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

instruments in orchestras was limited | |
were only led by keyboards and principal violinists | |
required more members and instruments modified to
project sound further | |
changed a lot due to the different religious and cultural
demands of the leaders at that time | |

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 In an unpublished study of the Brazilian Amazon, researcher Christopher Barber found that 95% of deforestation in the region occurs within 7 kilometres of a road.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?
The rainforest has been suffering from a pattern of
destruction in a scale it had not experienced before
the 1970s | |
From the 1990s onwards, 25,000 square kilometres
were being cut down every year to make way for the
new highway | |
Deforestation has not only affected Brazil’s eastern
and western borders, but it has also started to spread
through other countries | |
The state of Brazil had to build roads through it for the
people who were settled in the forest | |
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?
Since the road crews work with a lot of parties to carve
away the forest, deforestation along the route is not
affected at all. | |
According to research on the Brazilian Amazon, a very
large percentage of deforestation is a direct
consequence of building the Trans-Amazonian
Highway | |
Contrary to previous beliefs, research is now showing
that road crews also set fires and dry out the trees
during construction work | |
The highway and its branching roads were built to
provide the necessary means of penetrating the forest
to erase the traces of deforestation | |
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 |

One can conclude from the passage that the author mainly ---
underlines the reasons why the Brazilian Amazon
suffers more than the other parts of the fores | |
informs the reader on the effects building a road
through the forest has on the local ecosystem | |
tries to point that the environmental effects of building
roads are confused with the ones caused by humans | |
wants to warn the Brazillian state against the future
consequences of their project of Trans-Amazonian
Highway | |
criticises people contributing to the deforestation
process with their work |

Journalist: Experts warn that food industries are being threatened by a growing resistance to antibiotics.
Researcher: Yes, it's becoming more serious day by day. A UK government report states that by 2050, antimicrobial resistance will cost more money than the current size of the world's economy, leading to catastrophes in food production.
Journalist: ----
Researcher: For example, if you buy a farmed salmon today, chances are it will have eaten a greater weight of antibiotics during its life than its own body weight.
Journalist: So, we can say that farming practices are perfect for boosting antimicrobial resistance.
What else does the report warn us about? | |
Can you tell us how antimicrobial resistance affects
food? | |
We know that farmers rely heavily on antibiotics.
What is the reason behind their practices? | |

the problem? | |

The coffee tree is an evergreen. It grows in about 70 countries that offer suitable climates and altitudes. ---- They are picked from the tree during harvest – they contain two seeds, which after processing become coffee beans. The main commercially grown coffee tree species are Arabica and Robusta. While Robustas are high-yielding and resistant to pests and diseases, producing coffee cherries with rustic flavour, Arabicas are generally superior in flavour
The trees are cultivated with care, and grow for about
3-5 years before they flower and produce fruit, known
as coffee cherries | |
As botanists discover new species with interesting
flavours, the family tree of coffee continues to grow | |
Many coffee varieties are genetically similar, but have
acquired different regional or local names | |
The look and flavour of coffee are influenced by many
forces, such as soil, sun exposure and rainfall
patterns | |
The movement of hot and cold air influences how the
coffee cherries mature and taste |
