5、The new health and safety regulations state that helmets should be worn and
fastened and the head torch operating at all times whilst working within the
mine. The use of other safety devices would be prioritised according to the
previous depth regulations and in accordance to the mine's security engineer
daily instructions. On dates of detonations maximal safety wear should be
implemented inside as well as within a 500 meters external diameter outside
the mine with no exception.
答案：C
The passage doesn’t provide us with any information about the previous health and
safety regulations.
The answer is Cannot Say.

答案：A
According to the text, "On dates of detonations maximal safety
wear should be implemented inside as well as within a 500 meters
external diameter outside the mine with no exception”. It follows
that maximal safety wear must be always implemented inside the
mine in the event of planned explosions, regardless of the distance
from the explosion.
The answer is True

答案：B
The text states that, “The use of other safety devices are prioritised
according to previous depth regulations and in accordance with the
daily instructions provided by the mine's security engineer”. So theuse of safety devices is determined both by past regulations and by
the engineer”.
The answer is False

The merger between the Australian owned BHT and British owned Billis has
formed a world class leader in the natural resources sector. Financially weaker
Billis has brought to the merger its diversified business portfolio and high
profitability whilst BHT brought substantial capital and a strong governmental
lobby as a leading Australian organisation. Whilst oil, copper, coal and uranium
will remain the main products of the newly merged company BHT Billis is looking
to penetrate other markets such as additional oils, gases, silver, titanium,
other minerals and diamonds.
答案：B
According to the passage, Billis is financially weaker than BHT, and in fact BHT
provided the financial capital for the merger.
The answer is False

答案：B
According to the text, “Oil, copper, coal and uranium will remain the
main products of the newly merged company. Nevertheless, BHTBillis is looking to penetrate other markets such as gas, silver
titanium, minerals and diamonds”. BHT Billis is therefore seeking to
expand, rather than shift, their business focus. Focus will remain on
oil, copper, coal and uranium.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an illness characterised by prolonged,
debilitating fatigue and several other symptoms including substantial
impairment in short term memory or concentration, tender lymph nodes, muscle
pain, multi joint pain without swelling or redness, headaches of a new type,
pattern or severity, and unrefreshing sleep. A university study indicates that
employees who work in office administration are two times as likely to suffer
from CFS in comparison to employees in the manufacturing industries.
Treatment programs are directed at relief of symptoms, with the goal of the
patient regaining some level of pre-existing function and well-being. The
reasons behind CFS onset, despite two decades of research, remain unknown
and patients are often misdiagnosed as depressed or just plain lazy. CFS
patients have a long and enduring battle ahead of them as symptoms usually
last a minimum of two years.

答案：A
The passage stipulates that "Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an
illness characterised by prolonged, debilitating fatigue". "Prolonged"
is synonymous with "extended".
Note that although the text mentions there are "several other
symptoms" we can gather from the syndrome's name (fatigue), its
main description (prolonged, debilitating fatigue) and the fact that
patients are diagnosed as being lazy, that CFS can indeed
be broadly described as an extended sense of tiredness.
The answer is True

The US and India have reached an agreement that takes into account India’s domestic
concerns about food security. The resulting “Bali package”, which addresses trade
facilitation, agriculture and the issues of least developed countries (LDCs), has restored
some degree of faith in the World Trade Organisation (WTO). However, there remains awide gap between WTO rules and business realities on-the-ground. It is these new 21st
century realities such as technology, environment, intellectual property (IP) and finance
that are at the core of two ambitious “mega-regional” trade deals - the Transpacific
Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The
TPP, with 12 member countries, is estimated to account for over one-quarter of world trade.
The TTIP, with 28 countries, makes up almost a third.
答案：C
Although the text does indicate that the agreement has restored a degree of faith in the WTO, it does not state
directly that the agreement was in fact signed in Bali.
Therefore, the correct answer is CANNOT SAY.
While we might think the second part of the statement as being more important, it is crucial to remember that we
must consider the entire statement as open to doubt.

答案：C
According to the text, the TPP includes 12 member countries and accounts for over
25% of world trade, and the TTIP includes 28 member countries and accounts for
almost 33%. However, it is possible that the same countries are members of both
partnerships, in which case the total number of countries would be less than 40.
Thus, the answer is CANNOT SAY.

