THE MYSTERY OF THE DISAPPEARING WRITER
Agatha Christie is one of the world’s most famous crime writers, having written more than 50 novels and created two of the
most well known detectives in the world: Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and elderly English amateur detective Miss
Marple. Agatha Christie’s novels have been translated into many languages, and she is one of the most widely read authors of
all time. However, Christie is also well known for being at the centre of a real-life mystery, when she completely disappeared
for eleven days.
The mystery began on the evening of Friday 3 rd December 1926, at Styles, the crime writer’s home in a small town in
Berkshire, in the south of England. At the time, Christie was already an established writer with six published novels, and her
most recent work, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, was selling well. Despite this, she was known to be in a depressed state
because her mother had recently died. And although she still lived with her husband, Archie Christie, she knew that he was in
love with another woman called Nancy Neele - another reason for her depressed emotional state.
On the evening when she disappeared, Christie got up from her chair in the living room, climbed the stairs and went into
her daughter’s bedroom. After she had kissed her sleeping daughter, she went downstairs again, and got into her car. She
drove away from her house at around 9.45 p.m., and she didn’t tell anyone where she was going. The next morning, her
abandoned car was found several miles away, near the town of Guildford. The car had driven off the road, but there was no
sign of Agatha Christie.
Not far from the place where her car was found was a lake called Silent Pool. There were stories in the local area about a

boy and girl who had drowned in there, and many people suspected that Christie had met a similar fate. The police searched
the lake, but her body wasn’t found. They also organised 15,000 local volunteers to search the surrounding countryside. The
story of Christie’s disappearance was soon in all the British papers, and in newspapers across the globe - from Australia to the
USA. There was a great deal of speculation in the press about what had happened to her. Some people thought she had
committed suicide, while others suggested she had been murdered, lost her memory, or simply created a publicity stunt.
In the end, after the police and the public had searched for days, Agatha Christie was discovered living in a hotel in the
northern town of Harrogate. A musician who was performing at the hotel recognised the famous author. She had signed in
under the name of Teresa Neele, using the surname of the woman her husband was in love with. Although she appeared to
have read the newspapers daily, she had clearly ignored all the media fuss about her disappearance. And when the police and
Archie arrived to collect her, she claimed she didn’t recognise her own husband and appeared not to be able to remember
anything about her life.
Agatha Christie never discussed those missing eleven days of her life with anyone, so we don’t know if she remembered
what had happened or not. A recent theory suggests that Christie was suffering from a state of mind called ‘ fugue’, which is a
condition brought on by trauma or depression and which causes a temporary memory loss. However, there are many other
theories, and the facts may never be known. Perhaps the truth is that she simply wanted to get away from an unfaithful
husband. The fact that she and Archie were divorced two years later and Christie got remarried to an archaeologist called
Max Mallowan supports this theory too.
Whatever your opinion, the story of Agatha Christie’s disappearance makes a great unsolved mystery. It has been the
subject of books, films and endless debate ever since that night in 1926.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 22 to 28.
The strange thing about society today is that, in spite of the demands for more and more freedom of expression and
behaviour, this trend is being accompanied by an ever-increasing reduction in the privacy of the individual. Privacy should be
part of the concept of freedom: every individual should have the right to lead his or her personal life, without others
intruding or necessarily knowing every detail of their private affairs. Somehow, in recent years, this concept has been largely
ignored by those who have a desire to control others through the accumulation of data.
For indeed it is the computer that is at the heart of this threat to our privacy: the use of the computer means that a lot of
information that previously went unrecorded is now being collected, saved and easily retrieved, something which simply had
not been possible before. People do not take kindly to this information gathering but it is difficult to estimate how much is
going on without our knowledge. Future developments in the art of surveillance, or snooping, are hardly likely to allay any
fears about loss of privacy either. Already, tiny microphones can be used to listen in on private conversations from across the
street or from the vibrations of window glass; with the trend for smaller and smaller electronic devices, we also may see one
day video cameras the size of a large wasp that could fly into a room and land on a wall, recording everything that goes on in
the room.
Naturally, there is another side to the coin, which is that of collecting data in order to protect society from criminal activity.
Already, America, Britain, Canada and Australia are compiling national DNA databases of convicted criminals, and many
other countries are thinking of following their example, although DNA databases that cover entire populations are still a

controversial point.
Question 22: According to the article the public......


