I. Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each
question.
Copenhagen
In spite of being the capital of one of Europe’s smallest countries, the clean and friendly
city of Copenhagen offers a host of cultural and sightseeing opportunities. With a vast

number of pedestrianised streets, the best way to sightsee is by foot, or you may prefer a
leisurely canal cruise past the colorful waterfront houses.
Sights not be missed include Rosenborg Castle which houses the Crown Jewels,
Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid and the famous Tivoli Gardens with a myriad of
restaurants and bars, concert halls and a fairground offering something for everyone. Also
worth a visit is the Viking Museum and for something different why not tour the Carlsberg
Brewery. Shoppers will enjoy the fine shops of the Stroget and don’t forget the side-streets
leading from it. After sunset, head for Nyhavn quayside.
“A rarity among capital cities - it does not overwhelm you, but rather takes you gently in
and shows you its sights with quiet pride. The Little Mermaid is smaller than you imagined

Tivoli.” - John Carter.

People have been hunting whales for at least a thousand years, and there were no real problems until 20th
century. What happened was that fishing technology became much more efficient and the ships were much faster,
so more and more whales were caught. In the 1960s the main whaling countries were killing more than sixty
thousand whales a year, and everyone began to realize that something had to be done.
It was environmental groups like Greenpeace that really made things change. They set out to make people
aware of the fact that whales were fast becoming extinct. But even now we don’t know if all this interest has
become too late. Let’s take the great blue whale for example, which at thirty to forty metres long is the biggest
animal there has ever been – now there are perhaps about two thousand or so left. In fact they have been
protected for quite a long time, but there is no sign that the population is growing.
34. How long have people been hunting whales?
A. since the 1960s.

causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations. The most effective thing is

GERMANY 4 -2 COSTA RICA
Host Germany opened the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals with a 4-2 win over Group A
rivals Costa Rica in Munich on Friday, 9 June 2006. An exciting Opening Match
produced three goals inside the first 17 minutes as Philipp Lahm fired Germany in front


on six minutes, Paulo Wanchope drew the Ticos level six minutes later and then Miroslav
Klose restored the host’s lead.
Klose, celebrating his 28th birthday, made it 3–1 after 61 minutes and although

Wanchope narrowed the deficit with his second goal on 73 minutes, Jurgen Klinsmann’s
men secured the three points through Torsten Frings’ spectacular drive three minutes
