Lotfia Elnadi was born in Cairo in 1907 to a government-official father and a devoted
mother. Her magnificent achievements have opened doors for female pilots throughout the
entire Arab world. Not long after it opened, Lotfia Elnadi decided to join the Cairo aviation
school in order to learn to fly. Her instructor realised she had great potential and after less than
seventy days of training she earned her pilot’s licence. Consequently, from September 1933,
at the age of 26 she was officially allowed to pursue her dream of flying which, she claimed,
made her feel free. If becoming the first Arab female pilot in history was not enough, Lotfia
Elnadi made newspaper headlines again only a few months after getting her licence. She
became the second woman in the world to fly solo when she entered a race from Cairo to
Alexandria. Lotfia’s determination to achieve her dream is something many pilots admire
today. Her struggle to overcome the difficulties, such as paying for her flying lessons by
working at the airport as a receptionist, are part of a documentary about her life called Take
Off From the Sand, made in 1996. Loftia Elnadi died at the age of 95 in 2002, but her life story
will continue to inspire other Arab women to accomplish their goals.
23) 23. This text talks about ...
A. the difficulties finding pilots in Egypt.
B. the problems women have had in finding jobs.
C. the inspirational determination of one woman.
D. the documentary which is important for many women.

A. Watching the documentary will help you learn to fly.
B. Learning about Lotfia’s life will help you create your own dreams.
C. Even if you cannot fly, you can still be famous.
D. Even though this woman is no longer alive, we can still learn a lot from her.
25) 25. Lotfia Elnadi’s achievements ...
A. helped other Arab women to become pilots.
B. taught Arab women they will have problems learning to fly.

Read the following passages then choose the correct option from A, B, C or D.
Archaeologists working at the ancient site of Thonis - Heracleion have made a
remarkable new discovery. They have found baskets filled with fruit dating back to the fourth
century BCE! Before the city disappeared under the sea in the second century BCE, hundreds
of ships had been visiting ThonisHeracleion every day and it was Egypt’s largest port on the
Mediterranean. The city had been forgotten until it was explored by a French archaeologist,
Franck Goddio, in the year 2000 CE.
Although archaeologists had raised many large statues and metal objects from the sea at
Thonis-Heracleion before this, Goddio said that he thought the discovery of the basket was
incredible. This is because fruit does not usually last for very long at all. However, although
metal and stone statues are more valuable, everyday objects such as a fruit basket can often
teach archaeologists a lot more about people in history. For example, historians learned what
the Romans ate after finding bread dating back to 79 AD, when the volcano Vesuvius erupted
and covered the town of Herculaneum in rocks and ash. Similarly, archaeologists learnt what
people ate in Britain in around 2000 BCE after finding a spoon that had been buried with food
on it.
The basket at Thonis-Heracleion was filled with grape seeds and the fruit of a doum
palm tree. They probably survived because they had been kept in an underground room.
In the next ten years, a lot more of ThonisHeracleion will have been discovered. In fact, Goddio
claimed that only 3% of the site had been explored so far. Consequently, achaeologists will
probably be finding many more inspiring objects in the future.
29) What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Thonis-Heracleion was explored in the year 2000 CE.
B. An exciting discovery in Egypt.
C. Important ports on the Mediterranean.
D. 97% of the site of Thonis-Heracleion could be explored.

A. exploded B. blew C. broke down D. appeared

A. was a name of a famous archaeologist B. is a modern Egyptian city

 C. However, still some people insist on having big families.
D. In addition, it is not easy to provide jobs for the increasing numbers of graduates.
Read the following passages, then choose the correct option from A, B, C or D.
Due to the global pandemic, the Egyptian Ministry of ICT noted an almost 50%
increase in internet consumption as workers were encouraged to work from home. Many saw
this as a positive move and some companies have closed their offices as their employees
continue to work from home. However, there are also disadvantages that need to be considered.
A significant advantage for the company is increased productivity. The home office
ensures a higher level of efficiency as it is adapted perfectly to the employee. There are no
distractions by workmates or background noise and they have their favourite food too! With
less time needed to commute, they can spend more time with their families. This increases
well-being which, in turn, can increase productivity.
Despite the many advantages, there are also some disadvantages. Many who worked
from home claimed that they worked more hours than in the office. Furthermore, some
complained that although they saved money on transport they had increased costs in water and
electricity. Poor furniture or physical space is also another issue to take into account. However,
the biggest problem has been the feeling of isolation and lack of personal contact with
workmates. With 300 million workers globally suffering from mental health issues as a result
of working from home, doctors are claiming mental health problems will be the next problem
to affect the world.

