GETTING TO THE ROOT OF BONSAI CRIME

Bonsai trees have always been a source of great fascination to people. They are perfect
miniatures, grown in pots small enough to sit on a windowsill. You have to keep reminding yourself that
these frees are actually real and identical to their larger cousins in all (31).........except their size. Rather
like other small and perfectly-formed artifacts, bonsai trees command quite a high price in the
marketplace and so it doesn't come as a great surprise to find that they also (32).........the attention of
thieves. It seems that quite a flourishing business has evolved, in which they are stolen from the homes
of growers and collectors, then repotted and trimmed by unscrupulous dealers, to be sold on, at good
prices, to (33).........buyers.
 

One of Britain's top collectors of bonsai trees, Paul Widdington, believes that he has found a
solution, however. After losing his life's work, valued at £250,000, when burglars broke into his home one night, Paul decided to (34).........the possibilities of electronically tagging the trees he bought as a
replacement. This involves injecting a microchip the size of a grain of rice into the trunk of each tree.
Each chip is a laser-etched with information which is stored in a central register held by the police. Paul is quite aware that this kind of data-tagging doesn't (35).........thieves from stealing the trees in the first
place, although it may increase the chances of getting them back. So he's also installing a security alarm system complete with infra-red detectors, in his home.
 

Read the following passage and mark the letter A. B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 36 to 42.
 

In ancient Greece, athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations.
The Olympic athletic festival, held every four years in honour of Zeus, eventually lost its local character,
became first a national event, and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished,
international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date
from 776 B.C.

The Games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators
gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves,
women and dishonoured people were not allowed to compete. Records show that the evening of the
third day was devoted to sacrificial offerings to the heroes of the day, and the fourth day, that of the full
moon, was set aside as a holy day. On the sixth and last day all the victors were crowned with holy
garlands of wild olive from a sacred wood. So great was the honour that the winner of the foot race gave
his name to the year of his victory. How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately
had no means of telling.
 

After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, the Games were abolished in A.D. 394
because of their pagan origin. It was a great many years before there was another such international
athletic gathering. The Greek institution was brought back into existence in 1896 and the first small
meeting took place in Athens. After the 1908 London Olympics, success was re-established and nations
sent their best representatives.
 

Today, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities,
including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own
athletes' expenses. Athletic contests are still the main feature, but now many more sports are
represented, women compete, the ancient pentathlon, for example, has been modified into a more
comprehensive test, and the marathonraces, initiated in 1896, are now a celebrated event.
 

The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the
sun's rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolizes the
continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing
ceremony.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 43 to 50.
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but
in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood.
 

The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax
forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of
fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but
wood was still extremely abundant.
 

The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a
foundation of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree
unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the
source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of
gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
 

The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that
time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was
unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron
production was encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in
industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
 

Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The advantages of using wood in the colonies.
B. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies.

D. They covered the entire continent.
 

Question 46: The word “abundant” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to..............
A. redundant

B. sufficient

C. insufficient

D. plentiful
 

Question 47: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern
cities..............
A. rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce.
B. was much higher than it was in Britain.
C. was slightly higher than in previous years.
D. decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood.

passage?
A. They were more expensive than American houses.
B. They were generally built with imported materials.
C. They were typically smaller than homes in North America.
