Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 4 to 10.
For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that people sometimes
mocked him for being overweight, and he was usually able to shrug it off. But this time, as well as
laughing at him in person, someone decided to publicly fat-shame him by posting a video of him
dancing online, with a hurtful comment. Sean was completely unaware of it, but the post about him
was shared widely, and it prompted a wave of abuse from immature Internet trolls.
However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of women in California,
who were campaigning to encourage people to have a positive body image whatever their size,
decided to take action. They put out a message on Twitter, inviting Sean on an all-expenses- paid
trip from London to Los Angeles, to meet and dance with them. When Sean's friends first told him
about the search for dancing man, he figured it was a bit of nonsense which would soon blow over,
and decided not to bother doing anything about it.
But the movement got bigger and bigger. Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the women
- all 1,700 of them - started raising money to throw him an extra-special party in LA. He went to the
party in California. Sean had assumed that just a few people would turn up, but he realised his
mistake as soon as he saw over 1,000 people queuing to get into the nightclub! Sean danced all night
and the story of how he and the women's group in California took a stance against cyberbullying
was reported around the world. As a result of the event, some of the women set up Dance Free
Movement, an online forum where anyone who felt they had been bullied or victimized could
receive support. The 'dancing man' himself has become a fundraiser for several anti-bullying
charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something which started out so
badly, had become such a positive movement. He said that he had actually never really thought
about the people who posted the original images, concluding that they must have their own
insecurities, to put the spotlight on someone else so maliciously. Sean certainly had the last laugh.
We are often told that the best idea is not to give bullies any attention, but it may be that the best
way to deal with cyberbullying is to act as these women did and be brave enough to make it clear
that we are uncomfortable with this kind of behaviour, that we disagree with what is being said and
that bullying is completely unacceptable.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or
course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest
they work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to
take action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth.
This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and
defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating
everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first
names. This concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too
seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a
consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.
Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships
are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may
resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is
considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With older people, it is also rude to ask
how old they are, why they are not married or why they do not have children. It is also impolite to
ask people how much they have paid for something, unless there is a very good reason for asking.
33. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Things to do in Australia B. Australian culture
C. A story about Australia D. Australian culture shock
34. The word "them" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.
A. circumstances B. options C. Australians D. students
35. In paragraph 3, most adult Australians call each other by their first names because______.
A. Australians restrict class discrimination
B. Australians get on well with each other
C. Calling each other by their first names makes them friendlier
D. Australians are difficult to remember people's surnames
36. The word "critical" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to______.
A. complimentary B. faultfinding C. grateful D. appreciate
37. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Students in Australia will be expected to form their own opinions.
B. Australians are prepared to accept a range of opinions.
C. Asking someone what they earn is considered fairly polite.
D. A teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do.

correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 38 to 42.
In an educational context, the term ‘learner independence’ has gained increasing importance in
recent years. It is of particular (38) _______ to language learning and commonly refers to the way
students confidently control and organise their own language learning process. While (39)_______
people seem to have an almost instinctive flair for languages, others have to rely on strategies to
maximise their skills and learn a foreign language more effectively.
The main thing to remember is that becoming a truly independent learner ultimately depends above
all on taking responsibility for your own learning and being prepared to take every opportunity
available to you to learn. You also increase your chances of (40) _______ by learning according to
your own needs and interests, using all available resources. Research shows that learners (41)
_______ adopt this approach will undoubtedly manage to broaden their language abilities
considerably and, (42) _______, are more likely to achieve their objectives in the longer term.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or
course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest
they work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to
take action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth.
This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and
defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating
everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first
names. This concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too
seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a
consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.
Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships
are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may
resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is
considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With older people, it is also rude to ask
how old they are, why they are not married or why they do not have children. It is also impolite to
ask people how much they have paid for something, unless there is a very good reason for asking.
