Oil floats if you pour it on water.
Las oraciones condicionales pueden también ir introducidas por la conjunción UNLESS, que se traduce por SI NO, A NO SER QUE o A MENOS QUE.

17

Tiene dos formas: CAN para el present simple y COULD para el past simple y conditional.
La negación de CAN es CANNOT o CAN´T.
Para los tiempos de que carece se usa el verbo TO BE ABLE TO (ser capaz de).

About Martenitsa
A martenitsa is made of white and red yarn and worn from March 1 until the end of March, or until the first time you see a stork1 . The name of this holiday is Baba Marta. Baba means grandmother in Bulgarian and Mart is the month of March. It is a Bulgarian tradition (1) for welcoming the spring.
This is an old pagan tradition and remains almost unchanged today. The common belief is that by wearing the red and white colours of the martenitsa, people ask Baba Marta for mercy (2). They hope that it will make winter pass faster and bring spring. Many people wear more than one martenitsa. They receive them as presents from relatives (3), close friends and colleagues. Martenitsa is usually worn pinned on the clothes, near the collar, or tied around the wrist.
On the first day of March and the next days, the Bulgarians and also the foreigners living there, exchange and wear white and red tassels, small dolls and flowers.
There are different rituals when to take the martenitsa off: for example when you see the first stork or a tree with blossoms (4). If you don’t see any of these at all by the end of March, you can tie (5) the little martenitsa to a tree, so a stork can pick it up!
It is a very popular Bulgarian tradition. At the end of February there are dozens of stalls in the street selling the newest types of martenitsi and everybody is buying a bag full of them to give away.

BIODIVERSITY AND ITS THREATS
The fragile balance of plants and animals that share (1) the earth took millions of years to develop. Some life-forms have persisted in nearly (2) their original state, surviving episodes of mass extinction. Some, like ourselves, are relative outcomers. The ones that have perished (3) will not return. Neither will the thousands of species that are disappearing each year due in large part to such human influences as habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, and overharvesting *. If we continue reducing Earth´s biodiversityat this rate, the consequences will be profound. The web of life connects (4) the smallest bacterium to the whale. When we put that web in peril, we become agents of calamity.
Since the development of agriculture some 12,000 years ago, the human population has grown exponentially. So has Homo Sapiens´ use of the Earth´s resources. Today humans consume or directly use nearly half the land´s biological production and more than half of all available fresh water.
Humans have long had insatiable appetites and the technology to satisfy them. At present the greatest threat to Earth´s biodiversity is habitat loss and degradation stemming from ** such activities as commercial logging *** and fishing. Both (5) are destroying environments and stripping **** them of key species. Other threats include pollution and invasive human-introduced species.
Loss of habitat not only threatens individual species but also brings more widespread ecological consequences. In China, for instance, protecting the highland ***** habitat of the panda benefits humans living at lower elevations: recent floods of unprecedented scale have been attributed to deforested uplands ******.
* overharvesting: (here) the abuse of agriculture.
** stemming from: due to.
*** logging: work of cutting down forest trees for timber.
**** strip of: deprive of, take away from.
***** highlands, uplands: (here) mountainous regions.

DR. ATKINS’ DIET
Dr. Robert Atkins died on April 17, 2003. He had suffered a severe head injury on April 8 after falling on an icy sidewalk (1) while walking to work. He was 72.
Atkins first advocated his heterodox weight-loss plan -- which emphasizes meat, eggs and cheese and discourages bread, rice and fruit – in his 1972 book, ‘ Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution ’. Its publication came at a time when the medical establishment was encouraging (2) a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. Most doctors argued that Atkin´s diet could affect kidney function, raise (3) cholesterol levels and deprive the dieter of important nutrients. Despite (4) this, his book sold 15 million copies, and millions of people tried the diet. Atkins´ philosophy enjoyed a resurgence in the 1990`s with ‘ Dr. Atkins` New Diet Revolution ’, which sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
This year, his approach received some support from half-dozen studies, which showed that people on the Atkins diet lost weight without endangering their health, and that their overall cholesterol levels changed for the better. Still, many of the researchers were reluctant to recommend the Atkins diet, saying a large new study now in progress could settle (5) persistent questions of its long-term effects.

