Part 3 (15 points). Read the text and do the tasks that follow.
TERROR IN THE MOUNTAINS
A What is incredibly beautiful yet absolutely terrifying and deadly at the same time? For anyone above
the snowline in the mountains, there is little doubt about the answer. Avalanche – the word strikes fear
into the heart of any avid skier or climber. For those unfortunate enough to be caught up in one, there is
virtually no warning or time to get out of danger and even less chance of being found. The ‘destroyer’ of
the mountains, avalanches can uproot trees, crush whole buildings, and bury people metres deep under
solidified snow. Around the world, as more and more people head to the mountains in winter, there are
hundreds of avalanche fatalities every year.
B A snow avalanche is a sudden and extremely fast-moving ‘river’ of snow which races down a
mountainside (there can also be avalanches of rocks, boulders, mud, or sand). There are four main kinds.
Loose snow avalanches, or sluffs, form on very steep slopes. These usually have a ‘teardrop’ shape,
starting from a point and widening as they collect more snow on the way down. Slab avalanches, which
are responsible for about 90% of avalanche-related deaths, occur when a stiff layer of snow fractures or
breaks off and slides downhill at incredible speed. This layer may be hundreds of metres wide and
several metres thick. As it tends to compact and set like concrete once it stops, it is extremely dangerous
for anyone buried in the flow. The third type is an isothermal avalanche, which results from heavy rain
leading to the snowpack becoming saturated with water. In the fourth type, air mixes in with loose snow
as the avalanche slides, creating a powder cloud. These powder snow avalanches can be the largest of
all, moving at over 300kmh, with 10,000,000 or more tonnes of snow. They can flow along a valley
floor and even a short distance uphill on the other side.
C Three factors are necessary for an avalanche to form. The first relates to the condition of the Page 5/13
snowpack. Temperature, humidity, and sudden changes in weather conditions all affect the shape and
condition of snow crystals in the snowpack which, in turn, influences the stability of the snowpack. In
some cases, weather causes an improvement in avalanche conditions. For example, low temperature
variation in the snowpack and consistent below-freezing temperatures enable the crystals to compress
tightly. On the other hand, if the snow surface melts and refreezes, this can create an icy or unstable layer.
D The second vital factor is the degree of slope of the mountain. If this is below 25 degrees, there is
little danger of an avalanche. Slopes that are steeper than 60 degrees are also unlikely to set off a major
avalanche as they ‘sluff’ the snow constantly, in a cascade of loose powdery snow which causes minimal
danger or damage. This means that slabs of ice or weaknesses in the snowpack have little chance to
develop. Thus, the danger zone covers the 25- to 60-degree range of slopes, with most avalanches being
slab avalanches that begin on slopes of 35 to 45 degrees.
E Finally, there is the movement or event that triggers the avalanche. In the case of slab avalanches,
this can be a natural trigger, such as a sudden weather change, a falling tree or a collapsing ice or snow
overhang. However, in most fatal avalanches, it is people who create the trigger by moving through an
avalanche-prone area. Snowmobiles are especially dangerous. On the other hand, contrary to common
belief, shouting is not a big enough vibration to set off a landslide.

(i-viii). There are more headings than paragraphs. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes. List of headings i. Examples of Major Avalanches 1 Paragraph A ii. Stability of the Snowpack 2 Paragraph B iii. What Sets Off an Avalanche? iv. An Expert’s Comments 3 Paragraph C v. Steepness of Mountains vi. Avalanche Peril 4 Paragraph D vii.

which you think fits best according to the text. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes. AN UNLIKELY MUSE
A new wave of music and arts projects has emerged, focusing on someone who may seem for some
a dubious source of inspiration. Imelda Marcos, former first lady of the Philippines, is currently
becoming the subject of musicals, song cycles and shows on a worldwide arena.
When the Marcos regime collapsed in 1986, and Imelda and her husband Ferdinand were exiled in
Hawaii, they carried with them allegations of embezzlement, corruption and human rights abuses.
Imelda had spent the last twenty years living off a seemingly endless supply of funds, living an exotic
and glamorous lifestyle and rubbing shoulders with powerful figures worldwide. In 1972, when the
superstar couple’s popularity was fading and they were at risk of losing their power, Ferdinand Marcos
instated martial, leading to an era of chaos and plunder, and what is described by some as the second
most corrupt regime of the twentieth century. Ferdinand and Imelda fled in 1986 to escape the People’s
Power Revolution, Imelda leaving behind some 2000 pairs of shoes.
After her husband died in Hawaii due to ill health, Imelda stood trial in the United States on behalf
of her husband. Following that, she returned to the Philippines to face seventy more counts of corruption
and tax evasion. She has now returned to congress in the Philippines, her make-up and gowns as flawless as ever.
So what makes Imelda Marcos such an appealing muse? Undoubtedly, Imelda Marcos’s resolute
character which has withstood exile, legal battles and the wrath of her enemies makes her an appealing
heroine, but film-maker Fenton Bailey attributes her iconicity to her sense of glamour and style, and her
role as a cultural trend-setter. And like so many women who let nothing come between them and their
goals, she has gained a certain iconic status, particularly among homosexuals, not unlike that of Judy Garland and Lady Gaga.
And now the story of Imelda Marcos can be seen in the format of a musical, an artistic genre which
is quite befitting for this flamboyant, entertaining figure of beauty and glamour. ‘Imelda – A new
musical’ has played in Los Angeles and New York. The artistic director of the musical, Tim Dang,
realizes that the musical glosses over the darker aspects of the Marcos regime, but wanted to portray
Imelda as a person with all her faults on display, leaving the audience to come to a verdict. However,
despite the glitz of the show, reviews were mixed, stating the ‘the serio-comic spoof... had a vacuum at its centre’.
The story of Imelda Marcos has also been immortalized as a song cycle, ‘Here Lies Love’ written
by David Byrne and Norman Cook, in which Imelda comes across as both a hero and villain. Their
reasoning was to try to understand the story of how people can attain positions of such power and greed.
They were also inspired by Imelda’s love of dancing and clubbing, and how her own style of music
could be incorporated into their own. Byrne adds that their story is not black and white – the couple
was very popular at first, and Imelda headed a lot of public works in the Philippines and added much to
the nation’s sense of culture and identity.
At the Cultural Centre of the Philippines, a tour named ‘La Vida Imelda’ led by Carlos Sedran
describes the life of Imelda Marcos, the cold war and martial law, while also portraying the glamour of
the Imelda lifestyle. He describes it as an eternal story, in which her extravagance can be seen as either
distasteful or in some ways estimable.
There is a danger that these new art forms airbrush out the atrocity which accompanied the
ostentation and glamour. It was a time when democracy was suppressed, political enemies disappeared,
and billions of dollars which could have helped the poverty-stricken country were spent on the Marcos’s Page 7/13
extravagant lifestyle. However, the artists involved are keen to make clear that the regime also resulted
in great leaps forward in the country’s culture, architecture and infrastructure. The Marcos legacy
remains in the form of hospitals, Heart and Lung Centres, Folk Art theatres and homes for children and
the elderly, notwithstanding that the Marcos couple set their war-ravaged, poverty-stricken land onto the world stage.
1. Why are Imelda’s shoes mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. To illustrate how little she cared for her personal possessions.
B. To illustrate her love of fashion and beauty.
C. To indicate how quickly she had to flee the country.
D. To illustrate the extravagance of her lifestyle.

