الفصل الاول لغة انجليزية صف 11 اختبار الشهرين انجليزي للصف الاول ثانوي فصل اول 11th Grade Mid-term Exam 2015 Part One: reading Read carefully then answer the questions below. As a child, Nabil Hamed used to wander in the hills and valleys of Palestine with his father, a shepherd. After taking a break to continue his education abroad, he returned to Palestine and continued hiking, simply for the love of walking and nature. As time went by, he began to notice irreversible changes: the beauty of this ancient land was being destroyed by the Israeli occupation, sometimes rapidly, sometimes gradually. Olive trees and grapevines were pulled up, old stone buildings and even whole villages were pulled down to make room for more and more settlements, their roads and dividing walls. Today, many Palestinian natural treasures have become impossible to visit. Nabil Hamed, now in his sixties, has written this book to preserve them, at least in words. It tells the story of how a pleasure so many of us take for granted is being taken away: the freedom to wander through the countryside. A. Answer these questions: 1.
