Please read the following article about men who hunt for birds 'ests in caves inThaila nd, and the n an swer questi ons 1-9 in your own words on a separate an swer sheet.The Nest Hun ters 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 n ests with their saliva, the juicy liquid from their own mouths. This juice harde ns quickly to make a small nest, shaped like a cup. These nests are called “ white gold ” , because they cabe sold for thousa nds of dollars in the Chin ese food markets. It is these n ests for which the hun ters ofTam Yai are prepared to risk their lives.Tam Yai cave in souther n Thaila nd is the largest n etwork of caves in side a limest one mou ntai n, 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 cor ners of the cave complex, is where the n ests are to be found.The n est hun ters climb barefoot up dan gerous bamboo poles hun dreds of metres above the grou nd 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 n ests with the aid of a stick and a n et.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 collec ting, or “ harvesting ” , of the nests. As a result, the birds are a protected species and the n umber of swiftlets is grow ing. Nest harvest ing beg ins in March and if the harvest is collected at the correct time of year, each swiftlet will lay eggs three times a seas on. Once the you ngbirds have hatched and flow n, the n ests can be collected and sold to the Chin ese food in dustry as the vital ingredient in bird ' s nest soup.The recipe for the highly valued bird ' s nest soup is centuries old, and thecBbavesasaid tvalue in prolonging life.

Firstly they are washed, soaked and boiled until they have a soft, rubber-like texture. Then they 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 Chin ese chef says: "It is the other in gredie nts which give the soupits 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 Chin ese 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 tha n 10 grams and measure just a few cen timetres. But for the n est hun ters the risks are great in deed.Questi ons:1. What happe ns to the saliva whe n the birds build their n ests?2. Why do the hun ters take such great risks to collect the n ests?3. Which country buys most of the birds ' n ests?4.

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.

Along the way you'll see thousands of seabirds and wonderful scenery, with rivers of ice and huge cliffs. You will have the chance to see reindeer, polar bears, and other Arctic animals. Although we have a timetable, experience has shown that we may have to change our direction a little, depending on the weather and on which animals appear.The Northern Star is a very special ship and our past voyages have been very popular. Our cabins all have the same excellent facilities, which include a private bathroom and refrigerator. Our chefs are happy to prepare any food for people on special diets. Choose just what you want to eat from the wide variety available from the dining room buffet. Thereis a library, shop, clinic and plenty of space for relaxation.

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 cavesin Thailand, 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. Then they 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.

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 in Thailand, and thenanswer 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. Then they 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 TWO details.6. According to the graph, how does the price of bird s’ nests in 2008 compare tothat of 1968?7. How is the business of nest hunting in Tam Yai controlled? Give TWO details.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.

