This is a ‘disadvantage’ and ‘wildlife’ is a synonym for ‘animals’. 3 A: ‘ The guest list for the party’ is another way of saying ‘who’s going to the party’ and ‘Could you send it to her?’ is another way of saying ‘let Paula know.’ 4 B: The notice says ‘Staff ... cannot use the canteen without ID cards.’ which means the same as ‘Staff must bring their ID cards if they want to eat ...’ in this option. 5 C: The message says, ‘... this week we’ll have to train at 4 instead [of 2]’ which means the same as ‘We must go training at a later time this week.’ Part 2 G: Omar says he is interested in architecture, special local buildings and that he wants to meet others. This text covers all those points because it says ‘Houses, ofces, museums, … somebody designed them ... Learn about the structures we live and work in ... share ... with other people in your area.’ 7 C: Cecile wants to improve her running technique together with other people. This text talks about, ‘... the outdoor runner ... Professional advice ... lists of local clubs you can contact or join.’ 8 D: Duncan wants to learn more about the countryside while he explores it on foot or by bike. This text ts because it says, ‘... escape to the elds and hills ... information about birds, animals, ... maps of great bike rides and walks.’ 9 A: Heidi likes football and the history of football but she hasn’t got time to go to matches. The text says, ‘... team sports are covered. Missed a game? ... full reports on all games ... articles ... the early beginnings of football.’ 10 H: Piotr likes modern art but doesn’t have time to see paintings. This text ts because it talks about, ‘... today’s art lover.’ It also says, ‘... high-quality reproductions of famous pictures ... Turn your home into an exhibition hall ...’ 6 © 2016 PEARSON PHOTOCOPIABLE Part 3 11 A: ‘he [Henry VIII] took control of the French town of Boulogne. In response, a large number of French ships set sail for England.’ 12 A: ‘Henry VIII, although getting old and ill, arrived to take charge of the battle himself.’ 13 B: ‘... it sank.

He doesn’t recommend that children go alone, or provide details about his childhood camping or tell you exactly what to take. 22 D: At the beginning of the second paragraph the writer says, ‘... my family moved from city to city’ and in the last sentence he says, ‘I still live and work in a big city ...’. This means the same as ‘has always lived in cities’ in the answer option. 23 A: In paragraph 3, the writer says, ‘... a night at a site once in a while lets you all get your clothes clean and stock up with food.’ Also ‘once in a while’ means the same as ‘occasionally’ in the correct answer option. 24 A: In the last paragraph, the writer says, ‘I like to think that they understood the value of fresh air and water, sunshine, running and swimming.’ which is another way of saying ‘the importance of simple things.’ 25 C: In paragraph 3, the writer says, ‘... don’t pack lots of things: keep it basic and you’ll have a better time.’ 2 ANSWER KEY: CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH PRELIMINARY Part 5 Part 2 26 D (structural) 27 D (lexical) 28 A (structural) 29 B (lexical) 8 9 30 D (lexical) 31 C (structural) 32 C (lexical) 33 A (lexical) 34 B (lexical) 35 A (lexical) Test 1: Writing Part 1 1 2 3 4 5 as / so important was hidden are (very / rather / quite) slowly unless it Part 2 See page 59 for example answer.

B: To ‘reserve’ something means the same as to ‘keep’ it. Both the notice and the correct option also mention that the cost of reserving or keeping a photograph is £30. A: Shakeh says, ‘...your new job. Brilliant! I’m sure you’re pleased!’ which is the same as ‘Offering Elsa her congratulations.’ . C: The notice says, ‘After next Thursday’ which means the same as ‘from Thursday’ in this option. It also says, ‘... the Study Centre will be closed during evenings and weekends.’ which is another way of saying that it will ‘change its opening hours’. C: In her letter, Keiko says, ‘... it doesn’t matter: this one’s actually nearer the beach – where I’m spending all my time!’ so she thinks that the new hotel ‘has an advantage’. Part 2 D: Rita and Patsy like ‘both modern and traditional ballet’ and they also like ‘learning about the dancers’ ideas and experiences. This programme about dance includes ‘different styles’ as well as ‘...the joys and heartaches of a junior dance school’s ...’. 7 F: Charlie and Petra like ‘... nature ... wildlife ... Antarctic ... discussing environmental issues.’ So this programme which includes ‘... South Pole ... native animals and birds’ is the right choice. 8 E: Roger and Martin go ‘... cycling every weekend ...’ and want to ‘... be as t as possible.’ In this programme they will learn about ‘... one of the fastest cyclists of all time.’ They can also ask questions about ‘... technique and so on’ and learn about the history of cycling. 9 G: Penny and Paul enjoy ‘... theatre and classical music concerts’ but they don’t have access to the theatre.

