>Exámenes selectividad inglés resueltos Andalucía The people who were at Lewes Harbor (Delaware, USA) on the evening of August 17 got lucky because there and then $10,000 dropped from the sky. A helicopter flew above the marina for around five minutes dropping $50, $20, $10 and $5 bills on the amazed and appreciative crowd. Anthony Guzzetti, a bartender at the marina, said he sprinted for the cash with about 50 other people. It was so strange that he thought: “Is this happening?” Guzzetti said he collected about $100. He also said he saw people swimming to grab notes that had landed in the water. Waiter Mark Tappan said, “I was eating chicken wings and watching money fall from the clouds”. Lewes police said they were aware of the planned event and had sent an officer to the area to make sure there was no fighting. However, there was no dispute or arguing, and some people were fortunate enough to leave with as much as $700. This bizarre act of kindness came courtesy of a Lewes resident, Leonard Maull, who had died the year before. His lawyer made sure the plan he had written into his will was carried out accordingly: exactly on the first anniversary of his death, the money should be dropped from a helicopter flying over the marina, which he apparently used to visit at least once a day. Whatever reason Maull had for his unique gift, it certainly brought excitement to the people in Lewes. Unfortunately, no one got any pictures of the event because they were too busy finding free money – so those who were there had to rely on their storytelling skills to capture the moment.

Estimates of the number of present and future speakers of English suggest English will be spoken across the globe for the foreseeable future. But what kind of English will it be? Evidence from other languages indicates that there are two opposing movements of linguistic change at work within a language. The first movement is convergence - in which speakers of separate languages come together either using a pidgin - a mixture of their languages - or using a different second language. The Scandinavian countries are examples of this: although the languages Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are similar, and from a common Old Norse root, an overwhelming number of speakers use English as their second language. The second movement is divergence - in which speakers of a common language differentiate their speech from each other and create first a distinct dialect then in due course a separate language. We see this from Latin which fractured into Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Both forces are constantly at work. Which force is more likely to take control of English as a world language? Only major changes in the political climate are likely to make an impression in the short term, though a series of minor external influences could cause a not so important change. The major change could well be a change in the power of English's main speakers, the USA. In a parallel with Latin following the decline of the Roman Empire, it is likely that any decline in the political, economic or technological power of the USA would lead to greater divergence and the development of separate mutually incomprehensible varieties. The general change of increased global communications and travel has already had a strong influence on the use of English, leading to significant convergence on English as a second language, this is the tendency. 1. Comprehension exercises 1.a. According to the text Convergence is a movement in which speakers of separate languages eventually only use a different second language. Old Norse is spoken in Scandinavia as a second language. Latin is a good example of divergence. 1.b. According to the text Both big changes in politics, and minor external influences will influence deeply in English as a world language. Convergence and divergence are only two of the many forces that influence in a language. Due to travels and the increase of worldwide communications English is going to be spoken as a second language. 1.c. English would be a world language even if the USA had an economic, political or technological decline. (Answer "True" or "False" AND write the sentence supporting this idea) FALSE: In a parallel with Latin following the decline of the Roman Empire, it is likely that any decline in the political, economic or technological power of the USA would lead to greater divergence and the development of separate mutually incomprehensible varieties. 1.d. A pidgin is usually the result of mixing different languages. (Answer "True" or "False" AND write the sentence supporting this idea) TRUE: speakers of separate languages come together either using a pidgin a mixture of their languages. 2. Do the following grammar exercises according to the instructions given 2.a. Complete the second sentence with "used to" so that it has a similar meaning to the first one When I was little I usually spent all my money on chocolates. When I was little I used to spend all my money on chocolates. 2.b. Transform the second sentence into reported speech Please can you describe the thieves? The policeman asked her to describe the thieves. The policeman asked her if she could describe the thieves. 2.c. Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first one I know how to sing and dance. I am good at singing and dancing. 2.d. Finish the following sentence When I was young I used to be scared of going to bed at night. // of spiders. (of+ing, or of+noun). 3. Identify ONLY FOUR words from their definitions Being such as that it may reasonable be anticipated: foreseeabl So strong as to be irresistible: overwhelming Recognizable, easy to perceive: distinct Worldwide: global Power to affect persons or events especially power based on prestige: influence Act of improving by expanding or enlarging: development +EXÁMENES RESUELTOS

