But will people love\nthem any less?\nParagraph 1.\n5.1.\nSo there you are cruising around a picturesque village in the Cotswolds in your Aston\nMartin Rapide, eating your bacon sandwich covered in lashings of HP sauce and ready\nto chase it down with a bag of Smarties. What could be more British than that? A Bond car,\nthe most popular British sauce and a sweet that has been a part of British childhood since\n1937.\nParagraph 2.\n5.2.\nBut change is afoot. Aston Martin is considering building the Rapide abroad, Smarties\nhas moved production from York to Hamburg in Germany, and the last bottle of British HP\nplopped mournfully off the line in Aston in March, giving way to production in Elst,\nin the Netherlands. In addition, Cadbury is moving Curly Wurly and other chocolates\nto factories in Poland, and there has been a memorable battle by the workers of Treorchy\nin the Rhondda Valley to stop Burberry taking production of its Polo shirts out of the country.\nParagraph 3.\n5.3.\nWhen HP Sauce made its decision, a retired police officer, Ray Egan, went as far as\noccupying the roof of the factory in Aston. There were protesters with Union Jacks\nat Westminster and an MP brandished a bottle in the Commons. The protesters asked how\na firm that had launched a campaign to “Save the Proper British Café” just weeks before\nthe decision to move production was made, and which had produced special bottles designed\nby Paul Smith for a Truly British season at Harrods in 2005, could have the gall to move to\nthe Netherlands. But none could stop the move and Heinz is unrepentant.\nParagraph 4.\n5.4.\n“It is more popular now, sales have gone up and people are satisfied with the product,”\na Heinz spokesman says. “We thoroughly researched all sorts of options earlier this year.\nThe priority for the company is to close the considerable financial gap. We are still fully\ncommitted to British manufacturing, with 80% of all our products made domestically, but we\ncan’t afford to go bankrupt.” Smarties-owner Nestle is equally bullish about its move\nto Hamburg. “We are making considerable savings this way. And Smarties aren't going\nto taste any different,” a spokesman says, adding that sales have not taken a hit.\nCzęść II\n3\nParagraph 5.\n5.5.\nManufacturing has been moving away from these shores for some decades,\nbut if Heinz and Nestle are right, the British consumer does not care about even the most\niconic British products being manufactured abroad. Rune Gustafson, chief executive\nof branding consultants Interbrand, thinks not. “People are actually aware of where products\nare made, provenance is important, but rather from a social aspect” he says. “There is also\na possible change in our perception of Britishness. Britain as a manufacturing nation has been\ndeclining for well over 50 years. So far, Britishness has meant: ‘made by British people\nin good conditions in good factories’, maybe Britishness in the future will refer much more\nto the design.”\nParagraph 6.\n5.6.\nThose brands that trumpet their Britishness are often luxury labels that are not\nin the business of massive sales. Knitwear firm John Smedley is one. “Economically it would\nmake some sense to manufacture abroad but our particular brand has been established since\n1784 on the same site in Derbyshire and employs 450 people,” says brand manager Dawne\nStubbs. “The same families have made the same product for generations and the skills base\nmeans it is best to stay put.” But John Smedley produces only half a million garments a year\nand its main business is selling £100 jumpers in Selfridges and Harvey Nichols.\nParagraph 7.\nIf the owners of iconic British brands can take production abroad and still maintain\nsales, then that tells us all we need to know about the diluted nature of our relationship with\nwhat we buy and where it is made. And this lukewarm attitude comes at a time when\nproducers of food in the UK are preparing to benefit from the current obsession with\nthe environment and food miles (the distance the food travels before it gets on our plate).\nBut in the case of manufacturing, the proof of the pudding seems to be in the buying.\nadapted from: news.bbc.co.uk\nWhich paragraph mentions:\nParagraph\n(1 - 7)\n5.7. special packaging created to promote the product’s Britishness?\n5.8. a group of people fighting against their own company moving\nproduction abroad?\n5.9. the reasons behind the decision to stay a domestic company?\n5.10. evaluation carried out to help the company make the decision about\nmoving abroad?\n5.11. a politician getting involved in a campaign against manufacturing\na British product abroad?\n5.12. two issues, other than product origin, which are of great interest to\nBritish consumers nowadays?\nTRANSFER YOUR ANSWERS TO THE ANSWER SHEET!\nCzęść II\n4","answer":null,"answer_text":null,"solution":null,"image":"img/jezyk-angielski-2009-maj-matura-dwujezyczna-2/zad-5.webp","solution_image":null,"topics":null,"page_from":2,"source":"ocr","answer_source":null,"answer_text_source":null,"solution_source":null,"text_source":"ocr","source_label":"Język angielski · Matura · maj 2009","subject_label":"Język angielski","category_label":"Matura"},{"id":"jezyk-angielski-2009-maj-matura-dwujezyczna-2/zad/6","paper_id":"jezyk-angielski-2009-maj-matura-dwujezyczna-2","number":"6","points":8,"ptype":"closed","subject":"jezyk-angielski","category":"matura","year":2009,"month":"maj","level":null,"text":"TASK 6.

