Enunciado de la pregunta Read the text "Are you in love?" and complete the following sentence: You think you are falling in love. You are really attracted to a certain person. But this happened before and it was just a “crush”. How can you tell if it’s real this time? Here is what our readers said: If you are in love… You will find yourself talking to or telephoning the person for no reason. (You might pretend there’s a reason but often there is not). You will find yourself bringing this person into every conversation. (“When I was in Mexico -, “a friend begins. You interrupt with, “my boyfriend made a great Mexican dinner last week”). You might suddenly be interested in things you used to avoid. (“When a woman asks me to tell her all about football, I know she is fallen in love,”) said a TV sports announcer. Ok, so you’ve fallen in love. But falling in love is one thing, and staying in love is another thing. How can you tell, as time passes, that you are still in love? If you stay in love, your relationship will change. You might not talk as much about the person you are in love with. You might not always call him or her so often. But this person will nevertheless become more and more important in your life. You’ll find that you can be yourself with this person. When you first fell in love, you were probably afraid to admit certain things about yourself. But now you can be totally honest. You can trust him or her to accept you as you are. Falling in love is great – staying in love is even better! Taken from: Richards, J. Proctor, S. & Hull, J. (1997) New interchange 3rd edition, (P. 59) Cambridge university press. You are staying in love if you… Seleccione una: a. Can be honest about yourself / can trust in the other. b. Can trust in the other / call for no reason. c. Talk about the other person all the time / call for no reason. d. Can be honest about yourself / suddenly have new interests. Pregunta 3 Finalizado Puntúa 1,00 sobre 1,00

Enunciado de la pregunta According to the text "The Tattoos", the relationship between the tattoo and the laser surgery is: For many years tattoos were associated with sailors and soldiers, then in the 60s and 70s with bikers and heavy metal rock stars. But today more people from all social classes are having tattoos done and there has been a significant increase in the number of women who have them. Many famous people have had tattoos done too. Footballer David Beckham, and his wife, Victoria, both have tattoos of their first son's name Brooklyn. David has one on his back and Victoria has one on her arm. Other famous people include singers, actors and actresses such as Robbie Williams, Britney Spears, and Angelina Jolie among others. Tattoos have existed for more than 5.000 years. The word tattoo comes from the Polynesian word tatau, meaning ''symbol''. In Polynesia tattoos were a sign of social status and the transition from childhood to adult life. They became known in the West when sailors on voyages of discovery to the Polynesian islands had tattoos done because they wanted to be accepted by native people or because they wanted a souvenir of their voyage. The traditional method of tattooing is to make a drawing on the skin and then trace the lines of the final tattoo by injecting ink under the skin, using a machine with a needle. Sounds painful? It is. But not as painful (or expensive) as having a tattoo removed! Modern laser surgery has improved the situation, but even with this method there is no guarantee that a tattoo can be completely removed. So a lot of people have henna tattoos, which are not permanent. These are fine if the pure henna dye is used, but sometimes artists use inferior dyes containing the chemical PPD, which can cause permanent skin problems. There are also semi -permanent tattoos which can last for up to five years Taken from: http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/viewgame.asp?id=4242 Seleccione una: a. That laser surgery and tattoos are good for the health. b. That tattoos can be removed by laser surgery. c. That surgery can be used with tattoos. d. That tattoos are always done by the laser surgery. Pregunta 4 Finalizado Puntúa 1,00 sobre 1,00

I had never seen such beautiful sights before I visited Paris in 2012. I had saved money for 5 years before I booked my trip to Paris. I was very excited! Before my trip to Paris, I had never been out of the United States. When I went to Paris, I spent many days touring the city. The city was big. Sometimes I got lost and asked for directions. I asked for directions in French. That was easy because I had studied French for 2 years before I visited Paris. By the time I left Paris, I had toured many beautiful places. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Luxembourg Gardens were just a few of the places I saw. Before I visited Paris, I had only seen those places on television.

