Section 2 Audio script: The city of Cambridge is a university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It lies in East Anglia about 50 miles (80 km) north-by-east of London. Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology centre known as Silicon Fen a play on Silicon Valley and the fens surrounding the city. Cambridge is well known as the home of the University of Cambridge. The university includes the renowned Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The Cambridge skyline is dominated by the last two buildings, along with the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital in the far south of the city and St John's College Chapel tower in the north. According to the United Kingdom Census 2001, the city's population was 108,863 (including 22,153 students), and the population of the urban area (which includes parts of the neighbouring South Cambridgeshire district) is estimated to be 130,000. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the size of the city was greatly increased by several large council estates planned to hold London overspill. The biggest impact has been on the area north of the river, which are now the estates of Arbury, East Chesterton and King's Hedges, and there are many smaller estates to the south of the city. In 1962 Cambridge's first shopping arcade, Bradwell's Court, opened on Drummer Street, though this was demolished in 2006. Other shopping arcades followed at Lion Yard, which housed a relocated Central Library for the city, and the Grafton Centre which replaced Victorian housing stock which had fallen into disrepair in the Kite area of the city. Both of these projects met strong opposition at the time. The city gained its second University in 1992 when Anglia Polytechnic became Anglia Polytechnic University. Renamed Anglia Ruskin University in 2005, the institution has its origins in the Cambridge School of Art opened in 1858 by John Ruskin. The Open University also has a presence in the city, with an office operating on Hills Road. Despite having a university, Cambridge was not granted its city charter until 1951. Cambridge does not have a cathedral, traditionally a prerequisite for city status, instead falling within the Church of England Diocese of Ely. Many of the buildings in the centre are colleges affiliated to the University of Cambridge, including King's College and Magdalene College. Colleges such as Trinity College and St John's College own significant land both in Cambridge and outside: Trinity is the landlord for the Cambridge Science Park, and also the port of Felixstowe; St John's is the landlord of St John's Innovation Centre next door to the Science Park, and many other buildings in the city centre. Cambridge City Council plans to renew the area around the Corn Exchange concert hall, and plans for a permanent ice-skating rink are being considered after the success of a temporary one that has been on Parker's Piece every year for the past few years. New housing and developments have continued

through the 21st century, with estates such as the CB1 and Accordia schemes near the station, and developments such as Clayfarm and Trumpington Meadows planned for the south of the city.

Section 4 Audio script: Passengers aboard a Qantas Airways superjumbo forced to make an emergency landing in Singapore today spoke of their horror as they heard a loud bang and watched pieces of engine fall from the plane soon after it took off for Sydney. The Australian airline immediately grounded all six of its Airbus A380 aircraft the world's biggest passenger jet after the incident, in which all 433 passengers and 26 crew emerged unharmed. Officials from Singapore Airlines also announced that it would delay all flights of its Airbus A380 fleet. The flight, which originated in London, experienced engine problems over western Indonesia at about 10am local time, before making an emergency landing at Singapore's Changi airport almost two hours after it took off. Qantas's chief executive, Alan Joyce, said a "significant engine failure" had occurred. "We do take our safety reputation and our standards unbelievably seriously," he told a news conference. "And we're not going to take any risks with passenger safety. As a precaution, we're suspending flights of the A380 aircraft until we're comfortable that we understand the reasons for this. "This issue, an engine failure, has been one that we haven't seen before. So we are obviously taking it very seriously, because it is a significant engine failure." Pieces of debris thought to have come from the aircraft were found on the Indonesian island of Batam, according to local reports. Passengers recalled

the moment one of the plane's four Rolls-Royce engines exploded. "I was on the plane right next to engine two, which exploded with a loud bang within the first 10-15 minutes of takeoff," Lars Sandberg, a DJ who was due to tour Australia, told the BBC. "I thought something had fallen down in cargo underneath the plane, but the plane started shaking I'm a little bit shaken up. I travel a lot and this is the first big scare I've had." Sandberg said the captain had kept passengers updated throughout the plane's return to Singapore. "[He] did a good job in reassuring us, making announcements every few minutes. I'm just happy to be alive and back in the terminal building." Another passenger, Tyler Wooster, said the explosion sounded "like a shotgun going off". "Part of the skin had peeled off and you could see the foam underneath, pieces of broken wires sticking out," he told Australia's Network Nine television. "My whole body just went to jelly and I didn't know what was going to happen as we were going down, if we were going to be OK." Transport officials in Singapore quickly ruled out a link between the incident and volcanic ash spewing from Mount Merapi, which has erupted several times in recent days. "The shutdown of the Qantas engine had no connection with Mount Merapi," Bambang Ervan, a transport ministry spokesman, said. "It was too far from the volcano. The sky over Singapore and Sumatra island is free of dust." A spokesman for Rolls-Royce said an investigation was under way: "The investigation is at an early stage. We are aware of the situation and are working with our client." Fill in the gaps to complete the statements.
