Advanced exam Part1-Test 01

1.Fill each of the numbered blanks in the following passage with one suitable word.

In the past castles were normally classified as "military engineering" and banished (1) the architectural scene at once. Today, architects and engineers (2) far more closely linked (3) in the past; we are therefore ready to(4) the idea that, because a castle was designed (5) a well-protected home (6) its occupants, it (7) qualities which we can recognise (8) essentially architectural. Once the cite (9) the castle had been chosen (10) form would be dictated (11) the materials with witch (12) to be built, and the many services (13) had to provide for those (14) its walls.

OUR FOOD IN THE FUTURE
What sort of food are we (0).......(LIKE) -> LIKELY to be eating in the future? Most people, when you ask them a question like that, either say: "There won't be any left," or: "Whatever it is, there won't be much taste in it". Of course there are good reasons for being (16) (PESSIMISM) about the world's food supplies in the future. Nevertheless, not all the experts share the general (17) (DESPOND)
It doesn't mean, however, that our diet will go on being the same, even if new techniques are introduced and social (18) (REVOLT) ensures a more equal (19) (DISTRIBUTE) of wealth and resources. In most (20) (INDUSTRY) countries, one important cause of the trouble is our conservative (21) (PREFER) for meat. It is going to be
(22) (INCREASE) difficult to satisfy this particular taste. After all, we are already in situation where we feed animals with grain to produce high-quality beef, even though the grain would feed the human (23) (POPULATE), and use fish meal to fatten pigs to improve the quality of bacon. While not many of us would relish fish meal for lunch, its (24) (NUTRITION) value is high and the unattractive fish it is made from can be presented to the public in colourful packets of Fish Fingers.
By the time our grandchildren have grown up and are feeding their own families, it seems likely that many of these problems will have been resolved Scientists are already (25) (ABLE) of constructing steaks from vegetable ingredients like Soya beans.

1. A Fly's-eye View

Houseflies are drawn to modern homes, just as they once visited those of our ancestors, (26).... to the chemical odours that signify even the slightest (27).... of decay. Once indoors, the fly has to cope with an environment (28).... illuminated for human eyes. The fluorescent tubes that often light our homes actually flash on and off fifty times a second in sympathy with the electric current. We never notice these fluctuations as our eyes cannot (29).... such small time intervals. However, the fly's eyes react far more quickly and to them the room appears lit by a pulsating strobe. As it buzzes around the human occupants, the fly has to deal with this distracting (30).... of light and darkness. Fortunately for the fly, its superior (31).... of time also makes it difficult to swat. It finds our fastest actions laboriously slow and can easily avoid our clumsy attempts to remove it from our lives.

The Inspiration Game

Many people outside the world of sport would like to know the secret of influencing others to perform beyond even their own expectations. There is a (32).... demand for the most conspicuous creators of contemporary sporting glory to address business seminars on teamwork and morale. But are reputations for motivation skills acquired by luck rather than judgement? There are some motivators whose reputations are clearly (33).... , yet even among these it is difficult to isolate a single secret ingredient. Perhaps the (34).... for a secret method of successful leadership is misguided. Take the case of the great football managers, for example. They are very different in character, but each has an indefinable, commanding (35) The same phenomenon can be observed in any other sport you care to (36).....One can speculate as to how this presence is acquired yet it is difficult to avoid the (37).... that the secret ingredient is as indefinable as sex appeal.
