Pregunta 1 According to the following text

Finalizado
The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well as in other countries, originated in the
Puntúa como 1
middle east. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean,
including Carthage in Africa and Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented sounds. The
Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B was beth which meant "house", and
showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded. The Greeks also started to use the
Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth became alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have
been turned sideways. If you know any Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the
right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes. Latin developed an alphabet with some
different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added since. But really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served
them so well for thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. the current alphabet was created by the Greeks.
B. Latin used exactly the same letters as Greek.
C. the name of the alphabet was given after the last letters of it.
D. westerns have been using the same alphabet for years.

In the last paragraph the author says that westerns are using the same system of writing that has been used for thousand of years.

Puntúa como 1

Seleccione una:
A. I’d rent a flat in the center of town.
B. I will buy a house.
C. I’m going to be responsible.
D. My parents love me.

According to the second conditional rules, the “if” clause goes with a past simple tense phrase, whereas the consequence phrase has a
would/wouldn’t phrase. In addition, the idea of living alone involves either buying or renting a place to live. This sentence is, then, grammatically and
meaningfully correct.

Pregunta 4 Read the text and answer the question appropriately.

Finalizado BUTTERFLIES
Puntúa como 1 The butterfly is an insect. Butterflies are noted for their wings, which are often colorful and bright. Butterfly wings are a bit like bird wings.
Bird wings are made of feathers, but butterfly wings are made of tiny overlapping scales. The wings are colored in various patterns.
Some butterfly wings look iridescent (changing rainbow colors, depending on the light) because of the way light hits the scales.
Butterflies have an interesting life cycle. They start as eggs. When they are born, they are what we call caterpillars. This is the larval
stage for the caterpillar. The caterpillars then move into a cocoon, becoming what we call a chrysalis. This is the pupal stage. When the
insect comes out of the cocoon, we call it a butterfly. This is the adult stage for the butterfly. These clear stages of changing on the way to
adulthood are called metamorphosis. Many animals go through metamorphosis, but the butterfly’s changes are more dramatic than most.
Butterflies can be found almost all over the world. There may be as many as twenty thousand different species of butterflies. Butterflies
usually eat flower nectar. Because of this, they are important to the life cycle of many flowers. Butterflies also need minerals, which they
usually get from water found in dirt and sand. They reach their adult stage in the summer. Some butterflies migrate. The Monarch
butterflies migrate about 3000 miles (4800 km) every year. They fly between Mexico and California.
The butterfly life cycle is

Seleccione una:
A. egg, insectal, pupal, adult.

C. insectal, pupal, egg, adult.

BREAKING THE ICE
Finalizado Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.
Puntúa como 1
It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature the water is only 11 degrees above freezing!
Amazingly, there are already eight people swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such cold water. However, in the end, I decided to ask
people instead. Peter Smith has been a swimmer here for three years, coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter morning",
he says, "I thought it would make me healthier and haven't been ill once since I started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees with them. Some doctors say it helps fight illness, while
others say it could be dangerous, especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said. "There's a place in the middle where the ice is thin and
easy to break. You have to avoid the sides where the ice is thicker. I did try to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found that it was
impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred metres. But the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked
very carefully into the pool, stood there almost in shock and then got out again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What do you think the writer would sat to his friends?

Seleccione una:
A. It's amazing how the pool stays clear of ice all winter
B. My doctor has advised me not to go swimming there
C. I was surprised a the number of people in the pool - they must be crazy
D. I really enjoyed my early morning swim at the outdoor pool

Puntúa como 1 oneself, at home alone, even in a cold studio like mine. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning. I like to
paint as soon as I wake up, which is always early, but isn’t the same time every day. And nobody tells me what to wear, or whether I can
take the afternoon off and go to a football match. But then, I have no one to chat with when I’m bored, or no one to discuss last night’s
match with during the office lunch hour.
What is the writer trying to do in the text?

Seleccione una:
A. Explain why he has changed his job.
B. Say how he would like to work.
C. Encourage readers to work at home.
D. Describe his working life.

In the text the writer describes his / her routine (I like to paint as soon as I wake up, which is always early, but isn’t the same time every day), what
his / her job is like (home alone, even in a cold studio like mine), and what he/she likes about it (What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to
start in the morning. And nobody tells me what to wear or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match).
