a) new regulations have been adopted.
b) the Federal Reserve publicly promised to loan.
c) taxpayers are proud to bail out investment
banks.
d) governments have set stricter regulations.
e) the Federal Reserve has denied financial
support.

Fixing finance

As if collapsing prices were not enough,
American mortgage firms now have to cope with home
rage. Borrowers vent their fury on the system that
is repossessing their properties by smashing holes
in walls and tipping paint over living-room carpets.
Something similar is going on in the house finance
built. Faith in open markets has been poisoned by
a crisis that has spread from one asset to the next.
First there was disbelief and denial. Then fear. Now
comes anger.
For three decades, public policy has been
dominated by the power of markets – flexible and
resilient, harnessing self-interest for the public good,
and better than any planner-in-chief. Nowhere are
markets deeper and more liquid than in modern
finance. But finance has stumbled and there are
growing calls from all sides for bold re-regulation.
New rules become inevitable the moment the
Federal Reserve rescued Bear Stearns and pledged
to lend to other Wall Street banks. If taxpayers are
required to bail out investment banks, the governments
need to impose tighter limits on the risks those banks
can take.
Read the text below entitled “A coming test of virtue”

When Latin Americans get together with bankers
on American soil it has usually been to seek succour
for their sickly economies. Yet at the annual meeting
of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in
Miami this week, the relative health of the participants
has been reversed. Thousands of empty flats in
gleaming new skyscrapers clustering around Miami’s
downtown hotels bear witness to the severity of the
housing-market bust in South Florida. Distracted by
their own losses, the investment bankers were in
subdued mood or stayed away. The Latin Americans,
for their part, were preening themselves over the
vigour of their own economies. They hope they have
“decoupled” from their giant neighbour to the north.
Are such hopes justified? Latin America is doing
better than any other time since the 1960s. Economic
growth has averaged over 5% a year since 2004,
inflation has been generally low, direct investment is
arriving in record quantities, and the region’s current
account and fiscal accounts are both in surplus.

21- In paragraph 2, the text refers to
a) a figure to define economic growth.
b) an unwanted rise in inflation rates.
c) an inevitable increase in tax burden.
d) a persistent lack of direct investment.
e) a sharp slow down in economic growth.
24- In his answer to question 2, Mr Summers
a) did not take into account the role played by
inflation.
b) draws the readers’ attention to the current
productivity growth.
c) agrees that the present crisis is the result of the
1970s.
d) interprets the analogy as correct and precise.
e) does not see features in common between both
crises.
Read the interview below entitled “A Long Way from
the 1970s” in order to answer questions 22 to 25:
25- According to Lawrence Summers’ answers,

a) developed countries are readier to face world
recessions.
b) China and India will probably keep on growing
faster.
c) India’s economic growth is linked to China’s
growth.
d) the world economy as a whole will not slow
down.
e) developing countries are likely to face a protracted
recession.
Lawrence Summers, the former treasury
secretary, is as well credentialed as anyone to
assess the global credit crisis. He won the John
Bates Clark award for best economist under 40, was
chief economist at the World Bank and ran Harvard
University.
Question 1: Will developing economies do better
than First World economies?
There are very strong internal factors that would
explain why China and India will continue to grow
more rapidly than the global economy. But even they
are not independent of the global economy, and if it
slows, their growth is likely to slow as well.
Question 2: Is this the 1970s all over again?
Anyone who studies the economic history of the 1970s
has to be struck by…the very high wage inflation –
particularly in relation to slowing productivity growth. I
don’t see any evidence today of growing labor power
or unsustainable wage demands. We’re a long way
from the 1970s.
22- In this interview, Mr Summers was invited to
assess the global credit crisis. In other words,
to
a) prevent it.
b) predict it.
c) gauge it.
d) witness it.
e) stop it.
23- In his answer to question 1, Mr Summers
a) points out China’s economic independence of the
global economy.
b) assesses the decoupling between the world’s
economy and the USA.
c) predicts a slower rate of growth for China and
India.
d) comments on two countries’ dependence of the
global economy.
e) highlights the world impact caused by the
American growth.

Your answers to questions 16 to 18 must be based
on the text below entitled “Land of Promise”:
Land of Promise
Source: www.economist.com/specialreports
April 12th 2007 (Adapted)
In 2003 Goldman Sachs, an investment bank,
selected Brazil, along with Russia, India and China,
as one of the “BRICs”- the developing countries that
would share dominance of the world economy by
2050.
In some ways Brazil is the steadiest of the
BRICs. Unlike China and Russia it is a full-blooded
democracy; unlike India it has no serious disputes
with its neighbours. It is the only BRIC without a
nuclear bomb. The Heritage Foundation’s “Economic
Freedom Index”, which measures such factors as
protection of property rights and free trade, ranks
Brazil (“moderate free”) above the other BRICs
(“mostly unfree”). One of the main reasons why
Brazil’s growth has been slower than China’s and
India’s is that Brazil is richer and more urbanized.
The survey will argue that disgruntlement
persists because Brazil is a battleground between
progress and inertia. Since independence was
proclaimed by the son of the Portuguese king, Brazil
has been adding layer upon layer of change rather
than sweeping away the old and starting afresh.
Your answers to questions 19 to 21 must be based

Dec 31st, 2007/ Jan 7th, 2008 (Adapted)
For Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,
2007 has been a good year. The economy is surging,
even as the United States shows signs of weakness.
Rising real wages, school enrollments and life
expectancy have finally nudged Brazil into the United
Nations’ elite of “high human development” nations.
One by one Lula has seen top aides and allies fall to
corruption scandals, but so far nothing seems to dim
his aura. Now some of Lula’s most ardent devotees
in the ruling Workers Party (PT) are even pushing to
change the Constitution to allow him to run for a third
consecutive term in office. “All the stars are aligned,”
says Walter Molano, a specialist in emerging markets
with BCP Securities.

Taxpayers’money is used by the European Union (EU)
to fund activities that all Member States and parliaments
have agreed upon in the Treaties. A small amount – around
1% of the Union’s national wealth, which is equivalent to
about 235 Euro per head of the population – comes into the
EU’s annual budget and is then spent mainly for its citizens
and communities.

A wide range of activities are funded in the Member
States, for example in agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure
(construction of roads, bridges and railways), education
and training, culture, employment and social policy,
environmental policy, health and consumer protection,
research, to mention a few. Initiatives are also underway to
offer EU citizens an area of freedom, security and justice
without internal borders. Part of the EU budget is also
spent on funding economic development around the world
and on humanitarian aid to help non-EU countries afflicted
by natural disasters and other crisis situations.
For Americans, 2008 is an important election year.
But for much of the world, it is likely to be seen as the
year that China moved to center stage, with the Olympics
serving as the country’s long-awaited coming-out party.
The much-heralded advent of China as a global power
is no longer a forecast but a reality. On issue after issue,
China has become the second most important country on
the planet. Consider what happened already this past year.
In 2007 China contributed more to global growth than the
United States, the first time another country had done so
since at least the 1930s. It also became the world’s largest
consumer, eclipsing the United States in four of the five
basic food, energy and industrial commodities. And a few
months ago China surpassed the United States to become
the world’s leading emitter of CO2.
68- In paragraph 1, the terms national wealth and annual
budget are mentioned. They are respectively translated
into Portuguese as
a) renda nacional and consumo anual.

c) gastos federais and despesas anuais.
b) began in the 1930s.
d) riqueza nacional and orçamento anual.
c) is already taking place.
e) patrimônio líquido and orçamento anual.
d) has been supported by the USA.
69- In paragraph 2, the text enumerates a wide range of activities
funded in the Member States including employment and
health. These two terms are respectively translated into
Portuguese as
e) will not eclipse other economies.
67- Concerning the contribution given to global growth,
a) China led it in 2007.
a) políticas sociais and pesquisa.
b) the United States has kept the leadership.
b) educação and emprego.
c) China has remained unbeatable since 1930.
c) pesquisa and infra-estrutura.
d) China and the USA have been leading.

