It is concerned with the people of Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Pacific and parts of Europe. While this includes complex empires, such as those of the Americas, the primary focus of attention in the twentieth century has been on small scale societies. Through its collections, the Department’s specific interest is to document how objects are created and used, and to understand their importance and significance to those who produce them. Such objects can include both the extraordinary and the mundane, the beautiful and the banal.The collections of the Department of Ethnography include approximately 300,000 artefacts, of which about half are the product of the present century. The Department has a vital role to play in providing information on non-Western cultures to visitors and scholars. To thisTHE DEPARTMENT OF ETHNOGRAPHY READINGseries-for instance, of textiles form Bolivia, Guatemala, Indonesia and areas of West Africa-or of artefact types such as boats. The latter include working examples of coracles from India, reed boats from lake Titicaca in the Andes, kayaks from the Arctic, and dug-out canoes from several countries. The field assemblages, such as those from the Sudan, Madagascar and Yemen, include a whole range of material culture representative of one people. This might cover the necessities of life an African herdsman or an Arabian farmer, ritual objects, or even on occasion airport. art. Again, a series of acquisitions might represent a decade’s fieldwork documenting social experience as expressed in the varieties of clothing and jewellery styles, tents and camel trapping s from various Middle Eastern countries, or in the developing preferences in personal adornment and dress from Papua New Guinea. Particularly interesting are a series of collections which continue to document the evolution of ceremony and of material forms for which the development already possesses early (if not the earliest) collections formed after the first contract with Europeans.end, the collecting emphasis has often been less on individual objects than on groups of material which allow the display of a broad range of a society’s cultural expressions. Much of the more recent collecting carried out in the field, sometimes by Museum staff working on general anthropological projects in collaboration with a wide variety of national governments and other institutions. The material collected includes great technicalThe importance of these acquisitions extends beyond the objects themselves. They come to the Museum with documentation of the social context, ideally including photographic records. Such acquisitions have multiple purposes. Most significantly they document for future change.Most people think of the cultures represented in the collection in the terms of the absence of advanced technology.In fact,traditional practices draw on a constraints are often overcome by personal skills that would be regarded as exceptional in the West.Of growing interest is the way in which much of what we might see as disposable is,elsewhere, recycled and reused.circumstances categorises them as'art'. Collections act as an ever-expanding database,not merely for scholars and anthropologists,but for people involved in a whole range of educational and artistic purposes.These include schools and universities as well as colleges of art and design.The provision of information about non-westernaesthetics and techniques,not just for designers and artists but for all visitors, is a growing responsibility for a Development whose own context is an increasingly multicultural European society.With the independence of much of Asia and Africa after1945,it was assumed that economic process would rapidly lead to the disappearance or assimilation of many small-scale societies. Therefore, it was felt that the Museum should acquire materials representing people whose art or material culture,ritual or political structures were on the point of irrevocable change.This attitude altered with the realization that marginal communities can survive and adapt in spite of partial integration into a notoriously fickle world economy.Since the seventeenth century,with the advent of trading companies exportingmanufactured textiles to North America and Asia, the importation of cheap goodshas often contributed to the destruction of local skills and indigenous markets.On the one hand modern imported goods may be used in an everyday setting,while on the other hand other traditional objects may still be required for ritually significant exchange attitudes are inverted.What are utilitarian objects to a Westerner may be prized objects in other cultures-when transformed by local ingenuity-principally for aesthetic value.

