PART II READING COMPREHENSION

[45 MIN]

SECTION A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

In this section there are three passages followed by fourteen multiple

choice questions. For each multiple choice question, there are four suggested

answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer

and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

PASSAGE ONE

(1) It?s 7 pm on a balmy Saturday night in June, and I have just ordered

my first beer in I Cervejaria, a restaurant in Zambujeira do Mar, one of the

prettiest villages on Portugal?s south-west coast. The place is empty, but

this doesn?t surprise me at all. I have spent two weeks in this area, driving

along empty roads, playing with my son on empty beaches, and staying in B&Bs

where we are the only guests.

(2) No doubt the restaurant, run by two brothers for the past 28 years, is

buzzing in July and August, when Portuguese holidaymakers descend on the

Alentejo coast. But for the other 10 months of the year, the trickle of diners

who come to feast on fantastically fresh seafood reflects the general pace of

life in the Alentejo: sleepy, bordering on comatose.

(3) One of the poorest, least-developed, least-populated regions in

western Europe, the Alentejo has been dubbed both the Provence and the Tuscany

of Portugal. Neither is accurate. Its scenery is not as pretty and, apart from

in the capital Evora, its food isn?t as sophisticated. The charms of this land

of wheat fields, cork oak forests, wildflower meadows and tiny white-washed

villages, are more subtle than in France or Italy?s poster regions.

(4) To travel here is to step back in time 40 or 50 years. Life rolls

along at a treacly pace; there?s an unnerving stillness to the landscape. But

that stillness ends abruptly at the Atlantic Ocean, where there is drama in

spades. Protected by the South West Alentejo and Costa Vicentina national park,

the 100 km of coastline from Porto Covo in the Alentejo to Burgau in the

Algarve is the most stunning in Europe. And yet few people seem to know about

it. Walkers come to admire the views from the Fisherman?s Way, surfers to ride

the best waves in Europe, but day after day we had spectacular beaches to

ourselves.

(5) The lack of awareness is partly a matter of accessibility (these

beaches are a good two hours? drive from either Faro or Lisbon airports) and

partly to do with a lack of beachside accommodation. There are some gorgeous,

independent guesthouses in this area, but they are hidden in valleys or at the

end of dirt tracks.

(6) Our base was a beautiful 600-acre estate of uncultivated land covered

in rock-rose, eucalyptus and wild flowers 13km inland from Zambujeira. Our

one-bedroom home, Azenha, was once home to the miller who tended the now-restored watermill next to it. A kilometre away from the main house, pool and

restaurant, it is gloriously isolated.

(7) Stepping out of the house in the morning to greet our neighbours �C

wild horses on one side, donkeys on the other �C with nothing but birdsong

filling the air, I felt a sense of adventure you normally only get with wild

camping.

(8) “When people first arrive, they feel a little anxious wondering what

they are going to do the whole time,” Sarah Gredley, the English owner of

estate, told me. “But it doesn?t usually take them long to realise that the

whole point of being here is to slow down, to enjoy nature.”

(9) We followed her advice, walking down to the stream in search of

terrapins and otters, or through clusters of cork oak trees. On some days, we

tramped uphill to the windmill, now a romantic house for two, for panoramic

views across the estate and beyond.

(10) When we ventured out, we were always drawn back to the coast �C the

gentle sands and shallow bay of Farol beach. At the end of the day, we would

head, sandy-footed, to the nearest restaurant, knowing that at every one there

would be a cabinet full of fresh seafood to choose from �C bass, salmon,

lobster, prawns, crabs, goose barnacles, clams … We never ate the same thing

twice.

(11) A kilometre or so from I Cervejaria, on Zambujeira?s idyllic natural

harbour is O Sacas, originally built to feed the fishermen but now popular

with everyone. After scarfing platefuls of seafood on the terrace, we wandered

down to the harbour where two fishermen, in wetsuits, were setting out by boat

across the clear turquoise water to collect goose barnacles. Other than them,

the place was deserted �C just another empty beauty spot where I wondered for

the hundredth time that week how this pristine stretch of coast has remained

so undiscovered.

11. The first part of Para. 4 refers to the fact that ______.

A. life there is quiet and slow B. the place is little known C. the place

is least populated D. there are stunning views

12. “The lack of awareness” in Para. 5 refers to ______.

A. different holidaying preferences B. difficulty of finding accommodation

C. little knowledge of the beauty of the beach D. long distance from the

airports

13. The author uses “gloriously” in Para. 6 to ______.

A. describe the scenery outside the house B. show appreciation of the

surroundings C. contrast greenery with isolation D. praise the region?s unique

feature

14. The sentence “We never ate the same thing twice” in Para. 10

reflects the ______ of the

seafood there. A. freshness B. delicacy C. taste D. variety

15. Which of the following themes is repeated in both Paras. 1 and 11?

A. Publicity. B. Landscape. C. Seafood. D. Accommodation.

PASSAGE TWO

(1) I can still remember the faces when I suggested a method of dealing

with what most teachers of English considered one of their pet horrors,

extended reading. The room was full of tired teachers, and many were quite

cynical about the offer to work together to create a new and dynamic approach

to the place of stories in the classroom.

(2) They had seen promises come and go and mere words weren't going to

convince them, which was a shame as it was mere words that we were principally

dealing with. Most teachers were unimpressed by the extended reading challenge

from the Ministry, and their lack of
