Reading 2: Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the
Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted
spontaneously, when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves, without
Line any outside intervention. Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an
(5) atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.
Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a
paper published in 1917. However, for many years physicists thought that atoms and
molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated
emission thus always would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second World
(10) War that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought
ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many other to emit light ,
amplifying it to much higher powers.
The first to succeed was Charles H.Townes, then at Colombia University in New
York . Instead of working with light, however, he worked with microwaves, which have
(15) a much longer wavelength, and built a device he called a "maser" for Microwave
Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Although he thought of the
key idea in 1951, the first maser was not completed until a couple of years later. Before
long, many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover how to produce
stimulated emission at even shorter wavelength.
(20) The key concepts emerged about 1957. Townes and Arthur Schawlow, then at
BellTelephone Laboratories, wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify
stimulated emission of visible light waves. At about the same time, similar ideas
crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould, then a 37-year-old graduate student at
Columbia, who wrote them down in a series of notebooks. Townes and Schawlow
(25) published their ideas in a scientific journal, Physical Review Letter, but Gould filed a
patent application. Three decades later, people still argue about who deserves the credit
for the concept of the laser.
5. Why was Towne's early work with stimulated emission done with microwaves?
(A) He was not concerned with light amplification
(B) It was easier to work with longer wavelengths.
(C) His partner Schawlow had already begun work on the laser.
(D) The laser had already been developed
6. In his research at Columbia University, Charles Townes worked with all of the following
EXCEPT
(A) stimulated emission (B) microwaves
(C) light amplification (D) a maser
7. In approximately what year was the first maser built?
(A) 1917 (B) 1951 (C) 1953 (D) 1957
8. The word "emerged" in line 20 is closest in meaning to
(A) increased (B) concluded (C) succeeded (D) appeared
9. The word "outlining" in line 21 is closest in meaning to
(A) assigning (B) studying (C) checking (D) summarizing
10. Why do people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser?
(A) The researchers' notebooks were lost.
(B) Several people were developing the idea at the same time.
(C) No one claimed credit for the development until recently.
(D) The work is still incomplete.

grammar is derived from Latin grammar and that the rules of the latter necessarily determine the
former. It was this fundamental misunderstanding that resulted in the absurd but (5)_______ ‘never-

The fight to save the whales
Many of the world’s people are concerned about the (1)_________ number of whales in the oceans
and seas. They are worried because the number of whales is getting so small. Whales are very large,
(2)_________ animals. People have hunted whales (3)_________ about the eleventh century. Certain
types of whales have been hunted too. Recently, their numbers have decreased so much that they are in
(4)_________ of becoming extinct. These (5)_________ people are working to save the whales.
Why do people want to save the whales? There are two important reasons. One reason is that whales
help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have disturbed this balance. People get rid
of their wastes by throwing them into the oceans and seas. People’s (6)_________ and garbage
increase the amount of salt in ocean and sea water. The (7)_________ salt helps some plants and some
very small animals to grow. These plants and animals can be harmful to fish. Whales eat enormous
amounts of (8)_________, the plants and animals that thrive in very salt water. Therefore, whales are
very important because they keep the ocean environment clean (9)_________ for fish. In addition,
now (10)_________ fish provide necessary food for many people, people need whales, and many
people want to save them.
How are people working to save whales? Some worried people are working to save the whales through
legal (11)_________, by using the law. These people attend meetings of (12)_________ commissions
to ask whalers, the hunters, to reduce the number of whales that can be killed in a year. They also work
within countries to persuade lawmakers to make whaling (13)_________ the law and to make the use
of whale products illegal too.
Other concerned people are working to save whales from extinction in another way. These people
believe that the best means to save the whales is by (14)_________ whale products expensive. They
think that if whale products become less economical than similar products, whalers will kill fewer
whales the supply of whale products will decrease on (15)_________ of the lower demand for whale
products. For example, one of the most valuable whale products is whale oil. Whale oil, which is
processed from the fat, meat, and bones of whales, has (16)_________ uses. For example, it is used in
the manufacture of margarine, soap, and certain cosmetics.
One large whale may (17)_________ 150 barrels of whale oil. Scientists have found that a plant oil
that is similar to the valuable whale oil; it is the oil of a desert plant, jojoba oil. People hope that jojoba
oil can be produced more economically than whale oil and that, in this (18)_________, they can help
to save the whales.
Concern for whales is worldwide. Some governments will not let people sell whale products in their
countries. Other governments have changed the laws about whaling; now the laws do not let
(19)_________ kill as many whales as they did before. People who want to save whales are very
hopeful that the gentle giants of the ocean can be (20)_________.

ERROR ANALYSIS. There are ten errors in the text below. Find and correct them.
What are the abilities that a professional sport person needs? To guarantee that opponents can be
overcome, speeded, stamina and agility are essential, not to mention outstanding natural talent. Both a
rigorous and comprehensive fitness regime and a highly nutrition diet are vital for top-level
performance. It is carbohydrates, rather than proteins and fat, that provide athletes for the endurance
they need to compete. This means that pasta is more beneficial than eggs or meat. So a diet enables
them to move more enegertically when requiring. Failure to follow a sensible diet can result in the
inability to maintain stamina.
Regular training to increase muscular strength is also a vital part of a professional regime, but this is
typically done by exercising with weights. Sports people are going to injury but a quality training
regime can ensure that the severity of these can minimise.
