This being the case, every effort is made to ensure that the lives of the men are as pleasant as possible. The meals are exceptionally good, and there is a daily film, shown at a specific time, on television around the submarine. In return, the crew is always expected to perform perfectly all the time. A mistake is quite unforgivable. In fact, a favourite saying is “There’s room for everything on a submarine except for a mistake”.

As Orson Welles said: “to practise his art, a poet needs a pen, and a painter a brush. But a film-maker needs an army of actors, actresses and support- staff”. Orson Welles learned the hard way that all this costs a fortune. Few film directors are rich enough to finance their own films, and even fewer have the desire to take such a risk. Therefore, directors are dependent on film studios for the financing of their films. This has caused a certain tension between directors and film studios because film studios use their money to try to control the films they finance. If a film, while it is being made, starts to become too expensive, the studio has to make a choice: it must either cancel the making of the film and lose all the money already invested in it, or go on investing heavily and hope the film will really be a great success.

44. It is suggested in the passage that film-making ----.
1. involves a series of problems, one of which is the casting of actors and actresses
2. is extremely expensive when compared with other forms of art
3. is a business which depends more on finance than on talent
4. is an industry which is almost always financially successful
5. aims at making a good profit rather than giving entertainment

45. According to the passage, film studios and directors often disagree ----.
1. over the choice and number of actors, actresses and support-staff for each film
2. over whether a film is likely to succeed and make a profit
3. since each is always dependent upon the other for success
4. because a studio won’t always allow a director to do what he wants to do
5. even though there is no financial problem facing them

Some 130 million years ago, a spike-backed dinosaur walked heavily through the wilderness of what came to be Australia, and left its footprints as a gift for the future. They were the world’s best impressions of a dinosaur’s two-ton footfalls. When they were found seven years ago in a remote valley in northern Australia, they provided scientists with the first clear evidence that dinosaurs had lived in Australia. This discovery provided further evidence for the theory that Australia was once joined to a vast super-continent that included what is now South America, Africa, India and Antarctica.

47. It is clear from the passage that, millions of years ago, Australia ----.

3. could only have been made by dinosaurs weighing a lot more than two tons
4. are in surprisingly good condition although millions of years have passed since they were made
5. have made scientists revise the most recent theories concerning dinosaurs

This discovery provided further evidence for the theory that Australia was once joined to a vast super-continent that included what is now South America, Africa, India and Antarctica.

49. One reason why the discovery in Australia of the dinosaur footprints is so important is that, ----.
1. previously, no one knew for certain whether this country had ever been inhabited by dinosaurs
2. contrary to the popular view, this continent had always been a vast wilderness
3. until this discovery, nothing was known about the early climate of this continent
4. presumably, they will provide clues for future geological changes in this continent

Mrs Gaskell was a nineteenth-century English novelist. She wrote social novels, the most famous of which were Mary Barton and North and South. The first, which is set in Manchester, an industrial city in the north of England, vividly describes the terrible conditions of the working class, which she knew at first hand. It is a powerful novel that made a considerable impression upon readers in nineteenth- century England. The other novel, North and South, contrasts two regions of England, through its heroine Margaret Hale, who leaves southern England to live in the industrial north.
