Who should you contact if you discover a fire?Reading passage 2Living Expenses--A Guide for Overseas Students1 In the mid-1990s it is estimated that a student living alone requires on average $12,000 in living expenses for each year of study. Of course, these costs increase with time.2 Upon arrival, students should have funds in excess of the average to cover the cost of textbooks and establishment expenses such as rental bond payment and basic furniture items. The amount spent on food, recreation, and entertainment expenses will vary according to requirements, budget, and location.3 Those who are prepared to live in shared accommodation, which may not be suitable for all, might manage on $10,000 per year. It is preferable for overseas students whose English is in need of practice to take advantage of live-in situations with native-speakers whenever possible. However, sharing with friends who are easy to communicate with is probably more sensible at first.4 The above figures do not include the cost of large non-essential items such as household equipment or a car. Owning and maintaining a motor vehicle is expensive in Australia. Insurance is compulsory and costly, and parking both on and of campus can be a problem requiring additional expense. It is not advisable for a student to own a car unless it is absolutely necessary. A reasonable second-hand car can cost in excess of $40005 Educational institutions are almost always serviced by reliable public transport. The university and college campuses within the major cities are well served by public busses. In addition, the larger cities have extensive train systems. For example, in Sydney, most college and university campuses are only 10 or 20 minutes from a rail station.6 The summer vacation requires special financial planning. Expenses for this period must be carefully estimated and added to costs for the academic year in order to give a realistic total figure for the calendar year. They are not included in the estimated $10,000-$12,000 previously quoted. University eating facilities, and some university and college housing facilities, close during this time. As a general rule, international students should expect to spend at least as much on monthly living expenses during the summer as they do during the academic year.7 Under present immigration regulations, international students are allowed to work up to 20 hours during term time and full-time during vacation. It is impossible for students to expect toearn sufficient funds working part-time to pay for tuition fees and living costs. While some students are able to supplement their funds with money from part-time and/or vacation work, such work is not always regular even when available, and this can contribute to anxiety and study problems. In general, it is unrealistic to start a course with insufficient funds in the hope that "something will turn up". Students should be aware that vacation work has become more difficult to find over the last few years, but those interested can contact the Commonwealth Employment Service or the Students' Union on campus.8 Warm clothes are necessary in the southern States during winter months, as night temperatures can drop to less than 10 degrees Celsius. Students should bring as much clothing from home as possible, especially if funds are limited. Information on where to buy inexpensive clothes can be obtained from the International Student Centre of most colleges and universities.9 Do not rush into buying expensive textbooks. It is advisable to wait until your first lectures and tutorials, and then ask academic staff which are the essential purchases. There is usually a second-hand bookshop on campus, and used texts are also advertised on faculty notice boards.10 The Students' Union coordinates a number of outlets on the various university campuses that provide stationery items and other essential study equipment at reasonable prices. Some courses require specialised equipment which can be quite costly, and it is wise to check any additional costs involved with the course of your choice.11 In general, those practically orientated courses tend to incur higher additional costs. Expenses for books, stationery, and equipment vary greatly, but you should allow approximately $500-$1000 a year.12 Most university campuses have banks and/or credit unions. The banks issue drafts, traveller's cheques or foreign currency notes, and accept telex or airmail transactions. In some colleges and universities the credit union is the institution's own credit union. In addition to normal banking and financial services (with no transaction charges), credit unions usually provide special services for international students.13 Money may be deposited or withdrawn from branches of the credit unions and banks during business hours from Monday to Friday (but not on public holidays) or 24 hours a day from the many on-campus automatic teller machines. Business hours for financial institutions vary, but credit unions are usually open from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays, and, generally, banks are open from 9.30 am to 4 pm (5 pm on Fridays). Some services are available on Saturday mornings in selected areas. While prices often compare favourably with prices overseas, because Australia is a large and exciting country it is very easy to overspend, especially if on a tight budget.Educationstationery8%Entertainment22%Food 15%15%Questions 5-15Complete the summary of the reading passage2 using words from the box.It is recommended that students have sufficient funds available to cover both the costs of living and studying while in Australia.