Union budget
a) comes from foreign economies.
b) Is used to assist foreign countries.
c) derives from non-EU countries.

Your answers to questions 13 to 16 must be based on the
article below entitled “The accidental environmentalists”:
The accidental environmentalists
Source: www.economist.com
Dec, 11th 2008 (Adapted)
More destructive hurricanes, shrinking forests,
melting glaciers, disappearing animals: the prospective
damage to Latin America and the Caribbean from climate
change makes for grim reading. A new World Bank report,
timed to coincide with a United Nations conference in
Poland, tries to put numbers to the potential economic
cost. By taking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change´s predictions for what the planet might feel like
in 2100 and then overlaying data from several thousand
farms situated in regions of varying heat and dryness, it is
possible to make some informed guesses about what the
effect on crop yields, and therefore on GDP, would be if
temperatures rose and rainfall fell.
Some Latin countries are already doing things to
reduce net carbon emissions that put them ahead of
governments elsewhere. Much of the region´s power
comes from hydroelectricity and biofuels. The result is that
emissions of carbon dioxide per unit of power are 74%
lower than in India and China.
There are obstacles to taking these policies further.
In Brazil, plans for more hydroelectric dams in the Amazon
are opposed by some environmentalists; they claim the
resulting flooding of forest prompts methane-producing
rotting vegetation.
13- As regards the potential economic cost caused by climate
change, figures
a) are going to be presented.
b) cannot be set.
c) would have to be shown.
d) seem to minimize its effect.
e) do not reflect its dire threat.
14- In some Latin American countries, carbon dioxide
emissions per unit of power
a) are unacceptably high in relation to other countries.
b) are considerably lower than those of India and China.
c) have increased significantly over the last few decades.
d) are being tackled through the construction of new
capacity.
e) need to be reduced by around 74% as soon as
possible.

the article below entitled “Looming water crisis simply a

a) overestimated.
Looming water crisis simply a management problem
b) paramount.

c) marginal.
d) extraneous.
Today´s focus on the credit crisis and rising prices for
food and oil has temporarily put another global scarcity in
the shade: water. The UN predicts that by 2025, two-thirds
of us will experience water shortages, with severe lack
of water blighting the lives and livelihoods of 1.8 billion.
According to the UN World Water Assessment Programme,
by 2050, 7 billion people in 60 countries may have to cope
with water scarcity. At this year´s World Economic Forum,
UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon recommended that
water scarcity should be at the top of the international
agenda. “As the global economy grows, so will its thirst,” he
said, warning of a future marred by conflicts over water.
e) secondary.
There is no doubt that we need to rethink how we
use water, especially with the human population growing
rapidly, and global warming likely to produce unpredictable
patterns of rainfall and drought. Nevertheless, my own
research suggests that the situation may not be as dire
as many are suggesting. Nations can thrive on surprisingly
meagre quantities of fresh water – provided they adopt
water-efficient technologies and encourage economic
activity that does not guzzle water. I believe the looming
water crisis is primarily a problem of distribution and
management rather than supply. And we can solve it with
existing technologies, increased investment and political
will.
17- According to paragraph 1, water shortages
a) are foreseen.
b) are not going to occur.
c) would have to be calculated.
d) have been compensated.

e) decreased.
Read the text below entitled `While Rome burns´ in order to
answer questions 22 to 25:
It remains hard to define, and attempts to do so often
seem arbitrary. But in Brazil, the middle class describes
those with a job in the formal economy, access to credit and
ownership of a car or motorbike. According to the Fundação
Getúlio Vargas (FGV), a research institute, this means
households with a monthly income ranging from 1,064
reais ($600) to 4,561 reais. Since 2002, according to FGV,
the proportion of the population that fits this description has
increased from 44% to 52%. Brazil, previously notorious for
its extremes, is now a middle-class country.
This social climbing is a feature mainly of the country´s
cities, reversing two decades of stagnation that began
at the start of the 1980s. Marcelo Neri of FGV suggests
two factors behind the change. The first is education. The
quality of teaching in Brazil´s schools may still be poor, but
those aged 15-21 now spend on average just over three
more years studying than their counterparts did in the early
1990s.
The second is a migration of jobs from the informal
“black” economy to the formal economy. The rate of formal
job creation is accelerating, with 40% more created in the
year to this July than in the previous 12 months, which itself
set a record. Together with cash transfers to poor families,
this helps to explain why – in contrast with economic and
social development in India or China – as Brazil´s middle
class has grown, so the country´s income inequality has
lessened.

American plans to buy up assets that are clogging
the financial system lack detail but no one doubts that a
massive government intervention is coming. In Europe
jittery investors have no such reassurance. European
governments have yet to respond publicly to calls from
Hank Paulson, the treasury secretary, to follow his lead.
They look set to keep faith with the approach that they
have used to handle the crisis so far – staving off liquidity
worries by allowing banks to use facilities at central banks
to swap their assets in exchange for ready cash.
That makes many watchers nervous. The crisis in
America has dramatically grown from one of liquidity to one
of solvency as well. Lehman Brothers had access to the
Federal Reserve´s discount window, after all, but still went
under. The burning question now is whether banks have
enough capital. On some measures, European banks look
pretty well capitalized. The average tier-one ratio, which
measures capital based on the riskiness of bank assets,
stood at 8% in the first half of the year. That looks solid
enough, if you assume that banks have a good handle on
risk.

The long climb
st Oct, 2009 (Adapted)
The world economy is fitfully getting back to normal,
but it will be a “new normal”. This phrase has caught on,
even if people disagree about what it means. In the new
normal, as defined by Pimco´s CEO, Mohamed El-Erian,
growth will be subdued and unemployment will remain
high. “The banking system will be a shadow of its former
self,” and the securitization markets, which buy and sell
marketable bundles of debt, will presumably be a shadow of
a shadow. Finance will be costlier and investment weak, so
the stock of physical capital, on which prosperity depends,
will erode.
The crisis invited a forceful government entry into
several of capitalism´s inner sanctums, such as banking,
American carmaking and the commercial-paper market. Mr
El-Erian worries that the state may overstay its welcome.
In addition, national exchequers may start to feel some
measure of the fiscal strain now hobbling California.
America´s Treasury, in particular, must demonstrate that it is
still a “responsible shepherd of other countries´ savings.”
21- In paragraph 1, growth in the new order is defined as
a) both real and active.
b) absolutely extraordinary.
c) not very active or busy.
d) sustainable and rapid.
e) unpredictable.
22- In paragraph 1, finance is referred to as
a) remaining low throughout the crisis.
b) having been affected by the crisis.
c) having eroded throughout the process.
d) likely to be considered in a future analysis.

a) policies which have been favouring California´s
growth.
b) pressure currently preventing California´s
development.
c) programmes successfully spoused by California.
d) measures which have steadily gained acceptance.

