by figuring Q21.2.................... in the tapestry's later scenes. Legends connecting it with William's
wife Mathilda have been Q21.3.....................
The Bayeux tapestry is not, Q21.4.................... speaking, a tapestry, in which designs are woven into
the fabric, but rather a crewel form of embroidery, the pictures being made by stitching woolen
threads into a background of plain linen. The threads, in Q21.5.................... of red, yellow, blue, and

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Atomic was once thought to be fundamental pieces of matter, but they are in turn made of smaller
subatomic particles. There are three major subatomic particles neutrons, protons, and electronics.
Protons and neutrons can be broken into even smaller units, but these smaller units do not occur
naturally in nature and are thought to only be produced in manmade particle accelerators and
perhaps in extreme stellar events like supernovas. The structure of an atom can best be described as
a small solar system, with the neutrons at the center and the electrons circling them in various
orbits, just as the planets circle the sun. In reality, the structure of an atom is far more complex,
because the laws of physics are fundamentally different at the atomic level than at the level of the
observable world. The true nature of the atomic structure can only be expressed accurately through
complex mathematical formulas. This explanation, however, is of little use to most average people.
Protons and neutrons have nearly equal mass and size, but protons carry a positive electrical charge,
while neutrons carry no charge at all. Protons and neutrons are bound together by the strong nuclear
force, one of the four basic forces in the universe. Protons and neutrons give atoms some of their
most basic properties. Elements are defined by two numbers: their atomic number, which is equal to
the number of protons they have, and their atomic weight, which is equal to the total number of
their neutrons and protons. In most lighter atoms, the number of neutrons and protons is equal, and
the element is stable. In heavier atoms, however, there are more neutrons than protons, and the
element is unstable, eventually losing neutrons through radioactive decay until a neutral state is
reached.
Electrons are negatively charged particles. They are bound to their atoms through
the electromagnetic attraction. Opposite electrical charges attract one another, so the positive charge
of the proton helps to keep the negatively charged electron in orbit around the nucleus of the atom.
Electrons are different from neutrons in that they cannot be broken down into smaller particles.
They are also far smaller and lighter than neutrons and protons. An electron is about one-
thousandth of the diameter of a proton and an even smaller fraction of its mass. Electrons circle the
protons and neutrons at the center of the atom in orbits. These orbits are often called electron shells.
The closer the orbit is to the center of the atom, the lower its energy is. There are seven electron
shells, and each higher level can hold more electrons than the previous shell. Electrons naturally
seek to occupy the lowest shell possible. So, if there is space in a lower shell, an electron will drop
down to occupy that space. At temperatures higher than a few hundred degrees, electrons will gain
energy and move to a higher shell, but only momentarily. When the electrons drop back down to
their natural shell, they emit light. This is why fires and other very hot objects seem to glow.
Electrons are also primarily responsible for many of the chemical properties of atoms. Since
electrons seek to occupy the lowest electron shell possible, they will move from one atom to
another if there is a space available in a lower electron shell. For example, if there is an atom with an
open space in its third shell, and it comes into contact with an atom with electrons in its fourth shell,
the first atom will take one of these electrons to complete its third shell. When this happens, the two
atoms will be chemically bonded to form a molecule. Furthermore, atoms sometimes lose electrons
in collisions with other atoms. When this happens, the ratio of protons and electrons in the atom
changes, and therefore, the overall electrical charge of the atom changes as well. These atoms are
called isotopes, and they have significantly different chemical properties from their parent atoms.

Question 30 (Question ID: 13-208566)
Fill each of the following blanks with ONE suitable word.
INDOOR AIR POLLUTION
The citizens of major European countries think the Q30.1.................... of climate change such as
severe floods and storms are already affecting them, according to a major new polling study. The
research dispels the idea that global warming is widely seen as a future problem, and also shows
strong support for action to tackle global warming, Q30.2.................... subsidies for clean energy
and big financial penalties for nations that refuse to be part of the international climate deal signed
in Paris in 2015 — Q30.3.................... US President Donald Trump has threatened.
There was also strong support for giving financial Q30.4.................... to developing nations to cope
with the impacts of climate change. Renewable energy was viewed very positively in all nations, but
fracking had little support, with just 20% of people seeing it positively in the UK, 15% in Germany,
and 9% in France. Nuclear power was also unpopular: only 23% of those in France,
Q30.5.................... it supplies the vast majority of electricity, have a favorable opinion.
Overwhelming majorities of people in the UK, Germany, France, and Norway said climate change
was at Q30.6.................... partly caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels. But only a
third thought the vast majority of scientists agreed with this, despite about 97% of climate scientists
doing so. "It is encouraging to see that most people in this very large study recognize that climate
change is happening and that support for the need to tackle - it remains high Q30.7.................... the
people we surveyed," said Prof Nick Pidgeon at Cardiff University, who led the international project.
He said the firm backing of the public could be important in the light of Trump's opposition to
climate action: "Q30.8.................... the recently shifting political mood in some countries, climate
policy is now entering a critical phase. It is therefore even Q30.9.................... important that the
public's clear support for the Paris agreement is carried Q30.10.................... by policymakers Europe
and worldwide."

