Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to choose the word
or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.
NORDIC WALKING
Nordic walking is an effective technique that uses poles to bring the upper body into more use and
boost the calorie-burning effects of walking. It was originally (26) _______ in Finland by elite cross-
country skiers as a way to keep their fitness levels up during the summer. At first sight, Nordic walking
may look like skiing without the skis - or the snow. But although, to the untrained eye, striding around
the local park with a pair of poles may look a bit silly, it actually offers a serious workout for people of
(27) ________ ages and abilities.
You don't necessarily have to go faster to get more out of it - just put in more effort with the poles. The
poles, (28) _______ can be made from aluminium or carbon fibre, are specially designed to maximise the
work done by the upper body. And because Nordic walking is also a weight-bearing exercise, it's great
for (29) _______ bones and joints. But the best news is that (30) ________ the effort is spread across the
entirety of the body, Nordic walking can actually feel easier and less tiring than normal walking.
(Adapted from Cambridge English Advanced Practice Tests by Mark Harrison)
Question 26. A. deceived B. perceived C. devised D. comprised
Question 27. A. every B. all C. little D. much
Question 28. A. whom B. who C. it D. which
Question 29. A. surging B. climbing C. increasing D. strengthening
Question 30. A. because B. though C. yet D. for instance

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
As cities become bigger, those who can't move inland are starting to consider moving out, onto the sea
itself. There are already cultures where a life on water is nothing new. Islands made from reeds float in
the middle of Peru's Lake Titicaca, home to an ancient community. Venice is made up of 118 islands; and
the Thai capital, Bangkok, with its canals, is famous for its floating markets. Fishermen live at sea for
long periods, but could large numbers of people really move onto the water?
Koen Olthuis, the Dutch founder of Waterstudio.nl and a floating architecture expert, thinks so. His
company is involved in a project in the Maldives, a group of islands just 1.5 metres above sea level. By
2100, their beautiful beaches and white sand could be completely underwater. However, before the
architects can solve this problem, some cash has to be raised.
To do this, Waterstudio will create a luxury floating development (with a conference centre, golf course
and 185-villa resort), and use the money from this to develop artificial islands to provide houses for the
Maldives' poorer citizens. As well as building on the water, architects are now starting to think about
building under the water. AT Design have produced plans for a 10 km floating city off the coast of Hong
Kong, with islands above the water connected by underwater tunnels and walkways. If and when it is
completed, the city will have gardens, a huge entertainment arena for sports matches and concerts and
even its own farms, making it self-sufficient. People will be able to travel back and forth from the
mainland by ferry, and the designers predict that it will be a huge tourist attraction. So, it seems that a life
at sea will have a lot to offer!
(Adapted from Navigate by Rachael Roberts, Heather Buchanan and Emma Pathare)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Everyone tells a little white lie now and then but Cornell University professor, Jeffrey Hancock,
recently claimed to have established the truth of a curious proposition: we deceive less frequently when
we're online than when talking in person. He asked thirty undergraduates to record all their
communications and lies for a week. Tallying the results, he found the students had mishandled the truth
in about one-quarter of all face-to-face conversations, and in 37 per cent of phone calls. But once in
cyberspace, only one in five instant-messaging chats contained a lie, and barely 14 per cent of email
messages were dishonest.
Wasn't cyberspace supposed to be the scary zone where you couldn't trust anyone? Back when the
Internet first went mainstream, those pundits in the government, media and academia worried that the
digital age would open the floodgates of deception. Since anyone could hide behind an anonymous chat-
room nickname, net users, we were warned, would be free to lie with impunity. What is it, then, about
online life that makes us more truthful? It's simple: we're worried about being exposed. In 'real' life, after
all, it's pretty easy to get away with deception. If you lie to someone at a party, you can always claim you
said no such thing. On the Internet, your words often come back to haunt you. The digital age is tough on
liars, as an endless parade of executives are finding out.
There's something about the Internet that encourages us to 'tell all', often in rather outrageous ways.
Psychologists have noticed for years that going online seems to have a catalytic effect on people's
personalities. The most quiet and reserved people may become deranged loudmouths when they sit behind
the keyboard. Others conduct angry debates on discussion boards with total strangers. You can usually
spot the newcomers in any discussion group because they're the ones WRITING IN CAPITALS – they
are overwhelmed by the Internet's heady combination of geographic distance and pseudo-invisibility.

Our impulse to confess via cyberspace inverts much of what we think about honesty. It used to be if
you wanted to really trust someone, you arranged a face-to-face meeting. Our culture still obsesses over
physical contact, the shaking of hands, the lubricating chit-chat. Executives and politicians spend hours
flying across the country merely for a five-minute meeting, on the assumption that even a few seconds of
face time can cut through the prevarications of legal contracts. But perhaps this dependence on online
communication is gratifying news. We could find ourselves living in an increasingly honest world. It will
at least, inevitably, be one in which there are increasingly severe penalties for deception. With its
unforgiving machine memory, the Internet might turn out to be the unlikely conscience of the world.
(Adapted from Ready for Advanced by Roy Norris and Amanda French with Miles Hordern)

Question 39. The word ‘impunity’ in paragraph 2 mostly means _________.
A. punishment B. freedom C. hesitation D. willingness
Question 40. The word ‘they’ in paragraph 3 refers to ___________.
