Of course, these costs increase with time.2 Upon arrival, students should have funds in excess of the average to cover the cost of textbooks and establishment expenses such as rental bond payment and basic furniture items. The amount spent on food, recreation, and entertainment expenses will vary according to requirements, budget, and location.3 Those who are prepared to live in shared accommodation, which may not be suitable for all, might manage on $10,000 per year. It is preferable for overseas students whose English is in need of practice to take advantage of live-in situations with native-speakers whenever possible. However, sharing with friends who are easy to communicate with is probably more sensible at first.4 The above figures do not include the cost of large non-essential items such as household equipment or a car. Owning and maintaining a motor vehicle is expensive in Australia. Insurance is compulsory and costly, and parking both on and of campus can be a problem requiring additional expense. It is not advisable for a student to own a car unless it is absolutely necessary. A reasonable second-hand car can cost in excess of $40005 Educational institutions are almost always serviced by reliable public transport. The university and college campuses within the major cities are well served by public busses. In addition, the larger cities have extensive train systems. For example, in Sydney, most college and university campuses are only 10 or 20 minutes from a rail station.6 The summer vacation requires special financial planning. Expenses for this period must be carefully estimated and added to costs for the academic year in order to give a realistic total figure for the calendar year. They are not included in the estimated $10,000-$12,000 previously quoted. University eating facilities, and some university and college housing facilities, close during this time. As a general rule, international students should expect to spend at least as much on monthly living expenses during the summer as they do during the academic year.7 Under present immigration regulations, international students are allowed to work up to 20 hours during term time and full-time during vacation. It is impossible for students to expect toearn sufficient funds working part-time to pay for tuition fees and living costs. While some students are able to supplement their funds with money from part-time and/or vacation work, such work is not always regular even when available, and this can contribute to anxiety and study problems. In general, it is unrealistic to start a course with insufficient funds in the hope that "something will turn up". Students should be aware that vacation work has become more difficult to find over the last few years, but those interested can contact the Commonwealth Employment Service or the Students' Union on campus.8 Warm clothes are necessary in the southern States during winter months, as night temperatures can drop to less than 10 degrees Celsius. Students should bring as much clothing from home as possible, especially if funds are limited. Information on where to buy inexpensive clothes can be obtained from the International Student Centre of most colleges and universities.9 Do not rush into buying expensive textbooks. It is advisable to wait until your first lectures and tutorials, and then ask academic staff which are the essential purchases. There is usually a second-hand bookshop on campus, and used texts are also advertised on faculty notice boards.10 The Students' Union coordinates a number of outlets on the various university campuses that provide stationery items and other essential study equipment at reasonable prices. Some courses require specialised equipment which can be quite costly, and it is wise to check any additional costs involved with the course of your choice.11 In general, those practically orientated courses tend to incur higher additional costs. Expenses for books, stationery, and equipment vary greatly, but you should allow approximately $500-$1000 a year.12 Most university campuses have banks and/or credit unions. The banks issue drafts, traveller's cheques or foreign currency notes, and accept telex or airmail transactions. In some colleges and universities the credit union is the institution's own credit union. In addition to normal banking and financial services (with no transaction charges), credit unions usually provide special services for international students.13 Money may be deposited or withdrawn from branches of the credit unions and banks during business hours from Monday to Friday (but not on public holidays) or 24 hours a day from the many on-campus automatic teller machines. Business hours for financial institutions vary, but credit unions are usually open from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays, and, generally, banks are open from 9.30 am to 4 pm (5 pm on Fridays). Some services are available on Saturday mornings in selected areas. While prices often compare favourably with prices overseas, because Australia is a large and exciting country it is very easy to overspend, especially if on a tight budget.Educationstationery8%Entertainment22%Food 15%15%Questions 5-15Complete the summary of the reading passage2 using words from the box.It is recommended that students have sufficient funds available to cover both the costs of living and studying while in Australia.

Michael Huffman and Mohamedi Seifu, working in the Mahale Mountains National Park in Tanzania, noticed that local chimpanzees suffering from intestinal worms would dose themselves with pith of a plant called Veronia. This plant produces poisonous chemicals called terpenes. Its pith contains a strong enough concentration to kill gut parasites, but not so strong as to kill chimps(nor people, for that matter; locals use the pith for the same purpose).Evidence for the detoxifying nature of clay came in 1999, from an experiment carried out on macaws by James Gilardi and his colleagues at the University of California, Davis, Macaws eat seeds containing alkaloids, a group of chemicals that has some notoriously toxic members such as strychnine. In the wild, the birds are frequently seen perched on eroding riverbanks eating clay.In 1972 Richard Wrangham, a researcher at the Gombe Stream Reserve in Tanzania, noticed that chimpanzees were eating the leaves of a tree called Aspilla. The chimps chose the leaves carefully by testing them in their mouths. Having chosen a leaf, a chimp would fold it into a fan and swallow it. Some of the chimps were noticedwrinkling their noses as they swallowed these leaves, suggesting the experience was unpleasant. Later, undigested leaves were found on the forest floor.It was Dr Huffman who got to the bottom of the problem. He did so by watching what came out of the chimps, rather than concentrating on what went in. He found that the egested l eaves were full of intestinal worms. The factor common to all 19 species of leaves swallowed by the chimps was that they were covered with microscopic hooks. These caught the worms and dragged them form their lodgings.Questions 21-25Complete t he notes below using NO MORE THAN ONE WORD OR NUMBER from the following paragraphsWrite your answers in boxes 5-9 on your answer sheet.Date Name Animal Food Mechanism1987 MichaelHuffman andMohanmediSeifu Chimpanzee 21______ofVeroniaContainedchemicals,22___, that cankill parasites1999 James Gilardiand hiscolleagues Macaw Seeds(contain23_____)andclayClaycan24____thepoisonouscontents infood1972 RichardWrang-ham Chimpanzee Leaves withtiny25_____onsurfaceSuch leavescan catch andexpel wormsfrom intestinesPassage two（每题3分，共15分）Sometimes ideas just pop up out of the blue.