Materia: Lengua Extranjera: Inglés
Para la realización de los ejercicios de la prueba de inglés, se recomienda:
1. Leer el texto, íntegramente.
2. Leer el encabezado de los ejercicios, también íntegramente, para averiguar exactamente
qué se pide en cada uno de ellos. Aunque se supone que ya sabéis qué pide cada ejercicio,
pues habéis practicado durante el curso, es recomendable leer las instrucciones siempre.
3. Realizar los ejercicios en el mismo orden en que aparecen en el examen contribuirá a
una mejor comprensión del texto. Hay que tener en cuenta que sin una adecuada
comprensión del texto es muy difícil realizar la mayor parte de los ejercicios correctamente.
Así pues, aunque respetar el orden de los ejercicios propuestos no es obligatorio, sí es
altamente recomendable.
4. Para el Ejercicio 1, es recomendable que apliquéis vuestros conocimientos léxicos y
gramaticales. Por ejemplo, para averiguar el significado de una determinada palabra, es
aconsejable prestar atención a la propia forma de la palabra. A veces, la palabra en
cuestión puede parecerse a alguna palabra de nuestra lengua materna, y de esa manera
puede averiguarse su significado, aunque sea sólo de manera aproximada.
En este sentido, sin embargo, hay que tener cuidado con los false friends —ya que,
como su nombre indica, son falsos amigos y pueden jugar una mala pasada—. Esto, sin
embargo, no tiene por qué ocurrir en el examen, o en el menor de los casos.
Otra estrategia es tener en cuenta la categoría gramatical (nombre, adjetivo, verbo,
etc.) de las palabras propuestas y de sus sinónimos. Por lo general, suele haber
correspondencia de clase gramatical entre las palabras del texto y los equivalentes
propuestos (excepto, a veces, en el caso de los adverbios, cuyo sinónimo puede ser una
expresión preposicional o de otro tipo, como, por ejemplo, en “legally”: “in accordance with
the law”, “respecting the law”, etc.).
Debéis tener en cuenta que las palabras de la columna están en el mismo orden en
que aparecen en el texto, lo que también os ayudará a localizar el sinónimo adecuado de
entre las palabras/expresiones propuestas. Una vez realizado este ejercicio, podréis utilizar
los sinónimos en los ejercicios de comprensión y expresión escrita en los que se os indica
que no debéis reproducir el texto literalmente. Si realizaseis antes los ejercicios de
comprensión no podríais serviros de la ayuda que proporcionan los sinónimos presentados
en este ejercicio.

