    (questions 49 - 52) Read the following passage. Choose the best answer to each question according to what is stated or implied in the passage.
  • Scientists working on a problem do not know and sometimes can’t even guess what the final result will be. Professor Roentgen was a physicist at the University of Wuerzburg in Germany. Late on Friday, November 8, 1895, he was doing an experiment in his laboratory when he noticed something extraordinary. He had covered an electric bulb with black cardboard, and when he switched on the current, he saw little dancing lights on his table. The bulb was completely covered; how then could any ray penetrate? On the table there were some pieces of paper, which had been covered with metal salts. It was on this paper that the lights were shining. Professor Roentgen took a piece of this paper and held it at a distance from the lamp. Between it and the lamp he placed a variety of objects: a book, a pack of cards, a piece of wood, and a door key. The ray penetrated every one of them except the key. This mysterious ray could shine through everything except the metal. He called his wife into the laboratory and asked her to hold her hand between the lamp and a photographic plate. She was very surprised by this request, but she obediently held up her hand for a quarter of an hour, and when the plate was developed there was a picture of the bones of her hand and of the ring on one finger. The ray could pass through the flesh but not through the bone or the ring.

    (questions 58 - 61) Read the following paragraph. Choose the best answer to each question according to what is stated or implied in the passage.
  • Capstan is a planet in the distant Vertex solar system. In a recent letter to the noted English astronomer, Sir Ralph Johnson, the world famous Harvard astronomer Dr. Stanley G. Wyatt has summarized the current speculations as to the nature of this planet and its inhabitants. The inhabitants of Capstan are most likely green colored beings who are very tall. Believed to be gentle by nature, these beings probably subsist on moss-like plants. They most likely live in huts constructed from clay, which they have built with their three hands. Possessing fantastic strength, the inhabitants are well suited to the mountainous terrain of the planet. The atmosphere is colored bright orange and consists mainly of the gas argon. Long grass is the principal form of vegetation on this planet, the temperature of which, by earth standards, is very hot. The planet’s orbit around the sun describes an ellipse, and one such orbit takes 4 earth years to complete. Astronomers admit that the preceding description of Capstan is very speculative but it is believed that these statements are quite possibly true, given the information we have so far.

    (questions 62 - 65) Read the following paragraph. Choose the best answer to each question according to what is stated or implied in the passage.
  • The meteorology of the continent is generally influenced by the incidence of the monsoon, and so in Zone A the direction of the prevailing wind remains almost constant for the season, i.e., north-westerly in winter and southerly in summer. The rainfall is more abundant than in Zone B, but scanty compared with that in Zone C, and for the most part ranges from 20 inches to 60 inches a year, diminishing from south to north. Zone A is, unlike Zone C, outside the track of typhoons or earthquakes, and so enjoys immunity from their visitations. But between June and August, the wet months of the year, streams are flooded and great damage is done to crops. Throughout the rest of the year the rainfall is minimal, the air is semi-arid, and there are many hours of bright sunshine.

    Foggy days in Zone A during the year number as many as 70 around the southern seashores, decreasing to as few as 20 in the more northern latitudes. The fog, as a rule, is thicker farther offshore, and in June and July, the season when it is the densest, a fog will sometimes last for several days.
