ENGLISH 10 - THE SECOND TERM EXAM
TEST 2
Name: ___________________________
I. Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C
or D) that best answers each question.
Copenhagen
In
spite of being the capital of one of Europe’s smallest countries, the clean and
friendly city of Copenhagen offers a host of cultural and sightseeing
opportunities. With a vast number of pedestrianised streets, the best way to
sightsee is by foot, or you may prefer a leisurely canal cruise past the
colorful waterfront houses.
Sights
not be missed include Rosenborg Castle which houses the Crown Jewels,
Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid and the famous Tivoli Gardens with a
myriad of restaurants and bars, concert halls and a fairground offering
something for everyone. Also worth a visit is the Viking Museum and for
something different why not tour the Carlsberg Brewery. Shoppers will enjoy the
fine shops of the Stroget and don’t forget the side-streets leading from it.
After sunset, head for Nyhavn quayside.
“A
rarity among capital cities - it does not overwhelm you, but rather takes you
gently in and shows you its sights with quiet pride. The Little Mermaid is smaller
than you imagined (but she is, after all, “Little”) and there isn’t a single
inch of neon among the light bulbs of Tivoli.” - John Carter.
