the correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 35.
The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of
Europe, but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with
Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood.
The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a
climax forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points.
Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who
pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had
risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.
The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was
a foundation of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree
unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as a fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was
used as a source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal,
a component of gunpowder, and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at
that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of
trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron ore
and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain
developed coke smelting, the colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and
besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technological innovations
and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the
former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led
them to cling to charcoal iron.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 42 to 46.
In April 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made history when he became the first man
to travel in space. On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to
walk on the Moon. Now that humans have been to the Moon and robots have been sent to Mars,
some people believe the next step is for humans to visit Mars. There's no doubt that the first
person to walk on Mars will become as famous as Gagarin or Armstrong, and many astronauts
would love the opportunity. But what is space travel really like for the men and women who go on
these missions?
Many astronauts suffer physical problems on these missions, even if they are in space for
just a few months. Some of these problems are short-lived; others may be long-lasting. More than
two-thirds of all astronauts suffer from motion sickness while traveling in space. In an
environment without gravity, the body cannot tell up from down. The body's internal balance
system sends confusing signals to the brain, which can result in nausea lasting as long as a few
days. The amount of blood and other fluids in the body also ends up being distributed differently
after an extended period of time in this environment. More fluid than normal ends up in the face,
neck, and chest, resulting in a puffy face, bulging neck veins, and a slightly enlarged heart.
In addition to physical difficulties, astronauts who travel for long periods may also suffer
from psychological stress. Space travel requires astronauts to be very focused, balanced people.
The irregular sleep, long working hours, and the lack of night and day can affect a person's
emotions and stress level.
Being able to control one's emotions is an important characteristic for an astronaut. A major
factor that affects astronauts' mental well-being is time. To date, astronauts have only spent a few
months in space at a time, but longer expeditions would require astronauts to spend significantly
more time inside a spaceship. Being confined in a small space for such a long period of time is not
healthy.
Astronauts- especially those who achieved significant “firsts” such as Gagarin and
Armstrong-are often seen as exciting adventurers. This may be accurate, but it's also worth
remembering their dedication and the sacrifices they make to explore our universe.
