Space Travel
A) People have always dreamed of leaving planet Earth and exploring outer space. Sputnik,
the first artificial satellite, was launched in 1957. A human being went into space in 1961.
Nowadays, aided by huge technological advancements, astronauts spend up to a year on
orbiting space stations and robotic explorers have visited nearly all the planets in our solar
system.

B) The first challenge of space exploration was developing rockets powerful enough to
escape Earth's gravity, with guidance systems reliable enough to reach their destinations.
The next was constructing lightweight, durable satellites and maintaining radio
communication with them. Exceptionally high standards of reliability in manufacturing
and testing are necessary and a number of product innovations in daily use are a result of
attempts to solve specific logistical problems connected with life in space.

C) In addition to overcoming the challenges of no atmosphere, extremes of temperature and

cosmic radiation, it was necessary to develop tools and techniques for space navigation,
scientific observations and experiments and coping with incidental crises as they arose.
The Apollo program, which in 1969 sent astronauts to the Moon and back, was a huge
achievement watched globally by millions on (pre satellite) T.V, although some have
subsequently claimed that the whole spectacle was an elaborate hoax.
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 113, which are based on Reading Passage
1 below.

MAKING TIME FOR SCIENCE

Chronobiology might sound a little futuristic like something from a science fiction novel,
perhaps but its actually a field of study that concerns one of the oldest processes life on this
planet has ever known: short-term rhythms of time and their effect on flora and fauna.

This can take many forms. Marine life, for example, is influenced by tidal patterns. Animals
tend to be active or inactive depending on the position of the sun or moon. Numerous creatures,
humans included, are largely diurnal that is, they like to come out during the hours of sunlight.
Nocturnal animals, such as bats and possums, prefer to forage by night. A third group are
known as crepuscular: they thrive in the lowlight of dawn and dusk and remain inactive at other
hours.
