Under the city streets

While skyscraper offices and elegant apartment blocks remain the public 21.1facesurfacetopoutline of most major cities, these cities also have a mass of secret tunnels and 21.2hidehidingto hidehidden pipes below ground which keep everything working. This other world exists, forgotten or neglected by all but a tiny number of engineers and historians. 

For example, there are more than 150 kilometres of rivers under the streets of London. Most have been 21.3protectedcoveredshelteredprevented over and, sadly, all that remains is their names. Perhaps the greatest loss to the city is the River Fleet, a once great river 21.4whosewherewhichwhen previously had beautiful houses on its banks. It now goes underground in the north of the city and flows into the River Thames by Blackfriars Bridge. 

The London Underground has 1000 kilometres of underground railway track winding under the capital and more than 100 stations below street level. Along some underground railway lines, commuters can sometimes catch a 21.5briefsharprapidfast glimpse of the platforms of more than 40 closed stations which have been left under the city. Although some are used as film sets, most 21.6lielaylivelast forgotten. Some have had their entrances on the street turned into restaurants and shops, but most entrances have been 21.7brokenbroughtcutpulled down.

Read and choose the correct answer for each question.

Nanotechnology refers to the creation and use of materials or devices at extremely small scales. These materials or devices fall in the range of 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). One nm is equal to one-billionth of a meter (0.000000001 m), which is about 50.000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Scientists refer to the dimensional range of 1 to 100 nm as the nanoscale, and materials at this scale are called nanocrystals or nanomaterials.

The nanoscale is unique because nothing solid can be made any smaller. It is also unique because many of the mechanisms of the biological and physical world operate on length scales from 0.1 to 100 nm. At these dimensions, materials exhibit different physical properties; thus scientists expect that many novel effects at the nanoscale will be discovered and used for breakthrough technologies.

A number of important breakthroughs have already occurred in nanotechnology. These developments are found in products used throughout the world. Some examples are catalytic converters in automobiles that help remove air pollutants, devices in computers that read from and write to the hard disk, certain sunscreens and cosmetics that transparently block harmful radiation from the Sun, and special coatings for sports clothes and gear that help improve the gear and possibly enhance the athlete's performance. Still, many scientists, engineers, and technologists believe they have only scratched the surface of nanotechnology's potential.

Nanotechnology is in its infancy, and no one can predict with accuracy what will result from the full flowering of the field over the next several decades. Many scientists believe it can be said with confidence, however, that nanotechnology will have a major impact on medicine and health care; energy production and conservation; environmental cleanup and protection; electronics, computers, and sensors, and world security and defense.

Complete the blanks in the passage with the correct form of the word in capital.

There can be very few people who have not read about the 30.1 (DESTROY) of the rainforests, and fewer still would say that nothing should be done. However, the idea that this could be achieved by pressurizing developing countries is a highly dubious proposition.

It’s often suggested that the industrialized countries of the world have worked hard to limit population. To a certain 30.2 (LIMIT) extent, there’s some truth in this, and measures have been taken to stop the increase in CFCs and other ozone-destroying gases: some cars are fitted with catalytic converters, recycling is commonplace and lead-free petrol is widely 30.3 (AVAIL). However, the 30.4 (IMPLY) that we in the West are doing something to combat pollution whereas the developing world is not an oversimplification. We are continuing to pour billions of tons of 30.5 (POLLUTE) into the atmosphere every year.
