Pause 00°20”. Part Two Part 2 Exercise 1 Question 7 Listen to the following interview about tigers in India, and then fill in the details below. You will hear the interview twice. Good evening and welcome to “On the trail of the Tiger”, our special nature programme about this endangered species. Soumitra Raj, you're going to tell us about tigers in India and about how we can see them in their natural habitat... Yes. India has always had a strong association with animals and tigers feature strongly in its history and culture. Recently the association “Project Tiger” was formed, to try and protect this beautiful animal from extinction... Is that true, are they really a threatened species? Yes, they're dying out as a result of hunting and irresponsible destruction of their habitat by humans. Originally tigers were to be found in much of central and southern Asia but now their numbers and locations are much fewer. Could you tell us about tigers themselves? Well, as you probably know, they’re the largest of the cat family. They can grow to 3.6m long — that's pretty big —with a tail length of nearly a metre. Fully grown tigers can weigh as much as 300kg.The tiger’s coat is a yellowy-orange with black stripes and Indian Tigers tend to be darker in colour than the paler Siberian Tiger. Do they live in groups? No, tigers are solitary animals. They live on their own and mark the edge of their territory with scent and scrape marks. Then they roar to keep other tigers away — you can hear the roars up to 3 km away, you know. And their prey? They come out at night to hunt for wild boar, deer and other forest animals… So can we go and see tigers without disturbing them? Oh yes, most parks and sanctuaries throughout India are now well set up for visitors and can provide everything from accommodation and trained guides to restaurants... When's the best time of year to do this? The best time to visit is between October and April. You could go to Ranthambhore National Park, for example. This park was originally a fort and now has a special area designated for

vi v2. Vi VI CONFIDENTIAL 0510/04 NO2 “Project Tiger” where a safe natural habitat is provided. The centre of the park is ringed by two mountain ranges which form the perfect surroundings for the tigers which live and hunt in the low hills and valleys. Often you would have to wait a while to actually see a tiger though... With a guide? Oh yes, of course.. The guides know where to look for the tigers — if you spot a group of deer at the water’s edge for example, a guide would know that this would be a prime prey target for a hungry tiger.** Pause 00°30” Now you will hear the interview again.

CONFIDENTIAL 0510/04 NO2 VI Part 2 Exercise 2 Question 8 vi Listen to the following interview about the recent navigation of the North West Passage, a route across the top of North America, and then fill in the details. You will hear the interview twice. *V1 After 400 years of trying, an ice-free route has been found across the top of North America! Captain Burton piloted the ship called the St Roch II on its voyage through this short cut. Captain, surely ice has always been the problem on this route? v2 Yes, but where was the ice during our journey? We travelled almost 1,600 km from the Beaufort Sea which is to the North west of Alaska, through the Westem arctic to Greenland — that is we sailed from West to East around the very top of the world. We sailed through open water — we didn’t get stuck in any ice. vi. So what are the implications of your journey? v2. Since 1576 explorers have been trying to find a short cut to China across the top of Alaska. Well for trade this would be a wonderful route. A normal route from the Netherlands to Japan for example, would be 10,000 km - our route would cut thousands of kilometres off the journey. Really our Arctic Circle short cut has raised hopes of exploiting the commercial potential of this far north coast. Do you know it took us less than a month to complete our voyage through these normally frozen waters.! v1 Where was the ice then? v2 Going back to your question about the implications of the voyage, we're actually very worried that we saw no ice. Vi. Why? Oh, global warming perhaps? v2 Yes. Some ecologists say the fact that the Arctic passage was ice-free as we sailed through it is a result of the world warming up and the ice-caps melting. It could just be climate change though — or perhaps we were just lucky. Until other boats try this route we won’t know. Certainly scientists have recorded the reduction in the ice-caps as 6% since 1980 — that's a lot! v1 Is your route to be used by shipping at once? v2 Oh no. There are still two places along the route — one off Alaska and another further on — where the opening and closing of the “ice-gates” depends on the wind — not just global warming. We were definitely lucky at both these places! Vi. Before you go, tell us about your boat. Is it huge and well-equipped? v2. No. It’s a small police boat, just a patrol boat really . But our journey was inspired by and based upon an expedition made in 1944 by the St. Roch 1 and that boat was made of wood. That journey- with the mission of supplying very remote outposts- lasted 27 months … Vi Captain Burton, many congratulations on your successful, pioneering journey.**