The windows steamed up and Iwent to sleep with a towel against the glass. When I woke, the thing was soaking wet.I had to wring it out. And it set me thinking. Why was it so wet?”The answer, of course, was condensation. Back home in London, a physicistfriend, Philip Davies, explained that the glass, chilled by the rain outside, had cooledthe hot humid air inside the bus below its dew point, causing droplets of water to formon the inside of the window. Intrigued, Paton-a lighting engineer by profession-startedrigging up his own equipment. “I made my own solar stills. It occurred to me that you might be able to produce water in this way in the desert, simply by cooling the air. Iwondered whether you could make enough to irrigate fields and grow crops.”Today, a decade on, his dream has taken shape as giant greenhouse on a desertisland off Abu Dhabi in the Persian Gulf ---the first commercially viable Version ofhis “seawater greenhouse”.Questions 26-30Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 3?In boxes 27-31 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this26.

But despite thissetback, William was determined to get his education.He began visiting a local library that had just openedin his old primary school, where he discovered atattered science book. With only a rudimentary graspof English, he taught himself basic physics-mainly byStudying photos and diagrams. Another book hefound there featured windmills on the cover andinspired him to try and build his own.He started by constructing a small model. Then, with the help of a cousin and friend, he spent many weeks searching scrap yards and found old tractor fans, shock absorbers, plastic pipe and bicycle parts, which he used to build the real thing.For windmill blades, William cut some bath pipe in two lengthwise, then heated the pieces over hot coals to press the curled edges flat. To bore holes into the blades, he stuck a nail through half a corncob, heated the metal red and twisted it through the blades. It took three hours to repeatedly heat the nail and bore the holes. He attached the blades to a tractor fan using proper nuts and bolts and then to the back axle of a bicycle. Electricity was generated through the bicycle dynamo. When the wind blew the blades, the bike chain spun the bike wheel, which charged the dynamo and sent a current through wire to his house.What he had built was a crude machine that produced 12 volts and powered four lights. When it was all done, the windmill’s wingspan measured more than eight feet and sat on top of a ricketytower 15 feet tall that swayed violently in strong gales. He eventually replaced the tower with a sturdier one that stands 39 feet, and built a second machine that watered a family garden.The windmill brought William Kamkwamba instant local fame, but despite his accomplishment, he was still unable to return to school. However, news of his magetsi a mphepo -electric wind -spread beyond Malawi, and eventually things began to change. An education official, who had heard news of the windmill, came to visit his village and was amazed to learn that William had been out of school for five years. He arrayed for him to attend secondary school at the government's expense and brought journalists to the farm to see the windmill. Then a story published in the Malawi Daily Mail caught the attention of bloggers, which in tum caught the attention of organizers for the Technology Entertainment and Design conference.In 2007, William spoke at the TED Global conference in Tanzania and got a standing ovation. Businessmen stepped forward with offers to fund his education and projects, and with money donated by them, he was able to put his cousin and several friends back into school and pay for some medical needs of his family. With the donation, he also drilled a borehole for a well and water pump in his village and installed drip irrigation in his father's fields.The water pump has allowed his family to expand its crops. They have abandoned tobacco and new grow maize, beans, soybeans, potatoes and peanuts. The windmills have also brought big lifestyle and health changes to the other villagers. 'The village has changed a lot,1 William says. 'Now, the time that they would have spent going to fetch water, they are using for doing other things. And also the water they are drinking is dean water, so there is less disease. The villagers have also stopped using kerosene and can use the money previously spent on fuel to buy other things.William Kamkwamba's example has inspired other children in the village to pursue science. William says they now see that if they put their mind to something, they can achieve it. 'It has changed the way people think,’ he says.Questions 1-5Complete the flow chart below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Building the WindmillWilliam learned some 1 .......... from a library book.First, he built a 2 ............. of the windmill.Then he collected materials from 3.............. with a relative.He made the windmill blades from pieces of 4. .............He fixed the blades to a 5 .............. and then to part of a bicycle.He raised the blades on a tower.Questions 6-10Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?

It is concerned with the people of Africa, the Americas, Asia, the pacific and parts of Europe. While this includes complex kingdoms, as in Africa, and ancient empires, such as those of the twentieth century focus of attention in the twentieth century has been on small-scale societies. Through its collections, the Department's specific interest is to document how objects are created and used, and to understand their importance and significance to those who produce them. Such objects can include both the extraordinary and the mundane, the beautiful and the banal.The collections of the Department of Ethnography include approximately 300,000 artefacts, of which about half are the product of the present century. The Department has a vital role to play in pro- viding information on non-Western cultures to visitors and scholars. To this end, the collecting emphasis has often been less on individual objects than on groups of mate- rang of a society's cultural expressions. Much of the more recent collecting was carried out in the field, sometimes by Museum staff working on general anthropological projects in collaboration with a wide variety of national governments and other institutions. The material collected includes great technical series-for instance, of textiles from Bolivia. Guatemala, Indonesia and areas of West Africa-or of artefact types such as boats. The latter include working examples of coracles from India, reed boats from lake Titicaca in the Andes, kayaks from the Arctic, and dug-out canoes from several countries. The field assemblages, such as those from the Sudan, Madagascar and Yemen, include a whole range of material culture representative of one people. The might cover the necessities of life of an African herdsman or on Arabian farmer, ritual objects, or even on occasion airport art, Again, a series of acquisitions might represent a decade's fieldwork documenting social experience as expressed in the varieties of clothing and jewellery styles, tents and camel trappings from various Middle Eastern countries, or in the developing preferences in personal adornment and dress from Papua New Guinea. Particularly interesting are a series of collections which continue to document the evolution of ceremony and of material forms for which the Department already possesses early (if not the earliest) collections formed after the first contact with Europeans.The importance of these acquisitions extends beyond the objects themselves. They come to the Museum with documentation of the social context, ideally inc luding photographic records. Such acquisitions have multiple purposes. Most significantly they document for future change. Most people think of the cultures represented in the collection in terms of the absence of advanced technology. in fact. traditional practices draw on a continuing wealth of technological ingenu iry Limited resources and ecological constraints are often overcome by personal skills that would be regarded as exceptional in the West. Of growing interest is the way in which