Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.
Although many students are sick and tired of putting on their school uniform day after day, a uniform does have its advantages. For a start, students have no need to worry about what to put on when they get up in the morning. Students know that in uniform they look more or less the same as their classmates. As a result, their parents don't feel under pressure to provide a huge wardrobe of clothes for them to wear. (26) ______, it seems that children wearing the same colours and styles of clothing gain a sense of belonging, something (27) ______ improves morale at school and reduces levels of violence.
This theory has been supported by a study at a school in Long Beach, California. Staff members there have noticed that since school uniform became compulsory, the number of arguments amongst pupils has dropped by as much as 91%. This suggests that students who are all dressed in the same simple school shirts and trousers are less likely to disagree with one (28)______. On the other hand, Cozette Buckley, an Education Officer from Chicago, holds a rather different view, based on experience in her schools. In her opinion, school uniforms are not a permanent solution but only a (29) ______ aid to playground problems because they do not address the real source of conflict between children. It seems, therefore, (30) ______ by these conflicting findings, that the school uniform debate isn't closed yet!

Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Currently, the biggest threat to Australia sea lion colonies are gillnets, which are invisible, thin mesh nets suspended in the water. Gillnets are used by commercial fisheries to capture sharks. However, Australian sea lions also get snagged in the mesh of gillnets and drown. The only solution to accidental gillnet deaths and other fishery-related deaths of sea lions is to close the areas where sea lions forage for food out at sea and prevent fishing with gillnets in those areas.
Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) worked with the government, scientists and the fishing industry to come up with a solution to ensure sea lion colonies were protected, only brought about by the support of the Australian public.
The distribution of Australia sea lion colonies in South Australia overlaps with a fishery managed by the Federal Government agency, the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA). Due to the proximity between the fishery and sea lion colonies, fishing was killing a high number of sea lions.
The areas of sea directly around sea lion breeding colonies are closed to gillnet fishing, and now, every fishing boat that fishes anywhere near sea lion colonies has to have cameras on board to monitor what is being caught. This means that if a sea lion gets killed, it now gets reported to AFMA. And when a sea lion does get killed, further areas are closed to all gillnet fishing to ensure sea lion colonies do not decline even further.
This means that through the activity of AMCS, our wonderful supporters and other environmental organisations, potentially hundreds of vulnerable Australian sea lions have been protected from drowning in this fishery.
Question 31. Which of the following best serves as the title for the article?
A. Australia Sea Lion Colonies and Gillnets B. How to Use Gillnets to Catch Sea Lions

The recession has brought about an abrupt change of mood on university
campuses up and down the country. A five-year boom in the graduate job market has
been stopped in its tracks and salary expectations. No wonder only one in five
of 16,000 final year students questioned for a survey by High Flyers Research
said that they expected to get a job for which they are qualified by the time
they graduate.Despite the gloom, the financial case for going to university remains compelling. International
surveys continue to show the salary premium enjoyed by UK graduates over those
who choose not to go to university as among the highest in the world. In the
post-recession world, a university degree is likely to be even more of an
advantage to job-seekers than before.But choosing the right degree course and the right university will also
be more important than ever. This does not necessarily mean that students
should go only for job-related degrees, but it will put a premium on marketable
skills. And it may mean that more universities can be expected to follow the
lead of Liverpool John Moores University, which puts all of its undergraduates
through a World of Work (WoW) course designed to give them the problem-solving
and communication skills they’ll need at work.The Times Good University Guide 2010, published by HarperCollins, offers
a wealth of essential information to help candidates to navigate the maze of
university choice, as well as advice on students’ life. It is the most
authoritative guide to universities in the UK and is an essential and
comprehensive tool for students and parents.The online version of the Guide allows students and parents to
create their own individual university rankings and to compare the strengths
and weaknesses of different institutions by sorting universities according to
one of the eight criteria - from student satisfaction to research quality and
degree results. The table sees Oxford maintain its leadership, despite coming
below Cambridge in most of the subject tables. Cambridge has the better record
on student satisfaction, research, entry standards, completion and graduate
destinations, but Oxford’s lead in staffing levels, degree classifications and
particularly in spending on libraries and other student facilities makes the difference.
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The guidelines for students and parents to choose the right university
B. High possibilities for UK undergraduates to get a job for which they are qualified
C. The relationship between the current economic situation and university campuses
D. The comparison of UK graduates’ salaries with those of people without qualifications

been stopped in its tracks and salary expectations. No wonder only one in five
of 16,000 final year students questioned for a survey by High Flyers Research
said that they expected to get a job for which they are qualified by the time
they graduate.Despite the gloom, the financial case for going to university remains compelling. International
surveys continue to show the salary premium enjoyed by UK graduates over those
who choose not to go to university as among the highest in the world. In the
post-recession world, a university degree is likely to be even more of an
advantage to job-seekers than before.But choosing the right degree course and the right university will also
be more important than ever. This does not necessarily mean that students
should go only for job-related degrees, but it will put a premium on marketable
skills. And it may mean that more universities can be expected to follow the
lead of Liverpool John Moores University, which puts all of its undergraduates
through a World of Work (WoW) course designed to give them the problem-solving
and communication skills they’ll need at work.The Times Good University Guide 2010, published by HarperCollins, offers
a wealth of essential information to help candidates to navigate the maze of
university choice, as well as advice on students’ life. It is the most
authoritative guide to universities in the UK and is an essential and
comprehensive tool for students and parents.The online version of the Guide allows students and parents to
create their own individual university rankings and to compare the strengths
and weaknesses of different institutions by sorting universities according to
one of the eight criteria - from student satisfaction to research quality and
degree results. The table sees Oxford maintain its leadership, despite coming
below Cambridge in most of the subject tables. Cambridge has the better record
on student satisfaction, research, entry standards, completion and graduate
destinations, but Oxford’s lead in staffing levels, degree classifications and
particularly in spending on libraries and other student facilities makes the difference.
