Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C, or D) that best {its each space in the following passage.

Soccer
Soccer is a kind of sport played by sides of 11 players with around ball. The ball may not be handle
during play except by the goalkeepers. A soccer player must learn many kinds of footwork.
Trapping, dribbling, and passing are there of the basics.
15
Trapping
Good "ball control" depends on this "skill". The ball doesn't always land at a player's feet. Often, it
will bounce or come from high up. The ball must be brought to the ground and controlled right away.
Usually, a player uses a foot or leg to trap the ball. .
Dribbling
The inside or outside of either foot can be used. When dribbling, the ball is tapped along with the
foot. However, players should never let the ball get away from them. In this way, players can keep
going toward the goal. But if the ball is tapped too hard, the player may lose the ball. It's better for a
player to pass quickly to a teammate instead.
Passing
Using this skill, it is possible to gain half the field with one kick. But when faced with an opponent,
the ball should be passed only a snort distance. A player should pass to a teammate only a few
meters away. The ball is passed into open space ahead of the teammate. Then, the player runs past
the opponent to receive the ball back.

41. What is true of trapping?

A. Players must only use the sides of their feet.
B. Players must kick the ball into open space.
C. Players must bring the ball down and control it.
D. Players should dribble only for a short while.

A. Kick the ball toward the goal with the outside of the foot
B. kick the ball across the field
C. Kick the ball into the open space in front of a teammate
D. Wrestle with the opponent

Some people have complained about this year's collection, New Writing 3, although I cannot
understand why. Surely 500 pages of original writing of this quality, for £6.99, is pretty amazing?

16
Fiction - both parts of novels and complete short stories - makes up most of the book. There are
some enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia McWilliam and Rose Tremain. It's a
strange fact that the less well-known people seem to have written mainly about food. Take my
advice about Jane Harris's Those Nails - this piece should definitely not be read just after meals. It
contains some very unpleasant scenes which could turn your stomach!
There is fine work from ninet.een poets, including R.S. Thomas and John Burnside. There are
pieces from novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane Rogers. Finally, there is a little non-fiction,
which includes a very funny article by Alan Rusbridger on certain newspapers, and an
extraordinary piece about herself from Ursula Owen. This is an exceptional collection and I for one
can't wait to see what next year's choice will include.
41. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. give her opinions about a new book
B. give some information about new writers
C. give some advice to new writers
D. give her opinions of newspaper journalists
42. Why would somebody read the text?
A. to find more details about something
B. to learn what next year's collection will contain
C. to find out about Alan Rusbridger's new novel
D. to decide whether to complain about something
43. What does the writer think of New Writing 3?
A. It's too long. B. It's very amusing.
C. It's very good. D. It's too serious.
44. How might you feel after reading Jane Harris's piece?
A. hungry B. excited Q. unhappy D. sick
45. Which of the following. describes New Writing 3?
A. Great value: two novels, poems and articles only £6.99
B. Great value: the best of new writing for only £6.99
C. Great value: poems by Tremain, Harris and Burnside for only £6.99
D. Great value: newspapers for a whole year for only £6.99

In 1782, the bald eagle was chosen as the national bird of the United States because it is a bird of
strength and courage, and was found all over North America and only in North America.
17
But a little· over 200 years later, the bald eagle had almost disappeared from the country. In 1972,
there were only 3,000 bald eagles in the entire United States. The reason for the bird's decreasing
population was pollution, especially pollution of the rivers by pesticides. Pesticides are chemicals
used to kill insects and other animals that attack and destroy crops. Unfortunately, rain often
washes pesticides into rivers. Pesticides pollute the rivers and poison the fish. Eagles eat these fish
and the poison affects their eggs. The eggs have very thin shells and do not hatch. Eagles only lay
only two or three eggs a year. Because many of the eggs did not hatch and produce more eagles,
the number of eagles quickly became smaller.
Today, the American government and the American people are trying to protect the bald eagle. The
number of bald eagles is increasing. It now appears that the American national bird will survive
and remain a symbol of strength and courage.
