1Read the text and answer the question. 'Deep under the ground in the Caucasus there is a lot of very hot water. The heat comes from places where the rocks of the earth are still moving. Power stations can use this hot water to make electricity all year, day and night. Hydroelectric stations work differently. They need water from the rivers, so they make less electricity when there is little rain. Modern geothermal stations also send the used water back down into the ground. This keeps the heat below the surface and stops the water from polluting the land above.' What is the main idea of the text?
A.Geothermal stations in the Caucasus can make electricity all year, and returning the used water underground protects both the heat and the land.
B.Hydroelectric stations are better than geothermal ones because rivers carry the same amount of water in every season.
C.The hot water under the Caucasus is disappearing quickly because too many companies are taking minerals out of the ground.
D.Because the used water is returned underground, geothermal stations no longer need to be built where the rocks are moving.
Explanation: The text does three things: it says where the heat comes from, it compares geothermal stations with hydroelectric ones, and it explains what happens to the used water. Putting these together, the main idea is that geothermal stations can work all year and that returning the water underground protects the heat and the land. The other options each contradict something the text says.
2Read the text and answer the question. 'Deep under the ground in the Caucasus there is a lot of very hot water. The heat comes from places where the rocks of the earth are still moving. Power stations can use this hot water to make electricity all year. Hydroelectric stations work differently: they need water from the rivers, so they make less electricity when there is little rain.' According to the text, what makes the water under the ground hot?
A.Places where the rocks of the earth are still moving
B.Water that runs down from the rivers into the reservoirs
C.Old mines that hold the warm air of the summer
D.Minerals that come out of the ground near the lakes
Explanation: The second sentence answers the question directly: 'The heat comes from places where the rocks of the earth are still moving.' This kind of question asks you to find one clear piece of information in the text, so the safest method is to look for the sentence that contains the key word, here the word 'heat'.
3Read the following sentence: 'Engineers are developing advanced drilling techniques to harness deep subterranean heat for municipal district heating networks.' In this context, which word is closest in meaning to 'harness'?
A.utilize
B.restrict
C.neglect
D.conceal
Explanation: In this context, 'harness' means to capture and make productive use of a natural resource, which is synonymous with 'utilize.' The sentence describes employing subterranean heat for heating networks. The alternative choices convey restricting, ignoring, or hiding, which do not fit the context of energy development.
4Read the sentence: 'When renewable geothermal plants operate around the clock, they supply municipal grids with unwavering electric currents.' What does the pronoun 'they' refer to?
A.renewable geothermal plants
B.municipal grids
C.unwavering electric currents
D.subsurface fault lines
Explanation: The pronoun 'they' serves as the subject of the main clause ('they supply...') and refers back to the plural subject of the preceding dependent clause ('renewable geothermal plants'). Syntactically and logically, it is the plants that supply electricity to the grids. Grids and currents are recipients or outputs, while fault lines are not mentioned in this sentence.
5Read the text and answer the question. 'Power stations can use the hot water under the ground to make electricity all year, day and night. Hydroelectric stations work differently. They need water from the rivers, so they make less electricity when there is little rain.' What can we understand from the text about the two kinds of station?
A.A geothermal station produces electricity more steadily through the year, because it does not depend on the rain
B.A hydroelectric station is cheaper to repair than a geothermal station in a dry summer
C.A geothermal station has to stop working whenever the rivers become low
D.A hydroelectric station produces more electricity in winter than every geothermal station together
Explanation: The text does not use the word 'reliable', so you have to put two facts together. Geothermal stations work 'all year, day and night', while hydroelectric stations 'make less electricity when there is little rain'. From this it follows that the geothermal station is the steadier of the two, and the reason is that it does not depend on rainfall.
6Read the text and answer the question. 'Modern geothermal stations send the used water back down into the ground. This keeps the heat below the surface and stops the water from polluting the land above.' What is the writer's opinion of sending the used water back underground?
A.The writer is in favour of it and presents it as something that protects both the heat and the land
B.The writer is worried about it and warns that it may make the ground shake
C.The writer has no opinion and only describes the machines that are used
D.The writer is against it and says that poorer countries cannot pay for it
Explanation: To find a writer's opinion, look at the words used to describe the action. Here the writer says the practice 'keeps the heat' and 'stops the water from polluting' the land. Both of these describe good results, so the writer clearly approves. Neither of the two sentences contains any warning, doubt or complaint.
7Read the text and answer the question. 'Power stations can use the hot water under the ground to make electricity all year, day and night. Hydroelectric stations work differently. They need water from the rivers, so they make less electricity when there is little rain.' Why does the writer mention hydroelectric stations here?
A.To show, by comparison, that geothermal stations produce electricity more steadily
B.To argue that all the hydroelectric stations in Georgia should be closed
C.To prove that rivers damage the environment and should not be used for energy
D.To explain why geothermal stations have more problems in winter than river stations
Explanation: A writer often brings in a second example in order to make the first one clearer. Here the hydroelectric station is introduced immediately after the sentence about working 'all year, day and night', and the linking phrase is 'work differently'. The comparison therefore exists to bring out the steadiness of the geothermal station, not to make a case about rivers.
8Read the text and answer the question. 'Scientists digging at Shulaveri and Gadachrili Gora in Georgia have found pieces of pottery with traces of wine on them. These pieces are about 8,000 years old, and they show that people here were making wine earlier than anywhere else in the world. Georgians still use a special clay pot called a qvevri. It has the shape of an egg, it is covered inside with beeswax, and it is buried in the earth up to its neck. In 2013 UNESCO added this old Georgian way of making wine to its list of the cultural heritage of humanity.' Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the whole text?
A.Georgia has been making wine for about 8,000 years, and its traditional qvevri method is now recognised by UNESCO.
B.Modern cooling machines have completely replaced clay pots in the wine cellars of Georgia.
C.UNESCO was created in order to protect the pots that farmers use in their work.
D.The scientists at Gadachrili Gora were only interested in the shape of prehistoric houses.
Explanation: A sentence that expresses the main idea has to cover the whole text and not just one part of it. This text has two halves: how old Georgian winemaking is, and the qvevri method that UNESCO has recognised. Only the first option contains both. The others each repeat or invent a small detail, and two of them state things the text never says.
9Read the text and answer the question. 'The qvevri is a large clay pot in the shape of an egg. Georgian winemakers bury it in the earth up to its neck. Under the ground the temperature stays almost the same day and night, so the wine can rest and change slowly for many months. In this way the winemakers do not need any electric cooling.' According to the text, why do Georgian winemakers bury the qvevri in the earth?
A.Because under the ground the temperature stays almost the same, so no electric cooling is needed
B.Because the earth protects the clay pot from being broken by farm machines
C.Because the warm soil makes the wine ready much more quickly
D.Because animals living under the ground cannot reach the grape juice there
Explanation: The third and fourth sentences give the reason directly: the temperature under the ground 'stays almost the same day and night', which lets the wine change slowly, and so 'the winemakers do not need any electric cooling'. With a question that begins 'why', look for the sentence that explains a result rather than one that only describes the object.
10Read the sentence: 'The astonishing antiquity of the ceramic shards stunned archaeologists, who previously believed viticulture originated thousands of miles away.' What is the meaning of 'antiquity' in this context?
A.great age or ancient origin
B.fragile composition
C.artistic beauty
D.monetary valuation
Explanation: In this archaeological context, 'antiquity' refers to the ancient chronological age of the artifacts (dating back thousands of years). The sentence contrasts their great age with previous chronological beliefs. The other choices describe physical durability, aesthetic quality, or commercial price rather than chronological age.

