V. Give the correct form of the words in bracket.
All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in (39. meaning) sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of characters and rules for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Word order is more important in English than it is in some languages such as (40. Russia).
Like other languages English is always changing, but it changes very (41. slow). People invent new words, borrow words from other languages, and change the meaning of words as (42. need). For example, the English word byte was invented by computer (43. special) in 1959. The word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, an (44. America) Indian language (45. speak) in Mexico. The word meat once referred to food in general. People learn English as well as (46. language)by listening, copying what they hear, and (47. use) the language. Most school children learn their first language (48. easy) – and sometimes other languages as well.

Last Sunday was definitely not a good day for me. It
was all started when I got into my car and it refused
to start. I immediately realised that I had left the
lights on and the battery had gone flat. I telephoned to
my friend George and he came round and helped me
start the car. I then drove into town to see a friend. I
had arranged to meet him at six thirty, but by
the time I got to there, it was ten past seven and my
friend he was not there, I waited for him for an hour
despite of the freezing weather, but he didn’t come.
When I had returned to my car, I saw that someone
had been broken into it, probably looking for the radio.
Luckily, I never leave the radio in the car! There
was nothing I could do but get into my car and drive to home. Later I spoke with my friend and discovered out that he
had waited for only the half an hour and left. He didn’t
even apologise himself for not waiting for me longer!

VII. Fill in each numbered blank ONE suitable preposition.
Paper was invented by the Chinese (64)... the first century A.D. The art of papermaking took 700 years to reach the Muslim world and another 700 years to get to Britain (via Spain, France and Germany).
Most paper is made (65)... wood. When the trees are cut down, they are carried (66)... land or water to paper mills. Here they are cut up and the wood is broken up into fibres, mixed (67)... water and chemicals. This woodpulp is then dried up on a machine and made (68)... paper.
Papermaking is an important British industry, and paper from Britain is exported (69)... South Africa, Australia and many other countries. Some of the wood used in British papermaking industry comes (70)... trees grown in Britain, but wood is also imported (71)... other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed (72)... every 400 copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain each day buy one daily paper, this uses up over 40,000 trees a day. Trees are cut (73)... faster than they can be replaced, so there may be a paper shortage before the year 2020.

IX. Read the following passage, then circle the correct answer.
In the UK we each use about two hundred steel food and drink cans every year. Steel cans are popular because they are convenient, easy to store and unbreakable. But when you have finished with a can, what do you do with it? Do you throw it away and forget all about it? Probably! But behind the scenes there are people whose job it is to make sure that the steel is never wasted. In fact, recycling or reusing steel cans is so successful that every day of the year more than five million cans start new lives in new steel products.
After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all it is collected by the men who empty your dustbin each week together with all the other household rubbish. Then the rubbish is sorted and the steel cans are taken separately to a special factory which turns dirty old cans into high quality steel. It’s this steel which may well find its way back into your home in the form of knives and forks, garden equipment and, of course, food and drink cans. So next time you open your fizzy drink just remember where your can may have been.

B. To understand how rubbish is collected. D. To discover what happens to old cans.

A. Every person uses 5, 000 cans a year.
B. All cans and tins are now made from steel.
C. Over 5,000,000 cans are recycled daily.
D. It reduces the amount of waste to collect.