much of what we might see as disposable is, elsewhere, recycled and reused.With the independence of much of Asia and Africa after 1945. it was assumed that economic progress would rapidly lead to the disappearance or assimilation of many small-scale societies. Therefore, it was felt that the Museum should acquire materials representing people whose art or material culture, ritual or political structures were on the point of irrevocable change. This attitude altered with the realisation that marginal communities can survive and adopt in spite of partial integration into a notoriously fickle world economy. Since the seventeenth century, with the advent of trading companies exporting manufactured textiles to North America and Asia, the importation of cheap goods has often contributed to the destruction of local skills and indigenous markets. On the one hand modem imported goods may be used in on everyday setting, while on the other hand. other traditional objects may still be required for ritually significant events. Within this context trade and exchange attitudes are inverted. What are utilitarian objects to a Westerner may be prizedobjects in other cultures- when trans- formed by local ingenuity-principally for aesthetic value. in the same way, the West imports goods form other peoples and in certain circumstances categorises the m as ‘art'.Collections act as an ever-expanding database, not merely for scholars and anthropologists, but for people involved in a whole range of educational and art is tic purposes. These include schools and universities as well as colleges of art and design. The provision of information about non-Western aesthetics and techniques, not just for designers and artists but for all visitors, is a growing responsibility for a Department whose own context is an increasingly multicultural European society.Questions 1-6Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet writeTRUE if the statement is true according to the passageFALSE if the statement is false according to the passageNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passageExample AnswerThe Department of Ethnography FALSEreplaced the Department of Antiquitiesat the British Museum.1 The twentieth-century collections come mainly from mainstream societies such as the US and Europe.2 The Department of Ethnography focuses mainly on modern societies.3 The Department concentrates on collecting single unrelated objects of great value.4 The textile collection of the Department of Ethnography is the largest in the world.5 Traditional societies are highly inventive in terms of technology.6 Many small-scale societies have survived and adapted in spite of predictions to the contrary.Questions 7-12Some of the exhibits at the Department of Ethnography are listed below (Questions 7-12).The writer gives these exhibits as examples of different collection types.Match each exhibit with the collection type with which it is associated in Reading Passage 1.Write the appropriate letters in boxes 7-12 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any collection type more than once.Collection TypesAT A rtefact T ypesEC E volution of C eremonyFA F ield A ssemblagesSE S ocial E xperienceTS T echnical S eriesExample AnswerBoats AT7 Bolivian textiles8 Indian coracles9 airport art10 Arctic kayaks11 necessities of life of an Arabian farmer12 tents from the Middle EastREADING PASSAGE 2You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 13-25 which are based on Reading Passage 2 on the following pages.Questions 13-15Reading Passage 2 has six sections A-F.Choose the most suitable headings for sections A, B and D from the list of headings below.Write the appropriate numbers i-vii in boxes 13-15 on your answer sheet.List of Headingsi Amazonia as unable to sustain complexsocietiesii The role of recent technology in ecologicalresearch in Amazoniaiii The hostility of the indigenous populationto North American influencesiv Recent evidencev Early research among the Indian Amazonsvi The influence of prehistoric inhabitants onAmazonian natural historyvii The great difficulty of changing localattitudes and practices13 Section A14 Section BExample AnswerSection C iv15 Section DSecrets of the ForestA In 1942 Allan R Holmberg, a doctoral student in anthropology from Yale University, USA, ventured deep into the jungle of Bolivian Amazonia and searched out an isolated band of Siriono Indians. The Siriono, Holmberg later wrote, led a "strikingly backward" existence. Their villages were little more than clusters of thatched huts. Life itself was a perpetual and punishing search for food: some families grew manioc and other starchy crops in small garden plots cleared from the forest, while other members of the tribe scoured the country for small game and promising fish holes. When local resources became depleted, the tribe moved on. As for technology, Holmberg noted, the Siriono "may be classified among the most handicapped peoples of the world". Other than bows, arrows and crude digging sticks, the only tools the Siriono seemed to possess were "two machetes worn to the size of pocket-knives".B Although the lives of the Siriono have changed in the intervening decades, the image of them as Stone Age relics has endured. Indeed, in many respects the Siriono epitomize the popular conception of life in Amazonia. To casual observers, as well as to influential natural scientists and regional planners, the luxuriant forests of Amazonia seem ageless, unconquerable,a habitat totally hostile to human civilization. The apparent simplicity of Indian ways of life has been judged an evolutionary adaptation to forest ecology, living proof that Amazonia could not - and cannot - sustain a more complex society. Archaeological traces of far more elaborate cultures have been dismissed as the ruins of invaders from outside the region, abandoned to decay in the uncompromising tropical environment.C The popular conception of Amazonia and its native residents would be enormously consequential if it were true. But the human history of Amazonia in the past 11,000 years betrays that view as myth. Evidence gathered in recent years from anthropology and archaeology indicates that the region has supported a series of indigenous cultures for eleven thousand years; an extensive network of complex societies - some with populations perhaps as large as 100,000 - thrived there for more than 1,000 years before the arrival of Europeans. (Indeed, some contemporary tribes, including the Siriono, still live among the earthworks of earlier cultures.) Far from being evolutionarily retarded, prehistoric Amazonian people developed technologies and cultures that were advanced for their time. If the lives of Indians today seem "primitive", the appearance is not the result of some environmental adaptation or ecological barrier; rather it is a comparatively recent adaptation to centuries of economic and political pressure. Investigators who argue otherwise have unwittingly projected the present onto the past.D The evidence for a revised view of Amazonia will take many people by surprise. Ecologists have assumed that tropical ecosystems were shaped entirely by natural forces and they have focused their research on habitats they believe have escaped human influence. But as the University of Florida ecologist, Peter Feinsinger, has noted, an approac h that leaves people out of the equation is no longer tenable. The archaeological evidence shows that the natural history of Amazonia is to a surprising extent tied to the activities of its prehistoric inhabitants.E The realization comes none too soon. In June 1992 political and environmental leaders from across the world met in Rio de Janeiro to discuss how developing countries can advance their economies without destroying their natural resources. The challenge is especially difficult in Amazonia. Because the tropical forest has been depicted as ecologically unfit forlarge-scale human occupation, some environmentalists have opposed development of any kind. Ironically, one major casualty of that extreme position has been the environment itself. While policy makers struggle to define and implement appropriate legislation, development of the most destructive kind has continued apace over vast areas.F The