One of the most delightful places in China is a small island called Gulangyu. It is often called "piano island" because of the large number of (1. MUSIC) who live there. But perhaps Gulangyu's greatest appeal is that although it has 20,000 permanent (2. RESIDE) mostly living in the centre community one kilometer wide, there are no high-rise buildings and motor vehicles and bicycles are banned. Personal (3. BELONG) are carried, or pushed on small wagons.

While Gulangyu is a popular day trip for people from the neighbouring island of Xiamen, it seems a relatively (4. DISCOVER) _________ destination for visitors from else where in China or further afield. One reason why Gulangyu has not been besieged by Chinese visitors is its (5. GEOGRAPHY) location. Several mountain ranges on mainland China mean that road and rail (6. CONNECT) from the prosperous cities to its east and south are very slow. Air travel, via Xiamen airport, is a possibility, but it is too expensive for the majority of visitors.

There are certainly enough attractions for those tourists who do arrive, including parks, an aquarium, and souvenir shops. There are also some excellent restaurants, though they may charge (7. CONSIDER) more than those found in other, less (8. PICTURE) parts of the country. However, one key tourist business that is not much in (9. EVIDENT) is hostels – there are only a (10. HAND) in the centre of the island.

Section 3. The passage below contains five mistakes in five different lines. Write down the line numbers, the corresponding mistakes, and correct them.

It seems that the mystery of why the Pyramids were built may have solved. Until quite recently people got used to think that they were just tombs for pharaohs. Instead, the connection with astronomy seems much more important. Egyptologists have often asked themselves how long it spent to build them and why people built them in the first place. Experts came up with a suggestion that the Egyptians may have believed that the River Nile was the earthly equivalent of the Milky Way. Many agree that the size of the three Giza Pyramids are in proportion to the three stars of Orion. Nothing, then, was by the chance. Rather, the souls of dead pharaohs were deliberately being projected through shafts to reach their goal of the Orion constellation.

PART D. READING

Section 1. Read the following extract and choose the option (A, B, C or D) which best answers each of the following questions.

The term "folk song" has been current for over a hundred years, but there is still a good deal of disagreement as to what it actually means. The definition provided by the International Folk Music Council states that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on from person to person by being listened to rather than learned from the printed page. Other factors that help shape a folk song include: continuity (many performances over a number of years); variation (changes in words and melodies either through artistic interpretation or failure of memory); and selection (the acceptance of a song by the community in which it evolves).

When songs have been subjected to these processes their origin is usually impossible to trace. For instance, if a farm laborer were to make up a song and sing it to a couple of friends who like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves one of them might forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gap, while the other, perhaps more artistic, might add a few decorative touches to the tune and improve a couple of lines of text. If this happened a few times, there would be many different versions, the song's original composer would be forgotten, and the song would become common property. This constant reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music. Consequently, modern popular songs and other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not professional musicians, are not considered folk music.

The music and words have been set by a printed or recorded source, limiting scope for further artistic creation. These songs' origins cannot be disguised and therefore they belong primarily to the composer and not to a community.

The ideal situation for the creation of folk music is an isolated rural community. In such a setting folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every stage in a person's life, from childhood to death. Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs relating to calendar events, and occupational songs are also likely to be sung.