In a moment you will hear Part Three. Now look at the questions for Part Three, Exercise 1. Pause 00’40” Part Three. Part Three : Exercise One: Question 9 Listen to the following interview about a famous cycle race in France then answer the questions below. You will hear the interview twice. Good evening and welcome to “Sports Report”. Tonight we welcome Alain Muller, an experienced “Tour de France” cyclist who's going to tell us about this famous race. Alain, is the “Tour de France” a new cycle race? No, it was started 99 years ago in 1903. The idea was that the race would cover much of the French countryside — nearly 4,000 km in fact —beginning in the West and working anti-clockwise around the country, ending in Paris. It was planned to last a total of 5 weeks in the summer months. Only 15 people entered for this first race, so eventually the time schedule was cut to 19 days and a large list of competitors was very soon compiled. Nearly 4,000km…you must have to be very fit! Oh yes. The “Tour de France” has been likened to running 19 marathons in 3 weeks. We ride up to 160km each day - that's quite a lot and it includes some of the toughest regions in France for a cyclist, the Alps and the Pyrenees, for example, which means riding through mountain terrain. So how is the race organised? Well it's broken down into stages. The winner is the cyclist who finishes the race in the shortest overall time. That's not necessarily the rider who wins the most stages. So the times are all added together as the riders finish each stage of the race. Well yes, and the overall race leader gets to wear the famous yellow jersey. The leader of the mountain stages has the honour of wearing a red and white dotted jersey. And there's also a green jersey which the fastest sprinter wears. And everyone rides together?
Mark scheme, page 12
P2 Pl P2 Pl P2 Pl P2 Pl VI MI CONFIDENTIAL 0510/04 N02 The participants race as teams, each with a team leader. The function of the team is to help the team leader to keep up to speed, to shelter him from wind and to supply him with a bottle of water ifhe's thirsty. Usually these cyclists are sponsored by way of financing their preparation and race costs. So you're sponsored to cover costs only? Yes, but remember there's the equivalent of £1.1 million prize money involved in the “Tour de France”. The overall winner gets a massive £196,600. Several of the individual stages also have cash prizes. So how many people take part? About 200, but only half of those would be expected to complete the whole race. Do you get a lot of support from spectators? Oh yes, about 1m people a day come and watch us cycle past and we also have a worldwide TV audience! What a wonderful atmosphere the race must have. Alain, thank you for telling us about the “Tour de France” and best wishes for your next competition!** Pause 00°30” Now you will hear the interview again.

v1 CONFIDENTIAL 0510/04 NO2 Part Three Exercise Two Question 10 Listen to the following interview with the Chief Executive of a company which makes maps, and then answer the questions below. You will hear the interview twice. *Pl P2 Pl P2 Pl P2 Pl P2 Pl P2 Pl Have you ever wondered how all the information is put into maps? Shamza Dlamini is the first female boss in the history of one of the largest mapping companies in the world. Welcome, Shamza -- tell us about how maps are made. Well, I head an international company which has been in existence for 211 years — a lot of maps have been made in that time! We currently have nearly 2000 people working for us, and we have branches all over the world. The process of making maps must have changed throughout the years, especially as we're now in the age of computers. Yes, we have electronic maps, maps generated by computer and maps which originate from new satellite pictures. Do you know that the cameras in some of the satellites which orbit our planet can take photos of the Earth’s surface down to accurate detail and they can be updated daily. You see our environment is in a constant state of change so it's important to be able to adjust for this with the latest information available to us… How far away from Earth are those cameras in the satellites? Oh...nearly 700 km…incredible, isn’t it? Do you know that you can even buy a navigation system for your car nowadays which will locate you to within 10m of your true position. There's no problem about finding your way around when you can use one of those systems. And there must be lots of other advantageous uses for such a system… Yes, you're quite right. Some systems update their information second by second and could lead you to, for example, a free parking place, or to the cinema showing the film you wish to see or could even find a child that has wandered off. That’s wonderful. I still think of a map as being a folded piece of paper. So do most people and indeed we still sell £25m worth of paper maps every year—mainly things like tourist maps. They’re especially popular of course; people feel quite secure about travel in a new area or country if they have a current map with them. Maps today do more than this though — they're relevant to every practical area of our lives — think how many businesses rely upon geographical information and consider how many of our own decisions are made upon this basis — deciding where to live or shop, for example, or how to travel perhaps, or deciding where to work or study... OK. You have a massive responsibility then as head of the mapping agency. Why did you want a career in map-making?
Mark scheme, page 14
P2 Pl VI VI VI CONFIDENTIAL 0510/04 N02 T've always loved geography. I am fascinated by countries and people and I like to travel. Ihave a vision too of the importance of geographical information in relation to the way in which the world of the future will work. Thank you very much Shamza Dlamini. * * Now you will hear the interview again. Repeat from * to ** Pause 00°30” That is the end of Part Three and of the test. In a moment your teacher will stop the tape and collect your papers. Please check that you have written your name, Centre number and candidate number on the front of your question paper. Remember, you must not talk until all the papers have been collected. Pause 00°10” Teacher, the tape should now be stopped and all the papers collected. Thank you everyone. [BLEEP]