other major casualty of the "naturalism" of environmental scientists has been the indigenous Amazonians, whose habits of hunting, fishing, and slash-and-burn cultivation often have been represented as harmful to the habitat. In the clash between environmentalists and developers, the Indians, whose presence is in fact crucial to the survival of the forest, have suffered the most. The new understanding of the pre-history of Amazonia, however, points toward a middle ground. Archaeology makes clear that with judicious management selected parts of the region could support more people than anyone thought before. The long-buried past, it seems, offers hope for the future.Questions 16-21Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in Reading Passage 2?In boxes 16-21 on your answer sheet writeYES if the statement agrees with the views of the writerNO if the statement contradicts the views of the writerNOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about thisExample AnswerThe prehistoric inhaditants of NOAmazonia were relatively backward intechnological terms.16 The reason for the simplicity of the Indian way of life is that Amazonia has always been unable to support a more complex society.17 There is a crucial popular misconception about the human history of Amazonia.18 There are lessons to be learned from similar ecosystems in other parts of the world.19 Most ecologists were aware that the areas of Amazonia they were working in had been shaped by human settlement.20 The indigenous Amazonian Indians are necessary to the well-being of the forest.21 It would be possible for certain parts of Amazonia to support a higher population.Questions 22-25Choose the appropriate letters A-D and write them in boxes 22-25 on your answer sheet.22 In 1942 the US anthropology student concluded that the SirionoA were unusually aggressive and cruel.B had had their way of life destroyed by invaders.C were an extremely primitive society.D had only recently made permanent settlements.23 The author believes recent discoveries of the remains of complex societies in AmazoniaA are evidence of early indigenous communities.B are the remains of settlements by invaders.C are the ruins of communities established since the European invasions.D show the region has only relatively recently been covered by forest.24 The assumption that the tropical ecosystem of Amazonia has been created solely by natural forcesA has often been questioned by ecologists in the past.B has been shown to be incorrect by recent research.C was made by Peter Feinsinger and other ecologists.D has led to some fruitful discoveries.25 The application of our new insights into the Amazonian past wouldA warn us against allowing any development at all.B cause further suffering to the Indian communities.C change present policies on development in the region.D reduce the amount of hunting, fishing, and 'slash-and-burn'.READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 26-40 which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.HIGHS & LOWSHormone levels - and hence our moods - may be affected by the weather. Gloomy weather can cause depression, but sun- shine appears to raise the spirits. In Britain, for example, the dull weather of winter drastically cuts down the amount of sunlight that is experienced which strongly affects some people. They become so depressed and lacking in energy that their work and social life are affected. This condition has been given the name SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), Sufferers can fight back by making the most of any sunlight in winter and by spending a few hours each day under special, full-spectrum lamps. These provide more ultraviolet and blue- green light than ordinary fluorescent and tungsten lights. Some Russian scientists claim that children learn better after being exposed to ultraviolet light. In warm countries, hours of work are of ten arranged so that workers can take a break, or even a siesta, during the hottest part of the day. Scientists are working to discover the links between the weather and human beings' moods and performance.It is generally believed that tempers grow shorter in hot, muggy weather. There is no doubt that 'crimes against the person' rise in the summer, when the weather is hotter and fall in the winter when the weather is colder. Research in the United States has shown a relation- ship between temperature and street riots. The frequency of riots rises dramatically as the weather gets warmer, hitting a peak around 27-30~C. But is this effect really due to a mood change caused by the heat? Some scientists argue that trouble starts more Often in hot weather merely because there are more people in the street when the weather is good.Psychologists have also studied how being cold affects performance. Re- searchers compared divers working in icy cold water at 5~C with others in water at 20~C (about swimming pool temperature). The colder water made the divers worse at simple arithmetic and other mental tasks. But significantly, their performance was impaired as soon as they were put into the cold water - before their bodies had time to cool down. This suggests that the low temperature did not slow down mental functioning directly, but the feeling of cold distracted the divers from their tasks.Psychologists have conducted studies showing that people become less secptical and more optimistic when the weather is sunny. However, this apparently does not just depend on the temperature. An American psychologist studied customers in a temperature- controlled restaurant. They gave bigger tips when the sun was shining and smaller tips when it wasn't, even though the temperature in the restaurant was the same. Alink between weather and mood is made believable by the evidence for a connection between behaviour and the length of the daylight hours. This in turn might involve the level of a hormone called melatonin, produced in the pineal gland in the brain. The amount of melatonin falls with greater exposure to daylight. Research shows that melatonin plays an important part in the seasonal behaviour of certain animals. For example, food consumption of stags increases during the winter, reaching a peak in February/ March. It falls again to a low point in May, then rises to a peak in September, before dropping to another minimum in November. These changes seem to be triggered by varying melatonin levels.In the laboratory, hamsters put on more weight when the nights are getting shorter and their melatonin levels are falling. On the other hand, if they are given injections of melatonin, they will stop eating altogether. It seems that time cues provided by the changing lengths of day and night trigger changes in animals' behaviour - changes that are needed to cope with the cycle of the seasons. People's moods too, have been shown to react to the length of the day- light hours. Sceptics might say that longer exposure to sunshine puts people in a better mood because they associate it with the happy feelings of holidays and freedom from responsibility, However, the belief that rain and murky weather make people more unhappy is borne out by a study in Belgium, which showed that a telephone counselling service gets more telephone calls from people with suicidal feelings when it rains.When there is a thunderstorm brewing, some people complain of the air being 'heavy' and of feeling irritable, moody and on edge. They may be reacting to the fact that the air can become slightly positively c harged when large thunderclouds are generating the intense electrical fields that cause lightning flashes. The positive charge increases the levels of serotonin (a chemical involved in sending signals in the nervous system). High levels of serotonin in certain areas of the nervous system make people more active and reactive and, possibly, more aggressive. When certain winds are blowing, such as the Mistral in southern France and the Fshn in southern Germany, mood can be affected - and the number of traffic accidents rises. It may be significant that the concentration of positively charged particles is greater than normal in these winds. In the United Kingdom, 400,000 ionizers are sold every year. These small machines raise the number of negative ions