At the time of the crash, Alvarez was travelling in excess of 128km/h.\nHe suffered a broken neck and head trauma; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The reason\nfor this reckless driving behaviour and his friend’s subsequent arrest? Alvarez and Bradley\nwere street racing.\nParagraph 2.\n5.2.\nAlthough tragic, Alvarez’s death is not unusual. The last few years have seen a steady\nincrease in illegal street racing in the United States. By the end of 20th century state troopers\nin Massachusetts issued 190 citations for illegal drag racing on state highways. By 2001, 365\ncitations were given. By 2002, the number of citations topped 500. The same year, on the\nother side of the country, a single California county experienced 16 fatalities and 31 serious\ninjuries as a direct result of illegal street racing.\nParagraph 3.\n5.3.\nRegulars on the street-racing circuit improve their chances of winning fans and races\nby modifying their vehicles. Once a speciality niche, car modification is now a multi-million\ndollar industry. Some changes are designed to improve speed making them deadly dangerous.\nOther changes are strictly cosmetic. Making all of these changes can be expensive and\naddictive. The results are incredible - cars that have been modified can go up to 228 km/h.\nCzęść II\n3\nParagraph 4.\n5.4.\nGiven the devastation that street racing can cause, authorities in cities throughout\nthe USA, are eager to put a stop to the practice. In 2001, the city of San Diego was perhaps\nthe hottest place in the country for street racing. Underground racing websites featured\ndetailed maps of race sites in San Diego’s neighbourhoods and local news shows regularly\nfeatured race-related accidents. Flowers placed along many roadsides honoured street-racing\ncasualties and politicians ran for office vowing to end the street racing epidemic.\nInitially, these vows appeared to be empty campaign rhetoric. Street racing seemed\nuncontrollable. However, progress toward ending the epidemic is slowly being made.\nParagraph 5.\n5.5.\nSimply showing up at potential racing locations to write tickets doesn’t work as a law\nenforcement policy. Racers keep potential sites quiet as long as possible and scatter when\nthe police show up. Yes, the police may catch a few of the participants, but most are able\nto get away. San Diego’s police have found it much more effective to use undercover officers\nto surreptitiously film the racers at illegal street events. They capture the racers’ faces and\nlicense plates on film and then put together arrest warrants. The following day, teams of\nofficers show up at the homes and work sites of racers, arresting them in front of families and\nco-workers, often with the media in tow.\nParagraph 6.\n5.6.\nPerhaps the most potential is in a brand-new statue that would cause repeat street\nracing offenders to lose their cars. Although many have had their vehicles impounded for\na time after being caught racing, none yet has had their car taken away for good. Given\nthe amount of money and time that many street racers have invested in their wheels,\nthe effects of this law could be devastating to the racing community.\nParagraph 7.\n5.7.\nFor those who are caught racing or who are involved in an accident, the next stop after\nbeing arrested by the police is the courtroom. It is here that the punishments for their offences\nwill be decided. One 22-year-old who was “just watching” street racing events was recently\nsentenced to 18 months of probation, 10 days of high-way clean-up service, fined $300, and\nordered to stay away from street racing venues; and that was for the first offence. Two other\nmen were put on a trial for second degree murder after their street race led to the deaths of\na San Diego couple just walking in the street. This charge carries a possible lifelong prison\nsentence. Although the jury decided to convict them of the lesser charges of vehicular\nmanslaughter with gross negligence, both men still face lengthy prison sentences.\nParagraph 8.\n5.8.\nPolice tactics, new laws, and tough courts have worked together to make the streets\nmuch less hospitable for illegal street racers, but the “need for speed” persists, so San Diego’s\ntask force decided to work with community organisations to offer a safe alternative.\nRaceLeg.com operates a drag strip race course in the parking lot of the local football stadium\nevery Friday and Saturday night. Barriers are provided to keep the crowd safe. Admission\nfees are charged, but a state grant allows the cost to be kept low - $15 each race and $5 to\nwatch. At first, only a dozen people or so showed up to race, but by summer 2003, 300 people\nshowed up to race and another 2,600 showed up to watch. It is not as much fun as the street,\nbut some racers admit with a shy smile that their moms like it better now.\nAbridged from Current, 2004\nCzęść II\n4\nWhich paragraph\nNumber\nof paragraph\n(1-8)\n5.9.\nmentions the ways of tuning a car?\n5.10.\npresents an acceptable compromise?\n5.11.\nmentions the accident which ruined a possible university career?\n5.12.\nstates that reckless behaviour may affect innocent people?\n5.13.\ndescribes how those who died in races are remembered?\n5.14.\nshows that not only racers but also spectators run the risk of being\nprosecuted?\nTRANSFER YOUR ANSWERS TO YOUR ANSWER SHEET!","answer":"5.1 I, 5.2 F, 5.3 B, 5.4 C, 5.5 E, 5.6 D, 5.7 H, 5.8 J, 5.9 para.3, 5.10 para.8, 5.11 para.1, 5.12 para.7, 5.13 para.4, 5.14 para.7","answer_text":null,"solution":"Official CKE answer key found in corpus at arkusze/jezyk-angielski-2007-maj-matura-dwujezyczna-odpowiedzi-2 (matura.lol's automatic pairing missed it).

