Names of examiners: .................................................................. .................................................................. 20 Level 3 Model Exam TASK ONE You are going to read two texts. For questions 1 6 choose the answer (A, B or C), which fits best according to the texts. Text One Mortar Fire Challenge U.S. Army deployed its 20-year old upgraded TPQ-37 Firefinder Weapon Locating System to Iraq. The service developed new software to bring the system up to date. But the upgraded system failed to do what it was intended to do: detect mortar rounds. For members of the 1st Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the TPQ-37 was more of a problem than an asset. The unit came under mortar fire 40 times in Iraq, but the system only detected rounds three times. The squadron suffered between 10 and 15 injuries from mortars. We tried everything humanly possible to work out the system, said Lt. Col. Reilly, squadron leader. The unit even fired its own mortars at the system. Several factors have complicated the use of TPQ-37s in theatre. For one, soldiers were trained only briefly on the new software before going to Iraq. We did training with soldiers on the ground on the new software, but they didn t get the full course of instruction, the months and years of peacetime training, Col. Michael Bowman, Army program manager, said. Meanwhile, the Army is planning to send teams of Firefinder experts to the field to work on training, while Raytheon, the producer, are working to upgrade the TPQ-37 s performance. The use of the system in Iraq has prompted the Army to re-evaluate its future mortar detection systems. The TPQ-47, developed by Raytheon, originally expected in the field several years ago, is still in development and could get cancelled in favor of a short-range system that offers 360- degree coverage. The TPQ-47 model can detect artillery as far as 400 kilometers, but offers only 90- degree coverage. Raytheon is disappointed that the fate of the TPQ-47 is unclear because recent tests have been very encouraging. 1. The American soldiers were in trouble because they & A. didn t see the enemy fire B. couldn t operate the mortar C. came under friendly fire 2. Currently & A. the system is being improved by the producer B. soldiers are being familiarized with the software C. the untrained troops are being replaced 3. The alternative to TPQ-47 system has the advantage of & A. a longer range B. a greater coverage C. an earlier completion date 21 Level 3 Model Exam Text Two Army Logisticians Get SatCom Boost When the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division heads back to Iraq later this year, their logisticians will bring new satellite communications terminals called Very Small Aperture Terminal (CSS VSAT) that will help them provide improved combat support. Army logistics were determined to fix problems during the March 2003 drive to Baghdad, where support troops equipped with antiquated terrestrial communications systems often had to wait days to use ad hoc line-of-sight communications towers, causing severe delivery delays. And the first priority of the towers was to go to the tactical formations, so it was taking three or four days before the support units had the priority. The introduction of VSAT should considerably reduce threats for the supply personnel who had to literally rely on the sneaker net and physically carry information around the theatre. The crucial supply data could have been not only lost but also seized by the enemy intelligence to further hamper already slow supplies. Developed recently by the Army's G-4 acquisition shop in the Pentagon and its transmission systems program office at Fort Monmouth, the CSS VSAT dish is smaller - only 4 feet in diameter - and easier to use. Contrary to the existing system, once the VSAT device is set, it does not need further adjusting. It automatically links with either the Defense Satellite Communications System or commercial satellites and stays connected, which allows defence managers to monitor supply-chain instantly. The MoD plans to provide CSS VSAT systems to all Army divisions when they transform in the next several years into smaller, more modular brigade. CSS VSAT will replace those "not quite as sophisticated" devices now in the field. 