The twentieth century will probably be largely remembered for having the highest increase in life
expectancy in recorded history. The average life span for men and women has now almost
doubled. Whats more, this seems to be a continuing trend. Not only are we living longer, but we
are also living a far healthier lifestyle. With record numbers of fit, healthy people reaching the
age of 90 and over, it is becoming clear that negative predictions of greying population troubled
by increasing number of diseases as well as huge medical bills, have been exaggerated.
We can see that there are many different aspects affecting the ageing process, including
lifestyle, attitude, social circumstances and diet. Studies carried out on mice for example, have
shown that intake of fewer calories allowed mice to live up to 40% longer than those who ate as
much as they wanted. In human years, this is equal to 30 or 40 more years of life. The mice also
stayed energetic longer, had better memories and lower levels of cancer. Japanese people
living on the island of Okinawa, in fact, consume 20% fewer calories than the rest of the
population of Japan and, as a result, have the highest population of centenarians anywhere in
the world!
The challenge the rest of us now face is how to delay the ageing process. There are, in fact, two
different aspects to ageing that we need to be aware of, the one involving the natural passing of
time, and the other involving the natural, physical ageing of the body. While we have no control
over our chronological age, we can, up to a point, do a lot to slow down biological ageing by
taking nutritional advice.
1. Which is the reason why life in old age is improving, according to the writer?
2. Which aspects of ageing can be controlled? 3. What has research on mice shown?
III. Read the text and look carefully at
each line. Some of the lines are many
correct, and some have a word which
should not be there. If a line is
correct, put a tick. If a line has a word
which should not be there, write the
word at the end of the line. There are

Test 3
FORMATIVE TEST, NIVELUL A2
I To many visitors to Britain , is where its all going on .The man who is tired of London is tired of
life, dr. Jonson said in 1750. Or as an updated version has it ,London is where the action is .Well that
s how its put down in the guide book any way
Of course , to Londoners the word city means the City with the capital C, that square mile eventually
marked out and waled in by the Romans after they had set up their original camp by the Thames
about 50 AD. Some Londoners still live there, but as you look at the area today , you come up against
the real story of many of the worlds capital cities growth and identity .
Most Londoners are not Londoners and do not live in the London they work in . Their home is one of
the large villages that make up London as it began spilling and pushing up in the late 18th and 19th
centuries . They live either in the inner suburbs of the Metropolitan area of the outer suburbs of the
Greater London area. Its all very expensive and overcrowded and yet more and more people are
piling in and looking for a nest . For every one who finds it too expensive and moves out , at least
three are waiting to move in.
Which brings in the identity problem . Where does Britain really begin? In London? Well, does
France begin in Paris? Only a Parisian or a Londoner would make the claim and Londoners are
scarcer than Parisians these days . What?! With 9million inhabitants? You might ask in astonishment
.But what is meant by that is that these days in London if you are in a room full of people the chances
of coming across a second generation Londoner are about one in a hundred . And a third- generation
Londoner is something to make peoples eyes pop.
1 According to the passage, tourists think of capital cities
as a place full of sights
in terms of landmarks
in terms of guidebooks
as places where its all going on
2 We are told that in 50 AD the Romans
built the first city in London
put a wall round London
stopped in London
attacked London
3 It is suggested that
the suburbs are really villages
the suburbs are larger than villages

the suburbs are getting larger

all real Londoners live in the suburbs
4Which of these is true , according to the writer?
London is becoming increasingly overcrowded
London cannot contain any more people
London is too expensive for most people
London is less expensive in the suburbs
5The passage suggest that few people
have parents born in London
have been born in London
know any second generation Londoner
know any Londoner

One reasons why many Americans feel acquainted with Europe is that many ideas, beliefs and
traditions originate in EuropeWestern culture began in the countries around the
Mediterranean Sea. The first written records of European civilization came from ancient Greece. One
of the earliest Greek cultures was on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean
Sea..In time other great civilizations developed along the coast of western Asia
and on the peninsula of Greece.
...... They also started new ideas and ways of thinking. They made beautiful
temples and statutes. And they wrote great plays based on their beliefs and way of life. The next
great European civilization to appear was that of Rome. The Romans were great soldiers, planners,
and builders. In time the Roman empire covered western Europe, North Africa , and much of the
Near Est. The Romans where also borrowers.

