FINAL EXAM

I. READING:
A. Read the text. Choose A,B or C: Big Ben

When you visit London, one of the first things you will see is Big Ben, the famous
clock which is more than a hundred years old. If the Houses of Parliament had not been
burnt down in 1834, the great clock would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its name
from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new
Houses Of Parliament were built. Sir Benjamin was a very tall man, and since no one could
think of a name for the high tower, for fun, the clock got the name of Big Ben.
The minute hands on the four faces of the clock are about four metres long. They
jump forward 17 centimetres every half minute. However, Big Ben is not only of immense
size, but is extremely accurate as well. The clock is checked twice every day by Greenwich
Observatory.
One can hear the sound of Big Ben all over the world on the radio. The first
broadcast of this sound was on December 31st, 1923.
Big Ben is hardly ever wrong. Most people in Britain put their watches right at ten
o’clock in the morning when they hear its sound on the radio.

READING COMPREHENSION: Text

Good morning, passengers of flight 17 bound for Caracas with stops in Atlanta
and Miami. The departure gate has been changed to 30 B. Also there will be a
slight departure delay due to bad weather outside. Right now the ground crew is
deicing the wings in preparation for departure. It also looks like the flight is slightly
overbooked so we offer complimentary roundtrip tickets to a few passengers who
are willing to take a later flight. We should be boarding around a quarter to the
hour. Thank you for your patience.