How would you feel if you spent many months without seeing your friends and family?
Would you be happy to live in a very small space, with the same people for many weeks?
These are the conditions that astronauts have to face, so scientists are looking into the best
ways to help them with their mental health problems.
In 1982, a Russian astronaut called Valentin Lebedev had been travelling in space for
seven months when he started to become more and more depressed. This was the first time that
scientists realized that mental health could be a problem for astronauts, who need to carry out
important and often dangerous tasks.
Many astronauts face problems because time is so different in space. For example, on
the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts see the sun rise and set 16 times in one day.
This makes it very hard for them to sleep. Spacecrafts also use blue light, which is the same
light we use for computers and TV screens. Blue light also stops us from wanting to sleep,
which is why you should not look at screens before you go to bed!
Until scientists have done research on more astronauts, we won’t fully understand the
effects of space travel on their mental health. However, scientists claim that men tal health
problems will be more likely when astronauts start to make journeys to planets such as Mars,
which might take 18 months or more. As a result, people who want to become astronauts need
special training on how to deal with stress.
The astronauts of the future will certainly have a lot more support than they did in the
past. Already on the ISS, astronauts spend a lot of time taking exercise, relaxing, eating healthy
food and talking to their families: all good ways to stay mentally healthy!
29) The main idea in the first paragraph is ............................. .
A. different mental health problems
B. space exploration
C. the situations astronauts have to face in space

29 | P a g e
 D. the depression the Russian astronaut had
30) Due to the different time in space, ............................. .
A. many astronauts have heart diseases
B. a lot of astronauts face problems
C. all astronauts refuse to go to space
D. astronauts find it easy to sleep there
31) Those who want to work as astronauts have to ........................ .
A. accompany their families to avoid loneliness
B. make the time of the journey to planets such as Mars less
C. forget all about mental heath
D. learn how to cope with stress

Read the following passage then choose the correct option from A, B, C or D.
Ever since human beings started creating new ways of doing things, there have been
fears they would be replaced by technology. However, in the twenty-first century technology is
helping us, not taking our place.
There have been fears that Artificial Intelligence (AI) may replace teachers. However,
it appears that teaching is a job which requires a great deal of emotional intelligence and
creativity which AI has not mastered yet. Having said that, it is true that AI will become an
essential tool for teachers for many of their day-to-day tasks. Some Learning Management
Systems use AI to make online teaching easier by reducing teacher’s workload and helping them
to be more productive, and therefore improving well-being. This company offers the possibility
of adapting learning plans to individual students and creating course content based on student’s
needs. This will allow teachers and teaching organisations to offer much more effective learning
experiences
for online students of the future. In conclusion, AI will continue to offer help to teachers
but will never replace them.
23) The general idea of the text is ...
A. that technology will continue to offer solutions for teachers and students.
B. that artificial intelligence will allow teachers to have more free time.
C. that jobs in the future are in danger as a result of artificial intelligence.
D. that teachers will have more work to do in the future.
24) According to the passage, AI can ...
A. help students only.
B. help teachers and students.
C. replace teachers.
D. hinders teachers’ productivity.
25) How does the text say AI can help teachers in the future?
A. It will allow them to create tests for students more quickly.

 B. It will increase their productivity by taking on repetitive jobs.
C. It will allow teachers to enjoy new hobbies and interests.
D. It will mean they will get paid less as they will work less.
26) Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage:
A. A lot of people are afraid that technology will replace them.
B. We should not depend on technology.
C. AI can reduce teachers’ workloads.
D. Technology can help teachers to be more creative.
27) Learning Management Systems offer AI solutions which ...

28) Which expression in the text means ‘things you have to do every day’?
A. every other day B. needs C. day-to-day D. ever since

Read the following passage then choose the correct option from A, B, C or D.
When people retire, they will probably have been working for 40 years or more. But how
productive will they have been in that time? We have been studyin g productivity, and the
results are very interesting.
Working hours around the world vary, but people in Egypt work an average of 40 hours
a week and no more than 48 hours a week, which is similar to most other countries. In the
USA, however, many people working in technology and banking often work over 60 hours a
week. This could be because phones and laptops mean that people can work even when they
are not in the office.
However, a study by Professor Pencavel, from Stanford University in the USA, concluded
that these extra hours do not mean a person gets more things done. Professor Pencavel reported
that a person’s productivity declined very quickly after they had worked 50 hours a week. In
fact, a person doing 70 hours a week did the same amount of work as a person doing 55 hours.
There have been several studies into the effects of work on health. The economist, Nolan
Pope, studied how the time of day affects productivity, and he found that people are naturally
more productive at certain times of the day: in particular, before around 1pm. There have been
many other studies into workplace stress, and these indicate that long work hours are linked
to exhaustion, burnout and poor health. In conclusion, to aid our health, it is important that we
work around the hours of the day when we are most productive and this should help make us
happier.

