The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any one vantage point. Various views must be integrated to give perspective to the whole picture. One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few days ahead. This approach is included in the branch of the science called synoptic meteorology. Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagrams. The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forecasting cannot be overestimated. In serving the needs of shipping. aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefits are reaped in the form of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One significant purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to strive, through advanced study and research, to increase bur knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts. 25. The predictions of synoptic meterologists are directly based on the_____________. application of the physical sciences preparation and study of weather maps anticipated needs of industry observations of commercial airline pilots 26. The author implies that increased accuracy in weather forecasting will lead to________. more funds allocated to meteorological research greater protection of human life. a higher number of professional forecasters less-specialized form of synoptic meteorology 27. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage? A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented. Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order of importance. D) Contributions of weather forcast to human activities concerning agriculture are stated. Scientists have succeeded in making human volunteers immune to malaria by injecting them with genetic material. The breakthrough brings the prospect of a much-needed vaccine significantly closer. Malaria kills between one and two minion people every year –mostly and mostly in Africa - and makes a further 500 million people ill. The hunt for a vaccine has lasted for more than 20 years. Dr Stephen Hoffman and his team of researchers have taken from the malarial microbe, which can not cause the disease in themselves, into 20 volunteers, following successful tests on animals. The volunteers' immune systems were found to be as good as those of people who have naturally contracted the infection through a mosquito bite and recovered. 28- The passage states that scientists……… . A)have just been successful in finding an effective vaccine against malaria B)illegally carried out tests on more than 500 people C)have been looking for a way to protect people from malaria for over two decades D)have so far found approximately one million volunteers to take part in their tests 29-The passage gives us the information that malaria ……. . A)is fatal for more than 500 million people per year B)mostly affects aged people who live in Africa C)will soon be eliminated from the Earth due to this discovery D)is a disease transmitted by mosquitoes 30-According to the passage, if someone has contracted malaria and recovered from it, …….. . A) he becomes naturally immune to the disease B) it's quite likely that he will suffer some permanent ailments C) it is regarded as a miracle even by the scientists D) he should be vaccinated against the disease without delay In the 19th century, sugar cane became a major crop in the Hawaiian Islands. Rats, which came ashore from ships, began nesting in the cane and causing considerable damage. Because the mongoose, a small mammal from India, was known to be an excellent rat hunter, they were imported and a law was made against hunting them. After only a few years, the rat population was significantly reduced. However, at the same time the mongoose population increased, and went looking for new sources of food: young pigs and goats, for example. They also began to destroy the native animals that ate the insects causing damage to sugar cane. Soon the mongoose became a bigger problem than the rats had ever been, and to this day they are a major pest in the Hawaiian Islands. 31-One generalisation we can make from the passage is that, ……….. . A) despite the harm it causes, the mongoose is an important pet in the Hawaiian Islands B) the mongoose likes domesticated animals like pigs and goats better than rats C) rats were deliberately spread from their original habitat all over the world on ships D) sugar cane is one of the most difficult crops in the world to grow 32-We can infer from the passage that some animals native to the Hawaiian Islands A) feed exclusively on sugar cane B) are declining in number because of the pesticides used against the mongoose C) have been exterminated by the mongoose D) eat insects and thus help reduce damage to sugar cane 33-Compared to the rat, the mongoose…….. . A) eats more sugar cane B) increases in number more quickly C) was hunted by man in greater numbers D) causes more damage in the long run Proverbs, an important part of conversation all over Africa, contain advice on behaviour or observations on human nature. Many are entertaining because they express ideas in a surprising way. Instead of saying, "Be careful," a Ewe might say, 'The housefly does not play a sticky drum." When a Kikuyu says, 'The staring frogs do not prevent cattle from drinking," he means, "Don't worry about other people's opinions." Riddles, another common way to maintain conversation, usually take the form of a statement, not a question. So, in the riddle "People run away from her when she is pregnant, but they rejoice when she has delivered," the question "What is it?", to which the answer is "a gun, is understood. Often the riddle is intended to display the questioner's imagination rather than to test the cleverness of the audience. 34-The purpose of riddles in conversation …………… . A) is usually to challenge the person who is being asked them B) is often to show the creativity of the person saying them C) is said to be a sort of intelligence test of the audience D) be misunderstood by the speaker and the audience 35- According to the passage, in Africa, both riddles and proverbs …….. . A) are means by which conversation can be kept up B) can only be found in certain parts of the continent C) show a lack of concern for the listeners' feelings D) always describe human behaviour in animalistic terms 36- The author tells us that African proverbs……… . A)are the primary form of entertainment in most parts of Africa B)frequently surprise non-African people because they are not expected C) are used to give advice or comment on the way people act D) are the sole form of human conversation throughout Africa Download 19.5 Kb.
