THE QUEEN OF THE CHANEL Some time ago, Alison Streeter swam the Chanel – the stretch of water between Britain and France – for the 19 th time.

I’ll do it,” she says. This was her fifth return trip. Since the first Chanel swim in 1875, only 478 swimmers have (28) to do it. Only one in ten attempts to swim the 34km succeeds, but Alison has never failed. For many swimmers, to do it (29) once would be enough, but to keep goin back and do it again must surely be madness. “When I first did it, I didn’t think it was anything special,” says Alison, and almost dismissing the achievement. “I didn’t really want to do another swim. Then someone (30) me to have a go at two-way crossing. The thought of being the first British swimmer to do that was quite exciting.” During a swim, she (31) on regular drinks of tea mixed with a carbonhydrate power. A red light-stick is attatched to her back (32) she can be seen by the boat accompanying her. “In the early days I used to be almost asleep (33) ,” she says. “I would try to calculate the number of strokes I was doing per hour.

THE NEW BRITISH LIBRARY Originally comissioned over 15 years ago, the New British Library was supposed to open in 1990. However, the project has been (36) by political infighting, poor planning and financial problems. The most recent (37) came in June when inspectors discovered that 60 miles of new metal shelving had started to (38) and needed to be replaced. That would (39) the opening of the project’s first phase for yet another two years. “Things have gone from bad to worse,” said Brian Lake, secretary of the Regular Readers, an association of writers and scholars who are not happy with plans for the new library. “It is a grand national project that has become a great national scandal.” It sounded like a splendid idea when the government (40) its £164 million project in 1978. Sotiphicated electronic equipment would help keep the library irreplaceable stock at an optimal (41) and humdity. A computer-controlled delivery system would provide books to readers within minutes of a (42) rather than days. And to serve other needs of reading public, the library would also include (43) galleries, a restaurant and a conference hall. That was a plan, (44) . The start of construction was delayed until 1982 by arguments about planning and by change of government. Four years later, members of the cabinet ordered a (45) report and discovered that the committee responsible for supervising the project hadn’t met in four years. 36.

There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae or pupae. In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought in the form of inactive eggs. These are shrimps that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the southwest of the United States where shade temperature of over 50 0 C are often recorded. The eggs are in the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake, once every two or five years, these eggs hatch. Then the water soon swarms with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimeter long which feed on microscope plant and animal organisms which grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimeter to a length of about 1 1/2 centimeters. Through the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore, it is a race against time. By twelfth day, when they are about 3 centimaters long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually, bu this time, all that ramains of the final hours of their brief lives, the females lay their eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates. If sufficient rain falls the following year to form another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the cycle growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death is rapidly passed through. If there is insufficient rain to form a lake, the eggs like dormant for years, or even longer if necessary. Ocasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that last a month or more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of gowth, egg-laying and death. Thus the species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival. 46. What does the passage mainly discuss? A.The effects of drought in the desert.

The aspect of language use that is most worth changing is clarity and style of written prose. Expository Bài tập nâng cao Tiếng Anh 12 Lyn1982vn@gmail.com Lê Nga CBT - 2010 4 writing requires language to express far more complex train of thought than it was biologically designed to do. Inconsistencies caused by limitations of short-term memory and palnning, unnoticed in conversation, are not as tolerably when preserved on a page that is to be persued more leisurely. Also, unlike a conversational partner, a reader will rarely share enough background assumptions to interpolate all the missing oremises that make language comprhensible. Overcoming one’s natural egocentrism and trying to anticiplate the knowledge state of a reader at every stage of the exposition is one of the most important tasks in writing well. All this makes writing a difficult craft that must be mastered through practice, instruction, feedback, and-probably most important-intensive exposure to good examples. There are excellent manuals of composition that discuss these and other skills with great wisdom. What is most relevant is how removed their practical advice is from the trivia of split infinitives and slang. For example, a banal but universally acknowledged key to good writing is to revise extensively. Good writers go through anywhere from two to twenty drafts before releasing a paper.