3. Why is Imelda compared with Judy Garland and Lady Gaga?

B. Due to her ambition and drive
C. Because she has created new fashions
D. Because she has triumphed over legal battles
4. The phrase “rubbing shoulders” in the second paragraph mostly means ______. A. hobnobbing B. abetting C. fostering D. conferring
5. Why was the musical of Imelda’s life criticized?
A. Because it did not portray Imelda’s faults
B. Because the show was too shallow
C. Because it was too glamorous and showy
D. Because it was both serious and comedic
6. What was it about Imelda’s story that interested David Byrne and Norman Cooke?
A. The ongoing themes of power, greed and music
B. The fact that the story had both a clear hero and villain
C. The reasoning why people such as Imelda become who they are
D. The fact that her musical taste was similar to theirs

9. The word “atrocity” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. A. complexity B. indignity C. mendacity D. barbarity

Part 5 (15 points). Read the text below and do the tasks that follow. Consultant A
A university degree is no guarantee of a job, and job hunting in itself requires a whole set of skills. If
you find you are not getting past the first interview, ask yourself what is happening. Is it a failure to
communicate or are there some skills you lack? Once you see patterns emerging it will help you decide
whether the gaps you have identified can be filled relatively easily. If you cannot work out what the
mismatch is, get back to the selection panel with more probing questions, and find out what you need to
do to bring yourself up to the level of qualification that would make you more attractive to them: but be
careful to make this sound like a genuine request rather than a challenge or complaint. Consultant B
Do not be too dispirited if you are turned down for a job, but think about the reasons the employers give.
They often say it is because others are 'better qualified', but they use the term loosely. Those who made
the second interview might have been studying the same subject as you and be of similar ability level,
but they had something which made them a closer match to the selector's ideal. That could be experience
gained through projects or vacation work, or it might be that they were better at communicating what
they could offer. Do not take the comments at face value: think back to the interviews that generated
them and make a list of where you think the shortfall in your performance lies. With this sort of
analytical approach you will eventually get your foot in the door. Consultant C
Deciding how long you should stay in your first job is a tough call. Stay too long and future employers
may question your drive and ambition. Of course, it depends where you are aiming. There can be
advantages in moving sideways rather than up, if you want to gain real depth of knowledge. If you are a
graduate, spending five or six years in the same job is not too long provided that you take full advantage
of the experience. However, do not use this as an excuse for apathy. Graduates sometimes fail to take
ownership of their careers and take the initiative. It is up to you to make the most of what's available
within a company, and to monitor your progress in case you need to move on. This applies particularly if
you are still not sure where your career path lies. Consultant D
It is helpful to think through what kind of experience you need to get your dream job and it is not a
problem to move around to a certain extent. But in the early stages of your career you need a definite
strategy for reaching your goal, so think about that carefully before deciding to move on from your first
job. You must cultivate patience to master any role. There is no guarantee that you will get adequate
training, and research has shown that if you do not receive proper help in a new role, it can take 18 months to master it. Consultant E
A prospective employer does not want to see that you have changed jobs every six months with no
thread running between them. You need to be able to demonstrate the quality of your experience to a
future employer, and too many moves too quickly can be a bad thing. In any company it takes three to
six months for a new employee to get up to speed with the structure and the culture of the company.
From the company's perspective, they will not receive any return on the investment in your salary until
you have been there for 18 months. This is when they begin to get most value from you - you are still
fired up and enthusiastic. If you leave after six months it has not been a good investment - and may make other employers wary. Page 9/13
