THE QUALITIES OF GREAT CHILDREN’S FILMS
Some children’s films are forgettable and formulaic, but the best of them (31) ______ audiences of every age with intense cinematic experiences. “The great children’s films are the ones adults love too, that everybody loves,” says Catherine Des Forges of the Independent Cinema Office. “They really engage you. They make you laugh, they make you cry, they take you into their world and you come out thinking differently.”
So what are the qualities that (32) ______ for truly great children’s cinema? All great children’s films have dynamic narratives, unforgettable characters and emotional power. Often, they deal with dark (33) ______ matter – especially separation and the anxieties it entails. In many of these films, a young character is dramatically parted from an older, stronger protector – a wrenching scene that leaves audiences in (34) _______.
“If you think about the lives children lead,” says Des Forges, “they’re influenced by a lot of the same things adults are, like bereavement and loss, loneliness and violence. I think the best children’s films deal with that in a way that’s comprehensible even to quite young audiences.”
Of course, great children’s cinema can move the mind as well as the heart. Some deal with the biggest, most complex questions: Who are we? How do we know what we know? What’s our purpose and place in this world?
Humour is vital too, though it’s essential to avoid the kind of self-conscious irony which prevents an emotional response. The best ones work because we know that behind all the jokes, the main characters care about each other. (35) _______ all, a great children’s film must have sincerity. It must say: “I want you to care about these characters.”

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 36 to 42.
Since its birth in the middle of the 19th century, the women’s rights movement has taken root and spread throughout the world. In many countries women have fought for the right to vote, the right to work, the right to be educated to the limit of their capacities, the right to own and dispose of property, and for equal rights within marriage. The cause has penetrated world governments via the United Nations which in 1946 set up a special commission to study the worldwide status of women and make recommendations to the Social and Economic Council on ways of improving it. UNESCO too assists in the advancement of women by seeking top involve them in educational and cultural programmes.
In addition, a multitude of women’s organizations exist in individual countries to further, at national and international levels, the eradication of remaining areas of discrimination. Through their affiliation with international feminist bodies, they are in touch with women’s activities and achievements in all parts of the world.
However, with half the world’s population still illiterate - most of them women - there is great disparity in what has been, and has still to be achieved. At one end of the scale, women’s rights workers are still pressing for elementary education; at the other, for the removal of early ‘protective’ legislation which is now felt to be discriminatory because it denied women certain freedoms: for example, the right to do night work if they so choose. Nevertheless, despite the fact that the women’s movement has progressed unevenly and with varying success, women in general are emerging from ‘chatteldom’ and are beginning to take their place beside men as free and equal citizens.
Wherever they have been granted the opportunity, women have demonstrated their ability to compete on equal terms with men. In time of war they have taken over from them in almost every sphere, building a record of distinguished service which has proved for all time that the power behind the throne is no less capable of ruling from it, and also that the hand rocking the cradle is equally at home manufacturing it.
(Adapted from “Buss Corres’Ce & Report Writing, 4E” by Sharma & Mohan)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 43 to 50.
The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals. Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. “Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough,” said the report author Dr. Robert Hepworth.
Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.
With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in jeopardy because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.
Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include:
· the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows.
· the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.
The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. “We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level. The clock is running,” said Dr. Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.

C. Most animals should find a more favorable growing conditions to survive due to climate change.
D. It may be possible to predict changes in species’ migratory patterns in response to future changes in climate.
Question 44: According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future?
A. They will only produce female babies.
B. Their food supply will gradually disappear.

Question 45: What does the phrase “in jeopardy” in the passage mean?

A. The majority of migratory species move only a short distance.

A. More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.
B. 20 percent of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss.
C. Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly.
