00 the British, there is one exception to the rule that ‘homes’ are more important 21

‘houses’. This is the aristocracy. Many of these families 22

fine old country houses, often with a great deal of land attached, in 23

they have lived for hundreds of years.

They have great emotional 24

with their houses – and are prepared to try very hard to stay in them. This can be very difficult in modern times 25

death duties. These are very high taxes which the new 26

of a large property has to pay. So, in order to stay there, many aristocrats live lives which are 27

physically comfortable than those of most people, because they may not have central heating, for example.

Many aristocrats have also turned their houses and land into tourist attractions. These are 28

not only with foreign tourists: British visitors are also happy 29

walk around in rural 30

as they can inspect a part of their country’s history.

Paris is extremely proud 00 the fact it was the first capital to introduce a city-wide free bicycle scheme. Known 31

Vélib’, a combination of the words vélo (bike) and liberté (freedom), it 32

introduced in 2007 by Socialist mayor Bertrand Delanoë. Now approaching retirement, Delanoë considers 33

as one of the great triumphs of his term in office.

By 2012, when Vélib’ was celebrating its fifth anniversary, 34

were around 23,000 of the heavy grey bicycles in circulation, 35

than double the number when the cycle scheme was launched. There are now 1,700 bicycle “stations” – 1,400 of 36

in Paris itself and 300 in surrounding towns. In 2007, there were just 750. Since 2007, the capital city 37

installed 652 km of cycle routes for the 224,000 Parisians 38

have signed up to Vélib’, a figure that will soon rise to 700 km.

As there are more cyclists around, other road users 39

become more used to them and are giving them “greater respect”. The current rules of the road 40

posted on each Vélib’ bike.

I remember that I was excited. It was my first time in Italy. I was on my way to see all those beautiful things such as historical sites, beaches and traditional restaurants. First, I stopped for a night in Turin. I was pleased to have some rest and watch the television alone. 41

This was day one and I only thought about what was going to happen.

I wished I was already in Rome. Then I was. I walked all day to visit a lot of monuments. Of course I sometimes stopped to eat pasta, pizza and ice cream. 42

I improved my dining experience by asking waiters about the typical dishes. Understanding how Italians traditionally eat helped me get the most out of my journey.

I also remember the impressive Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City. About 25,000 people a day visit the chapel and its paintings cover 1,110 square metres. Soon afterwards, I was relaxing like thousands of other people in front of the “Fontana di Trevi”. I walked through lots of squares like the “Piazza Navona” where plenty of artists were performing. 43

I definitely appreciated the atmosphere of joy and happiness.

After three great days, I moved to the South. 44

All of us were very excited when I arrived. Even though I had enough time to spend with them, I was in a rush because there were so many things to say. The atmosphere was really warm and welcoming. 45

I can’t tell you the whole story of my journey, but I can say that what I enjoyed most was speaking Italian and eating traditional specialities like “panzerotti”. Actually my uncle had a pizzeria so he was able to give me some fine examples. 46

I also visited great places there that I was so glad to see. 47

Part 2: The Sinking of the Lusitania (6 points)

Prečítajte si nasledujúci text o potopení britskej lode Lusitania v prvej svetovej vojne. Rozhodnite o každom z tvrdení 48 – 53, či je pravdivé (A) alebo nepravdivé (B). Uveďte vždy aj označenie toho odseku (a) – (e), na základe ktorého ste rozhodli o pravdivosti alebo nepravdivosti daného tvrdenia. Vždy existuje iba jedno správne riešenie.

Svoje odpovede vyznačte na odpoveďovom hárku označenom piktogramom "X".

(A)

The Lusitania was a British cargo and passenger ship that was torpedoed and sunk due to German submarine activity in May 1915, less than ten years after she began her trans-Atlantic journeys. The Lusitania’s construction began in September 1904, and she went to sea approximately two years later on June 7, 1906. She was used to ferry goods and people between England and the United States. The Lusitania was very popular because of her speed and luxurious accommodation. The Sinking of the Lusitania. She was a British cargo and passenger ship.

(B)

The Lusitania crossed the Atlantic peacefully many times over the years, but as German submarines took a leading role in the seas during World War I, her situation became rather risky and dangerous. The Lusitania was thought to be unsinkable because of her reserve speed capabilities (which would enable her to flee under attack). Because of this over-confidence she set out from New York on May 1, 1915, to deliver food and passengers to England in spite of the risk of an attack by German submarines.

(C)

Six days later, on May 7, 1915, the Lusitania was too slow to notice both the periscope and the torpedo of a German submarine to escape her fate. She was hit hard and the sound was described by passengers as “like thunder”. When the torpedo exploded, water rushed into the first and second boiler rooms and caused the boat to shake from side to side. She then rose a little before a second massive explosion took her down into the sea.

(D)

The exact cause of the second explosion is a point of argument. The Lusitania shows evidence that she may have been torpedoed a second time – but the second, more destructive, explosion possibly came from inside the ship. The reason behind this speculation is that the Lusitania’s cargo can be called into question. She had originally said she would take, along with her passengers, platinum and diamonds, but these things were never found. It is believed that she was carrying a lot of rifle ammunition instead.

(E)

Whether the torpedoes completed the destruction of the ship by their own power or they were helped by ammunition explosions, the German submarine attack devastated the Lusitania. The ship sank within twenty minutes and took with her 1,201 people – and left only 764 to be saved by those who responded to her SOS. As the Lusitania was never officially in government service, the United States believed the attack on her “was contrary to international law and the conventions of all civilized nations”.

48.) The Lusitaniaʼs crew saw the danger to the ship almost immediately.

(A)

true

(B)

false