Sitters my visitors in this case proved to be; but not in\nthe sense I should have preferred. There was nothing at first however to indicate that they\nmightn’t have come for a portrait. The gentleman, a man of fifty, very high and very straight,\nwith a moustache slightly grizzled and a dark grey walking-coat admirably fitted, both of which\nI noted professionally - I don’t mean as a barber or yet as a tailor - would have struck me as\na celebrity if celebrities often were striking. It was a truth of which I had for some time been\nconscious that a figure with a good deal of frontage was, as one might say, almost never\na public institution. A glance at the lady helped to remind me of this paradoxical law: she also\nlooked too distinguished to be a ‘personality’. Moreover one would scarcely come across two\nvariations together.\nNeither of the pair immediately spoke - they only prolonged the preliminary gaze\nsuggesting that each wished to give the other a chance. They were visibly shy; they stood there\nletting me take them in - which, as I afterwards perceived, was the most practical thing they\ncould have done. In this way their embarrassment served their cause. I had seen people painfully\nreluctant to mention that they desired anything so gross as to be represented on canvas; but the\nscruples of my new friends appeared almost insurmountable. Yet the gentleman might have said\n‘I should like a portrait of my wife,’ and the lady might have said ‘I should like a portrait of my\nhusband.’ Perhaps they weren’t husband and wife - this naturally would make the matter more\ndelicate. Perhaps they wished to be done together - in which case they ought to have brought\na third person to break the news.\n‘We come from Mr Rivet,’ the lady finally said with a dim smile that had the effect of\na moist sponge passed over a ‘sunk’ piece of painting, as well as of a vague allusion\nto vanished beauty. She was as tall and straight, in her degree, as her companion, and with ten\nyears less to carry. She looked as sad as a woman could look whose face was not charged with\nexpression; that is her tinted oval mask showed waste as an exposed surface shows friction.\nThe hand of time had played over her freely, but to an effect of elimination. She was slim and\nstiff, and so well-dressed, in dark blue cloth, with lappets and pockets and buttons, that it was\nclear she employed the same tailor as her husband. The couple had an indefinable air of\nprosperous thrift - they evidently got a good deal of luxury for their money. If I was to be one\nof their luxuries it would be necessary for me to consider my terms.\nAdapted from The Real Thing by Henry James\nCzęść II\n5\n6.1.

