Test “Inventions and Discoveries”

Variant 1

1.                Read the text and find out the use of Passive Voice. Underline passive forms.

Tourism is important to the city of Lincoln in England. In 2005 it was visited by more than a million people, and many of these went to see the cathedral. The first cathedral was built in 1072, and much of the building you see now was finished more than 600 years ago. In 1215 the Magna Carta was signed by the Bishop of Lincoln, and one of the four original copies is kept in the castle in Lincoln. In 2006 The Da Vinci Code’ with Tom Hanks was filmed in Lincoln, and since then the city has been visited by even more tourists. Another tourist attraction is the Christmas market which is held in the city every year. Many of the things that are sold at the market are produced locally like the famous Lincolnshire sausages. So, next time you’re in England, why not visit Lincoln and see the sites for yourself.
