Section A
In this section there are several passages followed by some questions or unfinished staments, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.
Text A
In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees. As a result, more than 80% of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan in order to go to university. They use the loan to pay for tuition fees, books and living expenses. Although the interest on student loans is quite low, it begins as soon as the student receives the loan. The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with debts of around £12,000. Students of medicine, who study for longer, usually have debts of more than £20,000. That is a lot of money. It means graduates cannot afford to buy a house for many years. They even struggle to pay rent on a flat, because they have to start paying back the student loan when they reach the April after graduating (or after leaving a course). If you start to earn over £15,000 a year, the government takes repayments directly from your monthly salary. Is it any surprise, therefore, that the average British person does not leave their parents’ home until they are 30 years old? You might think that a British person with a degree will find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in “white-collar jobs” seem to have a degree these days, so there is a lot of competition. Also, British companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper. Like everyone else, graduates usually have to start at the bottom and work their way up. That can be very frustrating for them, since they are often over-qualified for the work they are doing. While at university, they had dreams of getting an exciting, challenging job. Therefore, life after university ends up being quite disappointing for a lot of graduates. All of the above is beginning to make British people question whether a university degree is really worth the money. Even before the credit crunch started, the BBC stated, “The number of British students at UK universities has fallen for the first time in recent history... from 1.97 million in 2007 to 1.96 million in 2008.” It looks like the figures will continue to decline, since loan companies are now telling some students that there are no loans available for them. Forecasts are that between 2009 and 2019 there will be a fall of 6% in the number of 18-25 year-old university applicants across the UK. Students have always been seen as not having a lot of money, but “student poverty” is now considered a real problem in the UK. Most British students expect to get a loan, part-time job or summer job. Worse than that, however, is the fact student leaders report there are increasing numbers of students turning to crime to support themselves financially. By contrast, things are now easier for students from other countries coming to study in the UK, since the value of the British pound has fallen. More international students come to Britain each year. The British universities offer more and more of the available places to richer international students rather than poorer British students. Some British people fear that, one day, there won’t be any university places left for British students at all.
21.
Which statement is true about the student loan?
A) Students begin to pay the loan at the very beginning of the first semester in university.
B) More than 80% of students in UK take out a student loan to go to university.
C) Student loan poses great pressure on students after their graduation.
D) Loan companies may see a fall of 6% in the number of university student loan applicants.
22.
The average British person does not leave their parents’ home until they are 30 years old because ________.
A) they have to pay for the student loan after graduation and have difficulty in affording a house themselves
B) the housing price is too high to afford for an average British person
C) British people find it hard to find a well-paid job
D) the government takes the housing repayments directly from people’s monthly salary
23.
The reasons that make British people question about the value of a university degree include the following EXCEPT ________.
A) a university education is a huge expense for an average British person
B) a university degree does not guarantee a well paid job
C) university graduates have to start at the bottom and work their way up like anyone else
D) students cannot get a loan because of the credit crunch
24.
International students coming to study in the UK increase because of the following reasons EXCEPT ________.
A) the British pounds have depreciated
B) British universities offer more places to international students
C) the average British students cannot afford a university education
D) the richer international students can easily get admitted in British universities

B) Worried.
C) Objective.

Text B
In McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission (1995) the Supreme Court overturned a statute requiring any person who prints a notice or flyer promoting a candidate or an issue to identify the communication’s author by name. Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for the majority, grounded his opinion in an account of meaning he takes from an earlier case (First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti): “The inherent worth of . . . speech in terms of its capacity for informing the public does not depend upon the identity of its source, whether corporation, association, union, or individual.” Or, in other words, a writing or utterance says what it says independently of who happens to say it; the information conveyed does not vary with the identification of the speaker. There are at least two problems with this reasoning. First, it is not true that a text’s meaning is the same whether or not its source is known. Suppose I receive an anonymous note asserting that I have been betrayed by a friend. I will not know what to make of it — is it a cruel joke, a slander, a warning, a test? But if I manage to identify the note’s author — it’s a friend or an enemy or a known gossip — I will be able to reason about its meaning because I will know what kind of person composed it and what motives that person might have had. In the same way, if I am the