The mystery of the Sphinx

One of the world’s most studied  monuments is the Sphinx,  1)              the Great

Pyramid, sixteen kilometers from Cairo in Egypt. Carved in ancient times out of a single piece of limestone over sixty metres long and twenty metres high, it weighs hundreds of tons. This extraordinary monument consists solely of  the  head  of  a man and the body of a crouching lion, a combination 2)             strength and wisdom.

Over the years, some of its facial features have sustained damage.

The smile, 3)………. mysterious, is in fact the result of erosion rather than design, and the nose, which has long since been broken away, was probably the

unfortunate victim of invading soldiers’ target practice. At one time there was a

serpent on its forehead and a royal beard, a fragment 4)………. in a museum.

But who built this monument 5)………. guarding significant places, is not

speculated that it belonged to a much older civilization, 6)………. a legendary flood

7)………. everything in the world over 7,000 years ago. They have tried to

demonstrate that the weathering of the Sphinx was caused by water rather than

wind and sand, and one has even suggested 8)………. on a much older site about

I. Look at the sentences below about Ben Nevis, a mountain in Scotland.

If it is correct, mark A on your answer sheet. If it is not correct, mark B on your answer sheet.

CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF BRITAIN

Each year thousands of people climb Ben Nevis in Scotland, and because of its northerly location, the climate can be bitterly cold. Climber Keith Hewitt describes his first time on Ben Nevis.

“It was February, my first big winter climb. Our route was up the north face of the mountain to Tower Ridge. It’s six hundred metres up - probably the longest climb in Britain. We planned to camp for three days in the ‘Corries’, which are like big bowls cut into the walls of the mountain half-way up.

We were carrying tents, sleeping bags, and metal spikes for our boots - you’d have trouble on Ben Nevis without them because you get snow so hard it’s like walking on ice. Even though some of the group were very experienced, we packed all kinds of safety equipment, including lights for attracting attention, hard hats and extra clothing. Although the weather forecast was perfect, with no strong winds, there was still a general feeling of nervousness when we set out. Ben Nevis in winter is always a challenge.

The track soon climbed and my legs felt heavy. Being the weakest member of the group, I had to rest more frequently. The others sometimes stopped for a break to let me catch up, but as soon as I reached them they set off again. I promised myself that in future I would always train properly before a climb.

After 200 metres, we reached the beginning of Tower Ridge, the route that would take us to the top of Ben Nevis. It’s only a metre and a half wide and the mountain drops away hundreds of metres on each side. We knew we had to keep calm and concentrate on every step as we moved slowly along it.

After seven hours of climbing, we reached the top. On a clear day, you can see the sea and right across it to the island of Skye, 48 kilometres away. However, we weren’t so lucky, as a mist had come down.

On Ben Nevis, getting back down to camp can be as much of a challenge as going up. You need to be able to read a map properly - a wrong turn could lead to slopes too dangerous to go down in winter. I was glad we had decided to take it in turns to do that job. That first time, it was only when I was safe in the tent that I could say l really enjoyed the experience. But at least I made it to the top.”

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

One condition of this job is that you must be _______ to work at weekends. 

A. available 

B. capable

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time

Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing simple things.

First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.

Second, we need to watch the amount of water used at home. It can be conserved by taking short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.

Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and reusing.

If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.
