The World‟s Petrol Crisis
D.1. Read the passage below and then choose the correct answer according to the passage.
The world‟s petroleum supply will not last forever, but the big question is this: When will the petrol
actually begin to finish? Some scientists think that this will happen between the years 2030 and 2040, and some
think it will happen a few years later. But one thing seems certain: the petrol supply is going to start finishing
soon. Because of higher petrol prices these days, a lot of people think that we need to start worrying about this
problem now. More people are coming into the world every day, and so the world is using more petrol every
day. Because of this, the end of the petrol supply will create a lot of serious problems for the world: economic
problems, political problems and social problems.

What can we do about these potential problems today? Here is one possibility: we will start to use other
alternatives, different from petrol. The best alternatives are renewable energy sources; in other words, we can
always use them and they do not finish. One example of this is electricity, and another example is solar power.
For instance, in the case of an electric car, there will be battery-charging stations in place of petrol stations; in
the case of solar-powered car, the car will absorb energy directly from the sun. But there are possible problems
with these kinds of cars. For example, battery-charging stations will rely on large power stations for the
electricity, and these days, petrol provides the power for most power stations: this will need to change. As for
solar-powered cars, night-time driving will create problems, and cloudy and rainy days will, too.

But we can solve these problems, and in fact, many scientists are working on electric and solar-power
technology right now. Car makers are not happy about this fact, because their business depends on petrol-
powered cars. But in the end, their business will need to change, because petrol is not going to be on our planet
forever.

1. The supply of the petroleum in the world ……. .

a) is creating a high population
b) will start to finish soon
c) is going down every year
d) will drop in price soon

2. The passage mentions ……. kinds of alternative energy.

a) three b) two c) four d) five

3. Power stations get their energy mostly from …….. .

a) petrol b) electricity c) solar power d) battery-charging stations

4. Car companies ……. .

a) don‟t believe the scientists‟ words
b) are beginning to change their businesses
c) are studying electric and solar-power technology
d) do not want electric or solar-powered cars

Last Monday, Lucy started a new job as a computer operator in a multinational company. It has some
advantages, but also some disadvantages over her previous job.
She‟ll get a much better salary in her new job. This means (1) she will be able to buy more elegant clothes and
spend more on entertainment from now on. She didn‟t earn well in her previous job, so most of the time she (2) had
to stay at home while her friends were going to dance clubs or other places because she (3) couldn‟t afford to go
out very often.
But her previous work had an advantage- it started at 10 o‟clock, so Lucy (4) didn‟t have to get up very early.
Her new job, however, starts at 8:30, so, since last Monday, she (5) has had to leave home at 7:30 to get to work on
time. On Wednesday, she didn‟t hear the alarm clock and overslept. She left home in a hurry and took a taxi.
“Quick. I (6) have to be in Trafalgar Square by 8:30,” she said to the taxi driver. It wasn‟t easy for him to get there
quickly in the heavy traffic, but he took the side roads and managed to get there at 8:25, so Lucy (7) was able to
enter the office at precisely 8:30.

At the moment, Lucy is at home relaxing in an armchair and watching TV. “I (8) must go to bed early on work
days,” she thought, “and I (9) mustn‟t be late for work because I don‟t want to lose my job.” But she (10) doesn‟t
have to go to bed early tonight because it‟s her day off tomorrow, and she (11) won‟t have to get up early.
Lucy is quite happy with her new job. She knows that, from now on, she (12) won‟t be able to sleep until late on
work days, but she doesn‟t mind this. She believes that worrying about money is much worse than having to get up
early.

