NEW HUNT FOR LIFE IN SPACE

13. Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to the
questions.
A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense
fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at
determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are
moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave.
The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar,
however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of
light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of the radio
waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining
the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the
distance between the radar set and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the
term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an
object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air
traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.

1. What is the main topic of this passage?

A. The nature of radar. B. History of radar.

C. Alternatives to radar. D. Types of ranging.

2. According to the passage, what can radar detect besides locations of objects?

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived
through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after, and dying ten
years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements
into a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.

At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as
a printer‟s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the
Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which
helped him to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his
experience in business was shared in his famous Poor Richard‟s Almanak, which established
his reputation throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography,
which was written toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.

He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity
and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in
improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his
native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical
society,
and–because he was a pragmatic man–a fire prevention service. In 1753 he became
Postmaster–General of the colonies. Through this experience he began to develop the idea that
the colonies of North America should be a single nation. Later, he went to London to try to
persuade the British government to change the conditions, especially the taxes, that later led
the American colonists into rebellion.

Whatever Benjamin Franklin‟s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states,
he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to
help George Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress.
This was his last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by
Americans as one of the creators of the United States.

C. READING (30 points).

I. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (5 points)

People have been playing with marbles for thousands of years. The first marbles were
probably either river stones that happened to be naturally round enough to roll or, more likely,
rounded globs of clay that were baked hardness. Such very old clay marbles have been found
in both Greek and Roman ruins, and quartz spheres have been dated at around 6000 B.C.
Harder and more durable marbles tend to inspire different kinds of games than soft clay
marbles, which crack very easily. So with the advent of hand rounded and polished marbles
made of agate or some other rugged, igneous rock, the „golden age‟ of marbles and marble
play flowered. Stone marbles began to appear in the early 1800s in what is now the southern
part of Germany. Shortly after, handmade glass marbles appeared in the same part of Europe.
For the next 120 years, marbles and marble playing-there were literally hundred of games -
flourished in both Europe and America. Marble players developed their own vocabulary for
different sizes and materials of marbles, as well as for the many kinds of games to be played
and the way marbles were used in the games. For example, if you were going to play a game
of Ring-Taw, one of the most popular and enduring marbles games, you would lag for the first
shot, and then knuckle down from the baulk, trying your best to get a mib or two with your
opponents immie.

4. We can infer from the passage that marble playing __________.

A. is a game only for children C. is played according to one set of rules
