1.Visits of Royalty are, as a rule, of merely temporary interest. They fill the picture for the time, and in the olden days they never failed to empty the treasury of whatever town had the honour to entertain them. The present, which it was the town’s custom to give to a royal visitor, consisted usually of a sum of money, with sweetmeats added if the visitor was a queen or had a sweet tooth.
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
What problem does the writer say royal visits used to cause?
•It was difficult to provide appropriate food.
• People soon began to find them rather boring.
•Lots of places competed to host royalty.
•They were expensive for their hosts.
3.For centuries, no-one gave kids a second thought. At least, that was the belief of French social historian Philippe Aries, who in the 1960s put forward the startling proposal that childhood was a relatively recent invention. According to Aries and his disciples, children in the Middle Ages were considered mini-adults, no cuter or more fragile than the full-sized version and therefore deserving of no special treatment. Not until the 17th and 18th centuries were they recognised as endearing little creatures in need of nurturing and protection. Harvard University professor Steven Ozment presents a very different picture in his 2001 book Ancestors. Marshalling evidence ranging from legal records to private letters, Ozment argues persuasively that men and women throughout history have cherished their offspring. But there’s no doubt we are clingier than we used to be. In 18th-century Western Europe, wealthy families routinely sent their infants away to be raised by wet-nurses for the first several years of their lives. Well into the 20th century, British couples who could afford to do so opted out of day-to-day childrearing altogether, gladly handing their kids to nannies and boarding schools.
Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
By reference to this text, which of the following views of childhood can be ascribed to Steven Ozment?
• Parents have always treasured their children.
• Until recently, no-one gave “childhood” a second thought.
• The practice of sending children to boarding schools is a distinctly modern approach to child rearing.
• It was not until the 17th and 18th centuries that children received special attention.
• During the Middle Ages children were treated just like any other adult.
• Compared to previous eras, parents are now more attached to their children.

Normally in Delhi, September is a month of almost equatorial fertility, and the lands seems refreshed and newly-washed.
But in the year of our arrival, after a parching summer, the monsoon rains had lasted for only three weeks.
Nevertheless, the air was still sticky with damp-heat, and it was in a cloud of perspiration that we began to unpack.
As a result, dust was everywhere. The city’s trees and flowers all looked as if they had been lightly sprinkled with talcum powder.

The common understanding of genius is that you’re either born with it or not. This picture is so that it has come to the way we educate children. Trouble is, the thinking is wrong – so, if we are to believe a growing body of evidence from the cognitive sciences.

An individual’s propensity to take risks is influenced by their own experience and that of others. The key feature in risk taking is the balancing of perceptions of the risk and the possible rewards, and this balance may be a reflection of an individual’s particular type of personality.

The increased importance of scientific knowledge in society has led to a increase in respect for scientific evidence. In order to be as sound, rational or it is important that a claim is thought to be ‘scientifically founded’. We give claims by science more credibility than we allow other kinds of claims, and anyone with a product to sell, or a claim about the universe to make, will seek to support their with ‘scientific evidence’.

The wondrously intricate tile mosaics that adorn medieval Islamic architecture are disguising a mastery of geometry not matched in the West for hundreds of years, according to new research. For a long time, historians _______that sheer hard work with the equivalent of a ruler and compass allowed medieval craftsmen to create the ornate star-and-polygon tile patterns that cover mosques, shrines and other buildings from Turkey to India. Now a Harvard University researcher_______that more than 500 years ago, long before Western scholars gained a good understanding of geometry, mathematicians in the Islamic world met up with the artists and began creating far more complex tile patterns that culminated in what mathematicians today call “quasi-crystalline designs,” which did not appear in the West until the 1970s. Quasi-crystals_______by fitting together a set of shapes into patterns that, unlike typical tile floors, don’t repeat. In an article published by the journal Science, Peter J. Lu and Paul Steinhardt report finding a set of polygon-shaped tiles – decagon, pentagon, diamond, bowtie and hexagon – that_______into distinctive patterns found on major Islamic buildings from the 12th through 15th centuries.

If climate change continues unabated, the plight of Bangladesh, which wages an annual battle against floods, provides a grim lesson for many other parts of the world. It will lose the war against_______water.
“If the sea level_______are true, parts of the country will simply disappear,” said Jo Scheuer, deputy country director of the United Nations Development Programme in India.
Most parts of Bangladesh are less than 10m above sea level, so rising seas coupled with storm surges could put large parts of the population and agricultural land under_______of severe flooding. The toll would be catastrophic for a country where half the population lives below the poverty line.
South and east Asia, including Vietnam, Bangladesh, India and parts of China, including Shanghai, will be most_______to climate change because of their large coastal populations in low-lying areas, according to the UK International Institute for Environment and Development.

The past year has offered me an incomparable chance to catch up with biologists, to fill in gaps in my methodological_______and to pick up essentials in neuroscience (the area I am specializing in). Hence the previous months have been packed with new information and I have enjoyed learning most of it.
On the other side, I realize that the_______of ignorance on which we base our experimental assumptions is frightening. Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field. Yet there still comes a point when, for example, a molecular biologist cannot achieve his goal because he doesn’t know a new imaging_______; or a zoologist’s experiment fails because she hasn’t used the latest physiological data on a certain brain function. That’s why I sometimes feel discouraged; I am looking for a needle in the haystack but the haystack grows bigger everyday. But that’s also the fun of science. The_______line is that the interdisciplinary nature of science is essential and I was blessed to have been_______in this spirit over the last year.

One of the crazier ideas for dealing with global warming is to sprinkle the oceans with iron filings. One reason the sea (unlike the land) is not covered with plants is that it lacks_______nutrients – iron, in particular. Add iron, the theory goes, and you will promote the growth of algae. These will_______carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then conveniently sink when they die. Thus, over the course of a few decades, the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere will return to pre-industrial levels. Presto! Problem solved.
The law of unintended_______argues against doing any such thing, of course. However, an experiment carried out a decade ago in the Southern Ocean suggests that the underlying idea is sound – and at a conference in Oxford this week, John Munford, an independent British researcher, suggested that a more_______version of the “fertilise the oceans” project might indeed help to stop climate change.
Mr Munford’s proposal is to harvest the algae, rather than allowing them to die and sink. He notes that many species of algae_______a far denser punch energy-wise than the plants now used as energy crops. In particular, they produce oils, of the sort valued as biodiesel, and are attracting a lot of attention from scientists and entrepreneurs looking for fuels to replace mineral oils.

It is not that the view of man as an individual is more or less misleading than the view of him as a member of the group. It is the attempt to draw a_______between the two which is misleading. The individual is by_______a member of a society, or probably of more than one society – call it group, class, tribe, nation or what you will. Early biologists were_______to classify species of birds, beasts and fishes in cages, aquariums and showcases, and did not seek to study the living creature in_______to its environment. Perhaps the social sciences today have not yet fully_______from that primitive stage.
