Part 3: Read the text and decide which is the best word A, B, C, or D to
complete the gap 46-53. An example is given (0).
I have learned, often the hard (0) way, that there are a few simple rules
about how to make life easier both before and after the journey. First of all,
you must always check and double-check departure times. This is absolutely
essential. It is amazing how few people do this really carefully. Once I
arrived at the airport few minutes before ten. My secretary had got the ticket
for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10.50. I walked
calmly to the departure gate, thinking I (46) _________had a little time to
spare. I hadn’t bothered to take a good look at the ticket. The clerk at the
desk told me politely but firmly that the departure time was 10.15 and that,
(47)_________to international regulations, the flight was ‘now closed’.
Secondly, you should remember that even in this (48)_______of
credits cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency
with you when you arrive in a country. This can be absolutely essential if
you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago, I was
sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via Dallas with very little
time to (49)_________planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the
bank at the airport was closed. The only (50)________to get to the hotel was
by taxi and, since I had no American dollars, I offered to pay in British
pounds instead.
‘Listen, buddy. I only take real money!’ the driver said angrily.
Luckily, I was able to (51)_______a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel,
but it was very embarrassing.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the
weather at your (52)______before you leave. It may be very different from
the weather at home. I feel sorry for some of my colleagues who travel in
heavy suits and raincoats in March or April, when it is still fairly cool in
places like London, Berlin or New York, to places like Athens, Rome or
Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. Few
people understand just how important it is to have a right sort of clothes with
you in these days of rapid air (53)________

III. READING
Part 1: You are going to read a teacher’s memories of a class she taught.
For questions
54-60, choose the answer (a, B, C, or D) which you think fits best
according to the text.
Halliday’s writing leaned very much back to the left. He was the only
pupil in the class who wrote in this way. He was a nuisance in poetry lessons
as he would giggle and make faces and could never be persuaded to read
aloud. His silly behaviour made me believe that he didn’t like poetry.
However, when I gave class a test in which they had to write down some
poetry they had learned by heart, Halliday seemed to know the most.
Halliday had a special dislike for art and I allowed him to read during this
period. He never volunteered for drama and refused to make a speech.
Football was the one thing at which he excelled, but the sports teacher
decided that he did not assert himself enough and he made another boy
captain. This boy - his name was John Jones - could hardly read or write. All
attempts to make him work failed, but he captained the team with amazing
skill.
I remember an occasion when he led our school eleven out of the changing
rooms for a cup match against our fiercest rivals, the team from nearby
Winterton School. The Winterton girls’ hockey team had already beaten our
own girls’ team and this - plus their excellent start to the season – had raised
their morale to a fearsome level. Even so, John played like a true
professional. Our only scorer, he made good use of Halliday’s passes and
scored a goal for every two that the Winterton players could manage
between them. Though Kingston lost, the match was a triumph for Captain
Jones!
In spite of all this, the pupil who impressed me most in the end was
David Halliday. He gained my admiration on a day when I had his class for
art. They came into the hut shouting and pushing and I sent them out again
and told them they would not have a lesson until they walked in properly.
They thought it was fun to waste as much time as possible, and they jeered
and cheered outside the hut. I let them go on for a minute. Suddenly the
noise stopped and in marched Halliday.
‘They are all right now’, he said. ‘I’ve got them lined up.’ I looked
outside and sure enough the pupils of class 2D were arranged like well
drilled soldiers; they were in order of size and in perfect line – so still I
could see them shivering in the chilly air. ‘Walk in quietly’, Halliday
commanded. They obeyed their superior officer and the lesson began.
Halliday himself, as usual, refused to work. ‘Can I just sit and have a nap?’
he asked. After the help he had given me I could hardly refuse.
54. Halliday stood out from the other pupils because of his...
A. beautiful handwriting
B. bad behaviour
C. love of poetry
D. skill as a footballer
55. Halliday failed to be chosen as captain of the football team because...
A. he was thought to be lazy.
B. he was thought to be a poor leader.
C. Jones was bad at other things and needed encouragement.
D. Jones was better at scoring goals when under pressure.
56. Who felt really confident at the start of the match?
A. the Winterton girls’ hockey team
B. the Winterton football team
C. the Kinston team, led by John Jones
D. John Jones and David Halliday
57. The match was a triumph for John Jones because...
A. his team won.
B. he scored all Kingston’s goals.
C. he made good use of Halliday’s passes.
D. he was chosen as Kingston’s captain in stead of Halliday.
58. After being turned out of the hut, class 2D started behaving themselves
because...
A. the teacher refused to let them in until they did.
B. they had to obey their superior officer.
C. David Halliday sorted them out.
D. they wanted to get in out of the cold.
59. David Halliday’s teacher...
A. admired his memory for poetry.
B. admired his strong personality.
C. realized that he deserved to be captain of the football team.
D. realized that he deserved to read or rest during art lessons.
