question Write your answers in the space provided:
Doug Allan, Wildlife Cameraman
I recently spent two years in the Arctic filming the series Blue Planet I love being in an environment
that hasn’t changed for 20,000 years Of course it’s freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds
When I am filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is Filming underwater involves cutting through thick ice and diving in tied to a line The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if necessary
Originally I was a research diver for the British Antarctic Survey project, but for me science lacked
excitement I’d always enjoy photography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since
I prefer to be face to face with the animals I’m filming I haven’t got in the water with killer whales yet, but I plan to Of course, it’s dangerous if you choose the wrong moment They’re big animals and can move fast, so I’d be stupid to film them searching for food!
Trang 3I’ve never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into
my tent Polar bears are bold, clever and dangerous But I made this one see I wasn’t about to attack
it - I’m sure it realized I wouldn’t hurt it
When I come back home from my trips, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming
to keep fit Now I’m fifty, filming is harder The challenge for me is to continue to deliver high-quality work
24 In this text, Doug Allan is describing
A the challenge of the environment he works in B the career opportunities in TV camera work
C the difficulties of having to work alone D the beautiful scenery of the Arctic
25 What does Doug say about his early career?
A He wasted the years he spent as a scientist B It was a good chance to learn about filming
C He was bored by working only in the Antarctic D It taught him how to become a skilled diver
26 When talking about killer whales, Doug says that
A he will only film them from a safe distance
B he has always been careful when diving with them
C he tries to avoid any danger by facing them
D he believes there are safe opportunities to film them
27 How does Doug describe his experience with a polar bear?
A The animal was much more afraid than Doug was
B Doug felt nervous that the bear might come back
C The bear seemed to know Doug wasn’t a danger
D Doug realized he was wrong to trust a polar bear
28 What might Doug say about his job as a cameraman?
A Now I’ve reached fifty, I realize the dangers involved in getting the best pictures are too great
B I’m glad I gave up working as a scientist because I’m now in a position to be able to retire early
C Although I find the work more difficult now I’m not as young, I still have other film projects I’m keen to do
D I’ve made wildlife films in every country in the world, but I want to keep filming until I get too old

Pyramids of Giza

The three great pyramids of Giza stand on a rocky plateau of the desert a few miles southwest
of Cairo They were built by the 4th-dynasty pharaohs Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Khefren of Chefren) and Menkure (Mycerinus), and came to be numbered among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Khufu – The largest and oldest of them is that of Khufu, now known as the Great Pyramid and called “Horizon of Khufu” by the ancient Egyptians Perhaps the greatest single building ever erected by man, the great Pyramid’s almost perfectly squarely base was, when intact, 230 m long, thus covering an area of slightly over 13 ac.; The original height was 146.59 m., reduced now to 137m The core is made of yellowish limestone blocks from the nearby Jabal
al Moquattam; the outer casing (now mostly gone) and the inner passage are of finer limestone from Jabal Taura, while the burial chamber is built of huge blocks of granite from Aswan Approximately 2,300,000 blocks of stone went into this stupendous structure, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons
The monument is a masterpiece of technical skill and engineering ability The geometrical precision of its layout and the accuracy of the stonecutting are truly amazing, particularly when one considers the colossal proportions of the whole and the size and weight of the blocks employed in it The question of how the pyramid was built has not received a wholly satisfactory answer The most probable answer is that the Egyptians, who lacked tackle and pulleys for lifting heavy weights, employed a sloping embankment of brick and earth, which was increased in height and length as the pyramid rose, and on which the stone blocks were carried by means of sledges, rollers and levers According to Herodotus the road for the conveyance of building material from the river to the plateau on which the pyramid stands took
10 years to construct, while the pyramid itself took another 20 years and demanded the labor of 100,000 men

74 Why are the layout and stonecutting so unbelievable?
