Besides these large animals, every one the least acquainted with the natural history of the Cape, has read of the herds of antelopes, which can be compared only with the flocks of migratory birds The numbers indeed of the lion, panther, and hyena, and the multitude of birds of prey, plainly speak of the abundance of the smaller quadrupeds: one evening seven lions were counted at the same time prowling round Dr Smith's encampment As this able naturalist remarked to me, the carnage each day in Southern Africa must indeed be terrific! I confess it is truly surprising how such a number of animals can find support in a country producing so little food The larger quadrupeds no doubt roam over wide tracts in search of it; and their food chiefly consists of underwood, which probably contains much nutriment in a small bulk Dr.Smith also informs me that the vegetation has a rapid growth; no sooner is a part consumed, than its place is supplied by a fresh stock There can be no doubt, however, that our ideas respecting the apparent amount of food necessary for the support of large quadrupeds are much exaggerated The belief that where large quadrupeds exist, the vegetation must necessarily be luxuriant, is the more remarkable, because the converse is far from true Mr.Burchell observed to me that when entering Brazil, nothing struck him more forcibly than the splendour of the South American vegetation contrasted with that of South Africa, together with the absence of all large quadrupeds In his Travels, he has suggested that the comparison of the respective weights (if there were sufficient datA of an equal number of the largest herbivorous quadrupeds of each country would be extremely curious If we take on the one side, the elephants hippopotamus, giraffe, bos caffer, elan, five species of rhinoceros; and on the American side, two tapirs, the guanaco, three deer, the vicuna, peccari, capybara (after which we must choose from the monkeys to complete the number), and then place these two groups alongside each other it is not easy to conceive ranks more disproportionate in size After the above facts, we are compelled to conclude, against anterior probability, that among the mammalia there exists no close relation between the bulk of the species, and the quantity of the vegetation, in the countries which they inhabit (Adapted from: Voyage of the Beagle, Charles Darwin) The author is primarily concerned with A discussing the relationship between the size of mammals and the nature of vegetation in their

particularly at bends or meanders in the waterway Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are in the natural flood plains of rivers While riverine flood damage can be eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, people have traditionally lived and worked by rivers because the land is usually flat and fertile and because rivers provide easy travel and access to commerce and industry A FIRE and flood are two of humanity’s worst nightmares People have, therefore, always sought to control them Forest fires are snuffed out quickly The flow of rivers is regulated by weirs and dams At least, that is how it used to be But foresters have learned that forests need fires to clear out the brush and even to get seeds to germinate And a similar revelation is now dawning on hydrologists Rivers 一 and the ecosystems they support — need floods That is why a man-made torrent has been surging down the Grand Canyon By Thursday March 6th it was running at full throttle, which was expected to be sustained for 60 hours B Floods once raged through the canyon every year Spring Snow from as far away as Wyoming would melt and swell the Colorado river to a flow that averaged around 1,500 cubic meters (50,000 cubic feet) a second Every eight years or so, that figure rose to almost 3,000 cubic meters These floods infused the river with sediment, carved its beaches and built its sandbars C However, in the four decades since the building of the Glen Canyon dam, just upstream of the Grand Canyon, the only sediment that it has collected has come from tiny, undammed tributaries Even that has not been much use as those tributaries are not powerful enough to distribute the sediment in an ecologically valuable way D This lack of flooding has harmed local wildlife The humpback chub, for example, thrived in the rustred waters of the Colorado Recently, though, its population has crashed At first sight, it looked as if the reason was that the chub were being eaten by trout introduced for sport fishing in the mid-20th century But trout and chub co-existed until the Glen Canyon dam was built, so something else is going on Steve Gloss, of the United States’ Geological Survey (USGS), reckons that the chub’s decline is the result of their losing their most valuable natural defense, the Colorado’s rusty sediment The chub were well adapted to the poor visibility created by the thick, red water which gave the river its name, and depended on it to hide from predators Without the cloudy water the chub became vulnerable E And the chub are not alone In the years since the Glen Canyon dam was built, several species have vanished altogether These include the Colorado pike-minnow, the razorback sucker and the roundtail chub DeThi.edu.vn (8) Meanwhile, aliens including fathead minnows, channel catfish and common carp, which would have been hard， put to survive in the savage waters of the undammed canyon, have moved in F So flooding is the obvious answer Unfortunately, it is easier said than done Floods were sent down the Grand Canyon in 1996 and 2004 and the results were mixed In 1996 the flood was allowed to go on too long To start with, all seemed well The floodwaters built up sandbanks and infused the river with sediment Eventually, however, the continued flow washed most of the sediment out of the canyon This problem was avoided in 2004 ，but unfortunately, on that occasion, the volume of sand available behind the dam was too low to rebuild the sandbanks This time, the USGS is convinced that things will be better The amount of sediment available is three times greater than it was in 2004 So if a flood is going to some good, this is the time to unleash one G Even so, it may turn out to be an empty gesture At less than 1,200 cubic metres a second, this flood is smaller than even an average spring flood, let alone one of the mightier deluges of the past Those glorious inundations moved massive quantities of sediment through the Grand Canyon, wiping the slate dirty, and making a muddy mess of silt and muck that would make modem river rafters cringe Questions 1-6 Do the following statements agree with the

