The question of whether we are alone in the Universe has (0) ......... humanity for centuries, but we may now
stand poised on the brink of the answer to that question, as we search for radio signals from other intelligent
(11)……….. This search, often known by the acronym SETI (search for extra-terrestrial intelligence), is a
difficult one. Although groups around the world have been searching (12) for three decades, it is only
now that we have reached the level of technology where we can make a determined attempt to search all
nearby stars for any sign of life.
The primary reason for the search is basis curiosity- the same curiosity about the natural world that drives
all pure science. We want to know whether we are alone in the Universe. We want to know whether life
evolves naturally if given the right (13) , or whether there is something very special about the Earth to
have fostered the variety of life (14)………. that we see around us on the planet. The simple (15) of a
radio signal will be sufficient to answer this most basic of all questions. In this sense, SETI is another cog in
the machinery of pure science which is continually pushing out the horizon of our (16) However, there
are other reasons for being interested in whether life exists elsewhere. For example, we have had civilisation
on Earth for perhaps only a few thousand years, and the threats of nuclear war and pollution over the last
few decades have told us that our survival may be (17) will we last another two thousand years or will
we will wipe ourselves out? Since the lifetime of a planet like ours is several billion years, we can expect that,
if other civilisations do survive in our (18) , their ages will range from zero to several billion years. Thus
any other civilisation that we hear from is likely to be far older, on average, than ourselves. The mere
existence of such a civilisation will tell us that long-term survival is possible, and gives us some cause for
(19) it is even possible that the older civilisation may pass on the benefits of their experience in dealing
with (20) to survival such as nuclear war and global pollution, and other threats that we haven’t yet
discovered.

READING COMPREHENSION - Questions 21-30 (20 points)

PASSAGE 1: Questions 21-25 (10 points)

Read this article. Choose the best answer A, B, C or D for each question from 21 to 25.
We love mobile phones so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasingly concerned
that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey our most ultimate secrets, yet we worry that
they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them more than the internet to cope with modern life, yet many of us
don’t believe advertisements saying we need more advanced services.
Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generation phones and fears over
the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will
be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones
reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being mere practical communications tool to become the backbone
of modern life, from love affairs to friendship to work. One female teacher, 32, told the researchers: “I love my phone.
It’s my friend.’
The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report says, who regard
their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of
parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text, messaging, was seen as
a way of overcoming shyness. ‘Texting is often used for apologies, to excuse lateness or to communicate other things
that make us uncomfortable,’ the report says. The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than global,
supporting existing friendships and networks, rather than opening users to a new broader community. Even the
language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.
Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones, the report claims, will be a vastly improved mobile
infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a more sophisticated location-based
services for users. The report calls on government to put more effort into the delivery of service by mobile phone, with
suggestions including public transport and traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind patients of
appointments. ‘I love that idea,’ one user said in an interview. ‘It would mean we wouldn’t have to write a hundreds
messages to myself.’
There are many other possibilities. At recent fair trade in Sweden, a mobile navigation product was launched. When
the user enters a destination, a rout is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voice, pictures and
maps as they drive. In future, these devices will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors. In Britain
scientist are developing an asthma management solution, using mobiles to detect any signs of an attack.
Mobile phones be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third generation phones to provide fast internet
service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband services and can have no access to online
information. ‘As the new generation of mobile technologies takes off, the social potential of the mobile will vastly
increase,’ the report argues.

PASSAGE 2: Questions 26-30 (10 points)

You read the article and mark sentences 26-30 TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN
The pilots of the KLM UK Fokker 50, which was carrying 37 passengers, sent it into a dive and then into a climb to avoid
the US Air Force F15E Eagle from RAF Lakenheath. The incident happened as the aircraft, from Amsterdam's Schiphol
Airport, was coming in to land at Teesside Airport on August 13, 2001.
The two US crewmen on the F15 had been on a training exercise and were heading south to return to Lakenheath.
An Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) report said an air traffic controller warned the Fokker when it was
approaching Teesside that a fast-moving aircraft was five miles away and closing. The turboprop plane's collision
warning system sounded, prompting the 35-year-old captain to scan the horizon, where he spotted the oncoming jet.
An alert saying "Descend, descend, descend" then sounded, and the co-pilot sent it into a dive – but seconds later, the
warning system sounded again, telling the crew to climb immediately. As the F15 passed below, the captain's radar
display showed it as being just 300ft below the Fokker. The captain then saw the plane moving away to his left.
After the incident, which happened 35 nautical miles from Teesside, the captain asked a cabin attendant to check that
no one had been injured. The report said passengers had been subjected to a force of 2G by the avoiding maneuver,
but fortunately the 'Fasten seat belts' sign had been on at the time.
The rear seat crewman of the F15, which recorded the incident with an on-board video camera, said he had seen the
Fokker and estimated it was about 400ft above and would pass behind their aircraft. A report by the safety and quality
section of the Manchester Air Traffic Control and Airport found that the controller managing the situation had acted
correctly by not giving the Fokker any instructions, as they might have aggravated the situation.
The AAIB report found that at their closest point, the two aircraft were 800m apart horizontally and 1500ft apart
vertically. Had evasive action not been taken, it is believed the vertical separation of the two aircraft tracks would have
been less than 100ft and the lateral separation less than 500m.
There had been a previous near-miss in the same area involving a RAF Tornado and a Shorts SD-360 passenger plane
in March 2000, the report added. As a result, a number of recommendations were put into force by the Civil Aviation
Authority.
26 The passenger plane’s pilots saw the plane before the plane’s systems sounded a warning.
A TRUE B FALSE C NOT GIVEN
27 The passenger plane’s pilots took evasive action to try and avoid a collision
A TRUE B FALSE C NOT GIVEN
28The passengers were aware of something happening.
A TRUE B FALSE C NOT GIVEN
29 This area has seen other similar incidents in the past.
A TRUE B FALSE C NOT GIVEN
30. The AAIB report found that at their closest point
A TRUE B FALSE C NOT GIVEN
