EX: Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

For many of us, food isn't that important. However, for a few people, food is very improtant. For these people, meals are a kind of art.

These people are interested in something called "haute cuisine" . Haute cuisine is French for "high cooking" . You can usually find haute cuisine in fancy French hotels anh high level restaurants.

Haute cuisine has changed over the years, but the most important parst have remained the same. Haute cuisine meals are almost always very complicated, and they take a very long time to make. Usually, an haute cuisine meal has very many small dishes, instead of a few large ones. Also, with haute cuisine dishes, the appearance is very important. Of course, an haute cuisine dish must taste wonderful, but that is not enough. An haute cuisine dish must also look beautiful. Another very important part of haute cuisine is wine. Chefs and customers always try to select a wine that is a perfect match for their meal. The wine that people drink with haute cuisine is often very rare. You will not be surprised to hear that haute cuisine dishes are almost always very expensive.

Haute cuisine is traditionally French, but other countries have similar concepts of food. People often compare Japanese kaiseki to haute cuisine. Kaiseki is another very complicated, very high level kind of food. In Japan, kaiseki is also considered a kind of art. When Japanese chefs prepare kaiseki, they don't just consider the taste of the food. They also consider the food's texture, colour, and appearance. Chefs even match the colour of the food to the colour of the plate and the chopsticks. Of course, although haute cuisine and kaiseki share many similarities, the food itself is quite different.

If you ever get the chance to try kaiseki or haute cuisine , remember one thing: You are not just having a meal, you are enjoying a very special kind of art.

Part IV. Read the passage below, then choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each of the following questions (7 points)

Basketball

Although he created the game of basketball at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, Dr James A. Naismith was a Canadian. Working as a physical education instructor at the International YMCA, now Springfield college, Dr Naismith noticed a lack of interest in exercise among students during the wintertime. The New England winters were fierce, and the students balked at participating in outdoor activities. Naismith determined that a fast-moving game that could be played indoors would fill a void after the baseball and football seasons had ended.

First he attempted to adapt outdoor games such as soccer and rugby to indoor play, but he soon found them unsuitable for confined areas. Finally, he determined that he would have to invent a game.

In December of 1891, Dr Naismith hung two old peach baskets at either end of the gymnasium at the school, and using a soccer ball and all nine players on each side, organised the first basketball game. The early rules allowed three points for each basket and made running with the ball a violation. Every time a goal was made, someone had to climb a ladder to retrieve the ball.

Nevertheless, the game became popular. In less than a year, basketball was being played in both the United States and Canada. Five years later, a championship tournament was staged in New York City, which was won by the Brooklyn Central YMCA.

The teams had already been reduced to seven players, and five became standard in the 1897 season. When basketball was introduced as a demonstration sport in the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, it quickly spread throughout the world. In 1906, a metal hoop was used for the first time to replace the basket, but the name basketball has remained.

Passage 1:

New Orleans, in Louisiana, is known as the most unique city in the United States with distinctive architecture, cross-cultural heritage and annual music festivals.

However, due to its location along the Mississippi River with lakes on the other side, and nearly half of the city below sea level, the city faces the danger of flooding. So, a levee system and drainage canals were built to protect the city.

Early in the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina, the most destructive natural disaster in the history of New Orleans, struck the city. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rains for several days. As a result, water from the river and lakes rose, breaking the levees and poured directly into the city. Soon 80 percent of the city was under the water. People scrambled to rooftops for safety, desperate for food and drinking water. The winds were so strong that even beds in Hyatt Hotel were seen flying out of the hotel windows. The loss was tremendous. Most of the major roads and bridges were destroyed, and houses collapsed. Nearly 2,000 people were killed. After the storm, several natural grounds for the breeding and migrating of different species of animals and birds were permanently lost.

Passage 2:

How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain areas. They happen in places where pieces of the earth’s surface meet. For example, earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.

Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden drop of water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snake leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely.

After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water and medical supplies. The amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depend on types of building, soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes on the earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.

Question 1: Earthquakes happen in certain areas where _______________.

A. the population is large B. pieces of the earth’s surface meet

C. the soil conditions are stable D. many buildings are built

Question 2: Earthquakes often happen along ________________.

A. the east-coast of North America B. the east-coast of South America

C. the Pacific coast of Asia D. the coast of Australia

Question 3: Looking for ____________ can help predict earthquakes.

A. changes in the earth’s surface B. water beneath the earth’s surface

C. drops of water D. water currents

Question 4: After an earthquake, as a result of _________ people may die.

A. lack of food B. lack of friendship