Image from listal Nowadays we need female heroes. In films, which are the dominant element in our popular culture now, the male heroics of stars such as Schwarzenegger and Stallone have become a parody of the concept of heroism. We have to turn to female heroes, portrayed by actresses like Jodie Foster and Meg Ryan, if we want images of heroism that are credible and moving. We need heroes, in fact and fiction, to serve as models of courage. After the Second World War there were many such people because nearly everybody had some connection with death and danger. Yet, in the 1960s something started to happen to the image of the male hero. In the James Bond films, Agent 007 is arrogant, invincible, fearless and unbelievable. This tendency increased in the films of the early 1970s: ‘Dirty Harry’ (Clint Eastwood) is habitually violent and frequently ignores the law. Since then, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis have become even less human. In the world of these films women are usually victims. They are there to be attacked, intimidated, raped, murdered or sometimes rescued by the good guy. Yet, more and more recent films (like The Silence of the Lambs) focus on a female hero, which is generally more intelligent and real than the hero in the macho-man productions.

Scotland has not always been a part of the United Kingdom. The Scottish people had their own royal family and fought the English for centuries. In 1603, King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England and Scotland. He moved to London and this ended Scottish independence. In 1707, Scotland formally became part of the UK when the government of Scotland moved to Westminster, in London. Scotland managed to keep its own legal and education systems. Scotland still has different marriage laws to England. Young couples in England must have their parents’ consent to get married if they are under 18, but in Scotland they can get married at the age of 16 without their parents’ consent. In 1999, a referendum gave new powers to Scotland so the Parliament of Scotland was established under the supervision of the UK. Today, about 55 per cent of Scottish citizens want Scotland to be completely independent. In fact, in 2014 there will be a referendum to decide if they want to become independent from the UK.

A Tsunami is one or a series of waves that occur after an earthquake, sea-quake, volcanic activity, slumps, or asteroid impacts in or near the sea. A mega tsunami is simply a larger occurrence of the phenomena. The energy of a tsunami is constant, a function of its height and speed. Thus, as the wave approaches land, its height increases while its speed decreases. The waves travel at high speed, more or less unnoticed where crossing deep water, but can increase to a height of 30 meters and more as they approach the coastline. Without the loss of energy, this allows the wave to go ashore making a storm surge seem laughable. These waves are capable of crossing an ocean, toppling large buildings none of which could withstand the force of the wave, equivalent to the speed of a commercial airplane, nor the extreme flooding. Where would the next Mega Tsunami come from? A volcano named Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands of North Africa is where geologists suspect the next tsunami could begin. The reason for the concern is that in 1949 during a volcanic eruption part of the island slid into the ocean before ending its descent. Should another large eruption of the Cumbre Vieja occur, the western side of the island is likely to collapse into the Atlantic. Predicting the next eruption isn't a likely happening; geologists cannot say whether or not the next eruption will be the one to make the island shed its western shore. Not to be pessimistic, but we can't stop tsunamis. Phenomena of this magnitude literally HAVE no way to be diverted. These are naturally occurring events, and next to the impressive force of mother nature, man would not stand much chance. The only alternative is evacuating when the volcano (Canaries) starts to erupt, possibly giving a few days or weeks warning. 1. Comprehension exercises 1.a. According to the text A tsunami may be caused by some volcanic activity. Waves don't vary their height and speed. A tsunami occurs before an asteroid impacts in the sea. 1.b. According to the text In 1949 the western part of the island slid into the sea Some waves travel at the speed of a commercial airplane. In 1949 a volcano of La Palma was called Cumbre Vieja 1.c.

The first thing to know is that the costs of undergraduate study in the United States are different from school to school. Private colleges and universities generally cost more than public ones. Another thing to keep in mind is that not all students pay a school's "published price." Financial aid and scholarships may reduce the cost. Here are a few numbers for this school year from the College Board organization. The average published price for undergraduate study at a four-year public college is about seven thousand dollars. That is for students from "in state." Students from other states and international students often have to pay the highest prices. They pay an average of more than eighteen thousand dollars. And these prices are only for tuition and fees. Food, housing, books and supplies can add from ten to twelve thousand dollars a year. American students often have to take out a loan to help pay for their education, so they try to save money by starting their education at a two-year public college, also known as a community college, where the average tuition this year is about two thousand five hundred dollars. A few American colleges provide free education, and others pay all first-year costs for their foreign students, but they are expected to pay one thousand dollars a year after that.
