Geography (cont.)
C. Now look at this report of a journey and fill in the gaps with one of the words or
expressions from Tasks A and B. In some cases, more than one answer may be possible. You
may need to change some of the word forms.
We began our journey in the country's 1. __________, Trinifuegos, a 2.__________
conurbation of almost ten million. It is not a pretty place: heavily 3.__________, with
huge factories belching out black fumes, and miles of 4.__________ as housing estates
and shopping centres spread out from the 5. __________ centre for miles. t was a relief
to leave.
As soon as we got into the countryside, things improved considerably. The climate is hot
and dry and it is difficult to grow anything, but thanks to 6.__________, which helps
bring water in from the Rio Cauto (the huge river with its 7.__________ high up in the
snow-covered 8.__________ of the Sierra Maestra 9.__________), the land is fertile
enough to grow the sugar cane on which much of the economy is based. We saw few
people, however, as many have moved to the towns and cities to look for more
profitable work. It is largely due to this rural 10.__________ that agriculture in the area
is suffering.
Further south, and we entererd the Holguin 11.__________, with mountains rising high
above us on both sides. The land here drops sharply to the sea and the slow-moving
waters of the Rio Cauto give way to 12.__________ which tumble over cliffs, and small,
fast-moving 13.__________ which are not even wide enough to take a boat. At this
point, the road we were travelling along became a 14.__________, which was only just
wide enough for our jeep, and then an unpaved 15. __________ which almost shook it
to pieces.
And then suddenly we turned a corner and the Pacific 16.__________ was in front of us.
Our destination was the town of Santiago de Gibara, built on a 17.__________ sticking
out into the blue waters. The countryside here undulates gently, with low 18.__________
covered in rich tropical jungle. The open 19.__________ surrounding the 20.__________
of the Rio Cauto as it reaches the ocean is rich and 21.__________, ideal for growing the
tobacco plants which need a lot of warm, damp soil.
That night I lay in my cheap hotel, listening to the 22.__________ gently lapping the
sandy 23.__________, and when I eventually fell asleep, I dreamed of the people who
had first inhabited this 24.__________ almost two thousand years before.
