Part 1: Exercise 2 Discovery Cove is an artificial tropical paradise in Orlando, USA. The cove has beautiful white sandy beaches for relaxation and recreation but the REAL attraction is the opportunity to swim with dolphins and to go snorkelling with stingrays (their stings have been removed!) and other tropical marine life. Only 1,000 people can be accommodated in Discovery Cove each day, so places have to be booked for a visit and there is a long waiting list. Discovery Cove rescues dolphins — altogether there are 30 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins currently. A bottlenose dolphin has between 75 and 100 teeth and is fed on small fish such as herring or sardines. Their diets are carefully watched by the staff at Discovery Cove — a youngster is fed about 4 kg of fish each day, while an adult can eat up to 18 kg every day. 225kg of fish is consumed daily by these dolphins at the cove. Dolphins are warm-blooded, — air- breathing mammals just like humans. They are very intelligent and need a varied routine in order to keep them alert Read the article below, and then answer the questions on the opposite page. and interested in life. To achieve this, the types of fish they eat are changed. In fact, every day they have a different trainer, different food and perform a different range of tricks. This keeps the dolphins happy and inquisitive. These dolphins were either born at Discovery Cove or rescued from other animal reserves — so none has been taken from the world’s oceans. They respond to hand signals and touch from their trainers. Different hand signals are used to get different behaviour from the dolphins — whether it is rolling over, flipping a ball, or lifting a flipper. Success in training is achieved by positive reinforcement. When a dolphin performs correctly, the trainer gives a reward — a positive reinforcer — in the form of lots of attention, a fish to eat, or a favourite toy to play with. Accompanied by a trainer, small groups of visitors can have a 40-minute interaction with their own dolphin. Dolphins are smooth and soft to touch, and the visitors who are swimming with them can hear the clicks and whistles that the dolphins use for communication underwater. 0510/01/03

Part 1: Exercise 3 Read the following article about the benefits of drinking water, and then answer the questions on the opposite page. THE WONDER OF WATER Vital for life - water is something we should all be drinking more of. Water makes up about 75% of the adult human body and around 85% of our brain. It is vital for almost every bodily function. The bad news is that we lose water all the time, through our skin — especially if hot or exercising — and even through breathing. Very few of us replace the amount of water we lose — to do so would mean drinking at least 8—10 glasses of water each day. Not drinking enough water can cause headaches, lethargy, dry skin and a multitude of other ills. So instead of rushing to the doctor, why not try increasing your water intake first? Water is possibly the simplest, most natural remedy in the world. So, will tap water do? If you just want to increase your fluid intake and reduce dehydration then tap water is fine, but because it has gone through a cleaning process it is considered by some people to be rather bland or tasteless. Natural mineral water has a better taste and contains some of the minerals essential to our health, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium and bicarbonates. It is pure, untreated water, bottled at source. The source must be proven free of pollution and protected so that the water is safe to drink. After two years of stringent tests to prove that the water has a constant composition, it can be described as natural mineral water. Unlike tap water, it does not need to be disinfected because of the process of filtration, which occurs as the water travels through the upper layers of the earth to the source. This can take many years. During this process the toxic bacteria die. Whatever type of water you decide to drink, the important thing is to drink more. Drink some water when you wake up — this is when the body is at its most dehydrated. Keep a bottle by you on your desk at college or at work and a bottle in your rucksack to sip wherever you are. Remember also to drink a glass of water before going to bed. You will feel a lot better for it! osto/01/4/03 | | : ! | . | | |

Part 2: Exercise 1 Read the following information about a new telescope, and then answer the questions on the opposite page. Part 2 LOOKING INTO DEEP SPACE Recently, a new telescope situated in Chile came into operation. It is called the Gemini South telescope and is ten times more powerful than the famous Hubble telescope. The Gemini South will look back to the birth of stars. The new telescope is located high in the Chilean Andes mountains, right away from the sources of Earth’s light and the pollution in the atmosphere. It is identical to its twin telescope — the Gemini North — which is situated in Hawaii. Both of these telescopes used together will now allow astronomers to view the entire sky in both the northern and southern hemispheres, Using the images produced by the Gemini South, astronomers will be able to see through the cosmic dust that hides star-forming regions and galaxies. This will reveal the secrets of the birth of the stars. These telescopes can view stars and galaxies that are 10 billion light years away. This will give astronomers greater insight into how the first stars were formed and the origin of the universe. The Gemini telescopes have already made many discoveries about the universe. Much has been discovered about a ‘supermassive’ black hole at the core of an active galaxy. The telescopes have seen gas and dust around stars where an early planetary system might be forming. Furthermore, the band of stars which form the ‘Milky Way’ has been seen in clearer detail than ever before by the telescopes. They have also observed a ‘brown dwarf’ ~ a star which has failed — circling a star like our own sun. Sightings of other galaxies, including a ‘perfect spiral galaxy’, are also included in the telescopes' successes to date. 0510/01/./03

9 For Examiner's Us (a) How does the new telescope compare in strength with the Hubble telescope? ne (b) Give one reason why the Gemini South telescope has been located in a high place. (c) What is the benefit of using both Gemini telescopes together? (d) What will astronomers learn from viewing distant galaxies? (e) According to the diagram: (i) how long ago did galaxies and stars begin to be formed? [Total: 6] 0510/01/8/03 (Turn over

10 Part 2: Exercise 2 Read the following article about a snake park, and then write a summary of its aims. Your summary should be about 100 words. You should use your own words as far as possible. SNAKES ALIVE! In the middle of Katraj Snake Park, Mr Khaire, the director of the park, and his team look after a host of poisonous and non-poisonous snakes which live in specially dug pits. The aim of the park is to educate visitors about snakes. Mr Khaire’s interest in snakes began during the monsoon of 1969 when he saved the life of a poisonous snake in a holiday camp he was managing at the time. He later released the snake safely into the wild. Khaire then bought a book about snakes and began to study. He rescued snakes which were in danger of being beaten to death and released them. As a result, he realised that 85% of snakes are not poisonous. They are largely harmless and generally only bite when provoked or threatened. Khaire realised that he had found his mission in life: to educate people about snakes. To reinforce this idea, Mr Khaire carried out a stunt. This involved spending 72 hours in a glass enclosure with 72 poisonous snakes. He was hoping to clear up misconceptions about snakes. His experiment attracted a lot of attention and created awareness about these reptiles. Following this, he approached the authorities for a space in which to create a snake park. Here snakes could be kept to educate the public and rescued snakes could find shelter. Four snakepits were dug and an exhibition hall was built. The park was opened in 1986 and since then Mr Khaire and his team of volunteers have been looking after the snakes. They maintain the park, give lectures, create exhibitions and conduct research about snakes. They also identify rare types of snake and study their breeding patterns. Although the initial objectives of the snake park were to rescue, release, breed and create awareness about snakes, the team also nurse and release other lost and injured animals and birds. All can find a shelter there and become part of the snake park family until fully recovered. An orphanage was created in order to nurse these extra creatures back to health. The snake park team is always busy. Zoos with reptile problems often contact the park for information, and people who have spotted a snake near their homes call the snake park frequently for help! 0510/011/03
