A Queen's Homecoming
Archaeologists identify the mummy of a lost Egyptian queen
By Melissa Kong
Egyptian archaeologists announced on Wednesday that they have identified a mummy discovered in
1903 as that of Queen Hatshepsut (hat-shep-soot), Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh. The
mummy was originally found in the Valley of the Kings, a sacred burial site for kings and powerful
nobles located on the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt. Although the mummy was discovered more
than a century ago, it remained in a tomb until this past spring, when it was brought to the Cairo
Museum for testing.
A Powerful Ruler's Legacy
Queen Hatshepsut was the only woman to rule ancient
Egypt while the kingdom was at the height of its wealth and
power, from about 1502 to 1482 B.C. Of all the female
pharaohs--including Cleopatra and Nefertiti--Hatshepsut's
reign was the longest and most successful. While in power,
she established trade routes and built hundreds of
monuments and temples throughout Egypt. Despite her
prosperous reign, both her mummy and her legacy were
virtually erased from Egyptian history. Many historians
believe that Tuthmose III, Hatshepsut's stepson, destroyed
records and monuments bearing her name. It may have AMR NABIL—AP PHOTO
been his revenge. It is believed that she stole the throne
from him. Finding the mummy of this powerful queen may The mummy of Queen Hatshepsut on display at a
museum in Cairo, Egypt

TASK TWO (1 x 7 = 7 marks)
You are travelling to San Francisco next month. Read the following extract from
Traveler Magazine.
San Francisco: The Basics
Planning:
Entry Requirements: International travelers from 27 countries may enter
the U.S. without a visa through the Visa Waiver Program.
When to Go: The weather in San Francisco's many microclimates can be
unpredictable. Rainfall peaks in the winter, and the city's famous fog
invades during the summer. Locals look forward to the sunny, mild days of
spring and autumn.
Getting Around: Driving San Francisco's steep hills and scavenging for
parking can be challenging. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), an underground train system with stops
throughout the city and the Bay Area, offers a convenient alternative. The San Francisco Municipal
Railway (Muni) runs the city's buses, streetcars, and famous cable cars.
Checklist:
Walking shoes: "It really is a walking city," says Tom Downs, author of Walking San Francisco. The
combination of the city's steep hills, busy traffic, and limited parking often make driving impractical.
Wear comfortable shoes.
Sweater or fleece: Always carry a sweater or fleece, even if it's sunny when you walk out the door.
Umbrella: San Francisco's average annual rainfall is 21 inches; most of it comes down between
November and April. Keep dry with an umbrella or rain jacket.
T-shirts, shorts or skirt: "If you're coming in August or September, bring some shorts because it
could be hot," says Ray Riegert. Temperatures can climb above 90°F in the summer.
Ear plugs: If you hail from a big city, you probably won't be bothered by the city's nighttime noise;
otherwise, you may sleep more soundly with ear plugs.
Dress clothes: "Put a jacket on for dinner”, says Paula Tevis, author of San Francisco for Dummies.
A nice shirt, and a jacket for a man or a stylish outfit for a woman will help you fit in with the city's
trendy locals, especially when you go out at night.
Look at the questions and the pictures, then decide which picture answers each
question. For questions 1 - 7, write the letter A, B or C in the box on the right (ONLY
ONE). Question 0 has been completed as an example.

0. What do you need to enter the U.S. if you don’t belong to the Visa Waiver Program?
