Edmund Hillary and the porter, Tenzing Norgay, got the glory for conquering Everest, but it was John Hunt who made their success possible. John Hunt was an excellent manager and paid great attention to detail. For instance, he specified that each box of rations contained 29 tins of sardines. His strategy, which was soon to become standard in mountaineering, called for an army of climbers, especially porters who would methodically move up the mountain, carrying supplies to ever higher camps. Hunt gave the human element systematic attention as well. Everest demands an “unusual degree of selflessness and patience”, he later wrote. “Failure, whether moral or physical, by even one or two people would add immensely to its difficulties.” The desire to reach the top, he added, “must be both individual and collective.” That last point was important: the goal of this huge effort was to deliver just two climbers to the summit.
It is clear from the passage that John Hunt —-.
? regarded the conquest of Everest as a team success
? was a good mountaineer, but not a good organizer
? was involved in several disputes with various team members
? was largely concerned with the training of the porters
? wanted to get to the top of Everest himself

As we understand from the passage, the success of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay —-.
? gave rise to a lot of talk about how selfish they both were and how undeserving of the fame they achieved
? added to the fame that Hunt already enjoyed
? depended, to a very large extent, on the preparations planned and carried out by John Hunt

? turned mountaineering into a fashionable sport worldwide

Certain records have come to light recently, which suggest that it was the Chinese who discovered America. And they found it nearly three quarters of a century before Columbus did. It’s a sad fact of life, and of our rather poor historical education, that Europeans tend to have a Eurocentric view of history. Unfortunately, it’s not usually realized that China had an empire and a civilization that put medieval Europe to shame. Culturally, politically and even scientifically, China’s home-grown experiments and experiences could not be matched for a long time. In the meantime, the Chinese were enthusiastic travellers and explorers. Indeed, Chinese navigators were also far more advanced than any in the West.
It is clear from the passage that, in the Middle Ages, —-.

The primitive story-teller, free from all considerations of form, simply told a tale. “Once upon a time”, he began, and proceeded to narrate the story to his listeners, describing the characters when necessary, telling what they thought and felt as well as what they did, and adding comments and ideas of his own. The modern fiction writer is artistically more selfconscious. He realizes that there are many ways of telling a story; he decides upon a method before he begins, and may even set up rules for himself. Instead of telling the story himself, he may let one of his characters tell it for him; he may tell it by means of letters or diaries; he may confine himself to recording the thoughts of just one of his characters.
We understand from the passage that the modern fiction writer —-.
? is often criticized for writing in a self-conscious manner
? never makes use of either letters or diaries in his novels
? differs from the primitive storyteller because of his methods of narration
? admires the narrative techniques of primitive story-tellers
? uses even fewer narrative techniques than the primitive story-tellers did
The primitive story-teller, free from all considerations of form, simply told a tale. “Once upon a time”, he began, and proceeded to narrate the story to his listeners, describing the characters when necessary, telling what they thought and felt as well as what they did, and adding comments and ideas of his own.

Instead of telling the story himself, he may let one of his characters tell it for him; he may tell it by means of letters or diaries; he may confine himself to recording the thoughts of just one of his characters.
It is clear that the writer of the passage —-.
? is interested in the various writing techniques of modern authors
? knows a lot more about primitive story-telling than about modern fiction
? feels strongly that modern writers have suddenly become too interested in the techniques of writing
? finds the primitive story-teller very uninteresting
? would very much like to be a novelist himself

Instead of telling the story himself, he may let one of his characters tell it for him; he may tell it by means of letters or diaries; he may confine himself to recording the thoughts of just one of his characters.
One important point made in the passage is that a modern writer, before he starts to write, —-.
? often decides exactly how he is going to tell his story
? must make himself familiar with the period he is writing about
? chooses the main characters for his story
? rarely thinks about the background of his story
? must decide which character can best tell the story

A play is written to be performed. Therefore, when you read a play, you must try to imagine how it would appear and sound to an audience. By using your imagination, you can build a theatre in your mind. Because a play is written to be performed, it uses certain conventions you do not encounter in short stories. It contains stage directions that tell the actors how to speak and how to move upon the stage. Most of the story is presented through dialogue, the words the characters speak. In addition it is divided into short units of action called “scenes” and larger ones called “acts”.

? we need to know a lot about the conventions of play-writing
? we should try to imagine it being performed
? the division into acts can be ignored
? it is best to ignore the stage directions
? we should try to focus on the story

While it was still quite a distance away, a sharp-eyed boy spotted it and, since he knew, just as every child on the island knew, every sail of the forty boats of the island fishing fleet, he ran down the street calling out, “A foreign boat, a foreign boat!” The lonely island was rarely visited by a foreign boat, so, by the time the boat had arrived half the village was there to greet it. Fishermen were following it homewards, and those who happened to be inland, were climbing up and down the rocky hills, and hurrying towards the harbour.
Clearly, the island described in the passage —-.