A. is not worried about problems of privacy,
B. is against personal information about them being stored.
C. thinks computers.are useful for storing Information.
D. thinks that what we don't know, we don't care about.
Question 23: Future developments......
A. should make US less worried about our privacy.
B. are dependent on the use of computers.
C. are moving towards electronic devices that are hardly noticeable.
D. will enable us to hear all conversations going on around us.
Question 24: Building up banks of data on people......
A. can only be done with our knowledge.
B. is necessary in today's society.
C. should not affect people's privacy.
D. is easier now than it used to be.
Question 25: The phrase “another side to the coin” implies......
A. an opposite way of thinking
B. a better solution to the problem
C. the pessimistic aspect of the situation
D. a different way of considering a situation
Question 26: The word “intruding” is closest in meaning to......
A. trespassing
B. interloping
C. interupting
D. interfering
Question 27: According to the article, ...
A. freedom and personal privacy are increasing at the same rate.

B. privacy is only an important issue for a few people.
C. freedom is more Important than privacy.
D. the right to privacy is included in the right to freedom.
Question 28: What does the article tell us about DNA databases?
A. They could help in the fight against crime.
B. They could increase our chances of privacy.
C. They are generally accepted without any problem.
D. They are already in use in most countries.

THE MYSTERY OF THE DISAPPEARING WRITER
Agatha Christie is one of the world’s most famous crime writers, having written more than 50 novels and created two of the
most well known detectives in the world: Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and elderly English amateur detective Miss
Marple. Agatha Christie’s novels have been translated into many languages, and she is one of the most widely read authors of

all time. However, Christie is also well known for being at the centre of a real-life mystery, when she completely disappeared
for eleven days.
The mystery began on the evening of Friday 3 rd December 1926, at Styles, the crime writer’s home in a small town in
Berkshire, in the south of England. At the time, Christie was already an established writer with six published novels, and her
most recent work, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, was selling well. Despite this, she was known to be in a depressed state
because her mother had recently died. And although she still lived with her husband, Archie Christie, she knew that he was in
love with another woman called Nancy Neele - another reason for her depressed emotional state.
On the evening when she disappeared, Christie got up from her chair in the living room, climbed the stairs and went into
her daughter’s bedroom. After she had kissed her sleeping daughter, she went downstairs again, and got into her car. She
drove away from her house at around 9.45 p.m., and she didn’t tell anyone where she was going. The next morning, her
abandoned car was found several miles away, near the town of Guildford. The car had driven off the road, but there was no
sign of Agatha Christie.
Not far from the place where her car was found was a lake called Silent Pool. There were stories in the local area about a
boy and girl who had drowned in there, and many people suspected that Christie had met a similar fate. The police searched
the lake, but her body wasn’t found. They also organised 15,000 local volunteers to search the surrounding countryside. The
story of Christie’s disappearance was soon in all the British papers, and in newspapers across the globe - from Australia to the
USA. There was a great deal of speculation in the press about what had happened to her. Some people thought she had
committed suicide, while others suggested she had been murdered, lost her memory, or simply created a publicity stunt.
In the end, after the police and the public had searched for days, Agatha Christie was discovered living in a hotel in the
northern town of Harrogate. A musician who was performing at the hotel recognised the famous author. She had signed in
under the name of Teresa Neele, using the surname of the woman her husband was in love with. Although she appeared to
have read the newspapers daily, she had clearly ignored all the media fuss about her disappearance. And when the police and
Archie arrived to collect her, she claimed she didn’t recognise her own husband and appeared not to be able to remember
anything about her life.
Agatha Christie never discussed those missing eleven days of her life with anyone, so we don’t know if she remembered
what had happened or not. A recent theory suggests that Christie was suffering from a state of mind called ‘ fugue’, which is a
condition brought on by trauma or depression and which causes a temporary memory loss. However, there are many other
theories, and the facts may never be known. Perhaps the truth is that she simply wanted to get away from an unfaithful
husband. The fact that she and Archie were divorced two years later and Christie got remarried to an archaeologist called
Max Mallowan supports this theory too.

