 SECTION II: READING (3 POINTS)
Part 1. Questions 1 – 8: You are going to read a magazine article about a young mother whose
house was burgled. For questions 1-8, circle the correct answer A, B, C or D.
Lisa Tyler was weary after a long hard day at the pottery factory where she works. But as she approached
her home in the English city of Stoke-on- Trent, her heart lightened; soon she would be having a nice cup
of tea, putting her feet up and watching Friends, her favourite TV series. But first, she needed to change
4 out of her work clothes and pick up her three-year-old son from his grandmother’s house nearby.
As Lisa walked up her garden path, she notice a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A
shiver went down her back. What if it was a burglar? Quietly, she crept round to the back of the house to
see if there was any sign of a break-in. Sure enough, a window was open and someone’s coat was
hanging on the gatepost.
Well, 26-year old Lisa didn’t fancy coming face to face with a burglar, so she ran to a neighbour’s house
and rang the police. But as she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her
and she decided to go back and see what was going on. That’s when she saw a leg coming out of the
downstairs from window. It was a man climbing out. Lisa gasped in shock. The burglar was carrying her
portable television!
14 At this point, Lisa saw red. She didn’t have many possessions and she’d saved long and hard to buy that
set. Besides, nobody was going to stop her watching Friends.
“Oh, no you don’t, she muttered under her breath, as the fury swelled inside her. Without even stopping
to think, she tore across the garden and started shouting at the burglar. “Give me my TV- drop it now!”
She screamed.
Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden. So Lisa threw herself at him and successfully rugby-tackled
him to the ground. The burglar struggled to escape, but Lisa hung on like the best kind of guard dog
despite being punched and kicked. As she looked up, she realized that she recognized the burglar’s face.
She was so surprised that she lost her grip and the burglar got away, leaving the TV behind in the garden.
By the time the police and her father arrived, Lisa was in tears. “I can’t believe you were so foolish,
Lisa,” scolded her father. “You could have been killed”
“I know, but at least he didn’t get my TV,” she replied.
Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school. He was
later caught and jailed for 15 months after admitting burglary and assault. In May last year, Lisa was
given a Certificate of Appreciation by Stafford Police for her outstanding courage and public action. But
in the future she intends to leave household security to a new member of her family, Chan, who is a real
guard dog.

Part 2. Questions 9 – 15: You are going to read an article about the illegal international trade of
whale meat. Seven sentences have been removed from the article. From the sentences A - H, choose
the one which fits each gap 9-15. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.
Eating Endangered Species?
The International Whaling Commission was established in 1946 to manage dwindling stocks of whales.
Quotas were set to limit the number of whales that could be killed each year for commercial use, but
these were often ignored and whale numbers continued to decrease. In 1975, the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) gave full protection to
several species including the blue, grey, humpback and right whales. International pressure on the IWC
continued and in 1986 it finally put a limit on commercial whaling.
(9)________This is achieved by issuing scientific research permits, as killing whales for research is not
forbidden. The stated aim of the Japanese research programme is to establish sustainable whaling in the
Antarctic Ocean. Both Japan and South Korea are also permitted to trade, within their own countries,
whale meat from animals killed as an incidental result of other fishing. (10)_________ Also, in an
attempt to control hunting, individual whales are logged on a DNA register so that they can be identified.
The value of "lethal sampling", that is, the practice of killing whales in order to study them, is a highly
contentious issue. (11)_______ On the other hand, opponents say this information is not strictly
necessary, and moreover, there are better ways to get it. The selling of whale meat from the lethal
sampling to fish markets is purportedly to help fund the research. (12)_______ Now there is evidence to
support their views.
A team of scientists, led by Professor Scott Baker, have used DNA to analyse samples of sushi from
restaurants in Los Angeles and Seoul. (13)_______ The results of the study were handed over to local
and national authorities and have since resulted in criminal proceedings against the Los Angeles
restaurant.
The researchers used DNA sequencing to identify the species of whale and then used DNA profiling —
the same technique used to identify human individuals in criminal forensics — to identify the source of
the meat. (14)_______ In addition, some of the meat purchased in Seoul came from Antarctic minke
whales, a species which is not local to South Korea and must have therefore also been traded illegally.
Although Japanese authorities keep a DNA register of each whale destined to be sold commercially, this
information is not available for monitoring purposes. (15)_______ As the authors state, "The illegal trade
of products from protected species of whales, presumably taken under a national permit for scientific
research, is a timely reminder of the need for independent, transparent and robust monitoring of any
future whaling".
A. The DNA results showed that the whale meat in the Los Angeles restaurant had almost certainly
originated in Japanese 'scientific' whale hunts.
B. However, the export of any whale meat from these countries to the U.S.A. is strictly prohibited.
C. The researchers suggest that urgent action is needed in making this information available to scientists
so further monitoring and analysis of commercially available whale meat can take place.
D. Despite the 1986 ban, Japan has continued to hunt whales legally.
E. Some claim that it is required in order to learn about the eating habits and lifespan of whales.
F. Since the 1986 international moratorium, it has been assumed that there is no international trade in
whale products, but this does not seem to be the case.
G. This claim, however, is disputed by opponents as being a cover for illegal whaling.
H. The sushi was found to be made from the illegally-traded meat of protected whale species.
