Read the passage below about a college in the
city of Bath, written in 1985, and answer the
questions that follow. |
The college has the advantage of location in
one of the most attractive cities in the country.
Within the city of Bath it occupies modern
buildings in a landscaped garden on Sion hill,
Lansdown and an adjacent Georgian Crescent,
Somerset Crescent, which includes teaching and
residential accommodation for post-graduate
studies. It also occupies three houses in Sydney
Place, which are used for studio and workshop
accommodation for part-time courses in the Visual
Arts and for the Foundation Course in Art and
Design. The Newton Park site is situated four
miles west of Bath between the villages of Newton
St Loe and Corston. Within the grounds are a
Georgian mansion, where the college’s sentral
administration is located, an Elizabethan dairy,
stables and the tower of a medieval manor house;
all these older buildings have been adapted to
present-day use. A new purpose-built Home
Economics block was opened in January 1985. During
1986 a new Sports Hall will be completed and new
residential blocks are under construction to be
completed ready for the start of the academic year
in September 1986; a new music Block will be
completed in 1987. The Art and Design degree
courses which are currently accommodated at
Corsham, about nine miles east of Bath, will be
moved to the Sion Hill site in Bath by September
1986 thus reinforcing Faculty and Course
links. The college courses are designed to take
advantage of the special opportunities and
circumstances provided by its environment.
Students have available such resources as the
Costume and Fashion Research Centre, the Royal
Photographic Centre and the Museum of American
Domestic Life at Claverton. Concerts and recitals,
including some given by staff and students, take
place throughout the year in the Assembly
Rooms. The college uses buildings in five
different places. Where are the following things

WINTER SPORTS Ice, danger and
exhilaration | |
The 17th Winter Games, held in
Norway in 1994, are part of an Olympic tradition
which goes back almost 3,000 years. For more than
Games were held, every four years, on hallowed
ground near Mount Olympus, where the Greek gods
were said to live.
The ‘Olympics’ brought together men from
war-torn tribes and states in Greece and its
colonies. A sacred truce was declared to allow men
to travel to the games in safety. Women could not
take part and were forbidden, on pain of death,
even to attend the Games.
The ancient Olympics were abolished by the
Roman Emperor Theodosius in 393 AD, after Greece
had lost its independence. But the idea never died
and the Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin, an
educator and scholar, founded the modern
Olympics,his aim was to bring together, once every
four years, athletes from all countries on the
friendly fields of amateur sport. No account was
to be taken of national rivalries, nor politics,
race, religion, wealth or social status.
The first modern Games were held in Athens in
1896, and four years later, in Paris, women began
to take part. Although the winter Olympics did not
begin until 1924, figure skating was part of the
1908 London summer Olympics; both skating and ice
hockey were included in the Antwerp Games in 1920.
But generally winter sports were felt to be too
specialized. Only cold weather countries had much
experience of activities such as skiing-a means of
transport overland across ice and snow during long
winters.
The Scandinavians, for whom skiing is a part of
everyday life, had objected to a winter fames.
They feared it would threaten their own Nordic
Games, which had been held every four years since
1901. But the international Olympic Committee
(IOC) agreed to stage an International Sports Week
in Chamonix, France, in 1924.It was a success and
the Scandinavians won 28 of the 43 medals,
including nine golds. They dropped their
objections and the event was retrospectively named
the First Olympic Winter Games.
Apart from the Second World War period the
Winter Olympics were held every four years, a few
months before the summer Olympics. But in 1986 the
IOC changed the schedule so that the summer and
winter games would be held in different years.
Thus, for the only time in history, the
Lillehammer (Norway) Games took place just two
years after the previous Winter Olympics which
were held in Albertville, France.
Since the Winter Games began, 55 out of 56 gold
medals in the men’s nordic skiing events have been
won by competitors from Scandinavia or the former
Soviet Union. For teams from warm weather
countries, cross-country skiing can pose problems.
At the Calgary Games in 1988, one competitor in
the 50-kilometre event was so slow that race
officials feared he was lost and sent out a search
party. Roberto Alvarez of Mexico had never skied
more than 20 kilometres before and finished
61st and last 52 minutes behind the
60th place.