TRAIN CRASH IN GERMANY

People think trains 1) ……………………………………….. (take) them

to their destinations in the safest way possible, compared to automobiles, buses or
planes. A counter example to this belief came from Germany on Feb. 9, 2016.
After a crash in Germany between two trains that came from opposite directions,
10 people 2) ……………………………………….. (die), at least 17 passengers
3) ……………………………………….. (injure), and one person is missing. At
the time of the accident, there 4) ……………………………………….. (be) about
150 passengers on the two trains. “There‟s a curve there, where the accident happened, so we believe that the
train drivers 5) ……………………………………….. (not/can/see) each other beforehand,” German Transport
Minister Alexander Dobrindt said. “This is a difficult hour for the railways in Germany. We 6)
……………………………………….. (not/have) a big crash like this for years,” explained Dobrindt. It is
unclear how the two trains came directly toward each other. Authorities 7)
……………………………………….. (recover) two of the three data recorders so far. The third recorder is still
missing. After they find it, they 8) ……………………………………….. (have) the chance to see a better,
more complete picture of the event. It is difficult to say anything certain before all the data recorders 9)
……………………………………….. (analyze) (i.e. data recorders are devices that are similar to black boxes
in airplanes).

Currently, investigators 10) ……………………………………….. (focus) on human or technical errors

as possible causes, but not other factors such as an attack. During snowy or stormy days, trains might slow
down, but on the day of the accident, the weather was clear, so trains 11) ………………………………………..
(allow) to run at a maximum speed of 120 kph. Investigators think that the two trains 12)
……………………………………….. (move) at quite a high speed when they 13)
……………………………………….. (hit) each other.

“It‟s really, really rare. Many trains 14) ……………………………………….. (travel) on this line
since 2004, and this is the first accident to happen in this region,” described Christian Schreyer, chairman of the
train company

L. Susan‟s Dilemma
Susan, a master’s student in linguistics at Boğaziçi University, is talking to her friend
Benjamin. She’s going to begin her master’s thesis soon, but she is having doubts about her
future. Also, she has terrible trouble with gerunds and infinitives in English. Help her a little and
correct her mistakes in her conversation with Benjamin.
1. Susan: I‟ve been talking with my master‟s thesis advisor all this week at the university, and in
the end, we decided working on the use of gerunds and infinitives in modern spoken
American English.
Benjamin: That‟s great! So, have you started writing yet?
______________________________________________________________________
Corrections:
2. Susan: Not really. Actually, lately I‟ve been thinking of to give up to write it. I just don‟t enjoy
to study the subject anymore. But the real problem is that I just don‟t know why I‟m
doing it because I simply have no idea what doing with my life after to graduate from
university.
Benjamin: Well, what kinds of things have you considered?
______________________________________________________________________
Corrections:
3. Susan: Well, let‟s see- at one point, I was hoping to become a teacher, but then I realized that I
simply can‟t stand to speak in front of groups of people. But since I decided not being a
teacher, I haven‟t really thought about the matter very much.
Benjamin: What about writing? Are you interested in that at all?
______________________________________________________________________
Corrections:
4. Susan: I suppose that I wouldn‟t mind to write, but I don‟t think that I have the talent for it.
I‟ve never managed writing well at university without to get help from somebody. So I
don‟t really want to risk to have a job that I‟m not good at.
Benjamin: Of course not. But then, haven‟t you got any idea of what you might like doing?
______________________________________________________________________
Corrections:
5. Susan: Not much, unfortunately. You see, my only real goal in life is trying being happy, and I
just don‟t know what job or career really interests me.
Benjamin: Perhaps you could take a break from the thesis for a while and think about things…
______________________________________________________________________
Corrections:
6. Susan: Yeah, I‟ve considered to stop to work on my thesis for a while. But then again, perhaps
I won‟t come any closer to a decision about my life in that time.
Benjamin: Oh, you worry too much!
______________________________________________________________________
Corrections:
7. Susan: I know, I know! I‟m sorry, but I just can‟t help to worry! For one thing, it‟s a very
important subject in my life, don‟t you think? And for another thing, I‟ve never been
able avoiding worrying- it‟s just part of my character.
Benjamin: Okay, okay. But if you ask me, don‟t abandon it. Just continue. How much time do you
have for the thesis?
______________________________________________________________________
Corrections:
8. Susan: I‟ve got, at the most, two years finishing to write it.
Benjamin: Well then! Two years is a long time, and the thesis won‟t occupy every hour of every
day, you know. In the meantime, you can consider how to go on with your life after
graduation.

