Complete the passage by changing the form of the word in capitals.
The decision as to which university to apply to is often taken on the (BASIC) of a university's position on the world rankings table. Yet, other considerations, such as whether the course is (THEORY) or offers hands-on experience and the amount of time that students will need to work independently should be taken into account. The fact is that some undergraduates who express their (SATISFY) with their university experience base their complaints on poor organization, the lack of support received and on having fewer contact hours than expected.
As higher education (PROVIDE) come under increasing pressure to meet established targets and to maintain or improve their status, course guidelines should clarify what participants can expect from the course and what the course expects from them. This should ensure a reduction in student drop-out rates. Inevitably, though, no matter how much the content and structure are spelled out, some students will turn up with (REAL) expectations that can never be met.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
This passage is about a revision course
Students who want to retake exams or those who hope to bump up their grades to get into a good university often opt to spend the spring holiday before the exam period doing revision courses. Various colleges and educational institutions run these courses and that they can be more effective than allowing students to revise . Advocates for such 'crammers', as they are popularly known, that even a few days' focused revision can help students achieve the grades they need. However, many educators question such courses are really necessary, and point out that it is the school's responsibility to prepare students for exams. Head teachers advise parents spending a lot of money on revision courses without first making sure they are tailor-made to their children's needs.
Students who benefit from the change of environment and the relative lack of distractions that they aren't disciplined enough to study as effectively on their own. Parents should be that sooner or later their offspring will have to fend for themselves and those who need such motivation to study might be lost when it comes to a university course! Also, they should not expect miracles: those students who have to study all year are beyond help and parents should be from pressuring such students into academic careers.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Visitors to Prince Edward Island, Canada, delight in the "unspoiled" scenery, the well-kept farms and the peaceful hamlets of the island's central core and the rougher terrain of the east and west. In reality, the Island's ecosystems are almost entirely artificial.
Islanders have been tampering with the natural environment since the eighteenth century and long ago broke down the Island's natural forest cover to exploit its timber and clear land for agriculture. By 1900, 80 percent of the forest had been cut down and much of what remained had been destroyed by disease. Since then, however, some farmland has been abandoned and has returned to forest through the invasion of opportunist species, notably spruce. Few examples of the original climax forest, which consisted mostly of broadleaved trees such as maple, birch, and oak, survive today.
Apart from a few stands of native forest, the only authentic habitats on Prince Edward Island are its sand dunes and salt marshes. The dunes are formed from sand washed ashore by waves and then dried and blown by the wind to the land beyond the beach. The sand is prevented from spreading farther by marram grass, a tall, long-rooted species that grows with the dunes and keeps them remarkably stable. Marram grass acts as a windbreak and allows other plants such as beach pea and bayberry to take hold. On dunes where marram grass is broken down, for instance, where it is trampled, the dunes may spread inland and inundate agricultural lands or silt up fishing harbors. The white dunes of the north coast are the most impressive. There are also white dunes on the east and west coasts. Only in the south are there red dunes, created when the soft sandstone cliffs crumble into the sea and subsequently wash ashore as red sand. The dunes were once used as cattle pasture but were abandoned as the early settlers moved inland.
Salt marshes are the second remaining authentic habitat. These bogs are the result of the flooding of low coastal areas during unusually high tides. In the intervals between tides, a marsh area remains and plants take root, notably cordgrass, the "marsh hay" used by the early settlers as winter forage for their livestock. Like the dunes, though, the marshes were soon dismissed as wasteland and escaped development.
