Device-centred communication has become almost universal over the past twenty years. More than three
quarters of people in the world now own a mobile device, and more than half communicate via social
networking.
It is now hard to imagine a world without mobile devices consisting of such things as mobile phones,
laptops and tablets. They allow us to stay in touch with a large network of friends, no matter where they are.
But many experts say that communicating with a device is nothing like talking with someone in person.
“Body language, eye contact and tone of voice can tell us so much,” psychologist Mary Peters says. “And
none of those exist on a device. Even video chat removes many subtle clues.”
We don’t know to what extent these technologies will permanently change the way people interact.
People will always want to meet up with others in small and large groups. Indeed, it is fair to say that social
media makes it easier than ever before for people to organise social events. However, there is still a danger
that device-centred communication may have a negative long-term impact on the way people interact with
each other on a day-to-day basis.
We must not, therefore, lose sight of the need to focus on the actual people around us, and remember
that they deserve our real – not virtual – attention. The idea of a culture where people always have a screen
between them sounds a bit funny, because deep understanding comes when we see the reactions on other
people’s faces.
(Adapted from Solutions)
Question 39: The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the development of device-centred communication
B. the impact of device-centred communication
C. the definition of device-centred communication
D. the misunderstanding of device-centred communication
Question 40: The word They in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. mobile phones B. tablets C. mobile devices D. laptops

Question 41: In paragraph 2, in her statement about the advantages of communicating in person, Mary Peters
mentioned all of the following EXCEPT ______.
A. body language B. eye contact C. handshake D. tone of voice
Question 42: The word meet up in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. come down B. get together C. get away D. come away
Question 43: According to paragraph 4, deep understanding appears when ______.
A. we communicate through social networking B. we interact with modern technology
C. we care about our virtual friends D. we see the reactions on the faces of other people
A recent survey into how teenagers in a Southeast Asian country spend their free time has come up with
what some people regard as a surprising finding: many of those surveyed reported that they would rather
stay at home and do things indoors than go out and experience real-life adventures. One in four teenagers
surveyed believed that online experiences were as fulfilling as real life, and more than half were actually
afraid of trying new experiences. When asked about their most memorable experience over the previous ten
months, nearly 30% of boys said ‘playing a new video game’, while 10% of all teenagers said it was watching
a new TV series. On asking for more detailed information, researchers found that 20% of boys and 22% of
girls said they had never had a real-life adventure.
It would be easy to blame technological advances for these findings. After all, today’s teenagers have
many more indoor activities to choose from than did their parents. About half a century ago children were
expected to spend more of their free time outside. But researchers do not put the blame wholly on technology.
To members of older generations, these findings are worrying, because it means that young people
increasingly rely on virtual reality and are consequently missing out on real outdoor activities such as
mountain climbing, kayaking, etc., which have always been regarded as both enjoyable and character-
building. The surveyed adults said they thought today’s youth were more protected than they had been when
they were growing up. Giving examples of this protection, more than half said they would not let their
teenage children hitchhike or go on holiday without an adult. Seven in ten said they would not even allow
their teenagers to get into a taxi on their own. It is not clear whether adults believe the world is more
dangerous than it used to be or whether they do not trust today’s youngsters to look after themselves.
(Adapted from Cambridge English First for Schools)
Question 44: Which of the following can be the main idea of the passage?
A. Thorough research on teenagers’ online games and outdoor activities
B. Teenagers’ free-time activity preferences and adults’ concerns
C. Viewpoints on teenagers’ free-time adventures and online games
D. Fears and tensions encountered by teenagers and adults’ concerns
Question 45: The word fulfilling in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. frightening B. satisfying C. devastating D. discouraging
Question 46: The word advances in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. movements B. advantages C. barriers D. developments
Question 47: The word they in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. outdoor activities B. young people C. older generations D. surveyed adults
Question 48: According to paragraph 3, the older generations are worried about ______.
A. the young’s preferences for outdoor activities B. the young’s reliance on virtual reality
C. the young’s ignorance about virtual reality D. the young’s lack of indoor activities
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. One fourth of the surveyed teenagers believed online experiences in their free time were as pleasing
as real life.
B. The older generations surveyed thought that today’s teenagers were more protected than they had
been.
C. The majority of teenagers surveyed enjoyed real outdoor activities in their leisure time.
D. Researchers do not put all the blame on technology for causing teenagers’ lack of real-life experiences.
Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Many adults think that the present world is as dangerous as it used to be.
B. Many adults are doubtful about their children’s ability to take care of themselves.
C. Virtual life is considered to be more and more challenging for teenagers in the present world.
D. The majority of teenagers surveyed believed virtual reality was as interesting as the real life.

