Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage. 1 2 3

Hotels in Kuala Lumpur are selling them at about RM100 a piece and local Chinese restaurants are cashing in on them as well. It is that time of the year again when connoisseurs and common folks in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia go crazy over a Shanghainese delicacy in the form of a small, hairy-legged, green crustacean. We are talking about the seasonal Hairy Crabs which are widely available in Shanghai from October to November. You can even get them in 7-Eleven stores there! So what’s so great about these crabs? In ancient China, it was regarded an elite activity to enjoy the crab delicacies, watch the blooming chrysanthemums and compose lyrical poems. The secret lies with the roe – a sinfully rich and creamy orange substance that has melted the resistance of even the most cholesterol conscious. Dragon-O Restaurant which serves Shanghainese cuisine has also jumped on the bandwagon to bring these tiny delicacies to Malaysia. To make it more affordable, they import the crabs direct from the source – Tai Lake in Jiangsu Province, China. The ecology around Tai Lake is the reason why Hairy Crabs are reared there. Tai Lake’s ideal depth of two metres allows sunlight to reach the bottom of the lake, causing seaweed, the crabs’ food, to flourish. According to Raymond Cheung, a Hairy Crab farm owner, wild crab fries are purchased every March from local fishermen who catch them by the kilos from the mouth of the Yangtze River. There would usually be about 160,000 fries in a kilo. These two-week-old fries are then put into a small pond to mature. Come December when the crabs are nine months old, they are relocated to an enclosed pen by the lake in preparation for the cold winter months. During this time, the crabs will bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of the lake to hibernate. When they are more than a year old, the crabs are relocated again in May to bigger pens in the middle of the lake. These are crucial months as the food and temperature during this period determine the quality of the harvest in the fourth quarter of the year. The crabs are considered mature after they have moulted 21 times. They usually moult when the temperature drops to 20°C. During this time, they are fed small fishes, corn, spirulina and garlic. Their shells are yellow during their growing months and will turn green once they mature. Hairy crabs are best harvested in the months of October and November. They are caught with nets placed at the bottom of the lake. The crabs are then taken to the factory for packaging and exporting. At the factory, workers bind them so that they will not move and pack them in styrofoam boxes before placing them in a huge chiller for a day to hibernate. CCTVs are installed all around the factory. The government is concerned about the quality of China’s exports and they conduct stringent monitoring through live feed CCTVs. The cameras also allow them to keep track on the number of crabs being exported.

The boxes are then filled with ice before being exported to other countries. Each box is individually tagged so customers can trace the source if any problems arise. It takes two days for the live crabs to arrive in Malaysia and another day to the respective restaurants. The crabs can survive for about a week. The Dragon-O Restaurant is offering Malaysians a taste of this Shanghainese delicacy at a reasonable price. The owner has this to say, “We have always kept in mind that value for money is the way to go if we want our customers walking out of the restaurant to come back some day soon.” Adapted from The Star, November, 2008

She was one of those pretty and charming young girls who sometimes are born, as if by a slip of fate, into a family of clerks. She had no dowry, no expectations, no way of being known, understood, loved and wedded by any rich and distinguished man; so she let herself be married to a little clerk of the Ministry of Public Instruction. She dressed plainly because she could not dress well, but she was as unhappy as if she had really fallen from a higher station; since with women there is neither caste nor rank, for beauty, grace and charm take the place of birth and breeding. Natural ingenuity, instinct for what is elegant, a supple mind are their sole hierarchy, and often make of women of the people the equals of the very greatest ladies.

8 – 13

Errors multiple in nature, requiring the readers to read and re-read before being able to understand. High incidence of error makes meaning blur. Maybe short of required number of words. Able to get some sense.

U(iii)

0 – 7

Scripts almost entirely impossible to read. Full of multiple word errors. Whole sections may make little or no sense. Where occasional patches of clarity occur, marks should be awarded. “0” is awarded only if no sense at all from beginning to end.