Whatever your opinion, the story of Agatha Christie’s disappearance makes a great unsolved mystery. It has been the
subject of books, films and endless debate ever since that night in 1926.

Question 2:A. elevate

C. evaluate
D. elegant
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 03 to 09.
The strange thing about society today is that, in spite of the demands for more and more freedom of expression and
behaviour, this trend is being accompanied by an ever-increasing reduction in the privacy of the individual. Privacy should be
part of the concept of freedom: every individual should have the right to lead his or her personal life, without others
intruding or necessarily knowing every detail of their private affairs. Somehow, in recent years, this concept has been largely
ignored by those who have a desire to control others through the accumulation of data.
For indeed it is the computer that is at the heart of this threat to our privacy: the use of the computer means that a lot of
information that previously went unrecorded is now being collected, saved and easily retrieved, something which simply had
not been possible before. People do not take kindly to this information gathering but it is difficult to estimate how much is
going on without our knowledge. Future developments in the art of surveillance, or snooping, are hardly likely to allay any
fears about loss of privacy either. Already, tiny microphones can be used to listen in on private conversations from across the
street or from the vibrations of window glass; with the trend for smaller and smaller electronic devices, we also may see one
day video cameras the size of a large wasp that could fly into a room and land on a wall, recording everything that goes on in
the room.
Naturally, there is another side to the coin, which is that of collecting data in order to protect society from criminal activity.

Already, America, Britain, Canada and Australia are compiling national DNA databases of convicted criminals, and many
other countries are thinking of following their example, although DNA databases that cover entire populations are still a
controversial point.
Question 3: Future developments......
A. are moving towards electronic devices that are hardly noticeable.
B. are dependent on the use of computers.

Question 4: Building up banks of data on people......
A. is easier now than it used to be.
B. is necessary in today's society.
C. should not affect people's privacy.
D. can only be done with our knowledge.
Question 5: The word “intruding” is closest in meaning to......
A. interupting
B. interfering
C. interloping
D. trespassing
Question 6: What does the article tell us about DNA databases?
A. They could help in the fight against crime.
B. They could increase our chances of privacy.
C. They are already in use in most countries.

Question 7: The phrase “another side to the coin” implies......
A. a different way of considering a situation
B. an opposite way of thinking

A. freedom and personal privacy are increasing at the same rate.

B. privacy is only an important issue for a few people.

THE MYSTERY OF THE DISAPPEARING WRITER
Agatha Christie is one of the world’s most famous crime writers, having written more than 50 novels and created two of the
most well known detectives in the world: Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and elderly English amateur detective Miss
Marple. Agatha Christie’s novels have been translated into many languages, and she is one of the most widely read authors of
all time. However, Christie is also well known for being at the centre of a real-life mystery, when she completely disappeared
for eleven days.
The mystery began on the evening of Friday 3 rd December 1926, at Styles, the crime writer’s home in a small town in
Berkshire, in the south of England. At the time, Christie was already an established writer with six published novels, and her
most recent work, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, was selling well. Despite this, she was known to be in a depressed state
because her mother had recently died. And although she still lived with her husband, Archie Christie, she knew that he was in
love with another woman called Nancy Neele - another reason for her depressed emotional state.
On the evening when she disappeared, Christie got up from her chair in the living room, climbed the stairs and went into
her daughter’s bedroom. After she had kissed her sleeping daughter, she went downstairs again, and got into her car. She
drove away from her house at around 9.45 p.m., and she didn’t tell anyone where she was going. The next morning, her
abandoned car was found several miles away, near the town of Guildford. The car had driven off the road, but there was no
sign of Agatha Christie.
Not far from the place where her car was found was a lake called Silent Pool. There were stories in the local area about a
boy and girl who had drowned in there, and many people suspected that Christie had met a similar fate. The police searched
the lake, but her body wasn’t found. They also organised 15,000 local volunteers to search the surrounding countryside. The