in the air in a room. Many people claim they feel better in negatively charged air.Questions 26-28Choose the appropriate letters A-D and write them in boxes 26-28 on your answer sheet.26 Why did the divers perform less well in colder conditions?A They were less able to concentrate.B Their body temperature fell too quickly.C Their mental functions were immediately affected by the cold.D They were used to swimming pool conditions.27 The number of daylight hoursA affects the performance of workers in restaurants.B influences animal feeding habits.C makes animals like hamsters more active.D prepares humans for having greater leisure time.28 Human irritability may be influenced byA how nervous and aggressive people are.B reaction to certain weather phenomena.C the number of ions being generated by machines.D the attitude of people to thunderstorms.Questions 29-34Do the following statements agree with the information in Reading Passage 3?In boxes 29-34 on your answer sheet writeTRUE if the statement is true according to the passageFALSE if the statement is false according to the passageNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage29 Seasonal Affective Disorder is disrupting children's education in Russia.30 Serotonin is an essential cause of human aggression.31 Scientific evidence links 'happy associations with weather' to human mood.32 A link between depression and the time of year has been established.33 Melatonin levels increase at certain times of the year.34 Positively charged ions can influence eating habits.Questions 35-37According to the text which THREE of the following conditions have been scientifically proved to have a psychological effect on humans?Choose THREE letters A-G and write them in boxes 35-37 on your answer sheet,A lack of negative ionsB rainy weatherC food consumptionD high serotonin levelsE sunny weatherF freedom from worryG lack of counselling facilitiesQuestions 38-40Complete each of the following statements with the best ending from the box below.Write the appropriate letters A-G in boxes 38-40 on your answer sheet.38 It has been established that social tension increases significantly in the United States I during ...39 Research has shown that a hamster's bodyweight increases according to its exposure to...40 Animals cope with changing weather and food availability because they are influenced by...A daylightB hot weatherC melatoninD moderate temperaturesE poor co-ordinationF time cuesG impaired performanceWritingWRITING TASK1You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The charts below show the levels of participation in education and science in developing and industrialised countries in 1980 and 1990.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.You should write at least 150 words._________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________。

ReadingTask 1The Man behind Blue JeansLevi Strauss was born in 1829 in Bavaria, Germany. He was the fifth of six children. His father sold dry goods from door to door. (Dry goods include many different things: fabric, thread, scissors, combs, buttons, yarn, etc.)In 1845, his father died. All six children decided to go to the United States. Two of Strauss‟ bothers started a dry goods company in New Y ork City. Strauss‟ sister Fanny and her husband started a similar business in San Francisco. Strauss decided to go to the southeastern part of the United States. For eight years, he walked along the country roads selling dry goods from door to door -- just like his father in Bavaria.In 1853, Strauss decided to move to San Francisco. (At that time, thousands of people traveled to California to look for gold.) On the way to California, Strauss sold almost all of his dry goods. He had only one thing left -- some canvas.In California, Strauss tried to sell the canvas to the gold miners. He said they could make tents from the canvas. But they weren‟t interested in canvas for tents. Strauss didn‟t know what to do with the canvas. Then, he had an idea. Strauss could see that the miners needed new pants. There were holes in their pants because the fabric wasn‟t strong. He decided to make the canvas into pants. They called them “Levi‟s”. Later, Strauss stopped using canvas and used a different fabric. It was a heavy cotton fabric -- the same kind people wear today.Levi Strauss died in 1902. He never married and left his money to his nephews. He left the world much more -- the jeans that so many people wear.(41) ________ isn…t a kind of dry goods. A. Thread B. Gold C. Comb D. Y arn(42) What is canvas?A. Tent.B. Pants.C. A very strong fabric.D. A thing which is used to make all kinds of trousers.(43) Why did the miners call the pants “Levi‟s”?A. Because the pants belonged to Levi Strauss‟ father.B. In memory of Levi Strauss‟ father.C. It…s the name of Levi‟ Strau ss‟ nephew.D. Because the pants are Levi‟s invention.(44) Choose the right order of these happenings.a.

He had five children.D. He died in 1902.Task 2A wareness Weeks have become a regular part of Britain‟s cultural landscape over the past few years. They started back in 1957, when one charity, Christian Aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause.They were right, and soon other charities and campaign groups followed them. These days, most donations to charity are not collected on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time “raising awareness” -- spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support. They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use awareness weeks as marketing campaigns for their products.There are now 500 awareness weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with most held in May or October.The danger with all these awareness weeks is that people start to become cynical. Take National Smile Week, it seems like a great idea. Let‟s all make each other‟s life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. But really it‟s just a group of den tists and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. It‟s enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week.“People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises,” says Ms Ormiston, who edits the A wareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encourages people who run A wareness Weeks to become more aware of each other. “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”“There‟s still no official group for awareness campaigns,” says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets or their public relations machines allows.”This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation charity campaigns.But there is another way. Maybe it‟s time for National Weak A wareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of A wareness Weeks is weak.(46) What‟s the main purpose of awareness weeks run by charities in Britain?A．To raise money for charities. B．To spread knowledge of charities.C．To take up marketing campaigns. D．To advertise their goods for sale.(47) Why do people start to become cynical about awareness weeks?A．Too many awareness weeks make people feel bored.B．People feel many awareness weeks are just for marketing exercises.C．People have a weak awareness of awareness weeks.D．A wareness weeks are held too often and too much money is raised.(48) What does Ms Ormiston think about awareness weeks?A．Most of the awareness weeks should not be for making money.B．Official groups should take the place of charities in awareness campaigns.C．People can do what they like in awareness weeks.D．People can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns.(49) Which of the following is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns?A．Laws should stop awareness weeks run by real charities.B．There should be large public relations departments in awareness campaigns.C．Business and awareness campaigns should not be held at the same place.D．Marketing campaigns should not be in the name of charity ones.(50) What‟s the writer‟s view on A wareness Weeks?A．National Forget About It Week should be held to stop awareness weeks.B．National Smile Week is a great idea to improve people‟s life.C．National Weak A wareness Week can help people better understand awareness weeks.D．A wareness Weeks should be stopped because of marketing campaigns.Ⅳ.

