The latest development in the debate amongst scientists about what k i l l e d the prehistoric dinosaurs is the
suggestion that acid rain was the cause. T w o geologists from the Massachusetts Institute o f Technology suggest
that a large meteor hitting the earth at 65 kilometres per second w o u l d have led to strongly acidic rain falling all
over the world.
The two geologists, Ronald Prinn and Bruce Fegley, calculated that i f an ice-rich meteor w e i g h i n g 12.5 m i l l i o n
billion kilograms hit the Earth, it w o u l d shock-heat the atmosphere enough to produce huge amounts o f nitrogen
oxides. This would result, they say, i n strongly acid rain around the w o r l d . I f the meteor were travelling more
slowly, or i f it were more rock-like in structure, this strongly acid ram w o u l d be limited to a small area so that the
w o r l d effect w o u l d be much less important. However, other groups o f researchers have suggested that volcanoes,
rather than meteors, could have produced these heavy doses o f acid rain, but over a much longer period — over
10,000 years.
Prinn and Fegley believe that their theory matches the pattern fcf animal and plant life at the end o f the
Cretaceous period 65 m i l l i o n years ago. It is w e l l k n o w n from studying rock formations that it was at this time that
dinosaurs and many other groups o f prehistoric animals died out. Prinn and Fegley suggest one way in which their
theory might be tested. Rock layers w h i c h have remained undisturbed since the Cretaceous era could be examined
to see i f they show any sign o f the effects o f very large amounts o f acid rain o n metals which do not dissolve in
water such as iron and lead. Such undisturbed rock layers are, however, very rare.

6:-What do scientists k n o w about prehistoric dinosaurs?

A . They were present on the earth for about 10,000 years.
B. They died out 65 m i l l i o n years ago.
C. They were killed by one vast volcanic explosion.
D. They could not co-exist w i t h other animals.
7: What do Prinn and Fegley think w o u l d happen i f a large piece o f ice-rich meteor h i t the earth at great speed?
A . A huge volcano w o u l d be formed.
B. Strongly acidic rain w o u l d result all over the w o r l d .
C. 12.5 m i l l i o n b i l l i o n k g o f nitrogen o x i d e w o u l d be produced.
D. The heat w o u l d k i l l all l i v i n g things in the area.
8: Prinn and Fegley think that i f a rocky meteor hit the earth it would
A . have little effect on things l i v i n g nearby.
B. have very long-lasting effects.
C. take a long time to have any effect.
D. not have any important w o r l d - w i d e effects.

THE WASTE GENERATION
One o f the most striking statistics that I have seen in a long time is that 5 per cent o f all the energy used in the
United States is consumed by computers that have been left on all night.
I can't confirm this personally, but I can (31) tell you that on numerous occasions I have looked
out o f hotel rooms late at night, in a (32) o f American cities, and been struck by the fact that every
light in every neighbouring office b u i l d i n g is still on, and that computer (33) are indeed flickering.
W h y d o n ' t Americans turn these things off? For the same reason, I suppose, that so many people here let their
car engines (34) when they pop into a shop, or leave lights blazing all over the house, or keep the
central heating on so hot - because, in short, electricity, petrol and other energy sources are so (35)
cheap, and have been for so long, that it doesn't occur to them to (36) otherwise.
Why, after a l l , put up w i t h the annoying experience o f having to wait 20 seconds for your computer to
(37) up each m o r n i n g when y o u can have it at your immediate command by (38) it on
all night?
We are terribly (39) o f resources in this country. The average American uses twice as much
energy to get (40) life as the average European. W i t h just 5 per cent o f the w o r l d ' s population, we
consume 20 per cent o f its resources. These are not statistics to be proud of.

Twenty years ago, before the N o r t h Sea discoveries, gas was already becoming the most popular domestic fuel
- largely because o f the success o f the new gas fires and the g r o w i n g demand for central heating. It wasn't the
cheapest fuel on the market then, though costs were being held down because o f efficient new production and
business methods. But its controllability, cleanliness, and other advantages, w i t h the efficiency and attractiveness o f
the new gas appliances, made gas a winner.
Today, w i t h 3 m i l l i o n more customers, gas is the long-established market leader. On latest figures, for
example, it accounts for over three-quarters o f all new central heating installations in Britain. It still has all its
natural advantages, and much o f the equipment available today is even more efficient. In addition, despite the price
increases o f recent years, gas is the best buy in the energy market in almost all applications. In fact, it is
significantly cheaper today, in real terms, than it was twenty years ago.
As the cost o f the gas it buys from the N o r t h Sea has increased, British Gas has successfully pruned its other
costs to keep prices to customers h i g h l y competitive. Indeed, a recent consultants' report, j o i n t l y commissioned by
the Government and British Gas, concluded that the Corporation had an impressive record over the last ten years in
the efficient management o f the industry. The battle continues to improve performance still more.
But you can get even better value from gas by some simple energy conservation measures. Lagging your loft,
putting an insulating jacket on your hot water tank and weather-stripping w i n d o w s and doors are a l l low-cost - and
effective - ways o f saving gas.
A n d it doesn't cost anything to turn d o w n your central heating thermostat a little, make sure your time clock
only turns on the heating when y o u need it, or take a shower instead o f a bath.
For more detailed information on how to make the most o f good value gas, pick up a copy o f our free leaflet
from your gas showroom.
Since most people are not paid quarterly, quarterly gas bills may be a bit o f a headache, even though gas is
good value. That's w h y the gas people offer a choice o f ways to spread the cost o f your gas more evenly throughout
the year. Y o u can pay monthly - by standing order or Post Office Giro, or in cash w i t h our special Gas Vouchers, i f
you don't have a bank or G i r o account.
Or, i f you'd prefer to put more aside at some times than at others, y o u can buy our Gas Savings Stamps at your
gas showroom or from some sub-post offices.
Ask at your showroom for detailed information about any o f these schemes.

