SAMPLE TEST
DICTATION
He was not at all afraid of dying but he was angry at being trapped on this hill which was only utilizable as a place to die. If we could have gotten clear, he thought. If we could have made them come up the long valley or if we could have broken loose across the road it would have been all right. If he had known how many men in history have had to use a hill to die on it would not have cheered him any for, in the moment he was passing through, men are not impressed by what has happened to other men in similar circumstances any more than a widow of one day is helped by the knowledge that other loved husbands have died. Whether one has fear of it or not, one's death is difficult to accept. Sordo had accepted it but there was no sweetness in its acceptance even at fifty-two, with three wounds and him surrounded on a hill.
He joked about it to himself but he looked at the sky and at the far mountains and he swallowed the wine and he did not want it. If one must die, he thought, and clearly one must, I can die. But I hate it.
Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind, but living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky.
E. Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls
TEST 1
SECTION 1
READING COMPREHENSION
10 questions, 45 min
Instructions: Read the extract carefully and then answer the ten questions below. Select the right option (A, B, C, D) basing your choice only on the text. On your answer sheet, fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen.
Leonardo da Vinci's works of art made him world-famous. But there was far more to this great man of ideas than just the Mona Lisa's pretty face.
Leonardo is often thought of primarily as an artist, and with masterpieces such as The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa to his credit, his place in art history is assured. Yet his notebooks, filled with his strange spidery writing, show that his main interests lay elsewhere - in engineering and technology.
The notebooks are full of drawings and designs for all kinds of inventions - from calculating machines to tanks, from parachutes to helicopters. If his pioneering work on anatomy is also taken into consideration, it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses of all time.
Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl, Leonardo was given only a rudimentary education. After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio, he set up as a freelance artist. Some of the work he did still survives, and reveals a stunning combination of technical skills with very careful observation. It also reveals an emerging fascination with technology, with technical drawings of equipment of all kinds. Leonardo was particularly fascinated by the technology of warfare. At this time, Florence was at war with the Pope, and Leonardo realised that this was an opportunity to make some serious money with his new inventions for better guns and other military equipment. However, the war ended before anything could come of his plans and he returned to his painting.
But Leonardo had had enough of life in Florence, especially the intellectual elite whom he blamed for his relative lack of employment. He began to feel he would be more appreciated elsewhere. At the age of thirty, he left his home town and eventually moved to Milan, where he spent seventeen years under the patronage of Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. Here he continued to combine his scientific and technological work with his painting, which was increasingly influenced by his interest in the mathematics of perspective and proportion. During this period, he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons and flame-throwers.

Dreams
What is a dream? Some dreams (1) ________ totally trivial, like the idle wanderings of a brain off-duty, and it is not (2) ________ that skeptics say they are best forgotten. But other dreams cannot be so easily dismissed. These are the very frightening ones we wish we could (3) ________ as "only dreams"; as parents urge their children to do with nightmares, but often their impression is so strong that the (4) ________ continues to haunt us for years. There are other dreams of such beauty and joy that we would not have (5) ________ them, and still others so vivid that we wonder whether they could be visions of another (6) ________ or glimpses into some previous life. A few actually predict the future. Is there anything they all have (7) ________ ?
Although science is still a long way from having any comprehensive (8) ________ of dreams, one finding that has emerged from modern research is that the majority of dreams seem in some way to (9) ________ things that have preoccupied our minds during the previous day or two. Sometimes this is easy to see, but it is equally true even of those fantastic dreams that seem worlds away from our ordinary life and thoughts, like being (10) ________ down the street by a tiger or conversing with a dead person. Dreams express themselves in a special kind of picture (11) ________ . Once this language is understood, it can be seen that the tiger symbolized someone or something we found frightening the day or so before the dream, while the (12) ________ person appeared perhaps in order to remind us of an idea he or she gave us many years ago, which has immediate relevance to our present life. Dreams reflect not only actual happenings, but also a whole host of thoughts and feelings that passed us by during the day because we were too (13) ________ or unwilling to catch them. In fact, the dreaming mind may be compared to a (14) ________ director, picking up things from waking life that need more attention than we have given them and reflecting on them in depth by composing stories. In these stories, cartoon-style pictures and all kinds of other devices are used to express what we are feeling deep down inside about ourselves, other people, and the quality of our lives generally. And this alone, even if we went no further, would be an excellent reason for not merely brushing dreams aside, for is there any (15) ________ being whose life would not be improved by a little additional reflection?

The Challenge of Exploration
In the summer of 1275, Marco Polo reached Shangtu, China. It was the end of a gruelling three-year journey. During the journey, Marco Polo came close to losing his life more than a few times. Yet he persisted and finally succeeded in reaching his goal: the kingdom of Kublai Khan.
On August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus left Europe to explore the unknown reaches of the Atlantic Ocean. Believing the earth to be flat, many feared that Columbus would fall off the edge of the world. Yet Columbus persevered. He did not reach his goal, Asia. Instead, he opened up a vast new world, the Americas.
Every explorer needs a vision, a goal.
What drives explorers to leave the security of the known world and face the dangers of the unknown?