Azza Nakhla
A I have recently graduated with a degree in English from Cairo University. My goal is
to be a full-time guide for a travel company and I would like to apply for an internship at your
company so I can learn more about the job.
I have already had some experience of being a guide. During my university holidays two
years ago, I worked part-time for a company that took school children round museums in Cairo.
There were a lot of young children in each group and they had to be watched carefully to make
sure they were safe. I would go with the group leaders to the museum, and then 1 would take

42 | P a g e
small groups of children round the highlights of the museum. The company must have been
pleased with my work, because I was asked to work there again the following year.
I have also been working as a volunteer at a local charity that helps children who are in
hospital. I visit them once a week to play games with them. The children like to be read to and
kept busy. I often read them books of myths and legends that they really enjoy.
My peers say that I am a well-rounded and generous person and I take pride in my
excellent English skills. I also have good knowledge of the landmarks, monuments and tourist
attractions that your company takes tourists to visit. I think I can make an important
contribution to your company as an intern. If you are happy with my work, I hope to be offered
full-time employment in the future.

 The secrets to my success
I'm sure, like me, you have goals you would like to reach some time in the future. In
this blog post I want to share the research I have done to find the secrets to achiev ing my goals.
First of all I identified my weaknesses by reflecting carefully
and asking friends and family. I should have done this many years
earlier as I discovered that I was disorganised, scared of failing, and
that I get distracted easily. Were there too many problems to solve at
once? Well, I started with one at a time and here's what I learnt.
I read a book about organising my room. The author, Sheila Chandra, suggested
starting, at one place in the room and when you pick things up not to put them down until you
find the perfect location for them. Then, the next time you use it, always return it to its home
so you'll know where to find it next time, just like you do with your toothbrush!
The next issue was my fear of failing. Mark H. McCormack was the author of a book
which advised me to divide my objectives into smaller steps and then set a time limit for each
of these steps. He said that if we look at the top of a huge mountain we will be put off climbing
it, but if we focus on reaching different p oints in the mountain, it is less scary. Breaking down
bigger goals into smaller objectives wit7 specific time limits helped me focus for short periods
of time with greater concentration, too.
As you can see, I started by identifying the problems and resea rching possible
solutions, then I put the ideas into practice. I hope the secrets to my success help you as much
as they have helped me.

35) The article is about ...

A. the most influential books the writer has ever read.
B. the importance of being a reflective learner.
C. how the writer progressed towards her goals.
D. how to decide on the best research methods.
36) The author says ...
A. she asked the people she knew for advice.
B. she asked the authors of the books for help.
C. she did not need to ask anyone for help.
D. she will read more self-help books.
37) The author says that ...
A. Sheila Chandra taught him about toothbrushes.
B. cleaning your room makes you feel more positive.
C. the toothbrush principle helped him become organised.
D. it is important to put your toothbrush in the same place.
38) The message in the second book was that

44 | P a g e
 A. big goals are always easy to achieve.
B. many smaller objectives are lots of fun.
C mountain climbing can be very scary.
D. you should divide bigger goals into smaller ones.
39) The message from the second book helped the author to
A. reduce the fear of failing and find a new hobby.
B. stay organised and reach their goals more quickly.
C. reduce the fear of failing and improve concentration.
D. improve the writers time management problems.
40) The process the writer uses to help him become more successful can be summarised
as:
A. Identify the problems, research the solutions and implement them.
B. Identify the problems, talk to friends and family and ask for solutions.
C. Identify the problems, go to the library and find useful books to help.
D. Identify the friends and family that can help you and ask lots of questions.

Read the following passages then choose the correct option from A, B, C or D.
A Tunis is the capital city of Tunisia and is well
worth seeing and its nearby ancient archaeological
remains are not to be missed. The well-known site of
Carthage, which is near the Tunisian coast, was added to
the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1979. Highlights
ofthe site include Roman baths, remains of Roman villas
and temples and an amphitheatre. Little can be seen of the
theatre today, which is so ruined that it does not look very
impressive. However, it must have been an amazing place
in Roman times. Around 36,000 people would visit the amphitheatre at that time to enjoy
events.
There is also a museum at the site which allows you to look back and learn about the
city's history. Carthage, which means 'new town,' is said to have been built in around 814 BCE
by the Phoenicians. It must have been a wealthy and safe port after this time, with a castle to

49 | P a g e
 guard it and the people were able to trade with countries round the Mediterranean. The city
had also become rich from nearby silver mines and the Phoenicians were famous for making
excellent beds and furniture.
However, although Carthage was rich, its people could not stop the powerful
Romans, who crushed Carthage in a war in 146 BCE. The Romans must have destroyed much
of Carthage, because most of today's monuments date from Roman times.

