THE GLOBE THEATRE
Going
to the theatre has been a popular pastime for centuries. One of the most
famous theatres in history was the Globe Theatre in London, opened
during the reign of Elizabeth I.
Wealthy people sat in the
“two-penny” galleries. These were not really the best places to be

soaked was a risk you (5) ………. if you paid the cheap entrance fee. As
the actors were coming onto the stage, a trumpet sounded. A flag was

remained in position (6) ………. the performance ended. There were no

and nuts were popular. If the audience did not like the play or the
cast, they used to throw the cores and shells at the actors on the

the area beneath the stage. When needed, they used to jump out on to the

get in. They watched the (9) ………. play standing up in the yard. Often
1,000 people squeezed in to see a popular play. The high
stage was in the middle of the yard. There was no curtain, which meant
that at the end of violent plays the actors’ bodies were carried off in

III. Read the
following passage carefully and answer
the questions that follow by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or
D as the correct answers in the box below. (1pt)

A
greenhouse is a building whose sides and roof are made of glass so that
the temperature inside is magnified. And it's used to grow
plants that need high temperatures. This is to illustrate an example of
how man could be causing changes to the climate. These changes result
from increasing the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, thus
raising the surface temperature of the Earth. And this is
known as the "Greenhouse Effect."
CO₂ is a normal
component of the atmosphere and until recently has not been
considered an air pollutant. But average global CO₂
concentrations have been increasing since 1860, with particularly sharp
increase in 1958. The main reason for this continuous
increase in CO₂ build-up is the burning of fossil fuels.
During the past 100 years, the CO₂ content of the atmosphere
has already risen by about 15% - from about 290 to about 340 parts per
million. And it's still rising.
Although the CO₂
content of the atmosphere is only about 0.032%, it's a major factor in
determining average global temperature. Incoming sunlight consists of
many wavelengths including some very dangerous ones. But ozone in the
upper atmosphere and water vapor and CO₂ in the lower
atmosphere filter out or destroy most of the harmful wavelengths, so
what reaches the Earth is mostly visible light. It's absorbed by land,
sea and cloud and is reradiated in the atmosphere as longer wavelength
infrared radiation, or heat, as the Earth cools. Much of this infrared
radiation is absorbed by CO₂. The CO₂ then
radiates a portion of the absorbed heat energy back to the Earth to warm
the atmosphere. Rather like the glass in a greenhouse or a car window
on sunny day, CO₂ in the atmosphere acts as a one-way filter
that allows visible light to enter the Earth's atmosphere, but prevents
longer wavelength heat radiation from leaving. Assuming that energy is
arriving from the sun at a constant rate, then as the level of CO₂
increases, the average surface temperature of the earth should rise.

1. What is the purpose
of using a greenhouse?
A. to give an example of
atmospheric changes caused by man
B. to magnify temperature to
grow plants requiring high temperatures
C. to give an example of
buildings whose sides and roof are made of glass
D.
to indicate the rising level of CO₂ in the earth's atmosphere

2. What is mainly
discussed in paragraph 1?
A. The sides and roof of a
greenhouse are made of glass

B. Plants need high temperatures to grow
C. What
is the "Greenhouse Effect"?

D.
A greenhouse is used for growing plants
3. Why is CO₂ considered an air
pollutant?

A. CO₂ is a normal component of the atmosphere

B. Global CO₂ concentrations have been
increasing

C. CO₂ is a by-product of the burning of
fossil fuels
D. CO₂ raises the
surface temperature of the Earth
4. What is not true according to the information from
the passage?

A. The level of CO₂ has risen by as much as
15%

B. The sun emits some very dangerous wavelengths
C. A
portion of sunlight is filtered out before entering the Earth
D.
CO₂ allows sunlight to enter and leave the Earth's atmosphere
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The "Greenhouse
Effect" and how CO₂ warms the atmosphere
B.
The level of CO₂ at present compared with that in the past

C.
Ozone and water vapor with filtering out harmful wavelengths
D.
The "Greenhouse Effect" used for growing plants

You are going to read a newspaper article about an unusual woman. Five
sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A
– G the one which fits each gap (1-5). There are two extra sentences
which you do not need to use. Write your answers in the box below. There
is an example for you in the answer box (number 0). (1pt)

A GIFT OF GIVING
She is
a silver-haired washerwoman who has spent most of her unremarkable life
in poverty, in a run-down terraced house in Mississippi. (0) ……….

After
a lifetime of being very careful with money, Oseola had somehow saved
more than £100, 000, and in one humble gesture, gave it all away to a
local university.
This generous act has captured the heart of a
nation where most people think that greed is good and kindness like this
is very rare, and she has become one of the most famous figures in the
country. (1) ……….
She has also been all over the
country accepting awards and honorary degrees from universities. Despite
her new-found fame, she remains very modest. “I am surprised at being
treated like a celebrity. I gave what I had, but I don’t think there’s
any reason to be too proud,” she said. (2) ……….
If it
is astonishing how a single act of charity can repay Oseola a thousand
times, it is even more astonishing that she saved such a fortune in the
first place. She had known nothing but hard times. Her family was poor
and she was one of eight children. She had to leave school when she was
eight to work and help support them.
She still lives in the same house
her uncle left her in 1947, and since her aunt’s death 30 years ago,
she has lived there alone. She worked hard and saved whatever she could,
always putting away a few dollars a day. (3) ………. She
didn’t go out on dates, and she never married or had children.
She
had originally intended to use the money to look after her grandmother. (4)
………. She never thought of going on a cruise or buying a new car, and
eventually decided to give it away to help under-privileged children get
the education she was denied.
The act has transformed her life,
but Oseola is still the same. She only turns on the air conditioning
when visitors call. (5) ………. She doesn’t need much to
live on and seems happy with the little that she has. “I am at peace
with my life and my work,” she says. “I don’t think I have
any enemies.”

A.
“It was simply the right thing to do. What did I need all that money
for?”

B. However, when she died, and Oseola was left alone, she
carried on saving anyway.
C. The only apparent change is a
small color television in stead of the old black-and-white one.
D. “It’s not the big earners
like that who make fortunes,” she says, “It’s the people who know how to
save.”

E. She has been to the White House to meet the President,
and she has carried the Olympic Torch.
F. She never spent money
on herself, and would always walk the five miles to the nearest store.

G. She asked for nothing
in return, except that the money should be used to give poor children a
better education.
H.
But one extraordinary act of kindness a year ago turned 87 year-old
Oseola Mc Carty into a national hero.
