Device-centred communication has become almost universal over the past twenty years. More than
three quarters of people in the world now own a mobile device, and more than half communicate via
social networking
It is now hard to imagine a world without mobile devices consisting of such things as mobile
phones, laptops and tablets. They allow us to stay in touch with a large network of friends, no matter
where they are. But many experts say that communicating with a device is nothing like talking with
someone in person. "Body language, eye contact and tone of voice can tell us so much," psychologist
Mary Peters says. "And none of those exist on a device. Even video chat removes many subtle clues."
We don't know to what extent these technologies will permanently change the way people interact.
People will always want to meet up with others in small and large groups. Indeed, it is fair to say that
social media makes it easier than ever before for people to organise social events. However, there is still
a danger that device-centred communication may have a negative long-term impact on the way people
interact with each other on a day-to-day basis.
We must not, therefore, lose sight of the need to focus on the actual people around us, and
remember that they deserve our real - not virtual - attention. The idea of a culture where people always
have a screen between them sounds a bit funny, because deep understanding comes when we see the
reactions on other people's faces.

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.
A recent survey into how teenagers in a Southeast Asian country spend their free time has come
up with what some people regard as a surprising finding: many of those surveyed reported that they would
rather stay at home and do things indoors than go out and experience real-life adventures. One in four
teenagers surveyed believed that online experiences were as fulfilling as real life, and more than half were
actually afraid of trying new experiences. When asked about their most memorable experience over the
previous ten months, nearly 30% of boys said 'playing a new video game', while 10% of all teenagers said
it was watching a new TV series. On asking for more detailed information, researchers found that 20% of
boys and 22% of girls said they had never had a real-life adventure.
It would be easy to blame technological advances for these findings. After all, today's teenagers
have many more indoor activities to choose from than did their parents. About half a century ago, children
were expected to spend more of their free time outside. But researchers do not put the blame wholly on
technology.
To members of older generations, these findings are worrying, because it means that young people
increasingly rely on virtual reality and are consequently missing real outdoor activities such as mountain
climbing, kayaking, etc., which have always been regarded as both enjoyable and character- building. The
surveyed adults said they thought today's youth were more protected than they had been when they were
growing up. Giving examples of this protection, more than half said they would not let their teenage
children hitchhike or go on holiday without an adult. Seven in ten said they would not even allow teenagers
to get into a taxi on their own. It is not clear whether adults believe the world is more dangerous than it
used to be or whether they do not trust today's youngsters to look after themselves.
(Adapted from Cambridge English First for Schools)
Question 44: Which of the following can be the main idea of the passage?
A. Thorough research on teenagers' online games and outdoor activities
B. Teenagers' free-time activity preferences and adults' concerns
C. Viewpoints on teenagers' free-time adventures and online games
D. Fears and tensions encountered by teenagers and adults' concerns

The Japanese love inventing and they are very good at it. But there is one inventor who has invented
more things than anyone else in Japan - Dr. Nakamats. He has designed over 4,000 new inventions over
the last fifty years. He is most well-known for his unusual inventions.
He designed many strange things such as glasses which look like eyes so you can't notice them, shoes
which have steel springs so that you can jump in them, and a pillow which stops you from falling asleep
when you are driving.
How does he come up with these ideas? He finds listening to Beethoven helpful. But the thing that
makes him most creative is holding his breath underwater. He dives into his swimming pool every day
and stays underwater as long as he can. He believes that less oxygen in the brain is good for new ideas.
He also dives with a pencil and a notebook which he invented. He needs to write down his ideas
immediately in the water because they disappear quickly.
Dr. Nakamats believes that eating the right food is important for creativity, and he has invented some
(snacks that he says are good for your brain. He has also invented an armchair which helps to enhance
your brainpower. He sits in the chair every day to give him more good ideas. Dr. Nakamats is now in his
eighties, but he plans to live until he is 144 years old, so he still has plenty of time to develop even more
new ideas.
(Adapted from Get Ahead)
Question 31: The passage is mainly about_______.
A. inventions by famous Japanese inventors
B. Japanese famous inventions by a scientist
C. a famous Japanese scientist and his strange inventions

Action movies are exciting and a lot of fun to watch, but they also involve scenes of great risk and
danger. In the language of filmmaking, dangerous actions are called stunts. Who performs these stunts?
This work is too dangerous for regular actors. Movie companies usually hire special stunt people to stand
in for the actors in scenes that are unsafe.
Movie producers don't like to let actors do their own stunt work. If the actors injure themselves, it can
delay the production schedule. Using stunt people also saves time. Most stunt people have years of
experience, which enables them to perform their stunts with a minimum of risk. It would take too long to
train the actors to perform dangerous scenes safely.
Some people who love the thrill of dangerous sports such as skydiving or rock climbing think it would
be easy to work as a stunt person. But it isn't enough to be a risk-taker. Stunt performers also have to
know what to do if anything goes wrong.
In addition to risk-taking and meticulous (attention to detail and planning, stunt work requires being
in top physical condition. Although there are a few training programmes for stunt performers, most
provide only an overview of the profession. Normally, the people who attend these programmes already
have experience in dangerous sports, rescue work, or the military. So the best way to prepare for a career
in stunt work is to train in an area that involves strong physical conditioning and has an element of physical
danger.
Modern filmmaking techniques have changed the way some dangerous scenes are filmed. For example,
computer-generated images make it possible to show stunts that would be too dangerous or expensive for
real stunt people to perform. Computer-generated images are often used today to create big fight scenes,
car crashes, and explosions. However, they are not always the best choice. Many audiences want to see
real people perform actual stunts. Also, the rising popularity of made-for-TV movies around the world
ensures that there is still plenty for stunt people in the film industry.