For each correct answer\nyou will be given 1 point.\nBy the time Girija reached the camp site, it was nine-thirty; but he rested a few\nminutes before starting work. He had calculated beforehand that it would take him less than\ntwo hours to move all the boxes to the cane thicket, and was determined to reserve\nhis strength as much as possible. That’s how he was taught in MI5 - save your energy.\nThe hardest part of the job would come on the third night, and he must be prepared for that.\nHe had solved the problem of handling the boxes, almost by accident. At intervals,\nMr. Wright received catalogues from a mail order house in Singapore, and in one of them\nGirija had seen a device that had interested him. It was a gadget for those with heavy suitcases\nwho did not wish to hire porters. It consisted of a strap attached to a bracket with two small\ntrolley wheels mounted on it. The strap was fastened lengthwise round the suitcase,\nwith the wheels at one corner. There was a handle on the strap. The owner of the suitcases\nsimply grasped the handle and walked along, trailing the case behind him, with half\nof the weight of it carried on the trolley wheels. The price was six dollars.\nGirija had sent for one, and when the parcel arrived, he started to experiment.\nThe thing worked on firm ground; but up at the camp site, and with a heavy box of rifles,\nthe small wheels sank into the spongy surface of the hillside and were useless. Larger wheels\nwith broader tyres were needed. He had found them eventually on the estate. Before\nthe Wright children had been sent away to school in England, one of them had had a scooter.\nIt had been left in Mr. Wright’s garage, and Girija had had no difficulty in removing\nthe wheels. Mounted on an axle made out of a spare jack handle, they worked quite well.\nThe transfer to the cane thicket was completed by midnight, and Girija began\nthe journey back. In spite of his resolve to conserve his energies, he was tired, and realised\nthat he could no longer rely upon his wits to see him through. Now, it would be a question\nof stamina.\nThere was a compensation. As his weariness increased, his fears seemed to diminish.\nBy the time he had completed the next night’s work, he had forgotten about leopards from\nthe jungle, and feared the dark track from the stream bed to the tin workings only because\nit threatened his powers of endurance.\nThe nine boxes containing the rifles were the most awkward to handle, and only one\ncould be moved at a time. It required twenty stumbling journeys each way to shift\nall the boxes, and the final move from the stream bed to the oil depository took five and a half\nhours. When he had secured the padlock he sank down on the ground in a state of collapse.\nIt was another hour before he could summon the strength to get on his bicycle and ride back\nto the estate; and only the fear of being seen returning to the estate compound at daybreak\nbefore he had had time to wash and put on clean clothes, drove him to make that final effort.\nadapted from Passage of Arms by Eric Ambler\nCzęść II\n5\n6.1.

When Galileo pointed his telescope 7.1.\nJupiter in 1610 and discovered four moons orbiting this huge planet he had proof that ours\nwas not the 7.2. world in space.

It was this thoroughly researched nineteenth\ncentury science fiction novel which, 7.5. its technical flaws, inspired people to\ndevise ‘real’ spaceflight in the twentieth century. This story looks at how human beings have\nbreached the ‘final frontier’ and learned how to reach and travel in space.\nThe words “space: the final frontier” are 7.6. by the fictional Captain Kirk\nat the start of each episode of the original Star Trek series. The first programme came\n7.7. in 1966 but after three years the series was cancelled 7.8.\nto poor ratings. The decision turned out to be a 7.9. one as within a few years\nthe repeats were pulling in global audiences of many millions. Star Trek's popularity reflects\nour age-old fascination with space.
