Dear Students;

Today: I'd like to give you some practice in. Paper IF in order to fami- liarize you rselves with the nature and types of questions set and the examinat tion techniques involved. Here is a test paper which has been set exactly in accordance with the style and fomat of the latest Certificate of Education Examinations, Suggested answers are provided at the end of this column.

...

(E). What can be done tô heip trees survive? In the case of Britain; since 1919 we have had a Forestry Commission which has a programme of tree.planting. Every tree " we cut down must be rev placed. It takes a few minutes to cut down a tree but it will be another fifteen to twenty years before the cycle of replacement is complete. Using land to the best advantage is a very important part of re-afforestation. A tree can often grow. very well in places where the soil is not good for growing food crops. Trees protect what soil.there is in rocky eroded areas. Theirs roots stop. the soil from being washed away and. the foliage provides a natural umbrella,

(F) Trees are being planted along our roads to help blend with their surround.. ings. The plan is to plant woodland trees. that are typical of the countryside through which the roads pass. A tree' can do wonders for an ugly place. Slag. heaps and disused industrial sites can be cleared and planted with trees, convert-

Read this passage arid then answer ques ing eye-sores into beauty spots.. tions 1 and 2

(A) Trees. How would we manage with out them? They are the natural habitat of birds, animals and insects. They are the source of material for everything: from our houses to our books. They protect the sol and smaller plants from the wind and rain. Trees give us food and shelter' and make the earth a more beautiful place to live in, But how do we look after the trees in return? If. we and generations to come are to go on enjoying. trees, the planting of new. trees and the proper maintenance. and preservation of mature ones must be a continuous process. Trees naturally cover a large part of the earth. Why should a tree need our help and protec tion?

|

(G) The protection of woodland in- cludes the control of animals who may harm. the trees and the prevention of. fofeat fires.h

Finding the causes and cures of tice diseases is a vital part of the programme. Vandalism in parks has been countered: with some success by planting bigger trees - about.15 feet high - rather thai. smaller trees which can easily be squashed by a showoff.

1.

(B) Man is almost entirely to blame for the destruction of trees. By the begin- ning of the 20th century most of the forests. and woodlands in Britain had disappeared. They were cut down to clear tand for agriculture, industry, living space and for the networks of --roads coùnecting cities and factories; 2.

Woodland was also dug up for mining. Millions of trees have been felled every. year to provide materials for paper, the construction of buildings and ships, for: furnitire and fuel. The trees we've used: have not been replaced,

(C) Pointless destruction of trees is another threat. How many times have you: noticed a young tree in a public park lying broken on the ground? This. kind.of vandalism is committed by people who have not been taught to respect trees and their value to our environment.

(D) Trees are also harmed by natural hazards: heavy rain, wind and snow. Parasitical plants and insects sometimes destroy the bark of trees or eat away.

Read the passage given above and then::

(a) List 9 ways(each on a separate: line) by which trees can be of value to man, Each answer should not contain more than SIX words. and need, not be a complete. sentence. Any answer containing more than: SIX words will receive NO MARKS.

(b) Explain in not more than 50. words how trees can be protec- ted...

(iv) characteristic (F)

(b) Name three expressions from paragraph (E) which indicate time.

(c) Havirig: read paragraph (c) we can say that trees are being (1) by people who do not (ii) (Do not use more than TWO words for each answer)

*(d) What effect do parasitical plants.

and insects have on trees?

*(c) In paragraph (D), why does the writer mention the word 'culprits"?

(f) Choose from paragraph (F)two things which are considered by the writer to be very ugly things to look at.

What is the disadvantage of planting "small trees in the paiks?

*(h) If you were 'a tree-lower, how would you react to this passage? In ONE sentence, state your 'reaction and give a reason for.

and people of the area?

Suggested Answers: a. Reasons for the

Location of the High Island Reservoir

|relief, the sea inlet

between the High Island and the main land has narrow.constructions on both sides, making the construction cost lower. as only two short dans are needed to link the island and mainland. Moreover, being located in the east of Hong Kong the area can receive more rainfall and is one of the wettest areas. For human factors, this area is relatively sparsely. populated, thus. the: construction of reservoir, which may probably result in the flooding of Tandy) may cause disturbance to fewer people, which means lower compensation Cost

b. Effects on the land

and people

The construction of the reservoir has the effect of inundating existing farmlands and houses, Many villages need to be resettled. Fishermen have to sail for a longer distance:

since the sea inlet/

which was originally a water-way, would be. obstructed. The building of roads, tunnels and pumping stations also affect farning, Müch agricultural land will be lost.

lowever, the construction works may. provide alternative employment to the people and the construction of permanent roads, IT linking. thc

to the urban areas. In the near future after the completion of the reservoiry the catcument: area will be afforested and become a park, and thie

reservoir will become

a recreational area. This will in most cases bring. an increase in prosperity through a breakdown in' the traditional Chinese
