=================================== End-of-Second Semester English Language Test 2005/2006 Grade: 10th Grade Time : 1 hour and 30 minutes ================================= Note: This exam carries 80 points and comprises 5 sections (Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Functions, Structures, Writing) ============================== Part I Reading Comprehension Read the following text carefully, then answer the questions that follow in the space provided. Scotland: a land of contrasts Scotland provides excellent opportunities to enjoy wild and great scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest. It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life, a good mix of hotels and places to eat and drink. Friendly and welcoming, it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination, where landscapes and the environment, sport and leisure pursuits, heritage and history, culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience. The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is this: it is one of the last places inside the crowded and busy European Union where it is possible to be alone in the countryside. This is not to say that Scotland, like everywhere else, does not have its tourist traps, its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots. But it is relatively easy to escape from them. It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England. Indeed, no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots. They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years, and many differences, such as old language (although English is the official language), persist between the two countries. Scotland's history, as can be seen in its castles, battlefields, and ancient links with France, Holland and Scandinavia, is special. 1.

( 2 points) ------------------------------------------------------- b) Why do people in Scotland think they are different from the English?