29) Carthage is………

A. a city in Tunisia. B. a Roman city.
C. an archaeological site. D. a picturesque port.
30) Most tourists visit Carthage to see ...
A. the capital of Tunisia. B. picturesque Phoenician buildings.
C. an important castle. D. Roman remains.
31) The amphitheatre at Carthage ...
A. is very impressive today.
B. must have been very impressive
C. is big enough for 36,000 tourists. in the past.
D. cannot be seen today.
32) The Phoenicians were ...
A. good friends with the Romans.
B. the people who first built Carthage.
C. the people who built most of the buildings you can see today.
D. people who built silver mines.
33) The Romans won a war against the Phoenicians ...
A. to get their beds and furniture.
B. because they were too powerful for them.
C. because they wanted their silver.
D. because they wanted to trade with them.
34) From the text, find a word that means 'completely defeated'.
A. crushed B. ruined C. looked back D. destroyed

B. The hidden gems of Egypt

50 | P a g e
 Egypt has a wide range of
picturesque places for tourists to visit all year
round. The most popular destinations for those
wanting to learn more about Egypt's rich
cultural heritage include Cairo and Hurghada.
Together these two locations welcome over
ten million visitors every year. Most of us
know about the Pyramids of Giza or the impressive remains in The Valley of the Kings.
However, I am a travelling reporter and I have been in search of the cultural heritage below
the surface in order to discover Egypt's hidden heritage.
In July 2021 I read a newspaper article about the discovery of hidden ruins in the
Nile and I just had to find out more. I managed to speak to Franck Goddio, the French marine
archaeologist who made the discovery, and asked him to tell me about this wonderful finding.
He said that his team had discovered the 25-metre ship thanks to the latest technology used to
scan the bottom of the Nile. He explained to me how the ship, which is over 2,200 years old,
had sunk after being hit by huge blocks from the temple of Amun. Franck told me that it had
been these blocks which had helped to protect the sunken ship from further destruction which
is why it was found in such good condition. Franck and his team also explained to me how
much they had learnt about the ancient port of Thonis-Heracleion and the trade with the Greek
world because of the discovery.
Speaking to Franck has taught me that there are so many undiscovered treasures
which can teach us lots about our cultural history. It is important to learn about our ancestors
by visiting the most celebrated tourist attractions however, we mustn't forget we can also find
out about our cultural identity in the most unexpected places.
35) The article is written by ...
A. a TV reporter.
B. a university student.
C. a magazine reporter.
D. an archaeologist.
36) The main idea of the text is that ...
A. the Nile is very important for Egypt's cultural heritage.
B. some of Egypt's cultural heritage is under water.
C. We can learn about our history in surprising places.
D. Egypt and Greece used to have very strong connections.
37) Which of the following isn't correct according to the passage?
A. Most people know about the Pyramids of Giza or the impressive remains in The
Valley of the Kings.

51 | P a g e
 B. Egypt has a lot of picturesque places for tourists to enjoy visiting, including Cairo
and Hurghada.
C. A French geologist explained how the 2,200-year ship had sunk after being hit by
huge blocks.
D. There are still so many undiscovered treasures in Egypt
38) Franck Goddio discovered ...
A. an important pyramid in The Valley of the Kings.
B. a port which hadn't been used for many years.
C. the Temple of Amun.
D. big ship under the water.
39) The remains were found in good condition because...
A. it was very long.
B. of the use of the latest technology.
C. some blocks saved it from destruction.
D. the Nile delta is not very deep.
40) The finding has helped us learn about ...
A. how ships used to be made.
B. the old port and the connections with Greece.
C. how people would travel on the Nile.
D. how important technology is.

 Read the following passages, then choose the correct option from A, B, C or D.
What skills do you need to have a successful career? In the past, it was common for
people to enter a profession at a low level, where they could first learn about the job. Then,
over time, as the person got more experience, they could be promoted until, eventually, they
had an important position. However, this is not always the case. Many people have started in
one career and changed direction completely to be successful in a very different profession.
One example is Vera Wang. She was a successful skater, and nearly joined the USAs
Olympic skating team, before becoming an editor of a magazine. She is now one of the world's
most famous clothes' designers for women.
When Taikichiro Mori died in1993, he was one of the richest people in the world
because of his very successful building company. However, he had spent most of his career
working for technical schools and universities in Japan, where he was a professor. He only
started his building company when he was in his 50s.
Other examples include the businessman Richard Branson, whose first job was to sell
pet birds, and Jeff Bezos, who started a school summer camp long before he started Amazon.
These examples show that it is never too late to change careers or to learn new skills.
In fact, today, many companies prefer a job candidate to demonstrate competencies rather than
experience in a particular job. Competencies can be defined as the knowledge, sk ills and
abilities of a person to do something well, and in today's flexible workplaces, people will be
expected to show competencies in a range of fields, not just in one job.
These people have demonstrated that they could be successful in many different
fields. In a world where life-long learning has become increasingly important, it seems that the
ability to gain experience in many different fields can be a good thing to put on your CV

24) The main idea of the text is that ...