5. Para el Ejercicio 2, es aconsejable releer el texto para decidir cuál de las cuatro opciones
propuestas en cada parte (2.1 y 2.2) es la más adecuada. Una vez hayáis decidido cuál es
la respuesta más adecuada, es necesario copiarla por completo en el cuadernillo.
Únicamente hay que copiar la respuesta correcta en cada caso (2.1 y 2.2).
Por supuesto, lo mejor para seleccionar la respuesta correcta es haber comprendido
el texto. Además, debéis leer detenidamente cada una de las opciones presentadas y
fijaros, por ejemplo, si alguna de ellas contiene información que no se ha dado en el texto,
lo que os ayudará a detectar las opciones incorrectas.
Si hubiere diferencia en la extensión de cada una de las respuestas propuestas, no
debéis dejaros llevar por criterios aleatorios como “la opción más larga es la correcta”, o “la
opción más breve es incorrecta”, etc.
6. En el Ejercicio 3, recordad que las oraciones deben ser completadas con información del
texto pero con vuestras propias palabras, en la medida en que esto sea posible. No se trata
de no repetir ninguna palabra del texto en vuestra respuesta, sino de proponer una oración
en la que queden patentes vuestros propios recursos lingüísticos.
En este ejercicio, conviene localizar la parte del texto a la que se refiere el comienzo
de cada oración propuesta (a-d), comprender bien esa parte y pensar en la mejor manera
de completar la oración en un inglés lo más correcto posible, desde el punto de vista léxicogramatical,
sin contradecir la información del texto.
Habéis de recordar que el ejercicio pide completar cada opción formando una
oración completa. Una oración no es tal si no se incluye un verbo. Las oraciones sin verbo
no se contarán como tales, por lo que obtendríais 0 puntos en cada respuesta de este tipo.
7. Ejercicio 4: Se trata de completar cada uno de los huecos del texto con la palabra
correcta o, al menos, una palabra adecuada. Se entiende por “palabra correcta” la palabra
que originalmente ocupaba el lugar del hueco antes de su manipulación para la elaboración
del ejercicio. Se entiende por “palabra adecuada” cualquier otra palabra que, no siendo la
que originalmente contenía el texto en ese hueco, puede utilizarse para completarlo por ser
semántica y estructuralmente compatible con la “palabra correcta”. Tanto la palabra
correcta como cualquier otra palabra compatible o adecuada serán aceptadas en el proceso
de corrección y evaluación del examen.
Para la realización de este ejercicio es recomendable, en primer lugar, leer el
fragmento completo. Seguidamente, releer oración por oración, deteniéndose
especialmente en aquéllas oraciones que contengan un hueco para completar. En éstas,
habéis de prestar especial atención a las palabras que preceden y siguen al hueco, y
determinar con cuáles de esas palabras está más directamente relacionado el hueco, en
cuanto al significado y, muy especialmente, en lo que a la sintaxis se refiere.

Environmental Concerns
Earth is the only (0) ... we know of in the universe that can support human life. (1) ..., human
activities are making the planet less fit to live on. As the western world (2) ... on consuming twothirds
of the world's resources while half of the world's population do so (3) ... to stay alive we are
rapidly destroying the (4) ... resource we have by which all people can survive and prosper.
Everywhere fertile soil is (5) ... built on or washed into the sea…
En el hueco 0, la palabra que habéis de proporcionar va ligada, por así decirlo, a la palabra
anterior, “only”. La respuesta correcta es “place”. Una respuesta adecuada puede ser
también “planet”. En el segundo hueco, separado del resto de la oración por un signo de
puntuación (“,”), la palabra que lo completa tiene cierta independencia de lo que sigue en
el texto (debido a la coma), por lo que hay que pensar qué tipo de palabra,
gramaticalmente hablando, encajaría en ese hueco (sustantivo, preposición, conjunción,
etc.). En este caso, la opción correcta es “However”, etc.
8. Ejercicio 5: En este ejercicio, la redacción está basada en la comprensión del texto. Es
decir, hay que responder a la pregunta formulada con información del texto, pero utilizando
vuestras propias palabras. En cierto modo, este ejercicio es una variante más libre del
Ejercicio 3, con la diferencia de que la extensión de vuestra respuesta también debe ser
mayor (entre 25 y 50 palabras).
9. Ejercicio 6. En este caso, la redacción es totalmente libre: habéis de responder a la
pregunta formulada con la información que consideréis oportuna, sin tener en ningún caso
que relacionar vuestra respuesta con la información del texto. De hecho, se valora
especialmente en la corrección de este ejercicio que os “alejéis” del texto lo máximo posible
y proporcionéis una respuesta lo más personalizada posible.
10. Finalmente, para cualquier ejercicio que requiera producción lingüística, es preciso
recordar que una prueba de acceso a la universidad es una situación relativamente formal,
por lo que no es conveniente utilizar expresiones lingüísticas pertenecientes al registro
(demasiado) informal, coloquial o familiar. Por ejemplo, no utilizar “gonna”, sino “going to”,
no abusar de las contracciones, etc.