at the annual meeting of the Internationak Whaling commission(Iwc).Yet the possible return of commercial whaling across the world’s oceans still worries conservationists.At the IWC gathering in Ulsan,Korea,which ended today,Japan failed in its bid to life a ban on commercial whaling.But IWC members agreed to meet again to reconsider the issue with a view to ending the 19-year moratorium.In the wake of this latest impasse,some groups have called for the IWC to be reformed.Among those voicing criticism was Rune Frovik,secretary of the High North Alliabce,which represents fisherman and whalers in Nordic countries. “It’s just conflict all the time, ”he told the BBC . “They say they want to continue with a process,but in fact they are blocking progress. ”Despite setbacks for pro-whaling nations,such as Japan and Norway,they managed to further undermine the IWC:The countries indicated they will press ahead with plans to increase the nummber of whales killed under the rubric of scientific research programs.Japan signalled its intention to double its annual scientific catch of minke whales to about 900.It also aims to hunt 50 fin and humpback whales-species conservationists say are threatened.The commission criticized those plans and shot down Japan’s bid to allow communities on its northern Pacific coast to hunt 150 minke whales a year.It al so rejected Japan’s push to abolish the whale sanctuary in what many refer to as the S outhern Ocean-the Indian,Atlantic,and Pacific Ocean regions that sueeound Antarctica.The International Whaling Commission was formed in 1946 to whaling and to conserve the world ’s largest living animals.In 1982,with many whale populations close to extinction following centuries of exploitation,IWC member nations agreed to a ban on all commercial whaling.While the ban remains in effect,Japan,Norway,Iceland,and Greenland continue to hunt limited numbers of whales.The mammals are killed either as food for local consumption or for scientific purpose.Since 1994,the IWC has sought to negotiate a sustainable commercial whaling strategy to replacethe ban.Pro-whaling nations say it’s time for their proposal,known as the Revised Management Scheme(RMS),to be implemented.Japan has threatened to quit the IWC if the plan isn’t=====WORD 完整版----可编辑----专业资料分享=====adopted.Anti-whaling groups,such as the Wale and Dolphin Conservation Society based in Chippenham,England,oppose the RMS.Groups say the scheme wouldn’t detect,prevent,or penalize whaling violations and would jeopardize endangered whale populations.“Those that believe whaling can be broughe under control have had their eyes closed to the past century, ”said Niki Entrup of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.Entrup added that the whaling that has occurred,despite the current moratorium,shows that countries like Japan do not respect the decisions of the IWC.Currently Japan kills about 400 whales a year under the rubic of scientific research.Such programs don't fall within IWC jurisdicton.Norway has also set a quota to kill nearly 800 minke whales this summer.The nation is also considering scientific whaling of other species in future.Wildlife groups say most of the whales hunted under the aegis of scientific research end up being sold as food.Conservationists add that researches don ’t need to kill a w hale to study it.Non-lethal biopsy darts can potentially tell researchers as much about a whale ’s age, sex, diet, reproductive status, and genetics as a carcass can, argues Sue Lieberman, director of the Global Species Program for Conservation of the nonprofit World Wildlife Fund.“I think what this is about is the commercial market fot whale meat in Japan,”she said.However,Japan argues that a total ban on commercial buntinh is no longer justified. The nation says whale populations have recovered in the past two decades and that sustainable harvests are now possible. Japan notes that the IWC ’s scienific committee agrees that humpback whale nummbers are increasing by around 10 precent each year.The committee ’s most recent estimate also suggests that as many as a million minke whales live arrounf Antarctica alone.Surveys by the North Atlanic Marine Mammals Commission, based in Tromso, Norway, suggest minke whale numbers are either stable or increasing in all ares of the North Atlantic. The commission says current whaling quotas present no threat to the species.Joji Morishita, head of the Japanese IWC delegation, says the Revised Management Scheme, together with monitoring and inspection, would ensure regulated, sustainable whaling.“Science and law should prevail over emotions, ”he said. Japan’s Fisheries Ministry accuses nations opposed to any commercial whaling of“cultural imperialism.”Officicals ask how Australia and the United States would t a ke to being told they couln ’t hunt kangaroons or deer.As a cheap source of protein, whale meat became a staple in Japan after World War II. Authorities are currently promoting whale meat to younger gernations who are more used to Western-style fooda. In the wester coastal region of Wakeyama, Japan, around 280 schools are being supplied with whale meat. Education officials say they are trying to rekindle a centurues-old culinary tradition. And this week a Japanese fast-food chain, Lucky Pierrot, announced that it's putting whale burgers on it menus.Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage?TRUE FALSE NOT GIVEN if the statement agrees with the textif the statement contradicts with the text if no imformation is given1.

