A Although there aren't many historic sites to attract tourists,
this is a fascinating city. It's a major business centre, and its port
is one of the busiest in the world. A construction boom that
began in the early 1990s means there are now a large number
of high-rise buildings. In January 2004, an exciting new
transport link went into service -'maglev' trains (using
magnetic levitation technology) run between the city centre
and the international airport, reaching a speed of 430km per
hour. A traditional garden in the Old City contains a teahouse
that may be the model for the well-known 'willow pattern'
design, which is used on plates around the world.
B This city was probably founded in the 16th century and is
laid out in a grid - that is, most of its streets are straight,
like lines drawn on a sheet of paper from top to bottom and
from side to side. One very impressive avenue is 140m across
and is said to be the widest in the world. The main
government building is called la Casa Rosada, which is
Spanish for 'the Pink House'. One of the main attractions for
tourists is watching - or even dancing - the tango. The
hottest months of the year are January and February.
3 The passage contains four paragraphs labelled A-D. Which paragraph
contains the following information? You may use any letter more than
once. --- TF7
C
C This city was founded in the early 18th century to increase
trade by sea with western Europe. A lot of canals were
excavated, which made it resemble the city of Venice. As a
result, this city is often called 'the Venice of the North'. Between
1712 and 1918, it was the country's capital. Although its name
was changed to Petrograd and Leningrad in the past, it is again
known by its original name. One of the famous attractions in this
city is the Hermitage, an art gallery largely located in the Winter
Palace. It contains an amazing collection of paintings.
EXAMPLE: a similarity between this city and another one.
1 a description of how roads are arranged
2 the possibility that famous representations may be of a building in
this city.
3 a reference to activities that no longer take place in a certain
building.
4 the reason for establishing this city.
5 a potential disadvantage for the tourist industry
6 a reference to a name that has come back into use..........

D This ancient, historic city is over 2,600 years old. It was first
called Byzantium and then Constantinople before adopting its
present name. It's on both sides of a narrow stretch of water
separating the two continents of Europe and Asia. There's plenty
to interest and amuse tourists, so they need never get bored!
Topkapi, the magnificent palace, used to have over 50,000
people living and working in its grounds, and even had its own
zoo. Another impressive building is the Grand Bazaar, the largest
indoor market in the country, with more than 3,000 shops and
restaurants. It used to be the commercial centre of the city and
is usually crowded with both tourists and local people.
