Atmospheric Physics is the study of physical processes in the atmosphere; understanding the climate and the weather, and the physical reasons __01__ it is as it is and how it might change in the future.

         
My own particular research background is in radiative transfer and __02__ I mean the transport of electromagnetic radiation through the atmosphere; __03__ the Sun's radiation coming in, getting absorbed and scattered in the air, and the transfer of heat radiation emitted by the Earth's surface.
        
From a __04__ physics perspective there’s an awful lot of things about the atmosphere that we don't understand, and of course, it's very classical physics in the __05__ that it’s looking at fluid dynamics and thermodynamics applied to the natural environment. What motivates us really is to try and explain what we see in the environment, what __06__ it and what might change it in the future, both in __07__ of local weather but also climate, by __08__ I mean larger areas and larger timescales.
         
My background has led me to an interest in how solar radiation __09__ in the atmosphere, so __10__ at how changes in the Sun might affect the climate for the past year.

On the mountain slopes south of Pompeii, a group of Roman citizens flee the doomed city, leaving their footprints in a layer of volcanic ash. Two thousand years later the footprints are rediscovered, and a joint Anglo-Italian dig is set up. Eminent Oxford archaeologist, Professor Julian Lockhart, unearths an exciting finding, but then he vanishes mysteriously.
English detectives Nick Roberts and Lucia Fabri go out to assist the Italian police with the investigation, unaware of the sinister forces – both human and natural – that lie in wait for them. Their subsequent race for survival sweeps them up in an eerie reenactment of historical events.

A synonym for the word "flee" is

(a) arrive
(b) investigate
(c) run away
(d) meet  
(e) face

Resposta:   C

"When I qualified as a military engineer, the wise old colonel who gave me my insignias said: "When you get to the front line, you will feel fear, but remember this: never fear the enemy, never fear the danger, only fear letting down those who have gone before you."

Which of the following comments could follow the previous scene?

(a) And that is what leaders call loneliness: its first aspect is that it is something that one really feels in times of crisis, when the sky is falling in around you and you are the only one who can make a decision as long as you are the first in command.
(b) And that is what leaders call humor: it is one of the things that I set great store by. A little bit
of humor at a time of crisis often just lifts the mood and gets you focused on something else.
(c) And that is what leaders call heritage: the sense of not just doing a job in the here and now, you belonging to something that’s got a fantastic foundation, and you feel responsible for its future.
(d) And that is what leaders call adaptability: it takes very different qualities to command a platoon at war, which is a tactical activity, and run a major change program in a large organization, which has to do with a more strategic leadership.
(e) And that is what leaders call delegation: delegators have a huge responsibility in terms of
judging the capability and competence of the people that they are giving the jobs to.

"Mars was warm enough to sustain lakes three billion years ago during the Hesperian Epoch, a period that was previously thought to be too cold and arid to sustain water on the surface, suggested a research published this January in the journal Geology. Dr Nicholas Warner, from the Department of Earth Science Engineering, said: "Most of the research on Mars has focused on its early history and the recent past. Scientists had largely overlooked the Hesperian Epoch as it was thought that Mars was then a frozen wasteland. Excitingly, our study now shows that this middle period in Mars’ history was much more dynamic than we previously imagined."" 

Which of the following alternatives is WRONG, according to the passage?

(a) The passage alludes to three different intervals of time in Mars' history.
(b) During the Hesperian Epoch, Mars was too cold and arid, clearing the possibility of lakes existence.
(c) Scientists in general used to neglect Mars' Hesperian Epoch.
(d) Mars has not always been a frozen wasteland.
(e) The Hesperian Epoch dates to three billion years ago.

Resposta:   B

"Dr Molly Stevens and her team in the Department of Materials and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering moved one step closer to understanding how to grow replacement bones with stem cell technology in July 2009. Dr Stevens, whose study was published in the journal Nature Materials, compared the ‘bone-like’ material grown from three different, commonly used, clinically relevant cell types and discovered that the materials that were grown from mouse skull and bone marrow stem cells successfully mimicked many of the hallmarks of real bone. She says: “It brings us one step closer to developing materials that will have the highest chance of success when implanted into patients.”

Which of the following headings is suitable to the passage?

(a) Scientists edge closer to implantable bone material.
(b) Scientists successfully implant bone marrow stem cells into patients.
(c) Bone-like material grown from mouse skull implanted into patients.
(d) Implanting replacement bones into mouse skull.
(e) Patient grew bone-like material from stem cell implanted by scientists.

Resposta:   A
