Zadanie 1. (0–4)
Przeczytaj trzy teksty o znanych ulicach w Stanach Zjednoczonych (A–C) oraz zdania
1.1.–1.4. Do każdego zdania dopasuj właściwy tekst. Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli.
Uwaga: jeden tekst pasuje do dwóch zdań.

1.1. A motor vehicle ban is in force on the most prominent part of this street.

1.2. This road once had a sad record of fatal accidents.

1.3. A stretch of this street was restructured to make driving safer there.

1.4. There are different surfaces on this road.

A. MULHOLLAND DRIVE
When Mulholland Drive was completed in 1924, the city took the day off.
The fifty-five-mile-long road twists wildly along the top of the mountains until
it becomes unpaved1. There it winds west through dry creeks thick with wild flowers.
Descending through a steep oak and eucalyptus canyon, it ends at Leo Carrillo State Park.
This section, known by many as Dirt Mulholland, is not accessible by car, but it’s popular with
mountain bikers. The paved stretch2 was once popular with car racers, some of whom
underestimated its challenge. The increasing death toll made the city police increase monitoring
on the street to discourage racing.

B. PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
Designed as part of the layout of Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania Avenue was intended to be
a ‘grand avenue’ vital to the city’s infrastructure. It was one of the earliest roads constructed
in the capital. Until it was paved with crushed stone in 1832, it had been a dirt road. George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson recognized its significance and planted oak trees along its
edges to distinguish it from other streets in the city. Tradition calls for the President to walk
down Pennsylvania Avenue after taking the Oath of Office. After the 9/11 terrorist attack, which
claimed thousands of lives, its best-known stretch in front of The White House was permanently
closed to traffic for security reasons, but is still open to cyclists and pedestrians.

C. LOMBARD STREET
Lombard Street in San Francisco is world-famous for its quarter-of-a-mile-long cliff-like
section. The street was once so steep and hazardous for horse-drawn wagons and early cars that
there was talk of imposing a ban on traffic there. However, to make it more manageable and
reduce the risk of accidents, an enterprising local property owner suggested the system of sharp
hairpin bends3 which is still in use. The bends were later lined with flowers which bloom at
different times of year and significantly add to the street’s scenic appeal.
1
unpaved – nieutwardzony, niebrukowany
2
stretch – fragment ulicy
3
hairpin bend – serpentyna, zakręt o 180 stopni

CLUNY’S CAGE

Charles Edward Stuart (1720–1788), commonly known as the Young Pretender, or Bonnie
Prince Charlie, is an important figure in Scotland’s history. He believed the British crown was
his birthright1. Together with his Jacobite followers, he planned to remove the Hanoverian
usurper2 George II from the throne. His attempt to achieve this, initiated in 1745, ended with
the total defeat of his army at the Battle of Culloden. 2.1. _____ Bonnie Prince Charlie was one
of them.
Historians from the 1745 Association have long sought to establish the location of the hideout3
where Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed with Cluny MacPherson, one of his closest allies4, in early
September 1746. Maps of the area have long marked “Prince Charlie’s Cave”, also called
“Cluny’s Cage”, on the southern slopes of Ben Alder. 2.2. _____ They claim that slightly to the
west of the traditional spot5 they have found a location which more closely matches
MacPherson’s description of the prince’s shelter.
The vice-president of the 1745 Association commented on the discovery saying that it cannot
be claimed with any certainty that it is the real site of “Cluny’s Cage”, but it is a reasonable
candidate. 2.3. _____ And the two large rocks found there must indeed have formed a perfect
fireplace from which there was a natural chimney. Besides, smaller stones at the site appear to
be blackened on the underside, suggesting a fire may have been lit there. The new location fits
MacPherson’s description almost entirely. 2.4. _____ Yet, it follows from various accounts that
there were some in this area during the mid-18th century. The Association will now consider
what further research or archaeological work may be possible and affordable in order to
establish this claim beyond doubt.

birthright – something you believe is yours because of your family history
2
usurper – a person who takes control of something without having the right
3
hideout – a place where you go to hide, especially if you are in danger
4
ally – someone who supports you, especially when other people are against you
5
spot – a place

A. The spot is said to have been chosen by the fugitives because smoke from cooking could
disappear up the cliff face without being noticed.
B. His accomplice, Cluny MacPherson, made an attempt to overthrow the king, but failed and
had to flee and hide.
C. The Jacobites who survived had to run for their lives, and often spent months in hiding.
D. The only thing that is not in keeping with it is the fact that there are no trees at the site of
the supposed hideout.
E. However, some members of the organisation have doubts whether it is the true site
of the hideout.

