II. Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions
Passage 1
In the UK, bus journeys are just boring and simply a necessity. This public means of transportation is often
convenient when you live or work in the city centre, as you can avoid traffic jams by moving very quickly in
the bus lanes, and do not have to pay to park the car. After all, though, taking the bus is just a necessary and
tedious part of life: you board the bus, pay the driver and sit down or find a place to stand. Very boring.
In Latin America, however, bus trips can be very lively. For a start, long-distance buses put on films so that
you have entertainment for at least some of the journey. Naturally, local transport does not show films but
drivers usually switch on the radio and that can be a great way to hear new songs and new styles of music.

Passage 2
ANIMATION
The theory of the animated cartoon was introduced before the invention of the cinema by half a century.

persistence of vision. If drawings of the stages of an action were shown in fast succession, the human eye
would perceive them as a continuous movement.

phenakistoscope, a spinning cardboard disk that created the illusion of movement when viewed in a mirror,
in 1834, William Horner invented the zoetrope, a rotating drum lined by a band of pictures. The Frenchman
