Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
When I was 12,my parents moved out of London to a small village in Oxford.I was the only
Asian girl in my school,and I suddenly felt a bit lonely. Luckily,I had a brilliant art teacher who
encouraged me to go to art college.
However,on the day of my college interview in Bath,I woke up late.I left the house wearing
two odd shoes and didn’t notice that my bottle of chocolate milk had poured all over the painting
in my bag.Then when I finally got to the station,I got on the wrong train.Who knows,if I had gone
to Bath that day,I might have become a professional artist? But I went to Swindon instead.I told
the woman next to me on the train about what had happened,and she suddenly cried with
laughter.It turned out she was a producer of a comedy programme on the radio.
To cut a long story short,I got an invitation a week later to attend an interview for the show,and
the rest,as they say,is history.I’m very lucky.My life has been full of happy accidents.Now I am incharge of a very popular TV comedy programme.
Questions:
11.Why did the speaker feel lonely in her new school?
12.Where did the speaker plan to go for her college interview?
13.What incident had changed her fate?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following speech.
Today,I will make a speech on zoos.Many people think zoos are cruel,and have no place in
the modern world.It is my own opinion that zoos,although not perfect,do have a useful function.
Firstly,zoos are places of education.Zoos can help children to appreciate
nature.Furthermore,research into animal behaviour is done in zoos,and has increased knowledge
of zoology,genetics and even psycology.Above all,zoos can protect the future of many species of
animal.Many species today are in danger of extinction,and thanks to zoos,they have a chance of
survival.
Opponents of zoos say that they are cruel.First of all,they argue,zoos cannot recreate the
environment in which animals live and because of this,animals are bored into
depression.Secondly,in zoos animals have frequent contact with human visitors which can be
stressful.
However,in my opinion,most zoos have improved recently.It is now quite rare to see animals
in cages,and most zoos try hard to recreate the environment in which different animals live.
In conclusion,although zoos are not a perfect environment for animals,I believe that they
have more advantages than disadvantages.In an ideal world,zoos would not be necessary.But as
long as man hunts animals for profit and destroys their environments,zoos are essential.
Questions:
14.What is the most important function of zoos according to the speaker?15.Why are some people against zoos?
16.What does the speaker think of zoos?

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
M:In England today,are schools mixed or single-sex?
W:Well,there are both.50 years ago,all schools used to be single-sex.I mean, girls only or boys
only.Then in the 1970s,many schools changed and became mixed.
M:Do parents still prefer mixed schools?
W:No,things have changed.Today,many parents,especially parents of girls, think their children
get a better educa- tion in single-sex schools.
M:Why do girls does better at single-sex schools?
W:Because girls learn to be more self-confident and less worried about their appearance.

will be a positive influence on boys.