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 thousandsof 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 preventillegal hunting and to ensure proper collecting,or“harvesting”,of the nests.As a result,the b irds 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.Then they 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 than10grams and measurejust 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 grap h,how does the price of birds’nests in2008compare to that of1968?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(20minutes60marks)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 fora day and(1)............p arents to come and look.All the pupils(2)............a work of art and(3)............p ainting wenton sale at ￡5.Hundreds of parentsand relations came and,together,they spent(4)............￡2,000.Now the school is(5)............of making the exhibition bigger next year by also contacting businesses(6)............o perate in the local area.One of theschoolchildren’s parents first had the(7)............after going to(8)............e xhibitions in her home country,South Africa.The school has decided to(9)............t he money to buy books and CD players.The Head Teacher said he was delighted to see the school(10)............full and he was very proud of the children.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10A hopedA operatedA fewA overA planningA whatA memoryA sameA bringA soB invitedB playedB someB moreB thinkingB whoB ideaB likelyB addB tooC pleasedC performedC eachC closeC consideringC whichC habitC similarC joinC suchD wishedD producedD allD nearD wantingD whoseD choiceD equalD useD enoughB.Grammar and Vocabulary Multiple Choices1.We don't have any milk left._____?a.don't youb.are wec.do wed.have you2.I tried on two sweaters,but I didn't buy_____of them.a.eitherb.nonec.neitherd.any3.If they________________the car earlier,they wouldn't have gotten stuck on the road.a.were checkedb.did checkc.had checkedd.checked4.I saw every episode in that_____________television series.a.ten-partsb.tens-partc.tens-partsd.ten-part5."How are you managing with the new computer program?""Not great.I___________to figure it out yet.'"a.can't have managedb.haven't managedc.don't managed.haven't been managing6.I've been trying____________Sue all morning.a.to callb.callingc.calld.to have called7.You___________close all the windows before you leave the house.a.needb.shouldc.oughtd.might8.He was accused______________stealing money from the store.a.inb.forc.byd.of9.We stayed up to watch TV___________it was very late.a.despiteb.in spite ofc.althoughd.even10."I have a headache.Can you get me an aspirin?""Sure.________get you one right now."a.I'm able tob.I'm goingc.I ought tod.I'll11.It will take you_______three hours to drive to the campsite.a.greatlyb.entirelyc.approximatelyd.annually12.We didn’t get to the meeting on time__________a traffic jam.a.causingb.because ofc.owing tod.due to13.I have to make an_________with my dentist.a.arrangementb.assignmentc.interviewd.appointment14.The sign on the front tells you the________of each bus.a.resortb.destinationc.agencyd.port15.The school must be very old.When was it___________up?a.posedb.evolvedc.setd.founded16.I really like Jan and Dave.They’re very good___________.a.society/doc/b0d94c36ee3a87c24028915f804 d2b160a4e86d6.html panyc.associatesd.friendship17.The letter is okay,but you_________a few words in the last line.a.leftb.omittedc.avoidedd.lost18.I want to move out of the city because I find__________life exhausting.a.ruralb.remotec.urband.country19.She doesn’t talk about her feelings.She’s a very__________person.a.insincereb.passivec.reservedd.upset20.Jim__________his brother to lend him$500.a.imposedb.persuadedc.requiredd.desiredPaper IV:Writing(20minutes20marks)Please write a short paragraph of about150words and tell us what your favorite TV program is,what it is about,and why you enjoy watching it.。

You hear of family members long ago and by hearing about their stories, you can find timeless wisdom that can apply to your own life.I’ll never forget the story my mom told me about Grandma. Grandma cooked for a crew of 24 farmhands so most of her days were taken up cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a bunch of (一群) loud complaining men coming in from hunting or farming. She took care of five children as well so her house was a busy little place, but where you would find Grandma the most would be in front of her stove, stirring (搅拌) a pot of something.The kids would run in and she’d give them a hug and then she’d go back to stirring. The men would come in and clean up all the biscuits and bacon and then she’d start on the next meal, on ce again standing an d stirring at the stove. They’d tell her how wonderful her food was and then pour out their troubles to her as she listened and stirred.One time Ruth watched as the farmhands ate quickly and went back out to work, hearing all of them grumbling about their lives. Then one by one the children came in to tell Grandma their own worries. She would smile, give them some kind of advice, and keep stirring. Ruth watched sitting at the table and when everyone left she said,“ Mother. How can you just sit there and stir? Everyone tells you how bad their life is and you just smile and stir? Why don’t you just tell them that you’ve had enough and you can’t take anymore? Do something … Stop stirring!”Grandma looked up at Ruth and smiled … and kept s tirring.“Ruth, don’t you know that the stirring is very important? You see, when I’m stirring I’m putting all my thoughts and dreams into that pot. As everyone comes in and tells me about their life I put the love and positive thoughts into my pot and stir. Then when they eat it they have been given a pot full o hope. If we have any kind of problems I envision (想象) a solution and put it in my pot and stir. My stirring is what keeps me focused on what is good in the world. So instead of worrying about all that is around me I keep stirring knowingthat all is well.”1.