One 1 about it is almost 700 years old. In the 14th century, the Chinese planned a surprise attack against their enemies at the time of' the festival . The messages for the attack were put into cakes. The cakes were passed from one person to __2 __. Each person read the messages and knew when and where the attack would 3 . At last the Chinese won the victory.Mooncakes are still eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, the fillings of the mooncakes now are not messages, but foods such as meat, fruits and duck eggs. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of eachChinese year, 4 and friends come together and enjoy the beautiful moon. Shops are crowded with people and the smell of mooncakes 5 the air. Many people go to a place where they can see the moon clearly. Large parks and the seaside are popular places. Once there, people have a picnic dinner, eat mooncakes and watch the moon rise.Chicago, Illinois, is next to a big, beautiful lake, Lake Michigan. In the summer Lake Michigan is warm and blue. People lie on the beaches and swim in the water. In the winter Lake Michigan is cold and gray. Snow covers the beaches, and ice covers the water.On a cold January day, a little boy and his father were playing in the snow on a Chicago beach. The boy was Jimmy. He was four years old. Jimmy was playing with a sled（雪橇）. He pushed the sled down a small hill. The sled went onto the ice of Lake Michigan. Jimmy ran after the sled. He ran onto the ice. Suddenly the ice broke, and Jimmy fell into the cold water. Jimmy’s father jumped into the water. He couldn’t find Jimmy. As minutes went by, he still couldn’t find Jimmy. “My kid is dead! My kid is dead!” he screamed.Men from the Chicago Fire Department arrived. Twenty minutes later they found Jimmy and pulled him out of the water. Jimmy was not breathing, and his heart was not beating. He was dead. At the beach doctors worked on Jimmy for one hour. He began to breathe, and his heart began to beat again. The doctors rushed Jimmy to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital put Jimmy on a mattress（床垫) in bed because they wanted his body to warm up slowly. They gave him some medicine because they wanted him to sleep.After eight days in the hospital, Jimmy woke up, but he couldn’t walk or talk. He stayed in the hospital for six weeks in all. Every day he got better. Then he went to another hospital. He stayed there for seven weeks. He began to walk, talk and play again.Jimmy was in the water for over 20 minutes. He couldn’t breathe in the water. He couldn’t get any oxygen. But today he is alive and healthy. How is it possible?Jimmy is alive because the water was ice cold. Usually the brain needs a lot of oxygen. But when it’s very cold, the brain slows down. It does not need much oxygen. So the cold water saved Jimmy. Jimmy’s father has another r eason. He says, “Jimmy is alive today because he is a fighter. He is a strong little boy.”1. Did Jimmy and his father play on the Chicago beach on a winter day or a summer day?__________________________________________.2. Why did Jimmy fall into the cold water?_______________________________3. Where did the doctors at the hospital put Jimmy in order to warm up his body?__________________________________________.4.

Finally, it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished(惩罚)for bad behavior.Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today．And although it’s only a story.

Coffeehouses And Business D．English Tea And Coffee CultureMass transportation revised the social and economic fabric of the American city inthree fundamental ways. It catalyzed physical expansion, it sorted out people and land uses, and it accelerated the inherent instability of urban life. By opening vast areas ofunoccupied land for residential expansion, the omnibuses, horse railways, commuter trains, and electric trolleys pulled settled regions outward two to four times more distant from city centers than they were in the premodern era. In 1850, for example, the borders of Boston lay scarcely two miles from the old business district; by the turn of the century the radius extended ten miles. Now those who would afford it could live far removed from the old city center and still commute there for work, shopping, and entertainment. The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now know as urban sprawl. Between 1890 and 1920, for example, some 250,000 new residential lots were recorded within the borders of Chicago, most of them located in outlying areas. Over the same period, another 550,000 were plotted outside the city limits but within the metropolitan area. Anxious to take advantage of the possibilities of commuting, real estate developers added 800,000 potential building sites to the Chicago region in just thirty years-lots that could have housed five to six million people.Of course, many were never occupied; there was always a huge surplus of subdivided, but vacant, land around Chicago and other cities. These excesses underscore a feature of residential expansion related to the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl was essentially unplanned. It was carried out by thousands of small investors who paid little heed to coordinated land use or to future land users. Those who purchased and prepared land for residential purposes, particularly land near or outside city borders where transit lines and middle-class inhabitants were anticipated, did so to create demand as much as to respond to it.Chicago is a prime example of this process. Real estate subdivision there proceeded much faster than population growth.36. The author mentions all of the following as effects of mass transportation on cities EXCEPTA. growth in city areaB. separation of commercial and residential districtsC. changes in life in the inner cityD. increasing standards of living37. The word "vast" in line 3 is closest in meaning toA. largeB. basicC. newD. urban38. Why does the author mention both Boston and Chicago?A. To demonstrate positive and negative effects of growthB. To show that mass transit changed many citiesC.To exemplify cities with and without mass transportationD. To contrast their rates of growth39. According to the passage, what was onedisadvantage of residential expansion?A. It was expensive.B. It happened too slowly.C. It was unplanned.D. It created a demand for public transportation.40. The author mentions Chicago in the secondparagraph as an example of a cityA. that is largeB .that is used as a model for land developmentC. where land development exceeded population growthD. with an excellent mass transportation systemHow we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as weare, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell ns,we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandm others did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantlyunder pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats,for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: moreAmerican men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and A merica, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorterand shorter the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead ofthe way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seemsto be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one elsedoes either!41. The author thinks that people are ___.A. satisfied with their appearanceB. concerned about appearance in old ageC. far from neglecting what is in fashionD. reluctant to follow the trends in fashion42. Fashion magazines and TV advertisements seem to link fashion to___.A. confidence in lifeB. personal dressC. individual hair styleD. personal future43. Causes of fashions are ___.A. uniformB. variedC. unknownD. inexplicable.44. Present-day society is much freer and easier because it emphasizes___.A. uniformityB. formalityC. informalityD. individuality45. Which is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Care about appearance in formal situations.B. Fashion in formal and informal situations.C. Ignoring appearance in informal situations.D. Ignoring appearance in all situations.首字母填空0.5x10We have been in Australia for three days. We’re having a g 46 time here. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world.

