Reading comprehension (30 points)Passage A(4 points each,20 points in total)Read the article and then judge whether the statements followed arc true (T) or false (F)? Write T or F at the corresponding place on the answer sheet.Its a typical Saturday afternoon on Cathedral Square in Peterborough in the east of England. Two noisy gangs of young people are sitting in the centre of the square. One group are wearing tracksuits and baseball caps and brand-new white trainers. A lot of them are4 F q cwearing jewellery like gold chains and earrings. Theyre the Chavs. Opposite them are the Goths. Theyre wearing black Doctor Marten boots, long black coats and black T-shirts with the names of their favorite bands on them. Some of them are wearing lipstick and eyeliner and a few of them have piercings. Nervous shoppers hurry past them, trying not to make eye contact. It seems to be quiet but you feel that at any moment a fight could start. The police say these young people are probably harmlessperhaps they just hang around the square because theres nothing better to do. But older people say they are tired of putting up with the noise and litter. These kinds of problems certainly arent unique to Peterborough. But after trying several different methods, Peterborough City Council has a radical plan to change things.The councils controversial plan to bring peace to the city starts on a Tuesday morning during the half-term holiday. A group of fourteen Chavs and Goths of both sexes are travelling by bus to a secret location in the countryside, ten miles out of town. There are more Chavs than Gothsmaybe its hard for some Goths to get up in the mornings! When they finally arrive, supervisors ask them to put on camouflage clothing. And then the two gangs spend the rest of the morning pretending to shoot at each other.Dont worrythe guns are not real (they fire plastic balls filled with paint) and its all for fun. But isnt it dangerous to fight aggression with aggression? Is a game of paintball really the best way to bring young people together? Steve Mayes, the organizer of the event, feels that it is. He thinks these controversial games give the two groups something to do and can start them talking. It gets rid of a lot of energy tooits much better than playing games on Playstations and Xboxes, he says. Meanwhile, the Chavs and Goths are fooling around: theres a lot of shouting and laughter and everyone appears to be having fun.At the end of the day Steve Mayes believes the event was a successthe two groups are already talking to each other. Its like football, says Denise, another organizer. You choose which team you belong to. But at the encl of the day. Chavs and Goths are the same sort of people.16. The scenes that are described in the first paragraph dont happen very often.17. The shoppers in Peterborough are afraid to look at the young people in the square.18. The police dont think the young people are dangerous.19. Peterborough isnt the only place where you can find such problems.20. Only boys are taking part in the councils events.Passage B(2 points each, 10 points in total)Read the article and match paragraph AE with what the writer tries to tell the readers (21 25) in each paragraph.囚 Edinburgh is a beautiful historic city which is situated on the river Forth on the eastcoast of Scotland. Although its the capital city, it isnt very big: it has only about half amillion inhabitants.回 1 really love the old town which goes from the Castle to Holy rood Palace. There arelots of amazing old buildings there. But my favourite place is the Royal Park. Its a hugepark with an ancient volcano called Arthurs Seat. From the top there is an incredible viewof the river and the surrounding countryside.【c】 The only thing I dont like is the weather. Its always windy here even when itssunny. There are some really nice beaches nearby but its too cold to go swimming.【d】 You cant get bored in Edinburgh. There are lots of things to do especially inAugust.