FINAL TEST
I. A) You are going to read part of the introduction to a book about very unusual words.
Seven sentences have been removed from the passage. Choose from sentences A H
the one which fits each gap (1-7). There is one extra sentence that you do not need to
use. Ignore the fact that some words are underlined. (21 points)
I have called this book The Insomniacs Dictionary partly because it was born in the dark hours
of night during my own periods of sleeplessness. (1) ___ For one thing, it doesnt require much
in the way of mental or emotional commitment. And secondly, its not meant to be read though
at once. I encourage everyone to skim and skip around a bit.
The Insomniacs Dictionary presents nearly 3,000 strange and intriguing words, all of which are
grouped together by categories. (2) ___ Its been more than a dozen years since I first
discovered the joys of dictionary reading. From the very beginning, I was amazed by the
richness of our language. I quickly became enchanted with words like kakistrocracy
(government by the worst citizens), and I wanted more. (3) ___ It didnt take long to realise I
was stymied there were books that included these delightful words but none that grouped
them together to be enjoyed as a whole. (4) ___
The results are here for you to enjoy. Some of the thematic lists are as all-inclusive as I could
make them. Every chapter has been thoroughly and painstakingly researched. I cannot claim
the resulting lists are absolutely complete but can state that they are more complete than any
lists that can be found in any other reference books.
(5) ___ Such chapters are intended merely as introductions to their respective subjects. By way
of example, our language contains over 20,000 eponyms (words which are based on a persons
name). Most of these are obscure scientific terms or measurements and its obviously beyond
the scope of this book to list them all. (6) ___
Most of the word lists are pretty long, and Ive therefore chosen to divide them into smaller
groups. I admit these sub-categories are totally arbitrary, they are a means of presenting the
words in easier-to-digest servings and should not be construed as definitive classification. (7)
___ Remember, this book is best enjoyed by browsing, not straightforward reading.
A. Thus my research began.
B. And speaking of digestibility, I would not recommend reading some of the longer chapters at
one sitting.
C. It wouldnt be much fun either.
D. On the other hand, some of the chapters make no attempt to be all-inclusive.

E. More to the point, its the perfect book for insomniacs, book browsers and anyone else with a
little time to while away.
F. By way of explaining why Ive chosen this format, Id like to briefly relate my inspiration for
writing this book.
G. I wanted to see all the weird and wonderful words there were.
H. Though it may be hard to believe, all entries in The Insomniacs Dictionary are real words.
B) Look back at the text. Find the underlined words in the text and write the questions to
which these words are the answers. (9 points)
II. A) Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence,
using the word given. Do not change the word given. (15 points)

virtual reality. Surgeons could plan and practice an operation on a virtual patient. Engineers could
test machines which do not even exist. Architects could show people around houses that have not
been built and tennis players could play against opponents before the real match begins.

TEST SUMATIV, NIVELUL B2
Test:1 READING
I. Multicultural Britain
The following are extracts from a speech given by Robin Cook, the British Foreign Secretary, in
April 2001.
(A) Tonight I want to celebrate Britishness. Sadly, it has become fashionable for some to argue that
British identity is under siege, (1)............ . I want to argue that where the pessimists identity a threat,
we should instead see developments that will strengthen and renew British identity.
(B) The first element in the debate about the future of Britishness is the changing ethnic composition
of the British people. The British are not a race, but a gathering of countless different races and
communities. It is not their purity that makes the British unique, but the sheer pluralism of their
ancestry.
(C) London was first established as the capital of a Celtic Britain by Romans from Italy. They were
in turn driven out by Saxons and Angles from Germany. The great cathedrals of this land were built
mostly by Norman bishops, (2)............ . Outside our Parliament, Richard the Lionheart proudly sits
astride his steed, a symbol of courage and defiance. Yet the spoke French much of his life, and
depended on the Jewish community of England to put up the ransom that freed him from prison.
(D) The idea that Britain was a pure Anglo-Saxon society before the arrival of communities from
the Caribbean, Asia and Africa is fantasy. But if this view of British identity is false to our past, it is
false to our future too. The global era has produced population movements of a breadth and richness
without parallel in history. Todays London is a perfect hub of the globe. It is home to over thirty
ethnic communities of at least 10,000 residents each. In this city tonight, over 300 languages will be
spoken by families over their evening meal at home. This pluralism is not a burden we most
reluctantly accept. It is an immense asset that contributes to the cultural and economic vitality of our
nation.
(E) Legitimate immigration is the necessary and unavoidable result of economic success, which
generates a demand for labour faster than can be met by the birthrate of a modern developed country.
Our cultural diversity is one of the reasons why Britain continues to be the preferred location for
multinational companies setting up in Europe.
(F) (3)............ . Our lifestyles and cultural horizons have also been broadened in the process. It
reaches into every aspect of our national life.
(G) Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish, not only because it is the most
popular, (4)............ . Chicken Tikka is an Indian dish. The Massala sauce was added to satisfy the
desire of British people to have their meat served in gravy.
(H) The modern notion of national identity cannot be based on race and ethnicity, (5)............ . Some
of the most successful countries in the modern world, such as the United States and Canada, are
immigrant societies. Their experience shows how cultural diversity, allied to a shared concept of
equal citizenship, can be a source of enormous strength. We should draw inspiration from that
experience.
