answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Every four years the world watches the Olympic Games, which start when somebody from the host
country carries a torch into the stadium and lights the flame in the opening ceremony. The flame continues to
burn throughout the games until it is extinguished in the closing ceremony.
This is a tradition that started in ancient Greece, when a fire burnt throughout the ancient Olympics, but it
was not introduced to the modern games until 1928. The modern world welcomed the idea of an Olympic
flame with enthusiasm. In 1936, Carl Diem, a German sports official, came up with the idea of an Olympic
torch relay for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Since then the torch relay has been part of the Olympic
Games.
The Olympic torch is lit many months before the opening ceremony at Olympia, the site of the ancient
Olympics in Greece. Eleven women take part and one of them lights the torch from the sun using a special
mirror. After this, there is a ceremony in the Athenian Panathinaiko Stadium, where the Athens city
authorities deliver the torch to the officials of the host city.

 This ceremony is then followed by the torch relay. Traditionally, runners, including athletes, celebrities
and ordinary people carry the torch on a journey from Athens to the host city. The relay lasts for many months
and goes through many countries. Sometimes the torch travels by boat, or by plane.
The relay ends when the torch arrives at the Olympic stadium where the Games will take place. The final
carrier of the torch is often kept secret until the last moment, and is usually a famous sportsman or woman.
They use the torch to light the Olympic flame.
The torch relay represents the passing of Olympic traditions from one generation to the next. Since it was
introduced again in 1928, it has come to represent “the light of spirit, knowledge, and life”.
(From “Solutions Pre-intermediate” by Tim Falla and Paul A Davis)

Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 36 to 42
Photographic evidence suggests that liquid water once existed in great quantity on the surface of Mars.
Two types of flow features are seen: runoff channels and outflow channels. Runoff channels are found in the
southern highlands. These flow features are extensive systems of interconnecting, twisting channels that seem
to merge into larger, wider channels. They bear a strong resemblance to river systems on Earth, and
geologists think that they are dried-up beds of long-gone rivers that once carried rainfall on Mars from the
mountains down into the valleys. Runoff channels on Mars speak of a time 4 billion years ago, when the
atmosphere was thicker, the surface warmer, and liquid water widespread.
Outflow channels are probably relics of catastrophic flooding on Mars long ago. They appear only in
equatorial regions and generally do not form extensive interconnected networks. Instead, they are probably
the paths taken by huge volumes of water draining from the southern highlands into the northern plains. The
onrushing water arising from these flash floods likely also formed the odd teardrop-shaped "islands" that have
been found on the plains close to the ends of the outflow channels. Judging from the width and depth of the
channels, the flow rates must have been truly enormous – perhaps as much as a hundred times greater than the
105 tons per second carried by the great Amazon River. Flooding shaped the outflow channels approximately
3 billion years ago, about the same time as the northern volcanic plains formed.
Some scientists speculate that Mars may have enjoyed an extended early period during which rivers, lakes,
and perhaps even oceans adorned its surface. A 2003 Mars Global Surveyor image shows what mission
specialists think may be a delta – a fan-shaped network of channels and sediments where a river once flowed
into a larger body of water, in this case a lake filling a crater in the southern highlands. Other researchers go
even further, suggesting that the data provide evidence for large open expanses of water on the early Martian
surface. A computer-generated view of the Martian north polar region shows the extent of what may have
been an ancient ocean covering much of the northern lowlands. The Hellas Basin, which measures some
3,000 kilometers across and has a floor that lies nearly 9 kilometers below the basin's rim, is another
candidate for an ancient Martian sea.

A. To emphasize the great size of the volume of water that seems to have flowed through Mars’ outflow
channels
B. To indicate data used by scientists to estimate how long ago Mars’ outflow channels were formed

D. During what period of Mars' history do some scientists think it may have had large bodies of water?
Question 42. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 about liquid water on Mars?
A. If ancient oceans ever existed on Mars' surface, it is likely that the water in them has evaporated by now.
B. If there is any liquid water at all on Mars' surface today, its quantity is much smaller than the amount that
likely existed there in the past.
C. Small-scale gullies on Mars provide convincing evidence that liquid water existed on Mars in the recent
past.
