61 Questions 61-64:

The returning boomerang is constructed in such a way that it sails on a circular trajectory and returns to the thrower A trained hunter can throw a boomerang so that it will sweep up to a height of 50 feet,

complete a circle 50 feet in diameter, and then spin along several smaller, iterative circles before it lands near the thrower Experts can make boomerangs ricochet off the ground, circle, and come back Hunters use them to drive birds into nets by making the boomerangs spin above the flock sufficiently high to fool the birds into reacting to it as if it were a predator Ordinarily, a returning boomerang is 12 to 30 inches long, 1 to

3 inches wide, and less than half an inch thick Its notorious pointed ends are not honed enough to allow the boomerang to serve as a weapon or to

be even remotely threatening

By contrast, the nonreturning boomerang is substantially heavier and can be used as a weapon This type of boomerang is made to be 3 to 5 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 feet long, and may weigh up to 2 pounds The power with which the boomerang hits its target is sufficient to kill or maim either an animal or a foe All boomerangs are hurled in the same manner The thrower grasps one end, pointing both ends outward Having positioned the boomerang above and behind the shoulder, the thrower propels it toward with a snapping wrist motion to give it a twirl The quality of the inial twirl conveys the propulsion to the weapon and provides its distinctive momentum

61 The author of the passage implies that throwing boomerangs creates a circular air channel near the ground

can be useful in devising sailing trajectories

entails skill and requires practiced coordination

makes them pause in mid-air before they rise to a certain height

62 According to the passage, the boomerang can be used to

the propulsion of its ends

the power of the thrower

64 The author of the passage implies that boomerangs

can disarm an energy

can locate a target

are alike in shape

are monumental in flight

65 Questions 65-69:

Almon Strowger, an American engineer, constructed the first automatic telephone switching system, which had a horizontal, bladelike contact arm, in 1891 The first commercial switchboard based on his invention opened in La Porte, Indiana, a year later and was an instant success with business users To access the system, the caller pressed buttons to reach the desired number and turned the handle to activate the telephone ringer During the same year, Strowger's step-by-step call advancement technology was implemented in the long-distance service between New York and Chicago when it proved to have the capacity of carrying

signals through cable-joint extensions

The first actual dial telephones, patented by Lee De Forest in 1907, were installed in Milwaukee in 1896 In 1912, their sound transmittal

apparatus adapted an electronic tube to function as an amplifier

Transatlantic radio-telephone service linked New York and London in

1927 However, the long distance coaxial cable which was hailed as unprecedented, came on the scene in 1936 connecting New York and Philadelphia The Bell Laboratories research facility came up with the transistor to replace the cumbersome vacuum tube, thus diminishing the size of the electronic switch system to about 10 per cent of that of the original Crossbar switching, installed in terminals in 1938, operated on the principle of an electromagnetic force, which rotated horizontal and

vertical bars within a rectangular frame and brought contacts together

in a split second A technological break-through in the form of underseas cables between the United States and Hawaii was implemented almost twenty years later An extension was connected to Japan in 1964

65 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

The Patent History of the Telephone

A link between Research and Technology

The Telephone: A Technological Fantasy

The Developing Sophistication of the Telephone

66 It can be inferred from the passage that initially telephones

utilized human operators

did not have a bell

were limited to businesses

revitalized business in La Porte, Indiana

67 Why did Strowger's switchboard find application in long-distance lines?

It could carry connections through cable extensions

It could handle a large volume of simultaneous calls

It required the caller to activate switches

It was prevalent in commercial enterprises

68 How did Lee De Forest improve the existing telephone?

He integrated the mouthpiece and the receiver

He modified a pipe to transmit sound

He created a device to boost the reception quality

He made implementation of the dial system possible

69 The author of the passage implies that telephone networks expanded because of

a series of breakthroughs

the work of a few inventors

multiple technical blunders

staunch public and private support

70 Questions 70-74:

Many people think there is no need to take special care over home

security

" I'm all right, I'm insured"

Maybe - if you're fully insured EVen then you can never recover the real value you place upon your possessions But you can't insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if our homes are torn aprt by some stranger Our windows and doors smashed, our precious

possessions ruined

"It won't happen to me"

Won't it? A home is broken into every minute or so of the day Thefts of all kinds, including cars and property stolen from cars, happen twice as frequently

"I've nothing worth stealing"

You may think not But in fact everyone has something worth a thief's attention And we all have things of special value to us even if they're worth little or nothing in cash terms

"I'm only a tenant here"

The thief doesn't care whether you're a tenant or an owner-occupier You're just as likely to be robbed Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra locks and fastenings are necessary

"They'll get in anyway"

Most thieves are on the lookout for easy jobs They are soon discouraged

by houses they can't get into quickly and easily So it's worth taking care This booklet will help you -

It's based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought A few may involve some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and unhappiness you might otherwise suffer

If you are in doubt, ask for free advice from teh crime Prevention Office

at your local police station

70 Why should you still worry about protecting your possessions when you have insured them?

You tend to undervalue your possessions

You cannot insure against damage to property

A robbery can ruin your happiness at home

It takes a long time to recover all your money

71 What should a tenant do if he is worried about the security of his home?

fit new locks on all the doors

discuss the matter with the owner

complain to the police

increase his own insurance

72 The advertisement says that most thieves

prefer stealing from offices

like causing a lot of damage

will break in anywhere they want to

are put off by good security arrangements

73 It seems that many people think that

the police will protect them from thieves

their houses ought to be more secure

thieves will not choose to steal from them

thieves only steal from house-owners

74 This advertisement for a booklet aims to influence people who have had their houses broken into

are not properly insured

are afraid of what thieves might do

have not thought much about security

75 Questions 75-78:

I hated almost every day of my time at boarding school and, in any case,

my first term was a disaster I found it very difficult to settle down and

my unhappiness was made worse because I was also unhappy at home A happy home life gives you a base from which you can go into the world with confidence But if life at home is difficult, life away at boarding- school is almost impossible Apart from having to keep a great many rules and customs, many of which seemed to me stupid, we were never allowed to be alone You had to be with another boy at all times I am extremely dependent on being alone part of every day, so daily life at school was very hard for me, though the other boys managed fairly well

In the middle of the first term, I developed a cough The school nurse

said it was a " stomach cough", whatever that may be, and gave me some pills However, afterwards, playing football in a snowstorm, I suddenly could not breathe properly and was taken to hospital ill with bronchitis and pneumonia Almost at once I was put into a small room with another boy who was also very ill He died and I nearly did My main memory of

my stay at the hospital was that the night-nurses used to get together in

my rooms and played cards and chat Keeping the light on and keepping

me awake when I was seriously ill didn't bother them When I had

recovered I was sent home for a few weeks and missed a term

When I returned to school, I was sent to bed early because of my illness, and so managed to get a brief period alone every day Later on, when I went into the Senior part of the school, I was allowed to go to the school library by myself, which was a great improvement

The day I left the school, the headmaster said goodbye and asked

whether it was a sad day for me I replied that it was the happiest day of

my life He said I would come to think of my time at the school very differently I said I was sure that I would not Though I have had

unhappy days since that day, I have found that my conclusions then - that nothing afterwards could ever be so bad as boarding school - have been proved true

75 The author's illness during teh first term was

so serious he nearly died

caused by getting cold when playing games

not so bad as he had feared

not treated by the school nurse

76 In the hospital he

felt very sorry for the other patients
