19. There is an advantage to launching satellites from the equator. The Earth spins faster there, giving rockets a boost in reaching orbit that allows them to carry heavier payloads. But here are few suitable launching sites on the equator that would not involve political problems. Therefore, an international consortium has converted an oil -drilling platform into a floating launch pad, rocket assembly plant, and mission control. They hope to develop the capacity to launch commercial telecommunications satellites.
    _________________________
    The main advantage of launching satellites from the equator is that ____________.
    1.   it is easier to put larger satellites into orbit from there
    2.   it does not cause political problems in the countries concerned
    3.   the weather is more reliable there
    4.   life is cheaper for the mission control and rocket assembly staff
    5.   there are a number of oil -drilling platforms available in the area
20. The passage states that an international consortium _______________.
    1.   is planning to launch satellites from the equator
    2.   is ignoring the political problems having arisen in the area
    3.   has had problems as to the use of the oil -drilling platform in the equator
    4.   is temporarily launching satellites from an oil -drilling platform
    5.   is negotiating with the equatorial countries for a launching pad
21. Considering the circumstances stated in the passage, the oil -drilling platform mentioned must be, __________________.
    1.   positioned at the best point in theocean
    2.   in international waters, where it does not cause political problems
    3.   unable to launch rockets with heavier payloads
    4.   cheap to convert into a floating launch pad
    5.   away from any of the equatorial countries
22. Iron has been known since prehistoric times. Although how humans first learned to extract the element from its ores is still debated, it is fairly certain that earliest, 336 highly prized samples of iron were obtained from meteors. Several references to “the metal of heaven “ –most probably iron –have been found in ancient writings. By about 1200 BC. Iron was being obtained from its ores; this achievement marked the beginning of the Iron Age. Even with the development of other elements, iron and its alloys remain important in the economies of modern countries.
    ____________________________________
    According to the passage, iron __________________.
    1.   was not known until 1200 BC
    2.   was first obtained from a source other than iron ore
    3.   is a very recent discovery
    4.   was the most important discovery in humans history
    5.   was discovered at the beginning of the Iron Age
23. The author is almost certain that _______________.
    1.   the best examples of iron work were produced during the Iron Age
    2.   the statement “the metal of heaven” in ancient writings refers to iron
    3.   iron ore was the only known source of iron until 1200 BC
    4.   modern industry couldn’t have developed without iron
    5.   how humans discovered iron ore will still be debated in the future
24. It is pointed out in the passage that ________________.
    1.   iron alloys are much less important in industry than pure iron
    2.   other materials have not completely replaced iron in modern times
    3.   meteors are still the primary source of iron
    4.   the method first used by man to extract iron from its ore is well known today
    5.   at no time has iron been considered as valuable as it is today
25. The question has often been asked why the Wright brothers were able to succeed in an effort in which so many othershad failed. Many explanations have been offered but three reasons are most often cited. First, they were a team. Both men worked well together, read the same book, located and shared information, talked incessantly about the possibility of manned flight, and served as a consistent source of inspiration and encouragement to each others. They were also glider pilots. Unlike some other engineers who experimented with the theories of flight, Orville and Wilbur Wright experienced the practical side of their work by building and flying in kites and gliders. In addition, the Wright brothers had designed more effective wings for the aeroplane than had been previously engineered.
    ___________________________
    The experience distinguishing the Wright brothers from their competitors wasv that __________________.
    1.   their erstwhile efforts were praised, which encouraged them to go ahead
    2.   their backgrounds were full of aviation successes
    3.   they were inspired by their masters who made experiments before
    4.   they were much cleverer than their contemporaries
    5.   they had the chance to try their work ,being aviators
26. The author’s main point in this passage is _________________.
    1.   the advantage of the internal combustion engine in the Wright brothers
    2.   the Wright brothers’ using different tools and techniques
    3.   the reasons why the Wright brothers succeeded in manned flight
    4.   the Wright brothers’ experience as pilots
    5.   the importance of knowing how to build and fly in kites and gliders
27. One of the things that the Wright brothers didn’t do is that ________________.
    1.   they discussed ceaselessly about the probability of floating on air
    2.   they searched and obtained information from the same sources
    3.   they worked harmoniously for many years
    4.   they couldn’t find explanations why those having tried to fly before failed
    5.   they encouraged and inspired each other
28. Paper has been known in one form or another from very early times. The papyrus reeds of the Nile swamps served the ancient Egyptians for sheets upon which to inscribe their records. The Chinese and Japanese, centuries later, were using something more akin to modern paper. In substance, an Asiatic paper mulberry, yielding a smooth fibrous material, was being utilised. With the spread of learning in Western Europe, the necessity of a readier medium made itself felt, and paper began to be manufactured from pulped rags and other substances. Other papermaking staples were later introduced, such as linen cotton and wood pulp. The chief raw material in the world paper industry now is wood pulp, the main exporters being the timber growing countries of Canada, Sweden and Finland.
    ___________________________
    We can understand from the passage that, throughout the history, paper ______________.
    1.   has largely been used for documentation rather than for learning
    2.   has been produced a wide range from materials
    3.   has played a vital role in the advancement of learning
    4.   has been a major expert item for Asian countries, and for China in particular
    5.   has been valued as a means of communication more in the West than in the East
29. It is obvious from the passage that today the wood pulp needed for the manufacture of paper _______________.
    1.   is normally made from raw materials locally available
    2.   is largely provided by the countries which produce a great deal of timber
    3.   can only be produced economically with the aid of sophisticated technology
    4.   is produced from a variety of substances other than timber
    5.   can most readily be prepared form timber with a high fibrous content
30. The main concern of the passage is to ________________.
    1.   account for the economic implications of paper industry
    2.   explain why there has been so little change in the development of paper making
    3.   describe how the West learned the techniques of papermaking
    4.   give a historical account of papermaking with emphasis on the main raw materials used
    5.   alert the reader to the fact that very large amounts of timber are consumed in papermaking
