Scientists are studying genes that could mean long life for us all. There are already many, many people who have passed the landmark age of 100. In fact, there are now so many healthy, elderly people that there’s a new term for them: the elderly. These are people over the age of 80 who have no diseases such as a high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes and have never taken medicines for these conditions. There have been many scientific studies of communities where a healthy old age is typical. These include places like Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in Japan. The small village of Molochio in Calabria has about 2,000 inhabitants. And of those, there are at least eight centenarians. When researchers ask people about the secret of their long life, the answer is almost always to do with diet and is almost always the same. ‘I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.’ ‘A little bit, but of everything.’ ‘No smoking, no drinking.’ Whilst in the past scientists looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life, these days they are investigating genetics. Once such researcher is Eric Topol, who says, ‘There must be genes that explain why these individuals are protected from the aging process.’ The new research into long life looks at groups of people who have a genetic connection. For example, one group of interest lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number of people with the same genetic condition. It’s called Laron syndrome. The condition means that they don’t grow to more than about one metre, but is also seems to give them protection against cancer and diabetes. As a result, they live longer than other people in their families. Meanwhilst, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there’s another group of long-lived men, Japanese-Americans. They have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group. Back in Canada, scientists are trying to work out exactly how much of the longevity is due to genetics and how much to environment. By checking public records going back to the 19th century, researchers have reconstructed the family trees of 202 nonagenarians and centenarians. They concluded that there were genetic factors involved and they seemed to benefit the men more than the women – a surprising result because generally in Europe, there are five times more women centenarians than men. 5-A
7. So what really makes people live longer? It seems likely that it is an interaction of genes, the environment and probably a third factor – luck. 1. What two factors for long life do scientists usually investigate? A. where people live and what their lifestyle are B. genetic factors and environmental factors C. people’s diet and activity when they were young D. people’s working and living habits 2. Diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure ___. A. are common illnesses in elderly people B. teach scientists a lot about old age and long life C. are never found amongst a group of people in Ecuador D. affect people in some areas more than those in others 3. What do some people from Calabria and Okinawa have in common? A. They suffer from diabetes. B. They have an unusual genetic illness. C. They live long and healthy lives. D. They have similar genetic patterns. 4. According to the article, ___. A. scientists are investigating people who are 120 years old B. scientific advances mean we will all live to at least 100 years C. scientists have found genes that might influence how long we live D. scientists haven’t discovered why people in some areas typically live longer than others 5. The word “landmark” is closest in meaning to ___. A. important stage B. major breakthrough C. hallmark D. benchmark 6. According to the article, ___. A. people who live in small villages have healthier lifestyles B. in parts of Italy and Japan, most people live to be a hundred C. men generally outlive women in most parts of the world D. some communities in Italy and Japan have been studied by scientists 7.

A. often say that their diet is the most important thing B. don’t usually know what the secret to long life is C. give many different reasons for their old age D. used to pursue at least one type of physical activity when they were young 8. The word “nonagenarians” is closest in meaning to ___. A. people under 100 years old B. people over 100 years old C. people from 50 to 59 years old D. people from 90 to 99 years old 9. Laron syndrome is interesting to scientists because ___. A. it might help people with growth problems B. it shows that there is a genetic reason for old age C. there are different versions of the syndrome D. what causes it is still a mystery 10. Scientists think that healthy old age ___. A. is typical in certain communities only B. was more common in the 19th century than it is now C. is a genetic condition in European women D. is the result of the interaction of different factors Your answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Part 4: Read the following passage and then choose from the list a-h given below the best phrase to fill each of the spaces. Write your answers in the numbered boxes provided.