For each correct answer you will be given 1 point.\nBy Nigel Slater\nI want to feel that tingle of pleasure that comes with sitting down to lunch in a foreign city.\nThe one you get when a white-aproned waiter hands you a menu that hasn't changed in years\nand where there is the unmistakable squirt of fresh seafood in the air and the luxurious rattle\nof ice cubes in silver buckets. Most of all, I want to feel the frisson that accompanies a trip\nthat you shouldn't really be taking; time stolen when you can least afford it.\nThat city could be Paris, of course, but I am after a restaurant that is confidently\nold-fashioned, rather than simply resting on its laurels. My wish list is written in indelible\nblue-black ink: an unfussy, slightly old-fashioned room with a view of a busy street;\ntablecloths starched to snapping point and silverware that bears the patina of years of endless\npolishing. Iced water, crisp rolls whose crust shatters when you break them and little rounds\nof cold butter brought automatically to the table. There should be the gentle buzz of\na restaurant that is running like a well-tuned engine; whose waiters know which of you is\nhaving the halibut without having to ask, and where the wine is served ever-so-slightly too\ncold.\nAbove all, I want shellfish, preferably served on a battered tin dish that has seen a century\nof roughly crushed ice; a generous arrangement of fresh oysters all ready to swallow slowly;\na plainly boiled crab with wobbly mayonnaise; a couple of langoustines and some newly\nboiled prawns with shells to peel away and leave in a great pile. I know it is expensive,\nbut there is no meal more romantic, no lunch that makes you feel happier to be alive.\nNo tottering tower of frilly, modern food can match the sheer ozone-scented joy of life that\ncomes free with an order of fruits de mer.\nI decide that the foreign city is to be Amsterdam and phone a friend whose directions towards\nsuch a lunch are more dependable than any guide. So, 24 hours later, I am sitting in one of\nthose vast, cafe-populated squares Europeans do so well, having coffee and waiting for the\nplace to open. The place is exactly what I had dreamt of. Through the window you can see\nthe old red velvet chairs and sheer damask cloths, the pepper mills and the silverware\ngleaming in the morning sun. Yes, there are ice buckets, too, and a marble slab worn into\na gentle slope from years of waiters cutting lemons. The menu lists poached turbot rather than\nseared tuna, and sauce hollandaise rather than wasabi mayonnaise.\nThe cafes are bringing out their lunch menus. British tourists are ordering beer and chips.\nI'm on my second coffee and distinctly hungry. My restaurant has yet to show any sign of life.\nI move over to the door and give it a timid shove. It doesn't budge. On the menu, they have\nmarinated herrings and lobster on the half-shell, grilled sole and deep-fried plaice. There are\nprawn cocktails and fried whitebait, smoked salmon and fish soup. And, of course, the oysters\nI have come for. I give the door another push, harder this time, but there is a pile of papers\nin the way. Sitting on the doormat is what must be a month's worth of unopened bills.\nMy lunch date appears to be dead in the water.\n24 hours later, with the local gossip of the restaurant's scandal and bankruptcy still ringing in\nmy ears, I'm standing once more in the queue at my own fishmonger, waiting patiently while\neveryone gets their fish gutted. I shall have my own little fruits de mer at home.\nI run back with a bag of mussels and a knobbly parcel of prawns, a handful of clams and\na bundle of razor shells. At the bottom of my bag are six plump oysters, and in another, a bag\nof ice from the wine shop. I shall boil my own prawns and open my own oysters and crush my\nown ice. I will open the wine and unfold my own crisply starched napkin. And sod it, I shall\neven be the white-aproned waiter that brings it to my table.\nAbridged from The Observer, April 25, 2004\nCzęść II\n7\n7.1.

Instead, I listened to Kuba, and to the part of myself that desperately wanted to prove I wasn't as cautious as everyone always said I was.\n\nWe ran. The wind caught the wing harder than I expected, and for one glorious moment I was airborne, the valley spreading out beneath me like a green and gold map. Then a gust twisted the canopy sideways, and the ground, which had looked so far away a second earlier, was suddenly rushing up to meet me far too fast.\n\nI remember the impact more than the fall itself - a jarring crack in my left leg that made the whole world go white for a second, followed by a pain so total it left no room for anything else, not even fear. Kuba's face appeared above me, all colour drained from it, shouting my name as though shouting could undo what had just happened.\n\nThe paramedics who eventually reached us on the mountain track said I was lucky - a broken leg and two cracked ribs, nothing that wouldn't heal, though it would take months. Lying in the hospital bed afterwards, my leg suspended in a cast, I had plenty of time to think about how close \"lucky\" had come to meaning something far worse.\n\nKuba visited every day, apologising each time as though the accident had been entirely his doing. It hadn't, not really - I was the one who had jumped. But we both understood, without needing to say it aloud, that some dares are worth refusing, no matter how much you want to prove yourself. I haven't been paragliding since.
