the lunar month, following the phases of the moon as it orbits the earth; and the solar year, defined by the changing seasons that accompany our planet's revolution around the sun B Before the invention of artificial light, the moon had greater social impact And, for those living near the equator in particular, its waxing and waning was more conspicuous than the passing of the seasons Hence, the calendars that were developed at the lower latitudes were influenced more by the lunar cycle than by the solar year In more northern climes, however, where seasonal agriculture was practised, the solar year became more crucial As the Roman Empire expanded northward, it organised its activity chart for the most part around the solar year C Centuries before the Roman Empire, the Egyptians had formulated a municipal calendar having 12 months of 30 days, with five days added to approximate the solar year IELTS FIGHTER – TRUNG TÂM LUYỆN THI IELTS HÀNG ĐẦU VIỆT NAM TRUNG TÂM LUYỆN THI IELTS Fighter website: ielts-fighter.com Each period of ten days was marked by the appearance of special groups of stars called decans At the rise of the star Sirius just before sunrise, which occurred around the allimportant annual flooding of the Nile, 12 decans could be seen spanning the heavens The cosmic significance the Egyptians placed in the 12 decans led them to develop a system in which each interval of darkness (and later, each interval of daylight) was divided into a dozen equal parts These periods became known as temporal hours because their duration varied according to the changing length of days and nights with the passing of the seasons Summer hours were long, winter ones short; only at the spring and autumn equinoxes were the hours of daylight and darkness equal Temporal hours, which were first adopted by the Greeks and then the Romans, who disseminated them through Europe, remained in use for more than 2,500 years D In order to track temporal hours during the day, inventors created sundials, which indicate time by the length or direction of the sun's shadow The sundial's counterpart, the water clock, was designed to measure temporal hours at night One of the first water clocks was a basin with a small hole near the bottom through which the water dripped out The falling water level denoted the passing hour as it dipped below hour lines inscribed on the inner surface Although these devices performed satisfactorily around the Mediterranean, they could not always be depended on in the cloudy and often freezing weather of northern Europe E The advent of the mechanical clock meant that although it could be adjusted to maintain temporal hours, it was naturally suited to keeping equal ones With these, however, arose the question of when to begin counting, and so, in the early 14th century, a number of systems evolved The schemes that divided the day into 24 equal parts varied according to the start of the count: Italian hours began at sunset, Babylonian hours at sunrise, astronomical hours at midday and 'great clock' hours, used for some large public clocks in Germany, at midnight Eventually these were superseded by 'small clock', or French, hours, which split the day into two 12-hour periods commencing at midnight F The earliest recorded weight-driven mechanical clock was built in 1283 in Bedfordshire in England The revolutionary aspect of this new timekeeper was neither the descending weight that provided its motive force nor the gear wheels (which had been around for at least 1,300 years) that transferred the power; It was the part called the escapement In the early 1400s came the invention of the coiled spring or fusee which maintained constant force to the gear wheels of the timekeeper despite the changing tension of its mainspring By the 16th century, a pendulum clock had been devised, but the pendulum swung in a large arc and thus was not very efficient IELTS FIGHTER – TRUNG TÂM LUYỆN THI IELTS HÀNG ĐẦU VIỆT NAM TRUNG TÂM LUYỆN THI IELTS Fighter website: ielts-fighter.com G To address this, a variation on the original escapement was invented in 1670, in England It was called the anchor escapement, which was a lever-based device shaped like a ship's anchor The motion of a pendulum rocks this device so that it catches and then releases each tooth of the escape wheel, in turn allowing it to turn a precise amount Unlike the original form used in early pendulum clocks, the anchor escapement permitted the pendulum to travel in a very small arc Moreover, this invention allowed the use of a long pendulum which could beat once a second and thus led to the development of a new floorstanding case design, which became known as the grandfather clock H Today, highly accurate timekeeping instruments set the beat for most electronic devices Nearly all computers contain a quartz-crystal clock to regulate their operation Moreover, not only time signals beamed down from Global Positioning System satellites calibrate the functions of precision navigation equipment, they so as well for mobile phones, instant stock-trading systems and nationwide power-distribution grids So integral have these time-based technologies become to day-to-day existence that our dependency on them is recognised only when they fail to work Questions 1-4 Reading Passage has eight paragraphs, A-H Which paragraph contains the following information?