If the English society did not reform, ruin would surely follow Englishmen were deeply afraid that the immorality of France would invade England Taking advantage of this, Burke was able to gain considerable support by insisting that the French did not have the moral qualifications to be a civilised nation He pronounced 'Better this island should be sunk to the bottom of the sea that than it should not be a country of religion and morals.' Sobering though these messages were, the aristocracy of the time was open to such reforms, not least due to fear France's attempt to destroy their nobility did much to encourage the upper classes to examine and re-evaluate their own behaviour Added to this was the arrival of French noble émigrés to British shores As these people were dependent on the charity of the British aristocracy, it became paramount to amend morals and suppress all vices in order to uphold the state Whether the vices of the rich and titled stopped or were merely cloaked is open to question But it is clear that by the turn of the century, a more circumspect society had emerged Styles of dress became more moderate, and the former adornments of swords, buckles and powdered hair were no longer seen There was a profusion of moral didactic literature available Public hangings ceased and riots became much rarer One such person was Thomas Wackley who in 1823 founded a medical journal called 'the Lancet' At this time, Medicine was still a profession reserved for the rich, and access to knowledge was impossible for the common man The Lancet shone a bright light on the questionable practices undertaken in medicine and particularly in surgery, and finally led to improved standards of care How though did changes at the top affect the people at the bottom of the societal hierarchy? Not all reformers concerned themselves which changes at the authoritative and governmental levels Others concentrated on improving the lives and morals of the poor In the midst of the industrial revolution, the poorest in society were in dire straits Many lived in slums and sanitation was poor No-one wanted the responsibility of improvement Could local authorities impose such measures today? Probably not Even so, the legacy of the moral reform of the late 1800s and 1900s lives on today Because of it, the British have come to expect a system which is competent, fair to all and free from corruption Nowadays everyone has a right to a home, access to education, and protection at work and in hospital This is all down to the men and women who did not just observe society's ills from a distance, but who dared to take steps to change it Paragraphs A But a moral makeover was on the horizon, and one of the first people to promote it was William Wilberforce, better known for his efforts in abolishing the slave trade Writing to a friend, Lord Muncaster, he stated that 'the universal corruption and profligacy of the times taking its rise amongst DeThi.edu.vn (10) the rich and luxurious has now spread its destructive poison through the whole body of the people.' B But one woman, Octavia Hill, was willing to step up to the mark Hill, despite serious opposition by the men who still dominated English society, succeeded in opening a number of housing facilities for the poor But, recognising the weaknesses of a charity-dependent culture, Hill enforced high moral standards, strict measures in hygiene and cleanliness upon her tenants, and, in order to promote a culture of industry, made them work for any financial handouts C At first, moralists did not look for some tangible end to moral behaviour They concerned themselves with the spiritual salvation of the rich and titled members of society, believing that the moral tone set by the higher ranks would influence the lower orders For example, Samuel Parr, preaching at London's St Paul's Cathedral, said 'If the rich man abandons himself to sloth and all the vices which sloth generates, he corrupts by his example He permits his immediate attendants to be, like him, idle and profligate.' D In time, the favour for improved morals strayed beyond personal behaviour and towards a new governance People called for a tightening of existing laws which had formerly been enforced only laxly Gambling, duelling, swearing, prostitution, pornography and adultery laws were more strictly upheld to the extent that several fashionable ladies were fined fifty pounds each for gambling in a private residence E So far, however, circumspection in the upper classes had done little to improve the lives of those in the lower classes But that was to change Against a backdrop of the moral high ground, faults in the system started to stand out One by one, people started to question the morality of those in authority F The attitudes of the upper classes became increasingly critical during the latter part of the eighteenth century In 1768, the Lord of the Treasury was perfectly at ease to introduce his mistress to the Queen, but a generation later, such behaviour would have been unacceptable Such attitudes are also seen in the diaries of Samuel Pepys, who, in 1793 rambles without criticism about his peer's many mistresses A few years later, his tone had become infinitely more critical G Similar developments occurred in the Civil Service Civil servants were generally employed as a result of nepotism or acquaintance, and more often than not took advantage of their power to provide for themselves at the expense of the public Charles Trevelyan, an official at the London Treasury, realised the weaknesses in the system and proposed that all civil servants were employed as a result of entrance examinations, thus creating a system which was politically independent and consisted of people who were genuinely able to the job H These prophecies roused a little agitation when first published in 1790 But it was the events in 179293 which shocked England into action Over in France, insurrection had led to war and massacre The King and Queen had been tried and executed France was now regarded as completely immoral and uncivilized, a country where vice and irreligion reigned Your answer: WRITING Part Read the following passage and use your own words to summarize it Your summary should be about 80 words long 10 DeThi.edu.vn (11) Influenza, or 'the flu' is an infection of the lungs and the surrounding areas This infection of the respiratory tract is caused by the influenza virus The virus usually spreads during the winter in temperate climates When many people catch the flu at the same time, the situation is called a flu epidemic The proteins that coat the flu virus change constantly As a result, new strains of the flu virus circulate every few years In some countries, people at high risk are encouraged to get a flu vaccination every year Some of the people at risk are those over 65 years, children with heart or lung conditions and health care workers People with flu infections feel as if they have a cold, but the signs and symptoms are usually more severe Body areas other than the respiratory tract may be infected Signs and symptoms include weakness, chills, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, fever, running nose and cough The signs and symptoms could last for a week to ten days The influenza virus is spread largely through the air A typical situation is where one person infected with the flu coughs or sneezes when in close proximity with another person Droplets of the virus, suspended in the air, are breathed in by the other person Once the virus lands on the lining of the nose, throat or other body areas related to breathing, it reproduces rapidly Usually the flu goes away with a rest, drinking plenty of fluids and taking mild pain medication Health care providers may prescribe certain medication for people who are at high risk When symptoms not go away after seven to ten days, there is difficulty in breathing or persistent high temperatures, a health care provider should be consulted …………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………
