CUSTOMER: Can you arrange flights from Sydney?
AGENT: Right You said that you wanted to travel next month Which date would you

PART 2 (Adapted From Close-Up Advanced)
Man: What is it about lost art and garages? First itwas Picasso works, now it's Klimt Woman: Oh yes, I remember the Picasso findings froma few years back - 2010 if I'm
not mistaken Around 270 undocumented works of art by Picasso were unveiled by his former electrician in France, who had stored them in his garage for around 40 years There was a huge controversy at the time because he
claimed that the artist had given him the works as a gift, but (6) Picasso's son Claude suspected that they had actually been stolen He claimed that
Picasso always signed and dated his gifts I wonder where these works are now Man: Well, the collection was immediately (7) seized by authorities and they're
currently being held in a vault in Nanterre, which is just outside Paris The
works are thought to be worth around £50 million, so they're being kept under lock and key by France's Central Office for the Fight Against Traffic in Cultural Goods until a full investigation is carried out
Woman: So what's the Klimt story?
Man: Well, there was a fresco that used to adorn the ceiling in the studio of art
nouveau artist Gustav Klimt He shared the studio with his brother Ernst
Trang 7between 1883 and 1892 But, the fresco went missing after a lift was installed
in the building in the 1980s The fresco, which is called Trumpeting Putto shows Cupid playing a trumpet and has been widely sought after in art circles since the 1960s
Woman: Where was the painting eventually found?
Man: The story goes that it turned up in a garage in northern Austria The man who
found it had only (8) recently become aware of its significance because Klimt had been in the news rather a lot due to his 150th birthday celebrations
Woman: That's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it? I'm sure that's bound to push up the
value of the painting no end
Man: Well, first of all they've got to establish its authenticity
Woman: What, do you mean it might not be an original?
Man: (9) Some art experts are disputing the fact that the fresco was done by
Gustav on the grounds that it isn't a signed piece nor is it a particularly good work of art
Woman: So, who do they think did it then? Is it just something the finder rustled up in
his spare time?
Man: No, nothing like that There's no doubt that the fresco is the one that adorned
Klimt's studio What is in dispute is whether it was painted by Gustav or (10)
Ernst, who was also an artist, though much less talented and celebrated
It's also said to bear similarities to other frescoes Ernst created Some say that
at best, the painting was a joint effort by the two brothers
PART 3 (Adapted from On-Screen Advanced)
Student: Thank you for agreeing to see me, Mr Gilmore
Teacher: That's OK Claire I'm usually here early preparing for my lessons so it's no bother
What can I do for you?
Student: Well, it's about the project you assigned at the end of class last week (11) I'm just not sure where to start I mean, it’s a massive subject and I don't know how to tackle it
Trang 8Teacher: The assignment is a presentation of a report, as with any report, you would have
to begin with an Introduction And since this Is a pro and con task, that intro would have to include a question which you will use the presentation to answer
Student: So, you mean I would have to explain tourism and ask whether it has a singularly
positive or negative impact on local communities around the world? But how would I explain tourism?
Teacher: Well, (12) you could focus on how it has evolved over the years It's very different now compared with how it was, say, 50 or even 20 years ago That maybe an
interesting angle
Student: OK, but how do I decide what to include in the body of the report? There's so
much information out there, I just couldn't figure that out
Teacher: OK, think about what tourism means to a local community What areas does it impact
on?
Student: Well, I suppose the economy is a big one It brings in money and creates jobs,
which can only be a good thing, right?
Teacher: Can it? What kinds of jobs does it create?
Student: Jobs for hotel workers, tour guides and waiting staff Generally, people who cater for
tourists
Teacher: And (13) what type of jobs are they? Are they long-term? How many of them actually pay a decent wage with good working conditions and do any of them come with the benefits that one might assume should be part of any employment package? Student: Oh, I see what you mean They're all tertiary positions so there's not much job
security and what do the people do out of season, and things like that
Teacher: Also, where does the money actually go? Yes, investment in the area improves
Infrastructure resulting in better roads, maybe a new airport and new accommodation, but
(14) It can also create problems of traffic congestion, increased pollution and higher property prices, which could leave locals priced out of the market
Student: I hadn't thought of that And the money that comes into the area doesn't always
stay there Resorts are often owned by overseas companies and money spent in the area can
Trang 9increase the prices of goods, which will increase the cost of living for locals, and the shops will cater for tourists by changing the range of items they stock
Teacher: So, you have to think carefully about both sides of the argument What's another
area that would be impacted?
Student: The environment? A lot of tourists go places because of the unspoilt beauty of the
landscape, but by just being there they are disrupting It
Teacher: How?
Student: Areas of vegetation have to be cleared to build roads, airports and hotels you
mentioned, so that's a major disruption Also, the tourists themselves co damage fragile ecosystems just by walking in oil wrong place or by dropping litter Not to mention the increased pollution from the rise in traffic
Teacher: OK, so those are the negative consequences felt by the environment What about
the positives?
Student: Well, (15) there has been a rise in people paying for eco-holidays which I suppose makes people more aware of the problems suffered in these areas And those
that want to help can do something about it like volunteer at clean-up sites or wildlife sanctuaries
PART 4 Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foVMwJtlR5s
Have you experienced déjà vu? It's that (16) shadowy feeling you get when a
situation seems familiar A scene in a restaurant plays out exactly as you remember The world moves like a ballet you've choreographed, but the sequence can't be based on a past experience because you've never eaten here before
This is the first time you've had clams, so what's going on? Unfortunately, there isn't
one single explanation for déjà vu The experience is brief and (17) occurs without notice,
making it nearly impossible for scientists to record and study it
Scientists can't simply sit around and wait for it to happen to them This could take
years It has no (18) physical manifestations and in studies, it's described by the subject as
a sensation or feeling Because of this lack of hard evidence, there's been a (19) surplus of speculation over the years
Trang 10Since Emile Boirac introduced déjà vu as a French term meaning "already seen," more than 40 theories attempt to explain this phenomenon Still, recent advancements in
neuroimaging and (20) cognitive psychology narrow down the field of prospects
Let's walk through three of today's more (21) prevalent theories, using the same
restaurant setting for each
First up is dual processing We'll need an action Let's go with a waiter dropping a tray of dishes As the scene unfolds, your brain's hemispheres process a flurry of information: the waiter's flailing arms, his cry for help, the smell of pasta Within milliseconds, this information zips through pathways and is processed into a single moment Most of the time, everything is recorded in-sync However, this theory asserts that déjà vu
occurs when there's (22) a slight delay in information from one of these pathways The
difference in arrival times causes the brain to interpret the late information as a separate event When it plays over the already-recorded moment, it feels as if it's happened before because, in a sense, it has
Our next theory deals with a confusion of the past rather than a mistake in the present This is the hologram theory, and we'll use that tablecloth to examine it As you scan its squares, a distant memory swims up from deep within your brain According to the theory, this is because memories are stored in the form of holograms, and in holograms, you only need one fragment to see the whole picture Your brain has identified the tablecloth with one from the past, maybe from your grandmother's house However, instead of remembering
that you've seen it at your grandmother's, your brain has (23) summoned up the old memory
without identifying it This leaves you stuck with familiarity, but no recollection Although you've never been in this restaurant, you've seen that tablecloth but are just failing to identify
it
Our last theory is divided attention, and it states that déjà vu occurs when our brain
(24) subliminally takes in an environment while we're distracted by one particular object
When our attention returns, we feel as if we've been here before For example, just now you focused on the fork and didn't observe the tablecloth or the falling waiter Although your brain has been recording everything in your peripheral vision, it's been doing so below
