In which paragraph does the author mention

an incident that could have had disastrous consequences for the building which
4.1.
housed the observatory?

4.2. a physically demanding solution to a problem faced by the meteorologists?

4.3. the length of time needed to convert data to make it more widely available?

4.4. a large contribution made in response to a call for donations?

4.5. the reason for the closure of the observatory?

SNOWED UNDER

A. The observatory on the summit of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United
Kingdom, was set up by the Scottish Meteorological Society. A public appeal was
launched to fund its construction. Queen Victoria is known to have given a generous sum,
but there were also other sponsors. Between 1883, when the observatory opened, and
1904, when its closure was announced, meteorologists at the site undertook detailed
weather observations. They gathered comprehensive information about atmospheric
phenomena.

B. The observations were published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh
and they are some of the most detailed records of the weather in the Victorian era. But
what was it like to live and work on Ben Nevis? The weather conditions were severe:
100 mph winds were common, the temperature would sometimes drop to –15oC, and
the weathermen lived “inside a cloud” for most of the year. One winter, heavy blizzards
left the summit covered in a 5 ft (1.5 m) layer of snow and they found themselves snowed
in, so they had no other choice but to undertake the exhausting task of digging tunnels to
leave the observatory. Despite the harsh conditions on Ben Nevis, the meteorologists
carried on with their work.

Strona 6 z 20 MJAP-R0-100

C. Sometimes they had to develop unusual solutions in order to perform their duties, and
they always had to be prepared for the unexpected. Once, the observatory was struck by
lightning, which came down the chimney and set the wooden panels of the interior on fire.
Fortunately, the blaze was speedily and fairly effortlessly extinguished. Due to a lack of
public funding and private donations, the weather station ceased operating in October
1904, though the outcome of the meteorologists’ work lives on.

D. The ambition of the meteorologists was to make the data they collected accessible to aid
weather forecasting and mountain meteorology. Following the closure of the observatory,
the data lay hidden in dusty archives for a long time. However, they were recently
republished in digital form. More than 3,500 volunteers accomplished the digitization in
less than three months. This success may result from the fact that the story of the
meteorologists living in such a remote observatory and hostile environment was
a wonderful inspiration. The undertaking received extensive media coverage. Social
media were most helpful in spreading information about the digitization and providing
regular updates on its progress.

2. a physically demanding solution to a problem faced by the meteorologists?
3. the length of time needed to convert data to make it more widely available?
4. a large contribution made in response to a call for donations?
5. the reason for the closure of the observatory?

Snowed under
A.
The observatory on the summit of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United Kingdom, was set up by the Scottish Meteorological Society. A public appeal was launched to fund its construction. Queen Victoria is known to have given a generous sum, but there were also other sponsors. Between 1883, when the observatory opened, and 1904, when its closure was announced, meteorologists at the site undertook detailed weather observations. They gathered comprehensive information about atmospheric phenomena.

B.
The observations were published in the “Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh” and they are some of the most detailed records of the weather in the Victorian era. But what was it like to live and work on Ben Nevis? The weather conditions were severe:
100 mph winds were common, the temperature would sometimes drop to –15oC, and the weathermen lived “inside a cloud” for most of the year. One winter, heavy blizzards left
the summit covered in a 5 ft (1.5 m) layer of snow and they found themselves snowed in, so they had no other choice but to undertake the exhausting task of digging tunnels to leave the observatory. Despite the harsh conditions on Ben Nevis, the meteorologists carried on with their work.

C.
Sometimes they had to develop unusual solutions in order to perform their duties, and they always had to be prepared for the unexpected. Once, the observatory was struck by lightning, which came down the chimney and set the wooden panels of the interior on fire. Fortunately, the blaze was speedily and fairly effortlessly extinguished. Due to a lack of public funding and private donations, the weather station ceased operating in October 1904, though the outcome of the meteorologists’ work lives on.

D.
The ambition of the meteorologists was to make the data they collected accessible to aid weather forecasting and mountain meteorology. Following the closure of the observatory, the data lay hidden in dusty archives for a long time. However, they were recently republished in digital form. More than 3,500 volunteers accomplished the digitization in less than three months.

5. the reason for the closure of the observatory?

Snowed under
A.
The observatory on the summit of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United Kingdom, was set up by the Scottish Meteorological Society. A public appeal was launched to fund its construction. Queen Victoria is known to have given a generous sum, but there were also other sponsors. Between 1883, when the observatory opened, and 1904, when its closure was announced, meteorologists at the site undertook detailed weather observations. They gathered comprehensive information about atmospheric phenomena.