story of Christie’s disappearance was soon in all the British papers, and in newspapers across the globe - from Australia to the
USA. There was a great deal of speculation in the press about what had happened to her. Some people thought she had
committed suicide, while others suggested she had been murdered, lost her memory, or simply created a publicity stunt.
In the end, after the police and the public had searched for days, Agatha Christie was discovered living in a hotel in the
northern town of Harrogate. A musician who was performing at the hotel recognised the famous author. She had signed in
under the name of Teresa Neele, using the surname of the woman her husband was in love with. Although she appeared to
have read the newspapers daily, she had clearly ignored all the media fuss about her disappearance. And when the police and
Archie arrived to collect her, she claimed she didn’t recognise her own husband and appeared not to be able to remember
anything about her life.

Agatha Christie never discussed those missing eleven days of her life with anyone, so we don’t know if she remembered
what had happened or not. A recent theory suggests that Christie was suffering from a state of mind called ‘ fugue’, which is a
condition brought on by trauma or depression and which causes a temporary memory loss. However, there are many other
theories, and the facts may never be known. Perhaps the truth is that she simply wanted to get away from an unfaithful
husband. The fact that she and Archie were divorced two years later and Christie got remarried to an archaeologist called
Max Mallowan supports this theory too.
Whatever your opinion, the story of Agatha Christie’s disappearance makes a great unsolved mystery. It has been the
subject of books, films and endless debate ever since that night in 1926.

THE MYSTERY OF THE DISAPPEARING WRITER
Agatha Christie is one of the world’s most famous crime writers, having written more than 50 novels and created two of the
most well known detectives in the world: Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and elderly English amateur detective Miss
Marple. Agatha Christie’s novels have been translated into many languages, and she is one of the most widely read authors of
all time. However, Christie is also well known for being at the centre of a real-life mystery, when she completely disappeared
for eleven days.
The mystery began on the evening of Friday 3 rd December 1926, at Styles, the crime writer’s home in a small town in
Berkshire, in the south of England. At the time, Christie was already an established writer with six published novels, and her
most recent work, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, was selling well. Despite this, she was known to be in a depressed state
because her mother had recently died. And although she still lived with her husband, Archie Christie, she knew that he was in
love with another woman called Nancy Neele - another reason for her depressed emotional state.
On the evening when she disappeared, Christie got up from her chair in the living room, climbed the stairs and went into
her daughter’s bedroom. After she had kissed her sleeping daughter, she went downstairs again, and got into her car. She
drove away from her house at around 9.45 p.m., and she didn’t tell anyone where she was going. The next morning, her
abandoned car was found several miles away, near the town of Guildford. The car had driven off the road, but there was no
sign of Agatha Christie.
Not far from the place where her car was found was a lake called Silent Pool. There were stories in the local area about a
boy and girl who had drowned in there, and many people suspected that Christie had met a similar fate. The police searched
the lake, but her body wasn’t found. They also organised 15,000 local volunteers to search the surrounding countryside. The
story of Christie’s disappearance was soon in all the British papers, and in newspapers across the globe - from Australia to the
USA. There was a great deal of speculation in the press about what had happened to her. Some people thought she had
committed suicide, while others suggested she had been murdered, lost her memory, or simply created a publicity stunt.
In the end, after the police and the public had searched for days, Agatha Christie was discovered living in a hotel in the
northern town of Harrogate. A musician who was performing at the hotel recognised the famous author. She had signed in
under the name of Teresa Neele, using the surname of the woman her husband was in love with. Although she appeared to

