III. Circle best option A, B, C or D to answer following questions (0.2 x 5 = 1.0pt)
The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come and go and each one was
completely different. If I hadn't been born and raised in the country, I would have never been
able to tell the difference - now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the
same vegetables all the year round! Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain
times of the year - for example strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my
childhood with the seasons.
Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything
was fresh - so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people
may think people in the country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my
opinion they miss a lot more than them - they miss real life.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Comparison between life on a farm and that in the city.
B. Food in the country in comparison to that in the city.
C. Seasons in the country.
D. The author's childhood.

II. Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first one,
using the word given in brackets. Do not change the words in any way. (0.2 x 5 =1.0 pt)
1. I haven’t eaten the food like this before (TIME)
This is the ……………………………………………….this sort of food.
2. Harry’s house is still in Spain, isn’t it? (LIVES)
Harry still………………………………………….,…………….he?
3. You can borrow my bike if you are in a hurry (MIND)
I…………………………………………………you my bike if you are in a hurry
4. The film I saw last week was better than this one (GOOD)
The film…………………………………………the one I saw last week.
5. I don’t normally go to the countryside. (USED)
I………………………………………… to the countryside.
