Zadanie 4. (0-5)
Przeczytaj cztery teksty o liniach kolejowych (A-D) oraz pytania ich dotyczące
(4.1.-4.5.). Do każdego pytania dopasuj właściwy tekst. Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli.
Uwaga: w jednej części tekstu znajdują się odpowiedzi na dwa pytania.
In which text does the author
4.1. describe an ingenious way to power a train?
4.2. point out that a train repeatedly changes direction while climbing the slope?
4.3. remark that the name of a train may be misleading?
4.4. mention a high possibility of a natural disaster in the area where a track runs?
4.5. express admiration for the speed at which a track was built?
A. NOSE OF THE DEVIL, ECUADOR
The track drops 500 metres over the course of twelve kilometres. The only way engineers
were able to get the train up and down the steep mountainside was to create
switchbacks, where the train goes past a junction, then travels backwards to the next
junction and then heads forward again. With no side railings to keep the carriages from
falling off the nearly vertical slopes, the route is terrifying for passengers. Another reason
why they might feel anxious is that the track is situated in Ecuador, a country which
sometimes experiences earthquakes. Fortunately, they have never affected this particular
area.
B. ASO MINAMI ROUTE, JAPAN
The most dangerous part of the track passes over the Tateno Bridge. This delicate steel
structure seems hazardous at first sight, because it is very narrow and looks as if one
wrong decision by the train driver could cause the train to fall. The ride across the bridge
may be scary, but what passengers should really fear is the presence of live volcanoes
including Mount Aso nearby. Visitors may witness an eruption at any time. What
compensates for the discomfort is the fantastic scenery which can be observed from the
train: green hills covered with dense forests and spectacular valleys with beautiful rivers.
However, just after an eruption, the burnt fields and smoking lava among the trees look
truly frightening.

C. THE TRAIN TO THE CLOUDS, ARGENTINA
The railway line includes 29 bridges, 21 tunnels and a huge number of ascents and
descents. The construction of this unique railway began in 1921. It took a long time,
almost three decades, to build the railroad in this harsh terrain. The train moves at
a leisurely pace, allowing passengers to admire the Polvorilla Bridge, the true highlight of
the trip! Although the train’s name suggests you will be surrounded by clouds and mist,
actually there’s not much chance of crossing the Polvorilla Bridge in the clouds.
D. LYNTON & LYNMOUTH CLIFF RAILWAY, UNITED KINGDOM
Opened in 1896, the railway joins two coastal towns in North Devon: Lynmouth at the foot
of a steep cliff and Lynton 500 feet above. Completing such a daring construction over
the course of just three years, and with the technology available at the time, was nothing
less than heroic. The railway moves thanks to the force of gravity with no engines
involved. Two carriages are connected to the opposite ends of the same cable which
goes around a huge wheel at the top of the cliff. Each car has a built-in water tank. The
car at the top is loaded with water until it is heavier than the car at the bottom, then the
brakes are released and the top car starts to descend and pull the other one up.
