Part IV Reading Comprehension (35 marks)

Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using
information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.

Section A ( 5marks)

Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.

Lobos Beach, Chile

With its dramatic black rocks and sheer cliffs this is a stunning beach location. Year after year dedicated
surfers make the pilgrimage to this area in droves during the holiday season, armed with their brightly-coloured
surfboards. They come in search of the perfect wave and they are rarely, if ever, disappointed. It's a place full of
energy where the force of the Pacific Ocean meets the long crescent of volcanic sand, creating incredible barrels
which curl and break with impressive power-a real challenge for beginners and more experienced suffers alike!
All those who come surfing here need to bear in mind the deadly undercurrents and hidden rocks that are
potentially lethal. For those who suffer typical surfing injuries, first aid facilities are available in a wooden hut at
the far end of the beach ..

Only one hundred meters from the sea you can stay in log cabins surrounded by thick vegetation or opt for
the more luxurious atmosphere of the exclusive modem hotel nearby.

Keipi Beach, Hawaii

This beach is a comparatively short stretch of white, coral sand edged with palm trees. Unlike the more
famous Waikiki beach it doesn't attract large numbers of holidaymakers. One of its main attractions is that it's
perhaps the safest beach for swimming in Hawaii situated, as it is, protected from large waves and strong currents
between two rocky headlands.

Snorkeling fans can enjoy discovering coral reefs and an array of tropical fish in the perfect blue waters
which remain warm throughout the year. Snorkeling gear can be retired at one end of the beach itself at reasonable
rates.

But Keipi is more than just a snorkeling paradise: it can accommodate the less active traveler. For those who
prefer to chill out and enjoy the scenery it is easy to seek out a shady spot, recline and relax completely.

Despite its moderate size the beach offers an excellent restaurant, famed locally for its fantastic cmsme,
especially fish and seafood dishes, which is ideal for people-watching too.

Porthsea, UK

#ia'i:J;sflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ T.5.±aiaI: '.l:lffi:Xit


Cornwall is famous for its great surfing beaches and Porthsea offers that and more during the brief English
summer. You can swim, surf, sunbathe-whatever takes your fancy! Family picnics and barbeques are popular in
the afternoons. Not to be outdone by more exotic holiday destinations, this part of Cornwall offers days out in
traditional fishing boats to get a closer look at basking sharks and dolphins frolicking in the open water. In
addition to this you can visit hidden coves and discover the rich smuggling tales provided by this rugged coastline.
The indigo waters are perfect for a variety of watersports but there are also plenty of sheltered spots for curling up
with a book and listening to the sound of the waves breaking against the shore.

is a backpackers hostel just 300 metres from the sea for those who need to rest their aching bones.

Hylands Beach, Australia

Situated 4 hours south of Sydney, this has been voted the best beach in Australia due to its pristine white sand
stretching as far as the eye can see. Its crystal clear water makes it ideally suited for holidaymakers wishing to fish,
swim, snorkel or dive on sweltering summer days. Being located within a nature reserve, it is easy to understand
why you can often catch a glimpse of kangaroos on the beach and schools of dolphins off the coast, particularly
just after dawn. Facilities include both a general store and a beach cafe. Beach cottages are available for hire for
those who enjoy a sea-view but be prepared to shell out for this privilege-it doesn't come cheap! For a less costly
alternative you could pitch your tent in the designated areas adapted for this purpose further inland.

Questions 56 to 60: Mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

56. Lobos beach and Porthsea are dangerous places for surfing because the water there is turbulent.

57. Keipi Beach is relatively small and quiet, where you don't see lots of holidaymakers.

58. If you plan to take a peaceful holiday on the beach, you can go to Keipi Beach and Porthsea as well.

59. Beach cottages are inexpensive for holidaymakers to hire on Hylands Beach.

60. Holidaymakers can pitch their own tents wherever they like on the beaches.

Section B ( 10 marks)

Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.

#ia'i:J;sflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ T.5.±aiaI: '.l:lffi:Xit


What does February 29th mean to you? For most people it means an extra day at work, which might explain
why a leap year is generally considered to be unlucky. This is particularly so for those who only have the chance
to celebrate their real birthday once every four years.

(61) ___The first attempt at rationalizing the calendar was made by the ancient Egyptians over two
thousand years ago. Having worked out that there were 365 days in a year they realized that every fourth year
would need 366 days and set up their calendars accordingly. It was another two hundred years or more before the
Romans, under Julius Caesar, settled upon February as the month to which the extra day should be added.

