to see science in action belongs to the preinternet
era, though the majority of the studentsthemselves seem as keen as ever to attend fairs, despite
the fact that it usually meansgiving up a Saturday to do so!
Int: There are also some issues surrounding the fairs themselves, aren’t there?
Kieran: Yes, one of the key ones being the traditional male dominance of science subjects,
leading to girls being under-represented in these projects– though happily there’s a good gender
balance across my groups. They’re also good at workingin and between groups, so there isn’t
the overcompetitive atmosphere that some peoplecomplain about. (3) A more valid point is that
someone whose father, say, is a chemist may not be doing all the work themselves, and I have
Page | 11
had to look into one or two cases like that. It’s also sometimes alleged that those from wealthy
backgrounds can afford to go for more complexprojects, but I think there’s a good
socioeconomic mix in each of my groups, too.
Int: So what’s the main criterion when selecting a topic? Its originality?
Kieran: Well, that’s certainly a factor to take into account, but (4) first and foremost it must be
something capable of holding the participants’attention over the months leading up to the fair.
Avoiding areas that might be too complicated for young students to explain clearly in
theirpresentation matters, too – as, by the way, does anything that may require spending a lot on
apparatus – but not to the same extent.
Int: How do students get on doing their presentations? I imagine some are prettynervous.
Kieran: Yes, and to overcome their nerves some of them try to learn everything off by heart and
then make a speech to the judges, which of courseisn’t how it works. The judges will look at the
display and perhaps briefly at their notes, and then ask them some questions. It’s important they
don’t rush their answers, but it’s also best to keep them simple, (5) avoiding any jargon they’re
unable to explain if asked to by the judges. That happens quite often, and doesn’tgive a good
impression. The important thing is knowing what everything in their notes means, and being
able to answer questions about it.
Int: Finally, Kieran, which project do you think will win in the senior category?
Kieran: I’d say there are three clear front runners, and (6)the odds are that the one measuring
the amountof bacteria present on various kitchen utensilswill come out on top. Of course, I’d
rather theproject on where fresh cherries deteriorate mostslowly won because that’s my group’s
entry, butI don’t think it’ll happen for them this time. Asrunner-up, I’d pick the one about
whether thequality of our vision is different in the morningand afternoon. Or perhaps the one
designed totest the theory that it’s best to wear black in hotweather because it is much more
efficient thanwhite at absorbing heat from our body – whichof course is a much closer energy
source thanthe sun.
Int: You learn something every day! Thank you,Kieran.