A. you must have many years of experience in one job to become successful.
B. it is important to update your CV.
C. we should continue to study after we leave school.
D. working in lots of different jobs gives you different experiences which can help you
become more successful.
25) The writer suggests that ….
A. it is unusual to change your career.
B. having different experiences develops different skills.
C. you shouldn't change career.
D. being successful makes you calm and happy.
26) The writer suggests that Vera Wang's early career ...
A. is very similar to what she does now.

57 | P a g e
 B. made her a good editor.
C. is very different to what she does now.
D. didn't make her a good editor.
27) Taikichiro Mori ...
A. started his business selling pets.
B. was a professor before he started a business.
C. met Jeff Bezos in 1993.
D. was a professor before he started selling pets.
28) From the text, what does life-long learning' mean?

Read the following passages, then choose the correct option from A, B, C or D.

Are you prepared for the 21st Century?

We have heard of a water-proof
jacket which protects us from the rain but what
about protecting ourselves against the future?
Developing the skills now that will be
necessary in the future is known as 'future-
proofing'.
Even before 2020, when the World
Economic Forum produced a report which detailed the skills the workers of the future would
need, many Education Ministries, including Egypt's, had already started to teach these skills
as they knew they were the ones that would ensure students would become the best
candidates for jobs that do not exist yet.
It is very likely that you already have many of the required skills but just do not
know that you have them. The first key skill that will be important in the future job market is
having a working knowledge of the wider world and the ability to actively take part in the
global community. Greater access to the internet can help with this as well as the second key
skill, digital knowledge. Digital knowledge, including programming, will be something

58 | P a g e
required in most future jobs. Technology will be used on a large scale, and this is the reason
robotics is a popular subject in many schools nowadays.
However, these future skills are not all about learning external knowledge only.
The development of more personal abilities will be crucial in the future and many companies
are already looking for these in candidates now. They include things like creativity, problem-
solving and analytical thinking as well as the ability to cooperate well with others, show
kindness and understanding, the ability to lead others and to be able to negotiate with others
to find an ideal solution to unexpected problems. Many large tech companies already need
teams of workers to work in partnership on projects.
Developing these skills will ensure you will have all the necessary tools to deal
with any changes. So, are you future-proof?

30) The article is about

A. the different jobs that will be available in the future.
B the importance of technology in the future.

Youth Journalism International is a non-profit organization which offers free training to

also proves extremely useful to them. By giving young people all over the world the chance
to tell their stories, Youth Journalism International builds bridges between different
communities and cultures. Anyone aged between twelve and twenty-four can join Youth
Journalism International. When they began their work in 1994, the focus was on writing and
printing a local newspaper in a small town in Connecticut in the USA. Of course, a lot has
changed in the world of journalism since then and when today’s young journalists write
stories, take photographs and make videos, they publish these online. At every step, the young
journalists receive help and advice from professional editors and teachers. This training and
support might be provided face-to-face in either a group or a one-to-one session, or it might
be done online, the second option making it possible for young people in any part of the world
to benefit from it. Young journalists working with Youth Journalism International write about
both serious topics such as violence in school and topics you would expect young people to
be interested in such as music and films. The organisation, therefore, also gives people round
the world, regardless of their age, the chance to read and watch a wide range of stories which
they may not have been aware of otherwise. As Youth Journalism International is a non -
profit, its work is only possible because of the money that’s donated to them. The
organization tries to keep the costs of its operations as low as possible and the professional
editors and teachers they work with are all volunteers.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:

In most countries, there are significantly fewer women than men working in jobs that
are connected to technology. In the USA for example, only twenty percent of tech workers
are females, even though they make up 50 percent of the total number of people in work.
How can we explain this lack of representation of women in technology and what can be
done about it? Many research studies in this area suggest that girls often show an interest in
science and technology subjects at a young age, for example around eleven years old.
However, that number tends to fall significantly by the time the girls reach the age of
fifteen. This seems to be due to a lack of female role models and some parents’ and
teachers’ belief that technology isn’t something that girls do. If more women were working
in technology though, there would be more role models to inspire young women and this
would, in turn, lead to more women working in technology. Unfortunately, the women who
do gain employment in the tech industry often face challenges, such as the difference
between the salaries of men and women working at the same company and in the same
place. Of course, many factors are responsible for this situation, such as the fact that
women often take on part- time work after having children and they then receive less
money than their colleagues who work full-time. However, more and more companies are
now taking the step of reviewing exactly how much each employee receives and investing
money to make sure that there’s fairness and equality. The results of actions such as these
are to make the company more attractive to potential female employees and, therefore,
contribute to an increase in the number of women working in technology.
35) What is the main idea of the passage?
a. Why more men work in tech industry and how we can get fewer men into this field.
b. The reason why women sometimes get lower salaries than men.
c. Why fewer women work in tech industry and how we can get more women into this
field.
d. Why women don’t prefer working in the tech industry.
36) In the USA, .......... percent of male workers make up the total number of people in
work.
a. twenty b. eighty c. fifty d. less than eighty
37) Which of the following isn’t one of the reasons why the representation of women in
technology is low?
a. The number of girls who like technology tends to fall significantly by the time they
reach the age of fifteen.
b. The challenges the women working in the field of technology face.
c. The number of boys is much higher than the number of girls in society.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:

