The Royal Society is the national academy of science for Great Britain and Northern Ireland but, unlike other national academies, is and always has been independent of state control; it is not maintained by grants from public funds and manages its own affairs. Since its foundation however, kings, statesmen and government departments have regularly sought its advice on scientific matters; it has never hesitated to assist governments when convinced that the national interest called for official scientific action. Within ten years of its foundation the society, at the invitation of Charles II and his ministers, grappled with problems of national food supply, arboriculture, naval architecture and navigation. Throughout the 18th century it worked with the admiralty on what was then called “the problem of the longitude” in the solution of which are associated the names of the astronomers Edmond Halley and Nevil Maskelyne. The chronometer maker John Harrison and the navigator James Cook. It found a cure for jail-fever and advised on the protection of ships of war against lightning; it organized a geodetic survey of the British lsles and appointed scientific personnel to several arctic and antarctic expedition.

The first flight by a power driven manned aeroplane took place in 1903 and its subsequent development as a military weapon was so rapid that all the belligerents entered World War I totally unprepared to defend themselves against it. The first bombing raids, however, compelled the onsideration of anti-aircraft measures, and Britain, in particular, attacked by Zeppelin airships and Gotha aircraft was forced to develop a range of specialized anti-aircraft equipment. which came to include guns, searchlights, sound-locators and predictors, giving it a qualitative ascendancy in this field retained until the end of World War II. Indeed. the first night attack on London caused such public consternation that its gun defences had to be doubled within forty-eight hours and, though they hit few planes, their presence was of great psychological value.

B) the absolute necessity of defending herself from bombing raids
C) because scientists realized that they had to keep ahead in this field or the country's moral would drop
0) that a great deal of research into predictors had already been carried out
E) that the noise made by the Gennan Zeppelins was easy to recognize and locate

Scientists can now speed up the process of genetic cnange through biotechnology. Farmers need no longer wait patiently for breeding to yield improved crops and animals, nor must they even respect natural lines of reproduction among species. Laboratory scientists can now select desirable traits from any of a number of species and insert those traits into the genetic material of crops and animals. Among the new products of biotechnology are tomatoes that stay fresh much longer than the usual ones and so promise less waste and higher profits. Normally, tomatoes produce a protein that softens them after they have been picked. Scientists introduce into a tomato plant a gene that is a mirror image of the one that codes for the "softening" enzyme. This gene fastens itself to the RNA of the native gene and blocks its action. A vine-ripe tomato with this special gene rots more slowly than a normal tomato, allowing growers to harvest at the most flavourful and nutritious red stage. The tomatoes will still last much longer during shipping and magketing than regular tomatoes harvested when green.

To obtain power from the sun's rays is to use nuclear power developed at no expense in a laboratory 93 million miles away. For the radiant energy of the sun is maintained by nuclear transformation of chemical elements occurring in the sun's interior at temperatures of many million degrees, and at pressures of many million atmospheres. The resources of solar power are enormous. If 100 per cent efficiency could be secured in the transformation of radiant solar energy into mechanical work, a horsepower per square yard of ground surface would be available under cloudless skies. The expense of collecting solar energy still prevents its competition with the usual power sources .Yet, unless thevague promise of safe thermonuclear power from oceans becomes realized, solar power must supply the enormous and growing requirements of posterity within two centuries. Because the ground sources (coal, oil and uranium) as they near exhaustion will become more costly than solar power.

66. The writer of the passage regards the sun _________________ .

A) as both the largest and the cheapest source of power
B) as an inefficient source of energy as cloud prevents it from being effective
C) as offering little more in the way of energy for the future than thermonuclear power
D) as a far distant laboratory that produces nuclear power
E) as a source of power too vast and dangerous to be tampered with or used

67. According to the passage, solar energy is not presently used on a large scale _____________ .

A) since it could constitute a threat to the environment
B) as even on cloudless days it cannot be made to yield a great deal of power
C) even though it can be harnessed with 100 per cent efficiency
D) since the harnessing of thermonuclear power from the oceans is felt to be more profitable
E) because the expense of harnessing it is not economically viable

68. The passage ceintains a warning that _______________ .

A)such ground sources of energy as coal pit~ Oil will be used up by the next generation
B) solar energy could pro'ie dangerous as it is a form of nuclear enegy
C) future ages may have no option but the sun's rays to meet their energy requirements
D) thermonuclear power from oceans could prove even more costly than solar power
E) the costs of harnessing solar power are not likely to be reduced

The design of ships is governed by scientific principles and economic considerations but in practice it has many of the qualities of an art The designer may be supplied with the precise and detailed requirements of an owner or he may receive only the barest outline of requirements such as the weight of cargo to be carried and the speed. The dimensions chosen and the main characteristics of the ship are governed by the trade in which the vessel is to compete. High-density cargoes such as iron ore require little cubic capacity; lowdensity cargoes such as bananas require vast cubic capacity. The ports which the vessel must enter may impose restrictions on length and draught. Passage through canals may restrict both draught and breadth. The nature of the cargo may determine the size of cargo holds and of the hatchways through which the cargo is loaded and unloaded. Available facilities at the ports to be entered affect the loading and unloading apparatus to be installed in the vessel.

69. We understand from the passage that the siza of a ship ________________ .

A) needs to be large if it is to have high-density cargoes
B) will reflect the type of goods to be carried
C) is unimportant so long as it does not have to pass through canals
D) has relatively little bearing upon its cost
E) affects the system of loading and unloading of the cargo

70. It is clear from the passage that, when a ship is being ordered the designer is often given a lot of freedom in the type of design, but he will expect to be told ____________ .

