The 16th

century in England is generally known as theTudor period, which historically lasted from 1485 to1603. Among the famous Tudor sovereigns wereHenry VII, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I. In fact, theearly years of the Tudor period were marked bysignificant changes in trade and in the arts of war.Henry VII made commercial treaties with Europeancountries. Economically, England, which had alwaysbeen a sheep-raising country, was by nowmanufacturing and exporting significant amounts ofcloth. As lands were enclosed to permit grazing on alarger scale, people were driven off the land to thecities, and London grew into a metropolitan marketwith sophisticated commercial institutions. Thesechanges had an impact on the traditional feudal

social order, which also began to decline; also, due tothe introduction of cannons and firearms, the feudalsystem of warfare became obsolete. Yet, it would bea mistake to imagine these changes as sudden anddramatic. In fact, it was a slow and long processwhereby England was transformed into a modernstate.

In the last third of the 19th

century, new technologiestransformed the face of manufacturing in Europe,leading to new levels of economic growth andcomplex realignments among industry, labour andnational governments. Like Europes first industrialrevolution, which began in the late 18

thcentury and

centred on coal, steam and iron, this secondindustrial revolution relied on innovation in three keyareas: steel, electricity, and chemicals. For instance,steel, which was harder, stronger and more malleablethan iron, had long been used as a constructionmaterial. But until the mid-nineteenth century,producing steel cheaply and in large quantities wasimpossible. That changed between the 1850s and1870s, as new and different processes for refining

and mass-producing alloy steel revolutionized themetallurgical industry. Although iron did notdisappear overnight, it was soon eclipsed by soaringsteel production. So, steel began to be used forvarious purposes. In Britain, for example,shipbuilders made a quick and profitable switch tosteel construction, and thus kept their lead in theindustry. Germany and the US, however, dominatedthe rest of the steel industry. By 1901, Germany wasproducing almost half as much steel as Britain andwas able to build a massive national and industrialinfrastructure.

steel industry did not develop adequatelyB) came into being during the later decades of the

eighteenth century

C) originally began in Britain and, then, spread toGermany and other European countries

D) led to the manufacture of a wide variety ofgoods, ranging from construction materials tochemicals

E) did not last long, since it did not lead to thedevelopment of new technologies

83. One understands from the passage that, beforethe mid-nineteenth century, ----.

competition in developing shipbuildingtechnologies

In 1764, there was a serious quarrel over taxationbetween the British government and its colonies inAmerica. The British government continued to thinkof the colonists as British subjects. In 1700, there hadbeen only 200.000 colonists, but by 1770 this numberrose to 2.5 million. Obviously, such large numbersneeded to be dealt with carefully. Some Americancolonists decided that it was not lawful for the Britishgovernment to tax them without their agreement.Political opinion in Britain was divided. Some felt thatthe tax was fair because the money would be used topay for the defence of the American colonies againstFrench attack. But several important politiciansagreed with the colonists that there should be notaxation without representation. Hence, in 1773, at

the port of Boston, a group of colonists threw ashipload of tea into the sea rather than pay tax on it.The event became known as the Boston Tea Party.The British government responded by closing theport. But the colonists then decided to prevent Britishgoods from entering America until the port wasopened again. The colonists action was regarded asa rebellion, and the British government decided todefeat it by force. Thus, the American War ofIndependence got underway. The war lasted from1775 until 1783. The British government had norespect for the colonists fighting ability. The resultwas a disastrous defeat for the British forces. At theend of the war, Britain lost all the American coloniesexcept Canada.

Butpeople who know the river are not deceived by itsbenign appearance, for they have had many bitterstruggles with its floods. They have had to learn thatnothing is to be gained by fighting against the rages

The Copernican revolution began over 500 years agowith the realization that the Earth was not the centreof the universe, but we still await its grand finale: theanticipated discovery of life elsewhere. Where elsemight we find life? The vast scale of the universemakes it virtually certain that there are other Earth-like settings. In our own solar system, Marssdistance from the Sun makes it sufficiently Earth-like;so, especially with increasing evidence for occasionalliquid water, many are looking there for the first signsof extraterrestrial life. Recently, however, a newcontender has emerged, and surprisingly it is fromthe cold outer solar system: it is Jupiters moonEuropa. As one of the four satellites of Jupiter,discovered by Galileo in 1610, Europa is now

believed to have water in a liquid state, even thoughit is so far from the Sun. Thus, the possibility of liquidwater on Europa has opened the door to speculationabout life on this satellite of Jupiter.

96. One clearly understands from the passage that,until Copernicus in the sixteenth century, ----.

A) Mars had generally been regarded as the planetwith life on it

B) the search for life elsewhere in the solar systemhad been futile

only planet with life on it
