Come "fly" over the Rainforest - We'll take your breath away!
Located in Cairns, Australia, Rainforest Flyway is a world leader in ecotourism. We lake our guests on a
breathtaking “'flight” over rainforest trees and straight into the heart of the rainforest for an unforgettable experience.
On the Flyway, you’ll experience over 7.5 kilometers of living rainforests while learning about this
spectacular place. Did you know that Australia’s rainforests are home to over 3,000 different plant species?
And some of the trees here are more than 3,000 years old! After this visit you’ll understand why it’s so
important to preserve the rainforests. And you’ll see that environmentally responsible travel can be fun,
educational, and breathtaking.
Even if you’re a world traveler, you’ve never experienced anything like the Rainforest Flyway. You’ll
start your unique journey above the rainforest, as you “fly” in a comfortable gondola only a few meters
above the trees. Sit back and enjoy the extraordinary scenery. You will be amazed at the breathtakingly rich
and lush foliage. And rest assured, there was no damage done to the rainforest ecology during the
construction of your gondola. That’s why the development of the Fly way took over 40 months to complete.
Your gondola will bring you down into the rainforest itself, where you follow a path to see, hear, and
smell the rainforest environment from the ground. Free tours are available several times a day. Tour guides
can point out some unusual plants, provide you with interesting facts about rainforest ecology, and answer your questions.
Your Rainforest Fly way experience lasts 90 minutes and ends in the small town of Kuranda, just 25
kilometers northwest of Cairns. Here, you can continue your eco-tour with a visit to the protected areas that
2,000 tropical butterflies call home. You can also buy original arts and crafts made by the people of
Kuranda. And if that isn’t enough, you can continue on to the wildlife reserve located a short 9 kilometers
west of Kuranda to see animals from all parts of the world.
Rainforest Flyway has won numerous awards, including Travel Planet magazine’s “Best Ecotourism
Destination”. Call or visit us online to make your reservations.

READING COMPREHENSION 2
History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films,
or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in
1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small
band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound
that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called 'synchronized sound' – began soon
after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing
and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and
dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could
become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector
changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be
read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing
synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually
brought us 'talking pictures'.
1. The passage is mainly about the ________________. A. history of silent movies
B. disadvantages of synchronized sound
C. development of sound with movies
D. research into sound reproduction
2. The word 'screenings' in is closest in meaning to ________________. A. projections
B. revelations C. demonstrations D. diversions
3. It can be inferred that ________________.
A. most movie theaters had a pianist
B. sound-effects machines were not common because they were expensive
C. orchestras couldn't synchronize sound with the pictures
D. gramophones were developed about the same time as moving pictures.
4. The phrase 'these signals' refers to ________________. A. sounds B. series C. marks D. sensors
5. According to the passage, sound-on-film guaranteed synchronization because the recording was ________________.
A. made during the film of the picture. B. read by an optical sensor
C. inserted beside the image on the film D. marked on the gramophone KEY 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.C 5.C READING COMPREHENSION 3
History of telegraph in communication
Jean-Antoine Nollet was a French clergyman and physicist. In 1746 he gathered about two hundred monks
into a circle about a mile (1.6 km) in circumference, with pieces iron wire connecting them. He then
discharged a battery of Leyden jars through the human chain and observed that each man reacted at
substantially the same time to the electric shock, showing that the speed of electricity's propagation was
very high. Given a more humane detection system, this could be a way of signaling over long distances. In 1
748, Nollet invented one of the first electrometers, the electroscope, which detected the presence of an
electric charge by using electrostatic attraction and repulsion.
After the introduction of the European semaphore lines in 1792, the world's desire to further its ability to
communicate from a distance only grew. People wanted a way to send and receive news from remote
locations so that they could better understand what was happening in the world around them—not just what
was going on in their immediate town or city. This type of communication not only appealed to the media
industry, but also to private individuals and companies who wished to stay in touch with contacts. In 1840
Charles Wheatstone from Britain, with William Cooke, obtained a new patent for a telegraphic arrangement.