Enunciado de la pregunta Read the text "Living in the Big Apple" and answer the following question: To most people, New York seems an incredibly exciting place to live. What do New Yorkers think of their city? A. THE SINGLE GIRL-Sherrin Bernstein Living in Manhattan is one big financial struggle for Sherrin Bernstein, a trainee beauty therapist. She earns enough to pay the bills, but there is little left for luxuries. “I can’t afford to do expensive things”, she says. But she can have a lot of fun in New York on a Budget. A good meal in a restaurant costs little, and her favorite hobby is rollerblading in Central Park, which costs nothing. Apart from a short break in Spain last year, Sherrin has not had a holiday in ten years. I wish I could go to Italy. It is a fantastic place to go on vacations. She is paying her way through college and earns money by working as a skating instructor. Despite the financial drawbacks, she loves New York. “The energy in this city is incredible”. The worst aspect, according to Sherrin, is pollution and noise. I wish the alarms would not go off through the night. It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep. The aggressive nature of New Yorkers also makes

her uncomfortable. “People push you out of the way on the subway or in the street. Sometimes I long for a more peaceful way of life”. B. THE FAMILY- Mr. and Mrs. Miles and their daughters Seymour Miles, his wife, Jan, and their two daughters live in a three-bedroom apartment, which is large by New York standards. Mr. Miles runs his own business and Jan is vice-president at a bank. The Miles say they are fortunate they can afford to send their daughters to a private school. “The school has an excellent academic reputation, every child has a computer. Things like that influenced our decision to invest so much in their education”. Bringing children up in New York has its benefits and drawbacks. A big advantage is access to New York’s rich cultural life. The girls go regularly to museums and art galleries and see all the latest films. “In New York they are exposed to the diversity of people, they see other cultures and are enriched by that” says Mr. Miles. The disadvantages is they do not have the freedom to go out in the street and play. “We wish they could play safely in the streets. Everything has to be supervised.” The Miles say New York is becoming more expensive and dangerous to live in, so many people are leaving and moving out to the suburbs. C. THE COUPLE- Mr and Mrs Rochford A few years ago, Jeff Rochford considered moving out of New York, “where he’s lived in all his life. “Crime was out of control, the economy was in mess. It was becoming a dangerous place to live. But the clampdown on crime has improved the city tremendously”. Mr. Rochford and his wife, Verda, live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment. Although it is expensive to live in Manhattan, Mr. Rochford says he feeds off the city’s energy and would not live anywhere else. “Here we’ve got everything at our fingertips. Anything you want is available 24 hours a day. “Mrs. Rochford, however, who grew up on a farm in the country, says she has a “love-hate” relationship with New York. “I hate that feeling of being closed in. We wish we could buy a bigger house”, she says. “We’re trying to save up for a bigger home”. D. THE HOMELESS PERSON- Gerry Brown Begging for coins on Fifth Avenue, Gerry Brown doesn’t display an ounce of self-pity. “A lot of wealthy people live here and good luck to them. I know a lot of them and they give me money because they like me”. Gerry, 44, has been unemployed for five years. He stays at a friend’s house and comes into the city center every day. “I do odd jobs”. He gets financial support and food stamps each month from the State. The rest of the time he earns money by going through rubbish bins and picking out cans and bottles for recycling. “I find stuff, like televisions and radios and sell them”, he says. He is experienced enough to know to look after himself. “I know where to get a free shower. I know where to get food – the supermarkets, the restaurants – they all give it away.” Taken from: Fast Track to FCE Longman Pearson Education Limited 2001 Who spends a lot of money for the benefit of others? Seleccione una: a. Mr. and Mrs. Miles. b. Mr. and Mrs. Rochford. c. Sherrin Bernstein. d. Gerry Brown. Pregunta 6 Finalizado Puntúa 1,00 sobre 1,00

