PART II READING COMPREHENSION

SECTION A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

In this section there are three passages followed by fourteen multiple choice

questions. For each multiple choice question, there are four suggested answers

marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark

your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

PASSAGE ONE

(1) It’s 7 pm on a balmy Saturday night in June, and I have just ordered

my first beer in I Cervejaria, a restaurant in Zambujeira do Mar, one of the

prettiest villages on Portugal’s south-west coast. The place is empty, but

this doesn’t surprise me at all. I have spent two weeks in this area, driving

along empty roads, playing with my son on empty beaches, and staying in B&Bs

where we are the only guests.

(2) No doubt the restaurant, run by two brothers for the past 28 years, is

buzzing in July and August, when Portuguese holidaymakers descend on the

Alentejo coast. But for the other 10 months of the year, the trickle of diners

who come to feast on fantastically fresh seafood reflects the general pace of

life in the Alentejo: sleepy, bordering on comatose.

(3) One of the poorest, least-developed, least-populated regions in western

Europe, the Alentejo has been dubbed both the Provence and the Tuscany of

Portugal. Neither is accurate. Its scenery is not as pretty and, apart from in

the capital Evora, its food isn’t as sophisticated. The charms of this land of

wheat fields, cork oak forests, wildflower meadows and tiny white-washed

villages, are more subtle than in France or Italy’s poster regions.

(4) To travel here is to step back in time 40 or 50 years. Life rolls along

at a treacly pace; there’s an unnerving stillness to the landscape. But that

stillness ends abruptly at the Atlantic Ocean, where there is drama in spades.

Protected by the South West Alentejo and Costa Vicentina national park, the 100

km of coastline from Porto Covo in the Alentejo to Burgau in the Algarve is the

most stunning in Europe. And yet few people seem to know about it. Walkers come

to admire the views from the Fisherman’s Way, surfers to ride the best waves

in Europe, but day after day we had spectacular beaches to ourselves.

(5) The lack of awareness is partly a matter of accessibility (these

beaches are a good two hours’ drive from either Faro or Lisbon airports) and

partly to do with a lack of beachside accommodation. There are some gorgeous,

independent guesthouses in this area, but they are hidden in valleys or at the

end of dirt tracks.

(6) Our base was a beautiful 600-acre estate of uncultivated land covered

in rock-rose, eucalyptus and wild flowers 13km inland from Zambujeira. Our one-

bedroom home, Azenha, was once home to the miller who tended the now-restored

watermill next to it. A kilometre away from the main house, pool and

restaurant, it is gloriously isolated.

(7) Stepping out of the house in the morning to greet our neighbours –

wild horses on one side, donkeys on the other – with nothing but birdsong

filling the air, I felt a sense of adventure you normally only get with wild

camping.

(8) “When people first arrive, they feel a little anxious wondering what

they are going to do the whole time,” Sarah Gredley, the English owner of

estate, told me. “But it doesn’t usually take them long to realise that the

whole point of being here is to slow down, to enjoy nature.”

(9) We followed her advice, walking down to the stream in search of

terrapins and otters, or through clusters of cork oak trees. On some days, we

tramped uphill to the windmill, now a romantic house for two, for panoramic

views across the estate and beyond.

(10) When we ventured out, we were always drawn back to the coast – the
