In antiquity, prior to the third century B.C., physics had been a branch of philosophy. It was made a separate, experimental science by Archimedes of Syracuse, who lived between 287 and 212 B.C.. He not only discovered the law of floating objects, or specific gravity, but also formulated with scientific exactness the principles of the lever, the pulley, and the screw. Among his memorable inventions were the compound pulley and the screw propeller for ships. Although he has been considered the greatest technical genius of antiquity, in fact he preferred to devote himself to pure scientific research. Tradition relates that he discovered “Archimedes’ principle,” that is, specific gravity, while pondering possible
theories in his bath; when he reached his stunning insight, he dashed out naked into the street crying “Eureka!” (“I have found it!”).
As one understands from the passage, Archimedes was so thrilled by his unexpected
discovery of specific gravity that ----.
A) he immediately announced it to the public in an unusual fashion
B) he described every detail of it to the people with scientific exactness
C) the people in the street joined him in the celebration of his discovery
D) most of his contemporaries regarded it as a perfect example of pure scientific research
E) his theory of specific gravity was soon applied in shipbuilding
Central heating, available in the US since the early 19th century, became popular only after the Civil War. Typically, coal-burning furnaces fuelled the early systems. The furnaces warped and cracked, causing gases to escape, and had to be stoked frequently. It took years and countless small improvements, but by the mid-1920s the systems had become reliable and, with the emergence of oil-fired furnaces, more convenient. Natural gas, which became widely available with the building of a pipeline infrastructure after World War II, had developed into the leading fuel by 1960. Its acceptance resulted in part from its versatility - unlike oil, it can power appliances such as clothes washers and dryers, ovens, ranges and outdoor grills. Because it comes primarily from US and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable than oil is, to war and embargo. Oil remains the predominant fuel in a few areas, such as New England, where natural gas pipelines have not yet thoroughly penetrated. Oil users in many regions have the advantage of being able to buy a season's supply in advance at favourable rates and, in contrast to most gas users, can easily change their supplier.
According to the passage, the coal-burning furnaces of the early days of central heating in the US, ______.
A) gave the people who used them many problems
B) seldom needed any maintenance
C) were soon improved and became quite convenient to use
D) remained exceedingly popular even after oil-fired furnaces were introduced
E) had only none minor fault: they had to be stoked several times a day

Peeling back both space and time, scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have found that the strange force known as dark energy appears to have existed for at least the past two-thirds of the universe's history. Dark energy is a mysterious repulsive force that opposes gravity, causing the universe to expand. Albert Einstein posited that a form of the force existed nearly a century ago by, but it was not discovered until 1998. Scientists believe dark energy makes up about 70 percent of the substance of the universe. Also, scientists can measure the strength of dark energy by looking at distant galaxies for a type of exploding star known as a Type 1A supernova.
It is clear from the passage that ..............
A) supernovas enable scientists to obtain further information about dark energy
B) no form of energy can stand against gravity
C) only supernovas can terminate dark energy
D) supernovas can lead to the explosion of other stars orbiting around them
E) supernovas have a deep impact on earth’s gravity

If one or more of the four heart valves are diseased or damaged it can affect the flow of blood in two ways. If the valve does not open fully, it obstructs the flow of blood - known as valve stenosis. If the valve does not close properly, it will allow blood to leak backwards - called valve incompetence or valve regurgitation. Both stenosis, a narrowing which makes the heart pump faster to get blood past the obstruction, and incompetence, which means the heart has to do more to pump the required volume of blood forwards, put extra strain on the heart. The blood behind the affected valve will also be under increased pressure, called back pressure, leading to a build-up of fluid in the lungs or lower part of the body, depending on the valve affected. Symptoms include tiredness or breathlessness when exercising, swelling of the ankles and legs, dizziness or fainting in extreme cases. Angina - chest pain - can occur. Heart valve disease can be caused by being born with one or more abnormal valves, called congenital heart disease. Disease can also be the result of rheumatic fever, now uncommon in the UK, or ageing of the heart, if valves thicken. Drugs, including diuretics, ACE inhibitors and dioxin, can be used to treat valvular heart disease, but if the obstruction or leaking of the valves is too severe, medicines may not be enough and surgery may be required. The danger varies for individual patients depending on factors such as age and other medical conditions.
It is made clear in the passage that ____.
A) valvular stenosis is a condition in which blood leaks back in the wrong direction
B) heart valves control blood flow through the one chamber of the heart
C) valve stenosis may involve backward leakage of blood
D) the less the narrowing or leakage becomes, the harder the heart has to work
E) stenosis and regurgitation may affect the same valve