Enunciado de la pregunta Read the text "Gateway to the Global Village" and answer the following question: Britain’s capital is a treasure trove of foreign culture. People from all over the world live in London and the result is a thrilling multiculturalism: cafés, restaurants, shops and markets offer you the world on your doorstep. Come and meet people who are… A. Indian After the Irish, the Indian community is the second largest in London. The first Indians arrived in 1597 and more came after the founding of the East India trading company in the seventeenth century. Numbers increased when India became independent in 1947 but the community really took off in the 1950s and 1960s with employment opportunities around Heathrow airport. Although “Little Indians” exist all over London, the most striking is the district of Southhall in West London, not far from the airport. Here Indian foodstalls and video shops are everywhere, spicy aromas fill the air, and women stroll around wearing the typical colourful sari, just as in India. In McDonald’s, the piped music is refreshingly Indian. B. Portuguese The supermarkets and shops in Lambeth and Stockwell Roads are the most obvious indication that you are in “Little Portugal”, but there is much more to this community than that. Over 20,000 Portuguese live south of the River Thames. The majority have come from the island of Madeira rather than from the mainland of Portugal. This close-knit community is mad about football and folk-dancing and holds its own carnival every February. It’s a community that is determined to hold on to its traditions and it’s a great place to experience Madeiran culture. C. Caribbean When the ship Emperor Windrush docked in 1948 with its 500 immigrants, it marked the start of the main period of Caribbean immigration, stimulated by British economic expansion. Since then, over 300,000 have established vibrant communities all around London. The greatest Caribbean celebration is the Notting Hill Carnival, now Europe’s largest street party, which takes place every August. However, Brixton, in South London, is the hub of the community. As you step out of the Underground station into Brixton Market, your senses are stimulated by the noise, the bright colors and the rhythmic sound of Caribbean music. This is one of the best places to shop for food in London. However, the area has become a very popular place to live and prices are rising. D. Japanese Finchley and Hendon in North London are the principal centers for Japanese people. The national affection for golf has had a noticeable effect on these areas – if you drive up Finchley Road, you have an almost unlimited choice of golf shops and courses. Other than this, there is little evidence of a community. Although there are restaurants and food stores here, most socializing takes place at home. It isn’t as permanent as other communities, either – many Japanese arrive on five-year contracts in the banking and technology sectors and then return home afterwards. The best restaurants tend to be in central London, where most of the community works. E. Polish The Polish community isn’t as distinct as some other ethnic communities in London. Andrzej Morawicz, President of a well-known Polish club, puts this down to integration. “When you are a large enough community, it’s easy to hold on to your culture and customs. In comparison, the Polish community has become part of British society to a large extent, so keeping up traditions isn’t so easy”. All the same, you can hear Polish conversations along King Street in Hammmersmith, West London, where newsagents’ windows are full of advertisements in Polish for the benefit of the local community. There are also plenty of clubs, restaurants and

food shops that help to keep traditions alive. There is even a daily Polish-language newspaper, Dziennik Polski. Taken from: Fast Track to FCE Longman Pearson Education Limited 2001 Which community lives and works in a different area? Seleccione una: a. Portuguese. b. Japanese. c. Indian. d. Polish.

Enunciado de la pregunta Choose the correct answer: According to the following reading "Can you imagine what will happen if temperatures continue to rise around the globe?", what will happen if the ice will melt fast? According to scientists, global temperatures have increased by over 1 degree in the past fifty years. If this continues our earth will face disaster. For example, if temperatures at the North and South Poles increase, ice there will melt faster. This means a greater volume of water will pour into the oceans. If the sea level rises, Coastal cities will flood. Big cities on the coast like New York and Miami and Venice will be unlivable like New Orleans shortly after Hurricane “Katrina” in 2005, but, in contrast, damage by ocean flooding will be irreversible. Another danger is from snowfall on the mountain tops. If the snow melts faster, the volume of water will increase. This means rivers will swell and cause flooding and erosion. Or if high temperatures do not allow snow to form on the mountains we will lose a valuable source of fresh water. If we don’t do something soon the situation will be very critical. Scientists hope people will soon understand the danger and act quickly. If they don’t, the imminent disaster will occur. Scientists hope that the active involvement of well-informed people will be crucial in preventing calamities and natural disasters caused by man-induced weather changes.

Enunciado de la pregunta According to the text "The Fishermen", a typhoon is: Three Taiwanese fishermen were rescued yesterday from a small uninhabited island in the South Pacific. The men had disappeared for more than three months. They had left Taiwan in a small fishing boat and had planned a week-long trip. On their fifth day, however, they encountered a typhoon, and it badly damaged their boat. Fortunately, no one was hurt. After the storm had passed, they discovered that the engine wouldn ́t start, so their boat just drifted at sea for over a month. During this time, the fishermen caught fish to eat and drank rain water to stay alive. Finally, the boat drifted toward a small island. When it got close enough, the men jumped out and swam to shore. On the island, they found fresh fruit and vegetables, and they continued to catch fish to eat. The fishermen had lived on the island for two months when a passing ship rescued them. Although the three men had lost a lot of weight, they were still in fairly good shape. Their families feared that the fishermen had died during the typhoon. They were surprised and happy that the ship had found them and that they were safe and sound.