The Japanese love inventing and they are very good at it. But there is one inventor who has invented
more things than anyone else in Japan - Dr. Nakamats. He has designed over 4,000 new inventions over the
last fifty years. He is most well-known for his unusual inventions.
He designed many strange things such as glasses which look like eyes so you can’t notice them, shoes
which have steel springs so that you can jump in them, and a pillow which stops you from falling asleep
when you are driving.
How does he come up with these ideas? He finds listening to Beethoven helpful. But the thing that
makes him most creative is holding his breath underwater. He dives into his swimming pool every day and
stays underwater as long as he can. He believes that less oxygen in the brain is good for new ideas. He also
dives with a pencil and a notebook which he invented. He needs to write down his ideas immediately in the
water because they disappear quickly.
Dr. Nakamats believes that eating the right food is important for creativity, and he has invented some
snacks that he says are good for your brain. He has also invented an armchair which helps to enhance your
brainpower. He sits in the chair every day to give him more good ideas. Dr. Nakamats is now in his eighties,
but he plans to live until he is 144 years old, so he still has plenty of time to develop even more new ideas.

Action movies are exciting and a lot of fun to watch, but they also involve scenes of great risk and
danger. In the language of filmmaking, dangerous actions are called stunts. Who performs these stunts? This
work is too dangerous for regular actors. Movie companies usually hire special stunt people to stand in for
the actors in scenes that are unsafe.
Movie producers don’t like to let actors do their own stunt work. If the actors injure themselves, it can
delay the production schedule. Using stunt people also saves time. Most stunt people have years of
experience, which enables them to perform their stunts with a minimum of risk. It would take too long to
train the actors to perform dangerous scenes safely.
Some people who love the thrill of dangerous sports such as skydiving or rock climbing think it would
be easy to work as a stunt person. But it isn’t enough to be a risk-taker. Stunt performers also have to know
what to do if anything goes wrong.
In addition to risk-taking and meticulous attention to detail and planning, stunt work requires being in
top physical condition. Although there are a few training programmes for stunt performers, most provide
only an overview of the profession. Normally, the people who attend these programmes already have
experience in dangerous sports, rescue work, or the military. So the best way to prepare for a career in stunt
work is to train in an area that involves strong physical conditioning and has an element of physical danger.
Modern filmmaking techniques have changed the way some dangerous scenes are filmed. For example,
computer-generated images make it possible to show stunts that would be too dangerous or expensive for
real stunt people to perform. Computer-generated images are often used today to create big fight scenes, car
crashes, and explosions. However, they are not always the best choice. Many audiences want to see real
people perform actual stunts. Also, the rising popularity of made-for-TV movies around the world ensures
that there is still plenty for stunt people in the film industry.

Device-centred communication has become almost universal over the past twenty years. More than three
quarters of people in the world now own a mobile device, and more than half communicate via social
networking.
It is now hard to imagine a world without mobile devices consisting of such things as mobile phones,
laptops and tablets. They allow us to stay in touch with a large network of friends, no matter where they are.
But many experts say that communicating with a device is nothing like talking with someone in person.
“Body language, eye contact and tone of voice can tell us so much,” psychologist Mary Peters says. “And
none of those exist on a device. Even video chat removes many subtle clues.”
We don’t know to what extent these technologies will permanently change the way people interact.
People will always want to meet up with others in small and large groups. Indeed, it is fair to say that social
media makes it easier than ever before for people to organise social events. However, there is still a danger
that device-centred communication may have a negative long-term impact on the way people interact with
each other on a day-to-day basis.
We must not, therefore, lose sight of the need to focus on the actual people around us, and remember
that they deserve our real – not virtual – attention. The idea of a culture where people always have a screen

between them sounds a bit funny, because deep understanding comes when we see the reactions on other
people’s faces.

