Unit 1
(1) Fate
is sometimes not very kind to policemen like myself. Take as an example the recent (2)
trial in which I was involved. When I arrested the young lad I had felt sure he was (3) guilty I had
been following him around for a (4) couple of
hours and he (5) conduct himself suspiciously. He
had been (6) wandering about and it seemed to me that he was looking for an opportunity to steal.
When I arrested him, his(7) casual manner only served to (8) confirm my suspicions. I thought I
had at last caught the thief who had been troubling the area for as long.


However,
my
joy
was
only
(9)
temporary
When
I
saw
the
(10)
brilliant
solicitor
the
boy's
father had hired to defend him, I knew we didn't(11) stand a chance It turned out that the boy was
simply a student who was looking for temporary (12) employment before going to university. If
only he had been a bit more helpful when we arrested him, he could have saved us all a lot of time
and trouble. It
’
s enough to make one (13) turn against students.
Unit 2
(1)Despite the vast amount of (2) data available for us to (3) download from the worldwide
(4) web
，
we
still
face
a
problem
in
how
to
make
the
best
use
of
it.
Data
on
its
own
has
its
(5) limitations
It
is
only
when
nature
is
exposed
to(6) fruitful
questions
that
we
can
hope
to
(7) uncover (her secrets. The a(8) evolution of science shows this clearly, with mangy of the most
（
9) notable
discoveries
relying
on
the
ability
to(10) view
matters
rather
than
simply
gathering
more facts. (11) In short
，
half the answer lies in 12) thinking up the right question.
Unit 3
To my mind, in any a (1) analysis
of the(2) professions , few can match teaching. One needs to
be(3) energetic
，
certainly, for occasionally it seems one hardly has time to(4) catch his breath .It
can
mean
(5)
staying up
late
in
order
to
get
lessons
prepared
on
time.
Nonetheless,
I
am(6)
convinced
that
the
work
is
more(7)stimulating
than
that
of
my
(8)
administrative
colleagues.
I
certainly
would
not
wish
to(9)
switch
even
though
the
pay
is
higher.
With
teaching,
the(10)
pace
of life is more varied, allowing greater time for(11) reflection
and research. Yet most of all
it is the chance to see the(12) spark of a fresh idea taking hold in a student's mind that is the most
rewarding aspect of the job, (13) repaying all one's efforts.
Unit 4


It
is
difficult
not
to
be(1)
affected
by
the
tale
of
Sarah
Morris.
While
her(2)
physical
conditions
made
it
difficult
to(3)
interpret
her
speech,
from
her
writing
it
would
be
impossible to (4) spot
that she suffers from such a severe(5) handicap. Writing slowly with the
help of a pointer(6) fastened to her head, her(7) maximum
writing speed is no more than eight
words(8)_per
minute.
Yet
she
still
manages
to
write
(9)
extensively
on
the
team
she
grew
up
following.
(10)
Straining
her
neck
in
the
gloom
of
her
room,(11 surrounded
by
her
computer
equipment and a TV set, she has managed to rise above her situation against all the odds.
Unit 5



I (1) recall
that it was something of an (2) embarrassment
to have my son find me so upset on
that
Wednesday
long
ago.
He
had
come
home
expecting
to
(3)
have
the
place
all to himself ,
only to find me there, (5) frantic with worry about losing my job. I had (6) assumed that I could
master typing in just a few(7) sessions, but it took much longer than I had expected. Try as I might,
it seemed I just could not (8) catch on to
it in time. I suppose I should have (9) enrolled on a (10)
correspondence course, as I did when learning to run the nursery, but by then it was too late. I felt

(11) helpless
and the(12) tension at work was becoming too much to bear, so in the end I just had
