3. II. READING Passage 1 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. All over the country young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent report by the housing group, Shelter. Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty- five will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as 'cardboard city' in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only homes - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary organizations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board for up to ten weeks.’ But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but “throwaways” - people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons. Take the case of one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics homework. It turned out that her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to do Science Advanced Level exams - which her parents refused her permission to do, saying that sciences were unladylike! Shelter says that the Government's laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of cheap housing and a cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left home for a good reason. Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can't get a job because employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can't get a job, you are homeless because you don't have any money to pay for accommodation. It's an impossible situation. (Source: FCE success workbook) 1: Why was Alice turned out of her home? A. She refused to do her homework in the evening. B. She didn’t want to study for her Advanced Level Exams. C. She had not obtained desirable marks in her exams. D.

A. they will never go back home again B. their benefits will be severely cut C. they will encourage their friends to do the same D. they will find it difficult to find work 3: The changes in the system of benefits mean that ___________. A. young people do not receive as much money as those over twenty-five B. anyone under twenty-five and not living at home will receive help with food and accommodation C. the under twenty-fives can claim money only if they have left home D. young people cannot claim money unless they are under sixteen or over twenty-five 4: The word “benefits” in paragraph 4 are probably _________. A. extra wages for part-time workers B. financial support for those in need C. a law about distributing money D. gifts of food and clothing 5: What is the reading passage mainly about?’ A. The problem of unemployed people all over the world B. Timely actions from the government to fight homelessness C. The unpleasant condition of young, homeless people D.

4. Passage 2 Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too busy to listen to their stories from the olden days. A study of 1,000 five- to 18-year-olds reveals just 21 per cent will visit their older relatives to hear about how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was living in the war, and how they met the love of their life. More than half of youths have no idea what job their grandparent did before retirement. Sadly, one in ten admit they are simply not interested in their grandmother's or grandad's talents and interests, and a quarter only turn up to see them for pocket money. But 23 percent claim the reason they don't know anything about their older relatives is that they don't really get the chance to talk properly. Researchers found that although 65 per cent of youngsters do see their grandparents every single week, 37 per cent claim this is only because their parents want them to. And while 39 per cent talk to their grandparents on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a week - 16 per cent once a day - conversation is rarely focused on what they are doing or have done in the past. Four in 10 kids have no idea what their grandparent's proudest achievements are, while 30 per cent don't know if they have any special skills or talents. And 42 per cent don't spend any time talking about their grandparent's history -and are therefore clueless about what their grandmother or grandad was like when they were younger. Perhaps due to this lack of communication and respect, just six per cent of children say they look up to their grandparents as a role model and inspiration. 1. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage? A. Young people's tendency to neglect their grandparents B. Grandparents' loneliness in their old age C. Grandparents' attitudes towards youngsters D. Young people's disinterest in their grandparents' stories 2. According to the study in paragraph 2, which information is NOT true? A. Nearby a quarter of young people don't have suitable opportunities to talk to older relatives. B. Over 50% of the young don't know about their older relatives' past professions. C. Most of youths visit their grandparents to ask for pocket money. D. Merely one fifth of people in the survey keep asking about the bygone time of their grandparents. 3. According to the last paragraph, the proportion of the young voluntarily visiting their older family members every week is _______. A. 39% B. 27% C. 28% D. 65% 4. The word 'admit' in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______. A. dissent B. refuse C. conceal D. confess 5. The word 'them' in paragraph 2 refers to ______. A. relatives B. youngsters C. talents D. grandparents 6. The phrase 'look up to' in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to? A. dread B. disrespect C. imagine D. admire 7. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Youngsters nowadays are too indifferent to their grandparents' lives in the past. B. Most young people use modern technology to keep in touch with their older generation. C. Children's lack of communication with grandparents leads to mutual misunderstanding. D. Grandchildren never care for their elderly relatives' special skills and talents. Passage 3 Hawaii is often considered to be one place in the world where you can find paradise. But when I arrived in Hawaii, I was shocked to discover beaches were covered in plastic rubbish washed up from around the world. As I dug through the sand, I realised the sandy beach was being transformed into a plastic beach. A chill went down my spine. From the beaches of Hawaii to the seas around Britain, we are polluting our own environment. Beaches are now covered in more rubbish than ever before. The plastic we see on our beaches is just a small amount of the plastic waste that exists in our oceans. Scientists believe that sea currents have created five huge garbage areas in our oceans, including the one in the North Atlantic. This is a global problem for which we are all responsible. Plastic makes our life easier, but its production and use are completely out of control. Because plastic rubbish in the oceans looks like food, it is being eaten by small fish, which in turn is eaten by large fish, 4
5. which in turn is eaten by us. Plastic is damaging our beaches, polluting the oceans, and poisoning our food chain. The consequences are still not fully understood, but they are likely to be terrible. We need to stop using plastic bags for packaging and single-use water bottles. These make up most of the plastic garbage in the oceans. In Bangladesh and Kenya, they have stopped using plastic bags completely. The UK has put a tax on plastic bags. Many supermarkets around the world are not packing goods in plastic. The future of our beaches, our seas, and the food chain is at risk. This is an environmental problem that we need to solve immediately. (Adapted from Headway by Soars, Soars and Hancock) 1: Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.
