Today’s symphony orchestra has its roots in 17th century bands. The earliest orchestras, usually attached to a church, or a theatre, varied in structure from place to place. They were often directed from the keyboard or by the principal violinist. During the 18th century, as popular works such as those by Haydn and Mozart began to be played all over Europe, some standardization of the orchestra became necessary. A string section comprising violins, violas, cellos, and double basses was usually joined by two horns, two flutes, two trumpets, and timpani. The clarinet became a standard member of the orchestra only at the end of the 18th century. The 19th century saw the rise of public concerts in large halls, which necessitated louder instruments and larger orchestras. As a result, instruments changed. They were redesigned and adapted to enable them to project further. Larger and smaller versions of some instruments, such as the piccolo, cor anglais, and bass clarinet, were featured more frequently. Some new instruments were also added, with trombones and later, tubas becoming standard members of the orchestra.

According to the passage, the first orchestras ......

A
did not all have a consistent structure
B
were able to perform only in churches and theatres
C
used the same instruments as modern orchestras do today
D
reached their audiences with louder instruments in larger halls
E
had almost the same structural system with each other

It was a road that kicked off the pattern of destruction in the Amazon forest. During the 1970s, Brazil began building the Trans-Amazonian Highway from near the country’s easternmost point to its western border, where the state of Amazonas meets Peru. The route opened up the heart of the Amazon to settlement, causing deforestation rates to increase. During the 1990s and early 2000s, more than 25,000 square kilometres of rainforest per year were cleared out. Throughout these years, roads have provided the means to penetrate the forest and eliminate large chunks of it. In an unpublished study of the Brazilian Amazon, researcher Christopher Barber found that 95% of deforestation in the region occurs within 7 kilometres of a road. Once construction begins, road crews are quickly followed by land speculators, loggers, farmers, ranchers, gold miners and others who carve away the forest along the route. This creates great treeless expanses in the landscape, but research is now showing that the building of roads also triggers environmental changes in the remaining forest that can dry out trees, set the stage for wildfires, and weaken the ecosystem.

Which of the following can be said about the Amazon forest?

A
The rainforest has been suffering from a pattern of destruction in a scale it had not experienced before the 1970s
B
From the 1990s onwards, 25,000 square kilometres were being cut down every year to make way for the new highway
C
Deforestation has not only affected Brazil’s eastern and western borders, but it has also started to spread through other countries
D
The state of Brazil had to build roads through it for the people who were settled in the forest
E
Although it damaged the forest, the new highway enabled the people of Amazonas to better travel to Peru

Which of the following best describes the relationship between road construction and deforestation?

A
Since the road crews work with a lot of parties to carve away the forest, deforestation along the route is not affected at all.
B
According to research on the Brazilian Amazon, a very large percentage of deforestation is a direct consequence of building the Trans-Amazonian Highway
C
Contrary to previous beliefs, research is now showing that road crews also set fires and dry out the trees during construction work
D
The highway and its branching roads were built to provide the necessary means of penetrating the forest to erase the traces of deforestation
E
Although trees were cut down for the highway resulting in treeless landscapes, this was limited to an area of within 7 kilometres of a road
