PART IV- READING: I- Read this passage carefully and then choose the best answer to the questions below. (10 PTS) In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow twisting roads with many shops huddling together along the two sides. These commercial places are not as modern and convenient as those called shopping centres in modern cities, especially in the suburbs of the big cities in the United States. Shopping centres have developed rapidly because of the shift of the population to the suburbs, the growing use of and dependence upon the automobile and the heavy traffic in downtown areas. A shopping centre is a large group of stores facing a huge central enclosed mall which may be covered, heated and air-conditioned. A shopping centre is also surrounded by a parking area with space for thousands of cars. We can buy all kinds of food and get anything we need in a shopping centre. Unlike a supermarket, where groceries are chiefly sold, a shopping centre provides us with all services besides food. We can get our hair cut, eyes examined, clothes washed; we can book our tickets for a world tour and even enroll in special classes. Shopping centres are, therefore, very convenient for customers, but they lack the “sense of closeness” as felt in older commercial centres. 1. The rapid development of shopping centres is mainly due to _____ A. the fast- growing prosperity of suburban people. B. the increased use of automobile. C. the growing use of heavy cars in big cities. D. the shift of the population to downtown areas. 2. A shopping centre is a large group of stores facing a huge central mall which is _____ A. narrow and winding. B. very crowded with automobiles. C. used as a store- house for heaters and conditioners. D. shaded and comfortable. 3. American shopping centres are especially established in the suburbs because _____ A. the customers want to avoid the heavy traffic in downtown areas. B. the traffic is heavier in the suburbs than in downtown areas. C. there are few people moving from the downtown areas to the neighboring regions. D. the streets in the downtown areas are so narrow and twisting. 4. Customers can’t find the “sense of closeness” in a modern shopping centre because _____ A. all the items in the stores are very expensive. B. the shop keepers are not very cordial. C. it is too modern and conventional. D. they worry too much about the safety of their cars. 5. In the shopping sections of many old cities in Europe, the stores are located _____ A. in the suburbs. B. in the residential areas. C. along poor, dirty roads. D. along small, winding streets. II- Read the passage and circle the best option A, B, C or D to complete the passage.