I  put it in my jacket pocket ... Woman: So it’s still there! C: Boy: Yes, she went back home the day before yesterday. Girl: The seventeenth? B: Man: So, who’s this, in the centre? Woman: That’s my parents, when they were middle-aged, of course, with us three girls lined up on the left. Part 4 20 A: ... don’t understand why  you haven’t got more hobbies – your friends seem to have lots of different things they like doing. 21 A: ... they’re just things you do inside, you know, collecting stamps, I mean so boring, or like computer games. I’m just not interested in that kind of thing. 22 B: I used to be, but now I’m completely out of  practice. I’d lose to anyone. 23 A: I went everywhere by bike, and that was good fun. 24 B: I don’t think that’s a good solution. You need to make your own arrangements, nd places where  you can go safely, that are outdoors. 25 A: Mother: Why don’t you use all that pocket money we give you, and get yourself a better bike? Son: That’s not a bad idea, Mum. Man: So who’s the old man next to your parents? Woman: My grandfather, and then that’s my uncle on the right. A: ... I just bring a nice magazine ...

You will hear each part twice. For each part of the test there will be time for you to look through the questions and time for you to check  your answers. Write your answers on the question paper. You will have six minutes at the end of the test to copy  your answers onto the answer sheet. There are seven questions in this part. For each question there are three pictures and a short recording. Choose the correct picture and put a tick in the box below it. Part 1. Question 2: Which picture does the boy want?  Boy: My uncle said I can choose any picture, and now I’m feeling really confused. They’re all nice. I love the one he gave me last year of a tiger, so I should take the one that will go with that best. I think the elephant is the one to go for, because it’s another wild animal, while the horse is more of a farm animal maybe. Now listen again. Before we start, here is an example. Which are Sara’s cousins? Boy: Hi Sara. Are you still waiting for your cousins to arrive? Girl: Yes, they’re very late. Oh, I think that’s them, over there. Boy: The two blonde guys? Girl: They’re both dark-haired actually. Look. Question 3: How does Valentina get from her house to school?  Boy: Does it take you long to walk to school? Girl: No, only a few minutes. I turn right when I come out of my house, and then go on till I have to go left, and then school’s just ahead along the road. Boy: That is close. Boy: Oh, in the T-shirts. Girl: One’s in a T-shirt, the other’s got a jacket on. Now listen again. The rst picture is correct so there is a tick in box A. Question 4: What does Sally need?  Look at the three pictures for Question 1 now. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear each recording twice. Question 1: What time does the lm start?  Girl: Carlos? Are you ready for the lm? Boy: Yeah, nearly. I’m going to leave here by eight, I promise. Girl: You’d better. I want you here at quarter past. Boy: OK, OK, but the lm isn’t till half past, is it? Girl: No, but we need to get tickets, popcorn, so quarter past. Boy: I told you I’m coming. Now listen again. Hi Sally. Woman: Are you at the shop yet? Man: Yes, almost. Do you need something? Woman: Yes, please. I want lots of orange juice for the party. Sure – a couple of cartons? Man: Man: Woman: Great. And could you pick up a paper for me too? Man: The usual? Woman: Thanks a lot. Now listen again. Question 5: What did the man forget to pack?  Man: I’m really annoyed with myself. I spent ages packing, so I shouldn’t have forgotten anything. But I realised when I took my towel out that I never put my toothbrush in, only the toothpaste – which is pretty useless now! And there isn’t any time to go and buy one now. Now listen again. © 2016 PEARSON PHOTOCOPIABLE 6 A U D I O S C R I P T: C A M B R I D G E E N G L I S H P R E L I M I N A R Y Question 6: What problem is there in the town?  Woman: If you possibly can, avoid the centre of town for the next few hours at least. There are bad trafc  jams resulting from the block in Main Street. A tree has fallen across the street, and there are lorries that can’t pass, so now all the cars are stuck behind them and can’t move at all. Now listen again. Question 7: What needs to be repaired?  