Although it is late in the school year; you should take action by reassuring your son that he did nothing to bring this on and that you will help him. Many parents; unfortunately; think that bullying and being bullied are rites of passage; something all kids endure at some point in their lives just like suffering through boring assemblies and bad cafeteria food. But bullying is not; and should not be; considered a normal part of growing up.Studies done in Norway show that bullying is most common in the younger age groups but is still present even in the mid –teens. The percent of children who are bullied ranges from 17% in the second grade to about 5% in the ninth grade. A recent survey in the United States shows that 10% of children reported being bullied; 13% reported being a bully; and 6% reported being both bullied and being the bully. This survey was limited to sixth through tenth graders. What is bullyingBullying involves intentional and repeated actions and words designed to intimidate or hurt another person. There is usually an imbalance of power; either physical or psychological; between the perpetrator and his or her victim. Occasional name calling and shoving are not considered bullying because they are usually not repetitive events. On the other hand; if a child is on the receiving end of aunts and name calling by any persons regularly; then that is considered bullying. Physical aggression; social alienation; verbal aggression; and intimidation are the four main categories of bullying.Many parents are shocked when they find out their child has been the victim of a bully; and a few parents are shocked to find out that their child has been a bully .Victims tend to be more passive; anxious; and insecure than non-victims and to have more negative views of themselves. A small percentage of victims are termed“provocative”because they are both anxious and aggressive; often seeking the attention of the perpetrator.The bullies; by comparison; tend to be aggressive children and frequently lack empathy for others. Bullies usually have a positive self-image and a desire to be in control. The bully cherishes power. The cherished myth of the bully as a loner with a poor self-image seeking to bolster his own self-worth by attacking others didn’t hold up to scrutiny of scientific study. Of course; there will always be victims and perpetrators who do not fit these profilesAny child can be a bully; and any child can be bullied if the circumstances are right.Although bullying is common; studies report that only half the children report what is happening to a parent; and even fewer to a teacher. Few adults witness the acts of the bully because most aggression occurs at school and places where there is little oversight by an adult. The playground; cafeteria; and rest rooms are common locations for the perpetrator to act.Children who are victims may develop a variety of vague health complaints to avoid going to school or wherever the bullying is taking place. Sometimes this kind of school avoidance behavior can be a red flag for parents; so ask your child if he or she is being picked on and bullied.What go do about bullyingIf your child reveals to you that he or she is being bullied; take action. Parents can help the child by teaching him how to demonstrate an air of self-confidence by making good eye contact; speaking clearly and loudly enough to be heard. Remind the child to walk away from the encounter; tell the bully firmly that he is in the wrong; and to tell a teacher; parent or other adult what is happening.Parents of bullies should also intervene to stop the behavior and make it clear that bullying will not be tolerated or ignored. One study showed that 60% of boys who were identified as bullies in grades six through nine had at least one criminal conviction by age 24 years; between 35%and 40% of these children had three or more criminal convictions by that same age. Psychological counseling is often helpful and may identify the underlying problems such as depression or conduct disorder.There are many resources for parents and teachers. There are a number of good books such as Tackling Bullying in Your School: A Practical Handbook for Teachers by Sharp and Smith as well as Bully Proofing Your School by Garrity; Jens and Porter.Questions1-4Based on your reading of the text; complete the sentences below with words taken from the passage.

Sturgeon displayed its power by lifting nine pounds with a seven-ounce piece of iron wrapped with wires through which the current of a single cell battery was sent.In 1830; an American; Joseph Henry 1797-1878; demonstrated the potential of Sturgeon’s device for long-distance communication by sending an electronic current over one mile of wire to activate an electromagnet which caused a bell to strike. Thus the electric telegraph was born. Samuel F. B. Morse 1797-1872; whose sketches of a “magnetized magnet”in operation are shown here; successfully exploited Henry’s invention commercially.While a professor of arts and design at New York University in 1835; Samuel Morse proved that signals could be transmitted by wire. He used pulses of current to deflect an electromagnet; which moved a marker to produce written codes on a strip of paper---the invention of Morse Code. The following year; the device was modified to emboss the paper with dots and dashes. He gave a public demonstration in 1838; but it was not until five years later that Congress reflecting public apathy funded $30;000 to construct an experimental telegraph line from Washington to Baltimore; a distance of 40 miles.Six years later; members of Congress witnessed the sending and receiving of messages over part of the telegraph line. Before the line had reached Baltimore; the Whig party held its national convention there; and on May 1; 1844; nominated Henry Clay. This news was hand-carried to Annapolis Junction between Washington and Baltimore where Morse’s partner; Alfred Vail; wired it to the Capitol. This was the firs news dispatched by electric telegraph.The message;“What hath God wrought”sent later by “Morse Code”from the old Supreme Court chamber in the United States Capitol to his partner in Baltimore; officially opened the completed line of May 24;1844. Morse allowed Annie Ellsworth; the young daughter of a friend; to choose the words of the message; and she selected a verse from Numbers XXIII; 23:“What hath God wrought” which was recorded onto paper tape. Morse’s early system produced a paper copy with raised dots and dashes; which were translated later by and operator; Painting: Self Portrait by Samuel Morse -- Inventor of the TelegraphSamuel Morse and his associates obtained private funds to extend their line to Philadelphia and New York .Small telegraph companies; meanwhile began functioning in the East; South; and Midwest. Dispatching trains by telegraph started in 1851; the same year Western Union began business. Western Union built its first transcontinental telegraph line in 1861; mainly along rights-of-way. In 1881; the Postal Telegraph System entered the field for economic reasons; and merged with Western Union in 1943.The original Morse telegraph printed code on tape. However; in the United States the operation developed into sending by key and receiving by ear. A trained Morse operator could transmit 40 to 50 words per minute. Automatic transmission; introduced in 1914; handled more than twice that number.In 1913 Western Union developed multiplexing; which made it possible to transmit eight messages simultaneously over a single wire four in each direction Teleprinter machines came into use about 1925. Varioplex; introduced in 1936; enabled a single wire to carry 72 transmissions at the same time 36 in each direction. Two years later Western Union introduced the first of its automatic facsimile devices. In 1959 Western Union inaugurated TELEX which enables subscribers to the teleprinter service to dial each other directly. Until 1877; all rapid long-distance communication depended upon the telegraph. That year; a rival technology developed that would again change the face of communication ----the telephone. By 1879; patent litigation between Western Union and the infant telephone system was ended in an agreement that largely separated the two services.Samuel Morse is best known as the inventor of the telegraph; but he is also esteemed for his contributions to American portraiture. His painting is characterized by delicate technique and vigorous honesty and insight into the character of his subjects.Questions 13-20Complete the table below using the in formation in Reading Passage .

