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 from 39 to 43.
Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone.
The Manhattan High Line is different. Raised 25 feet above the ground, this massive metal
structure once supported a rail line. The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories
and warehouses. It was hardly used after the 1960s, and much of it was torn down. However, one
stretch remained in a region of Manhattan called Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming more and more
upmarket as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly railway structure
remained as a dead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.
But the High Line was not destroyed. In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most
peaceful places in the city. It holds an elevated park, with carefully tended gardens, a promenade

and great views of the city. The idea to convert the rail line into a park came from Joshua David
and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they attended a community meeting to decide the fate of the High
Line. David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical
structure. Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line, they
saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city, and they realised that the
High Line had potential to become a park. There was growing interest in improving urban centers,
and so the project quickly gathered momentum and funds for construction were easily obtained.
The first section of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with
tourists and locals alike. Each part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like
balconies with wonderful city views. Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are densely
planted. Other sections have wide lawns and walkways planted with wild flowers. Only the final
section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years – a railway line overgrown with weeds.

A. The closure of a train line.
B. Improving city transport.
C. Restoring a historical monument.

A. Trains still use the line.
B. It is situated above ground level.
C. Only part of the line remains.

41. What does the phrase “a dead weight” refer to?
A. something with potential to be better.
B. something useless which slows progress.
C. something with historical interest.
D. something which is a danger to people.
42. Why were people easily persuaded by David and Hammond’s idea?
A. They wanted to see the wild flowers too.

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 from 44 to 50.
An engine is a machine that creates mechanical motion from energy. In order to do this, an
engine frequently requires some type of fuel to burn. Nowadays, many engines are used to power
cars and other forms of transportation. These vehicles most commonly have an internal
combustion engine and rely upon gasoline for power. However, there are several types of engines
that can use alternative energy sources. Many people are trying to switch to them because
gasoline, which is a fossil fuel, creates pollution and is also a non-renewable resource Alternative
energy sources, meanwhile, create less pollution and are often renewable sources of energy.
These days, engines that are able to burn biofuels are somewhat common. Biofuels are fuels
that are made from biological material, such as corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. These biofuels
burn cleanly, so they produce much less pollution than fossil fuels. In some countries, such as
Brazil, cars with biofuel engines are standard. In fact, most of the cars in Brazil have engines that
can operate on either gasoline or biofuel.
A second type of alternative engine is the electric engine. Cars with electric engines have
been common for decades. Most are being used in hybrid cars at the moment. These are vehicles
that have both a gasoline-powered engine and an electric one. In many cases, the gasoline-
powered engine is used to operate the car at high speeds on expressways. The electric engine is
utilised for city driving. One benefit of hybrid cars is that as the gasoline-powered engine runs, it
simultaneously recharges the electric engine.
A third type of alternative engine is the hydrogen engine. It utilises hydrogen fuel cells, which
convert hydrogen into electricity that can power the car These days, there are many cars and
buses that rely upon hydrogen engines. However, there are some problems associated with this
type of engine. The hydrogen used in the engine must be processed from other materials, and it is
also difficult to store. As a result, vehicles that run on hydrogen are expensive.

44. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Biofuels: Can They Really Run Car Engines?
B. Cars to Use Internal Combustion Engines
C. New Types of Alternative Energy Engines
D. What Is the Best Type of Vehicle Engine?
45. According to paragraph 1, what is probably true about alternative energy sources?
A. They have only been discovered recently.
B. They are less common than fossil fuels.
C. They cost a great deal to produce.
D. They are rejected by the majority of people.

A. When being driven in the countryside
B. When being driven on city streets
C. When being driven on highways