Man: ... so can you send an engineer as soon as possible please? Woman: Can you describe the problem? Man: Well, I turned it on, so that I could wash the plates, but now water’s coming out of it like out of the shower. But it’s not washing anything, it’s  just making everything wet. Woman: An engineer should be with you shortly, sir. Now listen again. That is the end of Part 1. Test 1: Listening, Part 2 (page 24) You will hear a radio interview with Ronald Ferguson, who has just walked across Scotland from coast to coast. For each question, put a tick in the correct box. You now have 45 seconds to look at the questions for Part 2. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Interviewer: For most people, a nice walk lasts an hour or two, but last week Ronald Ferguson nished walking across Scotland, a distance of 128 miles – about 205 kilometres. Here he is. Ronald, you must be tired! How far did you go each day? I walked for nine days altogether. Some days Ronald: I did about eighteen miles – nearly thirty kilometres. Mostly it was around thirteen miles. And the last day only eleven. I was glad of that, as I was ready to stop! Interviewer: You must be very t to walk so far in such a short time. Did you need to prepare? Ronald: Interviewer: You started in Oban, on the west coast. Was there any particular reason for starting there? It means you’re walking towards the east. The wind generally comes from behind you, so it helps you – sometimes it was so strong it blew me along! And I was lucky – the weather improved as I went further east. The disadvantage was that I usually started early in the morning, I spent the rst few hours walking towards the sun. Interviewer: And where did you sleep? Ronald: I took a tent with me, and spent a night in a campsite, though I generally put it up close to the path, wherever I was walking. I stayed in a guest-house when I nished – it felt like real luxury! Ronald: Interviewer: What was the best thing about the walk? Well, I love the scenery, and I saw lots of Ronald: wild animals, which was great. I suppose the best thing was having some time to myself, with no-one else around. I had a chance to think about a project I’m planning. Interviewer: And what’s that? Before I did the walk, a club I belong to Ronald: asked me to give a talk about it afterwards. I intended to plan the talk while I was walking, but then I had the idea of writing a book about walking in Scotland, and I thought about that most of the time, instead. I’m going away on holiday tomorrow, so I’ll have to plan the talk then, and forget about the book until I come home! Interviewer: Ronald Ferguson, thank you. Thank you. Ronald: Now listen again. That is the end of Part 2. Oh yes. It involves a fair amount of hill walking, so you have to be t for that, though at least you aren’t climbing mountains. I took tness classes nearly every day, and did a long walk a week before I started the coast-to-coast walk, to make sure I was ready for it. © 2016 PEARSON PHOTOCOPIABLE 7 A U D I O S C R I P T: C A M B R I D G E E N G L I S H P R E L I M I N A R Y Test 1: Listening, Part 3 (page 25) You will hear a teacher talking to a group of schoolchildren about a school trip. For each question, ll in the missing information in the numbered space. You now have 20 seconds to look at Part 3. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Teacher: Let me tell you about a school trip that’s arranged for later this year. It’s to Cardiff, the capital of Wales, and it’s a very exciting city. This trip will be of particular interest to those of you studying politics, though if there are any spare places, other people can go too. We’ll spend two full days in Cardiff. On the rst day, we’ll have a guided tour of the building where the Welsh Assembly meets – that’s the parliament of Wales. And one of the government ministers has agreed to talk to us about how the assembly is organised, how members are elected, and so on. She’ll also discuss plans to improve transport, which is one of her own areas of responsibility. The next morning there’ll be a tour of Cardiff Castle, which includes part of a Roman wall that’s 2000 years old. Then you’ll join in an activity that’ll teach you about medicine in the period when much of the castle was built, the Middle Ages. And believe me, it’s better to be ill now than it was 700 years ago! In the afternoon we’ll meet a member of Cardiff City Council. He’ll talk to us about various projects for protecting wildlife, and show us some of the improvements over the last few years. He spends a lot of his time talking to the public about what they can do to help. Now for some practical details. We’ll leave here on the twenty-second of June and return on the twenty-fth. We’ll travel by coach to Swindon, and take the train from there to Cardiff – the whole journey will take around two hours. And we’ll spend three nights in a hostel. The sports fans among you will be happy about that, as it’s close to Cardiff’s famous stadium. Next I’ll … Now listen again. That is the end of Part 3. © 2016 PEARSON PHOTOCOPIABLE Test 1: Listening, Part 4 (page 26) Look at the six sentences for this part. You will hear a girl, Jenni, and a boy, Max, planning dinner in a restaurant for their class. Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, put a tick in the box under A for Yes. If it is not correct, put a tick in the box under B for No. You now have 20 seconds to look at Part 4. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Right, Jenni, let’s plan our class dinner for the end of the year – we really must book the restaurant soon. Jenni: Yeah. Well, Max, I’ve been talking to some of the other kids in the class, and quite a few of them want to go to a pizza restaurant. Max: Mm. But didn’t we have pizza the last time we all went out for a meal together? And I eat it at least twice a week. I think it’d be good to have something different. That’ll make the meal more of a special occasion. Jenni: I see what you mean. Well there’s that Chinese restaurant, the Bamboo House. My parents are going there tomorrow. Max: It’s closing next week for a month – they’re going to build a new kitchen or something. So it won’t be open for our dinner. What about the Mexican restaurant? Max: Jenni: The Mexicali? Max: Mm. Jenni: I’ve heard good things about it, but I never went there. What about you? Max: Nope. It was just an idea. You know I remember going to some place with a singer and guitarist, and it was great. I think we need music. Jenni: But Max, there’ll be at least twenty of us – we’ll be so noisy we won’t hear the music, and that isn’t nice for the musicians. Max: You’re right. Hey, we haven’t thought about the cost. Some people will want to go to a cheap place, and others can afford somewhere more expensive. Jenni: Yeah, that could be a problem … I know! Why don’t we x the amount and ask a restaurant to provide a meal for that price? Then everyone will know exactly how much it’s going to cost them. Max: That’s a good idea. And we could make a list of the places we think are best, and get the rest of the class to choose one. 8 A U D I O S C R I P T: C A M B R I D G E E N G L I S H P R E L I M I N A R Y Jenni: Max, don’t forget we offered to nd out about restaurants and make the decisions ourselves – we’ve got to do the whole job! Max: OK, you’re right, Jenni. Well, I think … Now listen again. That is the end of Part 4. That is the end of the test. Test 2: Listening, Part 1 (page 42) There are four parts to the test. You will hear each part twice. For each part of the test there will be time for you to look through the questions and time for you to check  your answers. Write your answers on the question paper. You will have six minutes at the end of the test to copy  your answers onto the answer sheet. Part 1. There are seven questions in this part. For each question there are three pictures and a short recording. Choose the correct picture and put a tick in the box below it. Before we start, here is an example. Boy: Hi Sara. Are you still waiting for your cousins to arrive? Girl: Yes, they’re very late. Oh, I think that’s them, over there. Boy: The two blonde guys? Girl: They’re both dark-haired actually. Look. Boy: Oh, in the T-shirts. Girl: One’s in a T-shirt, the other’s got a jacket on. The rst picture is correct so there is a tick in box A. Look at the three pictures for Question 1 now. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear each recording twice. Question 2: What sport has recently become available at the sports centre?  Woman: ... and more local developments: down at the Goodlife Sports Centre, already popular for its climbing wall – said to be the tallest in the region – basketball was introduced recently. It’s hoped that a competitive team can be formed, so get down there if you fancy your ability. Future plans include a new ring range, as shooting is not well served currently ... Now listen again. Question 3: Where is the man’s wallet?  Woman: Well, your wallet can’t have disappeared. You must know where and when you last had it. Man: Er ... OK, I was watching TV this afternoon, yes ... then before I went out, I put it in my jacket pocket. But then in fact I went out just in my shirt, so when I got to the bookshop and wanted to pay for the books, of course I didn’t have it. Woman: So it’s still there! Man: Yes. Now listen again. Question 4: When did David’s aunt leave?  