Recent research in Asia, Africaand Latin America suggests the concept of intelligence differs from culture to culture.This research has shown that people in non-Western cultures often have ideas about intelligence that differ fundamentally from those in Western cultures. The studies show that peopl e in Western cultures tend to see intelligence in terms of one’s ability to solve problems engage in rational debate. Meanwhil e, Eastern cultures see intelligence in terms of people’s ability to successfully play their roles within social hierarchies both at home and at work.Researchers at the National Chi-Nan University in Taiwan found that Chinese id eas of intelligence emphasize understanding and relating to others, including knowing when to show and when not to show one’s intelligence.In a study conducted in San Jose, California, immigrant parents from Cambodia, Mexico, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as native-born Anglo-Americans and Mexican-Americans, were asked what they saw as important in the devel opment of their children’s intelligence. Parents from all groups – except Anglo-Americans – indicated that motivation and social skills were as important as, or more important than, academic skills in the devel opment of their children.Another study shows major differences in how much importance is given to verbal and non-verbal communication skills. Western cultures seem to value more highly the ability to say things clearly, whereas non-Western cultures seem to value the use and understanding of gestures and facial expressions. Intelligence expert David Lazear says that in the Western worl d we tend to think that the most important thing about being smart is to have skills in reading, writing and mathematics. ‘However, many Asian cultures place at least equal value on the devel opment of one’s interpersonal skills. These includ e being an effective team member, or the ability to create agreement within a group of people.Many Asian cultures also highly rate the development of a person’s introspective abilities. This is the ability to “go inside” and acquire knowledge about yourself and then to be able to act on this increased self-knowledge. When I lived and worked in Africa, I found great importance given to such things as dance, music, art and drama as ways to express the deep wisd om of the culture and to reinforce key personal and social values.All the intelligences were valued, but somehow capacity in these areas was seen as special and even more profound.’Complete the summary below with ONLY ONE WORD from the passage.The notion of intelligence varies significantly from one culture to another. In Western cultures, a person’s intelligence is shown in his or her skills in seeking answers and participating in 26________________ discussions. However, Eastern cultures emphasize a person’s capability to undertake their 27________________ rol es within a ranking system.One research has shown that most immigrant families regard 28________________ and interpersonal skills as more crucial than learning skills in their kids’personal development. In another study, many non-Western cultures are found to place a lot of importance on utilizing 29________________ communication techniques such as gestures and facial expressions. Moreover, many Asian cultures think very highly of a person’s 30 ________________ ability, which means getting to know more about oneself.Part 4 Writing✠Put the following sentences into the correct order to form a coherent paragraph.A With the arrival of rock and pop in the second half of the last century, theprotest song became more and more popular as artists discovered they couldget their message across immediately to a wide audience.B Music proved an extremely effective way of getting people to think andchallenge political d ecisions.C Music has always been used to express all the different human feelings, fromlove and happiness, to sadness and anger.D One of the most famous exampl es of this was the importance of music in the1960s counterculture movement –a movement which played an enormouspart in events such as getting American soldiers out of Vietnam and fighting forthe civil rights of African-Americans.E It is generally agreed that music as a form of protest probably originated in thecotton fields of America, with African slaves singing songs of freedom.The correct order of the above five sentences should be:31________32________33________34________35________✠For each of the items below, choose the most suitable sentence that makessense to you.36 A Until you l earn to relax, you won’t improve your ability to speak English.B Until you relax to l earn, you aren’t improving your ability to speak English.C Until you l earn to relax, you haven’t improved your ability to speak English.D Until you relax more and l earn harder, you don’t improve your ability to speakEnglish.37 A Under the law, drivers and all passengers are permitted to wear seat belts whilea vehicl e is moving.B Under the law, while some drivers are encouraged to wear seat belts, otherpassengers might not d o so unless the vehicl e is moving.C Under the law, both drivers and all passengers are warned to wear seat belts nomatter whether the vehicl e is moving or not.D Under the law, drivers and all passengers are required to wear seat belts whil ein a moving vehicle.38 A The fact that he lacks interest in academic learning indicates his frequentabsence from class.B The fact that he is frequently absent from class indicates his lack of interest inacademic learning.C It is a fact that he is frequently absent from class; as a result, he is notinteresting in academic learning.D It is the fact that his frequent absence from class resulting from his lack ofinterest in academic l earning.39 A Some peopl e protest certain commercial fishing operations, consideringdolphins to be highly intelligent mammals, since they are killed unnecessarily.B Even though some people protest certain commercial fishing operations, theyconsider the highly intelligent mammals – d olphins – to be killed unnecessarily.C Some peopl e protest certain commercial fishing operations because dolphins,considered to be highly intelligent mammals, are kill ed unnecessarily.D Regardl ess of how some peopl e protest certain commercial fishing operations,dolphins are consid ered highly intelligent mammals to be killed unnecessarily.40 A The researchers are doing case studies of people that their family history hashigh blood pressure and heart disease to determine how important is heredityin health and l ongevity.B The researchers are doing case studies of people whose families have a historyof high blood pressure and heart disease to determine the importance ofheredity in health and longevity.C The researchers are doing case studies of peopl e’s family history whether ornot there is high blood pressure and heart disease to determine heredity is really important in health and longevity.D The researchers are d oing case studies of family history in peopl e who havehigh blood pressure and heart disease to determine the important heredity in their health and l ongevity.。

Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about three billion people by then. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% larger than Brazi l) wi l l be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming methods continue as they are practised today.At present, throughout the wor ld, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use. Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices. What can be done to ensure enough food for the world’s population to live onThe concept of indoor farming is not new, since hothouse production of tomatoes and other produce has been in vogue for some time. What is new is the urgent need to scale up this technology to accommodate another three bi l lion people. Many believe an entirely new approach to indoor farming is required, employing cutting-edge technologies. One such proposal is for the ‘Vertical Farm’.The concept is of multi-storey buildings in which food crops are grown in environmentally controlled conditions. Situated in the heart of urban centres,they would drastically reduce the amount of transportation required to br ing food to consumers. Vertical farms wou ld need to be efficient,cheap to construct and safe to operate.If successfully implemented, proponents claim, vertical farms offer the promise of urban renewal, sustainable production of a safe and varied food supply (throughyear-round production of all crops), and the eventual repair of ecosystems that have been sacrificed for horizontal farming.It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow most of the crops we now take for granted. Along the way, we despoiled most of the land we worked, often turning verdant, natural ecozones into semi-arid deserts. Within that same time frame, we evolved into an urban species, in which 60% of the human population now lives vertically in cities. This means that, for the majority, we humans have shelter from the elements, yet we subject our food-bearing plants to the rigours of the great outdoors and can do no more than hope for a good weather year. However, more often than not now, due to a rapidly changing climate, that is not what happens. Massive floods, long droughts, hurricanes and severe monsoons take their toll each year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops.The supporters of vertical farming claim many potential advantages for the system. For instance, crops would be produced all year round, as they would be kept in artificially controlled,optimum growing conditions. There would be no weather-related crop fai lures due to droughts, floods or pests. Al l the food could be grown organical ly, eliminating the need for herbicides, pesticides and ferti l isers. The system wou ld great ly reduce the incidence of many infectious diseases that are acquired at the agr icu ltural interface. Although the system wou ld consume energy, it would return energy to the grid via methane generation from composting nonedible parts of plants. It would also dramatically reduce fossil fuel use, by cutting out the need for tractors, ploughs and shipping.A major drawback of vertical farming, however, is that the plants would require artificial light. Without it, those plants nearest the windowswould be exposed to more sunlight and grow more quickly, reducing the efficiency of the system. Singlestorey greenhouses have the benefit ofnatural overhead light: even so, many still need artificial lighting.A multi-storey facility with no natural overhead light would require far more. Generating enough light could be prohibitively expensive, unless cheap, renewable energy is available, and this appears to be rather a future aspiration than a likelihood for the near future.One variation on vertical farming that has been developed is to grow plants in stacked trays that move on rai ls. Moving the trays al lows the plants to get enough sunlight. This system is already in operation, and works well within a single-storey greenhouse with light reaching it from above: it is not certain, however,that it can be made to work without that overhead natural light.Vertical farming is an attempt to address the undoubted problems that we face in producing enough food for a growing population. At the moment, though, more needs to be done to reduce the detrimental impact it would have on the environment, particularly as regards the use of energy. While it is possible that much of our food will be grown in skyscrapers in future, most experts current ly believe it is far more likely that we wi l l simply use the space available on urban rooftops.Indoor farmingComplete the sentences below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Indoor farming1.

