IV. COMPREHENSION READING
Read the following passage. For questions 51 - 55, you are to choose one best answer (A, B, C or D) to each
question.
In 1752, Benjamin Franklin made his textbook experiment with a brass key and a silk kite that he flew in a thunderstorm to
prove that lightning and electricity are the same thing. In 1920, a kite-flying championship for families and individuals was held in
London. These two seemingly unrelated events underscore the fact that kites can be flown for both pleasure and scientific

purposes. For example, in the 1800s weather bureaus flew kites to record temperature and humidity at certain altitudes. On one
occasion, ten kites were strung together and flown at a height of four miles to lift men and carry cameras aloft.
The kite’s ability to fly depends on its construction and the way that its line is attached. The familiar diamond – shaped kite
flies when its covered face is aligned against the wind flow. The line attached to the nose of the kite pulls it into the wind, thus
creating the necessary angle for the lift force. If the kite’s construction and the angle of the air stream are correct, the kite will
encounter greater pressure against its face and lower pressure against its back. The difference in the pressure creates a lift that
causes the kite to rise until it hangs level from its bridle. Its angle against the wind should be sufficiently large or small to create
maximum lift to overcome both drag and gravity. The towing point to which the line is attached is important because it sets the
kite’s angle relative to the air flow. Although the kite must be headed up and into the wind with a velocity of 8 to 20 miles per
hour, it can maintain its position through a tail, a rudder, a keel, vents, or tassels.
51. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How kites can be used.
B. Why kites are flown.
C. What parts kites consist of.
D. What makes kites stay up in the air.
52. According to the passage, the kite flies when its nose is
A. pointed away from the ground.
B. pointed into the wind flow.
C. pointed to the ground.
D. pointed downwards
53. What is the necessary condition for the kite to fly?
A. The kite must be sufficiently strong to withstand great pressure.
B. The kite must be diamond-shaped, and the wind of a certain velocity.
C. The pressure against its back must be lower than the pressure against its face.
D. The pressure of the air flow must be lower than the weight of the kite.
54. According to the passage, the line of the kites is important because it
A. lifts the kite’s cover and frame into the air space.
B. contributes to the shape of the kite and extends it.
C. determines the angle between the kite and the air flow.
D. conveys the direction of the wind and the air flow.

55. The word “velocity” most nearly means
A. force
B. span
