Apparently not Most students either can't think that far ahead or have no intention of doing so They would rather aim low so as not to be disappointed if they get low marks

However, child psychologists, who have been (36) on the matter, stress that students should aim high, but at the same time, have a variety of other options As a result, students will not have

to worry about grades and in the long run will have better chances of succeeding On the whole, there are (37) practical things that parents can do and which may prove invaluable to their children Apart from being people their children can turn to, parents can plan a reasonable schedule (38) both they and their children agree on According to psychologists' instructions, this schedule should include no more than eight hours of studying, three proper meals a day and some exercise Finally, prior to each exam, parents need to reassure their children that everything will be fine whatever the result

Twenty-five students from Walling School are currently living in France They are there for three months as part of a living-abroad project The 16- and 17-year-old students are living with French families and attending a French school Most of the students have taken French language classes for 3 or 4 years and are finally getting on opportunity to use their French

Not only are students learning a new language, but they are learning about a new culture, too Students have been particularly surprised about the French attitude towards food “They won't leave anything on their plate” says Vanessa Athol “They aren't wasteful at all” Vanessa has vowed

to be more careful with waste when returning to the United States

The group's chaperone, Mrs Smith, has been pleased with the students' acquisition of language

“Even the most timid are trying their best to speak The students are learning a lot I'm very impressed,” she said Mrs Smith added that she thinks living with a French family makes a difference because students are forced to speak French “We are all very grateful to the French families who are hosting us.”

The French families are happy to have the students, as they are getting to learn about American culture Both groups will be celebrating the exchange at a large potluck dinner at the end of the

stay There will be a slide show of memories and the students will speak about their experiences

Currently, the American students are periodically posting pictures and student essays on the Walling School website “Living in France in an experience I'll never forget,” writes student Tina Davis “I know I'll want to eat these croissants and this Camembert for the rest of my life!”

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 questions

When you're sleepy, stressed or have had a few drinks, you're not in the best position to drive - or even make that decision But automated cars could soon determine whether or not you can drive for you In Europe, more than 25,000 people lose their lives on the road every year, while another

135,000 are seriously injured And the main culprits are speed, alcohol or drug driving, non-use of

seat belts, distraction, and fatigue

The type of automated cars on the road today provide steering, brake and acceleration support while the driver is still at the wheel and constantly monitors the driving These are known as level two on the car autonomy scale, but cars could reach up to level five on the six-level scale in the future - becoming a completely driverless car However, there is still a long way to go and we have

to take it step-by-step, says Dr Anna Anund from the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute

She and her team are developing a sensor-based system as part of a project to move towards level three, in which the driver can rest and would only be expected to drive when the car requests it The system would also automatically transfer control between vehicle and driver to ensure road

safety, especially when the driver is sleepy, stressed, distracted or anxious It also uses many types

of sensors to keep tabs on the drivers' state, such as eye trackers and sensors to measure heart rate

and changes in voice or face images, most of which are on the vehicle's dashboard, wheel or seat But all of this is still not enough Dr Anund also notes that each person varies and reacts differently

in both normal and impairment states, such as sleepiness, and therefore the system should work on

an individual level To measure heart rate variability accurately, for example, information such as age and gender should be included or the initial state of the driver should be used as a reference

“It's important to develop systems where your individual preferences and behaviours are incorporated, so we will also focus on human-computer interaction,” she said

Question 44 The word culprits in paragraph 1 can be best replaced by

A benefits B effects C drawbacks D causes

Question 45 Which of the following is TRUE about the system developed by Dr Anund's team?

A It requests to take control if a driver is distracted or stressed

B It makes use of many sensors to monitor drivers' conditions

C It helps driverless cars reach level six on the autonomy scale

D It detects when a driver is sleepy and help them stay awake

Question 46 What does the passage mostly concern?

A The development of a new self-driving car system

B The main causes of fatal traffic accidents in Europe

C The biological factors that self-driving cars measure

D The reasons why more people prefer driverless cars

Question 47 The word It in paragraph 3 refers to

A vehicle B driver C system D control

Question 48 According to the paragraph 4, Dr Anund says the system should work on an individual level because

A driverless cars cannot work if they cannot measure heart rate

B each individual driver is different from one another

C the system cannot determine the driver's initial state

D sensors will be inaccurate without any personal information

Question 49 The phrase keep tabs on in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

A dominate B monitor C stimulate D enhance

Question 50 According to paragraph 2, cars can at level two of the car autonomy scale

A provide drivers with assistance while they are in control

B determine whether or not a person is capable of driving

C automatically steer, brake and accelerate without drivers

D become completely automatic and operate with no driver

Carbon dating can be used to estimate the age of any organic natural material; it has been used

successfully in archeology to determine the age of ancient artifacts or fossils as well as in a variety

of other fields The principle underlying the use of carbon dating is that carbon is a part of all

living things on Earth Since a radioactive substance such as carbon-14 has a known half-life, the amount of carbon-14 remaining in an object can be used to date that object

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,570 years, which means that after that number of years, half of the carbon- 14 atoms have decayed into nitrogen-14 It is the ratio of carbon-14 in that substance that indicates the age of the substance If, for example, in a particular sample the amount of carbon-14

is roughly equivalent to the amount of nitrogen-14, this indicates that around half of the

carbon-14 has decayed into nitrogen-carbon-14, and the sample is approximately 5,570 years old

Carbon dating cannot be used effectively in dating objects that are older than 80,000 years When objects are that old, much of the carbon-14 has already decayed into nitrogen-14, and the miniscule amount that is left doesn’t provide a reliable measurement of age In the case of older objects, other age- dating methods are available, methods which use radioactive atoms with longer half-lives than carbon has

Question 44: This passage is mainly about

A archeology and the study of ancient artifacts

B one method of dating old objects

C various uses for carbon

D the differences between carbon-14 and nitrogen-14

Question 45: Which of the following is NOT true about carbon-14?

A It and nitrogen always exist in equal amounts in any substance

B Its half-life is more than 5,000 years

C It can decay into nitrogen-14

D It is radioactive

Question 46: The word “it” in paragraph I refers to

A carbon dating B the age

C any organic natural material D archeology

Question 47: The word “underlying” in paragraph I could best be replaced by

A below B requiring

C serving as a basis for D being studied through

Question 48: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses

A what substances are part of all living things

B how carbon-14 decay intonitrogen-14

C why carbon-14 has such a long half-life

D various other age-dating methods

Question 49: It is implied in the passage that

A carbon dating has no known uses outside of archeology

B fossils cannot be age-dated using carbon-14

C carbon dating could not be used on an item containing nitrogen

D carbon-14 does not have the longest known half-life

Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that if an item contains more carbon-14 than

nitrogen- 14, then the item is

A not as much as 5,570 years old

B too old to be age-dated with carbon-14

C too radioactive to be used by archeologists

D more than 5.570 years old