His death led his father to lobby for laws to be passed to improve how schools address bullying and suicide prevention and his tragedy uncovered the devastation wrought by cyber-bullying.With development in technology, cyber bullying has become more and more prevalent. And it also brings about increasing challenges for parents and educators. This bullying in the digital age affects millions of children throughout the world each year.A.Cyber-bullying, a term only coined when Internet became more accessible and affordable for people, take various different forms from physical bullying, including sending threatening messages, displaying private messages and posting embarrassing video and photos online. “It’s school-yard bullying taken to the next level,” says Justin Patchin, a criminologist at the University of Wisconsin. Nearly three in four teens say they were bullied online at least once during a recent 12-month period, and only one in 10 reported cyber-bullying to parents or other adults, according to Jaana Juvonen, leader of a study in University of California. Another study by UK-based internet market research firm YouGov in 2006 found that cyber-bullying is even worse than physical bullying.B.Research into the causes and effects of cyber-bullying is still in its infancy. But it is becoming clear that nature of online communication determines exactly how severe the problem is. An unreal online environment encourages people to act aggressively, prompting them to do things they wouldn’t dare to try in real life. What’s more, the ability to reach more people, and the always-on culture of the internet, means that cyber-bullying can have an even more detrimental effect on the victim than conventional playground bullying.What theatens people is the sheer number of people who can view something hat is posed online. “Girls send their boyfriends photos of themselves and then hey get dumped and every boy within he year 12 groups has a copy,”says Susan Mclean, Senior Constable from Victoria Police in Australia, “they don’understand that their words or images intended for a small audience can find an audience of millions.” It would be bad enough o be cyber-bullied by one kid and nobody else knew about it, but a video seen by hundreds or thousands of peers could be devastating.Another point is the high probability of being bullied online. “When I was a kid, playground bullying stopped when the bell rang and you went back inside or when you went home at the end of the day,” says John Carr, chair of the Children’s Charities’ Coalition for Internet Safety in London.” But with cyber-bullying, it is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There is no escape.” While an adult could simply turn off the computer, that’s not really an option for today’s teen, who are dependent on the internet for communicating with heir peers. A 2007 Pew study found that 93 percent of Us teens use the internet and 61 percent go online daily.C.Anonymity can also amplify bullying’s negative effects on the victim. “The psychological ramifications of not knowing who’s attacking you can be maddening,”says Robin Kowalski, a psychologist at Clemson University in South Carolina.”The bully could be your best friend, a sibling, or half the school.” In a recent, as yet unpublished survey she carried out, nearly half of the children she interviewed didn’t know who their cyber-bully was.The lack of face-to face contact migh also tempt bullies to new levels of cruelty. On the playground, seeing the stress and pain of the victim face-to-face can act as an inhibitor to some degree; however, in cyberspace, where there is no visual contact, online offenders tend to go extreme. Kowalski claims the effect is unique to computer-mediated communication. “There is a distancing of the self and immediacy in response that we don’t have in any other form of communication,” she says.” On the computer, it’s like it’s not really you.”D.So what can be done” Led by Ruth Aylet of Herio-Watt University in Edinburh, Uk, a consortium of European researchers recently developed a role-playing software called FearNot!, which aims to get children to empathise with a victim of bullying and feel in sympathy during the process. After watching a short animation of a child being bulled either in the playground or online, the viewer is asked to help the victim by typing advice into the computer. The software will be tested in schools in the Uk and Germany later this year.Meanwhile, some governments have taken legislative actions. In January 2006, the US Congress passed a law making it a federal crime to” annoy, abuse, theaten or harass” another person over the internet. Approximately 36 states have enacted similar legislation. And in South Korea, the”internet real-name system”’ introduced last month, forces online portals and news websites to record the identities of people who post content and to disclose their contact details if someone wants to sue them for libel or infringement of privacy.However, it can be difficult to persuade people to take these laws seriously, and in the Us They only apply to over-18s. “Many jurisdictions don’t want o investigate or prosecute these cases,”says A1 Kush of Wired , an internet safety advocacy group based in Seattle, Washington. “They are short-staffed and busy pursuing what hey call “real crime.”However, it can be difficult to persuade people to take these laws seriously, and in the US they only apply to over-18s. “Many jurisdictions don’t want to investigate or prosecute these cases,”says A1 Kush of , an internet safety advocacy group based in Seattle, Washington. “They are short-staffed and busy pursuing what they call real crime.”Questions 5-8Look at the following statements and he list of people below.Match each statement with the correct person.Write the correct letter A-F in boxes 5-8 on your answer sheet.5.The probability of cyber-bullying was higher than that of schoolyard bullying.