Michael Huffman and Mohamedi Seifu, working in the Mahale Mountains National Park in Tanzania, noticed that local chimpanzees suffering from intestinal worms would dose themselves with pith of a plant called Veronia. This plant produces poisonous chemicals called terpenes. Its pith contains a strong enough concentration to kill gut parasites, but not so strong as to kill chimps(nor people, for that matter; locals use the pith for the same purpose).Evidence for the detoxifying nature of clay came in 1999, from an experiment carried out on macaws by James Gilardi and his colleagues at the University of California, Davis, Macaws eat seeds containing alkaloids, a group of chemicals that has some notoriously toxic members such as strychnine. In the wild, the birds are frequently seen perched on eroding riverbanks eating clay.In 1972 Richard Wrangham, a researcher at the Gombe Stream Reserve in Tanzania, noticed that chimpanzees were eating the leaves of a tree called Aspilla. The chimps chose the leaves carefully by testing them in their mouths. Having chosen a leaf, a chimp would fold it into a fan and swallow it. Some of the chimps were noticedwrinkling their noses as they swallowed these leaves, suggesting the experience was unpleasant. Later, undigested leaves were found on the forest floor.It was Dr Huffman who got to the bottom of the problem. He did so by watching what came out of the chimps, rather than concentrating on what went in. He found that the egested l eaves were full of intestinal worms. The factor common to all 19 species of leaves swallowed by the chimps was that they were covered with microscopic hooks. These caught the worms and dragged them form their lodgings.Questions 21-25Complete t he notes below using NO MORE THAN ONE WORD OR NUMBER from the following paragraphsWrite your answers in boxes 5-9 on your answer sheet.Date Name Animal Food Mechanism1987 MichaelHuffman andMohanmediSeifu Chimpanzee 21______ofVeroniaContainedchemicals,22___, that cankill parasites1999 James Gilardiand hiscolleagues Macaw Seeds(contain23_____)andclayClaycan24____thepoisonouscontents infood1972 RichardWrang-ham Chimpanzee Leaves withtiny25_____onsurfaceSuch leavescan catch andexpel wormsfrom intestinesPassage two（每题3分，共15分）Sometimes ideas just pop up out of the blue.

The windows steamed up and Iwent to sleep with a towel against the glass. When I woke, the thing was soaking wet.I had to wring it out. And it set me thinking. Why was it so wet?”The answer, of course, was condensation. Back home in London, a physicistfriend, Philip Davies, explained that the glass, chilled by the rain outside, had cooledthe hot humid air inside the bus below its dew point, causing droplets of water to formon the inside of the window. Intrigued, Paton-a lighting engineer by profession-startedrigging up his own equipment. “I made my own solar stills. It occurred to me that you might be able to produce water in this way in the desert, simply by cooling the air. Iwondered whether you could make enough to irrigate fields and grow crops.”Today, a decade on, his dream has taken shape as giant greenhouse on a desertisland off Abu Dhabi in the Persian Gulf ---the first commercially viable Version ofhis “seawater greenhouse”.Questions 26-30Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 3?In boxes 27-31 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this26.

Some traditions are fairly similarfrom country to country: candles, cakes and birthdaywishes, birthday games andpinches for good luck. Other customs are quite different. Here are a few. Argentina –In Argentina, as in many Latin Americancountries,one of the mostimportant birthdayparties is a girl’s fifteenth. When girls turn 15, they have a huge party and dance the waltz first with their father, and then the boys at the party.China – The birthday child pays respect to the parents and receives a gift of money. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch, and noodl es are served to wish the birthdaychild a long life.Denmark– A flag is flown outside a wind ow to show that someone who lives in thathouse is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the child ’s bed while they aresleeping so they will see them immediately when they wake up.The Netherlands–Special year birthdayssuch as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called“crown ” years and the birthday child receives an especiallylarge gift. The family alsodecorates the birthday chil d ’s chair with fl owers or paper streamers, paper flowers andballoons.India–Usually Indian children wear white to school. However, on their birthdaychildren wear coloured clothes to school and give out chocolates to everyone in the class.Their best friend helps them to do this.Japan–The birthdaychild wears new clothes to mark the occasion.

