THE VACUUM CLEANER
Until about 250 years ago, households did not take dirt (1) __________ they do now – it was a fact of life, and that was that. Cleaning often consisted of an annual ritual called ‘spring cleaning’ when the furniture was moved aside, and all the linen products in the house were cleaned. Carpets and rugs were taken outside, hung on ropes and had the dust (2) __________ out of them – an exhausting and messy process.
The industrial revolution brought about a major change – as new products became available to make homes cleaner, a corresponding interest in ‘domestic hygiene’ appeared in households. This in turn led to the development of further products, (3) __________ was the vacuum cleaner.
(4) __________ has it that when one of the first vacuum cleaners was demonstrated, a kindly scientist took the proud inventor aside and (5) __________ a bit of advice that was to become crucial to the future evolution of the product – ‘make it suck, not blow’.
The first vacuum cleaners appeared in the 1860s in the United States. They were operated by hand pumps and were almost as (6) __________ as spring cleaning. It was only when electric motors had become sufficiently (7) __________ to become portable that vacuum cleaners became common household items. Most of today’s major (8) __________- including Electrolux and Hoover – were born in the 1920s.
The household dirt that vacuum cleaners suck up is (9) __________ dead skin cells – humans shed millions of cells every day. A much smaller proportion comes from dust and soil (10) __________ into the house from outside.

10. A. that carried B. carried C. carrying D. carry
Section 2. Read the following passage and think of a word which best fits each space. Use only ONE word for each space. Write your answers in corresponding numbered boxes.
When does a word become a word? For the staff of the Oxford English Dictionary, it is not a philosophical question, (11) __________ a practical one. Words are space, time and money. A researcher at Kingston University, London, recently described his fascination at discovering a vault full of millions of “non words” (12) __________ failed to make the grade. They included “wurfing”, the act of (13) __________ the Internet at work; “polkadogde”, the awkward dance performed by pedestrians trying to pass (14) __________ other on the street; and “nonversation”, a pointless chat. “What you have to remember,” says Fiona McPherson, senior editor of the OED’s new words group, “is that once a word has gone into the dictionary, it never comes out. So words have to pass a (15) __________ basic tests before they can be deemed to have (16) __________ the language. They have to have been around a reasonable amount of time and be in (17) __________ use.”
First published in 1928, after a gestation (18) __________ of more than 50 years, the OED is authoritative, scholarly, but never complete. As soon as the original dictionary was completed, work began on a second edition, published in 1989. New editions keep on being scheduled for (19) __________ without delay. “The internet has made our work both easier and harder,” says McPherson. “Being able to store words electrically is godsend. On the other hand, there are (20) __________ many potential outlets for new words that it is far more difficult to keep track of changes in the language.”
Section 3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Write your answers in corresponding numbered boxes.
In the course of its history, human inventions have dramatically increased the average amount of energy available for use per person. Primitive peoples in cold regions burned wood and animal dung to heat their caves, cook food, and drive off animals by fire. The first step toward the developing of more efficient fuels was taken when people discovered that they could use vegetable oils and animal fats in lieu of gathered or cut wood. Charcoal gave off more intensive heat than wood and was more easily obtainable than organic fats. The Greeks first began to use coal for metal smelting in the 4th century, but it did not come into extensive use until the Industrial Revolution.
In the 1700s, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, most energy used in the United States and other nations undergoing industrialization was obtained from perpetual and renewable sources, such as wood, water streams, domesticated animal labor, and wind. These were predominantly locally available supplies. By mid-1800s, 91 percent of all commercial energy consumed in the United States and European countries was obtained from wood. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, coal became a major energy source and replaced wood in industrializing countries. Although in most regions and climate zones wood was more readily accessible than coal, the latter represents a more concentrated source of energy. In 1910, natural gas and oil firmly replaced coal as the main source of fuel because they are lighter and, therefore, cheaper to transport. They burned more cleanly than coal and polluted less. Unlike coal, oil could be refined to manufacture liquid fuels for vehicles, a very important consideration in the early 1900s, when the automobile arrived on the scene.
By 1984, non-renewable fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, provided over 82 percent of the commercial and industrial energy used in the world. Small amounts of energy were derived from nuclear fission, and the remaining 16 percent came from burning direct perpetual and renewable fuels, such as biomass. Between 1700 and 1986, a large number of countries shifted from the use of energy from local sources to a centralized generation of hydropower and solar energy converted to electricity. The energy derived from non-renewable fossil fuels has been increasingly produced in one location and transported to another, as is the case with most automobile fuels. In countries with private, rather than public transportation, the age of non-renewable fuels has created a dependency on a finite resource that will have to be replaced.
Alternative fuel sources are numerous, and shale oil and hydrocarbons are just two examples. The extraction of shale oil from large deposits in Asian and European regions has proven to be labor consuming and costly. The resulting product is sulfur-and nitrogen-rich, and large-scale extractions are presently prohibitive. Similarly, the extraction of hydrocarbons from tar sands in Alberta and Utah is complex. Semi-solid hydrocarbons cannot be easily separated from the sandstone and limestone that carry them, and modern technology is not sufficiently versatile for a large-scale removal of the material. However, both sources of fuel may eventually be needed as petroleum prices continue to rise and limitations in fossil fuel availability make alternative deposits more attractive.
21. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Application of various fuels B. Natural resources and fossil fuels
C. A history of energy use D. A historical review of energy rates
22. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that __________.
