As you listen, fill in the missing information. For questions 1- 15, write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS in the spaces provided. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. You will listen twice. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our visit to one of the most famous caves in Vietnam. As you know, this cave is famous for its wildlife, and one of the (1)…………creatures……… you will observe in here is the (2)………small cave cockroach……….. They live mostly on the bird and (3)…………bat droppings………. that are so plentiful in the caves. The guardrails along the trails are covered with these droppings, and this makes a feast for the cockroaches, so be careful where you put your hands. They will not harm you, but it can be a shock if you touch them! Once you are in one of the main caves, look out for the (4)…………green centipedes……….. They will not be on the trail but can often be seen on the wall close by. They feed on (5)…………other insects………. and are fascinating to look at because of their colour, and, of course, their many legs. Please, please do not try to pick one up though; these centipedes have a very nasty (6)…………poisonous bite………... There are also deep red millipedes. These have a fully (7)………rounded shape………., and they look like a (8)………streamlined………….. elongated train with a hundred or so closely packed legs extending right and left. When you get to the large high caves, you should look right up above you for the swifts and bats. The bats in this cave are mostly a type of (9)………dwarf bat……….., which are common in this part of the world. They will be (10)………clustered………. high up against the walls – maybe a hundred or two hundred together. They look like (11)……shadows…….. high on the walls of the cave. They are likely to be very quiet right now, but because there are so many of them together you will have no difficulty (12)………identifying…… them. They sleep all day until they all leave the cave in a
2 (13)…………massive flock……….. on their nightly hunt for flying insects. The swifts are the creatures you can see flying around during the day, especially if they have young ones to feed. They can (14)………navigate………in the darkness here, and will fly outside in ones and twos at dusk to catch small winged insects like mosquitoes. However they tend to return before it is pitch black outside, and they do not hunt at night. The swifts make nests, usually higher up on the (15)………ceiling…….of the cave. Part 2.

Sam: Both my parents are artists. My mom’s a photographer and my dad’s a leathersmith. My mom picked up on my interest in looking at pictures in her fashion magazines and actually taught me to sew when I was pretty young. I would even do clothing designs on paper without realising what I was doing. In high school, I started making my own clothes — mostly altering or adding on to other things because I never liked anything the way it was when I bought it. I also made a lot of jewellery -turquoise was the stone of choice. Interviewer: What did you study at college?
3 Sam: I started out as a jewellery major. After randomly ending up in a textile class focusing on surface design, I realised that I could make my own fabrics and then make clothing out of them. I completely fell in love with all aspects of textile design and had to sort of give up the jewellery thing , even though I still loved it. Maybe I’ll go back to that one day. I ended up as both a fashion design and fibres major. Interviewer: As part of your course, did you have to do any kind of apprenticeship with an established designer? How was that? Sam: The last two and a half years of school, I worked for a small business that makes hand-painted silk clothing, bags and accessories. The owner was actually one of my teachers … there were four of us altogether – I was really lucky she chose me as one of them – and we hand-painted all the fabric, then shipped it off to be sewn in California. It’s good to get this experience — you need it at least as much as you need a college diploma if you’re going to succeed as a designer. Interviewer: So what do you think really inspired you to get into fashion design? Sam: It was something that started when I was really young. One theory I have is that I’ve always been a rather timid person – extremely so in fact. I gradually realised that clothing was something that drew attention to me and made people talk to me so I wouldn’t have to start conversations. This helped me a lot. I think that’s also where my thing for turquoise comes in: it’s such a unique colour and in my experience, people are really interested in it, they’re sort of drawn to it, Interviewer: Can you tell us about your philosophy as far as fashion is concerned? Sam: Fashion design is of course functional. Not that all art isn’t functional in some way, but it’s something you can actually touch and feel and interact with. In a way, it’s sort of like music – its a part of our daily life, and so should be something we really love. I mean, we can kind of be creative through the way we dress or decorate our own bodies. And then you get all this immediate feedback and reactions out of people you meet and their thoughts on what you’re doing. Above all, I just really believe that the right clothing and colour can make you feel better about yourself and can give you more confidence. I think many people dress in a very boring manner in this country — sometimes even ugly – and I just don’t get it. We like to be surrounded by beautiful things so why wouldn’t we want our clothing to be beautiful as well?  Interviewer: How do you now feel about fashion as a business? Sam: I started making clothing because I had to. I had to satisfy a creative need that I couldn’t in any other way. It’s not always that easy though, I think it is important for young artists and designers to know this: everyone gets so much criticism these days for ‘selling out’ or abandoning their principles, but sometimes you have to do certain things, compromise, in order to keep doing the thing that makes you happy. I started making clothing to sell because I needed money, not because that was my goal. I started with the idea that everything would be hand-made and one-of-a-kind, I wanted to do costume and custom
4 orders only. I would love that, but right now it’s just not possible for me. I have to start producing more of one thing because the I can occupy my time in the way I want to.  Part 3. Listen to a piece of BBC news “Apple-FBI iPhone argument getting bigger” and decide the statements are True (T) or False (F). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes. You will listen twice. 21. The iPhone belonged to someone who killed people last month. T / F 22. Apple said unlocking the iPhone would be a threat to its customers. T / F 23. America's Department of Justice (DOJ) is on Apple's side. T / F 24. The DOJ said Apple was putting up technological barriers. T / F 25. The DOJ said Apple was an evil company. T / F TRANSCRIPT There is a big argument in the USA between the technology company Apple and the FBI. The argument is over the iPhone of a killer. In December 2015, 14 people were killed and 22 were seriously injured in a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California. The FBI has the iPhone of one of the terrorists Syed Rizwan Farook. Investigators want Apple to unlock the phone so they can get to information about Farook. They think the information can help them to catch more terrorists. Apple has told the FBI that they will not open the iPhone. Apple's website said that would threaten the security of its customers. Apple also said it would be dangerous because other organisations would want phones opened. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also very angry that Apple will not open the iPhone. It said Apple, "deliberately raised technological barriers" to stop a lawful request from the FBI to help in the "terrorist mass murder of 14 Americans". The DOJ added that: "Apple alone can remove those barriers so that the FBI can search the phone." Apple bosses said the DOJ was giving Apple a bad name. They said the DOJ wanted the public to think that Apple was an evil company for not opening the iPhone. It said: "It seems like disagreeing with the Department of Justice means you must be evil and anti-American." The DOJ said it wants just one iPhone unlocked and that would not invade anyone's privacy. SECTION B. LEXICO – GRAMMAR (20 points) Part 1.