It is the largest city in Canada, with a population of over 4 million, located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the smallest of the great Lakes. It tends to be hot in the summer with frequent rain storms, and very cold in the winter, with temperatures well below freezing and plenty of snow. But there is always something to do or see, no matter when you visit the city. Listed here are three tours, showing just a few of the of the many things you can do while on h oliday in “Hogtown”!.Tour #1: St. Lawrence MarketThe Market has been in continuous operation at this location since 1803. You can get there by taking the Church Street Bus, or the King street car. It's open Tuesday to Saturday, and is home to 55 market stalls selling everything from meats and fish to baked goods. It's also a great place to pick up a quick bite. On the lower level of the St. Lawrence market there are food stalls where you can choose from a wide variety of Italian, Greek and other ethnic dishes as well as regular North American food. The Market also features the St. Lawrence Farmer's Market with over 49 Ontario farmers every Saturday year round. Also, each Sunday an "Antique" market is held. You can sometimes find something very nice if you get there early.Tour #2: YorkvilleTake the subway and get off at Bay, and you are in Yorkville! Located in the heart of Toronto, Yorkville offers some of the best fashion shopping experiences in town. If famous labels 1 make your heart race, this is the place to go, but make sure you have plenty oftime to shop and lots of money in your wallet. Of course high fashion is not the only attraction here. Yorkville is home to fine restaurants and boutiques, as well as world class galleries to explore. Tour #3: The BeachesThe beaches are a relaxing place close to the city, just east of downtown. To get there take the Queen streetcar or the Woodbine Bus, both of which will drop you off one block from the beach. The beaches are a favorite place to roller blade, bike or just take a relaxing stroll along the boardwalk that extends along the lake. You can also browse the many boutiques and eateries along Queen Street East.

"a quick bite" means (line 11) __________________________________10. "year round" means (line 15) __________________________________Passage 3What is it?The Rio de Janeiro carnival, held annually in the month of February, is a spectacular celebration of life that attracts millions of people onto the streets of the Brazilian city. The whole country stopsto watch, either in the city itself or on the television. It is estimated that each year 700,000 visitors come to watch from all over the world. “Samba” schoo lsThe music played throughout the carnival procession is called the “samba”. Many participants belong to “samba” schools where they learn to dance and play the music which is so popular throughout Brazil. There are about 30 “samba” schools with thousands of members. They perform for four entire nights in a huge arena called the “Sambadrome”. The schools take part in an official competition and the best of them is awarded a prize. Each school is assessed on its costumes, the theme of its performance and the quality of the music. Some “samba” schools hold street parties and perform in their local areas because many people cannot afford to buy a ticket for the official competition.From year to year...Because it is such a huge event, planning for the carnival begins many months in advance. In fact, it is true to say that as soon as one carnival finishes, rehearsals and preparations for the next one begin. Much of this work is done in “Samba City”, which consists of enormous buildings where most of the equipment and costumes are prepared.The stars of the showEach school is led by a queen followed by hundreds of drummers and brightly decorated carnival vehicles. The Carnival Queens are the biggest stars and they are chosen from amongst the most beautiful women in each community. As well as beauty, the queen has to be very fit to lead her group of drummers on the slow procession through thestreets of Rio.“Blocos” parades“Blocos” parades have become an important feature of Rio’s carnival in addition to the “samba” schools. These parades are less formal and include groups of musicians from the same neighborhood who just want to sing, dance and have a good time. Today, they number more than 100 and the groups increase each year. They all dress in costumes or T-shirts with special themes or logos. Before the show they gather in a square, then parade through sections of the city, before performing near to the beach. Some of them have a particular place such as a café where they play and dance to attract spectator s. Questions 1-5: You can cite words from the passage (you may need to modify the words slightly to suit the question) or use your own words to answer each question.1) How often is the Rio carnival held?2) Apart from Brazil, where do the spectators come from?3) What is the “Sambadrome”?4) What are the essential qualities for a Carnival Queen? Give two details.5) Where are you likely to see the “blocos” perform? Give twodetails.Part 3. Grammar (40 Questions, 1 point each)Section 11.
