Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D) for each question. Write A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet. (10 points) The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths. Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer people go to fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would have a better and healthier lifestyle. The countryside faces many threats. Some are associated with modern farming practices, and the use of chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for new houses. The green belt, an area of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure. Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect the countryside. Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the building work. America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns. Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people who live in the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going shopping can mean driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can. As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks.

MAN: Good morning, Synmouth Museum Can I help you?

WOMAN:Oh yes Good morning I’m interested in the children’s workshops and I'd like a little more information, please MAN: Do you mean the Art and Craft workshops?

WOMAN:Yes A friend of a friend mentioned them - the children do painting and make models and so forth

MAN: Yes, of course Um, where to begin? First of all, as you probably know, they run every Saturday WOMAN:Fine And what about ages?

MAN: Well, all ages from five upwards are welcome, though we do ask that children

below eight years of age are accompanied by an adult

WOMAN:Fine That wouldn’t be a problem What about cost?

MAN: Well, 1 think you’ll find them very reasonable It’s £2.50 a child, with 80 pence off for two or more children from the same family WOMAN:Oh yes, very reasonable And are they held in the main museum?

MAN: Not exactly They’re nearby

WOMAN:Could you give me the full address? I don’t know the area very well

MAN: Yes, it’s Winter House

WOMAN:Right

MAN: And that’s in Tamer Street

WOMAN:Could you spell that please?

MAN: Yes T-A-M-E-R Street

WOMAN:Lovely

MAN:

And I do need to tell you that there’s a security entrance, so you need to press the green button for someone to let you in Don't press the red button please, but don’t worry, it’s all clearly labelled

WOMAN:OK And one more question - is parking available nearby? We’re driving in from out of town MAN: Your best bet is to leave your car at the back of the library - on a Saturday

morning there are plenty of spaces there It’s right next door to the museum

WOMAN:And can I ask about booking places?

MAN: Yes, and I must tell you, you really should book by calling the education department here

WOMAN:Oh, I’m sorry, should I have rung them instead of the main museum number?

MAN: No, that’s fine this time, please don’t worry But for future reference, I’ll give you the direct number It’s two hundred-seven-six-five WOMAN:Great, I’ve got that.)

M: Here's another mug of coffee Do you know it’s already a quarter to midnight?

S: Thanks, Mum I don’t know why I always seem to end up studying at the last minute I know it’s silly, and it’s not a good idea Cramming in facts late at night until the early hours M: What you need is a revision timetable You know, a month or so before the exams start, you should sit down and plan all the work you have to do, and how much you are going to do each day If you did that, you wouldn’t end up working in the middle of the night

S: Mmmmm at the moment I’m just studying the things that I think are likely to come

up Three or four for each subject A group of us got together and discussed this

M: But is that not a huge risk?

S: Yes, of course it is but I haven’t got time to cover the whole course

M: And you know, the way you’re doing things at the moment is crazy Not just from the work point of view but everything Studying late, getting up late, not eating properly

S: You’re right And I’m drinking far too much coffee, and probably eating too much chocolate too, but they make me feel wide awake, so I’m able to study better

M: That’s because they’re stimulants How do you feel after the effect has worn off?

S: W ell I suppose I just keep taking more But it’s very hard to get to sleep afterwards, and

almost impossible to get up in the morning

M: You need proper rest and exercise When was the last time you went for a jog or even went for a walk? And you haven’t been to basketball practice for weeks! If your body is

in such bad shape how can you expect your mind to work properly?

S: Yes, I know I [fade]

B, C, or D) to each of the following questions

A: and I’d like to welcome Dr Joe Purdy of the Institute for Scientific Research

B: Thank you

A: Dr Purdy, what would you say is the most striking thing about volcanoes?

B: Well, volcanoes are a very powerful natural phenomenon And of course they can cause a village with hundreds of people to disappear in seconds But for me, what is most amazing about them is the fact that they can erupt at any time, without any warning

A: It’s true Also, people have recorded the deaths caused by Mount Etna for over three

thousand years, and it has only killed seventy-three people in all that time That’s not very many when you think about it, though there was a large eruption in sixteen sixty-nine but nobody recorded any deaths

B: Amazing

A: Volcanoes are always changing for example, the cone, that’s the channel the lava flows through, can close up and a new cone can form A new cone is actually a new volcano On the site of Mount Fuji in Japan, there were two other volcanoes there before the present one

B: Amazing!

A: Mount Fuji is actually a very popular place for tourists, including the Japanese It has about four hundred thousand visitors a year In the summer, there can be twenty thousand a day B: And can you tell us about the word "volcano" itself?

A: Yes it comes from the Italian word "vulcano" which means "burning mountain", and that comes from the Latin "Vulcanus" All "burning mountains", like Vesuvius and Mount Fiji, were given this name, but the name "Vulcanus" was first given by the Romans to Mount Etna because they thought that it was the home of the god Vulcanus
