You will find several questions or unfinished statements in this section. You have four suggested answers or ways of finishing. Choose the one you think is the correct answer. For each question, indicate whether the letter A, B, C or D is correct.

FIRST PASSAGE:

May 15 was the day we attempted to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. The morning saw us all up and rushing around at daybreak. We bumped down ten miles of dusty tracks, each clutching a camera or one more delicate instrument to our chests, so our bodies absorb the shocks from the bumpy road. The ground staff were busy when we arrived. The sheds where the aircraft were kept had been opened, and the great machines were pushed into the tarmac. The oxygen bottles were placed in their clips and connected to the system. The vertical cameras were fitted and tested, and airframes and engines were inspected and tested. Pilots and observers fussed around their equipment, trying oxygen masks, readjusting straps, and checking carefully electric leads and oxygen feed pipes. Then they re-checked the charts, which had been carefully prepared to accurately allow the increasing wind speeds during the climb – all trying to keep themselves busy during the tense half-hour wait for the return of the reconnaissance machine. There had been so much preparation for this flight, yet still, so much is unknown that crews could not help being affected by the excitement. Waiting is always unpleasant, and we were all relieved to see the reconnaissance machine driving down through the dust haze. The Air Commander who commanded it brought welcome news. Though he could not climb above the dust, he could see towards the mountains and the sky was cloudless. We had promised not to attempt the flight if the wind exceeded 40 miles an hour, but this was the first time we had found the wind under 100 miles an hour. We reckoned that provided we spent at most 15 minutes at the summit; we could get back inside our petrol endurance. We might wait for days and weeks and not get another opportunity. The Air Commander carefully weighed the option and said, “Go”.

The writer and his colleagues held their instruments close to their bodies because

there were so many people in the car.

the dust might have obscured the cameras.

the surface of the track was very uneven.

they wanted to protect themselves from bumps.

During the reconnaissance flight, the Air Commander was able to

get close to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The purpose of this expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro was to

investigate the atmospheric conditions on the mountain.

SECOND PASSAGE:

Standing alone at the Ashtons´ party, Tyler Jones thought about her husband Dale. He was thin, forty-five years of age, with dark hair that was often untidy. In the sixteen years that they have been married, he had changed very little: he was still nervous with other people and smiled in the same shy way, and his face was still boyish. She believed she had failed him because he wanted children, and she couldn’t have any. She had, over the years, become neurotic about this, and at Dale´s request, she saw a psychiatrist, Dr Barnes. In the drawing room of the Ashtons, its walls and ceiling gleaming with a metallic gold surface, Tyler listened to recorded music and continued to think about Dale. In a moment, he would arrive, although it was three-quarters of an hour later than he had said. The Ashtons were people he knew in a business way, and he had thought that he and Tyler should attend this gathering. She had never met them before, which made it difficult for her, to have to wait about, not knowing anyone in the room. She was now nervous, and she felt sick. Dale was kind to her and always had been but it was far from considerate to be late this evening. She looked at her watch and sighed.

Why does Tyler feel awkward at the party?

her husband´s nervousness affects her.

she doesn´t like the Ashtons.

her husband isn´t coming.

she doesn´t know anybody.

What makes Tyler inadequate?

her stormy relationship with her husband.

her husband´s youthful appearance.

her inability to have children.

her lack of success at parties.

Why did Dale want Tyler to attend the party?

he wanted her to have a social life.

he was going to be late.

he needed her support.

he thought she would like the Ashtons.

When Tyler thought of her husband Dale, she saw him as

a nervous man when with other people.

an untidy man who was not worried about his appearance.

a 45-year-old man with a boyish face.

someone who has changed during their sixteen-year marriage.

While in the Ashtons´ drawing room, Tyler was

marvelling at the rich drawing room.

listening to music and thinking of her husband.

dancing to the recorded music.

thinking of finding someone to speak to.

Tyler starts to get angry because

she resents the Ashtons ´ wealth.

she isn´t feeling very well.

her husband is usually more thoughtful.

parties bored her.

A history of the apple

Pre-historic wilding 8000 BC Human beings have been munching apples since prehistoric times. They spat out apple pips in neolithic Britain. And 10,000 years ago, they left apple remains to carbonise around their Swiss and Italian lakeside. In Switzerland and the Caucasian mountains, ancient humans appear to have dry stored apple halves for winter. But these were wild crab apples, tiny, wizened fruit which, in Ancient Britain, became known as “wildings”. They had little in common with the apples of today.

Norman knowledge 1000 AD From the Romans, the French earned excellent fruit-growing skills developed in the monasteries. This knowledge, which included expert cider-making, was taken to Britain from Roman times, like the dessert apple, Decio – thought to have been introduced by the Roman general, Etio. But most Roman varieties were unsuitable for the British climate, unlike the Norman varieties. British monks continued experimenting and developing new apples, from which Western apples descended from.

Medieval favourites 1200 Several kinds of apples became established in Britain during the thirteenth century. The Old English Pearmain, recorded in 1204 and so named because of its pear-liked shape, was the central dessert apple until the eighteenth century. Its cooking partner was the Costard, which was sold in the markets of Oxford from 1296 until the end of the seventeenth century and gave us the word “costermonger” – meaning someone who sells fruit and vegetables in the street. But prosperity declined in the country due to successive droughts, the Black Death, and the Wars of Roses. Fewer apples were produced, and more were imported. This continued until the sixteenth century when Henry the Vlll ordered his chief fruiterer, Richard Harris, to visit France and learn about apple cultivation. Harris returned with a great store of grafts, including the famous Pippins, from which he grew the first modern-style orchard at Teynham in Kent.
