FINAL EXAM STILL WATER

1. Complete the text with the best form of the verbs in the
bracket.

Philip Taggart visits a farm where the sheep are super fit! Farmers, as
you may (1) ......................(know), (2)...................................(have) a hard
time of it in Britain lately, and (3) ..................................(turn) to new
ways of earning income from their land. This (4).................................
(involve) not only planting new kinds of crops, but also some strange
ways of making money, the most unusual of which has got to be sheep
racing. Yes, you (5)..................................(hear) me correctly! A farmer in
the west of England now (6)..................................(hold) sheep races on a
regular basis, and during the past year over 100000 people
(7)..................................(turn up) to watch the proceedings. 'I
(8)..................................(pass) the farm on my way to the sea for a
holiday,' one punter told me, ‘and I (9)..................................(think) I'd
have a look. I (10)..................................(not / believe) it was serious, to
tell you the truth.' According to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is
more interesting than betting on horses. 'At proper horse races
everyone (11)................................. (already / study) the form of the
horses in advance, and there are clear favourites. But nobody
(12)..................................(hear) anything about these sheep! Most
people (13)..................................(find) it difficult to tell one from another
in any case.' I (14)..................................(stay) to watch the races, and I
must admit that I (15)..................................(find) it quite exciting. In a
typical race, half a dozen sheep (16)..................................(race) downhill
over a course of about half a mile. Food (17)..................................(wait)
for them at the other end of the track, I ought to add! The sheep
(18)..................................(run) surprisingly fast, although presumably
they (19)..................................(not / eat) for a while just to give them
some motivation. At any rate, the crowd around me
(20)..................................(obviously / enjoy) their day out at the races,
judging by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.