A recent survey into how teenagers in a Southeast Asian country spend their free time has come up with
what some people regard as a surprising finding: many of those surveyed reported that they would rather
stay at home and do things indoors than go out and experience real-life adventures. One in four teenagers
surveyed believed that online experiences were as fulfilling as real life, and more than half were actually
afraid of trying new experiences. When asked about their most memorable experience over the previous ten
months, nearly 30% of boys said ‘playing a new video game’, while 10% of all teenagers said it was watching
a new TV series. On asking for more detailed information, researchers found that 20% of boys and 22% of
girls said they had never had a real-life adventure.
It would be easy to blame technological advances for these findings. After all, today’s teenagers have
many more indoor activities to choose from than did their parents. About half a century ago children were
expected to spend more of their free time outside. But researchers do not put the blame wholly on technology.
To members of older generations, these findings are worrying, because it means that young people
increasingly rely on virtual reality and are consequently missing out on real outdoor activities such as
mountain climbing, kayaking, etc., which have always been regarded as both enjoyable and character-
building. The surveyed adults said they thought today’s youth were more protected than they had been when
they were growing up. Giving examples of this protection, more than half said they would not let their
teenage children hitchhike or go on holiday without an adult. Seven in ten said they would not even allow
their teenagers to get into a taxi on their own. It is not clear whether adults believe the world is more
dangerous than it used to be or whether they do not trust today’s youngsters to look after themselves.

The Japanese love inventing and they are very good at it. But there is one inventor who has invented
more things than anyone else in Japan - Dr. Nakamats. He has designed over 4,000 new inventions over the
last fifty years. He is most well-known for his unusual inventions.
He designed many strange things such as glasses which look like eyes so you can’t notice them, shoes
which have steel springs so that you can jump in them, and a pillow which stops you from falling asleep
when you are driving.
How does he come up with these ideas? He finds listening to Beethoven helpful. But the thing that
makes him most creative is holding his breath underwater. He dives into his swimming pool every day and
stays underwater as long as he can. He believes that less oxygen in the brain is good for new ideas. He also
dives with a pencil and a notebook which he invented. He needs to write down his ideas immediately in the
water because they disappear quickly.
Dr. Nakamats believes that eating the right food is important for creativity, and he has invented some
snacks that he says are good for your brain. He has also invented an armchair which helps to enhance your
brainpower. He sits in the chair every day to give him more good ideas. Dr. Nakamats is now in his eighties,
but he plans to live until he is 144 years old, so he still has plenty of time to develop even more new ideas.

Action movies are exciting and a lot of fun to watch, but they also involve scenes of great risk and
danger. In the language of filmmaking, dangerous actions are called stunts. Who performs these stunts? This
work is too dangerous for regular actors. Movie companies usually hire special stunt people to stand in for
the actors in scenes that are unsafe.
Movie producers don’t like to let actors do their own stunt work. If the actors injure themselves, it can
delay the production schedule. Using stunt people also saves time. Most stunt people have years of
experience, which enables them to perform their stunts with a minimum of risk. It would take too long to
train the actors to perform dangerous scenes safely.
Some people who love the thrill of dangerous sports such as skydiving or rock climbing think it would
be easy to work as a stunt person. But it isn’t enough to be a risk-taker. Stunt performers also have to know
what to do if anything goes wrong.
In addition to risk-taking and meticulous attention to detail and planning, stunt work requires being in
top physical condition. Although there are a few training programmes for stunt performers, most provide
only an overview of the profession. Normally, the people who attend these programmes already have
experience in dangerous sports, rescue work, or the military. So the best way to prepare for a career in stunt
work is to train in an area that involves strong physical conditioning and has an element of physical danger.
Modern filmmaking techniques have changed the way some dangerous scenes are filmed. For example,
computer-generated images make it possible to show stunts that would be too dangerous or expensive for
real stunt people to perform. Computer-generated images are often used today to create big fight scenes, car
crashes, and explosions. However, they are not always the best choice. Many audiences want to see real
people perform actual stunts. Also, the rising popularity of made-for-TV movies around the world ensures
that there is still plenty for stunt people in the film industry.