One of the most poisonous animals know to man is the poison arrow frog, native to Central and
South America. Secreting poison through its skin, a single touch is enough to kill a fully grown
human (in fact, the frog earned its name from the practice of putting tiny amounts of this poison
onto blow darts used by the native population mainly for hunting and, historically at least, also for
battle). It is interesting to note, however, that when bred in captivity, the dart frog is not actually
poisonous – it generates its protection from its diet of poisonous ants, centipedes and mites.
Another poisonous creature is the puffer fish, which is actually served as a delicacy in Japan.
Although not aggressive or externally dangerous, its extremely high levels of toxicity cause rapid
paralysis and death when ingested, and there is at this point no known antidote, hence preparation
of puffer fish (called ‘fugu’ in Japan) is restricted only to licensed chefs. In the last ten years, it has
been estimated that over 40 people have been killed by fugu poisoning due to incorrect preparation
of the fish.
Although there are many hundreds, even thousands of poisonous fauna, the number of venomous
animals on the planet far exceeds their number, perhaps the most well-known of which are snakes
and spiders. In the snake world, the most lethal is the Inland Taipan. Able to kill up to 100 humans
with the intensity of the toxin in one bite, it can cause death in as little as 45 minutes. Fortunately,
they are not only very shy when it comes to human contact, there is also a known antivenin (cure),
although this needs to be administered quickly. In the arachnid world, the spider that has been
identified as being the most venomous is the Brazilian wandering spider. It is responsible for the
most number of human deaths of any spider, but perhaps more alarmingly it is true to its name,
hiding during daytime in populated areas, such as inside houses, clothes, footwear and cars.
When scientifically calculating the most venomous, there are two points which are considered: how
many people can be killed with one ounce of the toxin, and how long it takes for death to occur.
Without doubt, the overall winner in this category is the box jellyfish. Found mainly in waters in the
Indo-Pacific area, they are notorious in Australia and have even been seen as far south as New
Zealand. The box jellyfish has tentacles that can be as long as 10 feet (hence their other name ‘Fire
Medusae’ after Medusa, a mythological character who had snakes for hair). Each tentacle has
billions of stinging cells, which, when they come into contact with others, can shoot a poisonous
barb from each cell. These barbs inject toxins which attack the nervous system, heart and skin cells,
the intense pain of which can cause human victims to go in shock, drown or die of heart failure
before even reaching shore.

may be required more than once.
Climate Change: Instant Expert
A. Climate change is with us. A decade ago, it was conjecture. Now the future is unfolding before
our eyes. Canada's Inuit see it in disappearing Arctic ice and permafrost. The shantytown dwellers
of Latin America and Southern Asia see it in lethal storms and floods. Europeans see it in
disappearing glaciers, forest fires and fatal heat waves. Scientists see it in tree rings, ancient coral
and bubbles trapped in ice cores. These reveal that the world has not been as warm as it is now for a
millennium or more. The three warmest years on record have all occurred since 1998; 19 of the
warmest 20 since 1980. And Earth has probably never warmed as fast as in the past 30 years--a
period when natural influences on global temperatures, such as solar cycles and volcanoes should
have cooled us down.
B. Climatologists reporting for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) say we
are seeing global warming caused by human activities. People are causing the change by burning
nature's vast stores of coal, oil and natural gas. This releases billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide
(CO2) every year, although the changes may actually have started with the dawn of agriculture, say
some scientists. The physics of the "greenhouse effect" has been a matter of scientific fact for a
century. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps the Sun's radiation within the troposphere, the lower
atmosphere. It has accumulated along with other manmade greenhouse gases, such as methane and
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Some studies suggest that cosmic rays may also be involved in
warming.
C. If current trends continue, we will raise atmospheric CO2 concentrations to double pre-industrial
levels during this century. That will probably be enough to raise global temperatures by around 2℃
to 5℃. Some warming is certain, but the degree will be determined by cycles involving melting ice,
the oceans, water vapour, clouds and changes to vegetation. Warming is bringing other
unpredictable changes. Melting glaciers and precipitation are causing some rivers to overflow, while
evaporation is emptying others. Diseases are spreading. Some crops grow faster while others see
yields slashed by disease and drought. Clashes over dwindling water resources may cause conflicts
in many regions.
D. As natural ecosystems - such as coral reefs - are disrupted, biodiversity is reduced. Most species
cannot migrate fast enough to keep up, though others are already evolving in response to warming.
Thermal expansion of the oceans, combined with melting ice on land, is also raising sea levels. In
this century, human activity could trigger an irreversible melting of the Greenland ice sheet. This
would condemn the world to a rise in sea level of six metres - enough to flood land occupied by
12
billions of people.
E. The global warming would be more pronounced if it were not for sulphur particles and other
pollutants that shade us, and because forests and oceans absorb around half of the CO2 we
produce. But the accumulation rate of atmospheric CO2 has doubled since 2001, suggesting that
nature's ability to absorb the gas could now be stretched to the limit. Recent research suggests that
natural CO2 "sinks", like peat bogs and forests, are actually starting to release CO2.
F. At the Earth Summit in 1992, the world agreed to prevent "dangerous" climate change. The first
step was the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which came into force during 2005. It will bring modest emission
reductions from industrialised countries. Many observers say deeper cuts are needed and
developing nations, which have large and growing populations, will one day have to join in. Some,
including the US Bush administration, say the scientific uncertainty over the pace of climate change
is grounds for delaying action. The US and Australia have reneged on Kyoto. Most scientists believe
we are underestimating the dangers.
G. In any case, according to the IPCC, the world needs to quickly improve the efficiency of its
energy usage and develop renewable non-carbon fuels like: wind, solar, tidal, wave and perhaps
nuclear power. It also means developing new methods of converting this clean energy into motive
power, like hydrogen fuel cells for cars. Other less conventional solutions include ideas to stave off
warming by "mega-engineering" the planet with giant mirrors to deflect the Sun's rays, seeding the
oceans with iron to generate algal blooms, or burying greenhouse gases below the sea. The bottom
line is that we will need to cut CO2 emissions by 70% to 80% simply to stabilise atmospheric CO2
concentrations--and thus temperatures. The quicker we do that, the less unbearably hot our future
world will be.
