Of the many unexplained phenomenon which continue to puzzle scientists and
laymen like, the corn circles of Southern England remain one of the most
mysterious. These perfect-formed circles, which, when they see from the air appear
to have been inscribed with an enormous carving tool, seem to be a part of a
significant message; so far, however, nobody managed to decipher them, and it is
doubtful if anyone will ever be able to. But the main question – how the circles
came to be there – is just as far of being solved. Although several people had come
forward claiming to have made the circles themselves, scientists declare that it

would be impossible for even a large group to create shapes of such precision on so
a large scale. These circles have become one of the strong arguments in support of
the existence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life forms.

The Bureau also reported that for the first time ever, deaths outnumbered births among

Question 2. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each question
(10 points)
Architecture has social purposes and meets practical needs by means of combining art
and technological innovations. In building construction, however, an emergence of new
7
materials does not make its precursors obsolete, and architectural knowledge is cumulative.
The fact that today much is constructed from prefabricated concrete does not do away with
brick. Furthermore, despite dramatic changes and increased technological sophistication of
architectural design and construction, the essential apparatus of erecting a building has
remained rooted in preindustrial traditional practices passed down during the millennia. The
social and utilitarian expectations of structures are largely based on elemental demands of
keeping out elements and enemies, avoiding the extremes of heat, wind and precipitation.
Gravity, air pressure, and earthquakes can induce tensions that have to be accounted for
when constructing functional enclosed space. Vertical stacking of masonry materials causes
compression that can lead to important problems when a structure is spanned to build a roof
and connect walls. Arches, vaults, and domes were specifically developed to alleviate the
compression by directing the spanning element along a curve rather than a straight line.
Building suspension structures, dams, and tunnels became possible in the nineteenth century

with the increased availability of steel that could reinforce structural frames and enable them
to withstand natural forces previously believed to be insurmountable.
Functional evolutions of modern buildings create new demands on the analysis of
structural behavior and engineering. Few occupants of skyscrapers view elevators as elaborate
systems of vertical transportation. Humidity and temperature control, forced ventilation,
natural and artificial lighting, sanitation and disposal of waste, electrical wiring and fire
prevention make very tall constructions engineering marvels that also must be aesthetically
pleasing and physically convenient.
Erecting a structure involves a great deal more than merely attending to the aesthetics and
psychological experience of architectural space. The shape, size, and incombustibility of
locally available construction materials fostered developments of specific technologies.
Advances in engineering and knowledge associated with properties of building materials
combine to lead innovations in architectural design. Tools and skills required to exploit easily
obtainable material have continued to inform the development of modem industrialized
technologies.

B. The profound importance of tradition in architecture

D. How new design can improve traditional construction.

A. retain essential sophistication B. stay rooted in the elements

A. Masonry is stacked vertically by increasing compression.
B. Downward pressure is dispersed by semicircular roofs.
C. Buildings are spanned to account for the force of gravity.
D. Vertical roofs are bent to counteract air pressure.

Question 3. Read the article and choose the sentence A - G which best summarizes each

A. An old problem with serious consequences

B. Two new approaches, but can they solve the
problem?
C. Experts say 'Bring back maths!'

E. Old methods are no longer satisfactory
F. We couldn't live without them
G. But they are here to stay
[0] ______
Our lives depend on computers. They control our money, transport, our exam results.
Yet their programs are now so complex that no one can get rid of all the mistakes. Life
without computers has become unimaginable. They are designed to look after so many boring
but essential tasks - from microwave cooking to flying across the Atlantic - that we have
become dependent on them.
[1] _______
But as the demands placed on computers grow, so have the number of incidents
involving computer errors. Now computer experts are warning that the traditional ways of
building computer systems are just not good enough to deal with complex tasks like flying
10
planes or maintaining nuclear power stations. It is only a matter of time before a computer-
made catastrophe occurs.
[2] _______
As early as 1889, a word entered the language that was to become all too familiar to
computer scientists: a 'bug', meaning a mistake. For decades bugs and 'de-bugging' were taken
to be part of every computer engineer's job. Everyone accepted that there would always be
some mistakes in any new system. But 'safety critical' systems that fly planes, drive trains or
control nuclear power stations can have bugs that could kill. This is obviously unacceptable.
[3] _______
One way to stop bugs in computer systems is to get different teams of programmers to
work in isolation from each other. That way, runs the theory, they won't all make the same
type of mistake when designing and writing computer codes. In fact research shows that

programmers think alike, have the same type of training - and make similar mistakes. So even
if they work separately, mistakes can still occur. Another technique is to produce back up
systems that start to operate when the first system fails. This has been used on everything
from the space shuttle to the A320 airbus, but unfortunately problems that cause one
computer to fail can make all the others fail, too.
[4] _______
A growing number of computer safety experts believe the time has come to stop trying
to 'patch up' computer systems. They say programmers have to learn to think clearly and to be
able to demonstrate through mathematical symbols that the program cannot go seriously
wrong. Until programmers learn to do this, we will probably just have to live with the results
of computer bugs.
[5] _______
Of course, more often than not the errors are just annoying, but sometimes they can
come close to causing tragedies. On the Picadilly line in London's Underground a driver who
was going south along a track got confused while moving his empty train through a cross-
over point. He started to head north straight at a south-bound train full of people. The
11
computerized signaling system failed to warn him of impeding disaster and it was only his
quick human reactions that prevented a crash.

As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health.
For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and
vegetables. Because of their diet, they have high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in
contrast, people eat large amount of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have very
low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the Japanese live longer than anyone else in the
world. Unfortunately, when Japanese people move to the United States, the rates of heart
disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice cream, and
other high fat foods become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are
increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and diary products in other
countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not surprisingly, the disease rates in these
countries are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently, doctors everywhere
advise people to eat more grains and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer diary products.

A. Children eat the same way their parents eat.

B. Doctors advise people to eat more grains, fruits and vegetables.
