Part 3: The passage below contains 6 errors in spelling, grammar, word form. For questions 44-49, find
the errors and write the corrections in the corresponding numbered boxes in your answer sheet. There is
an example at the beginning (0). RAINFOREST CONCERN
Line The world’s rainforests represent a vast knowledge and hold potentially for the discovery of new
medicines and foods. There is no doubt that large-scale deforestion alters the climate-intensifying
droughts in the dry season and floods in the rainy season. This results in fewer animals and plant
species, soil erosive, an unreliable water supply and poorer health for the local people. By joining 5
Rainforest Concern and sponsoring acres of threatening rainforest for the Choco- Andrea
Rainforest Corridor in Ecuador, you’ll be protecting one of the world’s most important ecological areas.
Within these forests lives an amazingly high number of seriously endangered species of animals, 9
birds and plants. You will also be helping to secure the survivors and the culture of the Awa and Cayapas
ingenious people, who still live in harmony with their environment.
Example: 0.line 1: potentially potential

questioned and not followed in (57)______ subservience. Guinness has frequently defended his privacy.
He has also complained that some of his contemporaries have become, in later life, ‘unexpectedly and
brutally frank’. There is surely only one way to safeguard one’s private life, and that is not to become a
public figure. Paul Schofield, another great actor, has done just this, truly (58)_____

The rules of British class are opaque, and a foreigner is never certain when they (64) _________ into play.
Americans tend to simplify class in Britain as a contrast between the sophisticated aristocracy and the
toiling masses. Much of what Americans still glimpse or read about class in Britain (65) _________this
passing impression of separate classes with little in between. But British class these days is a more elusive

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities
(78) ____________. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by
intermittently touching its stinger to the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone—a
mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no (79) ____________.
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from
members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail
pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators (80) ___________ calculated
that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this
signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration
of vapor right over the trail, (81) ___________. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left,
(82) ___________, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to
the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, (83)
___________. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail.

B, C or D) in the corresponding numbered boxes.
British further education colleges did not traditionally have any concerns about student drop-out,
because the origins of the sector were in vocational apprenticeship training for employers where the
apprentices could not drop out without endangering their job. In the 70s, this sector began to expand into
more general education courses, which were seen both as an alternative to school for 16-18 year-olds and a
second chance for adults. The philosophy was mainly liberal with students regarded as adults who should
not be heavily monitored, but rather free to make their own decisions; it was not uncommon to hear
academic staff argue that attendance at classes was purely voluntary.
In the 80s, with an increased consciousness of equal opportunities, the focus of the further
education colleges moved to widening participation, encouraging into colleges students from previously
under-represented groups, particularly from ethnic minorities. This, in turn, led to a curriculum which was
more representative of the new student body. For example, there were initiatives to ensure the
incorporation of literature by black writers into A-level literature courses; history syllabuses were altered
to move beyond a purely Eurocentric view of the world; and geography syllabuses began to look at the politics of maps.
A turning point came in 1991 with the publication of a report on completion rates by the
government inspection body for education, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate for England and Wales, (HMI
1991). However, this report was based on academic staff’s explanations of why students had left. It
suggested that the vast majority left either for personal reasons or because they had found employment and
that only 10% left for reasons that could, in any way, be attributed to the college.
Meanwhile, Britain had been going through the Thatcherite revolution and, in parallel to the
Reagan politics of the US, a key principle was the need to reduce taxation drastically. At this point (and to
a large extent still), further and higher education colleges were almost entirely funded from the public
purse. There had been many cuts in this funding through the 80s, but no one had really looked at value for
money. However, in the early 90s, the Audit Commission with Office of Standards in Education
High School for Gifted Students, HNUE Page 7/12
Selection Test for National English Competition 2015 No. 2
(OFSTED) (the new version of HMI) turned the spotlight onto further education and published a seminal
report, Unfinished Business (Audit Commission and OFSTED 1993), which showed that drop-out was
happening on a significant scale and, crucially given the politics of the time, attributed a cost to the state of
£500 million, arguing that this was a waste of public (i.e. taxpayers’) money. To quote Yorke (1999), non-
completion became political. The Audit Commission report coincided with government moves to privatise
the functions of the state as much as possible; and with the decision to remove further education from the
control of local government and give it a quasi-dependent status, where colleges were governed by
independent boards of governors bidding to the state for funding to run educational provision. As part of
this, a new series of principles for funding and bidding were developed (FEFC 1994) which incorporated
severe financial penalties for student drop-out. In essence, the system is that almost all the state funding is
attached to the individual student. There is funding for initial advice and guidance, on-course delivery and
student achievement, but if the student drops out, the college loses that funding immediately, so that loss of
students in the first term leads to an immediate loss of college funding for the other two terms. Not
surprisingly, this focused the concern of colleges immediately and sharply on the need to improve student retention rates.
Recently, therefore, there has been considerable effort to improve retention but, as Martinez (1995)
pointed out, there was no body of research on which to base strategies. An additional complexity was that
colleges had been slow to computerise their student data and most colleges were in the position of not
knowing what their retention rates were or any patterns involved. Where data did exist it was held
separately by either administrative or academic staff with poor communication between these groups.
Colleges, however, jumped into a number of strategies based largely on experience, instinct and common
sense and publication of these began. (Martinez 1996; Martinez 1997; Kenwright 1996; Kenwright 1997)
The main strategies tried are outlined in the literature as summarised by Martinez (1996). These
include sorting activities around entry to ensure “best fit”, supporting activities including child care,
financial support and enrichment/learner support, connecting activities to strengthen the relationship
between the college and the student, including mentoring and tutorials and activities to transform the
student, including raising of expectations and study/career development support and tutoring.