4. The problem with the old communications system was that & A. it often broke down B. it was too visible C. it had limited access 5. Thanks to VSAT, & A. information will be more accurate B. messages will be better protected C. supply deliveries will be safer 6. Contrary to the old system, VSAT & A. provides on-the-ground connection B. requires more skills to be operated C. connects to non-military satellites 22 Level 3 Model Exam TASK TWO You are going to read an interview with Prince Abdullah from Saudi Arabia. Seven questions have been removed from the interview. Choose from questions A - H the one which you think fits best each paragraph 7 - 13. There is an extra question which you do not need to use. 7. _____ How can a relationship that has been strong and solid for over six decades be questioned like this? I sense that there is some resentment about the relationship, and of the Kingdom, that I frankly don't understand. Somebody must be trying to drive a wedge. There is no enmity at all between the Saudi government and the American government, or between the Saudi people and the American people. 8. _____ America is a friend. America's interests are as important to us as our own interests. America cannot fight alone. It will be tiring, difficult and expensive, with human and material losses, and it will cause the number of America's enemies to multiply. America cannot be the sole policeman of the world. I have a recommendation to make: every nation, under U.N. auspices, should sign an international agreement and commit to combating terrorism and drugs. If a country refuses to combat terrorism and drugs, it should be punished. 9. _____ I do not believe that the war on terrorism applies to any of those countries. If you have a situation of terrorism in any of them, it is the result of a small fringe group and not government policy. 10. _____ Just the opposite. In the past there were tensions, but these have been worked out. It is a large nation, and it is in the interests of all the Gulf countries to calm matters and maintain stability. 11. _____ Justice. We have a means and a process to arrive at a solution: the Tenet plan and the Mitchell report. On both sides are human beings who have emotions that affect their actions and reactions. As a first step, we can separate the two sides and introduce peacekeepers. And then it will be time to pressure both sides to return to the negotiating table. 12. _____ He cannot control all the Palestinians. Especially, while they are being shelled and killed by the Israelis. The Israeli people may not be the guilty ones. Responsibility lies squarely with the person who gave the orders. You cannot break out of this cycle of violence when the Prime Minister of Israel orders planes to drop bombs and sends tanks to invade villages. 13. _____ May God spare us. It would shake the Arab and Muslim world and destroy the credibility of anyone who was involved in this move. Forever. A. Is Iran a destabilizing influence? B. Do you favour extending the war on terrorism to Iran and Iraq? C. What is the truth about Saudi-American tensions? D. What is your solution to the Palestinian issue? E. How much has Bin Laden contributed to instability in the Middle East? F. Do you support America's war on terrorism? G. What happens if Arafat is eliminated as a negotiating partner? H. Is the violence Arafat's fault? 23 Level 3 Model Exam TASK THREE You are going to read a newspaper article. For questions 14 20, choose the answer A, B, C or D. The very name Oxford guaranteed this scandal would resonate. Two officials of Pembroke College, one of Oxford's 39 colleges, had to quit last week in disgrace when it emerged they were willing to admit a bright but not outstanding boy whose father was offering to contribute $420,000. Unfortunately for them, the "father" was a reporter for the Sunday Times. Pembroke and Oxford swiftly repudiated their supposedly disobedient officials. All Britain united in condemning the sale of university places. And who could disagree? In modem meritocracies, state-funded universities are supposed to cultivate talent, not incubate the already privileged. All the same, I find myself averse to the neatness of this morality tale. Its main villain is unconvincing. The college chaplain and former admissions tutor who told the reporter his money would talk, Rev. John Platt, is described by former students as devoted to their welfare and assiduous in touring state schools to encourage applications from bright kids without money. He wasn't seeking a bribe for himself, but worrying about Pembroke which he cheerfully described as "poor as shit." Education is noble, but it is a business, too. World-class universities must compete in a world market for top-flight professors, research grants and funds to build labs and support needy students. Oxford and Cambridge have huge advantages over less famous universities, but with the country spending a smaller portion of its GDP on universities than 20 years ago, they too must struggle. Compared to American universities in particular, they are poor and getting relatively poorer. Harvard professors earn 70% more, on average, than their Cambridge counterparts. All U.K. universities put together were able to harvest $414 million from their investments in 2000; the comparable figure for Yale alone this year is $405 million. Oxford is proud that its spin-off companies are