When the steak (牛排) was brought out, he took out a fork and wanted to 21 the steak as the Italians did in Italy. His friends were 22 when they saw this, He told them what the fork was. They all said that Italians were very strange people because the fork was not easy to use at all. Thomas Coryate tried to prove that his friends were 23 , so he began to show that it was easy to use the fork. But the first 24 of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor, His friends began to 25 at him and he had to take the fork away.People in England began to use forks only fifty years later.16.

A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(误点) . We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. As a result, I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.What’s more, the service on the train was also very poor, T he trip took more than five hours. Unluckily, we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning ( 空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we reached King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40°C.Because of your poor service, I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿).I am looking forward to hearing from you.Yours faithfully,David Roberson26.When did the train leave Glasgow?A.At 8:00 a.m. B At 8:40 a.m. C.

There was something wrong with the air conditioning on the train.The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds of years ago. In those days, the people did not really eat chocolate. They used the cocoa bean (可可豆) to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it very much. Many years later, the cocoa bean was brought to other countries and people came to love the taste of chocolate.In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in Britain. One of the things he sold was chocolate drink. In 1831, he opened a factory to make chocolate drink. He wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead of other drinks. A few years later, a man called Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate instead of only drinking it. But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it. Later, ad more and more chocolate bars were produced and sold, it became cheaper.However, aT first only plain chocolate (a kind of chocolate without milk and with very little sugar) was produced. Milk chocolate came later and this was made by adding milk to the chocolate. The first milk chocolate bar was made in Cadbury’s factory in 1897. Their most famous chocolate, Cadbury’s Milk Bar, was made in 1905, It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over 100 years. The Cadbury factory is still in Britain and the chocolate produced there is eaten all over the world. Every year, thousands of visitors visit the factory in order to see how chocolate is made.31.Hundreds of years ago, people first began to drink chocolate in .A.South AmericaB.South AfricaC.BritainD.Australia32.John Cadbury opened a factory to make chocolate drink in .A.1824B.1831C.1897D.190533.People had the chance to eat chocolate instead of drinking it for the first time .A. when chocolate was cheaperB. when more and more chocolate was producedC. when John Cadbury started to make chocolate drinkD. when Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate bars.34.At first, not many people bought chocolate .A. because it was very expensiveB. because people didn’t like the tasteC. because they wanted to have other drinksD. because there was no chocolate sold in the shops35.Cadbu ry’s Milk Bar.A. was first made in 1897B. is a kind of plain chocolateC. is famous neither in Britain nor in AmericaD. is popular not only in Britain but also around the worldThere are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual.The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances, andwhen the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually madebetween the "acting area" and the "auditorium." In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactmentof rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, theyoften impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect-success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun-as an actormight. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling.According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.36.

Ritual requires fewer performers than drama.D. Ritual has a religious purpose and drama does not.Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site's "personal search agent". It's an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. "I struck gold," says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: "Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility." says one expert.For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept what you think you want to do then broaden it. "None of these programs do that," says another expert. "There's no career counseling implicit in all of this." Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. "I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me," says the author of a job-searching guide.Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When CareerSite's agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them and they do. "Oh the! day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic," says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite.Even those who aren't hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. "You always keep your eyes open," he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.41. How did Redmon find his job?[A] By searching openings in a job database. [B] By posting a matching position in a database.[C] By using a special service of a database. [D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.42. Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?[A] Lack of counseling.[B] Limited number of visits.[C] Lower efficiency. [D] Fewer successful matches.43. The expression "tip service" (Line 4, Paragraph 3) most probably means ________.[A] advisory [B] compensation [C] interaction [D] reminder44. Why does CareerSite's agent offer each job hunter only three job options?[A] To focus on better job matches. [B] To attract more returning visits.[C] To reserve space for more messages. [D] To increase the rate of success.45. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.[B] Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.[C] Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.[D] Some agents stop sending information to people once they are employed.In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind-the culture(文化) of the country.In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas, Teachers try to make each student special. Students to do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves, There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought(思想). The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason. The education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas; Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen, There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat (重复) rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.In many ways these differences come form different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make is easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.46.Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?__no they don`t ___________________________________________________________________________ __47.There is often discussion in the classroom in America, isn’t there?____yes,there is ___________________________________________________________________________ 48.What does the education in the United States encourage?____It encourages personal thought_____________________________________________________________________ ______49.Which does the education in some Asian countries pay more attention to, group goals or personal ideas?_____________Groupgoal__________________________________________________________________50.Put the sentence“ In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge作文30Some school requires student to wear school uniform ,what do you think about it ?You agree or disagree and why._________________________________________________然而，在一些亚洲国家，老师们通常认为他们的工作就是把知识传授给学生。