Georgia Unified Foreign Language: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master Verb Tense Sequencing: Focus particularly on Past Perfect vs Past Simple in narrative contexts, Present Perfect Continuous for ongoing duration, and Future Perfect for deadlines.
2Analyze Reading Passages Actively: Underline topic sentences in each paragraph, track pronoun references back to their antecedents, and eliminate distractors that contain extreme words or unmentioned facts.
3Learn Phrasal Verbs in Contextual Clusters: Group verbs by particle (e.g., turn up, turn down, turn in, turn out) and learn their distinct figurative and literal meanings.
4Practice Inverted Conditionals and Advanced Modals: Pay attention to formal structures like 'Had we known', 'Were you to consider', and modal distinctions like 'needn't have done' vs 'didn't need to do'.
5Pay Attention to Derivational Word Families: Master how suffixes transform verbs into nouns (-tion, -ment, -ance) or adjectives into adverbs and negative forms.
6Time Your Practice Realistically: Pace yourself to spend roughly 1 to 1.5 minutes per objective question to leave ample time for deep reading and complex syntax analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Unified National Examination in Foreign Language in Georgia?

The Unified National Examination in Foreign Language is a mandatory standardized entrance examination administered by the National Assessment and Examinations Center (NAEC) under the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of Georgia. It assesses secondary school graduates' foreign language competence (predominantly English) for university entrance and state educational grant competition.

What is the minimum passing threshold and scoring system?

The examination has a maximum possible score of 70 points. To clear the minimum competence threshold, candidates must score greater than 20% of the total points (more than 14 points). However, admission to prestigious programs and receipt of state grants (up to 100% tuition coverage) requires substantially higher competitive scores.

What CEFR level does the NAEC English examination test?

NAEC states that the difficulty of the test material is CEFR B1. The paper tests listening and reading at that level, lexical and grammatical gap-fill and dialogue completion, and writing through an essay of 120-170 words. Some items in this practice bank sit above B1 by design.

How long is the examination and what is the registration fee?

The official test duration is 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes). NAEC charges 10 GEL for each Unified National Examination subject, payable during the spring registration window.

How does this practice question bank prepare candidates for the examination?

This 100-question practice bank systematically mirrors the objective multiple-choice reading, grammar, vocabulary, and language-in-use components of the NAEC syllabus. Every question includes four rigorous answer options, detailed linguistic rationale, and specific explanations for why each incorrect distractor is invalid.