Question (Q) 1: Margolis: When you took office, Brazil
was regarded as an underachiever, and the last among
the BRIC nations. Now Brazil is considered a star
among emerging countries. What´s happened?
Taxation Trends in the European Union
Source: www.ec.europa.eu
2009 Edition (Adapted)
This year´s edition of the Taxation Trends in the
European Union appears at a time of upheaval. The
effects of the global economic and financial crisis have hit
the European Union (EU) with increasing force from the
second half of 2008. Given that the last year for which
detailed data are available is 2007, this year´s report
cannot yet analyze the consequences of the recession on
tax revenues. Nevertheless, the report takes stock of the
tax policy measures taken by EU governments in response
to the crisis up to spring 2009.
The European Union is, taken as a whole, a high
tax area. In 2007, the overall tax ratio, i.e. the sum of
taxes and social security contributions in the 27 Member
States amounted to 39.8% of GDP. This value is about
12 percentage points above those recorded in the United
States and Japan.
The high EU overall tax ratio is not new, dating back
essentially to the last third of the 20th century. In those
years, the role of the public sector became more extensive,
leading to a strong upward trend in the tax ratio in the
1970s, and to a lesser extent also in the 1980s and early
1990s.
Lula: No one respects anyone who doesn´t respect
themselves. And Brazil always behaved like a second-class
country. We always told ourselves we were the country
of the future. But we never transformed these qualities
into anything concrete. In a globalized world you cannot
sit still. You have to hit the road and sell your country. So
we decided to make strengthening Mercosul (the South
American trading bloc) a priority, and deepened our
relations with Latin America in general. We prioritized trade
with Africa and went into the Middle East aggressively. Our
trade balance today is diversified. This helped us cushion
the blow of the economic crisis.
Q2: Margolis: Has Brazil´s success in navigating the
economic crisis changed investors´views?
Lula: There was no miracle. We had a strong domestic
market. We had consumers who wanted to buy cars. We
reduced part of the sales tax and asked the companies to
offer consumers credit on affordable items. It´s the same
case with refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, and
with computers and the housing construction.
24- According to paragraph 1, the global economic and
financial crisis
Q3: Margolis: What are the lessons for other
countries?
a) has impacted on the EU.
b) may still hit the European Union.
Lula: The great lesson is that the state has an important
role to play, and has great responsibility. We don´t want
the state to manage business. But it can be an inducer of
growth and can work in harmony with society.
c) has caused tax reductions in the EU.
d) could have affected the EU.
e) might bring about growth in the EU.
25- In relation to the EU´s overall tax ratio, it

31- According to the text, businesses
a) are fully prepared to deal with an ancient workforce.
b) cannot cope with an influx of elderly workers.
c) are incapable of growing old gracefully.
d) must get rid of older workers through streamlining
operations.
e) must learn to deal with the need to keep older staff
employed.
32- In paragraph 2, the author claims that the recent economic
recession has
a) awakened an interest in science and engineering
among younger workers.
b) caused the number of young people seeking jobs in
business to increase.
c) extinguished what little interest firms had shown in how
to manage an older staff.
d) made a mountain of business management out of a
managerial molehill.
e) led many firms to dismiss older workers in their periodic
staff reductions.
33- The text suggests that the governments of industrialized
countries are
a) trying to stop companies dismissing older members of
their workforce.
INGLÊS
b) refusing to employ younger workers because of their
expensive pensions.
Read the text and answer questions 31-33.
c) cutting the retirement pensions of valuable workers on
the basis of age.
Companies in the rich world are confronted with a rapidly
ageing workforce. Nearly one in three American workers
will be over 50 by 2012, and America is a young country
compared with Japan and Germany. China is also ageing
rapidly, thanks to its one-child policy. This means that
companies will have to learn how to manage older workers
better.
Most companies are remarkably ill-prepared. There was a
flicker of interest in the problem a few years ago but it was
snuffed out by the recession. The management literature
on older workers is a mere molehill compared with the
mountain devoted to recruiting and retaining the young.
Companies are still stuck with an antiquated model for
dealing with ageing, which assumes that people should
get pay rises and promotions on the basis of age. They
have dealt with the burdens of this model by periodically
“downsizing” older workers or encouraging them to take
early retirement. This has created a dual labour market for
older workers, of cosseted insiders on the one hand and
unemployed or retired outsiders on the other.
But this model cannot last. The number of young people,
particularly those with valuable science and engineering
skills, is shrinking. And governments are raising retirement
ages and making it more difficult for companies to shed
older workers, in a desperate attempt to cope with their
underfunded pension systems.
d) making desperate attempts to cope with an inefficient
labour market.
e) regretting their generosity to workers who have taken
early retirement.

36- The Work and Pensions Secretary
a) a has been personally attacked by company bosses
who dislike her plans.
Minister calls for wider flexible working rights
British government ministers are considering giving all
employees the right to ask for flexible working hours “from
the beginning” of a new job as part of plans to encourage a
fundamental shift in working habits.
b) believes flexible working hours are a drawback for
many workers.
c) is seeking employers’ cooperation for new proposals
on working hours.
The Work and Pensions Secretary, Yvette Cooper, says her
office is working with employers and organisations such as
the federation of small businesses to draw up new ways of
supporting men as well as women and non-parents as well
as parents working more flexible hours.
d) shows scant regard for the needs of parents wanting
flexible timetables.
e) wants pensions to be paid to fathers who care for their
neonate infants.
The current rules are limited to parents of children under 16
and carers, and Cooper wants to extend them. “You want
people to offer flexible working from the beginning and
we need to look again at how the legislation can support
different ways of doing that,” she said.
37- Ms Cooper hopes her new proposals will give more flexible
working hours
a) from the outset, to workers of both genders.
b) to fathers of babies, concurrently with mothers.
“There will be some areas where it’s not possible to fit
round particular school hours or particular things where the
nature of the business makes it hard – but what you need
is the cultural change for everybody to think differently.”
Cooper’s proposals come as the government announced
that fathers will be given the right to six months’ paternity
leave.
c) after six months, to those established in their jobs.
d) to senior staff who want to start a family.
e) to parents and youth workers up to the age of sixteen.
There will be a legal right to take the mother’s place at
home for the last three months of a nine-month maternity
break; they would receive £123 a week in statutory pay.
Fathers would then be entitled to take a further three
months’ unpaid leave. The move was criticised by some
business leaders.
The International Labour Organization
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is devoted
to advancing opportunities for women and men to obtain
decent and productive work in conditions of freedom,
equity, security and human dignity. Its main aims are to
promote rights at work, encourage decent employment
opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen
dialogue in handling work-related issues.
(From: The Guardian, Friday 29 January 2010 -slightly adapted)
34- According to the text, current British laws on working
timetables are designed mainly for
Origins and history
a) women who work as secretaries for the government.
The ILO was founded in 1919, in the wake of a destructive
war, to pursue a vision based on the premise that universal,
lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon
decent treatment of working people. The ILO became the
first specialized agency of the UN in 1946.
b) parents of young children and teenagers, as well as
care workers.
c) men who have been in their current jobs for some
time.
ILO’s vision of decent work
d) women extending their maternity leave with unpaid
work.
Work is central to people’s well-being. In addition to
providing income, work can pave the way for broader social
and economic advancement, strengthening individuals,
their families and communities. Such progress, however,
hinges on work that is decent. Decent work sums up the
aspirations of people in their working lives.
e) those who want a change in the cultural mentality of
businesses.
35- With regard to paternity leave, the government has given
men the right to
Tripartism and social dialogue
a) take six months’ paid leave as soon as their baby is
born.
The ILO is the only ‘tripartite’ United Nations agency in that it
brings together representatives of governments, employers
and workers to jointly shape policies and programmes. This
unique arrangement gives the ILO an edge in incorporating
‘real world’ knowledge about employment and work.
b) care for a baby if the mother returns to work within three
months.
c) receive their full salary to look after the baby for three
out of the first six months.
Source: http://www.ilo.org/global/About_the_ILO/lang--en/index.htm
d) take a three-month break receiving payment when the
baby is six months old.
e) stay at home with the baby’s mother on unpaid leave
for six months.
12
38- The International Labour Organization seeks to
a) encourage social equality at international level.
b) foster workers’ rights and good working practices.
c) stamp out protectionism and restrictive practices.
d) promote national wealth through higher productivity.
e) overturn protective practices in the workplace.
39- The founders of the ILO believed that
a) the people must wake up again after a damaging war.
b) decent social rights must be promoted by advanced
countries.
c) individuals’ mercenary aims reinforce community life.
d) good working conditions are essential to maintain world
peace.
e) the ILO favours tripartite progress between men,
women and the UN.
40- The phrase “gives the ILO an edge” [paragraph 4 line 4]
means
a) offers the ILO a shove.
b) cuts the ILO to the quick.
c) sends the ILO to the rearguard.
d) lumps the ILO together with.
e) provides the ILO with an advantage.