Bulbs are ideal for new gardeners, including children, because they are easy to plant and they always flower
w e l l in their first season. They need comparatively little attention, provided that the soil has been properly
prepared, and the place where they are planted is chosen w i t h care. They w i l l last for many years and give y o u an
annual show o f flowers that are often so richly coloured or beautifully formed as to be i n a class apart from other
garden flowers.
However, it is a mistake to buy bulbs without any plan o f what effect y o u really want from them. I have
written this book to help in selecting the most suitable bulbs for the t y p i c a l , s m a l l , modem garden o f the n o n -
specialist gardener, and have made some suggestions to help readers w h o may not have had a garden before.
Too many books for beginners tell new gardeners to grow a few 'sensible' kinds o f plants and leave the more
interesting kinds to adventurous experts. For the first few years o f one's gardening life one should, it seems,
concentrate on learning simple techniques w h i l e admiring the gardens o f more experienced neighbours.
In fact, as a learner-gardener y o u need not fear that your efforts w i l l necessarily show your inexperience,
because (and here I give away a most closely-guarded secret), provided the bulbs come from a really reliable
source, it is possible to produce as good results in your first year o f gardening as i n y o u r eightieth. There are some
difficult bulbs that w i l l disappoint y o u , notably some lilies and a few miniature daffodils, but these are often no
more attractive than the really easy ones. Therefore, be bold w i t h bulbs; they are a sound investment for any
garden.
Never be content to plant the bulbs by themselves. The majority look best w h e n planted among other kinds o f
plants, because they have unattractive leaves w h i c h are thus hidden. There are a few bulbs, such as standard
daffodils, which are, however, at their best g r o w n in short grass.

46: W h y should new gardeners try g r o w i n g bulbs?

A. They w i l l grow anywhere in the garden.
B. They are cheap, so a great many can be g r o w n .
C. Once planted, little after-care is needed.
D. Their flowers get better and better each year.
47: What is this book on gardening about?
A. The choice o f bulbs for small gardens.
B. Planning an easily maintained garden.
C. General advice for beginner gardeners.
D. Up-to-date information on new bulbs.

The slaughter o f animals for meat is one o f the few industries that turn almost every piece o f waste into a
useful by-product. Hide, hair, glands, fat, bones, organs and intestines are converted into raw materials for a w i d e
range o f industrial, medical, human and animal food products.
But there is one waste product that is exceptionally difficult to deal w i t h , and until recently has defied efforts
to find a satisfactory solution for its disposal. That is blond residue.
In 1982 more than 800,000 tons were dumped into public drainage systems throughout Europe.
The hidden cost to taxpayers o f pollution and o f the burden on sewage purification plants is high. In biological
terms, the problem o f disposal lies in neutralizing the protein proportion, 140,000 tons, o f the blood residue.
 Several countries have developed methods o f protein recovery. In D e n m a r k and Finland it is partially
processed into animal feed for m i n k farms.
But the cost o f that partial recovery is high and the protein recovered represents only a quarter o f that
available.
T w o years ago France, w h i c h has the biggest slaughterhouses in Europe, began a two-year study into how
abattoir blood residues might be used rather than simply neutralized for efficient disposal.
The outcome was a biotechnology process producing an alternative to soya or w h e y proteins, the additions to
sausages, pates, cooked meats and meat pies w h i c h supplement meat content or provide certain functional
properties,
The process was perfected in conjunction w i t h the Danish biotechnology company N o v o Industri, a large
manufacturer o f industrial enzymes, w h i c h has developed a biotechnology-based process. It separates the haem
(colouring pigment) f r o m the g l o b i n in blood pigment, thus a l l o w i n g all o f the protein available in residue to be
recovered.
A plant on a commercial scale is to be tested in France soon.
The process is a combination o f biochemical conversion w i t h special enzymes and mechanical filtration that
• turns most o f the original dark fluid into a cream-coloured powder.

96: Until recently, what has been done w i t h blood residue?

A. It has been converted into food for animals.
B. It has been stored.
C. It has been t h r o w n away.
D. It has been used for industrial purposes.
97: In order to dispose o f the residue
A. it is necessary to dump a great amount at once.
B. it is necessary to take it to Europe.
C. it must be changed into food.
D. it must have the protein taken out.
98: The process o f using blood residue for food
A . has been perfected in Finland and Denmark.
B. began only t w o years ago.
C. has been perfected only in France.
D. produces substances w h i c h can be added to food.
99: The Danish company N o v o Industri
A . can separate parts o f the blood.
B. recovered the blood by biotechnology.
C. tried to find a way to change the colour o f blood.
D. turned the blood into industrial enzymes.
