THE ORIGINS OF HALLOWEEN
Halloween is celebrated in many parts of the (0) (WEST) world, and is a time when people dress up as witches or ghosts, and go “trick-or-treating”. It is (37) (DOUBT) one of the most popular traditions in the United States and Britain.
The celebration (38) (ORIGIN) about two thousand years ago with the Celts. These people were the inhabitants of an area that includes Britain, Ireland and Brittany. They
relied on the land for their (39) (LIVE), and this meant that they were at the mercy of
(40) (PREDICT) weather conditions, especially during the winter.
The Celtic new year began on November 1st, which also marked the beginning of winter, a period (41) (TRADITION) associated with death. On the eve of the new year, it was believed that the barriers between the worlds of the living and the dead were temporarily (42)
(DRAW), and it was possible to communicate with spirits. The Celts believed that the spirits offered them (43) (GUIDE) and protection, and the Druids (Celtic priests) were reputably able to predict the future on this point.
When the Roman completed their (44) (CONQUER) of Celtic lands, they added their own flavour to this festival. The advent of Christianity brought about other changes.

EDUCATION IN THE USA
It was the state of Massachusetts that first introduced compel education in the USA, but by the year 1918, children in every state had to attend school. School starting age, the length of the school year and another requirements varied depending on the particular state laws governing school attendance. They were two basic reasons for the introduction of education for all at this time. The policy was publicised as a reduction of the common practice of child labour, but in addition to this was a desire by the countrys leaders to ensure the transformation of children into economically productive citizens. During that time, education has increasingly come to be seen as a means of occupying children so as to prevent their involvement in crime and other social activities. To make sure this last aim
was achieved, laws were introduced to make the getting out of school unlawful.

PART 2. For questions 61-67, read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to each of the following questions. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (0.7 pts)
Two billion tons of solid waste is generated globally per year, and as urban populations continue to grow, many cities are turning to new technologies for cost-effective solutions to clean up waste. “Cities that address waste problems immediately have the best chance to avoid severe long-term consequences,” says Ricardo Cepeda-Márquez, solid waste director for C40 Cities, a global network of cities committed to tackling climate change. Waste that goes uncollected can lead to blocked drains, severe flooding on the street and the spread of waterborne diseases. Additionally, organic matter dumped in landfills generates methane gas, accelerating climate change in the process.
Copenhagen, Denmark, recently opened its innovative waste-to-energy power plant, known as Copenhill or Amager Bakke. The plant, which burns waste instead of fossil fuels, is capable of converting 450,000 tons of trash into energy annually, delivering electricity to 30,000 households and heating to 72,000. Though it still produces CO2 emissions from burning, the city plans to install a system to capture the carbon released and then store this amount of carbon or find a commercial use for it. By tapping an otherwise unused resource, it will also help the city move away from its dependence on fossil fuels. Other cities are also experimenting with similar waste-to-energy plants, but it is warned that a city needs solid infrastructure and a strong waste collection system already in place before it can reap the benefits of one of these plants.
Other cities are starting on a street level, using artificial intelligence and automation to sort recyclables, or sensors to reduce the amount thrown away. For instance, Singapore and Seoul, South Korea, have installed smart, solar-powered trash cans on their streets. Each is equipped with a compactor, enabling it to hold more trash. Once the bin is full, its sensors alert the waste collectors.
Typically, cities send out different trucks to collect different types of waste - one truck collecting plastic for recycling, another collecting food waste, for example. However, that
requires a lot of trucks, which means added costs and more traffic. Norways capital Oslo has designed a clever model to circumvent this. Since 2012, city residents have been required to use different colored bags for different types of waste, and instead of collecting them separately, trucks gather all the bags at once and take them to an optical sorting plant. The green bags containing food waste and blue bags with plastic waste are separated from other waste by sophisticated optical reading technology, which detects the color of the bags with approximately 98% precision. The city claims that increased waste segregation and public awareness campaigns have had a positive effect, reducing the amount thrown away by each household and increasing the amount that is reused and recycled.
61. According to paragraph 1, all of the following are mentioned as problems caused by uncollected waste in cities EXCEPT .
A. drainage system being blocked B. more waste dumped into landfills
C. transmission of diseases via water D. serious street flooding
62. Which of the following is TRUE, according to paragraph 2?
A. Copenhill provides both electricity and heating to more than 30,000 households annually.
B. A city’s infrastructure must reach an adequate standard to benefit from waste-to-energy plants.
C. Thanks to Copenhill, Copenhagen has become completely independent from fossil fuels.
D. The CO2 emissions captured by Copenhagen’s system will also be turned into energy.
63. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. carbon B. city C. system D. plant
64. The word “circumvent” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .
A. avoid B. tolerate C. adapt D. support
65. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The bigger the population of the city, the more cost-effective technologies it has.
B. Trash bins in Singapore and South Korea can automatically sort and collect trash.
C. Every city should build waste-to-energy plants like that in Denmark immediately.
D. Optical sorting plants will help reduce the number of garbage trucks on the street.
66. The word “segregation” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .
A. circulation B. separation C. demolition D. distribution
67. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Waste management measures in European cities.
B. The negative impacts of poor waste management.
C. What cities around the world are doing to manage waste.
D. The global network of cities trying to solve climate change.
PART 3. For questions 68-75, read the passage below and fill each of the following numbered blanks with ONE suitable word. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. There is an example at the beginning (0): [0. with ] (0.8 pts)
The elementary means of communicating (0) other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a feature characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as (68) two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in (69) with the individual physical properties of the throat.
One possible implementation of the art of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts (70) a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or casual utterances are (71) to the purpose to help identify the probable culprit. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves (72) by their accents, infections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually converted (73)
electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recording which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analysts have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be mingled with background noise or other interfering sounds (74)
they attain the desired results.
Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victim by phone or inform about bomb planting or those (75) make offensive calls disturbing the peace of decent citizens.