Synopsis
Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot: Call it what you like, it
matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To
generals, it’s the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it’s
the chains of labour. But in The Ascent of Money, Niall
Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of
human progress. What’s more, he reveals financial history
as the essential back-story behind all history. The evolution
of credit and debt was as important as any technological
innovation in the rise of civilization, from ancient Babylon
to the silver mines of Bolivia. Banks provided the material
basis for the splendours of the Italian Renaissance, while
the bond market was the decisive factor in conflicts from
the Seven Years’ War to the American Civil War.
e) usually an expendable asset.

Trucks, Trains and Trees
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
No matter how many times you hear them, there are some
statistics that just bowl you over. The one that always stuns
me is this: Imagine if you took all the cars, trucks, planes,
trains and ships in the world and added up their exhaust
every year. The amount of carbon dioxide, or CO2, all those
cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships collectively emit into
the atmosphere is actually less than the carbon emissions
every year that result from the chopping down and clearing
of tropical forests in places like Brazil, Indonesia and the
Congo. We are now losing a tropical forest the size of New
York State every year, and the carbon that releases into
the atmosphere now accounts for roughly 17 percent of all
global emissions contributing to climate change. […]
With the clarity and verve for which he is famed, Niall
Ferguson explains why the origins of the French Revolution
lie in a stock market bubble caused by a convicted Scots
murderer. He shows how financial failure turned Argentina
from the world’s sixth richest country into an inflation-ridden
basket case – and how a financial revolution is propelling
the world’s most populous country from poverty to power in
a single generation.
“You need a new model of economic development — one
that is based on raising people’s standards of living by
maintaining their natural capital, not just by converting that
natural capital to ranching or industrial farming or logging,”
said José María Silva, a conservation expert. Right now
people protecting the rainforest are paid a pittance —
compared with those who strip it — even though we now
know that the rainforest provides everything from keeping
CO2 out of the atmosphere to maintaining the flow of
freshwater into rivers.
Yet the most important lesson of the world’s financial history
is that sooner or later every bubble bursts – sooner or later
the bearish sellers outnumber the bullish buyers – sooner
or later greed flips into fear. And that’s why, whether you’re
scraping by or rolling in it, there’s never been a better time
to understand the ascent of money.
21- This text could best be characterized as
a) the abstract of a doctoral dissertation.
The good news is that Brazil has put in place all the
elements of a system to compensate its forest-dwellers
for maintaining the forests. Brazil has already set aside 43
percent of the Amazon rainforest for conservation and for
indigenous peoples. Another 19 percent of the Amazon,
though, has already been deforested by farmers and
ranchers.
b) a detailed review of a book on economics.
c) a defense of money for publication in the popular
press.
d) publicity summarizing a recently-published book.
e) a psychological explanation of the power of money.
22- The five words that open the text [Bread, cash, dosh,
dough, loot] in paragraph 1 line 1 are
25- The main message of the first paragraph is that
a) deforestation is less damaging to the environment than
was traditionally believed.
a) economic jargon for the proceeds of human labour.
b) synonyms for money in colloquial usage.
b) vehicles driven by standard fuels are responsible for
17% of all CO2 emissions.
c) alternative expressions meaning profit.
d) everyday words for things money can buy.
c) the statistics surrounding forest clearance are grossly
exaggerated.
e) indications of the evil referred to in the next line.
23- The pronoun ‘it’ in paragraph 3 line 5 refers to
d) it is time to limit the CO2 emissions from the world’s
fleet of cars and trucks.
a) fear
e) forest clearance causes more CO2 emissions than all
the world’s vehicles together.
b) greed
c) bubble
d) scraping
e) money

a) out and out enthusiasm for the country’s prospects.
a) offering adequate financial reward to those who

b) reluctant dismissal of Brazil’s potential.
c) encouragement with minor reservations.
b) raising people’s living standards through squandering
natural capital.
d) unmitigated acclaim for the world’s 10th largest
economy.
c) putting a ban on large-scale cattle farming, planting
and wood extraction.
e) deliberate analysis of various pitfalls for investors.
d) making farmers pay for the flow of freshwater they use
in the Amazon.
29- Paragraph 1 of the text refers to Brazil’s hosting of the
2016 Olympic Games as
e) paying small sums of money to inhabitants who can
keep trees standing.
a) one in the eye for US investors looking for good
prospects.
b) a Brazilian victory in long-standing bitter economic
rivalry with the USA.
27- The writer ‘s view of Brazilian action shows
a) sharp criticism of Brazil’s failure to curb deforestation.
c) an example of unfair practices in Brazilian commercial
behavior.
b) mixture of praise for new policies and regret for past
destruction.
c) unqualified praise for Brazil’s far-sightedness.
d) an explanation of why Brazil is a new focus of
attention.

profits.

c) Brazil’s economy is till only grade B for investors.
d) Brazil lags behind the A-rated industrialized countries.
There’s a lot to like about South America’s biggest
economy. Hosting the Olympics and World Cup doesn’t
hurt either.
e) emerging nations are now only slightly behind
developed countries.
Suddenly everyone is talking about Brazil. This makes sense
considering that the colossus of South America out-hustled
President Obama and his hometown of Chicago to land the
2016 Olympics. It has also benefited by being the “B” part of
the BRIC group of emerging nations, in addition to Russia,
India and China. It’s an emerging power that some investors
have just learned about, though the pros have been hip to it
for some time.
From 2003 through 2007, Brazil ran record trade surpluses,
and its gross domestic product, at $1.99 trillion, is the
10th largest in the world. It has large and well-developed
agricultural, mining, manufacturing and service sectors, and
its economy is bigger than all other nations in South America
combined. Brazil is expanding its presence in world markets
and, as we have seen, the world’s playing fields.
There are also some significant drawbacks to Brazil.
Despite its potent GDP, rampant income inequality means
that its per capita wealth is 102nd in the world, slightly
behind the global average and noted powerhouse Serbia.
Brazil’s richest 10% reaps 43% of its wealth; in the U.S.
that number is 30%. Brazil’s bottom 10% earns a minuscule
1.1%. Still, there is a lot to like here, and our industry
observers are ready to buy.

