Question 4 Read the passage and answer the questions that follow: [20]
James was not indifferent to the wishes of his family that he should
get married to a nice girl. Besides, when his uncle departed this life
and bequeathed him a comfortable little legacy, it really seemed the
correct thing to do to set about discovering someone to share it with
him. He thought of Joan Sebastale as the most suitable young
woman to whom he might propose marriage. James walked across
the park towards the Sebastale residence in a positive frame of
mind.
His thoughts were interrupted by a sound of clock striking the half-

hour. Half -past four. A frown of dissatisfaction settled on his face.
He would arrive at the Sebastale mansion just at the hour of
afternoon tea. Joan would be seated at a low table, spread with an
array of silver kettles and cream-jugs and delicate porcelain
teacups. Behind the table, her voice would tinkle pleasantly in a
series of little friendly questions about weak or strong tea; how
much, if any, sugar, milk, cream and so forth: “Is it one lump? I
forgot. You do take milk, don’t you? Would you like some more hot
water, if it’s too strong?” James detested the questioning pattern in
the whole system of the afternoon tea.
Now, as he passed through small streets that led to Joan’s

residence, a horror at the idea of confronting Joan at her tea table
seized on him. But suddenly an idea came to his mind. On one floor
of a narrow little house at the end of the street lived Rhoda Ellam, a
3
remote cousin. James decided to visit her and delay by half-an-hour
the important business of the marriage proposal to Joan.
Rhoda welcomed him to her house. “I’m having a high tea,” she
announced. “Find yourself a cup; the teapot is behind you. Now tell
me about hundreds of things.” She talked amusingly and made her
visitor talk amusingly too. James found that he was enjoying an
excellent tea without having to answer routine questions about the
strength of the tea and amount of sugar in it.
“And now tell me why you have come to see me,” said Rhoda
suddenly.
“There is nothing special,” said James. “I was passing by your house

and I just thought I’d look in and see you. Since I’ve been talking to
you, however, a rather important idea has occurred to me…”
Some forty minutes later James returned to his family, bearing an

important news. “I am engaged to be married,” he announced. On a
September afternoon of the same year, after the James-Rhoda
wedding celebrations had ended, James came in to the drawing-
room of his house. Rhoda was seated at a low table, behind dainty
porcelain cups and gleaming silver. There was a pleasant tinkling
note in her voice as she handed him a cup, saying; “You like it
weaker than that, don’t you? Shall I put some more hot water to it?
No?”
(a) Give the meaning of the following words as used in the [3]
passage. One-word answers or short phrases will be accepted.
(i) bequeathed
(ii) array
(iii) detested

(b) Answer the following questions briefly in your own words.

Question 3 Lisez l’extrait suivant et répondez aux questions qui [10]

suivent sans répéter les mots du texte :
L'Himalaya est un ensemble de montagnes magnifiques.

Mais si l'Himalaya est très connu c'est grâce à une de ses
montagnes, l'Everest. L'Everest est la plus haute montagne
du monde. On lui a donné le nom de 'Toit du Monde'. Tous
les alpinistes rêvent de grimper à son sommet mais très peu
y arrivent.
Temba Tsheri est né au pied de l'énorme montagne. Son

père, comme son grand-père, était 'Sherpas', c'est-à-dire
guides de l'Himalaya pour les alpinistes. Les Sherpas sont
des accompagnateurs précieux pour les alpinistes parce
qu'ils sont habitués à vivre très haut en altitude. Ils peuvent
grimper l'Everest sans bouteilles d'oxygène. Pour gagner leur
vie, les Sherpas guident les alpinistes et portent souvent leurs
bagages pendant la montée.
Mais le rêve de Temba, c'est de devenir le plus jeune

alpiniste à arriver au sommet de l'Everest. Il se met en route
en avril. Il veut arriver au sommet le 18 mai 2000. Mais ce
2
jour-là, alors qu'il est à seulement 20 mètres du sommet, une
terrible tempête se lève. Temba doit abandonner et
redescendre: Un an plus tard, Temba se remet en route.
Cette fois, il emporte des bouteilles d’oxygène pour l’aider à
respirer.
Le 22 mai 2001, il arrive au sommet. Temba a gagné : il est,

de loin, le plus jeune alpiniste à être arrivé sur le ‘Toit du
Monde’. Une vraie aventure, mais le gouvernement népalais
ne veut pas que d’autres adolescents, encore plus jeunes
que Temba, risquent leur vie. Il a interdit aux moins de 16 ans
l’ascension de l’Everest.
(a) Pourquoi les Sherpas sont très importants pour les
alpinistes ? [2]
(b) Qu’est-ce que c’est le rêve de Temba et comment était le
premier trajet de Temba vers son rêve, a-t-il réussi ? [2]
(c) Décrivez le deuxième trajet de Temba vers son rêve, a-t-il
réussi ? [2]
(d) Quelle étape prend-il le gouvernement népalais après le
succès de Temba ? [2]
(e) Qu’est-ce que c’est le toit du monde ? [2]
Question 4 (a) Mettez les verbes entre parenthèses à la forme qui

Amazon's Business Model
Often touted as the largest online retailer in the world, Amazon

operates a business model with many moving parts. First and foremost,
the company sells goods directly. A percentage of products are offered
to buyers through Amazon's online storefront with a small markup, and
inventory is kept in the company's large network of warehouses. Most
consumers visit the company's site assuming its products are less
expensive and readily available for purchase and shipping.
In addition to direct sales, Amazon provides a platform for other

retailers to sell products to buyers. Products sold through Amazon's
partner retailers are often less common items or those with a higher
purchase price, allowing Amazon to avoid holding slow-moving
inventory that could dilute profit. While Amazon does not assess a fee
for its retailer partners to list items for sale, the company does retain a
3
portion of the sales price as commission.
Amazon also maintains a subscription-based business model through

its Amazon Prime service, as well as a small electronics product line.
Under a Prime account, customers pay an annual fee to secure free
two-day or same-day shipping on eligible items and have access to
streaming media, such as digital music or movies. Amazon also
generates revenue from selling its e-reader, the Kindle, and the e-book
and mobile application purchases offered to Kindle owners.
