Question 43 through 46: A talk by marine Biologist

Welcome to the new Bedford institutes,series of lectures on the mysteries of the sea. You may have noticed the drawing on the cover of the program for todays presentation. It depicts a sea creature that scientists have been interested in for many years . it is said that in the 19^th century a group of fisherman were surprised by seeing a huge squid that they said was a bi as a house and had enormous tentacles. The fisherman were frightenined out of their wits according to reports from that time .the creature sank back into the ocean and was never seen again. Marine bioogists believed tha this species of giant squit called Architheuhis is still exitts.. and is comes to represent how little we know about sea creatures. Compared with what we know about the animals on the land. We do know that there are many more different kinds of marine species than there are land species. But we just don’t have the technology yet to do sustained research. Even short unmanned trips are s hard to accomplish. In fact researching in the deep oceans has been compared to flying and airplane overland throwing down a net and seeing what you get. In other wods it’s very hard to picture the whole situation when that’s the way you have to get your samples. Most of what is known about deep sea creatures, which as i said is atually very little, comes from ocean beds that dried up long ago. We’re fortunate to have a few samples of these fossil remain on display on the second floor. We’ll take a look at them after a while.

43. Why where the fishermen frightened of the squid?

(A) Because of its smell.

(B) Because of its eyes.

(D) of its behavior.

44. What does the giant squid we know symbolize tobiologists?

(A) How sea animals manage to exist.

(B) How large sea animals can be.

(D) How little is we know about the sea.

45. What does the airplane example ilustrate about the deep sea reach?

(A) Why it is difficult to use aerial phoographs in research.

(B) Why oceanic research is so limited.

(D) How light is used t attract sea life.

46. Where has most of the information about rare sea creatures been found?

(A) In fossils on land.

(B) Resting on the ocean floor.

(D) In written records by early.

Question 47 through 50 : A communication Class

With the introduction of radio, newspaper publishers wondered how broadcasting would affect them.many feared that radio as a quick and easy means of keeping people informed would displace the newspaper indutry altogether.

Others hoped that the brief newscast heard on the air would stimulatelisteners interested in the story so they’d buy the paper to get more information. This second idea turn out to be closer to the truth. Radio & print were not substitutes for each other but actually supported each other. You see the relationship between different media is not always one of displacement but can be one of reinforcement. However this is not always the case. Take televison & motion pictures for example, with the popularization of TV, the motion picture industry suffered greatly. Movie attendance dropped when audience members chose to stay at home and be entertained. Likewise. When a fotball game was shown on the air, the stands were often empty because fans chose to watch the game at home.

(A) Television’s effect on the movie industry.

(B) The relationship between different media.

(B) Radio is a substitute for newspaper in people’s homes.

(D) Many newspaper reporters also work in the radio industry.

49. Accordin to the speaker, how did the introduction of television affect motion pictures?

(A) Movie attendance increased due to advertising on television.

(B) Old motion pictures were often broadcast on television.

(D) Motion pictures popularity declined.

50. Why does the speakers mention a football game?

(A) To illustrarte another effect of television.

Then, on you answer sheet, find the number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen.

Question 1-9 refer to the following passage.

Glass fibrs have a long story. The Egyptians made coarser fibers by 1600 B,C., and fibers survive as decrorations on Egyptian poterry dating back to 1375 B.C. During the Renaissance (fifteenth and sixteenth centuries A.D), glassmakers from venice used glass fibers to decorate the surface of plain glass velles. However, glassmarkers guarded their secrets so carefully that no one wrote bout glass fiber production until yhe early seventeenth century.

The eighteenth century brought the inventation of “spun glass” fibers. Rene-Antoie de Reaumur, a French scientist, tried to make artificial feathers from glass. He made fibers by rotating a wheel through a pool of molten glass, pilling threads of glass where the hot thick liquid stuck to the wheel. His fibers were short and fragile, but he predicted that spun glass fibers as thin as spide silk would be flexible and could be woven into fabric. By the start of the nineteenth century, glassmarkers learned hoe to make longer, stronger fibers by pulling them from molten glass with a hot glass tube. Inventors wound the cooling end of the thread around a yarn reel, then turned the reel rapidly to pull more fiber from the molten glass. Wandering tradespeople began to spin glass fibers at fairs, making decorations and ornaments as novelties for collectors, but this material was of little partical use; the fibers were britle, ragged, and no longer than ten feet, the circumference of the largest reels. By the mid-18070’s, however, the best glass fibers were finer than silk and could be woven into fabcrics or assembled silver; fibers drawn from yellw-orange glass looked golden.

Glass fibers were little more than a novelty until the 1930’s, when their thermal and electrical insulating properties were appreciated and methods for producting continuous filaments were developed. In the modern manufacturing process, liquid glass is fed directly from a glass-melting furnance into a bushing, a receptacle pierced with hundreds of line nozzeles, from which the liquid issues in fine streams. As they solidify, the streams of glass are gathered into a single strand and wound into a reel.

Question 10-19 refer to the following passage.

The most throughly studied cases of deception srtategies employed by ground. Nesting birds involve plovers, small birds that typically nest on beaches or in open fields, their nest merely scrapes in the sand or earth. Plovers also have an effective repertoire or trick for distracting potential nest predators from their exposed and defenseless eggs or chicks. The ever-watchful plover can detect a possible threat at a considerable distance. When she does, the nesting bird moves inconspiciously off the nest to a spot well away from eggs or chicks. At this point she may use one of several ploys. One technique involves first moving quietly toward an approaching animal and the setting off noisily through the grass or brush in a low, crouching run away from the nest, while emitting rodent like squeaks.