Your answers to questions 21-24 must be based on the
text below.
e) did not go so far as.
24- The most suitable headline for this text would be
a) BRICs attack the falling dollar.
In June this year, the BRICs, the world’s newest economic
grouping, ended their first major summit by calling for a
stable, predictable and more diversified international
monetary system. But the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India
and China, stopped short of criticising the world’s dominant
currency, the US dollar. The group repeated calls for a
bigger say in the global financial system through greater
representation at major institutions, such as the World
Bank.
b) BRICs summit advocates financial stability.
c) Emerging nations seek to set up new financial union.
d) BRICs in disarray over financial crisis.
e) Nations favour increased powers for the World Bank.
Your answers to questions 25-30 must be based on the
text below entitled “Brazil boosts the dollar”.
Brazil boosts the dollar
But the final statement issued by the leaders made no
reference to developing new reserve currencies to challenge
the dollar, which Russia had called for at a separate event
earlier in the day.
How long can the run on the dollar continue? Last
year’s dollar slump, with its attendant rise in commodity
prices, ended when the market put paid to it. This time
governments are attempting to slow it down. But it is not,
as widely expected, the US government that is doing
this. Instead, the Canadian dollar dropped sharply on
Tuesday after the Bank of Canada issued a warning over
the currency’s recent strength. Brazil’s government went
further, imposing capital controls to stop the real gaining
at the dollar’s expense. Other countries, it appears, have
more to lose from a weak dollar than the US does.
Analysts say that as the global recession bites, the four Bric
nations are showing a growing willingness to work together.
One expert claimed the significance of the summit would
be political rather than economic.
(BBC News 16/6/09, adapted)
21- According to the text, at a meeting in June, the leaders of
the BRICs agreed on the need to
Perhaps as a result, there was a day’s pause in the
trade that has seen the dollar hit 14-month lows while oil,
denominated in dollars, briefly hit $80 a barrel before falling.
Brazil’s imposition of a 2 per cent tax on capital inflows, to
both stocks and bonds, showed strong intent. This move
brought the real, which has risen 54.5 per cent against the
dollar since its nadir, down by 3.8 per cent. The Bovespa
stock index, which has tripled since its low, fell 7.5 per cent
in dollar terms at one point.
a) play a more influential role in the international financial
order.
b) prevent recession biting their economies.
c) seek joint representation at institutions such as the
World Bank.
d) stop using the dollar as their reserve currency.
e) tone down the radical positions of Russia and China.
22- One effect of the global financial crisis, according to the
text, will be to cause
Brazil evidently fears that an overpriced real could endanger
its recovery. Other exporters will be watching closely.
a) Brazil, Russia, India and China to be known as the

government
c) increasing reliance on the dollar as the reserve
currency.
a) intends to promote the value of the dollar.
d) the BRICs to seek closer cooperation as a group.
b) is behaving imprudently.
e) a challenge to the significance of the BRICs as a
group.
c) has taken action to deflate the dollar.
d) has decided to shun the dollar.
e) is concerned about the over-valued dollar.

c) remained stable, despite fears of a market crisis.
d) first fell, then stabilized after commodity prices went

e) remained unaffected by the financial crisis.
27- Compared to Canada, according to the text, Brazil
a) showed more impressive signs of financial recovery.
b) intervened to protect its own currency.
c) took more drastic action to stem the fall in the dollar.
d) gave sharp warning over rising oil prices.

28- The writer claims that Canada and Brazil both appeared to
show
a) little concern about the falling value of the dollar.
b) more concern than the US over the weakness of the
dollar.
c) a benevolent desire to help the US in times of crisis.
d) an urge to promote the value of their own currencies.
e) a short-term desire to boost prices on their stock
markets.
29- The result of the new Brazilian tax on investments was
a) a rise of 54.5% in the value of the dollar.
b) a fall of 2% on the Brazilian stock market.
c) a drop of 7.5% in the dollar against the real.
d) an increase to $80 in the price of a barrel of oil.
e) a decrease of 3.8% in the value of the real.
30- The cause of Brazilian government action, according to
the text, is concern
a) about aggressive action by other exporting countries.
b) that there could be a dangerous run on its stock
market.
c) to keep pace with Canada in attacking the US
currency.
d) that its economic recovery could be harmed by an
over-priced real.
e) to avoid the overheating of its economy in the short
term.

Source: www.economist.com (Adapted) Sep 9th, 2010
Summit meetings involving Latin America´s
presidents are so frequent these days that Mexico´s
Mr Calderón has likened diplomacy in the region
to a mountain range. Yet for all the talk of regional
integration, political Latin America looks more divided
than ever. Mr Chávez likes to threaten war against
Colombia, which in turn accuses him of harbouring
its FARC guerrillas. Sub-regional trade groups such
as Mercosur and the Andean Community, which
made progress in the 1990s, have stagnated or fallen
apart.
Yet while politicians bicker, corporate Latin
America is quietly moving closer together. A growing
army of multilatinas have expanded abroad. Some,
like Embraer or Bimbo, have become global
multinationals. Many others, including Chilean
retailers and Brazilian banks and construction firms,
have expanded within Latin America. Some Mexican
firms, led by América Móvil, a telecoms giant, are
moving into Brazil. Until recently such firms tended
to list their shares in New York, but now a Latin
American capital market is poised to emerge. In
three to five years there will be a seamless network of
Latin American stock exchanges, including Mexico´s,
reckons Mr Oliveira of BRAIN Brasil.
The market-oriented reforms of the 1980s and
1990s, combined with a few years of commoditydriven prosperity, are transforming Latin American
business.

With the economy booming, poverty falling, and
an avid new middle class hitting the supermarkets and
malls, Brazil is in a sweet spot. Once a pushover for
financial turmoil, Brazil survived the Great Recession
largely unscathed and grew at the blistering pace of
10 percent in the first six months of 2010 (though
it may cool to 6 or 7 percent by year´s end). With
new offshore discoveries boosting its estimated oil
reserves to at least 9 billion barrels –and possibly
much more- the national oil giant, Petrobras, raised
$67billion in late September, the biggest publicshare offering in global financial history. Officials are
gussying up the country for the 2014 World Cup and
the 2016 Olympic Games, and arguing over what to
do with all the cash and glory that such international
showcases bring.

Up to a couple of years ago, I used to say that
the average person could protect his or her privacy
on the Web. Even as the founder of an online
reputation-management company, I believed it was
possible – so long as you were willing to commit some
time doing it. Today, I tell people this: the landscape
of personal data mining and exploitation is shifting
faster than ever; trying to protect your online privacy
is like trying to build your own antivirus software –
really, really difficult. But whether or not you have the
time (or money) to invest in the pros, there are a few
simple steps we can all take to reduce the risk to our

Identity thieves use birth dates as cornerstones
of their craft. If you want your friends to know your
birthday, try just the month and day, and leave out
the year.
2. Use multiple usernames and passwords.
Keep your usernames and passwords for social
networks, online banking, e-mail, and online shopping
all separate. Having distinct passwords is not enough
nowadays: if you have the same username across
different Web sites, your entire life can be mapped
and re-created with simple algorithms.
3. Shred.
If you are going to throw away credit-card offers, bank
statements, or anything else that might come in hard
copy to your house, rip them up into tiny bits first.

