BLOCK 1. READING COMPREHENSION (5 POINTS)

OPTION A
FORMULA ONE
Who would not like to drive a super-car and get to experience extreme speed? Formula One cars are the fastest
regulated racing cars in the world. They can go around a corner or bend in the road at very high speeds through the
generation of large amounts of aerodynamic downforce. These cars underwent major changes in 2017, which allowed
wider front and rear wings, and wider tyres. Traction control and automatic shifting, plus other electronic driving aids,
were first banned in 1994. Yet, Formula One can trace its roots back to the earliest days of motor racing, and emerged
from the buoyant European racing scene of the inter-war years.
Plans for a Formula One drivers' championship were discussed in the late 1930s but were shelved with the onset of
World War Two. The formula in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must comply and was
originally known as Formula A.

A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, which take place worldwide on both
purpose-built circuits and closed public roads. A points system is used at Grands Prix to determine two annual World
Championships: one for drivers, the other for constructors. Each driver must hold a valid Super Licence, the highest
class of racing licence issued by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA; English: International Automobile
Federation). To the general public, the FIA is mostly known as the governing body for many auto racing events such
as Formula One. The FIA also promotes road safety around the world.
EXERCISE A.1: Add True or False, quoting the relevant information from the text to justify your answer. (2
points)
a) In the motor racing sphere, Formula A was the name given originally to the Formula One drivers'
championship.
T/True: (“)The formula in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must comply and was
originally known as Formula A(”) = 1
T/True: (“)Plans for a Formula One drivers' championship were discussed in the late 1930s but were shelved with the
onset of World War Two. The formula in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must

must comply and was originally known as Formula A(”) = 0 (“V/Verdadero” + excessive no. of words)
V/Verdadero: (“)The formula in the name (...) was originally known as Formula A(”) = 0.5
T/True + ∅ = 0 // ∅ + justification = 0 (in the answer there must be both a denotation and a justification)

OPTION B
CYBERCRIME
Interested in becoming an expert in the scientific study of crime and criminals? If you are, welcome to the world of
criminology! Although this science arose a long time ago, in the mid-18th century, when social philosophers decided to
give thought to crime and concepts of law, they could hardly have imagined that three centuries later criminologists
would be studying something called cybercrime. In these modern times, people may use computers as an instrument to
further illegal ends, such as committing fraud, trafficking in child pornography, stealing identities, or violating privacy.
Cybercrime, especially through the Internet, has grown in importance as commerce, entertainment, and even
government have become more and more dependent on the computer. At first, because of the early and widespread
adoption of computers and the Internet in the United States, most of the earliest victims and villains of cybercrime were
Americans. Later, 22 years into the 21st century, hardly a firm, town or home remains in the world that has not been
touched by cybercrime.
Ransomware and phishing are examples of the new forms of crime covered by cybercrime. The former is a type of
malware from cryptovirology that threatens to publish the victim's personal data or perpetually block access to it
unless a ransom is paid.
Phishing is a cybercrime in which targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a
legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as banking and credit card details, including
passwords. The information is then used to access important accounts and can result in identity theft and financial
loss.
EXERCISE B.1: Add True or False, quoting the relevant information from the text to justify your answer. (2
points)
a) Nowadays committing fraud or violating people’s privacy is hardly ever carried out with computers.
F/False: (“)In these modern times, people may use computers as an instrument to further illegal ends, such as
committing fraud, trafficking in child pornography, stealing identities, or violating privacy(“) = 1
F/False: (“)In these modern times, people may use computers as an instrument to further illegal ends (“) = 1
F/False: (“)In these modern times, people may use computers as an instrument to further illegal ends, such as (...)(“)=
1
b) The first cybercrime victims and gangsters came from the USA because the widespread use of computers and
the Internet began there.
T/True: “At first, because of the early and widespread adoption of computers and the Internet in the United States,
most of the earliest victims and villains of cybercrime were Americans” = 1 (The mention of the “later”-sentence
would constitute a case of excessive no. of words = 0.5)
EXERCISE B.2: Answer the following questions according to the information given in the text. Use your own
words. (2 points)
a) What has made cybercrime become one of the most important concerns of present-day criminology?
The answer is in the sentences shaded in yellow, but students must use their own words.
b) What are the typical objectives of ransomware and phishing?
The answer is in the sentences shaded in green, but students must use their own words.
EXERCISE B.3: Find words or phrases in the text which mean the same as the following: (1 point)
a) leisure, recreation: entertainment c) disclose, circulate: publish
b) barely: hardly d) supplying: providing

BLOCK 2. USE OF ENGLISH (REPHRASING) (2 POINTS)

OPTION A
EXERCISE A.4: Complete the second sentence in each pair. The meaning should be the same as that of the
first sentence. (2 points)
a) “Traction control was prohibited in 1994”, the engineer said. The engineer claimed that (traction control had
been prohibited in 1994 = 0.5 // was prohibited in 1994 = 0)
b) Plans for a Formula One drivers’ championship were abandoned at the beginning of WW2, but the FIA had
been discussing them for a long time. Although (the FIA had been discussing plans for a Formula One drivers’
championship for a long time, they were abandoned at the beginning of WW2 = 0.5)
c) The French driver did not hold a Super Licence, so he was unable to participate. If the French driver (had held
a Super Licence, he would have been able to participate = 0.5 (NOTE THE PAST TENSE IN THE ORIGINAL) // he
could have participated = 0.5 // 0.25 if only one clause is correct)
d) FIA officials examined the new Ferrari in wonder. The (new Ferrari was examined in wonder by FIA officials/
by FIA officials in wonder = 0.5 // 0.25 if there is no by-phrase)
OPTION B
EXERCISE B.4: Complete the second sentence in each pair. The meaning should be the same as that of the
first sentence. (2 points)
a) Criminologists did not give thought to cybercrime until the 1990s. I wish (criminologists had given thought to
cybercrime before the 1990s = 0.5 // 0.5, too, IF IN THE PASSIVE: cybercrime had been given thought by
criminologists before the 1990s. No by-phrase = 0.25: the by-phrase is necessary because of the meaning of the
passive and the original)
b) Governments are more and more dependent on the computer, so cases of cybercrime are on the increase. If
governments (were not so/that dependent/were less and less dependent on the computer, cases of cybercrime would
not be on the increase = 0.5 / would not be increasing = 0.5 // 0.25 if only one of the clauses is correct)
c) “Pay the ransom or we’ll publish your personal data”, the gangsters said to Paul. The gangsters warned Paul
that (if he did not pay the ransom, they would publish his personal data / if he paid the ransom, they would not publish
his personal data = 0.5 // 0.25 if one of the clauses is correct // 0.5, too, for ...that he had to pay the ransom or they
would publish ...)

they stole my identity = 0.5. NB: TENSE CHOICE (as-clause) IS LESS LIMITED THAN IN CONDITIONALS)
