Questions 96 – 105 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question We live in a world of tired, sleep deprived people. In his book Counting Sheep, Paul Martin – a behavioral biologist – describes a society which is just too busy to sleep and which does not give sleeping the importance it deserves. Modern society has invented reasons not to sleep. We are now a 24/7 society where shops and services must be available all hours. We spend longer hours at work than we used to, and more time getting to work. Mobile phones and email allow us to stay in touch round the clock and late-night TV and the Internet tempt us away from our beds. When we need more time for work or pleasure, the easy solution is to sleep less. The average adult sleeps only 6.2 hours a night during the week, whereas research shows that most people need eight or even eight and a half hours’ sleep to feel at their best. Nowadays, many people have got used to sleeping less than they need and they live in an almost permanent state of ‘sleep debt’. Until the invention of the electric light in 1879 our daily cycle of sleep used to depend on the hours of daylight. People would get up with the sun and go to bed at nightfall. But nowadays our hours of sleep are mainly determined by our working hours (or our social life) and most people are woken up artificially by an alarm clock. During the day caffeine, the world’s most popular drug, helps to keep us awake. 75% of the world’s population habitually consume caffeine, which up to a point masks the symptoms of sleep deprivation. What does a chronic lack of sleep do to us? As well as making us irritable and unhappy as humans, it also reduces our motivation and ability to work. This has serious implications for society in general. Doctors, for example, are often chronically sleep deprived, especially when they are on ‘night call’, and may get less than three hours’ sleep. Lack of sleep can seriously impair their mood, judgment, and ability to take decisions. Tired engineers, in the early hours of the morning, made a series of mistakes with catastrophic results. On our roads and motorways lack of sleep kills thousands of people 5 | P a g e
6. every year. Tests show that a tired driver can be just as dangerous as a drunken driver. However, driving when drunk is against the law but driving when exhausted isn’t. As Paul Martin says, it is very ironic that we admire people who function on very little sleep instead of criticizing them for being irresponsible. Our world would be a much safer, happier place if everyone, whatever their job, slept eight hours a night. 96. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about Paul Martin? A. He shows his concern for sleep deprivation in modern society. B. He gives an interesting account of a sleepless society. C. He is a scientist who is chronically deprived of sleep. D. He describes the modern world as a place without insomnia. 97. The phrase round the clock in the second paragraph is similar in meaning to______. A. all day and night B. surrounded with clocks C. during the daytime D. having a round clock 98. The writer mentions the Internet in the passage as______. A. a temptation that prevents us from sleeping B. an easy solution to sleep deprivation C. an ineffective means of communication D. a factor that is not related to sleep deprivation 99. According to the third paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? A. Our social life has no influence on our hours of sleep. B. The sun obviously determined our daily routines. C. The electric light was invented in the 19th century. D. The electric light has changed our daily cycle of sleep. 100. The word which in the third paragraph refers to______. A. reaching a point B. masking the symptoms C. the world’s population D. caffeine consumption 101. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the last paragraph? A. Doctors ‘on night call’ do not need more than three hours of sleep a day. B. Our motivation decreases with the bigger number of hours we sleep. C. Sleep deprivation has negative effects on both individuals and society. D. Thousands of people are killed every day by drunken drivers. 102. The word catastrophic in the last paragraph probably means______. A. bound to bring satisfaction B. becoming more noticeable C. causing serious damage or loss D. likely to become worthless 103. Which of the following would the writer of the passage approve of? A. Our world would be a much safer place without drinkers. B. Both drunken drivers and sleep-deprived people should be criticized. C. There is no point in criticizing irresponsible people in our society. D. We certainly can function well even when we hardly sleep. 104. All of the following are mentioned as those whose performance is affected by ‘sleep debt’ EXCEPT_____. A. doctors B. drivers C. biologists D. engineers 105. Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage? A. Accident Prevention: Urgent! B. Sleep Deprivation: Causes and Effects C. A Society of Sleepless People D. A Well-known Biologist Part 3: Questions 106 – 115. (2.0 points- 0.2/ each) Read the text below to decide if each statement is TRUE or FALSE. My California Travel Blog — A Day a t Rask in Cattle Ranch 6 | P a g e
7. by Tim Blanchflower I spent most of last summer holiday in California on the beach - and who wouldn't? However, one day I got the chance to try something a bit different - to go on a day trip to a working cattle ranch just north of Los Angeles. That's what I'm going to blog about today. Although the ranch was only about 50 kilometres from where I was staying with my uncle, it took ages to get there because the traffic out of the city was so bad. Fortunately, our guide and coach driver, Maria, kept us entertained with her stories and jokes. The Raskin Ranch is located in a beautiful little valley, and has been home for six generations of the Raskin family. It has been a family business since 1895, providing an income from both the cattle and the guest house. These guys know what they're doing! I fell in love with the place as soon as I arrived. The people working there walk around in jeans and cowboy hats - not as Dart of a tourist show, but because that's the most practical way to dress for the work they do. These are real cowboys, though it should be said that they prefer to call themselves cattle ranchers. The first thing we did when we got there was eat lunch. You won't be surprised to hear that there was one thing on the menu: steak, cooked on a barbecue. I'm glad I'm not vegetarian, because I have never eaten a steak as good as that one. In fact, every steak I've eaten since then has been a bit disappointing in comparison. You'd think an afternoon and evening at a cattle ranch wouldn't give you a lot of time to experience the place, but it was incredible how much we crammed into a short visit. First thing after lunch was a riding tour of the ranch. Don't worry f like me, you haven't had much to do with horses in your life. These animals are well-trained and calm - perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. 106. The reason Tim went to the cattle ranch was to find work. ______ 107. Tim was bored on the long journey to the ranch. ______ 108. The Raskin Cattle Ranch has been owned by the same fam ily for over 100 years. ______ 109. The workers on the ranch wear special clothes to entertain visitors. ______ 110. Everyone on the trip ate the same food for lunch. ______ 111. Tim was rather disappointed with the food he was given. ______ 112. Tim did more than he had expected to do on the ranch. ______ 113. Tim enjoyed the tour of the ranch because he was an experienced horse rider. ______ 114. Tim found his day on the ranch to be very educational. ______ 115. Tim is certain that he will return to Raskin Cattle Ranch one day. ______ SECTION IV. WRITITNG (4.0 points) Part 1: Questions 116 – 120.
