SECTION 2: SPECIFIC ENGLISH

a) READING COMPREHENSION. Read the text and answer the questions that follow. Write your answers on the answer sheet. 1 point for each correct answer.

|Civil Service cuts are worse than feared |

|More cuts in civil service jobs are expected after Chancellor Osborne has doubled Public Administration Whitehall cuts to £6bn. He aims to |

|reduce administration costs by 34%. |

|Thousands more civil servants will lose their jobs after the Chancellor announced that he had doubled his target for cutting the cost of |

|Whitehall from £3bn to £6bn. The Department for Work and Pensions told staff they would be making up to 15,000 job cuts. |

|These cuts will be in all Whitehall departments and the minister intends to make the cuts as soon as possible to carry out a major |

|restructuring of the Civil Service. |

|Civil servants in Whitehall have claimed that there was no "masterplan" about where to cut jobs, and that departments had to make decisions on|

|where to make cuts. Many of the cuts will come through "natural selection" – people not being replaced when they retire– but more will face |

|either compulsory or voluntary redundancies. Departments are confused about the plan since the government has not announced any guidelines or |

|details yet. The policy has caused discontent among civil servants and many of the 500,000 civil servants have not been told if they are going |

|to lose their jobs and will have to wait months to find out. Permanent secretaries have been given the job of writing to employees warning them|

|that they may lose their jobs. |

|Many people in the Civil Service feel that civil servants have done nothing to cause the financial deficit. They also think that the |

|government is tackling the symptoms of the deficit but not its cause. The new policy is one of the biggest challenges faced by the British |

|government since the Second World War. Because the government has announced potentially significant reductions in the number of civil servants |

|employed across all government departments morale will suffer at all levels of the Civil Service. This in turn will make it difficult to |

|continue to ensure that services continue to be delivered to support ministers and the wider public with a high level of quality. |

|In order to show that the policy is a fair and should be applied to all counties in the EU at the last European summit David Cameron |

|demanded billions of pounds in pay and pension cuts from the EU's civil service in a show of solidarity with austerity-hit workers in the UK |

|and across Europe. |

|He introduced his demands with a paper setting out how Brussels could slash at least six billion euro - £4.8 billion - off its staff costs by |

|upping retirement ages, lowering pensions and cutting salaries. |

|He insisted the EU civil service should face the same kind of crackdown on central administration costs as in Whitehall. |

|31) The Chancellor wants to ______________________________________________. |

|A |double expenditure in the Commons |

|B |save £3b in the Department for Work and Pensions |

|C |cut spending in the Civil Service |

|32) The text says that ________________________________________. |

|A |there is a masterplan |

|B |reductions should begin as soon as possible |

|C |civil servants agree with the cuts |

 

|33) Who has to decide about the cuts? ____________________________________. |

|A |The departments |

|B |The government |

|C |The tax payer |

  

|34) Which of the following statements is correct? |

|A |There is clear policy on how the cuts will be achieved. |

|B |Details about how the cuts will be carried out have not been announced yet. |

|C |The Home Secretary is going to announce how cuts will be done. |

  

|35) Civil servants __________________________________________________________. |

|A |are happy about the situation |

|B |do not know whether they will lose their jobs |

|C |have decided to go into voluntary retirement |

|36) Civil servants __________________________________________________________. |

|A |think they have not caused the deficit |

|B |do not give quality service |

|C |are tackling the cause of the deficit |

|37) Which of the following statements is correct? Mr. Cameron thinks that |

|A | that the EU civil service should have the same cuts in costs as those carried out in the UK |

|B | Ministers will give more services in order to maintain quality. |

|C | it won’t be difficult to ensure the continuation of a high level of quality. |