A. coal mining was essential for primitive peoples
B. the Greeks used coal in industrial productions
C. the development of efficient fuel was a gradual process
D. the discovery of efficient fuels was mostly accidental
23. The phrase in lieu in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. in spite B. in place C. in every way D. in charge
24. The phrase the latter in paragraph 2 refers to __________.
A. coal B. wood C. most regions D. climate zones
25. The author of the passage implies that in the 1700s, sources of energy were __________.
A. used for commercial purposes B. used in various combinations
C. not derived from mineral deposits D. not always easy to locate
26. According to the passage, what was the greatest advantage of oil as fuel?
A. It was a concentrated source of energy.
B. It was lighter and cheaper than coal.
C. It replaced wood and coal and reduced pollution.
D. It could be converted to automobile fuel.
27. According to the passage, the sources of fossil fuels will have to be replaced because __________.
A. they need to be transported B. they are not efficient
C. their use is centralized D. their supply is limited
28. It can be inferred from the passage that in the early 20th century, energy was obtained primarily from __________.
A. fossil fuels B. nuclear fission
C. hydraulic and solar sources D. burning biomass
29. The author of the passage implies that alternative sources of fuel are currently __________.
A. being used for consumption B. being explored
C. available in few locations D. examined on a large scale
30. The word prohibitive in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. prohibited B. provided C. too expensive D. too expedient
Section 4. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.
A HISTORY OF FINGERPRINTING
A
To detectives, the answers lie at the end of our fingers. Fingerprinting offers an accurate and infallible means of personal identification. The ability to identify a person from a mere fingerprint is a powerful tool in the fight against crime. It is the most commonly used forensic evidence, often outperforming other methods of identification. These days, older methods of ink fingerprinting, which could take weeks, have given way to newer, faster techniques like fingerprint laser scanning, but the principles stay the same. No matter which way you collect fingerprint evidence, every single person’s print is unique. So, what makes our fingerprints different from our neighbour’s?
B
A good place to start is to understand what fingerprints are and how they are created. A fingerprint is the arrangement of skin ridges and furrows on the tips of the fingers. This ridged skin develops fully during foetal development, as the skin cells grow in the mother’s womb. These ridges are arranged into patterns and remain the same throughout the course of a person’s life. Other visible human characteristics, like weight and height, change over time whereas fingerprints do not. The reason why every fingerprint is unique is that when a baby’s genes combine with environmental influences, such as temperature, it affects the way the ridges on the skin grow. It makes the ridges develop at different rates, buckling and bending into patterns. As a result, no two people end up having the same fingerprints. Even identical twins possess dissimilar fingerprints.
C
It is not easy to map the journey of how the unique quality of the fingerprint came to be discovered. The moment in history it happened is not entirely clear. However, the use of fingerprinting can be traced back to some ancient civilisations, such as Babylon and China, where thumbprints were pressed onto clay tablets to confirm business transactions. Whether people at this time actually realised the full extent of how fingerprints were important for identification purposes is another matter altogether. One cannot be sure if the act was seen as a means to confirm identity or a symbolic gesture to bind a contract, where giving your fingerprint was like giving your word.
D
Despite this uncertainty, there are those who made a significant contribution to the analysis of fingerprints. History tells us that a 14th-century Persian doctor made an early statement that no two fingerprints are alike. Later, in the 17th century, Italian physician Marcello Malpighi studied the distinguishing shapes of loops and spirals in fingerprints. In his honour, the medical world later named a layer of skin after him. It was, however, an employee for the East India Company, William Herschel, who came to see the true potential of fingerprinting. He took fingerprints from the local people as a form of signature for contracts, in order to avoid fraud. His fascination with fingerprints propelled him to study them for the next twenty years. He developed the theory that fingerprints were unique to an individual and did not change at all over a lifetime. In 1880 Henry Faulds suggested that fingerprints could be used to identify convicted criminals. He wrote to Charles Darwin for advice, and the idea had referred on to Darwin’s cousin, Sir Francis Galton. Galton eventually published an in-depth study of fingerprint science in 1892.
E
Although the fact that each person has a totally unique fingerprint pattern. It had been well documented and accepted for a long time, this knowledge did not exploit for criminal identification until the early 20th century. In the past, branding, tattooing and maiming was used to mark the criminal for what he was. In some countries, thieves would have their hands cut off. France branded criminals with the fleur-de-lis symbol. The Romans tattooed mercenary soldiers to stop them from becoming deserters.
F
For many years, police agencies in the Western world were reluctant to use fingerprinting, much preferring the popular method of the time. The Bertillon System, where dimensions of certain body parts had been recorded to identify a criminal. The turning point was in 1903 when a prisoner by the name of Will West was admitted into Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. Amazingly, Will had almost the same Bertillon measurements as another prisoner residing at the very same prison, whose name happened to be William West. It was only their fingerprints that could tell them apart. From that point on, fingerprinting became the standard for criminal identification.
G
Fingerprinting was useful in identifying people with a history of crime and who listed on a database. However, in situations where the perpetrator was not on the database and the crime had no witnesses, the system fell short. Fingerprint chemistry is a new technology that can work alongside traditional fingerprinting to find more clues than ever before. From organic compounds left behind on a print, a scientist can tell if the person is a child, an adult, a mature person, or a smoker, and much more. It seems, after all these years, fingers continue to point the way.
