Fish farming is only one of the many recent experiments man has begun in the endless battle to feed himself.

He looked on his pond as a fishing hole (24) his friends. One morning he awoke to find its surface covered with dead fish. They had died quite naturally – from suffocation. Commercially (25)... fresh-water fish need just that — and plenty of it. A good stream feeding the pond is one way to (26)... that fish will stay healthy. Not only does it supply life-giving oxygen, it also helps to clear away the fish’s own (27) matter. With the oceans being overfished in recent decades, fish farming may soon take over there too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Package holidays, covering a two weeks’ stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing – you name it – it’s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the world go by.

28. When you go on a package holiday, you don’t have to

A. arrange anything yourself

B. pay for any extra activities

C. follow the tour schedules

D. travel in an organised group

29. People going on package holidays .

A. are unable to amuse themselves

B. expect to be amused by tour operators

C. find most of their interests catered for

D. are able to make friends with lots of local people

30. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. You are constantly on the move when you are on a coach tour.

B. A coach tour is always exhausting.

C. You don’t get enough sleep on a coach tour.

D. You get no chance to visit historic buildings in famous cities on a coach tour.

31. “Time is always at your elbow.” This means

A. you can take your time visiting a place

B. you have to spend a lot of time visiting a place

C. your time is always limited when visiting a place

D. there is always no time for you to visit any place

32. In spite of its disadvantages, spending a holiday with a group is good particularly for

A. schoolboys and schoolgirls
