In the last third of the 19th century, new Technologies transformed the face of manufacturing in Europe, leading to new levels of economic growth and complex realignments among industry, labour and national governments. Like Europe’s first industrial revolution, which began in the late 18th century and centred on coal, steam and iron, this “second” industrial revolution relied on innovation in three key areas: steel, electricity, and chemicals. For instance, steel, which was harder, stronger and more malleable than iron, had long been used as a construction material. But until the mid-nineteenth century,producing steel cheaply and in large quantities was impossible. That changed between the 1850s and 1870s, as new and different processes for refining and mass-producing alloy steel revolutionized the metallurgical industry. Although iron did not disappear overnight, it was soon eclipsed by soaring steel production. So, steel began to be used for various purposes. In Britain, for example, shipbuilders made a quick and profitable switch to steel construction, and thus kept their lead in the industry. Germany and the US, however, dominated the rest of the steel industry. By 1901, Germany was producing almost half as much steel as Britain and was able to build a massive national and industrial
infrastructure.
According to the passage, in the second half of the nineteenth century, the metallurgical industry
underwent a radical transformation ----.
A) although some countries, like Germany and the
US, were still using obsolete methods of
production
B) due to Germany’s lead in the development of
new steel production technologies
C) because Britain’s shipbuilders had discovered
new ways to build bigger but less expensive
ships
D) when alloy steel began to be refined and massproduced
through the introduction of innovative
processes
E) owing to new discoveries and technological
progress in the fields of electricity and chemistry

Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth above sea level, but it is not the world’s tallest. That honour goes to the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Kea. When measured from its base on the Pacific Ocean floor, it is about 1, 000 metres taller than Mount Everest. Mauna Kea is part of a 5, 600-kilometre-long chain of volcanoes stretching westward from the main Hawaiian island. This volcanic chain is formed by small convection streams called “hot spots”, just below the Earth’s crust, where magma rises from the hotter parts of the mantle, the region between the crust and the core of the earth. These hot spots melt sections of the tectonic plates moving above them, causing magma and bits of the molten plate to erupt onto the sea floor. Over time, the lava accumulates, forming a mountain that rises above sea level. The moving tectonic plates carry the newly-formed mountain away from its original location, as newer volcanoes continue to form in the same spot.
47. One understands from the passage that, as much of Mauna Kea is below sea level, __ .
A) nobody knows how high it actually is since it cannot be measured precisely

C) its volcanic activity is actually much more extensive than is generally thought
D) the process of its geological formation is only now being revealed scientifically
E) the so-called “hot spots” on the ocean floor continue to add lava to its base