‘Hybrid work’ is a term that people are using more and more often today to talk about
new ways of working. The word ‘hybrid’ means a combination of two or more different things,
so ‘hybrid work’ means working in several different ways and, more specifically, working
from and working in an office, with other people. This way of working usually provides a lot
of flexibility for employees because most of the time they can decide for themselves when
they want to work at home. They may only have to come into the office once or twice a week
to attend a face-to-face meeting. The data from research carried out with employees who work
in this hybrid way tells us that they tend to be happier and more motivated than other
employees. This seems to be because they have more control over their schedule and they can
avoid the unpleasant aspects of office work, such as travelling into a city in a crowded train or
bus, for some of the working week. They can go to the gym at lunchtime or work from home
when a sick child needs to be taken care of, for instance. Motivated employees are usually
more productive while they’re at work, meaning that their company can make better progress.
They also enhance a company’s brand and, therefore, make it more attractive to people who
are applying for job. A final important advantage of ‘hybrid work’ is the fact that it’s also
cheaper than full-time work in the office because electricity and other bills are lower if you’re
only using half the capacity of your office. From the point of view of the workers, the only
disadvantage is that ‘hybrid work’ is only available to people who do office jobs, so its benefits
can’t be enjoyed by everyone.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:

How many of the profiles you see on social media are real and how many are fake?
Probably more than you might think. The number of fake accounts is estimated to be between
five and ten percent of all social media accounts. A fake social media profile is defined as an
account which contains details which have been invented by the user or which appear to have
been created by one particular user but have actually been created by someone else. In some
cases, the posts have been put together by a bot, rather a human being. A bot is a computer
programme which completes basic tasks for the human being which has programmed it. In this
case, the bots have been programmed to post things on social media. Identifying fake social
media posts isn’t as easy as you might think because many of them are very convincing.
However, you can start by searching for the name of the person from the profile online to see
if you can find the same name with the same photos on other social media sites or other
websites. Then you can look more closely at the detailed information about the person in these
other places online and check this for similarities with the account that you think might be
fake. You can also look at which other people and how many other people follow an account.
This is particularly relevant in the case of profiles of famous people or people in the public
eye because you would expect the real account of this type of person to have thousands, or
even millions, of followers and for some of these followers to be people who are active in the
same area, such as politics or rock music.
35) According to the passage, true accounts .........
a. are not estimated.
b. constitute 5 to 10 percent of all social media accounts.
c. constitute 90 to 95 percent of all social media accounts.
d. are really limited.
36) Identifying fake social media posts is..........
a. as easy as you think.
b. as difficult as you might expect.
c. an easy task to do.
d. more difficult than you might think.
37) Many of the posts are very convincing. “A convincing thing” is something you
......”.
a. believe b. don’t believe c. suspect d. don’t know
38) You can start by searching for the name of the person from the profile online.
Who is the person referred to here?
a. The person who has a truly real account.
b. The famous person you are following his/her news.

73 | P a g e
 c. The person who you are suspicious of his/her account.
d. The person who is suspicious of your account.
39) This is particularly relevant in the case of profiles of famous people or people in

a. who are in a position that receives very little public notice or attention
b. we know who they are because they are famous, like movie stars and famous
athletes.
c. who are under the eye of the police because they are evil and expected to commit
crimes.
d. with fake profiles on social media.

a. Convenient b. Proper c. Expected d. Unsuitable

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:

Brainstorming is an activity that most of us think that we’re very familiar with and
know how to do. Perhaps we don’t give very much thought to how or why we do it, but we
definitely should. At its best, brainstorming can help us to generate innovative ideas at school
and at work, but at its worst, it can be a waste of time. If you want the time you spend
brainstorming to be productive, you need to brainstorm effectively.
You may not be aware of the fact that brainstorming as we know it today didn’t
come into existence until 1948. It was based around a military analogy with the idea being
that the participants in the brainstorming sessions were storming, or attacking, a problem in
order to solve it. At that time, the rules of brainstorming were that you didn’t give other
participants any negative feedback on their ideas, instead you tried to build on other people’s
ideas with your own thoughts. The aim was to generate as many ideas as possible and to think
big.
When we investigate what makes brainstorming sessions effective, we see that it’s
helpful for individual participants to think of ideas on their own first. This could be done by
giving each person some p rompts to help them come up with ideas that they then write down.
You could also ask participants to do some word association by giving them a word and
asking them to write other words that come to mind when they think of that word, and then
other words connected to those words, and so on. If the participants have already focused on
the topic and come up with ideas beforehand, these ideas should be more fully formed and
useful and less time will be wasted on this initial stage during the group discussion.
22) According to the passage, brainstorming can be a waste of time ..........
a. when you ignore its value, although you are quite sure it could benefit you.
b. if you give it a lot of thought.
c. if you don’t like creation.
d. if you need the time you spend on brainstorming to do a more important task.
23) What is the main idea of the passage?
a. Brainstorming didn’t come into existence until 1948.
b. The value of brainstorming and how to benefit from it.
c. Brainstorming was first used in the military field.
d. Brainstorming is useful for students in all cases.
24) According to the passage, we can give each person some prompts to ......
a. know what is meant by "brainstorming".