A place of mountains and rivers of ice, itis home to a large variety of animals.Day 17 Leave the ship in Spitsbergen and fly to London fromTroms.B.Please read the text about behaviors on airplane and answer questions 1-8.Air rage is the current expression for aggressive or disruptive behavior of airline passengers. It comes from the term road rage, used to describe drivers whose rude and hostile attitude toward others can lead to serious accidents or violence.Major airlines are becoming increasingly concerned about air rage and are training their staff to deal with it. At the same time, they are introducing tougher policies and supporting legislation that will allow local police to arrest offenders when they land. A special agreement, known as the 1963 Tokyo Convention, allows for the arrest of troublesome passengers on landing, even if they are not citizens of that country and did not technically commit a crime there.The problem of air rage may start before passengers even board the plane and may become worse on board. Reasons for air rage include heavy traffic on the way to the airport, long check-in lines, the amount of alcohol available both in the waiting area and given out free on board the plane, and strict enforcement of no-smoking laws at the airport and on the flight itself.Airline staff are trained to spot a potential troublemaker and to deal with violent behavior by talking to the person. For more serious cases, handcuffs and straitjackets are kept on board, although these are used only as a last resort. Fortunately, incidents involving serious violence are rare, but air rage is increasingly becoming an issue of concern for all airlines.1、Air rage and road rage refer to aggressive behavior by ____________a.passengers in cars or planes.b.airline passengers and car drivers.c.car drivers and airline pilots.d.airline passengers and crews.2.According to this passage, air rage _____________a.is a more serious problem today than it was 25 years ago.b.is a problem that more and more airline companies are dealing with.c.is a problem that became very serious in the 1960s.d.occurs more on certain airlines than on others.3.The Tokyo Convention enables local police _________________a.to introduce tougher policies.b.to arrest people while flying over their country.c.to arrest aggressive passengers of any nationality.d.to use handcuffs and straitjackets to restrain aggressive passengers.4.According to this passage, which of the following factors contributes to air rage?a. a difficult journey to the airportb.smoking on boardc.restrictions on alcohold.handcuffs and straitjackets being kept on board5.From this passage we can understand that airline staff will watch out for _______________a.heavy smokers.b.heavy drinkers.c.people who are nervous about flying.d.people who start talking to aggressive passengers.6.The phrase as a last resort in the last paragraph means ______________a.in a far-away vacation spot.b.if the plane cannot return to the airport.c.after everything else has failed.d.with potential troublemakers.7.What might the airline crew do to control air rage on the plane?a.allow the passenger to smokeb.arrest the passengerc.restrain the passengerd.behave rudely to the passenger8.The writer's main purpose in this passage is to _________________a.discuss the phenomenon of air rage.b.explain the reasons for air rage.c.suggest solutions for airline staff faced with air rage.d.warn passengers about air rage.C.Please read the following article about men who hunt for birds’ nests in caves inThailand, and then answer questions 1-9 in your own words on a separate answer sheet.The Nest Hunters of Tam YaiSwiftlets are shy birds that make their nests in the remotest corners of deep caves. They have the ability to fly fast and straight like arrows around the interior of the cave walls. Like some other birds, they build their nests with their saliva, the juicy liquid from their own mouths. This juice hardens quickly to make a small nest, shaped like a cup. These nests are called “white gold”, because they can be sold for thousands of dollars in the Chinese food markets. It is these nests for which the hunters of Tam Yai are prepared to risk their lives.Tam Yai cave in southern Thailand is the largest network of caves inside a limestone mountain, known as Suwan Kuha, meaning “cave temple”. It has been given this name because it contains a large area decorated with statues of Buddhas. High above the statues, in the far corners of the cave complex, is where the nests are to be found.The nest hunters climb barefoot up dangerous bamboo poles hundreds of metres above the ground to collect these valuable nests. They rarely use safety equipment, and if they fall, they will die instantly. These nests can only be reached by the bravest and most skilled climbers, and they are often only able to reach the highest nests with the aid of a stick and a net.Nest hunting is a skill passed down in families from father to son. Because of the profits that can be made, the competition among rival climbers is fierce. There are armed guards at the entrance to the cave to protect the nests from thieves. In Tam Yai, there are also strict laws to prevent illegal hunting and to ensure proper collecting, or “harvesting”, of the nests. As a result, the birds are a protected species and the number of swiftlets is growing. Nest harvesting begins in March and if the harvest is collected at the correct time of year, each swiftlet will lay eggs three times a season. Once the young birds have hatched and flown, the nests can be collected and sold to the Chinese food industry as the vital ingredient in bird’s nest soup.The recipe for the highly valued bird’s nest soup is centuries old, and the soup is said to have a value in prolonging life. Chinese doctors often prescribe it for people who are suffering from skin conditions, lung disease and breathing problems.It is important to prepare the nests thoroughly when they arrive in the restaurant kitchens. Firstly they are washed, soaked and boiled until they have a soft, rubber-like texture. Thenthey are mixed with meat and coconut and all the ingredients are cooked together. The nest itself is not delicious, in fact it has hardly any taste. As one Chinese chef says: “It is the other ingredients which give the soup its flavour. The nest is soft and crunchy, and when you prepare it you must be careful to remove all traces of the bird, such as bones or feathers. This is because Chinese people appreciate the way it feels in their mouth rather than the taste and smell.”It is an exotic dish in a multi-million dollar market. The nests themselves are small; they weigh less than 10 grams and measure just a few centimetres. But for the nest hunters the risks are great indeed.Questions:1. What happens to the saliva when the birds build their nests?2. Why do the hunters take such great risks to collect the nests?3. Which country buys most of the birds’ nests?4. Why is Suwan Kuha regarded as a temple?5. What makes the job of nest hunting particularly dangerous? Give TWOdetails.6. According to the graph, how does the price of birds’ nests in 2008compare to that of 1968?7. How is the business of nest hunting in Tam Yai controlled? Give TWOdetails.8. How is bird’s nest soup important for health?9. How does the soup get its taste?Paper III: Use of English (20 minutes 60 marks)A.ClozeSchool’s Art SaleLast Friday parents helped collect lots of money for a school by buying children’s pictures.A primary school in Bicester used its classrooms as an art gallery for a day and (1) ............parents to come and look.