Is it about being clever and getting A grades in all yourschool subjects? Or is it more complicated than that? Recent research in Asia, Africaand Latin America suggests the concept of intelligence differs from culture to culture.This research has shown that people in non-Western cultures often have ideas aboutintelligence that differ fundamentally from those in Western cultures. The studies showthat peopl e in Western cultures tend to see intelligence in terms of one’s ability to sol problems engage in rational debate. Meanwhil e, Eastern cultures see intelligence interms of people’s ability to successfully play their roles within social hierarchies both athome and at work.Researchers at the National Chi-Nan University in Taiwan found that Chinese id eas of intelligence emphasize understanding and relating to others, including knowing whento show and when not to show one’s intelligence.In a study conducted in San Jose, California, immigrant parents from Cambodia, Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as native-born Anglo-Americans andMexican-Americans, were asked what they saw as important in the devel opment of theirexcept Anglo-Americans – indicated that children’s intelligence. Parents from all groups –motivation and social skills were as important as, or more important than, academicskills in the devel opment of their children.Another study shows major differences in how much importance is given to verbaland non-verbal communication skills. Western cultures seem to value more highly theability to say things clearly, whereas non-Western cultures seem to value the use andunderstanding of gestures and facial expressions. Intelligence expert David Lazear saysthat in the Western worl d we tend to think that the most important thing about beingsmart is to have skills in reading, writing and mathematics. ‘However, many Asiancultures place at least equal value on the devel opment of one’s interpersonal skills. Theseinclud e being an effective team member, or the ability to create agreement within agroup of people.introspectiveMany Asian cultures also highly rate the development of a person’sabilities. This is the ability to “go inside” and acquire knowledge about yourself and then to be able to act on this increased self-knowledge. When I lived and worked in Africa, Ifound great importance given to such things as dance, music, art and drama as ways toexpress the deep wisd om of the culture and to reinforce key personal and social values.All the intelligences were valued, but somehow capacity in these areas was seen asspecial and even more profound.’Complete the summary below with ONLY ONE WORD from the passage.精品文档The notion of intelligence varies significantly from one culture to another. In Western cultures, a person’s intelligence is shown in his or her skills in seeking answers anddiscussions. However, Eastern cultures emphasize a participating in 26________________roles within a ranking system.person’s capability to undertake their 27________________and One research has shown that most immigrant families regard 28________________ interpersonal skills as more crucial than learning skills in their kids’personal development. In another study, many non-Western cultures are found to place a lot ofcommunication techniques such as gestures importance on utilizing 29________________and facial expressions. Moreover, many Asian cultures think very highly of a person’s 30 ________________ ability, which means getting to know more about oneself.Part 4 WritingPut the following sentences into the correct order to form a coherentparagraph.A With the arrival of rock and pop in the second half of the last century, theprotest song became more and more popular as artists discovered they couldget their message across immediately to a wide audience.B Music proved an extremely effective way of getting people to think andchallenge political d ecisions.C Music has always been used to express all the different human feelings, fromlove and happiness, to sadness and anger.D One of the most famous exampl es of this was the importance of music in the1960s counterculture movement –a movement which played an enormouspart in events such as getting American soldiers out of Vietnam and fighting forthe civil rights of African-Americans.E It is generally agreed that music as a form of protest probably originated in thecotton fields of America, with African slaves singing songs of freedom.The correct order of the above five sentences should be:31________32________33________34________35________For each of the items below, choose the most suitable sentence that makes精品文档sense to you.36 A Until you l earn to relax, you won’t improve your ability to speak English.B Until you relax to l earn, you aren’t improving your ability to speak English.C Until you l earn to relax, you haven’t improved your ability to speak English.D Until you relax more and l earn harder, you don’t improve your ability to speakEnglish.37 A Under the law, drivers and all passengers are permitted to wear seat belts whilea vehicl e is moving.B Under the law, while some drivers are encouraged to wear seat belts, otherpassengers might not d o so unless the vehicl e is moving.C Under the law, both drivers and all passengers are warned to wear seat belts nomatter whether the vehicl e is moving or not.D Under the law, drivers and all passengers are required to wear seat belts whil ein a moving vehicle.38 A The fact that he lacks interest in academic learning indicates his frequentabsence from class.B The fact that he is frequently absent from class indicates his lack of interest inacademic learning.C It is a fact that he is frequently absent from class; as a result, he is notinteresting in academic learning.D It is the fact that his frequent absence from class resulting from his lack ofinterest in academic l earning.39 A Some peopl e protest certain commercial fishing