The research showed that we still have got a great deal to do to make sure that our young people are safe in our schools and able to learn in a 2.__________ educational environment. The survey went on to show that 71% of the teens who had suffered bullying had also been physically attacked, and most of them said what they had gone through 3.__________ had an impact on their self-esteem. Incidents of bullying were highest amongst those with a 4.__________, of whom 63% reported being bullied and socially 5.__________.

For questions15 to 20, choose from the sentences (A – G) the one which best fits each gap. There is one extra sentence you do not need to use. (Total: 3 points, 0,5 point each correct answer) A. Though the bricks they created were small, they were stronger than steel-reinforced concrete, Dr. Qiao said. B. The explanation could be the iron oxide in the Martian soil. C. As we learn more about the options available for future explorers and colonists, we have better chances of succeeding in our first extraterrestrial colony. D. The research is still early, but if further study and testing confirms its findings, it could be a key to settling on and, later, colonizing the red planet. E. “I would like to see if these results are repeated under extremely cold and dry conditions”, he says. F. They call it Martian soil simulant. G. The idea was that astronauts would take the binding agent with them to the moon, mix it with the soil and then compact it into blocks that they could use to make structures. IF MARS IS COLONIZED, WE MAY NOT NEED TO SHIP IN THE BRICKS We often wonder if somewhere hidden on Mars are the building blocks for life: microscopic bacteria and small organisms. But what about the actual building blocks to build a civilization? A new study suggests that the material we will need to build houses, buildings, and even entire colonies on Mars may already be there. 15. ______ Dr. Qiao, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of California, and his colleagues experimented with a substance that is chemically and physically similar to what you might find on the surface of Mars, but is made from particles on our planet. 16. ______ The team members found that they could turn this substance into bricks. If it works with real Martian soil, the technique could make it possible to develop building material on Mars at a low energy cost, making it much simpler to erect structures on the surface of the red planet. 17. ______ His team had previously worked with a lunar soil simulation, which needs a binding agent (a type of glue) to be compressed into a brick. 18. ______ After that work, his team set their eyes on Mars. They realized they could produce the same kind of bricks for the red planet with smaller and smaller amounts of their space glue, until they found they could make Martian bricks just by using pressure. 19. ______ Team members think that it acts like a glue to hold the particles together after they apply enough pressure to it. “The paper is an interesting step in the right direction”, said Jon Rask, a research scientist at NASA who was not involved in the study. The next challenge, according to Rask, would be to see if the results could actually hold up in Mars. 20. ______ Adapted from nytimes.com NCP2_Midtest.indd 3NCP2_Midtest.indd 3 01/02/2021 12:3301/02/2021 12:33 4 M AS TE R IN E N G LI SH 2 | N ew C N A Pl at in um 2 - M id te rm T es t Listen to a woman called Linda Lee giving a talk about girl’s rights to education.

Read this article about a different dating service. For questions 15 - 20, choose from the sections (A - D). The sections may be chosen more than once. (Total: 3 points, 0,5 point each correct answer) Which paragraph… 15. explains how speed dating normally works? 16. explains why the author and her friend decided to try speed dating? 17. shows the outcome of the speed dating night? 18. shows what happened in the actual dates? 19. shows the author has changed her opinion? 20. highlights difficulties both the author and her friend might have faced? SPEED DATING: THE HAPPY MEAL OF ROMANCE? A. Speed dating is something that has never really held much appeal in the past. Maybe it’s down to a preconception of it being the Happy Meal equivalent of dating, or a gimmicky, grown-up mix of musical chairs and snap. But, Internet dating wasn’t really having the desired outcome for my friend Dan or myself. The frustration of being ignored after what seemed like another promising date had led us to take action and look at new ways of meeting people. The Manchester based dating blogger Cubic Garden had mentioned to me that he had more success meeting suitable dates speed dating than he had Internet dating. So we figured it was worth putting any preconceptions to one side and giving it a go. B. On the way to the club, Dan was growing increasingly conscious of what to ask when it came to opening questions. It was beginning to dawn on him that this was a night of intensive small talk. We hadn’t thought this through. Dan doesn’t like small talk and I’m nosey so would probably seem a bit interrogate-y. But we had arrived and there was no point backing out. Walking in, there was a real mix of people, and to our relief you got a free glass of champagne to calm any nerves. We sat down and registered. The instructions were simple. All the women sat at a table, and the men moved from table to table every time a whistle was blown. You got a sheet to make notes about each person, and had to tick yes or no regarding seeing them again. C. In the hours that followed we both had 21 dates. Each date ended with quickly writing a note on the person you have just dated and ticking yes or no. The most striking thing about the whole process was the sheer amount of useless information you can cover with someone you have never met before in three minutes. It was spectacular. One guy spent the entire date looking around the room and over my shoulder. I was just starting to consider shouting “OI MATE – OVER HERE!”– but I was thankfully saved by the whistle. Apparently he was looking for someone specific. I wasn’t her; we both ticked no. Wow, just three minutes to reach that conclusion; speed dating is efficient! D. A couple of days later we both received an email to say if we had any matches. I had one, which considering I only ticked yes for two people was pretty good going. Another 10 had expressed an interest in meeting again. Dan hadn’t got any matches, but again had only ticked two yeses; however he had another six girls who had expressed an interest in meeting. I asked Dan if he intended to contact any of the six girls; he didn’t. Between the dates and the email, he’d managed to meet someone at a match.com party and was now smitten. Speed dating was an absolute blast. It was far more fun than expected, and I definitely recommend it to anyone that wants a fun change to Internet dating.
