 Man has long wanted to fly. He saw birds, envied them and tried to imitate them. Over the ages countless attempts were made: men constructed wings, fastened them to their arms and legs and jumped off towers and hill tops. These "bird-men" flapped their wings for a short space of time and then fell to the ground. What was not realised in those early years was that birds have muscles very much stronger, in proportion to their size, than men. Human limbs cannot provide sufficient strength to lift the body off the ground. The secret of flight did not lie in the making of wings, but in discovering the right kind of power, and how to use it. 
 In the 18th century, the invention of the hot-air balloon by the Montgolfier brothers of France was seen as a great step forward. In 1783, in the presence of the King and Queen, it took three passengers safely up into the air and down again. They were sheep, a cock and a duck. Soon ballooning became a fashionable pastime. But balloons and the cigar-shaped airship, which was invented slightly later, did not solve the problem of flying because they had no means of power or control: their designers could not find an engine strong enough yet light enough to drive the aircraft. The airship went where the wind blew it, could lose height and could easily catch fire. As a means of passenger transport, it turned out to be neither practical nor safe. So the difficulty remained: a true flying machine which was heavier than air and capable of carrying people was still to be invented. Experiments were carried out in many countries, sometimes with models driven by steam engine, but these were too heavy to be used in an aeroplane with a pilot. 
 The answer finally came at the beginning of this century with the invention of the internal combustion engine - the kind used in motor cars. Here at last was a powerful, yet comparatively light engine driven by petrol and capable of being fitted into an aeroplane. 
 In 1903, two Americans, the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, flew a powered aeroplane for the first time. Their success encouraged designers everywhere. Although there were now newer, different problems, mainly to do with safety and the training of pilots, progress was rapid. These were exciting days and interest was intense. At Reims, 1909, a crowd of a quarter of a million gathered at the first Air Display, and saw thirty-eight different aircraft take part. The age of the aeroplane had arrived.

ELEKTRON TO ELECTRICITY
 The first discovery of electricity is over 2,600 years old. Does that surprise you? Of course, there were no lights, telephones, refrigerators, radios, motion pictures, or television sets that long ago. ...(18)..., all of these modern conveniences are ...(19)... such recent development that you might well wonder how; electricity could be any older than Thomas Edison's development of the first practical electric light bulb in 1879.
 The word electricity comes from the Greek word meaning amber, ...(20)... is elektron. The fossilized sap of a pine tree, amber looks much like a hard lump of honey. In 600 B.C., a Greek philosopher named Thales rubbed a piece of amber against his sleeve to shine it. ...(21)... his interest, he found that the rubbed amber attracted small bits of lint, feathers, and dried leaves. This property of attraction was a strange characteristic which he thought only amber had. Today, our word electricity still goes back to Thales' early discovery about amber.
 More than two thousand years after Thales, an English physician discovered that other substances also had this characteristic of electricity. Frorn then on, ...(22)... men added to the knowledge of electricity. They set off the many developments and discoveries which have brought about our electrical era of today.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR WEATHER?
 What is "extreme" weather? Why are people talking about it these days? Extreme weather is very unusual rain, heat, and storms. For example, in 2010, 13 inches of rain fell in two days in Nashville, US. According to weather experts, that was a "once in 1,000 years" event. But these days, extreme weather events are more frequent. Also in 2010, 11 inches of rain fell in Rio de Janeiro in 24 hours, and there was record rainfall in Pakistan.
 The effects of this kind of rain are dramatic. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed the rain. Hundreds of people died. In Pakistan, it caused floods that affected 20 million people. The opposite situation is drought, when no rain falls. Australia, Russia, and East Africa have suffered major droughts in the last ten years. Another example of extreme weather is a heat wave, such as in the summer of 2003. In Europe, 35,000 people died from heat‐related problems.
 So, what is happening? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Are they happening because human activity affects the Earth’s climate? The answer, Peter Miller says, is probably a combination of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous cycles are called El Niđo and La Niđa. They start in the Pacific Ocean, but they affect weather all around the world.
 On the other hand, the Earth’s oceans are changing: their temperatures are increasing. And this is a result of human activity. The greenhouse gases we produce mean the atmosphere warms up. Warmer oceans produce more water vapour - think about what happens when you heat a pan of water in your kitchen. Information from satellites tells us that there is four percent more water vapour in the atmosphere than 25 years ago. This warm, wet air turns into rain, storms, hurricanes, and typhoons.
 Michael Oppenheimer, a climate scientist, says that we need to accept reality. Our weather is changing and we need to act to save lives and money.
