What do snowboarding, skydiving, bungee jumping, downhill mountain biking, and hang
gliding have in common? They are all considered “extreme” sports because they involve some
degree of danger, and lots of excitement. Many people choose these alternative sports over
traditional options like soccer or tennis.
Extreme sports give people a strong sense of risk, thrill, and excitement. They are physically
demanding, and they often involve speed and height. One reason many people participating in
extreme sports is because of the “adrenaline rush” they get. Another reason is because they like a
challenge. People who choose extreme sports want to experience something very different from
daily life.
Many parents feel that some of these sports create the perfect opportunity to teach children
about safety, self-confidence and endurance, while engaging in new physical activities.
Undoubtedly, fear is a special component of these cool sports that attract young and mature
audiences alike. Even though they may be dangerous, extreme sports are popular with people in
many parts of the world. Some people like to participate in these sports, while others just like to
watch them. However, according to experts, with the development of appropriate equipment
that enables us to do sports safely, risk of injury can be reduced.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
 Some cities are located by chance. A wagon breaks down, the driver spends some time in
repairs, finds that he is in a congenial spot, and settles down. Later another person builds a house
near his, and later someone adds an inn. Someone else starts selling farm produce there. Soon
there is a little market, which grows to a town, and later to a city.
Other places were destined by nature to become cities. London, for example, is on what is
called the head of navigation - the point where it becomes too difficult for ocean-going ships to
continue upriver, and must transfer their cargoes. As with London, the head of navigation is also
the point where the river can be conveniently bridged. In fact, the location of a bridge is often the
reason for the birth of a town - as Cambridge or Weybridge in England show. Again, a good
harbor will generally lead to a city growing up about it. New York and San Francisco began life
as ports, as did Cape Town in South Africa.
Some places were created mainly for military purposes, such as Milan, and the host of
English cities finishing with -cester, which derives from ‘castra’ which means ‘camp’ in Latin.
Chester itself, created to guard the Welsh border, is a very good example. Other such military
bases are Manchester, Doncaster, and of course, Newcastle.
A few cities are not created by accident, but by intention. This was the case with Milton
Keynes in England, but the most famous examples of such cities are capitals. Brasilia, Canberra
and Washington are capitals created in modern times, but even their greatest admirers will admit
that they lack a certain character. It is no co-incidence that there are famous pop songs about
New York, ("New York, New York") Chicago ("My kind of Town") San Francisco ("Going to
San Francisco") and many other US cities, but none about the nation's capital. On the other hand
any Londoner can give you at least three songs about the place.
Question 36: What can be inferred from the word “Chester”?
A. It has an Italian root B. It has a Latin American root
C. It has a Latin root D. It has a Roman root
Question 37: What does London owe its origin to?

Question 38: The word “derives” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. flows B. brings C. comes D. benefits
Question 39: What does the word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to?

Question 40: Which of the following is NOT given as a reason for a new city?
A. Random events B. Wars C. Trade D. Politics
Question 41: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Reasons behind the Creation of Some City Sites
B. Famous Cities and Urban Life - Natural Destiny
C. Original Locations of Cities Need Variation
D. Foundation of Some Capital Cities – A Purposeful Action