(62) ___This is due to the fact that there are six hours left over from a strictly 365-day year. The rotation
of the Earth around the sun, though predictable as far as orbit and gravity are concerned, is not as fixed as might
be assumed as other factors, such as the effect of massive earthquakes, must be taken into account.

(63) ___The ancient Egyptians set the ball rolling by developing early versions of the sundial. Later
timekeepers included burning candles and water flowing through measurable holes. Perhaps surprisingly, the first
hourglass to use the flow of sand did not appear until medieval times. Nevertheless, measuring time remained a
relatively inexact science and it was not until the invention of the pendulum clock in the seventeenth century that
it became more accurate.

(64 )___ the lack of precision in measuring hours and minutes created problems in the maritime sector.
Sailors the world over had difficulty establishing exactly where they were at sea even though they were able to use
the sun and stars to guide them. The invention of reliable, sea-going clocks in the eighteenth century enabled sea-
farers to calculate their longitude. This, coupled with knowledge of their latitude, took the guesswork out of
pinpointing their position. Such advances meant that exploration of the oceans and trade by sea could flourish.

(65) ___ The fact that these two clocks used different measuring systems meant that eventually they
showed different times. As a result of this, in the 1970s scientists corrected the discrepancy by introducing the leap
second. However, it is not needed every year-the last leap second was on 1st January 2006. Nevertheless, in spite
of the advances in timekeeping the difficulty of measuring time with faultless precision has not been completely
resolved.

The US has proposed using the atomic clock exclusively to measure world time thereby making the older
timekeeping systems and leap seconds themselves redundant. If this method was adopted it would mean that time
would no longer be measured by the rising and setting of the sun. However, there is some resistance to the idea as
it is claimed that we would run the risk of being out of step with the rhythms of the planet's natural cycle.

Questions 61-65:Choosefrom the sentences A-G the one which best/Us each gap of 61-65.There are two extra
#ia'i:J;sflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ T.5.±aiaI: '.l:lffi:Xit
sentences which you do not need to use

A. Apart from difficulties in measuring years and months with accuracy, which had an effect on
the development of agriculture.

B. When early man began to farm the land, an understanding of how to measure time rapidly
became a priority.

C. The earthquakes sometimes affect the relevant calculations of calendar.

D. Leap years are no new phenomenon.

E. In the 1950s the invention of the atomic clock revealed that timekeeping based on the
movements of the Earth was less accurate than that based on vibrating atoms.

F. For us a leap year simply means that we have to work an extra day in February.

GA calendar which, relies on the cycles of the sun is bound to run into trouble sooner or later,
experts agree.

Section C ( lOmarks )

Questions 66-70 are based on the following passage

Guemica was the last great history-painting.It was also the last modem painting of major importance that
took its subject from politics with the intention of changing the way large numbers of people thought and felt
about power. Since 193 7, there have been a few admirable works of art that contained political references-some
of Joseph Beuys's work or Robert Mother well's Elegies to the Spanish Republic.But the idea that an artist, by
making a painting or sculpture , could insert images into the stream of public speech, and thus change political
discourse has gone, probably for good, along with the nineteenth-century ideal of the artist as public man. Mass
media took away the political speech of art. When Picasso painted Guemica, regular TV broadcasting had been in
existence for only a year in English and nobody in France, except a few electronics experts, has seen a
television set. There were perhaps fifteen thousand such sets in New York City.

Television was too crude, too novel, to be altogether credible.The day when most people in the capitalist
world would base their understanding of politics on what the TV screen gave them was still almost a generation
away.But by the end of World War II, the role of the"'was artist"had been rendered negligible by looked like
bad, late German Expressionism, or the incontrovertible photographs from Belsen, Majdanek, and
Auschwitz? It seems obvious, looking back, that the artists of Weimar Germany and Leninist Russia lived in a
much more attenuated landscape of media than ours, and their reward was that they could still believe , in good
faith and without bombast, that art could morally influence the world.