recipient of a campaign message supporting a candidate or a policy, my assessment of what I am reading or hearing will depend on my knowledge of the sender. Is he, she or it an industry representative, a lobbyist, the A.C.L.U., the Club for Growth? The identity of the speaker is part of the information and is therefore part — a large part — of the meaning. “Consider the source” is not only commonplace advice; it is a theory of interpretation. The practice of withholding the identity of the speaker is strategic, and one purpose of the strategy (this is the second problem with anonymity) is to avoid responsibility and accountability for what one is saying. Anonymity, Martha Nussbaum, a professor of law and philosophy at the University of Chicago observes, allows Internet bloggers “to create for themselves a shame-free zone in which they can inflict shame on others.” The power of the bloggers, she continues, “depends on their ability to insulate their Internet selves from responsibility in the real world, while ensuring real-world consequences” for those they injure. There has always been a standard honorific description of the Internet: it is the ultimate realization of “the marketplace of ideas,” that non-physical space dedicated “to the emergence of truth.” Cass Sunstein invokes this hoary metaphor only to call it into question. Rumors cascade, Sunstein explains, when someone relies on what someone else has said and then spreads a falsehood as truth. The Internet multiplies the effect exponentially: an “initial blunder . . . can start a process by which a number of people participate in creating serious mistakes.” Rather than producing truth, the free and open marketplace of the Internet “will lead many people to accept damaging and destructive falsehoods,” and unless there is “some kind of chilling effect on false statements,” the “proper functioning of democracy itself” may be endangered. An unconstrained marketplace of ideas is often said to facilitate informed decision-making by providing all the information, even erroneous information, that is out there. But how, asks Brian Leiter in a powerful essay, is the process of deliberation helped by the anonymous poster of a false report? The Internet and the real world, Leiter concludes, “would both be better places” if Internet providers were held accountable for the scurrilous and harmful material they disseminate. How might that be managed? The answer given by the authors in this volume involves the repeal or modification of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which says that no provider of an Internet service shall be treated as the publisher of information provided by another. That is, the provider is not liable for what others have said, and courts have interpreted that section as immunizing providers even when they “have knowledge that [a statement] is defamatory or invasive of privacy.” Saul Levmore suggests that immunity might be conditioned on the willingness of a provider either to take down a message after notice of its falsity or defamatory character has been given, or “to enforce non-anonymity” and thus open the way for an injured party to seek redress.
26.
What did the Supreme Court regulate in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission (1995)?
A) Any person who advocates a candidate or an issue must identify the advocatee by name.
B) Any person who publishes any information shall identify himself/herself by name.
C) Any person who publishes communications need not identify himself by name.
D) Any person who promotes a candidate or an issue need not identify the advocatee by name.
27.
The author holds the following arguments EXCEPT ________.
A) a writing or utterance says what it says independently of who happens to say it
B) the information conveyed varies with the identification of the source
C) the information receiver will reason about its meaning with the knowledge of the source
D) the identity of the speaker is part of the interpretation of the message
28.
Which statement is true about anonymity on the Internet according to the author?
A) Withholding the identity of the speaker is a protection of free speech.
B) Anonymity is a practice that avoids responsibility and accountability for one’s utterances.
C) Anonymity is the ultimate realization of the marketplace of ideas.
D) Anonymity will lead many people to accept damaging and destructive falsehoods, and lead to the emergence of truth.
29.
What is Saul Levmore’s idea about the accountability of Internet service providers?
A) Internet service providers should all be held accountable for the scurrilous and harmful material they disseminate.

Text C
Arthur stood at the gates and waited for the man to come. He was early today, keen to get started. Finally, the man arrived and unlocked the gate. He pulled at the heavy iron frame and it slowly opened. “Mornin’ Albert, how are you feelin’ today?” “Lucky.” “This could be the one, do you think?” the man enthused. “Aye. Ah think ye could be right.” Albert smiled and the man returned to the gatehouse. Albert walked slowly up the driveway and then he stopped. He couldn’t remember where he had finished yesterday. His memory wasn’t what it used to be. He reached into his overcoat pocket and pulled out his map. He checked the last entry. John Macleod, 23rd September. That was three days ago. He’d either forgotten to update his list or he hadn’t been at all. “You’re a bloody fool, Arthur.” He shrugged his shoulders. “Oh well, I’ll just have to start from Mr Macleod.” Using the map for guidance, he made his way to the desired plot and set to work. After he’d finished a row, his hip started playing up. He sat down on a nearby bench and rubbed his leg. Then he unwrapped his lunch. As he chewed on his sandwich, he started thinking about the old days. Sometimes he could remember her quite clearly, her face right at the front of his mind, her eyes and mouth smiling at him. But then there were days when he could barely picture her at all. He had to write things down, but it was hard to do that all the time. Suddenly, he started to panic. He’d forgotten her name. This was his greatest fear. “What was it Agnes ...? Edna ...? No, that’s not right ... Alice ...?” Names were flying in and out