    Abandon all hope, ye who enter here: Dante's

    medieval classic the Divine Comedy has been

    condemned as racist, antisemitic and Islamophobic

    by a group calling for it to be removed from

    classrooms.

    The epic poem, written in the 14th century, is split

    into three parts, tracing the poet's journey through

    Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. It is seen as one of

    the cornerstones of world literature. But the

    Italian human rights organisation Gherush92, which

    advises UN bodies on human rights issues, wants it

    to be removed from school curriculums, or at least

    used with more caution, because it is "offensive and

    discriminatory" and young people lack the "filters" to

    understand it in context.

    Gherush92 singled out some particular cantos from

    Dante's masterwork for criticism: Inferno's 34th,

    which tells of Judas, endlessly chewed in the teeth of

    Lucifer, and 28th, in which Mohammed is depicted

    torn "from the chin down to the part that gives out the

    foulest sound", as well as Purgatorio's 26th, which

    shows homosexuals under a rain of fire in purgatory.

    The work, it says, slanders the Jewish people,

    depicts Islam as a fallacy and is homophobic.

    35. It is pointed out in the passage that The Divine

    Comedy _____

    A) dwells on world religions assets

    B) became a classic after Dantes death

    C) has been studied in schools since medieval

    times

    D) is recommended by human rights activists

    E) is considered a mainstay of world literature

    36. According to the passage, the objection of

    Gherush92 to Divine Comedy is that _____.

    A) the approach to religions is too objective

    B) the language is too archaic

    C) it is both disrespectful and biased

    D) todays school children have a different

    vision

    E) social comedies are losing popularity

    37. One can infer from the passage that Gherush 92

    wants the UN to _____.

    A) have ultimate control over international

    curriculums

    B) take the subject as a human rights issue

    C) approach schools with caution

    D) assume responsibility for only international

    issues

    E) cautiously advise books like Divine Comedy

    38. As one understands from the passage,

    Gherush92 referred to some cantos in the Divine

    Comedy in order to _____.

    A) justify its objections

    B) prove childrens lack of capacity

    C) emphasize the importance of schooling

    D) highlight secular education

    E) remind the UN of its responsibilities

    Scientists are concerned that global warming could

    cause much of the world's permafrost to thaw,

    releasing vast quantities of greenhouse gases that

    would accelerate climate change an example of

    a positive feedback loop.

    Measurements have shown that southerly permafrost

    regions have already started to thaw and some

    additional thawing is unavoidable. Even if all man-

    made emissions ceased today, an additional global

    warming of about 0.6C would be expected due to the

    inertia of the climate system. Furthermore, due

    to polar amplification, man-made warming affects

    permafrost regions disproportionately: they warm

    around 50% more than the globe as a whole.

    However, according to recent modelling work, if

    global emissions are cut rapidly and deeply enough

    to meet the world's stated target of limiting the

    average global temperature rise to 2C above pre-

    industrial levels, the majority of the world's

    permafrost will remain frozen.

    39. It is stated in the passage that parts of the worlds

    deep frozen soils _____.

    A) are found in the southern hemisphere

    B) have been solidifying even more

    C) began to defrost some time ago

    D) are not exposed to man-made emissions

    E) are fast releasing greenhouse gasses

    40. One learns from the passage that the impact of

    man-made warming on permafrost regions is

    _____.

    A) rather uneven

    B) surprisingly little

    C) extreme

    D) moderate

    E) irreversible

    41. It is possible to understand from the passage that

    authorities have already _____.

    A) set a target as regards the average global

    temperature rise

    B) succeeded in restricting global temperature

    rises

    C) taken measures to accelerate thawing in

    permafrost regions

    D) underestimated the magnitude of global

    warming

    E) managed to pull rises back to pre-industrial

    levels

    42. One can conclude from the passage that the

    more greenhouse gasses, _____.

    A) the colder the weather

    B) the faster the climate change

    C) the wetter it is

    D) the more abundant water resources

    E) the more optimistic people are

    The resignation of Michael Pinto-Duschinsky from a

    government commission last week is a vivid

    reminder of the risky, sometimes fraught, relationship

    between social scientists and politicians.

    Pinto-Duschinsky said he was forced to resign from

    the commission set up to examine the establishment

    of a British bill of rights, because it had "paralyzed

    parliament and the prime minister". As he told the

    BBC's Sunday Politics show: "After one year it is now

    clear that it has been intended all along to issue a

    report in favour of the status quo. We have actually

    considered the question of parliamentary sovereignty

    only once in the whole year that we have been in

    existence."