Lonely Larry and Loopy Loco

A short time ago, Larry decided (1) ____________________ (buy) a pet dog. He first
thought of (2) ____________________ (get) a pet a long time ago, but he always delayed (3)
____________________ (do) so, because he knew that a pet was a lot of responsibility. Also, he
didn‟t want (4) ____________________ (risk) (5) ____________________ (annoy) his neighbours
with a very loud dog. But finally, he just couldn‟t stand (6) ____________________ (live) alone
anymore.
While he was walking to the pet store, Larry thought about his idea of the perfect dog. He was hoping (7)
____________________ (find) a dog that was not too big and not too small. Also, he would like (8)
____________________ (get) a friendly dog. At the same time, he couldn‟t help (9) ____________________
(remember) that a quiet dog was necessary because his neighbours could complain.
Before he arrived at the pet store, Larry was expecting (10) ____________________ (find) a lot of different
dogs to choose from, but when he arrived, he had to give up (11) ____________________ (think) that. There was
only one dog in the entire store! And it was a chihuahua- a very small, very excitable, and very loud dog! How could
Larry ever manage (12) ____________________ (enjoy) (13) ____________________ (live) with this kind of dog?
Larry talked to the pet store owner for a while, and the man offered (14) ____________________ (take) the dog
back if there were any problems. And so, Larry agreed (15) ____________________ (take) the chihuahua.
Larry named the dog Loco because he learnt quickly that it was crazy. Where there was any
sound outside, Loco started (16) ____________________ (bark), and kept (17) ____________________
(bark) for a long, long time. Larry tried (18) ____________________ (control) Loco, but nothing
worked: Loco just couldn‟t stay calm. In a couple of days, the neighbours were warning Larry (19)
____________________ (get) rid of the dog. Finally, Larry took Loco back to the pet store: he realized
that he had to learn (20) ____________________ (live) on his own without a pet, after all.

Julianne Holmes has just begun to work as a full-time editor for the New York Times magazine. These days,
she is trying to adapt her daily routines to her new job. She (1) shouldn‟t/must/could start the day quite early
because there is lots of work that waits for her in her office every day. Her work duties include replying tens of
emails, contacting writers for the next issue of the magazine, and so on. There are also many rules to create a positive
environment in the office. For example, they (2) mustn‟t/should/don‟t have to leave their desks dirty and untidy
after working hours are over. She works with nearly thirty people. So far, she (3) must/didn‟t have to/has been able
to learn the names of most of her colleagues. She really has an amazing memory for learning new names.

Julianne can occasionally be in a nervous mood one or two days before the magazine is published. Some
people think that she (4) should/doesn‟t have to/mustn‟t change this negative behaviour because this decreases the
positive energy in the office and makes people upset, too.
She didn‟t have all these responsibilities before this job. In those days, she (5) couldn‟t/shouldn‟t/
didn‟t have to get up at 7 a.m., for instance. She usually woke up at around 9:30 and had a big, nutritious breakfast.
She (6) was able to/had to/must eat well because when she didn‟t, she felt weak and unhealthy after an hour or two.
She had lots of time for her family, too. She (7) must/could/should spend time with her kids and take them to the
cinema at least once a week and they enjoyed their time together. Now, it is impossible for her to go out with her kids
especially on Saturdays because she (8) is able to/has to/could attend the weekly meeting with the workers. They
never start the meeting before she arrives.