Today, the idea has largely been dismissed, as it must be in a mass media society where art's principal
social role is to be investment capital, or, in the simplest way, bullion.We still have political art, but we have
no effective political art. An artist must be famous to be heard, but as he acquires fame , so his work
accumulates"value"and becomes, ipso facto C- ~ _t) , harmless. As far as today's politics 1s
#ia'i:J;sflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ T.5.±aiaI: '.l:lffi:Xit
concerned, most art aspires to the condition of Muzak. It provides the background hum for power. If the Third
Reich had lasted until now, the young bloods of the Inner Party would not be interested in old fogeys like Albert
Speer or Arno Breker, Hitler's monumental sculptor; they would be queuing up to have their portraits
silkscreened by Andy Warhol.It is hard to think of any work of art of which one can say, this saved the life of
one Jew, one Vietnamese and one Cambodian. Specific books perhaps; but as far as one can tell, no paintings
or sculpture. The difference between us and the artists of the 1920s is that they thought such a work of art could be
made.

Perhaps it was a certain naivetee that made them think so. But it is certainly our loss that we cannot.

Questions 66-70: Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage.

66. What does the writer mean by insert images into the stream of public speech in paragraph 1?

67. Where do people in the West nowadays get ideas to form their political opinions, according to the writer?

68. Why is the word value in quotation marks in paragraph 3?

69. According to the writer, what is the principal social role of art today?

70. What does the writer say today's political art provides?

Section D ( 10 marks)

Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage.

It's not easy to understand why people become referees. From American football to baseball, from ice hockey
to polo, referees have been shouted at, sworn at, spat at, pushed, punched and kicked. They have had their eyesight
questioned, and their dressing room damaged. Certainly, nobody becomes a referee to win a popularity contest.

And yet most of them continue to tolerate the abuse along with their small financial reward, and give up their
spare time entirely for the love of the game. To get to the top as a football referee-and qualify for an allowance
of around£ 300 for each premiership match-takes at least 15 years.

It's not an easy job to excel at. Referees have to take written and oral examinations and they also have to pass
stringent eyesight and colour tests. Their performance and fitness are constantly monitored. Because it takes so
long to rise through the ranks most of the top referees are in their forties, but they will run between 10 km and 15
km in the course of a 90-minute match, much of it backwards.

Cricket umpires don't require the fitness of football or rugby arbiters, but their task is no less arduous. They
have to stand for hours in blazing sunshine, and make instant decisions on something that happens 20 meters away
as a consequence of a ball hurled at 145 km an hour. It requires an experienced eye to achieve that.

Tennis umpires face similar problems, although they have the advantage of being able to carry out their
duties while they are seated. Furthermore, at the top level, they now have the help of modem technology in the
form of "Cyclops", the electronic eye on the service line.

#ia'i:J;sflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ T.5.±aiaI: '.l:lffi:Xit


Unlike cricket umpires, tennis umpires also have to keep the score and run several stopwatches
simultaneously. There are now limits for the length of time between games, points, first and second services, and
for injury assessment and treatment. In addition, they have to adjudicate for "racket abuse"and issue periodic
warnings against the use of mobile phones or flash photography by spectators. Their only reward is a brief
handshake at the end of the match.

All sports present certain problems for the referees. The rules of American football run to 250 pages and this
is the only sport where referees use microphones to explain their decisions to the crowd. Water polo referees
suffer a particular disadvantage in that they stand beside the pool, though 75 percent of fouls are committed under
the water.

Bowl referees have to ensure that none of the players are wearing jeans. The use of talcum powder on the
soles of shoes, to facilitate a smooth slide of the foot when releasing the ball, is also forbidden.

Referees of physical sports, especially rugby, boxing and ice hockey, must be brave. A boxing referee has to
protest the losing fighter from further punishment and be prepared to throw himself into the fight. Consider too,
the Sumo Wrestling judges who must get close enough to recognize a legitimate hole and be quick enough not to
get crushed underneath a 300 kg man mountain.

Refereeing is a dirt and sometimes dangerous job. Referees and umpires will never be loved. As football
manager Ron Atkinson said after his team was knocked out of a European Cup tie in controversial
circumstances:"! never comment on referees and I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that twerp."

Questions 71-75: Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three
words for each blank.

People who want to become referees must be prepared to face verbal or even physical abuse in
the course of their work. They must also accept that the C71 ) ___they receive will be fairly
small.In order to be a qualified referee, applicants have to take various exams and pass
stringent ( 72) ___tests. Both the cricket and tennis umpires face the similar
challenges, which are really strenuous.Meanwhile, the tennis umpire may have to warn
repeatedly C73) ___about their behaviour It's especially difficult for the water polo referee to
