Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the
letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
THE VANISHING INVENTION
In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing
claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist
said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of
water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into
hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the
reaction happens at atmospheric temperature. This impressive
technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum
is the perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more
has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is no explanation for the
disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions
which have also vanished. An
inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled car
but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were
to become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners
and would also save the planet from the impending environmental catastrophes
being caused by pollution.

in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.

Cervilla’s invention?

something in nature.
C. It requires no
electricity.
D. It uses enzymes to break down
water.
120. The word “it”

water

cars may contribute to ____.

Exercise 12. Read the following passage and mark the
letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
THE STORY OF COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by John
Pemberton, a druggist living in Atlanta. The original drink was a type of
syrup, using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret
ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine; and with its coca (the source of
cocaine), it must have made people feel good!
Nevertheless,
Pemberton’s medicine was not very successful, so he sold
his secret formula to another
druggist, Asa Candler. Candler was interested, because he
had another idea that Pemberton’s
“medicine” would be much better if it was mixed with soda.
Candler was thus the man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. Candler also
advertised his new drink, and soon people were going to drugstores just to get
a drink of Coca-Cola.
Before long, other people became interested in
the product, including a couple of businessmen who wanted to sell it in bottles. Candler sold them a licence to bottle the drink, and very
quickly the men became millionaires. The famous bottle, with its very distinctive shape, was designed in
1916. And the famous Coca-Cola logo is the most famous logo in the world.
Unlike any other famous commercial logos, it has not changed in 100 years!
During the First World War, American soldiers
in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the Coca-Cola company began to export
to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers that they then had to start bottling
the drink in Europe.
Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over
the world, including Russia and China; it is the world’s most popular drink.
As for the famous formula, it is probably the
world’s most valuable secret! The exact ingredients for making Coca-Cola are
only known to a handful of people. And as for the “coca” that was in the
original drink, that was eliminated
in 1903. It was a drug, and too dangerous. Today’s Coca-Cola contains caffeine,
but not cocaine!
