Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks from 50 to 54. 	 
The sea has always interested people. From it they can get food, minerals, and treasures. For thousands of years, they sailed on the sea. But they could not go far beneath its surface. People want to explore deep into the sea. However, they are not fishes. Because people must breathe air, they cannot stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, men and women face even more dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. Divers can wear diving suits and have air pumped to them from above. They can carry tanks of air on their back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water push against a diver deep in the sea. The diver’s body is under great pressure. When divers are under great pressure, their blood takes in some of the gases they breathe. As they rise too quickly, the gases in their blood form bubbles. Divers then suffer from the bends. The bends can cause divers to double up in pain. Bends can even kill divers.
Question 50: A diver’s body in deep water________.
	A. is under great pressure	B. is just like a fish’s body
C. suffers from the bends	D. weighs very little
Question 51: The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_________
	A. divers explore the deep seas only for treasure. 	
B. diving under the water too quickly causes the bends.
	C. Divers can wear diving suits to avoid the bends. 	
D. deep-sea divers should be in good health.
Question 52: The gases in a diver’s blood can form________.
	A. great pressure	B. air	C. bubbles	D. oxygen
Question 53: Why do drivers get the bends?
	A. They try to do exercises under the water.	
B. Their diving suits weigh too much.
	C. They come to the surface too quickly.	
D. Their blood takes some of the gases they breathe.
Question 54: Which statement does the story lead you to believe?
	A. The sea began to interest humans in the last few years. 	
B. All divers get the bends sooner or later.
	C. Humans are not at home deep in the sea.	
D. Diving suits do not help divers.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks from 55 to 64. 	 
 Recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes. 
	The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.
	There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
	Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
	But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
	What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders.
	A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
	If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help.
Question 55: A well-protected house _________ .
	A. is less likely to be burgled. 	B. is regarded as a challenge by most criminals.
	C. is a lot of bother to maintain.	D. is very unlikely to be burgled.
Question 56: According to the writer, we should ________ .
	A. avoid leaving our house empty.	B. only go out when we have to.
	C. always keep the curtains closed.	
	D. give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out.
Question 57: The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot __________.
	A. is predictable.	B. is useful.	
	C. is imaginative.	D. is where you always find a spare key.
Question 58: What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?
	A. isolated	B. populous	C. dissatisfying	D. depressing
Question 59: What word best replaces “aforementioned” in paragraph 5?
 	A. foreseen	B. predicted	C. foresaid	D. forethought
Question 60: Gaining entry to a house through a small window _________ .
	A. is surprisingly difficult.	
	B. is not as difficult as people think.
	C. is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door.	
	D. is tried only by very determined burglars.
Question 61: According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms ________.
	A. cost a lot of money but are worth it.	B. are good value for money.
	C. are luxury items.	D. are absolutely essential items.
Question 62: The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole _________.
	A. will prevent your home being burgled.	
	B. avoids you having to invite people into your home.
	C. is only necessary for elderly people.	
	D. gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine.
Question 63: What word best replaces “scrutinise” in paragraph 7?
	A. glance	B. gaze 	C. search	D. examine
Question 64: The best title for the text is _________.
	A. Increasing household crime.	B. Protecting your home from intruders.
	C. What to do if a burglar breaks into your home.	D. Burglary statistics