Part 5: Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. (2.0 points) The US City and the Natural Environment A. While cities and their metropolitan areas have always interacted with and shaped the natural environment, it is only recently that historians have begun to consider this relationship. During our own time, the tension between natural and urbanized areas has increased, as the spread of metropolitan populations and urban land uses has reshaped and destroyed natural landscapes and environments. B. The relationship between the city and the natural environment has actually been circular, with cities having massive effects on the natural environment, while the natural environment, in turn, has profoundly shaped urban configurations. Urban history is filled with stories about how city dwellers contended with the forces of nature that threatened their lives. Nature not only caused many of the annoyances of daily urban life, such as bad weather and pests, but it also gave rise to natural disasters and catastrophes such as floods, fires, and earthquakes. In order to protect themselves and their settlements against the forces of nature, cities built many defenses including flood walls and dams, earthquake-resistant buildings, and storage places for food and water. At times, such protective steps sheltered urbanites against the worst natural furies, but often their own actions – such as building under the shadow of volcanoes, or in earthquake-prone zones – exposed them to danger from natural hazards. C. City populations require food, water, fuel, and construction materials, while urban industries need natural materials for production purposes. In order to fulfill these needs, urbanites increasingly had to reach far beyond their boundaries. In the nineteenth century, for instance, the demands of city dwellers for food produced rings of garden farms around cities. In the twentieth century, as urban populations increased, the demand for food drove the rise of large factory farms. Cities also require fresh water supplies in order to exist – engineers built waterworks, dug wells deeper and deeper into the earth looking for groundwater, and dammed and diverted rivers to obtain water supplies for domestic and industrial uses. In the process of obtaining water from distant locales, cities often transformed them, making deserts where there had been fertile agricultural areas. D. Urbanites had to seek locations to dispose of the wastes they produced. Initially, they placed wastes on sites within the city, polluting the air, land, and water with industrial and domestic effluents. As cities grew larger, they disposed of their wastes by transporting them to more distant locations. Thus, 7-A
9. cities constructed sewerage systems for domestic wastes. They usually discharged the sewage into neighboring waterways, often polluting the water supply of downstream cities. The air and the land also became dumps for waste disposal. In the late nineteenth century, coal became the preferred fuel for industry, transportation, and domestic use. But while providing an inexpensive and plentiful energy supply, coal was also very dirty. The cities that used it suffered from air contamination and reduced sunlight, while the cleaning tasks of householders were greatly increased. E. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, reformers began demanding urban environmental cleanups and public health improvements. Women's groups often took the lead in agitating for clean air and clean water, showing a greater concern than men in regard to quality of life and health-related issues. The replacement of the horse, first by electric trolleys and then by the car, brought about substantial improvements in street and air sanitation. The movements demanding clean air, however, and reduction of waterway pollution were largely unsuccessful. On balance, urban sanitary conditions were probably somewhat better in the 1920s than in the late nineteenth century, but the cost of improvement often was the exploitation of urban hinterlands for water supplies, increased downstream water pollution, and growing automobile congestion and pollution. F. In the decades after the 1940s, city environments suffered from heavy pollution as they sought to cope with increased automobile usage, pollution from industrial production, new varieties of chemical pesticides and the wastes of an increasingly consumer-oriented economy. Cleaner fuels and smoke control laws largely freed cities during the 1940s and 1950s of the dense smoke that they had previously suffered from. Improved urban air quality resulted largely from the substitution of natural gas and oil for coal and the replacement of the steam locomotive by the diesel-electric. However, great increases in automobile usage in some larger cities produced the new phenomenon of smog, and air pollution replaced smoke as a major concern. G. During these decades, the suburban out-migration, which had begun in the nineteenth century with commuter trains and streetcars and accelerated because of the availability and convenience of the automobile, now increased to a torrent, putting major strains on the formerly rural and undeveloped metropolitan fringes. To a great extent, suburban layouts ignored environmental considerations, making little provision for open space, producing endless rows of resource-consuming and fertilizer-dependent lawns, contaminating groundwater through leaking septic tanks, and absorbing excessive amounts of fresh water and energy. The growth of the outer city since the 1970s reflected a continued preference on the part of many people in the western world for space-intensive single-family houses surrounded by lawns, for private automobiles over public transit, and for the development of previously untouched areas. Without better planning for land use and environmental protection, urban life will, as it has in the past, continue to damage and stress the natural environment. Questions 1-7.

Your answers 8. 9. 10. IV. WRITING (6.0 points) Part 1. Read the following text and use your own words to summarize it in a paragraph of 60-70 words. You MUST NOT copy or re-write the original. (1.0 point) Friends and acquaintances are not the same. A friend is a person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of sexual or family relations. Friends share secrets and honest feelings with each other, and when someone is in the company of their friends, they have the ability to be their true self. We call our friends when we need help, have happy news to share, or just want to connect and talk. Friends help each other to solve their problems. A true friend will advise and even argue with you if you are making a bad choice. He or she’ll also try to take you back to the correct path. An acquaintance is someone you know and spend time with occasionally. For example, they are the people you see at work or at school, but never bother to see outside of those circumstances. Acquaintances may know some information about each other, and they may have long conversations, but they may not be very close. You don’t usually ask for help from acquaintances whenever you are in trouble; it’s your friends that you call first. You will seek help from acquaintances only if your friends are unable to offer. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ 9-A