To sceptics all this talk of twittering, yammering
and chattering smacks of another internet bubble in the
making. They argue that even a huge social network such
as Facebook will struggle to make money because fickle
networkers will not stay in one place for long, pointing to
the example of MySpace, which was once all the rage but
has now become a shadow of its former self. Last year
the site, which is owned by News Corp, installed a new
boss and fired 45% of its staff as part of a plan to revive its
fortunes.
Within companies there is plenty of doubt about the
benefits of online social networking in the office. A survey
of 1,400 chief information officers conducted last year by
Robert Half Technology, a recruitment firm, found that only
one-tenth of them gave employees full access to such
networks during the day, and that many were blocking
Facebook and Twitter altogether. The executives’ biggest
concern was that social networking would lead to social
notworking, with employees using the sites to chat with
friends instead of doing their jobs. Some bosses also fretted
that the sites would be used to leak sensitive corporate
information.
Regulation Modernization
Source: www.iii.org (Adapted)Jan, 2010
Insurance is regulated by the individual states. The
move to modernize insurance regulation is being driven
in part by the globalization of insurance services. Some
large U.S. companies that operate in other countries
support the concept of a federal system that provides
one-stop regulatory approval while others believe the
merits of a state system outweigh the virtues of a single
national regulator. As a result of discussions about the
merits of each system, states are making it easier for
insurers to respond quickly to market forces.
States monitor insurance company solvency. One
important function related to this is overseeing rate
changes. Rate making is the process of calculating a
price to cover the future cost of insurance claims and
expenses, including a margin for profit. To establish
rates, insurers look at past trends and changes in the
current environment that may affect potential losses in
the future.

d) underestimated.
e) relevant.
The recent financial crisis has resulted in large losses
for the insurance industry. Industry conditions in the near
term remain tenuous, particularly as many companies will
continue to experience declining revenues, investment
losses, and credit rating downgrades, which can affect an
insurer’s ability to repay debt by having to pay a higher
interest rate. Additionally, insurance companies that were
trading in credit default swaps and other risky instruments
without sufficient hedging suffered especially hard, and
some companies even became insolvent. Companies with
prudent risk management strategies also suffered large
losses, because most investment instruments owned by
insurance companies experienced falling values as they
were being sold or marked down as the stock market
deteriorated in late 2008. Nonetheless, as insurers rebuild
capital and adhere to stricter Federal regulations, the
insurance industry is likely to stabilize.
The Internet is an important tool for insurance carriers
in reaching potential and existing customers. Insurance
carriers use the Internet to enable customers to access
online account and billing information, view insurance
quotes, and purchase policies.

Read the text below entitled “Currency disunion” in order to
Currency disunion
Apr 7th, 2012
The Irish left the sterling zone. The Balts escaped
from the rouble. The Czechs and Slovaks left each other.
History is littered with currency unions that broke up. Why
not the euro? Had its fathers foreseen turmoil, they might
never have embarked on currency union.
The founders of the euro thought they were forging a
rival to the American dollar. Instead they recreated a version
of the gold standard abandoned by their predecessors long
ago. Unable to devalue their currencies, struggling euro
countries are trying to regain competitiveness by “internal
devaluation”, ie, pushing down wages and prices. That
hurts: unemployment in Greece and Spain is above 20%.
And resentment is deepening among creditors. So why
not release the yoke? The treaties may declare the euro
“irrevocable”, but treaties can be changed.
One reason the euro holds together is fear of
financial and economic chaos on an unprecedented scale.
Another is the impulse to defend the decades-long political
investment in the European project. So, despite many bitter
words, Greece has a second rescue.
So the euro zone remains vulnerable to new shocks.
Markets still worry about the risk of sovereign defaults, and
of a partial or total collapse of the euro. Common sense
suggests that leaders should think about how to manage a
break-up.
21- In paragraph 1, the author claims that if the euro´s fathers
had foreseen turmoil, they would never have
a) begun a currency union.
b) replaced the euro.
c) maintained the euro zone currencies.
d) turned down a currency union.
e) devalued the euro.
22- In paragraph 2, the author points out that “struggling euro
countries” are
a) steadily recuperating competitiveness.
b) currently devaluing their currencies.
c) expected to value their currencies.
d) incapable of devaluing their currencies.
e) not allowed to push down wages and prices.

d) might still run for a political post.
Less than three months after it took office, Romania´s
government has fallen. The centre-right administration lost
a no-confidence vote filed by the left-wing opposition. When
the motion was originally filed few thought the government
was in danger. But in recent weeks it has been weakened
by a series of defections.
“Today there was justice,” celebrated Victor Ponta,
leader of the centre-left Social-Liberal Union (USL), after
securing 235 votes in favour of his motion, four more than
he needed. “We don´t want any more dubious firms, no
more selling under the market price and huge bribes,” he
said in a five-hour long debate that preceded the vote.
Traian Basescu, the president and main political
player in Romania, proposed Mr Ponta as prime minister
back in February when the previous government, led by
Emil Boc, resigned after three weeks of street protests
denouncing party cronyism, incompetence and harsh
austerity measures. Mr Ponta refused, but now he seems
more willing to step in thanks to the fair-weather politicians
who have flocked to his party from the centre-right.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), which began
an official visit to Romania earlier this week to review the
country´s performance linked to a 5 billion euro credit line
it was granted last year, announced it would suspend its
mission until a new government is in place. That may
not take long. But with Romanian governments showing
the longevity of mayflies, and the European Union (EU)
weary of a country that seems unable or unwilling to make
serious progress on the corruption problems that continue
to plague it five years after it was accepted into the club,
it will take a good deal longer for Romania to acquire the
clout that should come naturally to an EU country with 22m
people.
e) led decisive street protests for weeks.

Many Brazilians watched the closing ceremony of the
London Olympics with trepidation. “Do you think we will be
able to manage anything more than a couple of carnival
floats, some football and traffic jams?” mused one of my
friends.
It is a few years since I have heard such expressions
of national self-doubt. When I first arrived in Brazil, almost
10 years ago, the country had just elected its first leftwing
president, Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva. Both the currency
and stock exchange were in freefall as investors took fright.
Lula's first term in office combined cautious economic
orthodoxy and some critical social reforms. The minimum
wage was raised significantly and an innovative cash
transfer called Bolsa Família introduced for poor families.
A start was also made in reforming the Brazilian justice
system. At the same time the government kept an eye on
public spending, ran a primary budget surplus and began
to reduce the national debt.
These days the scenario has been changing.
Economic growth stalled last year, choked by a hugely
overvalued currency. This year looks even worse, as export
demand has been hit by the global recession. While the
government's success in reducing its still astronomically
high inequality was a spur to domestic demand, economic
growth was underpinned by the export of primary
commodities such as soya, coffee and iron ore.

The government announces plans to privatise
infrastructure, and disappoints striking bureaucrats. In
recent years Brazil's government has been able to avoid
tough spending choices. Faster economic growth and
falling tax evasion have translated into steadily rising
revenues, allowing the federal government to hire more
workers and pay them more, as well as to boost pensions
and social transfers. But the fat times are over. In 2011
economic growth was only 2.7%; this year 2% looks
optimistic. Tax revenues are rising only a little faster than
inflation. The government can no longer satisfy everyone.
The noisiest demands come from public-sector
workers. Teachers at federal universities have been on strike