CLUNY’S CAGE

Charles Edward Stuart (1720–1788), commonly known as the Young Pretender, or Bonnie
Prince Charlie, is an important figure in Scotland’s history. He believed the British crown was
his birthright1. Together with his Jacobite followers, he planned to remove the Hanoverian
usurper2 George II from the throne. His attempt to achieve this, initiated in 1745, ended with
the total defeat of his army at the Battle of Culloden. 2.1. _____ Bonnie Prince Charlie was one
of them.
Historians from the 1745 Association have long sought to establish the location of the hideout3
where Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed with Cluny MacPherson, one of his closest allies4, in early
September 1746. Maps of the area have long marked “Prince Charlie’s Cave”, also called
“Cluny’s Cage”, on the southern slopes of Ben Alder. 2.2. _____ They claim that slightly to the
west of the traditional spot5 they have found a location which more closely matches
MacPherson’s description of the prince’s shelter.
The vice-president of the 1745 Association commented on the discovery saying that it cannot
be claimed with any certainty that it is the real site of “Cluny’s Cage”, but it is a reasonable
candidate. 2.3. _____ And the two large rocks found there must indeed have formed a perfect
fireplace from which there was a natural chimney. Besides, smaller stones at the site appear to
be blackened on the underside, suggesting a fire may have been lit there. The new location fits
MacPherson’s description almost entirely. 2.4. _____ Yet, it follows from various accounts that
there were some in this area during the mid-18th century. The Association will now consider
what further research or archaeological work may be possible and affordable in order to
establish this claim beyond doubt.

1
birthright – something you believe is yours because of your family history
2
usurper – a person who takes control of something without having the right
3
hideout – a place where you go to hide, especially if you are in danger
4
ally – someone who supports you, especially when other people are against you
5
spot – a place

A. The spot is said to have been chosen by the fugitives because smoke from cooking could
disappear up the cliff face without being noticed.
B. His accomplice, Cluny MacPherson, made an attempt to overthrow the king, but failed and
had to flee and hide.
C. The Jacobites who survived had to run for their lives, and often spent months in hiding.
D. The only thing that is not in keeping with it is the fact that there are no trees at the site of
the supposed hideout.
E. However, some members of the organisation have doubts whether it is the true site
of the hideout.

A WALK WITH AUGUST

On our first Friday evening, when the sky was still pink from the sunset, I went with August
to the bee yard. I hadn’t been to the hives1 before, so she gave me a lesson in “bee yard
etiquette”. Don’t be afraid, no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don’t be an idiot; wear
long sleeves and trousers. If you feel anxious, whistle. Anxiety agitates, while whistling calms
bees down. Above all, show the bees love. August had been stung so many times she had
immunity. In fact, she said, stings helped her arthritis, but since I didn’t have arthritis, I should
cover up. She made me put on one of her long-sleeved white shirts, then placed one of the white
helmets on my head and adjusted the netting.
August kept 48 hives in the woods around the house, and she was allowed to have another
280 on neighbouring farms. Thus, the bees had a rich variety of flowers to choose from and
produced honey which was more delicious than ever. Those farmers loved her bees, as they
made the watermelons redder and the cucumbers bigger. They would have welcomed her bees
for free, but to show her gratitude, August paid every one of them with five gallons of honey.
She was constantly checking on all her hives. I watched her load her red wagon with frames
that you put in the hives for the bees to deposit honey on.
“We have to make sure the queen has plenty of room to lay her eggs, or else we’ll get
a swarm2,” she said.
“What does a swarm mean?”
“Well, if you have a queen and a group of independent-minded bees that split off from
the rest of the hive and look for another place to live, then you’ve got a swarm. They usually
cluster on a tree branch somewhere.”
It was clear she didn’t like swarms.
“So,” she said, getting down to business, “what we have to do is take out the frames filled
with honey and put in empty ones.”
We walked towards the hives. August’s assistant beekeeper, Zach, had placed a brick on top
of each hive to inform August what to do. If the brick was at the front, it meant the colony
needed another frame. If the brick was at the back, there were problems which had to be dealt
with, like wax moths or ailing3 queens. Turned on its side, the brick announced a happy bee
family. August pulled out a frame from one of the hives.
“There she is, Lily,” said August. “That’s the queen, the large one.”
I made a curtsy like people do for the Queen of England, which made August laugh.

