Zadanie 4.

Przeczytaj tekst, który został podzielony na trzy części (A–C) oraz pytania go dotyczące (4.1.–4.4.). Do każdego
pytania dopasuj właściwą część tekstu. Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli. Uwaga: jedna część tekstu pasuje do dwóch
pytań.

In which paragraph does the author

i7ll
4.1. admit the fact that some modern culinary devices are not very useful?
4.2. mention an attempt to equip 3D printers with an additional function?
4.3. describe a few of the culinary advantages of 3D printers?
4.4. give the reason for a co-operative effort?
7m2 ARE 3D PRINTERS BRINGING ABOUT A COOKING REVOLUTION?
A. A few decades ago, a microwave oven or a programmable food processor were uncommon sights in the kitchen.
But now, they form part of a typical kitchen landscape in many households. Is it going to be the same case with 3D

a
printers? Well, according to some researchers at Columbia University, it is only a matter of time before 3D printers
find their way onto many countertops in kitchens all over the world. They have set out to develop such a printer
a6c
that will be capable of coming up with food items from a variety of ingredients and cooking them immediately

il7l
afterwards. The team are joining forces with New York’s International Culinary Centre to help them define the type
of ingredients that will be most suitable for working with the 3D printer.
B. As a matter of fact, some top restaurants have already been experimenting with 3D printers as their chefs got
7m2
excited about the possibilities offered by this relatively new technology, especially in the aesthetic aspect of food
15

decoration. Intricate designs that would otherwise be impossible to achieve by hand have allowed them to enhance
M

the appearance of their dishes and to take them to a higher aesthetic level. For leading 3D printer manufacturers,
this is also a chance to change the way that ordinary customers see modern culinary devices, which, indeed, have
recently evolved towards containing more gimmicky than practical features. They hope that once people get used to
seeing 3D printers being used in good restaurants, they will no longer be suspicious of introducing this technology
into their daily lives.
a6c
C. The manufacturers might well be justified in their hopes as some food experts point towards there being a number
of beneficial aspects of using 3D printers in the kitchen. In addition to the convenience that the future devices may
offer to a fast-living society, there is a virtually infinite scope for creativity that comes with this new technology. Also,
the machines should make it possible to have strict control over the nutritional content of any dish they prepare,
M5

which will certainly prove invaluable to those who need to monitor their calorie intake. Not to mention the fact
that the use of 3D printers will result in ‘zero waste’ as the ingredients involved will be used in precisely measured
quantities.

LITERARY PSEUDONYMS
It is a well-established fact that writers often choose to write under a pen name. Interestingly enough, this is quite
common both among fresh hopeful writers and more renowned ones. The decision is easy to justify with the first

i7ll
category of authors. If their first attempt at earning money for a publisher failed, they are unlikely to get a second
chance. There are plenty others in the writing market who will be given a chance instead. With a pseudonym, an
unsuccessful writer might get a second life. Curiously, though, there have been a great number of world-famous writers
who have also decided to publish under different names. But why would they do so?
One common reason for this is that they want to cross literary genres. This was the case with Agatha Christie,
7m2
the well-known author of detective stories. She used the pen name of Mary Westmacott to publish six romantic novels.
The creator of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, did likewise with The Cuckoo’s Calling, a detective story, which
was published under the name of Robert Galbraith, ostensibly a former member of the Royal Military Police. Once the

a
true identity of the author had been revealed by the Sunday Times, J.K. Rowling explained her reasons for choosing
a pen name. It was the chance to be free from the pressure and high expectations that inevitably come with such
a6c
a famous name. She admitted that she really enjoyed receiving the readers’ feedback after her debut detective story

il7l
was published.
Another famous writer who has used an alias is Stephen King. The ‘king of horror’ has published several novels
as Richard Bachman, which, in his case, was triggered by the fact that he was working on a few books at once.
The publishers simply felt the public would find it inappropriate for a writer to come up with more than one novel
7m2
15

a year. Hence, the pseudonym allowed him to resolve the problem and produce a few books a year. The secret was,
M

nonetheless, discovered by a bookshop staff member and later confirmed by Stephen King himself.

Cześć, Ala!
Co u Ciebie? Właśnie przeczytałam ciekawy artykuł o pisarzach, którzy używają pseudnonimów. Wydawało się
oczywiste, że początkujący pisarze nie chcą publikować pod prawdziwym nazwiskiem, ponieważ w 5.1. ___________
a6c
mogą nie dostać drugiej szansy. Zaskakujące jednak wydało mi się to, że znani pisarze też uciekają się do tego zabiegu.
Na przykład Agatha Christie 5.2._________ pod nazwiskiem Mary Westmacott. J.K. Rowling natomiast, publikując
The Cuckoo’s Calling pod pseudonimem, chciała się 5.3. _________ oczekiwań, jakie mają czytelnicy wobec tak sławnej
M5

autorki. W przypadku Stephena Kinga to 5.4. ______________, że opinia publiczna uznałaby za niewłaściwe, gdyby
pisarz publikował więcej niż jedną powieść rocznie. A Ty znasz może jakichś pisarzy, którzy używają pseudnonimów?

Zadanie 6.

Przeczytaj dwa teksty na temat narkolepsji. Z podanych odpowiedzi wybierz właściwą, zgodną z treścią tekstu.
Zakreśl literę A, B, C albo D.
Tekst 1.

