Early electronic computers such as Colossus made use of
punched tape, a long strip of paper on which data was
represented by a series of holes, a technology now obsolete.
Electronic data storage, which is used in modern computers,
dates from World War II, when a form of delay-line memory was
developed to remove the clutter from radar signals, the first
practical application of which was the mercury delay line. The
first random-access digital storage device was the Williams tube,
based on a standard cathode ray tube, but the information stored
in it was volatile in that it had to be continuously refreshed, and
thus was lost once power was removed. The earliest form of nonvolatile computer storage was the magnetic drum, invented in
1932 and used in the Ferranti Mark 1, the world’s first
commercially available general-purpose electronic computer.

Jack Kilby’s revolutionary idea was to make all the
different components of a circuit out of the same flat block of
semiconductor material. Not only would this get rid of wires and
faulty connections, it would make the entire circuit much more
compact. Kilby demonstrated his first “integrated circuit” on
Sept. 12, 1958.
Six months later, in California, another engineer, Robert
Noyce, independently came up with the idea of making an
integrated circuit. Noyce’s chip was better suited to be
manufactured in large numbers, and soon he was part of a young
company called Intel.
Thus was launched a revolution. The first chip-based
computer was the first U.S. Air Force computer, built in 1961.
The true potential of the integrated circuit was shown when
Texas Instruments unveiled the pocket calculator. Previously
calculators had been bulky devices that needed to be plugged in
to electrical mains. The pocket calculator, small enough to hold
in one’s palm, had a chip inside and batteries were adequate to
power it.
Progress was rapid thereafter. Many have already heard of
Moore’s law, which has become a mantra of the digital age. First
put forward by the Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s,
it says that the processing power of a chip doubles every two
years, while the price falls by half. For more than four decades,
Moore’s law has held, driving incredible growth and
miniaturization — and wealth.
The question is whether the semiconductor industry can
sustain this pace. Further increasing the processing power of
chips is proving to be problematic as certain fundamental
physical barriers are being reached. At the same time, new
frontiers are opening up. The quest is on to make chips that are
powered by light instead of electricity, which will enable much
faster computers.

Q1877491

In May 2021, a hole was found in a robotic arm aboard
the International Space Station (ISS). The suspected culprit was a
piece of rogue space junk. While thankfully no astronauts were
injured, it has re-focussed attention on the growing problem of
orbital debris.
How did we get here?
It’s easy to forget that just seven decades ago the Moon
was the only thing orbiting the Earth. On 1 January 2021 there
were 6,542 satellites in orbit. Tellingly, only just over half of
them were active. That’s a lot of useless metal careering around
the planet at 28,000 kph — ten times faster than a bullet.
How bad is the problem?
Very bad and getting worse. Estimates suggest there are
currently half a million pieces of debris the size of a marble or
larger and 100 million pieces of debris above one millimeter
across. Yet only 27,000 pieces are actively tracked by the US
Department of Defense.
What is Kessler syndrome?
It’s a catastrophic chain of events in which a satellite is
shattered by a piece of space junk (or a collision with another
satellite) and the resulting debris destroys more satellites creating
more junk and so on in a never-ending cascade. It’s a domino
effect – one piece falls and then takes the rest with it – and is
named after NASA scientist Donald Kessler, who outlined the
dangers back in 1978.
What can we do about it?
Better regulation of new launches would help, as right
now it’s a bit of a free-for-all. There are existing regulations in
place to try and mitigate the dangers, such as a 25-year de-orbit
rule for missions in low-Earth orbit. However, ESA’s Space
Debris Environment Report says that less than 60 per cent of
those flying in low-Earth orbit currently stick to the rules.
Colin Stuart. Space Junk: Is it a disaster waiting to happen?
Internet: <www.sciencefocus.com> (adapted).
Considering the text above, judge the following item.
According to the text, regulations related to space debris can
be considered lax at best.

