 TIL-READING COMPREHENSION TEST

Today, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the world. Many people ride
bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a means of transportation. The first bicycle, called a
draisienne, was invented in Germany in 1818 by Baron Karl de Drais de Sauerbrun. Because it was made
of wood, the draisienne wasn’t very durable nor did it have pedals. Riders moved it by pushing their feet
against the ground.
In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much better bicycle. Macmillan’s
machine had tires with iron rims to keep them from getting worn down. He also used foot-operated
cranks, similar to pedals, so his bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn’t look much like the
modern bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front wheel. Although
Macmillan’s bicycles could be ridden easily, they were never produced in large numbers.
In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle with an improved crank
mechanism. They called their bicycle a vélocipède, but most people called it a “bone shaker” because of
the jarring effect of the wood and iron frame. Despite the unflattering nickname, the vélocipède was a
hit. After a few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually, mostly for
fun-seeking young people.

Ten years later, James Starley, an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized bicycle
design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the pedals to
make the bicycle more efficient, and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes. Although this bicycle
was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy, extremely top- heavy, and ridden mostly for
entertainment.
It wasn’t until 1874 that the first truly modern bicycle appeared on the scene. Invented by another
Englishman, H.J. Lawson, the safety bicycle would look familiar to today’s cyclists. The safety bicycle had
equal-sized wheels, which made it much less prone to toppling over. Lawson also attached a chain to the
pedals to drive the rear wheel. By 1893, the safety bicycle had been further improved with air-filled
rubber tires, a diamond- shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided by Lawson,
bicycles became extremely popular and useful for transportation. Today, they are built, used, and
enjoyed all over the world.

1) This passage was most likely written in order to

A) Persuade readers to use bicycles for transportation.
B) Describe the problems that bicycle manufacturers encounter.
C) Tell readers a little about the history of the bicycle
D)Compare bicycles used for fun with bicycles used for transportation.
2) The first person to use a gear system on bicycles was;
A) H.J. Lawson.
B) Kirkpatrick Macmillan.
C) Pierre Michaux.
D) James Starley.

3) Which of the following statements from the passage represents the writer’s opinion?

A) The safety bicycle would look familiar to today’s cyclists.

B) Two hundred years ago, bicycles didn’t even exist.

C) The Michaux brothers called their bicycle a vélocipède.

D) Macmillan’s machine had tires with iron rims.

One of the most hazardous conditions a fire- fighter will ever encounter is a backdraft (also
known as a smoke explosion). A backdraft can occur in the hot-smoldering phase of a fire when
burning is incomplete and there is not enough oxygen to sustain the fire. Unburned carbon
particles and other flammable products, combined with the intense heat, may cause
instantaneous combustion if more oxygen reaches the fire.
Firefighters should be aware of the conditions that indicate the possibility for a backdraft to
occur. When there is a lack of oxygen during a fire, the smoke becomes filled with carbon
dioxide or carbon monoxide and turns dense gray or black. Other warning signs of a potential
back- draft are little or no visible flame, excessive heat, smoke leaving the building in puffs,
muffled sounds, and smoke-stained windows.
Proper ventilation will make a backdraft less likely. Opening a room or building at the highest
point allows heated gases and smoke to be released gradually. However, suddenly breaking a
window or opening a door is a mistake, because it allows oxygen to rush in, causing an explosion.

4) Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a potential backdraft warning sign?

A) windows stained with smoke

B) flames shooting up from the building
C) puffs of smoke leaving the building
D) more intense heat than usual
5) A backdraft is a dangerous condition for firefighters mainly because
A) there is not enough oxygen for breathing.
B) the heat is extremely intense.
C) the smoke is dangerously thick.

D) an explosion occurs.

6) When compared with a hot, smoldering fire, a fire with visible, high-reaching flames
A) has more oxygen available for combustion.
B) has more carbon dioxide available for consumption.

C) produces more dense gray smoke.

D) is more likely to cause a backdraft.
