Sample
Part 1

Read the text and the sentences. Match the numbers (1-6) to the letters
(A-C). You can use each letter more than once
There is one example

A –
There are some new technologies that are being created to help people
to be able to smell and taste better. Electronic noses are an old idea
Some scientists want to let people smell things over the phone. However,
this technology is still many years away. Scientists also want to create
technology for taste. One new idea is a machine that sends a message
to the brain. This message will make our tongues think we are eating food
We will be able to taste the food, however, right now we will only be able
to taste basic tastes, like salty and sweet
B –
People have worn glasses for centuries to help them see. The first glasses
were made in Italy in the 1200’s. Now, scientists are making new glasses
that will help even more. One new type of glasses uses cameras,
headphones and electronic maps to help people see. Many people who
are blind can still see light and dark shapes. This technology makes the
light and dark shapes easier to see. The map system works like a
computer. It tells a person how big an object is
C –
Many scientists are also working on technology to help deaf people hear
better. For example, some scientists are making clothes that will help
people hear. One idea is a shirt that uses the skin to hear. A computer
listens to sound, then the sound is made into vibrations. These are small
movements. The shirt catches the vibrations. The brain, where we think,
then makes these small vibrations into words. It is a very new idea, but it
could help millions of people around the world.

Part 2

Read the text and then circle the correct answer A, B or C. There is one
example

The United Arab Emirates has a long and beautiful history. Experts say that
humans have lived here for thousands of years. People have discovered old
ruins throughout the UAE, including Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, near the Hajar
Mountains and in Abu Dhabi. The discovery of old human bones, ancient
cooking pots and even jewelry shows that in the UAE, long ago, people used
to make amazing things that can still be found today
Ras Al Khaimah has an amazing history. One of the most interesting sites that
still exists today is Dhayah Fort. This ancient fort was built around 2000 years
ago. People used to live in this area of the UAE, because it has always had
fertile land. Long ago many people came from Europe, Africa and China to
trade. Dhayah Fort is a great historical site to visit
Another historical site in Ras Al Khaimah is Qasr Al Zabba or ‘Sheba’s Palace’.
The ruins of this ancient site are the oldest and only known palace of its kind in
the UAE. A lot of mystery surrounds this palace, especially around the date it
was built. Some believe it was built around 2000 years ago, but others say it
was made only a few hundred years ago, but the exact time is not known
Either way, Qasr Al Zabba or ‘Sheba’s Palace’ is an amazing historical site to
visit