Solve the following questions comprehensively.
1.Three unit circles are arranged so that each touches the other two.
Find the radii of the two circles which touch all three.
2.Find all real numbers x such that x + 1 = |x + 3| - |x - 1|.
3.(1) Given x = (1 + 1/n)n, y = (1 + 1/n)n+1, show that x y = y x.
(2) Show that 12 - 22 + 32 - 42 + ... + (-1)n+1n2 = (-1)n+1(1 + 2 + ...
+ n).
4.All coefficients of the polynomial p(x) are non-negative and none
exceed p(0). If p(x) has degree n, show that the coefficient of x n+1 in p(x)2 is at most p(1)2/2.
5.What is the maximum possible value for the sum of the absolute
values of the differences between each pair of n non-negative real numbers which do not exceed 1
6.AB is a diameter of a circle. X is a point on the circle other
than the midpoint of the arc AB. BX meets the tangent at A at P, and AX meets the tangent at B at Q. Show that the line PQ, the tangent at X and the line AB are concurrent.
7.Four points on a circle divide it into four arcs. The four
midpoints form a quadrilateral. Show that its diagonals are
perpendicular.
8.Find the smallest positive integer b for which 7 + 7b + 7b2 is a
fourth power.
9.Show that there are no positive integers m, n such that 4m(m+1) =
n(n+1).
10.ABCD is a convex quadrilateral with area 1. The lines AD, BC
meet at X. The midpoints of the diagonals AC and BD are Y and Z.
Find the area of the triangle XYZ.
11. A square has tens digit 7. What is the units digit
12.Find all ordered triples (x, y, z) of real numbers which
satisfy the following system of equations:xy = z - x - yxz = y - x - zyz = x - y - z。