operations, consideringdolphins to be highly intelligent mammals, since they are killed unnecessarily.B Even though some people protest certain commercial fishing operations, theyconsider the highly intelligent mammals – dolphins – to be killed unnecessarily.C Some peopl e protest certain commercial fishing operations because dolphins,considered to be highly intelligent mammals, are kill ed unnecessarily.D Regardless of how some peopl e protest certain commercial fishing operations,dolphins are consid ered highly intelligent mammals to be killed unnecessarily.40 A The researchers are doing case studies of people that their family history hashigh blood pressure and heart disease to determine how important is heredityin health and l ongevity.B The researchers are doing case studies of people whose families have a historyof high blood pressure and heart disease to determine the importance of精品文档heredity in health and longevity.C The researchers are doing case studies of peopl e’s family history whether ornot there is high blood pressure and heart disease to determine heredity isreally important in health and longevity.D The researchers are doing case studies of family history in peopl e who havehigh blood pressure and heart disease to determine the important heredity intheir health and l ongevity.精品文档。

He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters. It was then that the question of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an axe or a plough. But as more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money. In some countries easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer, instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity of the metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.22 Exchange of goods became difficult because _________.A: man became more civilizedB: smiths began to look after land or cattle in their spare timeC: more and more goods which had no fixed exchange values came to the markerD farmers hadn’t enough grain or meat to provide for skilled workers23 Money was not used until _______.A: paper was inventedB: people practiced a simple process of exchangeC: nothing could be offered in exchangeD: the exchange of one thing for another became too complicated24 The best title for this passage is _____.A: What is moneyB: What are money’s functions.C: The importance of moneyD: The beginning of moneyPassage 2When was the last time you saw a frog? Chances are, if you live in a city, you have not seen one for some time. Even in wet areas once teeming with frogs and toads, it is becoming less and less easy to find those slimy, hopping and sometimes poisonous members of the animal kingdom. All over the world, and even in remote parts of Australia, frogs are losing the ecological battle for survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise. Are amphibians simply oversensitive to changes in the ecosystem? Could it be that their rapid decline in numbers is signaling some coming environmental disaster for us all?This frightening scenario is in part the consequence of a dramatic increase over the last quarter century in the development of once natural areas of wet marshland; home not only to frogs but to all manner of wildlife. However, as yet, there are no obvious reasons why certain frog species are disappearing from rainforests in Australia that have barely been touched by human hand. The mystery is unsettling to say the least, for it is known that amphibian species are extremely sensitive to environmental variations in temperature and moisture levels. The danger is that planet Earth might not only lose a vital link in the ecological food chain (frogs keep populations of otherwise pestilent insects at manageable levels), but we might be increasing our output of air pollutants to levels that may have already become irreversible. Frogs could be inadvertently warning us of a catastrophe.An example of a species of frog that, at far as is known, has become extinct is the platypus frog. Like the well-known Australian mammal it was named after, it exhibited some very strange behavior; instead of giving birth to tadpoles in the water, it raised its young within its stomach. The baby frogs were actually born from out of their mother's mouth. Discovered in 1981, less than ten years later the frog had completely vanished from the crystal clear waters of Booloumba Creek near Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately, this freak of nature is not the only frog species to have been lost in Australia. Since the 1970s, no less than eight others have suffered the same fate.One theory that seems to fit the facts concerns the depletion of the ozone layer, a well documented phenomenon which has led to a sharp increase in ultraviolet radiation levels. The ozone layer is meant to shield the Earth from UV rays, but increased radiation may be having a greater effect upon frog populations than previously believed. Another theory is that worldwide temperature increases are upsetting the breeding cycles of frogs.TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN25. Frogs are disappearing only from city areas.26. Biologists are unable to explain why frogs are dying.27. Attempts are being made to halt the development of wet marshland.28. Frogs are important in the ecosystem because they control pests.29. The platypus frog became extinct by 1991.30. Eight frog species have become extinct so far in Australia.。

