You are required to select one of the suggested answers labelled A–D as the correct answer and record its letter of the alphabet in the answer box. In 1995, it was estimated that 1 in 50 Britons now in their mid-80s would live to age 100 or older. This figure is a result of improved nutrition and medical treatment which has improved for 1 in 16 for people in their mid-80s now (in 2010). Official figures showed this estimate for 2000 to be 1 in 25. There were 9,296 people aged 100 or over in Britain in 2008; an increase of 1,000 on 2007, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The findings come just a month after ONS data showed that there were 1.005 pensioners for every child under 16. In recent years there have been seven women for every man who have lived to age 100 or older, but this ratio is declining as male life expectancy is improving at a faster rate than that of women. The number of centenarians has increased by 5.4% a year since 2008 and this trend is expected to continue for the next five or more years. 26. How many more Britons in a cohort of 100,000 in their mid-80s in 2010 can be expected to live to age 100 or older than a cohort of 100,000 Britons in their mid-80s in 1995?

True, false and cannot tell questions Sour tasting things contain acids. They are only weak solutions of acid as something that is strongly acidic will burn human skin. A bee sting contains an acid, our stomach contains hydrochloric acid and a car battery contains a very strong solution of sulphuric acid. Acids are very widely used in the chemical industry. Pollution from power stations causes acid rain, which kills trees and fish. 36. It can be inferred from the passage that the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs is weak. Answer: False Explanation: the passage states that we must only taste weak solutions of acid but nothing is said about the acid in our stomachs other than it is hydrochloric acid and so it is false that we can infer that the acid in our stomach is weak 37. The primary purpose of the passage is to describe the properties of things that taste sour. Answer: False Explanation: the primary purpose of the passage is to describe the properties and uses of acids. One of these properties is that they taste sour. 38. It can be inferred from the passage that the acid in a car battery would burn if it made contact with our skin. Answer: True Explanation: the passage states both that strongly acidic soluations burn and that a car battery contains a strong solution of sulphuric acid. It is be inferred from the passage therefore that the acid in a car battery will burn our skin. 39. A wasp sting contains an acid. Answer: Cannot tell Explanation: the passage states that a bee sting contains an acid and makes no reference to what is contained in a wasp sting so we cannot tell if the statement is true or false. 40. Lemon juice is an example of a sour tasting thing that is mentioned in the passage. Answer: False Explanation: it is true that lemon juice is sour tasting but it is not true that this is mentioned in the passage; in fact, no examples of sour tasting things are mentioned
