Passage : J Although invaders represent a threat to the conservation of flora and fauna, there are two special cases in which invasion have been deliberately brought about. One is the desire to control presents by natural predators, which may have to be brought in from other countries. The second is releasing organisms into the wild(or on to farms, from which they might escape)that are completely novel, because they have been genetically engineered. There is nothing intrinsically sinister about engineered organisms, but any novelty must be regarded as a potential invader. 37.Pest control does not threat the conservation of flora and fauna. -- TRUE 38.Genetically engineered organisms must always be regarded as potentially dangerous. -- FALSE 39.Natural predators are work harmful than pests -- TRUE 40.Genetically engineered organisms escaped from the farm, they will be pose a threat to wildlife -- TRUE PASSAGE: K. Electronics technology is coming to the rescue of helicopters which can be grounded or crash in icy conditions the machines are especially vulnerable to the build up of ice on both their rotors and engine air intake when operating in cold damp conditions. The problem is 2 fold ice increases the weight and the build up makes the aero foils less efficient .now at last a detector has been devised which the company hopes will mean safer flights and less frequent grounding. Unlike most devices in use at present it can detect the liquid water content of cloud above freezing level. So the warning is given before the potential hazard is encountered. 39) An electronic device has been invented which will prevent the build up of ice on helicopter rotors - FALSE 40) Helicopters are sometimes grounded because in cold damp weather their engine air intakes and rotors malfunction owing to the formation of ice. – TRUE 41) Only one device can at present detect the liquid water content of cloud above freezing level – CAN’T SAY 42) In future fewer helicopters will crash or have to grounded - TRUE PASSAGE: L anyone whos has systematically examined faces will have perceived a prepondreance although not a proliferation of asymmtry.whether or not the expression is volitinal and self controlled or spontaneous appears to predict facial asymmetry as does the type of emotion protrayed.positive emotions are usually displayed symmetrically although a left sided representation of a negative emotion is more common.posed expressions and negative emotions are less likely to be symmetrically represented. 43.an angry person is more likely to have a lopsided expression than someone who is smiling T 44.a deliberately assumed facial expression will always be asymmetrical F 45.an actor is likely to smile symmetrically when acting C 46.more self conscious people are likely to have less asymmetrically facial expressions than those who are less aware of themselves T M. human existence is not susceptible of arbitary division between consciousness and unconsciousness.the conscious world invades and shapes the activities of the unconscious while many of the great achievements of humanity's waking hours were wholly or partly inspires bu dreams .even if it could be argued that dreams precede experience such a dichotomy could not be drawn as the influence of dreaming on the waking state would remain unclear but as yet no common vocabulary exists to record the substance of prenatal dreaming 47.sleep can be a creative state.
