The amounts of the separation are partly dependent upon the means available for determining accurately the position and course of the various aircraft.

55) There is very little similarity between the chemical composition of river water and that of sea water. The various elements are present in entirely different proportions. ___________. An important reason for the difference is that immense amounts of calcium salts are constantly being withdrawn from sea water by marine animals for the making of shells and skeletons.

57) Pouring water into the sea sounds like a harmless scheme. But as regards Florida Bay, it is proving highly controversial. ___________. If increased salinity is the main problem there, the bay’s ecology will benefit from the project. If, however, nitrogen is the problem, increasing the flow of fresh water could make matters worse.

58) Cappadocia’s extraordinary landscape is partly the result of erosion by water, wind and changes in temperature. ___________. In winter, extreme temperature changes cause the rocks to expand and contract and eventually to disintegrate.

59) Antoine Lavoisier was one of the first chemists to try to explain what makes a substance acidic. In 1777, he proposed that oxygen was an essential element in acids. But in 1803, Humphry Davy showed that hydrogen chloride, which dissolves in water to give hydrochloric acid, contains only hydrogen and chlorine. ___________.

60) (I) The simplest type of engine classification is doubtless by reference to the kind of fuel used. (II) Nevertheless, reciprocating engines may be divided more fundamentally into those running on the Otto cycle (spark ignition) and those running on Akroyd’s and Diesel’s cycles (compression ignition). (III) The former are usually used for small scale power generation. (IV) The latter, which burn heavy oil are of two types, slow speed for ships and high speed for motor vehicles. (V) Subsequently, improvements in engine design appeared at an amazing speed.

61) (I) The terms velocity and speed are often used interchangeably in ordinary language. (II) But in physics we make a distinction between the two. (III) An aircraft travelling faster than the speed of sound breaks the sound barrier. (IV) Most importantly the term velocity is used to signify both the magnitude of movement and the direction in which an object is. (V) Speed, on the other hand, relates to magnitude only.

62) (I) A series of birth defects among frogs in Canada caused great consternation. (II) Most of the defects concern the legs. (III) The deformity is indeed widespread and the cause has not as yet been identified. (IV) Some have extra legs, some legs that are webbed together and some with paralysed legs. (V) In some, missing eyes have also been noticed.

63) (I) Wind power is gaining in favour all across Europe. (II) Indeed, it is only the building of a wind-farm that is expensive, running costs are low. (III) There are several reasons for this. (IV) One is that all the technical obstacles that previously existed have been overcome. (V) Another is the increase in efficiency, which means that wind can now compete directly with traditional power-generation methods.

64) (I) The remotely operated vehicle (ROV), Jason II, resembles its predecessor, but nearly every component has been much improved. (II) To start with, it is bigger, so it can retrieve more material from the ocean floor. (III) Further, a second manipulator arm has been added which has increased maneuverability and power. (IV) Another advantage is the fact that it can function at greater depths. (V) Indeed, a lot of people feel that the costs of ROV technology are in excess of its usefulness.

65) (I) It is convenient to use symbols for the atoms of the different elements. (II) An atomic symbol is a one or two letter notation used to represent an atom corresponding to a particular element. (III) Today we know that atoms are not truly indivisible. (IV) Typically, the atomic symbol consists of the first letter, capitalized, from the name of the element, sometimes with an additional letter from the name in lowercase. (V) For example, chlorine has the symbol Cl.

66) Just as railway bridges were the great structural symbols of the 19th century highway bridges became the engineering emblems of the 20th century. The invention of the automobile created an irresistible demand for paved roads and vehicular bridges throughout the developed world. The type of bridge needed for cars and trucks, however, is fundamentally different from that needed for locomotives. Most highway bridges carry lighter loads than railway bridges do, and their roadways can be sharply curved or steeply sloping. To meet these needs, many turn-of-the-century bridge designers began working with a new building material: reinforced concrete, which has steel bars embedded in it. And the master of this new material was Swiss structural engineer Robert Maillart, who designed some of the most original and influential bridges of the modern era.

69) William Willcocks was born 150 years ago in a tent beside a canal in northern India, where his father worked for the colonial government. He learnt his engineering in India before heading for Egypt in 1883. There he rose to become director-general of reservoirs, and a legend on the banks of the Nile. He built the first Aswan dam, then the largest in the world, went on to revive the ancient irrigation systems of Mesopotamia, and watered deserts from South Africa to India. But he was deeply troubled by the discovery that much of what his fellow water engineers did in their colonial playgrounds was worse than useless.

72) The Rhine-Ruhr area became the greatest industrial region of Germany, because it had at its heart the great coalfield of the Ruhr. Mining is now almost entirely northeast and westwards across the Rhine. The region contains the greater part of the German iron, steel and heavy engineering industries. The great integrated iron and steel plants mostly cluster on the Rhine waterway. Specialized steel plants and engineering works are more widespread. With a decline in coalmining and the dismantling after World War II of certain steel plants, some of the older Ruhr towns have diversified their industries considerably: vehicles, electrical goods and clothing are now being produced.

75) The US company, “Scientific Applications and Research Associates” (SARA) Inc. has developed crowd-dispersal weapons for the US military that generate high-intensity sound waves. Sound levels of 120 to 130 decibels cause pain and blurred vision; above 140 decibels, sound produces profound discomfort throughout the body. Earplugs are no protection. These acoustic systems have a directed beam, projecting the sound in a narrow fan. They include high-intensity sound generators with power levels of up to 60 kilowatts and are combustion driven, using a series of small explosions to create a noise or drive a siren or whistle.