Part 5. Read the following extract and answer questions 94-105. LEISURE TIME
A. A raft of forecasts has been made in recent decades, predicting the decline in the number of working
hours coupled with a consequent increase in leisure time. It was estimated that the leisure revolution would
High School for Gifted Students, HNUE Page 9/12
Selection Test for National English Competition 2015 No. 2
take place by the turn of the last century with hours devoted to work falling to 25-30 per week. This
reduction has failed to materialize, but the revolution has, nonetheless, arrived.
B. Over the past 30 to 40 years, spending on leisure has witnessed a strong increase. According to the
annual family expenditure survey published in 1999 by the Office for National Statistics, the average
household in the United Kingdom spent more on leisure than food, housing and transport for the very first
time. And the trend is also set to continue upwards well into the present century.
C. The survey, based on a sample of 6,500 households showed, that the days are long gone when the
average family struggled to buy basic foods. As recently as 1960, family spending on food was
approximately one third compared to 17% now. Twelve years later, there was a noticeable shift towards
leisure with the percentage of household spending on leisure increasing to 9%, and that on food declining to 26%.
D. The average household income in the UK in 1999 was £460 per week before tax, and average spending
was £352.20. Of the latter sum, £59.70 was spent on leisure and £58.90 on food. On holidays alone, family
expenditure was 6%, while in 1969 the proportion spent on holidays was just 2%. And whereas the richest
10% lashed out 20% of their income in 1999 on leisure, the poorest spent 12%.
E. Among the professional and managerial classes, working hours have increased and, overall in the
economy, record numbers of people are in employment. As people work more, the appetite for leisure
activities has grown to compensate for the greater stress in life. The past 5 years alone have seen the leisure
business expand by 25% with a change in emphasis to short domestic weekend breaks, and long-haul short
breaks to exotic destinations in place of long holidays. In the future, it is expected that people will jump
from one leisure activity to another in complexes catering for everyone's needs with gyms, cinemas, cafes,
restaurants, bars and internet facilities all under one roof. The leisure complexes of today will expand to
house all the leisure facilities required for the leisure age.
F. Other factors fueling demand for leisure activities are rising prosperity, increasing longevity and a more
active elderly population. Hence, at the forefront of leisure spending are not just the young or the
professional classes. The 1999 family expenditure survey showed that the 64 to 75 year-old group spend a
higher proportion of their income on leisure than any other age group. The strength of the “grey pound”
now means that elderly people are able to command more respect and, thus, attention in the leisure market.
G. And the future? It is anticipated that, in the years to come, leisure spending will account for between a
third to a half of all household spending. Whilst it is difficult to give exact figures, the leisure industry will
certainly experience a long period of sustained growth. Working hours are not expected to decrease, partly
because the 24-hour society will need to be serviced; and secondly, because more people will be needed to
keep the service/ leisure industries running.
H. In the coming decades, the pace of change will accelerate, generating greater wealth at a faster rate than
even before. Surveys show that this is already happening in many parts of Europe. The south-east of
England, for example, is now supposedly the richest area in the EEC. The “leisure pound” is one of the
High School for Gifted Students, HNUE Page 10/12
Selection Test for National English Competition 2015 No. 2
driving forces behind this surge. But, sadly, it does not look as if we will have the long leisure hours that we had all been promised.
