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 from 31 to 35.
The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time. During the Middle
Ages, traffic-free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to
shop in comfort and, more importantly, safety. As far back as 2000 years ago, road traffic was
banned from central Rome during the day to allow for the free movement of pedestrians.
The modern, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both
city populations and car ownership increased rapidly. Dirty exhaust from cars and the risks
involved in crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous
experience. Many believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and
shopping areas seemed the best place to start.
At first, there was resistance from shopkeepers. They argued that people would avoid
streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars. When the first streets in Europe were
closed to traffic, there were even noisy demonstrations, as many shopkeepers predicted they
would lose customers.
With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street, many shops, especially those selling
things like clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, shops
selling furniture and
larger electrical appliances actually saw their sales drop. Many of these were forced to
move elsewhere, away from the city centre.

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 from 36 to 42.
Machines already perform a lot of tasks that were usually done by humans, such as
building cars, doing complex calculations, and even marking exam papers. But now it seems
that ever more intelligent machines are straying into areas where we never envisaged they
would go. We have always taken pride in having a unique kind of intelligence that machines
could never match, one which allows us to think of new ideas and produce creative and
artistic works. But it seems that even here, computers are lining up to compete with us.
Machines can easily be trained to do the physical work of producing art. About ten
years ago, a painting robot known as e-David was created at a university in Germany. And
recently in New York, the painting 'Portrait of Edmond de Belamy' has been auctioned for
nearly half a million dollars. What made it a bit unusual was that the idea, and the image
itself, was produced entirely by a computer. A group of young French artists gave instructions
to the computer, aiming simply to show that computers can be creative.
Some artists are now working with computers to produce a new kind of art. Computergenerated works of art are certainly interesting, and make us think about the limits of what
machines can and cannot do. But not everyone would accept that they qualify as art. Some
enthusiasts would argue they do, and the collectors willing to pay high prices for these works
would suggest there is definitely a market for computer art. Others, however, would disagree.
Many 'real' artists would claim that art is an expression of human intelligence and
human emotions. More importantly, it is about a desire to communicate with other people.
These things, they argue, are part of being human and can never be produced by a machine.
(Adapted from Formula - Exam Trainer)
Question 36: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Can Computers Become Artists?

B. World Famous Computer Artists

C. Artworks by Prominent Artists

D. Can Human Brains Work like Machines?

C. encouraged

.

D. imagined

When I saw her name on the screen, it took me right back to the moment she had moved
away with her family ten years before. We had been such close friends at primary school. To begin
with, she and I had not hit it off, perhaps because we were both timid. We had quickly got over
that, though, and as time went on, we had become really good friends, until you almost never saw
one of us without the other.
And now after so much time apart, there was her name. She had sent me a friend request. I
knew she had been living abroad, and her profile picture showed her on the beach. I had been
expecting. her to look different after ten years. The girl in the photo was the same old Lauren, though.
Nowadays, it is easy to find old friends thanks to social networking sites. There are lots of
stories about long lost friends getting back in touch after years apart. It was odd because I had been
thinking about our friendship too and now here she was!
She told me about the place where she had been living for the past ten years, and I told her
about things that had happened to me. Before long, the years melted away and we were the same
two girls who had spent so much time together. Of course, true friends are loyal and listen to you
when you are down. And they are the people you have fun with. But deep down, I realised that
the truest friends are those you are most yourself with. And that is something that never changes.
That is what Lauren and I learned that day, the day we realised our friendship was so precious and
had never really ended in the first place.
