When you want to book a flight to a certain place, visit your nearest travel agent. Tell thetravel agent the date when you want to travel and the destination to which you want to go. Thetravel agent will then type the information into a small computer. After checking everything onthe computer screen, he/she will send the information to a central computer. The centralcomputer contains all information about bookings and destinations, and sends a reply, showingwhich are the most suitable flights. It also shows whether the flights are fully booked or not.The information which is now shown on the small computer screen is continually changing asother bookings are made in other parts of the world.

The travel agent now types in your booking, then the computer will ask for your nameand address as well as for certain other information. It will also ask how you will pay for your ticket (by cheque or by credit card). Next the computer confirms the booking and makes arequest for payment. When you have paid for your ticket, the travel agent types theinformation into the computer as well. Finally, some computers print out a ticket before you

leave the travel agent’s.A. Details about the flights and seats available are sent back.B. The computer then wants information about the method of payment.C. The tickets are issued either at that time or later.D. The computer asks for personal details.

Write the correct word from the passage in each blank. Number one has been done for you as an example.

People often laugh at opinion polls and remember the times when they were slightlyincorrect. However, they often forget all the times when they were accurate. A poll should beconducted very carefully and should sample a cross-section of the population. The cross-

section should be selected very carefully so that the right balance of ages, sexes and socialclasses can be achieved. At first it was very difficult for many people to accept that sample of one or two thousand could reflect accurately the views of millions but polls have now provedthemselves. However, polls should not claim to do what they are not intended to. The findingsshould always be examined very carefully before predictions are made with any degree of certainty.1. mixture2. chosen3. meant

4. a little5. forecasts6. represent ....cross-section....7. carried out8. results9. opinions10. wrong11. studiedPart 3: Fill in each numbered space with ONE suitable wordThe world of dreamsMost people feel that when they dream, they (0) are carried off to another world.(1)...........................the contrary, dreams are often connected (2) ................... our daily lives.(3) ......................... our whole mind (4)........................ filled with something, when we areeither very upset (5)..................... when we are in good spirit, a dream will represent(6)...................... reality in symbols.

16. Paragraph A 17. Paragraph B 18. Paragraph C19. Paragraph D 20. Paragraph E 21. Paragraph F

The end of the silver screen?Cinema technology has remained much the same for a century, so when will it go digital?Kelvin Hilton views the projections.A Cinema is full of contradictions. It is high- tech and old- fashioned at the same time.Today’s films are full of digital sound and computer- generated special effects. Yet they arestill stored on celluloid film, the basis of which is more than 100 years old. They are alsodisplayed with projectors and screens that seem to belong to our great- grandparents’generation.B Now that we are in the second century of cinema, there are moves to bring the mediumright up to date. This will involve revolutionising not just how films are made but also howthey are distributed and presented. The aim is not only to produce and prepare films digitally, but to be able to send them to movie theatres by digital, electronic means. High- resolutiondigital projectors would then show the film. Supporters say this will make considerablesavings at all stages of this chain, particularly for distribution.C With such a major technological revolution on the horizon, it seems strange that theindustry is still not sure what to call itself. This may appear a minor point, but the choices,

‘digital’ cinema and ‘electronic’ cinema (e- cinema), suggest different approaches to, andaspects of, the business. Digital cinema refers to the physical capture of images; e-cinemacovers the whole chain, from production through post- production (editing, addition of specialeffects and construction of soundtrack) to distribution and projection.D And what about the effects of the new medium? The main selling point of digital cinema is

8/3/2019 1 so de thi t


the high resolution and sharpness of the final image. But those who support the old- fashionedapproach to film point to the celluloid medium’s quality of warmth. A recurring criticism of video is that it may be too good: uncomfortably real, rather like looking through an openwindow. In 1989, the director of the first full- length American digital high-definition movieadmitted that the picture had a ‘stark, strange reality to it’.E Even the money–saving aspect of e-cinema is doubted. One expert says that excitingcinema will have to show the new material and not all of them will readily or rapidly furnish

themselves with the right equipment. ‘E-cinema is seen as a way of saving money, because print costs a lot,’ he says. ‘But for that to work, cinemas have to be showing the films becausecinemas are the engine that drives the film industry.’F This view has prompted some pro-digital entrepreneurs to take a slightly differentapproach. HD Thames is looking at reinventing the existing cinema market, moving towards e-theatre, which would use digital video and projection to present plays, musicals and somesporting events to the public. This is not that different from the large-screen TV system thatwas set up in New York in 1930 and John Logie Baird’s experiments with TV in the late 1920sand early 30s.

Questions 22-26Complete the summary below using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passageThere are big changes ahead for cinema if digital production takes place and the industry nolonger uses (22)……………………. and gets rid of the old-fashioned (23)……………….and used to show movies. The main advantage is likely to be that the final image will beclearer. However, some people argue that the digital picture will lack (24)………………..In addition, digital production will only reduce costs if cinemas are willing to buy new (25)………………..As a result, experiments with what is called (26) ‘………………..’ may mark a change in the whole entertainment industry.

00: √0 Midsummer, the celebration of the turning of the sun, has been being the00 highlight of the northern summer for centuries- an event full of symbolism,1 customs, magic and superstitions. In Finland, Midsummer night is so short2 as that evening duck flows into morning dawn almost unnoticed. Even in3 southern Finland, midnight is the best described as strong twilight.4 Midsummer night was, the most of all, the cerebration of greenery and5 fruit. Nature is in a full bloom then and the day is never-ending. It was6 customary throughout Finland to bring branches and greenery to indoors on7 Midsummer Eve. Houses were so thoroughly cleaned and decorated with8 birch branches and flower garlands. This ‘indoor forest’ was complete when9 leaves on the scrubbed floor gave out a fresh forest aroma. Midsummer is

10 still the Finns’ most important summer cerebration. They gather together 11 around the bonfire to make dance, play and be with family and friends12 themselves. In some areas Midsummer poles decorated with flowers garlands13 and leaves are erected for the festivities. Although some of the old ceremonies14 are now performed only for fun, Midsummer night, as bathed in the strange