The effect mimics a scurrying mouse or vole, and the behavior rivets the attention of the type of predators that would also be interested in eggs and chicks. Another deception begins with quiet movement to an exposed and visible location well away from the nest. Once there, the bird pretends to incubate a brood. When the predator approaches, the parent flees, leaving the false nest to searched. The direction in which the plover “escapes” is such that if the predator chooses to follow, it will be led still further away from the true nest.

The plover’s most famous startegem is the broken-wing display, actually a continuum of injury-mimicking behaviours spanning the range from slight disability to near-complete helpnessness. One or both wings are held in an abnormal position, suggesting injury. The bird appears to be attempting escape along an irregular route that undicates panic. In the most extreme version of the display, the bird flaps one wing in an apperent attempt to take to the air, flops over helplessly ,struggles back to its feet, runs away a short distance, seemingly attempt once more to take off, flops over again as the “useless” wing fails to provide any lift, and so on. Few predators fail to purse such obviously vulnerable prey. Needless to say, each short run run between “flight attempts” is directed away from the nest.

Question 20-28 refer to the following passage.

The interrelationship of science, technology, and industry is taken for granted today-summed up, not altogether accurately, as “ research and development.” Yet historically this widespread faith the economic virtues of science is a relatively recent phonemenon, dating back in the United State about 150 years, and in the western world as a whole not over 300 years at most. Even in this current ara of large scale, intensive research and development, the interelationship involved in this process area frequently misunderstanding. Until the coming of the industial Revolution, science and technology evolved for the most part independently of each other. Then as industrialization bacame increasingly complicated, the craft techniques of preindustrial society gradually gave way to a technology based on the systematic application of scientific knowledge and scientific methods. Yhis changeover started slowly and progressed unevenly. Until late in the nineteenth century, only a few industries could use scientific techniques or cared about using them. The list expanded noticeably after 1870, but even then much of what passed for the application of science was “engineering science” rather than basic science.

Nevertheless, by the middle of the neneteenth century, the repaid expansion of scientific knowledge and of public awereness-if not understanding-of it had created a belief that the advance of science would in some unspecified manner automaticcaly generate economic benefits. The widespread and usually uncritical acceptance of this thesis led in turn to the assumption that the application of science to industrial purposes was a linear process, starting with fundamental science, then proceeding to applied science pr technology, and through tehm to industrial use. This is probably the most commomn pattern, but it is not invariable. New areas of science have been opened up and fundamental discoveries made as a result of attempts to solve a specific technical or economic problem. Conversely, scientists who mainly do basic research also serve as consultants on project that apply research in practical ways.

In sum, the science-technology- industry relationship may flow in several different ways, and the particular channel it will follow depends on the individual situation. It may at times ven be multidirectional.

In doing so, they reflected broader trends in the society, such as industrialization, evolutionary theory which emphasized the effect of the environment on humans, and the influence of science.

Realists such as Joel Chandler Harris and Ellen Glasgow depicted life in the south; Hamlin Garland described life on the Great Plains; and Srah One Jaweet about everyday life in rural New England. Another realist, Bret Harte, achieved fame with stories that portrayed local life in the California mining camps.

Other writers became impatient even with realism. Pusing evalutionary theory to its limits, they wrote 0f a world in which a cruel and merciless environment determined human fate. These writers, called naturalists, often focused on economic hardship, studying people struggling wth proverty, and other aspect of urban and industrial life. Naturalists brought to their writing a passion for direct and honest experience.

Theodore Dreiser, the foremost naturalist writer, in novels such as Sister Carrie, grimly portrayed a dark world in which human beings were tossed about by forces beyond their understabnding ofr control. Dreiser thought that wrirters should tell the truth about human affairs, not fabricate romance, and Sister Carrie, he said , was “ not intended as a piece of literary craftsmanship, but was a picture of conditions. “

Question 40-50 refer to the following passage.

The newer ones experienced remarkable growth, which reflected basic changes in the economic. The population of Lose Angeles (114,000 in 1900) rose spetacularly in the early decades of the twentieth century, increasing, a dramatic 1,400 percent from 1900 to 1930.

A nomber of circumstances contributed to the meteoric rise of Los Angeles. The argicultural potensial of the area was normous if water for irrigation could be found, and the city founders had the vision and dating to obtain it by constructing q 225-mile aqueduct, completed in 1913, to tap the water of the Owens River. The city had a superb natural harbor, as well as excellent rail connection. The climate made it possible to shoot motion pictures year-around; hence Hollywood. Hollywood not only supplied jobs; it disseminated an image of the good life in Southern California on screens all across the nation. The most important single industry powering the growth of Lose Angeles, however, was directly linked to the automobile. The demand for petroleum to fuel gasoline engines led to the opening of the Southern California oil fields, and made Lose Angeles North America’s greatest refining center.

Los Angles was a product of auto age in another sense as well: its distinctive spatial organization depended on widespread private ownership of automobilees. Los Angles was a decentralized metropolis, srawling across the desert landscape over an area of 400 aquare miles. It was a city without a real center. The downtown business district did not grow acpace with the city as a whole, and the rapid transit system designed to link the center with outlying areas withered away from disuse. Approximately 800,000 cars were registered in Los Angeles Country in 1930, one per 2.7 residents. Some visitor from the east coast were dismayed at the endless urban sprawl and dismissed Los Angles as a mere collectionof suburbs in search of a city. But the freedom and mobility of a city on wheels attracted floods of migrants to the city.