collectively worth about $3 billion; graduates of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, had founded over 4,000 companies with revenues of $232 billion. And because Oxford remains a peculiarly federal institution, some colleges have vast holdings while others like Pembroke scrape by. Where else could Rev. Platt's colleagues scare up a few bucks? Not from the government: for the first time it is now asking students to pay some of their tuition and living costs, so it can free up funds not to lavish on elite schools, but to expand student numbers across the country. Not from increased tuition: the government won't let Oxford charge more than other universities, though many students (and their parents) would certainly pay it. Like other colleges, Pembroke already runs conferences and strives for lucrative foreign students, whom the government requires to pay close to full freight. What about graduates generosity? Here too Oxford is playing catch-up to the U.S. With the government trying to cut off many cultural and educational institutions from state funding, virtually all of them have started to approach the same limited group of donors. But middle-class Brits are a tough sell, because they graduated when government used to cover the whole cost. My wife attended Somerville College, Oxford, 20 years ago. Then the college didn't ask its graduates for gifts; it didn't even know who they were. There was no list. The principal decided to compile one and gave the job to her husband, who labored part-time for several years without benefit of computer or even an electric typewriter. The university shifted to a professional fund-raising operation 15 years ago, but it is still feeble. Last month my wife received a phone call from a Somerville student fund-raiser, a welcome innovation. But the caller seemed embarrassed to ask for $20 a month. Pembroke's last master, Robert Stevens, retired early, largely because the fund-raising burdens were exhausting him. So if Rev. Platt was willing to create an extra place for a student whose entrance exam grades were two As and one B instead of three As, was that so bad if future Pembrokians would benefit $420,000? Especially when, as any admissions officer will admit over a drink, it is almost impossible to determine who in a pile of reasonably bright 17-year-olds will turn out to be the best student three years from now, let alone manifest creativity needed for a brilliant career. British students specialize early. They win university places on the basis of three written exams graded by strangers, usually teachers on holiday with a big pile to get through. To claim that the results of this process provide some self-evidently fair and complete measure of potential to excel at university is just silly. 24 Level 3 Model Exam 14. The scandal broke out after & A. a poor but brilliant student was refused a place at college B. some college officials revealed secrets to the Sunday Times C. a student was promised a place in return for a financial donation D. some Oxford officials were fired for breaking admission procedures 15. According to former Pembroke students, Rev. John Platt & A. cared about the well-being of Pembroke College B. looked for ways to make himself more money C. favoured students from rich backgrounds D. talked unfavourably about Pembroke College 16. The third paragraph mainly shows that & A. governmental help for British universities is too small B. universities concentrate on making money too much C. good professors are underpaid in British universities D. higher education involves a lot of money-making 17. It can be deduced from the fourth paragraph that & A. foreign students pay higher tuition than British students B. some universities receive higher governmental grants C. tuition at Oxford is higher that in other universities D. higher education is too expensive for British students 18. The author s wife s example shows that & A. it is necessary to complete university documents B. graduates are unwilling to give money C. it is necessary to create professional fund-raising D. fund-raising, although imperfect, has started 19. The author s attitude towards Rev. John Platt could be described as & A. understanding B. critical C. ironic D. thankful 20.

So, that s the programme. Now, I must tell you one thing before we begin this exercise. This exercise has been created at great expense. A lot of time, money and effort has gone into providing this training opportunity for you. You must make the most of it by giving it your full attention. I will not tolerate any indiscipline during this exercise. Anyone not taking this training seriously will be thrown off the course immediately. And a report of your behaviour will be sent to your commanding officer. Well, that seems to be all. I hope you enjoy this training and make the best use of it.

