Exercise 1

Directions:In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea.

For these banks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

If you were to stop people in the street and ask them to name a ship that had been sunk, it is likely that nearly all of them would say the Titanic. For the (36) ____________ of the Titanic was, of not the most (37) ______________, certainly the most famous sea disaster in the history of ocean (38) ______________.

The Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and a great deal of publicity had (39) _____________ it. The last point probably explains why so many important people from all (40) _____________ of life were on the boat when it went down.

The Titanic was on its maiden (41) ____________ to America in 1921 when it (42) _______________ an iceberg and sunk. Of its 2,200 passengers, more than two-third were drowned. Because the Titanic was thought to be (43) ____________ unsinkable, no one was prepared for the tragedy. (44) _______________________________________________________ ________________________________. There was a severe shortage of lifeboats and those that were launched were still half-empty. The one point of calm was to be found in the ballroom where the band carried on playing right to the very end.

The quality newspapers put a much lower one on entertainment.

It is not only in content that the two types of paper differ. There is a difference, too, in the style in which the articles are written.

This means that popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker to understand, though probably not for a non-native speaker.

(45) _______________________________________________________________________ _____________________________. Popular papers are generally smaller with fewer columns per page. They have bigger headlines and more photographs. There is a greater variety of typeface and printed symbols. The articles are shorter and there are fewer per page.

(46) _______________________________________________________________________ _____________________________. Large headlines, pictures and position on the page all serve to draw the reader’s attention to one article rather than another.
