Dent, situated high in the hills of Yorkshire wakes up on six summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who simple want to catch a train from the highest station to its platforms. But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end. Dent station is situated on the Settel to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most scenic in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line from the British Rail’s cash problems. This year, for he sake of economy, the express trains which used to pass through Dent station have been put to another route. It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Bridge, built on a grand scale a century ago, is failing down. It is not alone. Half a dozen railway routes in the North of England are facing a similar threat. The problem is a born out system and an almost total lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their ages. The wooden supports for she tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old. On major lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to maintain them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead, speed limits are introduced, making the journey longer than necessary and discouraging customers. If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another source. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Building station was threatening to fall down. Repairs were estimated at 200,000 pounds Just for one bridge and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised when to local councils offered half that between them. 21. Since 1970 Dent station has been used A. only for a part of each year B. only in some years C. only by local people D. only by hill walkers 22. Of all the railway routes in Britain the on which passes through Dent A. in the most historic B. passes through the most attractive countryside C. is the mist expensive number of tourists D. carries the greatest number of tourists 23. The most urgent problem for many country railway lines is that A. rebuilding bridges B. repairing engines C. renewing coaches D. repairing station 24. The people most affected by the difficulties facing the British Rail would appear to be A. businessmen B. organized groups C. occasional and local travelers D. holiday-makers 25. In order to improve the financial situation of the country railway lines, British Rail should A. introduce speed limits B. reduce scale of maintenance C. increase fares D. appeal to local councils PAPER 2: USE OF ENGLISH AND WRITING 2 Section A: Fill each of the numbered blanks in the following passage by using only one word in each space We were watching TV when we heard a lot of barking from our kitchen.
