Read the passage below carefully and choose the best option A, B, C, or D.
The La Tomatina is a festival held on a Wednesday towards the end of August in the town of Buñol in
the Valencia region in Spain. The weeklong festival includes music, parades, dancing, and fireworks.
About 30,000 people come to the tomato fight, while Buñol population is only 9,000. There are not
many accommodations for people who come to La Tomatina, so many participants stay in Valencia and travel
by bus or train to Buñol, about 38 km outside the city.
Many trucks transport tomatoes into the center of tile town, Plaza del Pueblo. The tomatoes come
from Extremadura, where they are less expensive. The signal for the beginning of the fight is firing of the
cannon, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself. People who partake
in this event are strongly encouraged to wear protective safety goggles and gloves. In addition, they must
squash the tomatoes before throwing for safety precautions. Another rule is that no one is allowed to bring
into this fight anything that may lead to a more serious fight, such as a glass bottle. People must also stay away
from trucks and must not tear someone else's clothing. Somewhere between an hour and two hours, the fighting
ends and the cannon is fired once more to signal the end. At this point no more tomatoes can be thrown. The
cleaning process involves the use of fire trucks to spray down the streets, with water provided from a Roman
waterway. People find water to wash themselves, most likely at the Buñol River.

Read the passage below carefully and choose the best option A, B, C, or D.
On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, destroy two million
hectares of land in the U.S. every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of about 20 kilometers an hour and can
last for weeks, consuming everything - trees, brush, homes, and humans - in its path.
There are three conditions for a wildfire to bum: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Fuel includes trees,
grasses, bushes, and even homes. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to bum. Heat sources help start the wildfire.
Although most wildfires are started by people, natural factors like lightning, hot winds, and even tile sun can
all provide enough heat to start a wildfire.
Firefighters fight wildfires by removing the conditions for a wildfire to bum. Traditional methods
include using water and fire retardants to put out the fires. Firefighters also fight wildfires with "controlled
burning". These controlled forest fires remove small trees, bushes, and ground litter from a forest. This will
deprive a wildfire of fuel and prevent future forest fires.
Although often harmful and destructive to humans, wildfires play an important role in nature. Even
healthy forests contain dead trees and decaying plant matter. When a fire turns them to ashes, nutrients return
to the soil. They also remove sick plants and harmful insects from a forest. And by burning through thick
leaves and branches, wildfires allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, making it possible for a new generation
of trees to grow.

A. wildfires B. forests C. ashes D. nutrients

C. They burn a new generation of trees. D. They bum nutrients in file soil to ashes.

Part 2:
I=Interviewer, C=Travel Consultant
I: Now, in your survey of prices around the world, you compare the cost of a short holiday in major cities.
Which city is the most expensive for a tourist to visit?
C: Well, it’s useful to know first that the average cost of a short stay is $460. In London the cost is $670 and
that makes London the most expensive of all the cities in the survey.
I: $670? Yes, that is expensive! Is that because hotels in London cost more than in a lot of other cities?
C: That’s one of the reasons. New York is cheaper than London. The cost there is $510. Paris is more
expensive than New York - $550.
I: So not a very big difference between them, Paris $550 and New York $510?
C: That’s right. Milan is cheaper - the cost there is $470.
I: Which cities are the cheapest for a short stay?
C: Well, prices in cities like Prague and Budapest are lower. In Budapest, for example, the cost is $400 and
in Prague just a little higher, $410.
I: Prague $410 and Budapest $400?
