complete a gapped text. The missing extracts will be either sentences or short paragraphs. This type
of question tests your ability;

Modifying adjectives
You can increase or reduce the strength of adjectives by using modifiers. Here are some modifiers arranged roughly from weak to strong:

"l

- to understand the general meaning of the text.


- to understand details of the text. particularly in

those parts of the text where an extract ls

missing.
- to understand how a text is structured. Read the text quickly to get the general meaning and underline the key information
(people, places, times, events).

a b;t

~ quite/fairly .- extremely

rather/pretty

-, really/very

Read the missing extracts and underline key words. look carefully at the lines just before and after the gaps. look for words and ideas that are related to the missing extracts, look out for words that help to organize the text, such as pronouns, demonstratives (this, that), connecting words (however, secondly)
and words of similar meaning. Read the completed sense?

This report summarizes the results of a survey into trnfflc problems in our city. It abo describes how people travel to work and whet problems they face. The report ends with a look at possible future developments. In our city most people travel to work either by or by bus. There are very few lucky people who can walk to work. Most people own one car but more and more families are acquiring a second C~ r;
CM

The government is building plenty of new roads within the city and motorways linking our city to others. A new metro is also being planned. They Me also building new pedestrian precincts, but not enough in my opinion. I can't see many improvements in our city, except for the pedestrian streets I mentioned above. Traffic congestion is getting worse and so is pollution. There are fewer and fewer places (or people and especially children to go and relax. I think life in the city will get worse rather

than boner unless serious action is taken soon.


People who rely On buses often complain that they do not run often enough and when they do arrive, they are often full and uncomfortable. As for trains, very few people use them to travel to work because they are slow and Infrequent.

Moon. Von Braun favoured sending two rockets into

But other scientim at NASApreferred to fire a two-part spacecraft direct to the Moon, where it would separate, with two crew members descending to the surface while a .!< third circled the Moon in the other part. When the
lunar landing was over. the spacemen on the Moon

Race to the Moon


On 4 October 1957, the USSRlaunched into orbit the world's first satellite, Sputnik,. h was a Ifemendous success: th~ Earth had a new moon and it bore the letters CCCP. Then the USAlaunched its first satellite, E.plor~r " on 3t January' 958. Sixmonths later, President Eisenhower created NASA.the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which immediately began the Mercury programme to launch a manned space vehicle. II , I On 25 May' 96', President John F Kennedy told the USCongress 'that this nation should commit ruelf to ach,eving the goal, before the decade is out, of launching a man on the Moon and r~turning him safely to Earth'. The Apollo project had been born. IThat came when an Atlas rocket sent John Glenn Into space for five hours on 20 February 1962. BehInd the scenes, however, NASAwas very uncertain about exactly how to get a man on the

would rejoin their companions, leaving their landing vehicle behind. L I Finally.on 16 July 1969, Apollo" set off for the JO Moon. The names of the astronauts on that Ifip would go down in history: Neil Armstrong, Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.Neil Armstrong, after four days In space, climbed down the ladder of the lunar module Eagle, which had landed on the ." Moon's Sea of Tranquillity. He stepped off on to the surface of the Moon.' ",I I Other visits to the Moon followed. The last time was on lS December 1972 and it was. as President Nixon had predicted, to be 'the last timf inr'-th.c.is;,--, ... century that men will walk on the Moon' LI..,-_:-, Experts. however, brought him down to earth saying the President had 'good intentions but they are unrealistic', Although NASAhas decided to leave the Moon in " peace, the same cannot be said of the private sector. Private space companies such as International Space Enterprises and General Dynamics, both based in Colifomia, will be launching their first m.nnod space flights to the Moon in the near future. In the long ;0 term, they .,m to found the first colonies on the Moon.' I The plan looks a bit like this: the first stage will take place in 20'0, when robot explorers will be sent to the Moon to gather information concerning the " suitability of the soil. Ten yea" later, by which time the ideal area will have been found, astronauts will arrive to carry out experiments on the spot and they will start building the first station. I I If all goes well, by 2060 the first colony on the eo Moon will be ready: a huge space station shaped like an igloo, which will have been equipped with all the latest technological gadgets. h will also have been fumished to receive its first guests: several hundred scientists for whom it will be the first home in space. 6; It is not unlikely that after several decad~s, or perhaps a century later, these igloos will have Increased in number.