Girl: Has your aunt left now, David? Boy: Yes, she went back home the day before yesterday. Girl: The seventeenth? And she’d come on the thirteenth, hadn’t she? Boy: She was meant to, but something happened, so it wasn’t till the fteenth. Girl: Only two days? Boy: It felt longer! Girl: Oh dear. Now listen again. Question 1: Which is the family’s holiday house?  Boy: Are you looking forward to the holidays with your family? What’s your holiday house like? Girl: It’s great. It’s in the countryside, by a river. You can stand on the little bridge and watch the water owing. My brother’s always climbing the big tree that’s by the side of the house. It’s a very peaceful place. You should come. Now listen again. Question 5: Which photo are they talking about?  Woman: I love looking at photos, don’t you? Yes, it’s always interesting. So, who’s this, in Man: the centre? Woman: That’s my parents, when they were middleaged, of course, with us three girls lined up on the left. So who’s the old man next to your parents? Man: Woman: My grandfather, and then that’s my uncle on the right. Yes, I can recognise him. Man: Now listen again. © 2016 PEARSON PHOTOCOPIABLE 9 A U D I O S C R I P T: C A M B R I D G E E N G L I S H P R E L I M I N A R Y Question 6: What will the woman take on the train  journey?  Woman: It’s about three hours on the train. People say that’s a good time to get some useful work done, you know, type up some notes or look through the presentation on a laptop. I prefer to relax, so I just bring a nice magazine and look at it when I’m not staring out of the window. My daughter takes an MP3 player for her music, but I like my own thoughts. Now listen again. Question 7: How much will the boy pay for a ticket for the football match?  Boy: I’ll have to use all my pocket money to get a ticket for the football match. But it’s worth it! There’s a group of us going, and I know it’ll be fun. Last season you only had to pay ten pounds, but this year it’s gone up. Actually, because my dad’s friends with one of the directors I can get a discount, so that makes it twelve pounds, which is quite bad, but not as bad as the full price, which is now fourteen pounds. Then there’s the cost of the programme, and the bus, and everything. Now listen again. That is the end of Part 1. Test 2: Listening, Part 2 (page 44) You will hear a woman called Tina making a radio report about her recent trip to Africa. For each question, put a tick in the correct box. You now have 45 seconds to look at the questions for Part 2. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. It’s a big country, and there are different ways to get around it. I suppose the most typical is the safari car, specially equipped to cross rough land and protect you from certain animals. I took a ight in a micro plane on my rst day, to try and get a sense of the land overall, but I didn’t feel in contact with it. That’s why I was pleased to go on several walks – with guides – after that. The rst walk I went on was brilliant. It’s quite at, so it wasn’t hard. We followed the footprints of big animals and listened to the strange noise of the hippopotamus, until we came to the river. Suddenly and unexpectedly, there was a lizard – but I thought it was a crocodile at rst, it was so big. And we saw lots of other great things. At one point, we disturbed a herd of zebra, and they ran off, kicking up clouds of dust and drumming on the ground. It was lovely when we came across a baby elephant drinking from a watering hole. I think I could have touched him! There were also the most amazing birds, and I was glad I’d brought my binoculars. As I say, it’s quite at, so you can walk a long way without getting too tired. I think retired people really should get out there and make the most of it. They often can manage to take nice long holidays, which young people may not have the time, or money, for. Although children would love the animals, you might want to wait till they’re a bit older. But if you can go, go. I’ve got some special memories of what I saw, like the sun coming up at dawn, and, like everybody I guess, I’ll always remember that feeling of so much space, in all directions. Amazing. OK, details are on our website, and there are links to … Now listen again. That is the end of Part 2. Woman: It’s important to choose when to go to Africa. It’s a huge continent, with different weather systems within it. In Zambia, where I’ve just returned from, you need to think about what time of year to go. I didn’t want to go when it’s too hot, because I knew I’d just stay in the shade and do very little. But their winter – May till September, when I went – is quite pleasant, with warm days, although you do have to remember it gets jolly cold at night. You should probably avoid the rainy season, because it does limit what you can do. © 2016 PEARSON PHOTOCOPIABLE 10 A U D I O S C R I P T: C A M B R I D G E E N G L I S H P R E L I M I N A R Y Test 2: Listening, Part 3 (page 45) Test 2: Listening, Part 4 (page 46) You will hear a man giving a talk about a sports event to raise money for charity. For each question, ll in t he missing information in the numbered space. Look at the six sentences for this part. You now have 20 seconds to look at Part 3. Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, put a tick in the box under A for Yes. If it is not correct, put a tick in the box under B for No. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Man: OK, so the Mini Olympic Games. What are they? Why are we doing them? Well, it’s the Olympic Games for our small children, to be held here at Greenford Primary School. We’ve been planning them for some time, and now we’re pretty much ready to go. So let’s hope the children are too! Parents, you need to make sure your kids don’t miss the opportunity to shine! The Games are on July the sixteenth, which is now only fourteen days away, and the latest you can enter anyone is t he thirteenth. You just need to pay the ten pound fee, and you’ll be making a valuable contribution to our three aims in the event. Firstly, we want to raise as much money as we can for medical research at the Children’s Health Centre. Secondly, we also hope to raise money to help us build a new library, next to the swimming pool: we need to feed minds as well as bodies! Last, but certainly not least, we want to encourage children to take part in sport, to learn about competition, teamwork, commitment, and so on. OK, some practicalities. On the day itself, can you please get here with the children any time after nine thirty, when the gates open, and no later than ten o’clock, as events begin at ten fteen, and they go straight through until half past three. Now, as the day’s quite long for small people, please bring enough food, that’ll keep them going – we’re supplying drinks throughout the day, but that’s all. There’s a wide range of events, from egg and spoon races to pony-riding. Interest is likely to be greatest in the football match, with volleyball coming a close second in numbers watching. If I could make a nal request – we have had plenty of entries for the long jump, but not enough for the high jump, and we don’t want to have to cancel that, so please see if you can persuade your kids to go for that. OK, well, thank you and now I’ll hand you … Now listen again. That is the end of Part 3. You will hear a mother, Marina, and her son, Sam, talking about hobbies. You now have 20 seconds to look at Part 4. Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice. Mum, I haven’t got anything to do. I’m bored. Well, Sam, it’s raining, so you can’t go outside. No. What I don’t understand is why you haven’t got more hobbies – your friends seem to have lots of different things they like doing, don’t they? That’s not … well, anyway, they’re just things Son: you do inside, you know, collecting stamps, I mean so boring, or like computer games. I’m  just not interested in that kind of thing. Mother: Yes, well, I do understand that, and actually I’m quite pleased about the computer games thing. There’s table tennis: now, you can play that indoors, and you’re great at that, aren’t you? Son: Oh Mum, I used to be, but now I’m completely out of practice. I’d lose to anyone. Mother: So maybe you should go and get some practice. Son: Maybe. What did you do when you were younger, then? Mother: It was different, because we lived in the countryside, so we pretty much lived out of doors. I went everywhere by bike, and that was good fun. But it’s not the same here, in a big city, I know. Yeah, cycling on busy roads. I suppose I could Son:  join the sports club – if you paid the subscription for me, that is … Mother: I don’t think that’s a good solution. You need to make your own arrangements, nd places where you can go safely, that are outdoors, Sam. Seriously, what about biking as a hobby? Son: Some of my friends, it’s true, they do take their bikes to the park. You can ride them there. There’s a special track that I’ve never tried. Mother: There you are then. My bike’s rubbish, though. Son: Mother: Why don’t you use all that pocket money we give you, and get yourself a better bike? That’s not a bad idea, Mum. If I go and … Son: Son: Mother: Son: Mother: Now listen again. That is the end of Part 4.