of his head but none of them seemed quite right. “Awe for Christ sake ... just think ...” he rubbed his forehead. “Elise ... Amanda ...” It was no use. The only thing he could do was to carry on and hope that the name would pop back into his mind. He finished his lunch, pushed himself to his feet and returned to where he had stopped. He looked down at the stone in front of him. William Rennie 1867-1922. “Well that’s not her,” he thought. He continued along the line. Margaret Forsyth, 1899-1948. He stared at the headstone. “Could she be a Margaret? No ... I don’t think so.” He moved on to another, and then another. Row after row he searched, hoping that he’d come across something that would awaken his memory. But he still couldn’t remember her name. This was the longest he’d forgotten it. He didn’t know what to do. He sat down again and rested his hip. He took another few swigs of whisky and examined his map. The walking and the strain of trying to remember were tiring him out. He was breathing heavy. He started on another row, Robert Hughes 1907-1979. It was beginning to get dark. He was about to give up when he stopped at a small stone. It read, To my Beloved Edith 1900-1947 He couldn’t breath. He staggered back and then steadied himself. “Edith ... That’s her name. That is it.” he thought. And then he realised. “Oh my God, Edith ... I’ve found you.” He bent down and touched the stone with the back of his hand, the way he used to touch her face. “My beloved ... Edith ... I’ve been looking for you for a long, long time. How did you no help me find you?” He rested his cheek on the cold marble and started to weep. It was like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He looked at the plot again. It was covered in weeds, and moss had started growing inside the inscription. “You’ve got yourself in a right old mess. You need me to look after you don’t you?” He picked at the moss with his nails and muttered under his breath. Suddenly, he stopped. He remembered about the man. Using the stone for support, he slowly pushed himself up again. “I’ve got to go, my love. But I’ll be back tomorrow. I’ll bring you flowers, my Edith.” He blew her a silent kiss and made his way back through the rows of crosses and carved angels to the entrance.

Text D
The city of Rio de Janeiro is infamous for the fact that one can look out from a precarious shack on a hill in a miserable favela and see practically into the window of a luxury high-rise condominium. Parts of Brazil look like southern California. Parts of it look like Haiti. Many countries display great wealth side by side with great poverty. Today, however, Brazil’s level of economic inequality is dropping at a faster rate than that of almost any other country. Between 2003 and 2009, the income of poor Brazilians has grown seven times as much as the income of rich Brazilians. Poverty has fallen during that time from 22 percent of the population to 7 percent. Several factors contribute to Brazil’s astounding feat. But a major part of Brazil’s achievement is due to a single social program called conditional cash transfers, as adopted in many countries now including Mexico. The idea is to give regular payments to poor families, in the form of cash or electronic transfers into their bank accounts, if they meet certain requirements. The requirements are: families must keep their children in school and go for regular medical checkups, and mom must attend workshops on subjects like nutrition or disease prevention. The payments almost always go to women, as they are the most likely to spend the money on their families. The elegant idea behind conditional cash transfers is to combat poverty today while breaking the cycle of poverty for tomorrow. Brazil’s conditional cash transfer programs now covers about 50 million Brazilians, about a quarter of the country. It pays a monthly stipend of about $13 to poor families for each child 15 or younger who is attending school, up to three children. Families can get additional payments of $19 a month for each child of 16 or 17 still in school, up to two children. Families that live in extreme poverty get a basic benefit of about $40, with no conditions. The program fights poverty in two ways. One is straightforward: it gives money to the poor. This works. And no, the money tends not to be stolen or diverted to the better-off.Brazil and Mexico have been very successful at including only the poor. In both countries it has reduced poverty, especially extreme poverty, and has begun to close the inequality gap. The idea’s other purpose — to give children more education and better health — is longer-term and harder to measure. The program has an evaluation unit and publishes all data. There have also been hundreds of studies by independent academics. The research indicates that conditional cash transfer programs in Mexico and Brazil do keep people healthier, and keep kids in school. In Brazil and Mexico today, malnutrition, anemia and stunting have dropped, as have incidences of childhood and adult illnesses. Maternal and infant deaths have been reduced. Contraceptive use in rural areas has risen and teen pregnancy has declined. But the most dramatic effects are visible in education. Children in the program repeat fewer grades and stay in school longer. Child labor has dropped. In rural areas, the percentage of children entering middle school and high school inscription have risen dramatically. The strongest effects on education are found in families where the mothers have the lowest schooling levels. If conditional cash transfer programs are to work properly, many more schools and health clinics are needed. But governments can’t always keep up with the demand — and sometimes they can only keep up by drastically reducing quality. For skeptics who believe that social programs never work in poor countries and that most of what’s spent on them gets stolen, conditional cash transfer programs offer a convincing rebuttal. Here are programs that help the people who most need help, and do so with very little waste, corruption or political interference. Even tiny, one-village programs that succeed this well are cause for celebration. To do this on the scale that Mexico and Brazil have achieved is astounding.