答案：C
According to the text, the agreement addresses these issues, but this does not
necessarily mean that the issues have been resolved.
While we might be inclined to think that the "wide gap" between WTO rules and
business realities, described in the text, implies that these issues were not
resolved - we cannot say whether the issues of the less developed countries
are related to the business realities on-the-ground. If we go back to the quote
"The resulting “Bali package”, which addresses trade facilitation, agriculture
and the issues of least developed countries" - meaning, the 'Bali package'
addresses three different subjects (trade, agriculture, and issues). Later, the
text states that "there remains a wide gap between WTO rules and business
realities on-the-ground" but note that the text does not specify if that wide gap
affects all three issues and to what extent.
Therefore, the answer is CANNOT SAY.

答案：C
The passage provides the following criticism: "there remains a wide gap between
WTO rules and business realities on-the-ground".
However, we do not know whether it is the case that the WTO completely
ignored the new realities in its rules or whether it has addressed them in an
insufficient manner.
In addition, the passage does not say whether the TPP and TTIP trade deals
that are meant to address these issues are organized by the WTO, so we cannot
say for certain that the WTO does or does not ignore these issues.
The correct answer is Cannot say.

Many businesses have clients, suppliers and employees all over the world. Keeping up
with the demands of an international corporation would be impossible, or at least incredibly
difficult, without a modern communications infrastructure. Today, with e-mail, cell phones,
teleconferencing and video chats, it is possible to have a company meeting with clients
and employees around the globe, as if they were all sitting in the same conference room.
For the travelling businessperson, smartphones and laptops allow them to keep up with
their work from wherever they are and always be available to their clients. E-mail in
particular has made communication more efficient as the parties do not have to have a
conversation simultaneously, and logistics can be taken care of rapidly without getting side-
tracked by conversational pleasantries.答案：C
Phone conversations and talking face-to-face are used as examples of cases in
which both parties have a conversation at the same time. While we are told
that e-mail has made logistics more efficient than a conversation between two
present parties, we cannot determine from the text whether it is "half as
efficient" as an e-mail.
Thus, the answer is CANNOT SAY.

If the parties do not get side-tracked by pleasantries and handle the logistics
rapidly, it means they remain focused on the tasks.
The correct answer is True.

Approximately 3 percent of the population say they have had a near-death
experience—a sense of being dead or leaving one's body. Near-death
experiences are reported across cultures, with written records of them dating
back to ancient Greece. Not all of these experiences actually coincide with
brushes with death—one study of 58 such patients found 30 were not actually
in danger of dying, although most of them thought they were. Out-of-body
experiences are also now known to be common during interrupted sleep
patterns that immediately precede sleeping or waking. For instance, sleep
paralysis, or the experience of feeling paralyzed while still aware of the outside
world, is reported in up to 40 percent of all people and is linked with vivid
dreamlike hallucinations that can result in the sensation of floating above one's
body. Research found that out-of-body experiences can be artificially triggered
by stimulating the right temporoparietal junction in the brain, suggesting that
confusion regarding sensory information can radically alter how one experiences
one's body.
答案：A
The first sentence of the passage explains that near-death experience may include the sense of leaving one's
body (an out-of-body experience). Later it is stated that "Out-of-body experiences are also now known to be
common during interrupted sleep patterns that immediately precede sleeping or waking". This is an example of
an out-of-body experience which does NOT revolve around the sense of being dead, and thus confirms the
statement. Therefore, the answer is True.

答案：B
The passage first refers to the phenomenon as "out-of-body experiences" in
sentence four. The passage then gives as an example of this the "sensation of
floating above one's body" in sentence five. These out-of-body experiences, the
passage says, can occur "during interrupted sleep patterns that immediately
precede sleeping or waking." Thus, the sensation of floating above one's body
can occur before sleep (when one is awake) or before waking (when one is
asleep). Therefore, the answer is False.

答案：C
3% of the population says they have had a near-death experience, but this
does not necessarily mean that 97% have not had such an experience – some
might have had such an experience, but did not report it.
The text only refers to people’s statements and not to factual incidences.
Therefore, we CANNOT SAY what is the exact percentage of people who haven’t
undergone a near-death experience.
