For questions 1-5, listen to a talk about depression among students and decide whether these statements are True (T) or False (F) according to what you hear. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10 pts) 1. The number of students with anxiety increased by 135% in eight years. F 2. College students experiencing several mental health problems doubled by over 60%. T 3. According to Dr Lipson, traditional college years, a key developmental time, coincides with the age of onset for lifelong mental illnesses. T 4. Most people suffering from their mental health crises will have them after 24. F 5. In the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns and school closures have resulted in many students worrying about their uncertain future. T TRANSCRIPT Rates of depression among college students have surged in the past decade. A new study from Boston University reports that the number of students experiencing anxiety or depression more than doubled between 2013 and 2021. They found that the number of students suffering from anxiety jumped by 110 per cent. The number of students with depression skyrocketed by 135 per cent over the eight-year period of the study. In 2021, over 60 per cent of students met the criteria for having some form of mental illness. This is double the rate from eight years ago. Alarm bells are now ringing among mental health therapists. However, the number of students seeking therapy has fallen by 18 per cent. Rates of depression among students had been on an upward trend even before 2013. Researcher Dr Sarah Lipson said: "College is a key developmental time. The age of onset for lifetime mental health problems also directly coincides with traditional college years." She said: "Living in a new setting, and away from
2 home, can often create overwhelming and stressful circumstances." She added that 75 per cent of lifetime mental health problems will be present in people by the age of 24. Dr Lipson cited the COVID-19 pandemic, the loneliness of lockdowns, and school closures as factors that exacerbated this mental health crisis. Many students fear for their future, which they see as being increasingly full of uncertainty. Part 2. For questions 6 –10, you will hear a radio news report about ‘Google’, a popular Internet search engine. Listen and answer the questions. Use NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS for each answer in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10 pts) 6. What way did Google rely on to market its product? (by) word of mouth 7. What position did Google achieve last week as the Internet search engine for America Online? world largest service provider / the world's largest service provider 8. What group of people was mentioned to favor Google as a search engine? academics 9. What verb is the word ‘google’ said to be replacing? (to) browse 10. Who invented the original term ‘googol’? A mathematician’s nephew / An American mathematician’s nephew / A nine-year-old boy/A nephew of a mathematician TRANSCRIPT Presenter: Internet browsing is not conceivable without search engines – the various web pages which help us find our way around the stupendous amount of cyber-locations in the World- Wide Web. And, since the early nineties, hundreds of search engines have come and gone. One, however, has achieved a kind of success that even New-Tech giants Microsoft are envious of: its name has become synonymous with the verb “search”. Anna Mills has the report. Woman: He may seem the most powerful man on the planet, but Bill Gates has not yet managed the ultimate achievement in the New Technology industry: turning a product into a common word. The first such honour is falling to Google, the Internet search engine devised by two Stanford PhD nerds, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The success of Google has come about through the most timeless form of marketing: word of mouth. The site has for some time been the default tool for millions of people looking for anything they want to find online, from obscure quotations to brass lamps. And there are increasing signs that the business is growing a commercial sharpness to match the blade it uses to cut through Internet junk. Last week, Google secured a place as the Internet search engine for America Online, the world's largest service provider, capping its stealthy rise to the top. But its success stretches far beyond the world of the Internet. In these dog days of the long university summer break, I was up in the nearly deserted university library when I heard one professor say to another, "Me, I'm just googling around". I knew what he meant. It wasn't that he was totally idle, but he wasn't really
3 engaged in sharply focused research, either. He was following leads from one source to another, happily wandering through the archive, not knowing quite what he would find next. Google – the search engine favoured by most academics – seems destined to be one of those proprietary labels that becomes a word, a brand (like Hoover) that loses its initial capital letter. And the word itself is, slowly but surely, replacing the verb "to browse", the paper-based metaphor that electronic catalogues use, as if you were fingering the spines at some antiquarian bookstall. "Googling" is a different kind of sampling, coming across relevant findings amongst an impossibly huge amount of information. The company name is a corruption of "googol", spelt g- double o-g-o-l, the word apparently coined by the nine-year-old nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner to refer to the number represented by one followed by 100 zeros, back in the 1940s. Little did he know that in the early 21st century, the use of the term would become so commonplace amongst academics and laymen alike. Part 3. For questions 11–15, you will hear part of a radio discussion about the sport of Indoor Climbing. Listen and select the best answer A, B, C or D. (10 pts) 11.

TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: Today we're looking at the sport of indoor climbing and with me here in the studio I have the American climber Tom Lake and the London-based sports Journalist Amy Styles. Tom, indoor wall climbing in the USA is on the up, isn't it? What type of person does it appeal to? Tom: Well, according to a recent survey, nearly nine million Americans now go indoor climbing each year, and even if the number of climbing gyms in the US doubled, we reckon it still wouldn't have reached saturation point. Indoor climbers are different from traditional climbers. The style is more explosive, more athletic. And the sport seems to be particularly attractive to 13- to 21-year-olds. Maybe that's because it feels more egalitarian than outdoor climbing, with the regulars in most gyms offering advice and encouragement, rather than trying to outdo anybody. I mean, there's no race to get to the top in indoor climbing. I: But there are games you can play on the wall, aren't there, Amy? Amy: Oh yes, games on the climbing wall are fun and create interest and usually extend the length of the workout. For example one popular game is called 'add on' and basically two climbers of similar ability - you know, it could be two novices or two old-hands - begin by agreeing on the first sequence of moves. The first climber gets on the wall and climbs this sequence of moves. When he finishes, though, he then adds one more move to the sequence, so the next person has a bit more to do, and so on. You mark the moves with chalk or memorise them if that's part of the game. It's a great game for learning sequences, and that's the real point of it actually because that's something all indoor climbers have to do. I: So what type of people are we talking about in London, Amy? A: At the climbing wall I go to in London - which I think is fairly typical - the climbers are mostly of student age. And let's face it, climbing indoors is cheaper and less time-consuming than venturing outdoors at weekends with expensive equipment, and that's a big part of the appeal. To me they seem to be, like, the well-educated big brothers and sisters of the inner-city teenage skateboard crowd - it kind of picks up on that scene and all that goes with it. $0 it's quite a rough-and-ready environment really, and the atmosphere is also kind of sociable - but people take the climbing pretty seriously for all that. I: But can climbing up a wall really be compared with climbing up a rock face, Tom? T: The lack of natural rock isn't necessarily a problem. I mean it's not a blank wall, there are plastic hand and foot holds and plastic obstacles to negotiate too. You're never more than a couple of metres off the ground,
