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 kites 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
kites 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 kites 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 kites 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

B. span
