MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE

The decision as to which university to apply to is often taken on the basis of a university’s position on the world rankings table. Yet, other considerations, such as whether the course is (21.THEORY) ……………… or offers hands-on experience and the amount of time that students will need to work independently should be taken into account. The fact is that some undergraduates who express their (22. COMPLAIN) ……………… with their university experience base their (23. SATISFY) ……………… on poor organisation, the lack of support received and on having fewer contact hours than expected.

As higher education providers come under increasing pressure to meet established targets and to maintain or improve their status, course guidelines should (24. CLEAR) ………………… what participants can expect from the course and what the course expects from them. This should ensure a reduction in student drop-out rates. Inevitably, though, no matter how much the content and structure is spelt out, some students will turn up with (25. REAL) ………………… expectations that can never be met.

Part 3: Read the text below and think of the word which best fits each space. Use only ONE word in each space. (0.5pt)

CONFIDENCE TRICKS

Whether it is a job interview, a wedding speech or just asking someone out, there are times when we all want to appear confident, despite (26) ………………. feeling that way inside. Some people are more self-assured than others, it is true, but there are also a number of tricks that are worth remembering. The important thing, (27) ………………. all, is that you appear confident to others, and also that you do not allow a negative attitude to defeat you before the game has even begun.

Our bodies give us away most; a case of nerves produces adrenalin, which (28)………………. havoc with our systems, causing the shaky voice, the trembling hands and the sweaty forehead. So (29) ………………. from the mental preparation, there are a number of physical steps you can take.

The first is to stand straight, head up and shoulders back; a drooping posture immediately sends out a message of resignation. One way to quickly achieve this is to look up at the ceiling or sky for five seconds or (30) ……………….; this will have the added benefit of lifting your facial expression upwards, banishing the frown and the downturned mouth.

SECTION 3: READING (2PTS)

Part 1: 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. (1.5pts)

Each advance in microscopic technique has provided scientists with new perspective, on the function of living organisms and the nature of matter itself. The invention of the visible light microscope late in the sixteenth century introduced a previously unknown realm of single-celled plants and animals. In the twentieth century, electron microscopes have provided direct views of viruses and minuscule surface structures. Now another type of microscope, one that utilizes X rays rather than light or electrons, offers a different way of examining tiny details; it should extend human perception still farther into the natural world.

The dream of building an X-ray microscope dates to 1895; its development, however, was virtually halted in the 1940’s because the development of the electron microscope was progressing rapidly. During the 1940’s electron microscopes routinely achieved resolution better than that possible with a visible-light microscope, while the performance of X-ray microscopes resisted improvement. In recent years, however, interest in X-ray microscopes has revived, largely because of advances such as the development of new sources of X-ray illumination. As a result, the brightness available today is millions of times that of X-ray tubes, which, for most of the century, were the only available sources of soft X rays.

The new X-ray microscopes considerably improve on the resolution provided by optical microscopes. They can also be used to map the distribution of certain chemical elements. Some can form pictures in extremely short times; others hold the promise of special capabilities such as three-dimensional imaging. Unlike conventional electron microscopy, X ray microscopy enables specimens to be kept in air and in water, which means that biological samples can be studied under conditions similar to their natural state. The illumination used, so-called soft X rays in the wavelength range of twenty to forty angstroms (an angstrom is one ten-billionth of a. meter), is also sufficiently penetrating to image intact biological cells in many cases. Because of the wavelength of the X rays used, soft X-ray microscopes will never match the highest resolution possible with electron microscopes. Rather, their special properties will make possible investigations that will complement those performed with light- and electron-based instruments.

36. Why did it take so long to develop the X-ray microscope?

A. Funds for research were insufficient.

B. The source of illumination was not bright enough until recently.

NEWS SHARING

The way we obtain our news coverage is always evolving. The public can gain information on current events from a wide variety of sources. Centuries ago, news was obtained either by word of mouth, with town criers (41) ……………..…. citizens of news and by-laws, or from print, with notices posted on doors of the local inn. With the (42) ……………..…. of radio, whole families could gather together in the living room to listen to the daily news bulletin. Even today, when TV sets occupy a prime (43) ……………..…. in the most used rooms in our house, some listeners remain faithful to their radio stations. Except, of course, for the fact that many will (44) ……………..…. in to them on their computer or tablet instead of turning their radio dial.

With the (45) ……………..…. use of social media, news travels faster than ever before. Minute-by-minute coverage of the news no longer relies on TV networks. Increased internet access enables individuals to share photos, opinions and even live videos with one sharp tap on the screen.