But despite thissetback, William was determined to get his education.He began visiting a local library that had just openedin his old primary school, where he discovered atattered science book. With only a rudimentary graspof English, he taught himself basic physics-mainly byStudying photos and diagrams. Another book hefound there featured windmills on the cover andinspired him to try and build his own.He started by constructing a small model. Then, with the help of a cousin and friend, he spent many weeks searching scrap yards and found old tractor fans, shock absorbers, plastic pipe and bicycle parts, which he used to build the real thing.For windmill blades, William cut some bath pipe in two lengthwise, then heated the pieces over hot coals to press the curled edges flat. To bore holes into the blades, he stuck a nail through half a corncob, heated the metal red and twisted it through the blades. It took three hours to repeatedly heat the nail and bore the holes. He attached the blades to a tractor fan using proper nuts and bolts and then to the back axle of a bicycle. Electricity was generated through the bicycle dynamo. When the wind blew the blades, the bike chain spun the bike wheel, which charged the dynamo and sent a current through wire to his house.What he had built was a crude machine that produced 12 volts and powered four lights. When it was all done, the windmill’s wingspan measured more than eight feet and sat on top of a ricketytower 15 feet tall that swayed violently in strong gales. He eventually replaced the tower with a sturdier one that stands 39 feet, and built a second machine that watered a family garden.The windmill brought William Kamkwamba instant local fame, but despite his accomplishment, he was still unable to return to school. However, news of his magetsi a mphepo -electric wind -spread beyond Malawi, and eventually things began to change. An education official, who had heard news of the windmill, came to visit his village and was amazed to learn that William had been out of school for five years. He arrayed for him to attend secondary school at the government's expense and brought journalists to the farm to see the windmill. Then a story published in the Malawi Daily Mail caught the attention of bloggers, which in tum caught the attention of organizers for the Technology Entertainment and Design conference.In 2007, William spoke at the TED Global conference in Tanzania and got a standing ovation. Businessmen stepped forward with offers to fund his education and projects, and with money donated by them, he was able to put his cousin and several friends back into school and pay for some medical needs of his family. With the donation, he also drilled a borehole for a well and water pump in his village and installed drip irrigation in his father's fields.The water pump has allowed his family to expand its crops. They have abandoned tobacco and new grow maize, beans, soybeans, potatoes and peanuts. The windmills have also brought big lifestyle and health changes to the other villagers. 'The village has changed a lot,1 William says. 'Now, the time that they would have spent going to fetch water, they are using for doing other things. And also the water they are drinking is dean water, so there is less disease. The villagers have also stopped using kerosene and can use the money previously spent on fuel to buy other things.William Kamkwamba's example has inspired other children in the village to pursue science. William says they now see that if they put their mind to something, they can achieve it. 'It has changed the way people think,’ he says.Questions 1-5Complete the flow chart below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Building the WindmillWilliam learned some 1 .......... from a library book.First, he built a 2 ............. of the windmill.Then he collected materials from 3.............. with a relative.He made the windmill blades from pieces of 4. .............He fixed the blades to a 5 .............. and then to part of a bicycle.He raised the blades on a tower.Questions 6-10Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?

IELTS Placement TestSection 1ListeningListen to Extracts 1 and 2 and answer questions 1, 2 and 3.Now listen to Extract 3 and answer questions 4-6.Now listen to Extract and answer questions 7-10.Section 2ReadingYou should spend about 10 minutes on Questions 11-16 which are based on Reading passage1 below.Text 1Childhood obesity goes globalA Childhood obesity is rapidly becoming a global epidemic. The US continues to lead the way, with as many as 37% of its children and adolescents carrying around too much fat. But other countries are rapidly catching up. According to statistics presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Finland, more than 20% of European youngsters between the ages of 5 and 17 are either overweight or obese. Asia lags behind the US and Europe in its obesity statistics, but Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and the Philippines have all reported troubling increases in recent years. Up to 10% of China's 290 million children are already believed to be overweight or obese, and that percentage is expected to have doubled a decade from now. So across Asia too, childhood obesity is on the rise, and a less marked trend has been documented even in urbanized areas of sub-Saharan Africa.B Why do children become obese? One important factor is insulin, a hormone which enables the body to store extra calories as fat. Physical exercise helps control insulin levels, while ingesting fat combined with starches and sugar can cause surges in insulin levels. A child who sits in front of the TV for hours on end, eating potato chips and doughnuts, is an ideal fat-storage machine.C What is urgently needed is for schools, health professionals, parents and children to work together. Encouragingly, changing a family's lifestyle in healthy ways does not appear to be all that difficult: it involves regular exercise, slightly smaller portions and slightly different foods. And this, say health officials, is a message that badly needs to get out.Questions 11-16Do the following statements agree with the information given in Text 1 WriteTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this11.Just over one third of the total population of the US is overweight.