A) something about what it is to carry and how fast it is to travel
B) the type of loading and unloading apparatus to install
C) something about the route it will normally follow
D) the exact dimensions that are required
E) exactly how big the cargo holds should be

71. Accordinqto the passage, a great many factors have to be considered in the design of a ship ______ .

A) of which economic matters are the least important
B) and no designer is prepared to accept just a simple outline of requirements
C) but one of the least important is the cubic capacity needed for the cargo
D) including regulations ahd conditions in the ports it will call in at
E) in particular the relationship between length and breadth

The definition of erosion given in this passage
Erosion is regarded not merely as the physical removal of soil by water and wind, but rather as the deterioration of all the component parts of the habitat in which man and his crops and livestock have to exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence for any major climatic change in historic times to explain this deterioration, we must conclude that the eroding of the total environment has been due primarily to thoughtless destruction of the vegetative cover. This has led to deterioration of the microclirnate above and below the surface, generally in the direction of a general drying out of the soil which has exposed it to erosive action of wind and rainfall of high intensity or frequency, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, thus reducing its capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the surface. If everything possible is done within the total environment to conserve the naturally planted or cultivated vegetation, this will also ensure optimal conservation of soil and water.

72. It is argued in the passage that the impoverishment of the world's habitat _______________ .

A) It is first and foremost due to man's irresponsible
abuse of the vegetable cover of the earth
B) is largely due to gradual changes in climate over long years
C) became inevitale as soon as agricultural and animal husbandry developed
D) cannot be remedied
E) has been needlessly exaggerated

73. The defination of erosion given in this passage _____________.

A) is a strictly regional one
B) disregards man's role in it
C) concentrates on flooding
D) assumes that the process is inevitable
E) is a broad one

74. It is pointed out in the passage that the loss of organic matter in the soil _____________ .

A) led to the destruction of the world's vegetative cover
B) is a direct result of insufficient rain
C) is an irreversible process
D) has made the soil more susceptible to erosion
E) came about through overplanting which robbed the soil of nutrients

The world's nuclear plants have accumulated vast stocks of highly radioactive waste. Worldwide, high-level waste is currently stored above ground, and no government has a clear policy on its eventual disposal. While most experts believe that burying the waste is the safest bet in the long term, the problem is finding sites that everyone can agree are geologically stable. Decaying radioactive isotopes release heat. As a result, high-level waste must be constantly cooled, otherwise, it becomes dangerously hot. This is why many experts want to store waste above ground until it has decayed and is cool enough to be stored safely in sealed repositories several hundreds of metres below ground. According to one recent theory, however, waste should be lowered down boreholes drilled to 4 kilometres. The trick is to exploit heat generated by the waste to fuse the surrounding rock and contain any leaking radioactivity

75. It is clear from the passage that the safe disposal of radioactive waste ____________ .

A) has been satisfactorily dealt with by scientists in conjunction with governments
B) is a problem that each government must decide on for its own country
C) remains a global problem of great magnitude %
D) is a problem that has not attracted enough attention
E) will in all likelihood soon be resolved, and a clear policy agreed on by concened governments

76.As it is pointed out in the passage, many exports are of the opinion that radioactive waste ________.

A) should never be stored underground as it can not then be monitored
B) should not be stored underground while the radioactive isotopes continue to let off
substantial amounts of heat
C) does not require to be cooled when stored above ground
D) cannot be safely disposed of anywhere and the problem of what to do with it intensifies as the
amount increases
E) can be safely left to cool down underground in sealed repositories

77. The passage describes a new method, still only a theoretical one, for the disposal of raddioactive waste, _______________- .

A) which uses bore holes so that all sites are suitable
B) at a depth considerably less than that normally recommended but the chosen site must meet certain geological requirements
C) which, unfortunately, increases the time needed for cooling the waste before final disposal
D) in which the radioactive isotopes are prevented from releasing heat
E) whereby the heat produced by that waste will serve to seal it safeiy into the rock under which it
has been buried

Sounds produced by continous vibration tones are spreadas waves of compression through the air. Where there is a solid boudnary such as the walls of a room the sound waves are reflected so that the sounds within the room are prolonged beyond what they would be in the open. The sounds produced by the voice or by a musical instrument then reverberate through the room after the actual tone production has ceased. When the sound waves strike the walls some of the sound energy travels on and is either absorbed in the material or may penetrate to the other side; but with the usual hard, unyielding walls of which most buildings are made, more than 90% of the sound energy is reflected back into tte room at each impact, so that some time must elapse before all is spent. It is this reverberation which, in its excess, is the prime cause of the faulty acoustos of many pre 20th century buildings.

78. We understand from the passage that reverberation ________________ .

A) is never taken into account in questions of acoustics
B) is less obvious in an enclosed space
C) occurs within an enclosed space such as a room
D) is of equally short duration both indoors and outdoors
E) has duration equal to that of the tone production

79.It is emphasized if the passage that, until the 20th century ______________ .

A) the sounds produced by musical instruments could not be properly controlled
B) there was among scientists, a great deal of controversy as regards the importance of reverberation
C) there was an unaccountable deficiency of reverberation in ever major building
D) good acoustics were absent in the majority of buildings
E) acoustics were a primary concern in the design of all buildings

80.It is explained in the passage that only a very small percetage of the sound waves ________ .

A) can pass through a wall made of firm and resistant material
B) does actually travel back towards its source at each impact
C) can be accurately measured for acoustic purposes
D) has a damaging effect upon the acoustics of a room
E) can last longer than the actual tone-production itself