What is more, since we entered to NATO in 1999 Polish Forces have became thrustworthy in many people eyes. I think there are several aspects of good opinion Polish forces. At the beginning I have to say that we have had new subsequent procurements. We bought a new plane and an armed vehical. Such procurements influence for our combat capabilities. Next, in my opinion conditions of work also impact on public view for military duty. Two main pluses of this work could be its quite well salary and that it is stable. I have read some online opinions recently and these two points were mentioned very often. Moreover, Polish forces were assessed as a compulsory bad thing. Now more people enrol to the Army. More young boys sing contracts. Forces are seen as a good place for university graduates, too. I suppose thanks for this Polish Forces are more professional and better educated. For last ten years Polish Forces have changed their structure and equipment. New procurements and increasing participation in military operations influence on public opinion. Particularly young boys want to serve in a modern army. I suppose that in next few years Polish Forces will retain good opinion and position in Polish society.

This report is based on recent polls conducted among both men in service and civilians. Education and Professionalism The resent research has shown that the level of education of Polish soldiers has doubled within the last ten years. As a consequence, many Polish people consider their soldiers to be fully skilled and professional. Moreover, thanks to their high qualifications, soldiers are also sought on the civilian job market. Awareness of Changes Polish society is also aware that the army has been changing consistently to meet the requirements of the contemporary battle field and face new threats such as international terrorism. Procurements of the newest equipment and technologies, and an implementation of more efficient methods of training often make headlines in the press. As a result, people believe that money from their taxes is not wasted and the army is able to fulfill its duties very well. Volunteers Due to the economic situation in Poland, the number of volunteers has been increasing. The army is believed to provide stable employment and opportunities to gain knowledge. Additionally, the pictures of the army shown in TV news regarding the operation in Iraq make young people to think that joining the military guarantes exciting and adventurous career. Conclusion All things considered, I believe that the high opinion of the army among the Polish society will remain on the current level or even increase due to recent changes and new experiences of the Polish military.

Introduction The aim of this report is to present a public opinion about Polish army and how will it change in the future. Equipment and Training Our army has totally changed recently, because of different doctrine and also different aims. Reduction of our troops and buying modern equipment caused that Polish army has became more professional. These changes have an influence on public opinion. The majority of Polish society say that they trust the army more now than in the past. They see soldiers as educated and experience people who can work professionally. Army Good Solution The research of public opinion show that contrary to the past now many young people want to join the army. Their point of view changed because army can give them education, good salary and also stable job. When they join the army they do not have to worry about their future. Moreover, they can count that their job will not be boring. Polish soldiers take a part in peacekeeping missions abroad and people start to think that army career is interesting and exciting. Future Polish army will totally change in the future. It will be more professional and equipped in modern weapons. What is more our troops will be taking a part in conflicts all over the world. All of these things will have influence on public opinion and give soldiers more trust and respect.

I would like to present current situation in Poland and include my own opinion and some prediction. Firstly, as you probably know, Polish military forces are constantly improving its armament, combat abilities and education of its soldiers. Poland bought new patrol carries in Finland, obtain new F-16 fighters from the USA. Such events are connected with transfer of new technologies, that make possible in future to produce brand new Polish equipment. More Polish soldiers train in American bases, which are widely known as the best in the world. Let me add that these factors have improved image of Polish army in society. In my opinion Polish soldiers are seen as well educated and professional. Ten years ago the situation was totally different and people thought that Polish army consisted of individuals without education and professional skills. Moreover, I suppose that young individuals tend to think that army gives stable jobs and good salaries. It is not always true, so such thinking proves that army should provide people with more detailed information about possible work in military forces. In fact situation of soldiers is rather hard especially in connection with high demands, that should fulfill Polish officers or NCOs. For example every Polish officer should possess NSC degree. Such demands makes very good image of Polish army among society. People think that army consist of intelligent individuals fully devoted to their duties. Finally, be aware that military officials try to introduce profesional privates and to make compulsory service more interesting for young soldiers. Despite financial problems we manage to slowly introduce this reform with full support from society. I hope that you find these informations helpful. Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further question. I look forward to hearing from you.