My life changed completely when I was 20 and working on a production line in a small local factory. One morning,

i7ll
I was hit by such a wave of dizziness that I just slumped down to the ground. Fortunately, the protective railing
prevented me from getting seriously hurt, although I did get a small bump on my head. Anyway, one of my colleagues
saw me on the floor and called for help. Still, I came round before the ambulance arrived and just like everyone else,
I was convinced I’d just passed out. It wasn’t until a month later, after a series of medical tests and interviews, that
I was eventually diagnosed with narcolepsy. The doctor also explained to me that the incident in the factory had been
7m2
unlike the typical condition called excessive daytime sleepiness, when periods of sleep are limited to merely seconds,
but where you can’t recall these moments. It all made sense as I finally understood all the situations when I’d placed
things in strange locations or involuntarily crossed the lane on the road while driving.

a
With the diagnosis came a lot of changes to my life. While I was no longer able to work on the production
line, I was offered a job in the warehouse where my condition would not get in the way that much, so at least
a6c
I was allowed some time to think over my long-term employment options. I knew that things like driving and
cycling were now out of the question, so regretfully, I stopped doing them immediately. The treatment I had to

il7l
undergo was another story, though. Along with a course of stimulants to keep me awake, I was prescribed
a long list of recommendations concerning my sleep schedule and a healthy diet, plus I was advised to join
a suitable support group. Of course, taking care of all these things couldn’t just happen overnight! I needed several
7m2
weeks before things really sank in and then I started following the doctor’s suggestions.
15

Now, four years on, I have learnt to live with most of the restraints of my condition. I run a small workshop
M

where I make ethnic jewellery and sell it online, which allows me to make a modest living. My parents
helped me to fit it out, and despite my initial reservations about borrowing money from them, it has been
a good move. Still, it’s a solitary business, something which took me quite a while to get used to. Over the course of
time, I’ve also sort of naturally reduced my social life to a tiny circle of friends, as I try to avoid getting embarrassed
among larger groups of people, and I still can’t stand sensing that some people are uncomfortable being around me
a6c
as if my condition was contagious. It’s one of those rare things that can still occasionally make me depressed and feel
like a nobody.

6.1. Which of the following is true about the incident in the factory?
M5

A. It resulted in a major injury.

B. It was immediately recognised as a certain condition.
C. It wasn’t preceded by any earlier signs.
D. It didn’t resemble a usual narcoleptic symptom.
1

6.2. Immediately after the diagnosis, the writer

A. needed to find another way of making a living.
B. managed to adapt to a new daily routine.
C. had to give up some of his earlier activities.
D. joined a support group for narcolepsy sufferers.

6.3. The writer says he still hasn’t accepted

A. the way his condition is perceived by some people.
B. not being able to have a job working with other people.
C. the fact he has lost touch with all his former friends.
D. his financial dependence on his parents.

Tekst 2.

If you have seen the film Rat Race, you might remember the character of Enrico Pollini who suffers from narcolepsy and
falls asleep at the least suitable moments. While we may certainly find this amusing in a movie, narcolepsy is in fact
a serious disorder which makes the sufferers’ lives very difficult.
Narcolepsy is a condition where the normal state of arousal is severely diminished due to insufficient levels of a hormone
called hypocretin. Although it still needs to be confirmed by more research, some scientists believe that the disorder

i7ll
might also be caused by a genetic defect, which makes the body mistakenly identify healthy cells containing hypocretin
as hostile, attacking them in the process.
The most common symptom of narcolepsy is known as excessive daytime sleepiness, which means the sufferers are
afflicted by involuntary periods of such sleepiness regardless of activity or time of day. But contrary to popular belief,
they do not spend more time asleep than healthy individuals. Also, clinical surveys of narcoleptic people have revealed
7m2
that, although they say they feel refreshed and well-rested after dozing off during the day, their wakefulness subsides
only an hour or two later. Narcolepsy is also often accompanied by other, more serious conditions, the most common
of which is cataplexy, which can be described as a sudden loss of muscle control and has been found to affect about

a
70% of people with narcolepsy. As confirmed by multiple tests, it is often triggered by an outburst of strong emotions,
with laughter apparently being the most common cause. In one out of ten victims, cataplexy is the first symptom of
a6c
narcolepsy to appear, which often leads to an incorrect diagnosis of the patient’s condition.

il7l
As yet, narcolepsy is incurable, and if cataplexy appears, the loss of hypocretin is believed to be irreversible. Thus,
the sufferers need to depend on medications that can keep them alert during the day, although these might result in
undesirable side effects. A lot of doctors point towards the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Strategies
that involve a regular sleep routine, a well-balanced diet and regular relaxation have been found to reduce both the
7m2
15

number and severity of the attacks.

M

6.4. Which of the following is stated in the text as an opinion, not a fact?
A. People with narcolepsy get more sleep than an average person.
B. Cataplexy is regarded as a common symptom of narcolepsy.
C. Daytime sleep may result in a short-term period of restfulness.
D. Intense feelings may lead to a cataplexy attack.

6.5. In the last paragraph, the writer

a6c
A. describes the possible negative results of drug-based treatment of narcolepsy sufferers.
B. presents contrary opinions on the effectiveness of treatment methods for narcolepsy.
C. explains why narcolepsy is a life-long condition that cannot be treated completely.
M5

D. emphasises the significance of behavioural techniques in combating narcoleptic symptoms.

‘Everyone wants to be Irish on St. Patrick’s Day’ or so the saying goes. This 7.1. ____ out to be quite true on March

of this kind, as this honour, according 7.3. ____ many historians, goes to Boston. It was there that the Charitable
