Read the passage then choose the best answer to each question that follows. Identify your answer
by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government
train carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a
snowstorm and had to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become
of his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and
healthy. How had they survived?
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their
haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the
eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew
well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for
winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed
by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless.
Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible
for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They

had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses.
Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to
drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not
juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be
cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they
remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for
themselves thrived on this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after
year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of
winter and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a
barn cured the cultivated grasses.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 11 to 15.
The most usual way to entertain friends at home is to invite them for a meal, either in the
evening or at lunchtime on a Sunday. In smaller communities, for example a country village,
people also invite each other for a drink before a meal, for morning coffee or afternoon tea.
When guests are invited for a meal, they often sit and chat while they have a drink before
the meal, and coffee is usually served afterwards. Several friends are sometimes invited at once to
make a small party. These parties are almost always informal. Formal occasions, when written
invitations are sent out and people dress formally, rarely take place in people's homes, although
they did in the past.
Larger parties are arranged to celebrate a particular event. Children's birthdays are often
celebrated with a tea party for the child's friends. The meal will often be followed by party games.

Parties are held to celebrate a person's coming of age (formerly at 21 but now at 18), a couple's
silver wedding anniversary (after 25 years of marriage), a couple's engagement and New Year's
Eve. In the USA a person's 40th birthday is often marked with a special celebration. A
housewarming party is sometimes held to invite friends to one's new home.
In summer, if the weather is fine, people may hold a barbecue in the garden. A much
grander, more formal occasion is a garden party, held in the afternoon, when tea is served.