B.
The observations were published in the “Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh” and they are some of the most detailed records of the weather in the Victorian era. But what was it like to live and work on Ben Nevis? The weather conditions were severe:
100 mph winds were common, the temperature would sometimes drop to –15oC, and the weathermen lived “inside a cloud” for most of the year. One winter, heavy blizzards left
the summit covered in a 5 ft (1.5 m) layer of snow and they found themselves snowed in, so they had no other choice but to undertake the exhausting task of digging tunnels to leave the observatory. Despite the harsh conditions on Ben Nevis, the meteorologists carried on with their work.

C.
Sometimes they had to develop unusual solutions in order to perform their duties, and they always had to be prepared for the unexpected. Once, the observatory was struck by lightning, which came down the chimney and set the wooden panels of the interior on fire. Fortunately, the blaze was speedily and fairly effortlessly extinguished. Due to a lack of public funding and private donations, the weather station ceased operating in October 1904, though the outcome of the meteorologists’ work lives on.

D.
The ambition of the meteorologists was to make the data they collected accessible to aid weather forecasting and mountain meteorology. Following the closure of the observatory, the data lay hidden in dusty archives for a long time. However, they were recently republished in digital form. More than 3,500 volunteers accomplished the digitization in less than three months. This success may result from the fact that the story of the meteorologists living in such a remote observatory and hostile environment was a wonderful inspiration. The undertaking received extensive media coverage. Social media were most helpful in spreading information about the digitization and providing regular updates on its progress.

CHALKING DAY

It’s early morning and I am standing in the valley near the village of Uffington in Oxfordshire,
England, looking up at the high curve of grassland above me. One thing dominates the view.
Across the side of the hill runs an enormous white stick figure, a horse cut from the chalk.
It has a thin body, a curiously long tail and a round eye set in a square head. This is the
Uffington White Horse, the oldest of the English hill figures, the size of a football field and
visible from 20 miles away. 5.1. _____ They are volunteers who are coming to clean it.

It’s chalking day, a cleaning ritual that has happened here regularly for three millennia.
Hammers, buckets of chalk and kneepads are handed out, and then everyone is allocated
an area. 5.2. _____ Commenting on the job they are doing, one of the participants
jokes: “It’s the world’s largest colouring book.”

“Chalking” the horse was already an ancient custom when the historian Francis Wise wrote
about it in 1736. 5.3. _____ These days, it’s a quieter event. The only sounds are the wind,
distant birdsong and the thumping of hammers on the chalk. Still, the tradition of maintaining
the horse’s elegant lines and clearing it of weeds is continued. The volunteers of today are
following in the footsteps of the ancients, caring for the horse in much the same way as it
was done 3,000 years ago.

It might seem strange that the horse has such an unstable form, which tends to disappear
slowly with the passing of time. 5.4. _____ The need to maintain it might have been the
horse’s original function – to gather people to do a common task. Today’s cleaning is thus
an echo of an early ritual.

Up on the hill, it’s not possible to view the whole horse at once; the curve of the slope gets in
the way and the sheer scale of it confuses the eye. It is only from the valley below that the
whole picture can be taken in. 5.5. _____ Reportedly, they even arrange their rooms so that
they sit facing the horse.

A. Back then, thousands of people used to come for the chalking every four years, after
which they held a fair, with dancing and singing, in the circle of a prehistoric fort nearby.

B. Looking at the lower part of the slope, I notice the small figures of people climbing slowly
towards the hillside where the chalk horse is.

C. To the people who live there, the white figure of a horse springing timelessly across
the side of the hill is part of the background of their daily life.

D. For example, during World War II, it was covered over with grass and leaves so that
Luftwaffe bombers couldn’t use it for navigation.

E. Archaeologists, however, believe this could have been intentional, as from the start
the horse required regular upkeep to stay visible.

F. The cleaners, commonly called “chalkers”, kneel and whiten the stony pathways with
chalk inch by inch.

A. Back then, thousands of people used to come for the chalking every four years, after
which they held a fair, with dancing and singing, in the circle of a prehistoric fort nearby.

B. Looking at the lower part of the slope, I notice the small figures of people climbing slowly
towards the hillside where the chalk horse is.

C. To the people who live there, the white figure of a horse springing timelessly across
the side of the hill is part of the background of their daily life.

D. For example, during World War II, it was covered over with grass and leaves so that
Luftwaffe bombers couldn’t use it for navigation.

E. Archaeologists, however, believe this could have been intentional, as from the start
the horse required regular upkeep to stay visible.

F. The cleaners, commonly called “chalkers”, kneel and whiten the stony pathways with
chalk inch by inch.