MONITORING THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES

“2 bee, or not 2 bee?” That is the question Londoners could be asking when trying to spot one
of hundreds of specially numbered bees released1 into the capital. Biologists at Queen Mary
University of London have super-glued numbers to 500 bees. The biologists will be sending
them off from campus rooftops as part of the London Pollinator Project, aimed at preventing a
further decline in urban bee numbers caused, for example, by pesticides or a lack of flowers
rich in nectar. In an effort to restore2 the population of these beneficial creatures, researchers
are attempting to uncover the secret lives of the insects: locate their preferred places in the
capital and discover their favourite flowers. Hopefully, thanks to these findings, appropriate
steps can be taken and the number of bees will gradually go up.
Local residents can play a part in the project by creating bee-friendly spaces. Should the same
bees return to their balcony or garden, they can record how many times during the day bees do
so and which flowers they choose. Then they can send these observations to the researchers
using an app created for that purpose. In addition, to encourage a city-wide appreciation3 of
bees, the university is also going to award prizes for the best snapshots of these insects. Pictures
should be sent via email to the address given on the university website.
Knowledge acquired about bee memory for places or flower preferences can help the authorities
improve planting schemes which aim to stimulate bee population growth. Additionally,
this experience is likely to develop individuals’ connections with bees and, consequently,
awaken a deeper understanding of why assistance with the conservation4 of these creatures is
crucial. According to bee experts, Britain’s bees are facing multiple threats5, but we can all play
a part in helping them. Making our cities friendly to bees is easy and can make a real difference
to the insects’ survival.
1
release – to give freedom
2
restore – to return something to its earlier good condition
3
appreciation – an understanding of how good something is
4
conservation – protection of plants and animals
5
threat – a suggestion that something unpleasant may happen

3.4 The main goal of the London Pollinator Project is
A. to encourage city dwellers’ fondness for bees.
B. to estimate the number of bees in the urban environment.
C. to investigate ways of increasing the bee population in the city.

3.5. The smartphone app enables local residents to
A. enter a bee-related photo competition.
B. submit reports of bee sightings.
C. receive feedback on new planting schemes in cities.

A WALK WITH AUGUST

On our first Friday evening, when the sky was still pink from the sunset, I went with August
to the bee yard. I hadn’t been to the hives1 before, so she gave me a lesson in “bee yard
etiquette”. Don’t be afraid, no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don’t be an idiot; wear
long sleeves and trousers. If you feel anxious, whistle. Anxiety agitates, while whistling calms
bees down. Above all, show the bees love. August had been stung so many times she had
immunity. In fact, she said, stings helped her arthritis, but since I didn’t have arthritis, I should
cover up. She made me put on one of her long-sleeved white shirts, then placed one of the white
helmets on my head and adjusted the netting.
August kept 48 hives in the woods around the house, and she was allowed to have another
280 on neighbouring farms. Thus, the bees had a rich variety of flowers to choose from and
produced honey which was more delicious than ever. Those farmers loved her bees, as they
made the watermelons redder and the cucumbers bigger. They would have welcomed her bees
for free, but to show her gratitude, August paid every one of them with five gallons of honey.
She was constantly checking on all her hives. I watched her load her red wagon with frames
that you put in the hives for the bees to deposit honey on.
“We have to make sure the queen has plenty of room to lay her eggs, or else we’ll get
a swarm2,” she said.
“What does a swarm mean?”
“Well, if you have a queen and a group of independent-minded bees that split off from
the rest of the hive and look for another place to live, then you’ve got a swarm. They usually
cluster on a tree branch somewhere.”
It was clear she didn’t like swarms.
“So,” she said, getting down to business, “what we have to do is take out the frames filled
with honey and put in empty ones.”
We walked towards the hives. August’s assistant beekeeper, Zach, had placed a brick on top
of each hive to inform August what to do. If the brick was at the front, it meant the colony
needed another frame. If the brick was at the back, there were problems which had to be dealt
with, like wax moths or ailing3 queens. Turned on its side, the brick announced a happy bee
family. August pulled out a frame from one of the hives.
“There she is, Lily,” said August. “That’s the queen, the large one.”
I made a curtsy like people do for the Queen of England, which made August laugh.

MONITORING THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES

“2 bee, or not 2 bee?” That is the question Londoners could be asking when trying to spot one
of hundreds of specially numbered bees released1 into the capital. Biologists at Queen Mary
University of London have super-glued numbers to 500 bees. The biologists will be sending
them off from campus rooftops as part of the London Pollinator Project, aimed at preventing a
further decline in urban bee numbers caused, for example, by pesticides or a lack of flowers
rich in nectar. In an effort to restore2 the population of these beneficial creatures, researchers
are attempting to uncover the secret lives of the insects: locate their preferred places in the
capital and discover their favourite flowers. Hopefully, thanks to these findings, appropriate
steps can be taken and the number of bees will gradually go up.
Local residents can play a part in the project by creating bee-friendly spaces. Should the same
bees return to their balcony or garden, they can record how many times during the day bees do
so and which flowers they choose. Then they can send these observations to the researchers
using an app created for that purpose. In addition, to encourage a city-wide appreciation3 of
bees, the university is also going to award prizes for the best snapshots of these insects. Pictures
should be sent via email to the address given on the university website.
Knowledge acquired about bee memory for places or flower preferences can help the authorities
improve planting schemes which aim to stimulate bee population growth. Additionally,
this experience is likely to develop individuals’ connections with bees and, consequently,
awaken a deeper understanding of why assistance with the conservation4 of these creatures is
crucial. According to bee experts, Britain’s bees are facing multiple threats5, but we can all play
a part in helping them. Making our cities friendly to bees is easy and can make a real difference
to the insects’ survival.
