In Britain, what is described as ‘food miles’, the distance which food is transported from the place where it is grown to its point of sale, continues to rise This has major economic, social and environmental consequences, given the traffic congestion and pollution (1) (variable) follow
According to (2) (press) groups, the same amount of food is traveling 50 per cent further than twenty years ago What’s more, the rise in the demand for road haulage over this period has mostly been due to the transport of food and drink The groups assert that the increase in the number of lorry journeys is (3) _ (exceed) and that many of these are from (4) (essence)

In response to scathing (9) _ (critic) from environmentalists, some food distributors now aim to minimize the impact of food miles by routing vehicles, wherever possible, on motorways after dark This encourages greater energy (10) (efficient) whilst also reducing the impact on the residential areas through which they would otherwise pass

Part : Read the passage carefully , then choose the correct answer
San Francisco is where I grew up between the ages of two and ten and where I lived for a period when I was about 13 and again as a married man from the ages of 37 to 51 So quite a big slice of my life has been spent there My mother, who is now 90, still lives in Los Gatos, about 60 miles south of San Francisco Even though I have since lived in Switzerland and settled in London over 25 years ago, I have kept property in California for sentimental reasons
I was born in New York and I love the United States It is still a land of enormous drive, strength, imagination and opportunity I know it well, having played in every town and, during the war, in every army camp I have grown new roots in London as I did in Switzerland and if I am asked now where I want to live permanently, I would say London But I will always remain an American citizen
Climatically, San Francisco and London are similar and so are the people who settle in both cities San Francisco is sophisticated, and like London, has many parks and squares Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children We had an English upbringing in terms of plenty of fresh air and outdoors games I didn’t go to school My whole formal education consisted of some three hours when I was five I was sent to school but came home at noon on the first day and said I didn’t enjoy it, hadn’t learned anything and couldn’t see the point of a lot of children sitting restlessly while a teacher taught from a big book My parents decided, wisely I think, that school was not for me and I never went back
My mother then took over my education and brought up my two sisters and me rather in the way of an educated English lady The emphasis was on languages and reading rather than sciences and mathematics Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers and we were kept to a strict routine About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park which led down to the sea and on our walks my mother taught me to read music One day I noticed a small windmill in the window of a shop we passed on our way back to the park and I remember now how my heart yearned for it I couldn’t roll my ‘r’s when I was small and my mother who was a perfectionist regarding pronunciation, said if I could pronounce an ’r’ well I’d have a windmill I practised and practised and one morning woke everyone up with my ‘r’s I got the windmill I usually get the things I want in life-but I work for them and dream of them
1 When the writer was twelve he was living in
A San Francisco B Los Gatos
C London D a place unknown to the reader
2 During the war the writer
A became an American soldier B went camping all over the country C gave concerts for soldiers D left the United States The writer did not attend school in America because
A his mother wanted him to go to school in England B his parents did not think he was suited to formal education C his mother preferred him to play outdoor in the parks D he couldn’t get on with the other children
4 He was educated at home by
A his mother and other teachers B an educated English lady C his mother and sisters D teachers of languages and science The writer managed to obtain the little windmill he wanted by
A borrowing the money for it B learning to read music
C succeeding in speaking properly D working hard at his lessons