The new apparatus required only a single pair of wires, but the telegraph was still too costly for general
purposes. In 1 845, however, Cooke and Wheatstone succeeded in producing the single needle apparatus,
which they patented, and from that time the electric telegraph became a practical instrument, soon adopted
on all the railway lines of the country.
It was the European optical telegraph, or semaphore, that was the predecessor of the electrical recording
telegraph that changed the history of communication forever. Building on the success of the optical
telegraph, Samuel F. B. Morse completed a working version of the electrical recording telegraph, which
only required a single wire to send code of dots and dashes. At first, it was imagined that only a few highly
skilled encoders would be able to use it but it soon became clear that many people could become proficient
in Morse code. A system of lines strung on telegraph poles began to spread in Europe and America.
In the 1840s and 1850s several individuals proposed or advocated construction of a telegraph cable across
the Atlantic Ocean, including Edward Thornton and Alonzo Jackman. At that time there was no material
available for cable insulation and the first breakthrough came with the discovery of a rubber-like latex called
gutta percha. Introduced to Britain in 1843, gutta percha is the gum of a tree native to the Malay Peninsula
and Malaysia. After the failure of their first cable in 1850, the British brothers John and Jacob Brett laid a
successful submarine cable from Dover to Calais in 1851. This used two layers of gutta percha insulation
and an armoured outer layer. With thin wire and thick insulation, it floated and had to be weighed down with lead pipe.
In the case of first submarine-cable telegraphy, there was the limitation of knowledge of how its electrical
properties were affected by water. The voltage which may be impressed on the cable was limited to a
definite value. Moreover, for certain reasons, the cable had an impedance associated with it at the sending
end which could make the voltage on the cable differ from the voltage applied to the sending-end apparatus.
In fact, the cable was too big for a single boat, so two had to start in the middle of the Atlantic, join their
cables and sail in opposite directions. Amazingly, the first official telegram to pass between two continents
was a letter of congratulation from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom to the President of the United
States, James Buchanan, on August 16, 1 858. However, signal quality declined rapidly, slowing
transmission to an almost unusable speed and the cable was destroyed the following month.
To complete the link between England and Australia, John Pender formed the British- Australian Telegraph
Company. The first stage was to lay a 557nm cable from Singapore to Batavia on the island of Java in 1870.
It seemed likely that it would come ashore qt the northern port of Darwin from where it might connect
around the coast to Queensland and New South Wales. It was an undertaking more ambitious than spanning
ocean. Flocks of sheep had to be driven with the 400 workers to provide food. They needed horses and
bullock carts and, for the parched interior, camels. In the north, tropical rains left the teams flooded. In the
centre, it seemed that they would die of thirst. One critical section in the red heart of Australia involved
finding a route through the McDonnell mountain range and then finding water on the other side. The water
was not only essential for the construction teams. There had to be telegraph repeater stations every few
hundred miles to boost the signal and the staff obviously had to have a supply of water.
On August 22, 1872, the Northern and Southern sections of the Overland Telegraph Line were connected,
uniting the Australian continent and within a few months, Australia was at last in direct contact with
England via the submarine cable, too. This allowed the Australian Government to receive news from around
the world almost instantaneously for the first time. It could cost several pounds to send a message and it
might take several hours for it to reach its destination on the other side of the globe, but the world would
never be the same again. The telegraph was the first form of communication over a great distance and was a landmark in human history. Question 1-4

Air pollution is a cause of ill- health in human being. In a lot of countries there have laws limiting the amount of
smoke which factories can produce. Despite there isn’t enough information on the effects of smoke in asmosphere,
doctors have proved that air pollution causes lung diseases. The gases from the exhausts of cars have also increasing
air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol products a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets
surrounding by high buildings. Children who live in areas that there is a lot of lead in the asmosphere cannot think as
qui ck as other children and are clumsy when they use them hands. Ther are other long-term affects of pollution. If the
gases in the asmosphere continue to increase, the earth’s climate may become warmest. A lot of the ice near the Poles
may melt and may cause serious floods.
