Question 1 of 12
1. Question
READING
READING PASSAGE 1
VENUS
The planet Venus, named after the Roman goddess of love, is the second closest planet to the Sun (Mercury is the closest), and the second brightest natural object in the night sky (after the Moon).
From Earth, Venus is brightest just after sunset and just before dawn. Because of this, the planet is often known as the Morning Star or the Evening Star. Venus is also sometimes known as the Earth’s sister, because both planets share similarities in terms of size — Venus’ surface area and volume are just a little smaller than Earth’s. However, scientists believe that, several billion years ago, Venus and Earth were much more similar than they are today. Back then, Venus’ atmosphere was more like Earth’s, and there was almost certainly water in liquid form on the surface. Over time, Venus became hotter, and this water evaporated. Today, the planet’s surface is a dry dusty desert.
Above the ground on Venus are sulphuric acid clouds. These thick clouds prevent the surface of the planet being seen from Earth. Indeed, it is only in the last few decades that scientists have discovered what the surface of the planet is really like. In the early 1990s, NASAs Magellan spacecraft mapped the surface of Venus in detail for the first time. Its radar images of hills, ridges and craters are almost photographic in their quality.

Question 3 of 12
3. Question
READING PASSAGE 2
SUPERCONDUCTIVITY
In 1908, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes became the first scientist to produce liquid helium, achieving the lowest temperatures recorded up to that point. A number of researchers had suggested that materials behaved differently at very low temperatures, and this substance was important in allowing experiments that confirmed it. Working with solid mercury, Onnes demonstrated the phenomenon of superconductivity. This is when the electrical resistance of the metal drops suddenly to zero. No energy is lost as an electric current travels through the material, making it very efficient for storing or transmitting power. Since the work done by Onnes, other superconducting materials have been discovered that can be used at higher temperatures and which are therefore more economical.
There are a number of practical applications of superconducting materials. Many of these applications are based on the fact that the materials can be made into extremely powerful electromagnets. These are used in scientific experiments to direct beams of particles. They also form part of maglev trains – trains that float a small distance above the rails because of magnetic forces. Because there is no contact between the train and the rail, this form of transport is capable of very high speeds, although it is unlikely to be in widespread use until costs drop considerably.
Questions 11-15
Do the following statements agree with the information given in the Reading Passage?
Write
T – if the statement agrees with the information
F – if the statement contradicts the information
N – if there is no information on this
-
11. Many people had tried to produce liquid helium before Onnes.
12. Onnes was the only scientist interested in very low temperatures.
13. Liquid helium was used for science at very low temperatures.
14. Only metals can be used as superconductors.
15. Superconductors that work at higher temperatures are more expensive.

Questions 16-20
Complete the summary of the second paragraph.
Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.
-
Superconductors are used in a variety of contexts. Very 16 can be made out of superconducting materials and scientists use them in 17 . In transport, maglev trains rely on the 18 produced in superconductors to raise the train above the rails, the lack of 19 meaning that high velocities can be reached. The 20 of maglev systems limit their use.

I think the place I would most like 1 is England. I 2 English for about seven years now, and I still 3 to an English-speaking country. I think that if I 4 somewhere like England, I’d be able to practise my English, and also learn about the culture of another country. I 5 to Europe once with my family, but that was to Italy. I really enjoyed 6 all the tourist attractions, but it’s difficult when you don’t speak the local language. My father used 7 in England when he was a student, and he says that if he 8 that, then he wouldn’t have learned to speak English with a good accent. One of my ambitions is 9 there like he did, which I’m planning to do if I 10 all my exams.

It is rare for there to be an equal number of male and female students on a university course. Traditionally, in Britain 11 least, physics students are mainly male.
12 contrast, students studying modern languages such as French tend to be female. This raises two important questions: is this because of discrimination, and what, if anything, should be done about it?
To 13 mind, most universities do not discriminate in terms of gender. On 14 contrary, they are keen to increase the number of women on physics courses, and increase the number of men on French courses. The reason there are more women on certain courses is that more women apply. It may well also be true that, with certain courses, 15 an equal number of male and female students apply, the female applicants, for example, have better qualifications 16 the male applicants, and so are given more places.
It is essential that universities are allowed to choose the best qualified students for each subject. 17 they are forced to accept students because of their gender rather than ability, then the high standards of the university will decline. For this reason, I am opposed to rules 18 control how any male and female students they accept. 19 , that does not mean there is not a problem. In my opinion, the solution is to encourage children at a young age to take an interest in a wide range of subjects.
In conclusion, 20 is no doubt that some university courses have more male or female students.
While this is not ideal, the solution is not to force universities to accept an equal number of students. Universities should always choose the best students for each course, whatever their gender.