78 | P a g e
 b. enable them to reach a solution on their own..
c. help them create new ideas.
d. be able to criticise other participants.
25) Initially, the participants in the brainstorming sessions ...............
a. were attacking each other, giving opposite opinions.
b. were storming, or attacking, a problem in order to reach a solution.
c. insisted on spreading the concept of brainstorming.
d. ignored the rules of participation.
26) At first, the rules of brainstorming were that you........
a. didn’t give other participants any destructive feedback on their ideas.
b. were free to express your opinion frankly.
c. could give other participants any negative feedback on their ideas.
d. could criticise other participants bitterly.
27) Brainstorming can help us generate innovative ideas at school and at work.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:

When we look to the future and consider technology and its effects on education and
employment round the world, there are definitely reasons for optimism. It may be easiest to
see some of these in parts of the world such as the Middle East, Asia and Africa where the
creation of global markets for services, such as IT, which previously didn’t exist is allowing
talented individuals to have successful careers. We see people in these regions who may not
have had access to traditional forms of face-to-face education, such as university studies,
taking advantage of online courses to learn computer science. They can then go on to develop
codes and create and sell applications, none of which would have been possible without the
internet and the associated technology that goes along with it.
This phenomenon, however, isn’t only happening in the Middle East, Asia and
Africa. We’re also seeing new possibilities for employment opening up in other parts of the
world where a larger proportion of the population can access conventional university
education. We see companies which allow people to make crafts at home, such as handmade

79 | P a g e
 jewellery, and sell those items to people all over the world online. These people can become
entrepreneurs and they’re opening up markets that wouldn’t have existed forty years ago.
All of this suggests that young people today need to develop different types of skills
than those who came before them. They need to be able to work independently and manage
their time effectively so they can potentially do things like developing a new skill online on
their own. They also need to learn how to present and market their work online as well as
other skills that we associate with entrepreneurship, like how to keep financial records for
your business.
29) Students are taking advantage of online courses to learn computer science .......
a. thanks to technology.
b. despite having no access to the internet.
c. although they have access to traditional forms of face-to-face education.

a. we have education and employment round the world.
b. of the impacts of technology on education and employment round the world.
c. the creation of global markets for services didn’t exist.
d. we have access to traditional forms of face-to-face education.
31) According to the passage, creating and selling an app requires......
a. only the internet.
b. having a lot of money.
c. the integration of different types of technology.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
It’s amazing and difficult to believe, but we’re actually less familiar with the depths
of the oceans on our own planet than we are with the surface of Mars. Robots are now being
used increasingly to carry out the task of gathering data about the world below the waves.
These specially designed robots are able to obtain data more quickly and efficiently than
human beings. However, many of the robots currently being used for this purpose require
batteries which run out after a certain amount of time underwater and, therefore, they need
to return to be recharged regularly. As a result, they cannot stay underwater long enough to
reach the deepest points of the ocean, yet these tend to be the areas that scientists are most
keen to learn more about.
Consequently, a lot of excitement has been produced by a technological innovation
which involves using the energy generated by the robot’s movement from warmer to colder
waters and the other way round. All the robot has to do is move through the sea and enough
energy is generated to charge its battery at no cost whatsoever, and the result is that data can
be collected for significantly longer periods of time.
It looks as though this kind of technology will increase the amount of the ocean
that underwater expeditions can investigate by allowing them to do this for much longer
periods of time. Nevertheless, scientists who like to create a map of the whole ocean still face
massive challenges when it comes to the logistics and finances that are necessary for the
completion of this task. Some estimates have suggested that even with innovations such as
the one described I this text, at least 3,000 robots would have to be in operation for a period
of ten years in order to map the whole ocean.
24) What is the disadvantage the robots mentioned in the first paragraph?
a. They are too expensive.
b. They can work for a limited time before they are recharged.
c. They can’t work underwater to gather data about the world below the waves.
d. They cause a lot of noise.
25) The energy generated by the robot’s movement from warmer to colder waters and
the other way round ..........
a. causes a lot of pollution.
b. is bad for underwater creatures.
c. charges its battery.
d. collects data about the depth of oceans
26) According to the passage, which of the following gives the meaning of
“accordingly”?
a. increasingly.
b. consequently.