have read the newspapers daily, she had clearly ignored all the media fuss about her disappearance. And when the police and
Archie arrived to collect her, she claimed she didn’t recognise her own husband and appeared not to be able to remember
anything about her life.
Agatha Christie never discussed those missing eleven days of her life with anyone, so we don’t know if she remembered
what had happened or not. A recent theory suggests that Christie was suffering from a state of mind called ‘ fugue’, which is a
condition brought on by trauma or depression and which causes a temporary memory loss. However, there are many other
theories, and the facts may never be known. Perhaps the truth is that she simply wanted to get away from an unfaithful
husband. The fact that she and Archie were divorced two years later and Christie got remarried to an archaeologist called
Max Mallowan supports this theory too.
Whatever your opinion, the story of Agatha Christie’s disappearance makes a great unsolved mystery. It has been the
subject of books, films and endless debate ever since that night in 1926.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 42 to 48.
The strange thing about society today is that, in spite of the demands for more and more freedom of expression and
behaviour, this trend is being accompanied by an ever-increasing reduction in the privacy of the individual. Privacy should be
part of the concept of freedom: every individual should have the right to lead his or her personal life, without others
intruding or necessarily knowing every detail of their private affairs. Somehow, in recent years, this concept has been largely
ignored by those who have a desire to control others through the accumulation of data.
For indeed it is the computer that is at the heart of this threat to our privacy: the use of the computer means that a lot of
information that previously went unrecorded is now being collected, saved and easily retrieved, something which simply had
not been possible before. People do not take kindly to this information gathering but it is difficult to estimate how much is

going on without our knowledge. Future developments in the art of surveillance, or snooping, are hardly likely to allay any
fears about loss of privacy either. Already, tiny microphones can be used to listen in on private conversations from across the
street or from the vibrations of window glass; with the trend for smaller and smaller electronic devices, we also may see one
day video cameras the size of a large wasp that could fly into a room and land on a wall, recording everything that goes on in
the room.
Naturally, there is another side to the coin, which is that of collecting data in order to protect society from criminal activity.
Already, America, Britain, Canada and Australia are compiling national DNA databases of convicted criminals, and many
other countries are thinking of following their example, although DNA databases that cover entire populations are still a
controversial point.
Question 42: What does the article tell us about DNA databases?
A. They could help in the fight against crime.
B. They are generally accepted without any problem.
C. They could increase our chances of privacy.
D. They are already in use in most countries.
Question 43: According to the article the public......


A. thinks computers.are useful for storing Information.
B. thinks that what we don't know, we don't care about.
C. is not worried about problems of privacy,
D. is against personal information about them being stored.
Question 44: The phrase “another side to the coin” implies......
A. an opposite way of thinking
B. a better solution to the problem
C. the pessimistic aspect of the situation
D. a different way of considering a situation
Question 45: Future developments......
A. are moving towards electronic devices that are hardly noticeable.
B. are dependent on the use of computers.
C. will enable us to hear all conversations going on around us.

D. should make US less worried about our privacy.
Question 46: According to the article, ...
A. privacy is only an important issue for a few people.
B. freedom and personal privacy are increasing at the same rate.
C. freedom is more Important than privacy.
D. the right to privacy is included in the right to freedom.
Question 47: Building up banks of data on people......
A. can only be done with our knowledge.
B. is necessary in today's society.
C. is easier now than it used to be.
D. should not affect people's privacy.
Question 48: The word “intruding” is closest in meaning to......
A. interupting
B. trespassing
C. interloping
D. interfering

B. After three hours’ mending this shirt of Dad’s, Mum changed it into a worse shape.
C. Mum gave Dad a worse shape after she had mended his shirt for three hours.
