TASK 5. (0–4) Read the article. Four passages have been removed from the text. Complete each gap (5.1.–5.4.) with the passage which fits best and put the appropriate letter (A–F) in each gap. There are two passages which you do not need to use. HOW ASTRONAUTS SPEND THEIR TIME IN SPACE For the majority of people, a typical day is as follows: a nine-to-five job, some downtime in the evening getting ready for the day ahead, and two days off at the weekend. 5.1. _____ Decades of space missions have allowed us to reach this point, and along the way, we’ve overcome many challenges. NASA has successfully launched over 200 crewed space flights. In the pioneering days of the 1960s, American astronauts travelled to space on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions that lasted days, in small cramped spacecraft with crews of up to three. 5.2. _____ The first of these took place on a fully functioning space station called Skylab, which contained the crew’s quarters, cooking facilities, and even a running track. This represented NASA’s early attempt at making life more comfortable for the astronauts on missions which lasted up to several months. To design Skylab, NASA went so far as to bring in an interior designer, Raymond Loewy. He approached the task with a few principles in mind: eight hours of daily solitude and mealtimes shared together facing each other. With this fresh design also came the idea that astronauts could spend their time in space in a more pleasant way. 5.3. _____ In fact, the crew was given such a jam-packed list of tasks to complete every day with so little free time to relax that the outcome was overwork and frustration. As a result, the astronauts were simply drained. At some point they even refused to perform certain tasks. 5.4. _____ Nowadays, one of the most popular pastimes on the International Space Station involves floating down to European Space Agency’s Cupola module, which affords a glorious view of Earth. Adapted from: www.smithsonianmag.com Strona 10 z 20 MJAA-D0-100 A. The researchers showed that the crew members needed some time for themselves, and consequently, Skylab was the first space station created with astronauts well-being in mind. The little things that could make life better became a factor. Not only in the schedule and leisure time, but just from a creature comforts perspective. B. The astronauts were contented with this new approach. At first they were even able to accomplish more than was anticipated. On the second Skylab mission, they overperformed, achieving 150 percent of their mission requirements. That made NASA expect even more on the final mission. But things didn’t go smoothly. C. Teamwork, planning, and communication are crucial on the International Space Station because something could go wrong at any moment. Everyone needs to be on the same page to have a clear understanding of how they are going to complete their work. D. Surprisingly, astronauts have a very similar schedule, with time to unwind, barring any cause for alarm on the International Space Station that requires immediate attention. While it might seem obvious now, consideration for an astronaut’s work-life balance and mental health was not always a priority. E. On these quests to orbit Earth, and eventually to land on the Moon, every minute was invaluable, that is why the astronauts’ well-being wasn’t necessarily taken into consideration. However, this attitude changed over the course of the following decade when NASA was considering prolonged human spaceflight missions. F.

an advantage today’s explorers enjoy when they are on a long-distance hike?

TASK 6. (0–4) Read the text. For questions 6.1.–6.4., choose the appropriate paragraph and write the corresponding letter (A–E) in the table. One paragraph does not match any of the questions. In which paragraph does the author refer to 6.1. an advantage today’s explorers enjoy when they are on a long-distance hike? 6.2. a route taken on the basis of misinformation? 6.3. an unfortunate outcome of ignoring safety notices? 6.4. a doubt cast on one of Darwin’s findings? FOLLOWING IN CHARLES DARWIN’S FOOTSTEPS A. From the nine times I have made the journey to the Galápagos Islands to follow in Charles Darwin’s footsteps, the most enduring impression I have gained is of life’s fragility. The minute a person steps off any of the tourist trails and heads into the untamed interior of one of the islands, there is the risk of death under the intense equatorial sun. On Santa Cruz Island, 17 people have disappeared since 1990. Some were subsequently found alive after having become lost in dense underbrush and volcanic terrain; the others weren’t so lucky. Although signs in numerous places say bluntly, “Do not go beyond this point. You could die,” not everybody complies. B. Making the same journey as Darwin, one begins to understand the hardships that he endured, which are not apparent to readers of his works. Trekking distances here are dictated by how much water one can carry, which limits each excursion to about three days; longer excursions require provisions to be stashed along the route. To Darwin, such logistics would have been even more problematic, as he did not have the modern lightweight equipment we have at our disposal. Still, with characteristic understatement, reflecting perhaps his excellent physical condition, Darwin wrote of the 3,000-foot climb to the summit of Santiago merely that the walk was “a long one”. C. During one of the expeditions, I came to appreciate much more profoundly than I would have liked, Darwin’s comparison of Galápagos lava flows to “infernal regions”. When we were on Santiago, where Darwin had camped, our guides had suggested a shortcut across a coastal lava flow. What none of us could have known was that it involved more than eight miles of almost continuous lava rock – not just the mile or two that our guides had led us to expect. A six-hour excursion became a 51-hour nightmare as we climbed over piles of blocks with razor-sharp edges. Strona 12 z 20 MJAA-D0-100 D. On another occasion, I accompanied the botanist, Alan Tye, on a search for a rare plant which Darwin had collected in 1835. The plant hadn’t been seen for a century, causing some to question the locality reported by Darwin. Fortunately, we did find the plant, resolving the mystery and vindicating Darwin’s record. However, our expedition was not without trials. At one point, while using a machete to clear our way, I inadvertently cut a branch of a tree whose fruit is poisonous to humans. Some of the tree’s sap got onto my wristband and then into my eyes. The sting was almost unbearable, and dousing my eyes with water did nothing to help. E. Darwin personally reported no afflictions during his own Galápagos visit, although he did complain about a shortage of fresh water and the oppressive heat. More than once, he was reminded of the potentially fatal consequences of excursions into the Galápagos wilds. One should not be surprised, then, that while Darwin was engaged in fieldwork, he would have focused his attention substantially on surviving the many hazards of the Galápagos. But the truth is that Darwin became convinced of the theory of evolution, eureka-like, during his visit to the islands. How could he not have been? In retrospect, the evidence for evolution seems so compelling here. Adapted from: www.smithsonianmag.com TRANSFER YOUR ANSWERS TO THE ANSWER SHEET!