    Furores such as this one raise the issue of

    how academics can conduct research or contribute

    expertise that feeds the development of policy,

    without compromising their independence. For social

    scientists, investigating and producing evidence on

    how society works is the basis of all we do. It drives

    our research and is the reason we get out of bed in

    the morning. We want our work to be relevant, but

    the practical application of research often takes place

    in political settings, where particular policies and

    ideas already have momentum. Academics often

    worry they are only being brought in to sanction a

    policy that has already been decided.

    43. The writer of the passage openly states that it is

    social scientists job to _____.

    A) observe the operations of the society

    scientifically

    B) scrutinize the link between the society and

    the national policy

    C) run counter to the sovereignty of the

    parliament

    D) reconcile the society and politicians

    E) question every step the government takes

    44. According to the passage, Michael Pinto-

    Duschinskys move illustrates that the politician-

    social scientist relationship could be _____.

    A) surprisingly fruitful

    B) insecure and at times perilous

    C) both equitable and open

    D) either biased or impartial

    E) neither progressive nor dogmatic

    45. One learns from the passage that Michael Pinto-

    Duschinsky quit the commission when _____.

    A) controversy arouse within the commission

    B) he was asked to change his ultimate report

    C) a new commission was set up for the same

    purpose

    D) it was accused of undermining parliament

    and the PM

    E) he felt the bill was sure to fall short of

    expectations

    46. What the writer of the passage emphasizes is

    that _____.

    A) the report published is not in favour of the

    status quo

    B) social scientists will get used to making

    deals with politicians

    C) some policies and ideas are more

    applauded than others

    D) academics contribute to policy making more

    than politicians themselves

    E) research results of social scientists are

    being dictated by the government

    The head of the International Monetary Fund has

    warned that the outlook for the global

    economy remains uncertain following meetings in

    China with the country's communist party leadership.

    Christine Lagarde congratulated Beijing for its

    stewardship of the world's second largest economy

    and said "China remains a bright spot" in the global

    growth league.

    But she warned the situation could still deteriorate if

    the world's major powers failed to react with policies

    to stimulate growth and spread prosperity among all

    their citizens.

    "While the global economic outlook is certainly less

    gloomy than when I was here last November, there

    are still major economic and financial vulnerabilities

    we must confront. There is not a great deal of room

    for manoeuvre and no room for policy mistakes," she

    said.

    Her warning comes amid a slowdown in global

    growth while oil prices continue to climb. Some

    economists said the rising price of oil was an

    increasing threat to growth after Brent crude hit $126

    a barrel last week.

    Lagarde said Chinese officials needed to move more

    quickly "away from investment and exports, and

    towards domestic consumption".

    She said: "I am encouraged that the Chinese

    authorities are focusing, not just on the level of

    growth, but on growth that is more widely shared

    across the entire population, as underscored by the

    policy agenda in the recent 12th five-year plan.

    47. According to the passage, what could hinder

    global growth _____.

    A) could be domestic consumption

    B) would be increasing world population

    C) was governments lack of capacity

    D) could be being too bright a spot

    E) was soaring oil prices

    48. In the passage Lagarde clearly points out that

    unless _____.

    A) China promotes democracy, she cannot

    maintain her brightness

    B) financial manoeuvres continue to be made,

    growth cannot be maintained

    C) everybody gets their share of wealth, the

    situation remains volatile

    D) Beijing pulls costs down even further, growth

    rates cannot be sustained

    E) people are optimistic about vulnerabilities,

    the gloomy outlook will remain

    49. Lagarde recommends that Beijing should _____.

    A) give up all her foreign investments

    B) focus on domestic consumption

    C) stop importing manufactured goods

    D) quit her current introvert financial policy

    E) be a bigger partner in global markets

    50. Lagarde seems pleased with _____.

    A) the fact that climbing oil prices do not effect

    China

    B) Chinas adaptability to changing situations

    C) how China responds to foreign investment

    demands

    D) what Chinas 12th 5-year plan targets

    E) Chinese way of distribution of wealth

    The big metal roof is as deeply ingrained in British

    architectural tradition as thatched cottages and stone

    churches. The idea was invented for greenhouses,

    then applied to the great Victorian railway stations

    and to the Crystal Palace, that wondrous

    achievement of scale and ingenuity, whose mythic

    power is made all the greater by the fact that it no

    longer exists. Big metal roofs speak of confidence

    and boldness and of the time of this country's

    greatest industrial might.

    The concept has been exported, leading, for

    example, to the geodesic domes of American

    visionary Buckminster Fuller, potentially vast

    structures with which he hoped to rehouse humanity.

    More recent versions include the great over-sailing