Brazil's economy
Government spending and exports of commodities like soy
beans and metals to fast-growing countries in Asia, have
propelled Brazil's economy to sixth place in the world. But
red-hot growth when Latin America's largest economy
clocked in a 7.5% growth rate in 2010 appears to have
fizzled out.
A Coup in Paraguay
On June 22, 2012, the Paraguayan Senate invoked a
clause in the constitution which authorized it to impeach
the president for "poor performance in his duties." The
President was Fernando Lugo, who had been elected
some three years earlier and whose term was about to end
in April 2013. Under the rules, Lugo was limited to a single
term of office.
The economy stalled in May following an unexpected drop
in retail sales. That heightened fears for what was one of
the few bright spots of the world economy, making it the
worst performer among Brics nations. GDP grew just 0.2%
in the first quarter year-on-year, marking the third straight
quarter of near-zero growth.
Lugo charged that this was a coup, and if not technically
illegal, certainly illegitimate. Almost every Latin American
government agreed with this analysis, denouncing the
destitution, and cutting relations in various ways with
Paraguay.
There seem to be few signs that GDP growth will head back
up above the 2.6% posted last year. The Bank of Brazil
expects growth to be lower than 2.5%. The drop in retail
sales raised worries over Brazil's consumer-led growth
model, which was fuelled by rising incomes and easy
credit. In fact, the amount of loans that could not be paid
back hit an all-time high in May, underlining how Brazilians
are increasingly struggling to keep debt under control. That
prompted banks to tighten lending, and the central bank
cut interest rates for the eighth straight time in July to 8%.
The removal of Lugo had the negative consequence for
those who made the coup of making possible the one
thing the Paraguayan Senate had been blocking for years.
Paraguay is a member of the common market Mercosur,
along with Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Venezuela
had applied to join. This required ratification by the
legislatures of all five member states. All had long since
given their assent except the Paraguayan Senate. After
the coup, Mercosur suspended Paraguay, and immediately
welcomed Venezuela as a member.

ARMENIA tends to feature in the news because of its
problems (history, geography, demography and economics

than 40%. Remittances from the diaspora dropped by 30%.

few, high-profile businessmen dominate the economy.
Their monopolies and oligopolies put a significant brake

Text 1 Brazil's exports
Trade barriers imposed by Argentina on imports in general
have resulted in a drop of 16% in Brazil's exports to its
neighbor in the first half of this year. Between January and
June last year, Brazil sold goods worth US$ 10.43 billion to
Argentina. This year, during the same period, the value of
goods sold to Argentina is US$ 1.6 billion less.
In spite of the trade barriers, the executive secretary at
the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade,
Alessandro Teixeira, blames the international crisis for the
situation. "The cause of these problems is the international
crisis. It affects Argentina and it affects us, too," he
declared. Teixeira noted that negotiations have improved
the relationship with Argentina, that there has been a more
positive dialogue.
Brazil's exports to Eastern Europe are down 38% and
down 8% to the European Union in the first half. On the
other hand, they have risen by over US$ 2 billion to China
during the same period.

Text 2 South Korea banks in rate-rigging investigation
Text 3
A South Korea financial regulator has started an
investigation into alleged interest rate rigging by some of
the country's banks. The Fair Trade Commission is looking
at possible collusion over setting certificates of deposit
(CD), used as a benchmark to set lending rates. It follows
the Libor-rigging scandal involving Barclays and possibly
several other UK banks.
Read the commentaries from Rio+20, and you'd think a global
disaster had taken place. The UN multilateral system is said
to be in crisis. Pundits and NGOs complain that it was "the
greatest failure of collective leadership since the first world
war", "a bleak day, a disastrous meeting" and "a massive
waste of time and money".
Perspective, please. Reaction after the 1992 Rio summit was
uncannily similar. Countries passed then what now seem
far-sighted treaties and embedded a slew of aspirations and
commitments into international documents – but NGOs and
journalists were still distraught. In short, just like Rio 2012,
the meeting was said to be a dismal failure of governments
to co-operate.
A CD is a way of saving with a fixed interest rate and
maturity sold by banks and circulated in the secondary
market by brokerages. Financial firms benefit from a high
CD rates as many household loans are linked to them. They
are frequently used to help South Koreans buy homes. The
possible rigging of CD can help flatter companies' financial
health.
I was pretty downhearted then, too. So when I returned I
went to see Richard Sandbrook, a legendary environmental
activist who co-founded Friends of the Earth, and profoundly
influenced a generation of governments, business leaders and
NGOs before he died in 2005. Sandbrook made the point that
NGOs always scream blue murder because it is their job to
push governments and that UN conferences must disappoint
because all views have to be accommodated. Change, he
said, does not happen in a few days' intense negotiation. It
is a long, muddled, cultural process that cannot come from a
UN meeting.. Real change comes from stronger institutions,
better public information, promises being kept, the exchange
of views, pressure from below, and events that make people
see the world differently.
The indebtedness of South Koreans has become a
particular worry to the authorities as the economy slows.

banks may have

Questions 24 to 26 refer to the following text:
10 Steps to Export from China via Shipping
To illustrate the steps, here is a general process for
exporting from China by ship. It involves four parties: your
Supplier, the Shipping Agent, the Customs Agent, the
government’s Export Customs Authority.
INGLÊS
1. When the supplier of your product has finished
manufacturing your goods, he needs to contact a
Shipping Agent.
Questions 21 to 23 refer to the text below:
The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding
System generally referred to as "Harmonized System"
or simply "HS" is a multipurpose international product
nomenclature developed by the World Customs
Organization (WCO).
2. The Shipping Agent books space on a shipping
vessel.
It comprises about 5,000 commodity groups; each
identified by a six digit code, arranged in a legal and logical
structure and is supported by well-defined rules to achieve
uniform classification. The system is used by more than
200 countries and economies as a basis for their Customs
tariffs and for the collection of international trade statistics.
Over 98 % of the merchandise in international trade is
classified in terms of the HS.
4. The Customs Agent passes the documents to the
Exports Customs Authority and pays for the export
duties on behalf of the supplier.
3. The supplier provides the necessary documents to
the Customs Agent and delivers the goods to the
container terminal.
5. The Export Customs Authority may audit the goods
to validate the contents according to the documents.
6. If the goods are approved, the Customs Authority
issues Clearance Papers to the Customs Agent.
7. Once approved, the container is sealed and loaded
onto the shipping vessel.
The HS contributes to the harmonization of Customs and
trade procedures, and the non-documentary trade data
interchange in connection with such procedures, thus
reducing the costs related to international trade.
8. After the vessel has departed, the Shipping Agent
receives the shipment Bill of Lading which is a
shipment’s receipt.

Questions 27 to 30 refer to the following passage:
30- The conditions agreed upon mean that Latin American
banana growers will
Banana war ends after 20 years
a) receive only 114 euros per tonne of goods sold.
An international trade dispute over bananas dating back
two decades has finally been settled. The European Union
and 10 Latin American countries signed an agreement
to formally end eight separate World Trade Organization
(WTO) cases. The head of the WTO, Pascal Lamy, called it
a truly historic moment.
b) have retired by the time the new terms come into force.
c) ultimately pay 62 euros/tonne less on tariffs.
d) have to wait 8 years for the tariff reductions to begin.
e) see their produce sold at 176 euros per tonne in eight
years.
The formal agreement followed the EU agreeing in
December 2009 to gradually reduce the tariffs on Latin
American bananas. Latin American banana exporters had
long protested against EU tariffs designed to protect small
growers in former European colonies in Africa and the
Caribbean.
"After so many twists and turns, these complicated and
politically contentious disputes can finally be put to bed,"
Mr Lamy said. "It has taken so long that quite a few
people who worked on the cases, both in the secretariat
and in member governments have retired long ago." The
December 2009 agreement involved the EU reducing its
tariffs on imported bananas from 176 euros per tonne to
114 euros per tonne within eight years.
(Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20263308)
27- The banana trade dispute mentioned in the text
a) lasted well over twenty years.
b) relaxed EU-Latin America trade relations.
c) came to an end thanks to Pascal Lamy.
d) involved more than half a dozen cases.
e) was celebrated by WTO authorities.
28- At the center of the dispute was Latin American growers’
discontent about
a) reduced tariffs on their produce.
b) the low price paid on their bananas.
c) a formal agreement by the EU in 2009.
d) high EU tariffs on Caribbean produce.
e) special treatment to growers in former European
colonies.