CURLING
Curling is a sport not known by everyone in the world. The reason is that you can only play it on ice, you
need special equipment and you can only play it in a curling field. However, it is one of the most interesting sports
you can see in your life.
Curling (1) was invented/ invented/ is invented/ invents in Medieval Scotland in the 16th century. There
was ice all year round in Scotland at that time and the people wanted to play a game on ice so it all began. At the
beginning, it was just the Scottish people playing the game but after the immigration of some of them to Canada, they
began playing it there and it (2) is loved/ loves/ loved/ was loved by Canadian people. Even though there are various
curling clubs in the world, Kilsyth Curling club is the first one established in 1716 and (3) is/ was/ will be/ is being
still in existence in Scotland. The name “curling” comes from the style you throw the rock, yet in Scotland and Wales
they call it “the roaring game” (4) so that/ whereas/ because/ before when you throw the rock on the ice, it makes a
lot of noise.
There are some rules of the game. First of all, there are two teams that consist of four players and each team
has eight stones to throw. In each team, there is a person called “The skip”, or the captain of the team, and he/she is
the one who makes decisions for the team. The aim of the game is
to get the highest score by (5) slide/ to slide/ to sliding/ sliding
the rock to the centre of the curling field. The closer you throw,
the higher score you get. To improve your chances of getting
higher scores, a broom (6) uses/ is used/ used/ was used by the
players, too. Moreover, there is also a rule about the rock you
throw. According to the World Curling Federation, the stone (7)
can‟t/ can/ has to/ doesn‟t have to weigh between 17 and 20 kg.
For example, a 16 or a 21 kg-stone is not acceptable.
Curling is also an Olympic sport. It (8) is/ has been/ was/
will be an official Winter Olympic sport since 1998. Besides,
there are World Curling Championship tournaments every year
and Russia (9) was holding/ held/ has held/ is holding the next
tournament in Sochi in April 2015. Overall, the popularity of the
game is on the rise. Today, even in countries where there isn‟t any
ice, the game (10) plays/ was played/ played/ is played with great joy.

S. Rewrite the sentences using infinitive or gerund forms and the words in the brackets.

Common questions

Prepositions of place (such as 'in', 'on', 'under', 'behind') describe the spatial relationships between objects and can alter the context and meaning of a sentence significantly, guiding the reader through spatial orientation (e.g., the cat is on the table versus under the table).

Present Simple is used for habitual actions and general truths (e.g., She works every day), while Present Progressive is used for ongoing actions or temporary situations (e.g., She is working right now). Choosing between these tenses affects the interpretation of time and the nature of actions described .

The hovercraft operates by lifting itself on a cushion of air and uses jet engines to push forward, allowing it to travel both on land and sea while carrying both people and vehicles. This dual functionality makes it versatile and unique compared to traditional boats or aircraft .

Past Simple is used for completed actions in the past, often with a clear time reference (e.g., I visited her yesterday). Past Progressive describes actions that were ongoing at a specific time in the past or providing context for another past action (e.g., I was visiting her when it started to rain).

'There is' is used for singular nouns (e.g., There is a book on the table), and 'there are' is used for plural nouns (e.g., There are two books on the table).

Someone might prefer traveling by hovercraft because it takes significantly less time (35 minutes) compared to a ferry (90 minutes) for crossing the Channel, offering a faster alternative .

Relative clauses, introduced by relative pronouns like 'who', 'which', 'that', provide additional information about a noun in a sentence, allowing compound sentences to convey more complex ideas and detailed descriptions (e.g., She is the woman who lives next door).

Possessive adjectives (like 'her', 'his', 'my', 'their') are used to describe something that belongs to someone or relates to someone, usually placed before a noun (e.g., her book). Possessive pronouns (like 'hers', 'his', 'mine', 'theirs') are used to replace the noun altogether when the noun is implied or previously mentioned (e.g., That book is hers).

Type 1 conditional sentences are formed using 'if' clauses with a Present Simple tense verb to describe a real or likely situation (e.g., If you study, you will pass) and the main clause with 'will' plus the base form of the verb to express the potential outcome or result .

The article 'a' is used before consonant sounds, 'an' is used before vowel sounds, and 'the' is used when referring to a specific noun known to the speaker and listener (e.g., a chair, an apple, the moon).
