Questions 25-30
Complete the summary below.
Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.
Looking for Asian honey bees
Birds called Rainbow Bee Eaters eat only 25 , and cough up small bits of skeleton and other products in
a pellet.
Researchers go to the locations the bee eaters like to use for 26
They collect the pellets and take them to a 27 for analysis.
Here 28 is used to soften them, and the researchers look for the
29 of Asian bees in the pellets.
The benefit of this research is that the result is more 30 than searching for live Asian bees.

V. Identify 10 mistakes in this passage and suggest corrections.
Over the last century the world has become increasingly smaller. Notgeographically, of course, but in the sense
that media, technology and the opening of borders has enabled the world’s citizens to view, share and gain access to
a much wider range of cultures, societies and world viewpoints. It stands to reasons that in order to absorb, configure
and finally form opinions about this information-laden planet, children must be supplied with certain tools. Including in
this list of “tools” are: education, social skills, cultural awareness and the acquisition of languages, the most important
of these being the later. Until recently, a child who had the ability to speak more than one language would have been
considered a very rare entity. This one-language phenomenon could be contributed to a combination of factors, in
which the monolingual environment in which a child was raised played a strong role, so did the.limited, biased
education of the past.
Nowadays, the situation has undergone an almost opposite reversal. In the majority of North American and
European countries, most of children are given the opportunity to learn a second or even third language. In some
cases, learning a foreign language is a compulsory subject in the state school syllabus while in others, children are
born into bilingual parents, who may teach the children two languages. Bringing up one’s child bilingually is not a
decision to be taken slightly. Both parents must consider long and hard the implications involved in raising a child in
two-language home.
A.READINGCOMPREHENSION
I.Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
Whether it’s the melodic sound of an Eric Claptonsoloor the growl of a heavy metal band ,the electric guitar has
influenced popular music and culture more than any other instrument.
Rock ’s greatest musician shaveal ways been close lyidentified with their guitars. But the instruments being designed for
tomorrow ’s pop stars may look and sound rather different from today’s familiar electric and acoustic guitars.
It is only sixty years since the electric guitar was invented. Since then there have been incredible changes to the
technical design of the instrument.From what was once arounded wooden box with a hole in the front, the guitar has
evolved into the smooth solid body of the rock guitarist’s “axe”. The most modern guitar sare really computer-
controlled synthesizers.
Adolph Ricken backer’s Electro String Company produced the first world’s First Electric Guitar. It was made of wood
and play edontheuser’slap. The first real breakthroug hinde sign came in 1950 when Leo Fender ,a California radio
repairman,made the first solid-bodied electric guitar, the Fender Telecaster. So on after the inventor Les Paul made
the famous Gibson Les Paul ,Fender launched his stylish Strato caster two years later. These guitars became
standard instruments against which newer guitar designs are measured.
Allsortsof different material shave been used to make guitars. Acoustic guitars are made from wood, which gives a soft
tone. Wood is also a popular material inelectric guitar manufacture, but more modern material such as glass and
carbon fibre are also used.There a veal so been guitars with metal bodies and necks though these were never popular
with players, who claim metal feels coldin the hand.
Plastics, on the other hand,have been more used in guitar bodies.A company that makes parts for the aerospace
industry has begun to use a kind of fiber glass that was originally used in helicopter blades to make the bodies for its
electric- acoustic instruments. Other makers have begun to experiment with graphite,which is ten times stiffer than
wood but much lighter. It doesn’t expand or contact as the temperature or humidity changes either. This makes it
particularly suitable for guitar neck sand for tennis rackets, for which it is also used.
As long as scientists and musicians work together harmoniously, the electric guitar will continue to benefit from
technological innovations. But for all the efforts of the guitar companies’design engineers, managers and quality
controllers, it’ s the musicians who finally make the instruments sing–and not necessarily in the way the guitar make
rintended.