Questions 59 to 62 refer to the text below:
Recruiters eye Brics to build business
Brazil’s dream of shedding its middle-income status is over,
some Bric observers have said. But to UK recruitment
agencies, the South American powerhouse still offers
something that is much harder to find close to home – huge
growth potential. Although Brazil’s gross domestic product
is estimated to have notched up less than 1 per cent growth
in 2012, UK recruitment groups are still opening offices
there and expanding deeper into the region.
“You will get these hiccups along the way,” says Steve
Ingham, chief executive of recruitment agency PageGroup
(formerly Michael Page International). “The economy won’t
always be as strong, but we will continue to invest through
the cycle such that our endgame is to have a lot more
offices and a lot more people in [Latin America].”
His company was one of the first big UK recruiters to
enter the region, about 13 years ago. There are now
more than a dozen offices and about 600 staff in Latin
America operating under PageGroup. Almost 10 per cent
of PageGroup’s business is generated in the region but
Mr Ingham “easily imagines” that rising to a fifth in the
near future. “Our expectations are enormous,” he says,
highlighting the potential beyond Brazil, in countries such
as Mexico and Chile. “We’re not just depending on Brazil
[to generate fees] any more.”
Other recruiters have followed suit, as part of their
expansion away from the saturated UK market to fastergrowing economies in Asia and beyond. Hays recently
opened offices in Colombia and Chile, and Brazil is already
the sixth-largest country in the group, based on net fees.

59- The overall purpose of the text is to show that the UK
recruitment industry
a) is expanding operations across Brics countries.
b) is shifting its investments away from Brazil.
c) expects growing business in Latin America.
d) has lost hope in the domestic market altogether.
e) is disappointed with Brazil’s economic performance.

What does all this, and likely developments in the years
to come, mean for where a baby might be luckiest to be
born in 2013? After crunching its numbers, the EIU has
Switzerland comfortably in the top spot, with Australia
second. Small economies dominate the top ten. Half of
these are European, but only one, the Netherlands, is from
the euro zone. The Nordic countries shine, whereas the
crisis-ridden south of Europe (Greece, Portugal and Spain)
lags behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate.
The largest European economies (Germany, France and
Britain) do not do particularly well.
60- In the view of the PageGroup’s CEO, economic
slowdowns in Latin America
a) may be cyclical.
b) will spiral out of control.
c) are here to stay.
d) cause hiccups in investors.
e) give rise to optimism.
61- In the past 13 years, the recruitment agency’s business
strategy has been
America, where babies will inherit the large debts of the
boomer generation, languishes back in 16th place. Despite
their economic dynamism, none of the BRIC countries
(Brazil, Russia, India and China) scores impressively.
Among the 80 countries covered, Nigeria comes last: it is
the worst place for a baby to enter the world in 2013.
a) stalled by a dwindling potential in Latin American
markets.
b) responsible for placing 600 workers in over 12
companies.
c) highlighting Brazil’s potential in countries like Mexico
and Chile.
Source: The Economist print edition (adapted), Nov 21, 2012.
d) focused on swelling operations in Latin America.
e) behind the company’s rise to fifth place in the region.
63-The text sets out to describe how a quality-of-life index
62- It can be concluded from the passage that as far as Latin
America is concerned,
a) has improved since Warren Buffet’s time.
b) rates BRIC nations below the expectations.
a) Brazil and Chile have topped investments by UK
recruiters.
c) is based primarily on subjective factors.
b) Brazil has been targeted by more than one European
recruitment group.
e) rated 80 countries based on their 2013 status.
d) produced similar ratings to a predecessor in 1988.
64- It can be said about the criteria used to rate countries on
this survey that they
c) the PageGroup pioneered recruitment services in the
region.
d) UK recruitment agencies consider its growth potential
second to none.
a) include both objective and subjective aspects.
e) the region still lags behind Asia and other emerging
markets.
c) lean favorably towards EU powerhouses.
b) are biased towards poorer European countries.
d) underestimate life-satisfaction perceptions.
e) cover more than a dozen determinants.
Questions 63 to 66 refer to the following text:
65- Regarding Brazil’s rating in the survey, the text considers
that it
Where to be born in 2013
Warren Buffett, probably the world’s most successful
investor, has said that anything good that happened to him
could be traced back to the fact that he was born in the
right country, the United States, at the right time (1930).
A quarter of a century ago, when The World in 1988 lightheartedly ranked 50 countries according to where would
be the best place to be born in 1988, America indeed came
top. But which country will be the best for a baby born in
2013?
a) exceeded expectations.
b) preceded all the BRICs.
c) was impressively high.
d) has improved over time.
e) was somewhat disappointing.
66- The ranking that can be inferred from the information in
the passage puts
a) the Netherlands behind Spain.
To answer this, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), a
sister company of The Economist, has this time turned
deadly serious. It earnestly attempts to measure which
country will provide the best opportunities for a healthy,
safe and prosperous life in the years ahead. Its qualityof-life index links the results of subjective life-satisfaction
surveys—how happy people say they are—to objective
determinants of the quality of life across countries. Being
rich helps more than anything else, but it is not all that
counts; things like crime, trust in public institutions and the
health of family life matter too. In all, the index takes 11
statistically significant indicators into account.
b) Australia ahead of the USA.
c) only three European countries in the top 10.
d) Nigeria as a middling country.
e) Portugal and France in a similar position.

Questions 67 and 68 are about the following text:
In the World Economy, the Ditch Is Never Far Away
WHEN you see a car being driven firmly within its lane and
well under the speed limit, there’s nothing to worry about.
Or is there? If you’re David A. Rosenberg, the glass-halfempty economist, there most certainly is. He says the world
economy is like that car. And where others see stability and
recovery, he sees “a car being driven by a drunk, lurching
from side to side on the road, narrowly avoiding the ditches
each time.”
At this particular moment, he says, the car happens to be
in the middle of the road. But he can’t help but ask, “Is
that because the driver has sobered up, or is it because
the car is just passing through the middle on its way to the
ditch on the other side?” Mr. Rosenberg isn’t certain of the
answer. But despite the cheer pervading the stock market
and the relatively upbeat perspective of most economists,
he says he isn’t convinced that the car will remain safely
out of those ditches.
Formerly the chief North American economist at Merrill
Lynch, and now proudly back in his native Canada as
chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff in Toronto,
Mr. Rosenberg writes a market newsletter that is always
provocative, often cantankerous and frequently out of step
with the Wall Street consensus. “I’d say I’m as pragmatic as
possible and not locked into one position,” he says, “but I
do understand that I have a much better record forecasting
rain than in predicting the return of sunshine.”
Source: Jeff Sommer, in The New York Times, February 2, 2013 (adapted)
67- In the passage, economist David Rosenberg is portrayed as
a) a realist.
b) an optimist.
c) a pragmatist.
d) a pessimist.
e) an escapist.
68- The sentence that best sums up the main idea in the
passage is:
a) it is easier to forecast rain than sunshine.
b) it’s best to see a glass half-empty.
c) the world economy’s recovery is not certain.
d) economic stability is never long lasting.
e) economists can be likened to drunken drivers.