85 | P a g e
 c. Regularly.
d. significantly.
27) According to the passage, creating a map of the whole ocean is a big challenge
because..........
a. scientists can’t protect themselves from dangerous oceans creatures.
b. the borders of oceans are unknown.
c. batteries of robots can’t be recharged.
d. of the required practical arrangements and finances.
28) According to the passage, which of the following isn’t correct?
a. Some robots cannot stay underwater long enough without being recharged.
b. Mapping the whole ocean requires at least 3,000 robots in operation for a period of
ten years.
c. Man can obtain data about the world below the waves more quickly and efficiently
than specially designed robots.
d. Robots are being used to carry out the task of gathering data about the world below
the waves.
29) What is the main idea of the passage?
a. The depth of oceans
b. The use of robots to gather data about the world below the waves
c. The demerits of robots that need to be recharged
d. The challenges scientists face to create a map for every ocean
30) The underlined word "they" refers to .......... .
a. robots
b. scientists
c. ocean
d. batteries

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:

When we talk about ‘lifelong learning’ we’re usually referring to studies that
people undertake or courses that they choose to participate in when they’re no longer at the
age when you would expect them to be at school or university. The idea behind ‘lifelong
learning’ is that gaining new knowledge and developing new skills is an ongoing journey and
not just something that we do while we’re at school to gain specific academic qualifications.
For this reason, a lot of lifelong learning is a matter of learning something for pleasure or
enjoyment. People who like visiting a particular country on vacation might choose to learn
the language of that country, so they can communicate with the locals better on their next
trip.

86 | P a g e
 Often lifelong learning has a more practical purpose for the people who
participate in it, however, as it can definitely help improve your career prospects and usually
also increase your income. At the same, the social and emotional advantages of lifelong
learning shouldn’t be overlooked. If you’re feeling lonely or isolated, for example, learning
something together in a group, whether it’s on or offline, can help reduce those feelings.
Another advantage of lifelong learning though is that you can often do it whenever and
wherever you are as you can learn from books you can borrow from the library or just have
a go at painting a picture and then think of what you could improve to do it a little better the
next time.
However, people are able to learn, a great sense of achievement can be gained
from setting goals, such as being able to speak a foreign language, and then being able to
achieve that goal. The effect of achieving goals like these is to help us to feel more content.
Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
31) "Lifelong learning" is ..........
a. a type of regular academic learning.
b. for people who are no longer at the age of normal school learning.

32) ‘Lifelong learning’ could be .......... .
a. for pleasure

d. both a and c
33) The social and emotional advantages of lifelong learning shouldn’t be overlooked.
“emotional” is an antonym for “.......”.
a. terrific
b. social
c. thoughtful
d. dispassionate
34) According to the passage, which of the following doesn’t belong to “lifelong
learning”?
a. It helps improve your career prospects and increase your income.
b. It helps you to get more knowledge and develop new skills.
c. It is the same as academic learning in all aspects.
d. It could reduce the feeling of loneliness or isolation.
35) What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
a. Lifelong learning is a process of acquiring new knowledge and developing new
skills outside school with no academic qualifications.

87 | P a g e
 b. Lifelong learning is a process of acquiring new knowledge and developing new
skills inside school with academic qualifications.
c. Lifelong learning is not available for all people of different ages.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:

People like to make predictions, and what life will be like in the future is one area
that a particularly large number of people make predictions about. As we make predictions
about the future from our point of view today, it can be interesting to look back at wh at people
in the past predicted and notice which predictions were accurate and which were not and the
reasons why this is.
Fifty years ago, there was a sense that people in the future would become more
concerned about protecting the environment than they were at the time. However, all those
years ago, when people thought of protecting the environment, they tended to see this in terms
of picking up litter and recycling plastic bottles. This contrasts with attitudes to environmental
protection today which focus on not traveling at all or as far by aeroplane or petrol-fuelled
cars and trying to reduce the amount of clothes or plastic packaging you consume.
On the subject of transport, some people living fifty years ago expected that we
would be driving in the air instead of the roads now. There were indeed plans to create a flying
car back then, but the idea never really took off and seemed impractical. The idea that flying
cars would spell an end to traffic jams also seems somewhat unrealistic today.
There were predictions that technology in general would become a more important
part of our everyday lives, and these have proven to be correct People living fifty years ago
expected that items such as computers would become lighter and more compact in the future,
for example, and this has happened. On the other hand, there was a belief that everyone would
have a robot to do all of their housework in their home and this has proven to be incorrect.
70) According to the passage, a particularly large number of people like to make
predictions about ...........
a. the future aspects of life.
b. the difference between life now and in the future.
c. the same issues people predicted in the past.
d. what we won’t be able to do in the future.
71) According to the passage, in today’s attitudes, which aim at protecting the
environment, focus on ............
a. using ships instead of planes.
b. preventing the production of new cars.
