The Malaysian Airlines plane MH 370 is not the first disappearance without trace. Even if it is, this is
highly unusual. In 2009, an Air France airbus jet also vanished of radar screen. Wreckage from the lost aircraft
were eventually found in the Atlantic yet the causes of the crash remained mystery until voice and data
recorders were found years later. The final report said human error was partly blamed. “Today aircrafts are
incredibly reliable and you do not get any sudden structure failure in a flight”, Mr. Louis, an aviation expert
in New York said. “It just doesn’t happen. It just won’t happen”, he added. Boeing describes its 777 model a
super star. First flown in 1995, more than a thousand planes now rolled up the production line. It can travel
for 16 hours non-stop and experts point to its impressive safe record with one fatal crash in 5 million flights.
It could take investigators months if not years to determine what exactly happened to the Malaysian aircraft
but experts believe what happened was quick and left the pilot no time to put a distress call.

PART II: Read the passage below and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to each question.
The Beatles became the most popular group in rock music history. This quartet of extraordinary
talented musicians generated a phenomenal number of pieces that won gold records. They inspired a frenzy
that transcended countries and economic strata. While all of them sang, John Lennon and Paul McCartney
wrote the majority of their songs. Originally, Lennon and five others formed a group called the Quarrymen in
1956, with McCartney joining them later that year. George Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney,
together with Stuart Sutcliffe, who played the bass guitar, and Pete Best on the drums, performed together in
several bands for a few years until they finally settled on the Sliver Beatles in 1960. American rock musicians,
such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, influenced Lennon's and McCartney's music, whose first hits consisted
of simple tunes and lyrics about young love, "Love Me Do" and "Please, Please Me". The Beatles' US tour
propelled them to stardom and led to two movies "A Hard Day’s Night” and “Help!”, filmed in 1964 and
1965. The so-called British invasion of the United States was in full swing when they took the top five spots
on the singles chat, followed by the release of their first film.
During the 1960s, their music matured and acquired a sense of melody. The lyrics of their songs became
deeper and gained in both imagination and meaning. Their popularity continued to grow as the Beatles turned
their attention to social problems and political issues in "Nowhere Man" and "Eleanor Rigby". Loneliness and
nostalgia come through in their ballads “Michelle" and "Yesterday", which fully displayed the group's
professional, development and sophistication. Lennon's sardonic music with lyrics written in the first person,
and McCartney's song that created scenarios with off beat individuals, contributed to the character of the
music produced by the group. In addition to their music, the Beatles social trend that popularized hair, Indian
music, and mod dress.
For a variety of reasons, the musicians began to drift apart, and their last concert took place in San
Francisco in 1966. The newspapers and tabloids publicized their quarrels and lawsuits, and the much idolized
group finally disbanded in 1970. However, their albums had outsold those of any other band in history.
Although all of the Beatles continued to perform solo or form new rock groups, alone, none could achieve the

5
recognition and success that they had been able to win together.

PART III: Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
TREES IN TROUBLES
A. Ecologically, big trees are incredibly important. For a start, they sustain countless other species. They
provide shelter for many animals, and their trunks and branches can become gardens, hung with green ferns,
orchids and bromeliads, coated with mosses and draped with vines. With their tall canopies basking in the sun,
they capture vast amounts of energy. This allows them to produce crops of fruit, flowers and foliage that
sustain much of the animal life in the forest.
B. Only a small number of tree species have the genetic capacity to grow really big. The mightiest are
native to North American, but big trees grow all over the globe, from the tropics to the boreal forests of the
high latitudes. To achieve giant stature, a tree needs three things: the right place to establish its seedling, good
growing conditions and lots of time with low adult mortality. Disrupt any of these, and you can lose your
biggest trees.
C. In some parts of the world, populations of big trees are dwindling because their seedlings cannot
survive or grow. In southern India, for instance, an aggressive non-native shrub, Lantana camara, is invading
6
the floor of many forests. Lantana grows so thickly that young trees often fail to take roof. With no young
trees to replace them, it is only a matter of time before most of the big trees disappear. Across much of northern
Australia, gamba grass from Africa is overturning native savannah woodlands. The grass grows up to four
metres tall and burns fiercely, creating super-hot fires that cause catastrophic tree mortality.
D. Without the right growing conditions trees cannot get really big, and there is some evidence to suggest
tree growth could slow in a warmer world, particularly in environments that are already warm. Having worked
for decades at La Selva Biological Station in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, David and Deborah Clark
and colleagues have shown that tree growth there declines markedly in warmer years. “During the day, their
photosynthesis shuts down when it gets too warm, and at night they consume more energy because their
metabolic rate increases, much as a reptile’s would when it gets warmer,” explains David Clark. With less
energy produced in warmer years and more being consumed just to survive, there is even less energy available
for growth.
E. The Clarks’ hypothesis is correct, which means tropical forests would shrink over time. The largest,
oldest trees would progressively die off and tend not to be replaced. According to the Clarks, this might trigger
a destabilization of the climate; as older trees die, forests would release some of their stored carbon into the
atmosphere, prompting a vicious cycle of further warming, forest shrinkage and carbon emissions.
F. Big trees face threats from elsewhere. The most serious is increasing mortality, especially of mature
trees. Across much of the planet, forests of slow-growing ancient trees have been cleared for human use. In
western North America, most have been replaced by monocultures of fast-growing conifers. Siberia’s forests
are being logged at an incredible rate. Logging in tropical forests is selective but the timber cutters usually
prioritize the biggest and oldest trees. In the Amazon, my colleagues and I found the mortality rate for the
biggest trees had tripled in small patches of rainforest surrounded by pasture land. This happens for two
reasons. First, as they grow taller, big trees become less flexible; when winds blow across the surrounding
cleared land, there is nothing to stop their acceleration. When they hit the trees, the impact can snap them in
half. Second, rainforest fragments dry out when surrounded by dry, hot pastures and resulting drought can
have devastating consequences: one-four year study has shown that death rates will double for smaller trees
but will increase 4.5 times for bigger trees.
G. Particular enemies to large trees are insects and disease. Across vast areas of western North America,
increasingly mild winters are causing massive outbreaks of bark beetle. These tiny creatures can kill entire
forests as they tunnel their way through the inside of trees. In both North America and Europe, fungus-causing
diseases such as Dutch elm disease have killed off millions of stately trees that once gave beauty to forests
and cities. As a result of human activity, such enemies reach even the remotest corners of the world,
threatening to make the ancient giants a thing of the past.

appropriate numbers (i-x) in boxes 1-5. Paragraphs C and G have been done for you.
