[AT] Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time. During the Middle Ages, traffic- free
shopping areas known as souks were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in
comfort and safety.
The modern, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both city populations
and car ownership increased rapidly. Dirty exhaust fumes from cars and the risks involved in crossing
the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience. Many believed the
time was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and shopping areas seemed the best place to
start.
At first, there was resistance from shopkeepers. They believed that such a move would be bad for
business. They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars.
However, research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected
statistics. In Munich, Cologne and Hamburg, visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent. On
Copenhagen’s main shopping street, shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25-40 percent.
Shopkeepers in Minneapolis, USA, were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to
pay for the construction and maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.
With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street, many shops, especially those selling things like
clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good news for everyone, as
shops selling furniture and larger electrical appliances actually saw their sales drops.
(Adapted from Complete IELTS Band 4-5 by Rawdon Wyatt)

A. Because they were trying something in order to discover what it is like.
B. Because they were unable to get in their cars.
C. Because they disagreed with an idea and refused to accept it.
D. Because they wanted to experiment with car-free streets.

A. shopkeepers B. cars C. streets D. people

A. Uncovered B. Kept C. Hide D. Met

[BQ] Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Tomatoes are probably the most popular garden vegetable grown in the United States. This can be
attributed to their unique flavor, attractiveness, richness as a source of vitamins C and A, and versatility
as a food. The popularity of peppers as a garden plant can be attributed to the same factors, although
they are usually not consumed in large enough quantities to make them an important nutritional factor
in the diet.
The cultivated tomato originated in the Andes mountains of South America. It are usually not
consumed in large enough quantities to make them an important nutritional factor in the diet. The
cultivated tomato originated in the Andes mountains of South America. It was introduced to other areas
of the world by Indians and European travelers. Its seeds were taken to Europe, where a superstition
soon arose that the tomato stimulated love. Because of this, the tomato was called the "love apple". The
first report of the tomato in North America was in 1710, where it was grown primarily as an
ornamental plant. Early colonists brought the seeds to Virginia and grew tomatoes in flower gardens.
Tomatoes, actually a fruit that is used as a vegetable, began gaining wide acceptance as a food plant in
the United States between 1820 and 1850. Modern plant growers have done much to improve the
tomato and to add to its usefulness. Its productivity has been doubled, and varieties with larger,
smoother, more even shapes and meatier pulps have been developed. The tomato is the leading crop
canned in the Unites States today.
Peppers are also native to America and were grown by American Indian tribes in both North and South
America over 2,000 years ago. The small red hot peppers were discovered by Columbus in the West
Indies and introduced into Europe, where they became popular before gaining widespread acceptance
in the United States. Peppers became one of the first New World foods used commercially in Europe.
Botanists class the fruit of the bush-type garden pepper as a berry. Although most varieties of peppers
produce red fruits (which are green in their immature stage), there are some yellow-fruited varieties,
and peppers are of both mild and pungent types. Peppers enjoy warm climates, and young plants can be
injured by frosts. Seasonings such as paprika and chili powder and food products such as canned
pimentos are commercial uses of garden peppers that are grown in the United States today.
The familiar spice black pepper known in households throughout the world is the product of a trailing
or climbing shrub grown in Indonesia and other hot countries. The islands of Java and Madura furnish
most of the black pepper used in American homes. The United States buys almost 25,000 tons of this
spice annually.
