Directions: Read the following passages and then answer IN COMPLETE SENTENCES the
questions which follow each passage. Use only information from the passage you have just read
and write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
Questions 1~4
A judge condemned4 European Union laws against corporal punishment and the rise in
single-parent families as he sent two young arsonists6 to a secure unit yesterday.
Sentencing the boys, aged7 ten and 13, to two and a half years, Judge Rodwell QC said in
Luton Crown Court that the abolition8 of corporal punishment in schools had left teachers unable
to discipline unruly youngsters, leading to an increase in delinquency.
The boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, set fire to a neighbour's house as they
roamed the streets of a council estate after being expelled from school.
Judge Rodwell said: "With the best intention in the world corporal punishment has been
abolished and indeed that is a requirement of the EU".
"But this has resulted in an extremely unsatisfactory situation. Nobody wants children to be
flogged but it is no longer possible for a teacher to deal with even a minor9 incident by a cuff
round the ear or a smack10 on the hand, which is swift and and something the child entirely
understands and stops minor incidents escalating11.
"If the child does not respond to being told not to bring gin into school or beat his mates up
the teacher has to go through discipline procedures. If the correct procedures are followed a great
deal of verbiage12 comes out which may satisfy the intelligent niceties of educationists but has no
impact on a great number of children. Suspension is hardly a sanction."
The judge expressed concern over single-parent families, and said that children needed two
parents. The boys had both come from broken homes. He said:"Both children come from homes
where a father for a lot of the time was not present. It is often said that in single-parent homes
children can be given as much love as they need but that is not the entire answer."
During their trial last month the court was told that the two boys were among a gang of
children who harassed13 the Smith family on the Downside estate, Dunstable, Bedfordshire.
One day, the boys put paper through the letter box and tried to set light to it, but failed.
Then a woman neighbour, described by the judge as "the neighbour from hell". lent them a
lighter so they kicked the door in and started a fire a on a hall table.
The blaze left the house uninhabitable, causing £4,000 damage to the building and
destroying virtually everything the family owned. The boys denied arson5.
1. Why were the two boys sent to a secure unit?
2. What is corporal punishment referred to in this passage? Cite examples of corporal
punishment from the passage.
3. What are the advantages of corporal punishment, according to Judge Rodwell?
4. Explain in your own words the statement "suspension is hardly a sanction" (para. 6)?
Question 5~7
Five train companies will have to ask for more cash from the next government to run
services, according to a report out yesterday.
The study, conducted by a former transport analyst14 with City accountants Coopers and
Lybrand for Save Our Railways, the pressure group, claimed that many private operators bid so
aggressively for train services they will be unable to meet the ambitious targets they have set
themselves.
Another four franchises15 are likely to run into financial difficulties, making losses even if
they manage to increase revenues by 16 per cent over seven years.
The loss-making franchises--Cardiff Railways, West Anglia and Great Northern and South
Wales and West, Thameslink and Thames Trains--are likely to require more than £500m in
extra subsidy16 in order to keep trains running.
"There has been concern in the rail industry for some time about the way that some of the
later franchises were let to bidders17 who were taking a gamble," said Keith Bill, national secretary
of Save Our Railways.
The City's initial concerns about rail privatisation have meant that many early bids were
"given away". South West Trains, which introduced an emergency timetable after cutting driver
numbers, is predicted to make nearly £480m if it grows at 3 per cent a year.
Also likely to make bumper18 profits are Great Western, which runs express InterCity
services from London to the west country and could make £462m, and French-based company
CGEA, in line for more than £600m from its two commuter19 services. Campaigners point out
that Opraf, the government body which let out franchises, realised that some would make money
and others would run into difficulties.
Train companies said that the growth forecasts were too low. "In two years we have
increased our takings by 50 per cent," said a spokesman for Thames Trains. "So we expect to
grow for faster than this report estimates."
The analysis should jolt20 Labour's rail policy into life. The speed sell-off of British Rail has
caught the party off-guard and forced its transport team into a series of embarrassing
U-turns--which has culminated21 in a decision not to take any bankrupt train service into public
hands.
"We will consider all the options and as a last resort we will offer a bankrupt train srvice to
private bidders in order to secure the best deal for the taxpayer," said a sopkeswoman for
Andrew Smith, the shadow Secretary of State of Transport.
Senior railway managers point out that this would mean that the Labour party would be
forced into paying more subsidy.
5. Why are some train companies likely to make losses even if they manage to increase revenue?
6. What does the sentence "many early bids were `given away'" (para. 6) mean?
7. According to the passage, what are the impacts of the speed privatisation of British Rail on the
Labour Party?
Question 8~10
The message in London's singles flat market is clear if you can find anything you like then
buy now, Dixie Nichols writes.
London is seeing "a vibrant22 and wealthy singles flat market" according to David Salvi of
the Clerkenwell agents Hurford, Salvi and Carr. The middle market flat agents Douglas &
Gordon and Chestertons both say prices in the sector23 are up 20 per cent on a year ago, both say
this sector has improved by 20 per cent in the past 12 months, and both have a backlog24 of
buyers.
Melissa Carter, of Douglas & Gordon's Battersea office, says: "What was a good offer two
months ago looks about right now. the deals are holding and valuers (who had been acting25 as a
brake) are now prepared to follow."
Buyers in the singles market come wielding26 big deposits (up to a third of the price is not
unusual), and frequently leapfrog the studio and one-bed flats starting in at two beds. Often the
second bed is let to a friend to take the sting out of the mortgage.
Although agents complain of there not being enough stock, there is a steady influx27 from the
commercial block conversions28. The new wave of developments is hitting the market now.
The market is hungry and snaps up anything well priced. The Ziggurat Building in
Clerkenwell, north London, sold all 34 units in its first phase within an hour of opening its doors,
but the price was exceptional--£140 a sq ft when most schemes hover29 at £200 to £250.
The developers' headline price may not have shot up in the past year but the amount of
space you get for your money has been shaved, When Sapcote's Beauchamp Building in Hatton
Garden, central London, was introduced last September the shell sizes of 1,200 to 1,400 sq ft
were said to be far too small. When launched in January the market was impressed by their size.
London flat agents have no problem in forecasting a 10 per cent rise over the next 12
months despite election wobbles. It may be better than that: Simon Agace of Winkworth, says:
"The top of the flat market has already followed the house market's summer spring and the
middle range will follow."
8. What is implied in the message "If you can find anything you like then buy now."?
9. Why do buyers often choose the two-bed flats?
10. What does the example of "Sapcote's Beauchamp Building in Hatton Gardon, central
London" tell us?
