Questions 37 – 39 refer to the following text.
It all happened about two months ago. I was in the girls’ changing room belting out my favorite
song when my music teacher walked in. She commented that I had a mellifluous voice but I did
not think much about it. The next thing I knew, she had signed me up for the Teachers’ Day
Singing Contest. When I first learnt about it, I was flabbergasted and protested immediately.
On the big day, my heart skipped a beat when I heard my name being called. Biting my lip
nervously, I strode onto the stage gingerly, my hands clammy from perspiration. “God, please
help me!” I prayed desperately. However, when I saw the countless pairs of eyes staring at me,
the rubber band of stress in me snapped.
I had always been an awfully shy person who disliked any form of attention. I hardly spoke up in
class or participated in group activities. Thus, it was not surprising that my history teacher of two
years did not even know my name. Being in the limelight stressed me out, so asking me to
perform on stage in front of the whole school was as good as telling me to jump off a plane
without a parachute.
Standing on the stage, I looked at the audience with mute horror. The music had started playing
but I could not utter a single word. An irrational fear overwhelmed me, causing my heart to
palpitate so fast that it might just leap out from my mouth. I had never felt more nervous and
embarrassed in my life before. How I wished the ground would open up and swallow me.
I took a deep breath and asked the judges if I could start again. Perhaps out of pity, they agreed
readily. The familiar music played once more. Shutting my eyes, I blocked out all negative
thoughts in my mind and sang my heart out. To my surprise, the audience were so blown away
that they gave me a rapturous ovation. Happiness bubbled up inside me as I walked off the
stage. Although I could not see my own face, I knew I was glowing in delight.
38. What happened when she was on the stage for the first time while the music had begun?
A. Her voice didn’t come out.
B. She felt totally embarrassed.
C. The audience were all amazed.
D. She was frightened to look at the audience.
Conference calls have become one of the most preferred means of communication for
businesses, especially to keep in touch with clients, investors, colleagues and other
stakeholders who might be spread across different parts of the world. Conferencing
services are not just for businesses but also for ordinary individuals who may want to
connect with a group of friends or family members.
Conference call service providers host something called a conference bridge, which is a
server that can connect multiple telephone lines at the same time. It is the bridge that
callers dial into to get connected to the teleconference. All you need is an ordinary
telephone line to start telephone conferencing with any number of people located
anywhere in the world. Most teleconferencing service providers have the technology to
allow up to 99 participants on a single call. If you need a larger event, that is also possible
with assistance from the service provider.
The main advantage is that you can cut down on the travel expense and time to a
considerable extent. A voice conference can also be recorded and played back at a later
date. There are also facilities such as participant polling and surveys through the call.
Conference calling helps save time, money as well as reduce the greenhouse gas
emissions due to air and auto travel. Modern technology also allows high level of data
security for the calls.
41. From the text, we know one of advantages of taking call conference is that ....
A. it can be done anywhere and anytime you want
B. it helps to communicate with local people abroad
C. it can occupy more than hundreds participants on a single call
D. it can be used for some government elections to do the polling
42. “... is that you can cut down on the travel expense and time to a considerable extent.”
(paragraph 4)
The underlined phrase has the closest meaning with ....
A. maximize
B. remove
C. reduce
D. stop
Questions 43 – 45 refer to the following information. (procedure: manuals)
I would like to spend a year in the UK to gain further experience in securities investment with a
British bank, and believe that my experience, training, and language skills would prove useful to
your organizations. My employer encourages all its staff to spend a year abroad and Mr. Luers

I would be grateful if you could send me an application form and further information about the
posts currently available. If you need any further information, I can be contacted by email on

From its luxurious architectural style to historical value, Lawang Sewu has many stories to
tell. It was first established by Dutch to be used as the head office of railway company,
Nederlandsch Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS). But in 1942, this building was taken
over by Japanese and turned into prison and torment place where many people died terribly.
Due to its tragic history, no wonder the name of Lawang Sewu is always associated to the
spooky haunted mansion among local people. Rumor has it that there are many ghosts
sighting in this place.
Regardless its notorious spine-tingling stories that are circulated, many people like to go
there to take pictures because of its resemblance to European building style which is
considered to be unique in Indonesia. Semarang government also play role in making
Lawang Sewu become one of the most popular colonial nostalgia tourism. They have done
their work very well by doing renovation without making any significant changes to its original
architecture version.
Craig Douglas Bellamy (born 13 July 1979) is a Welsh former footballer who played as
a forward. He is currently a pundit for Sky Sports.
Born in Cardiff, Bellamy began his career with Norwich City. He went on to play
for Coventry City and Newcastle United, before spending half a season on loan
at Celtic in 2005. He returned to the Premier League later that year, playing for Blackburn
Rovers, Liverpool, West Ham United and Manchester City.
During his career, Bellamy won the Championship, the League Cup, the Scottish
Cup and the Community Shield. He also was a runner-up in the FA Cup and Champions
League. He was at times criticized for his behavior on and off the pitch, but has
accumulated millions of pounds for charity and also established a football academy
in Sierra Leone.
He made his senior debut for Wales in 1998 and over the next fifteen years gained 78
caps for his country and scored 19 goals. He was the Wales captain from 2007 to 2011,
when he stepped down from the role due to injuries. Bellamy retired from international
football, following the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. He was also a
member of the Great Britain Olympic team at the 2012 Olympics in London, appearing
five times and scoring once.
Craig Bellamy made a name for himself in British football as a firebrand journeyman,
playing for everyone from Celtic to Liverpool, Newcastle to Manchester City and many
clubs in between. At the height of his career in 2008 he saw an opportunity not to make
profit, but make a difference by establishing the Craig Bellamy Foundation. The
organization works to educate young children in Sierra Leone through soccer to help lift
them out of poverty and give them a pathway to a brighter future.
I have pleasure in enclosing an invitation for our annual award ceremony, which will take
place on 14 December. As one of our distinguished ex-students, we wondered if you

subject of your choice.
We would also like to invite you to a formal dinner after the ceremony. This will be held
in the Principal’s Lodgings, at 6:30 to 7:00 p.m.
We would be delighted if you are able to accept our invitation. I look forward to hearing
from you.

Dear Bram,
It has been a long time since we exchanged letters. In this letter I am giving you an
exhilarating experience of my camping trip.
I, along with six schoolmates, went camping to Bir in Himachal Pradesh. It was a seven-
day trip. We went to Delhi by train and after a day's stay left for Bir early in the morning
by bus and reached there by evening. We camped out in the woods. The nights were
mostly clear and we enjoyed the beauty of the moon, the stars and the sky, It was
wonderful to see the night sky, as there was not an iota of pollution in the hill area. We
also sat around the campfire and told stories and jokes.
We went for long walks and also went trekking. The natural beauty of this place is really
worth seeing. There are pine trees all around Bir and a small river flows, winding its way
through the valleys and hills. As this place is very calm and quiet, we could very clearly
hear the chirping of birds and movement of the water.
It was really a great time for all of us. I wish you were with us. When you come to
Ahmedabad next time, we shall plan a similar camping trip again. Pay my regards to your
parents.
Yours sincerely,
David