The European Environment Agency (EEA) has published
a new indicator that tracks findings of pesticides in Europe’s
rivers, lakes and groundwaters. The data, collected from EEA
member countries across Europe, shows the share of water bodies
where excessive levels of pesticides have been recorded from
2013 to 2019.
The new EEA indicator shows that levels of pesticides
exceeding thresholds were measured in a quarter of all reported
monitoring sites in European surface waters in 2019. From 2013
to 2019, this share varied between 13% and 30%. The share for
groundwater with exceedances was considerably lower, at
between 3% and 7%.
In the EU, pesticides are regulated on the basis of high
protection goals for human health and the environment, with
being authorised only after a comprehensive scientific risk
assessment. Nevertheless, pesticide contamination of surface
waters and groundwater can still occur and could affect aquatic
fauna and flora.
Internet: <www.eea.europa.eu> (adapted).
According to the text above, judge the following item.
Contamination by pesticides in European waters is less likely to occur than in other places in the world due to strict control policies.

There’s growing evidence that people and the planet are
increasingly impacted by extreme events. According to the
Fourth National Climate Assessment, published in 2018 by the
U.S. Global Change Research Program, “more frequent and
intense extreme weather and climate-related events, as well as
changes in average climate conditions, are expected to continue
to damage infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems that
provide essential benefits to communities.”
As the impacts of extreme events continue to mount,
interest has grown in the scientific community to study whether
specific extreme events can be partially attributed to human
activities. With the help of climate models, scientists have
conducted an impressive array of studies, looking for possible
links between human activities and extreme events such as heat
waves, rainfall and flooding events, droughts, storms, and
wildfires. Increasingly, they’re able to draw robust connections.

Phishing
Imagine that you get an email one morning. It appears
to be from your bank. The email warns that someone
broke into your account. It says that you need to sign
in to check some things. You click the link in the email.
It takes you to a site that looks very much like your
bank’s. You enter your username and password. You
submit the form. You’ve just been phished!
Phishing is a type of attack that happens over the
Internet. Users receive an email or text message that
seems like it came from a trusted source. These users
are being deceived. They are interacting with dangerous hackers. The attackers copy trusted companies.
They send users to web pages that look like the ones
we use everyday. When users login or provide sensitive information, the attackers steal this data.
Attackers want your data for many reasons. They may
use your data to commit identity fraud. This is when
they use your identity to buy something with your credit. Then they receive the goods and you receive the bill.
Or they may want your password to take over a computer network. They may want access to private emails.
They may want customer records. They gain access by
tricking people into giving them their login info.
Some phishing attacks are targeted. A targeted
phishing attack is called a spear phishing attack. These
attacks are dangerous because they are convincing.
The attacker may know the target’s name, address,
or job title. They may have gathered info from social
networks, like the names of friends or family. The
attackers may use this personal information to craft a
believable email. The target will be tricked into clicking a link. The link will send them to a phony website.
This site will look familiar, but it will be a spoofed site
built to steal data. Any data that the target submits
will go to the hacker.
Phishing attacks are dangerous, but you can spot them
if you pay attention. One thing to watch is your address
bar in your browser. Attackers use domains that look
like the ones that we trust, but they are not the same.
For example, in 2016 staffers from Hillary Clinton’s
campaign were spear phished. The attackers used the
domain accounts-google.com. That domain looks like
google.com, but it isn’t the same. When logging into
google, you should always do it from google.com. Likewise, when logging into any account, make sure the
address matches what you expect. If you are unsure,
search for the site and login from the root domain.
An even better way to secure your account against
phishing attacks is to use 2FA: two factor authentication. 2FA means that your account is secured with
two keys. The first is your password. The second key is
a random code that changes every few minutes. This
code may be generated by a 2FA app, like Authy. Or it
can be sent to your cell phone on request. If you activate 2FA on your accounts, an attacker will not be able
to get in even with your password.
Phishing attacks are scary and common. The reason
why they are common is that they are effective. Many
people accept appearances without suspicion. Browsing the Internet safely requires a healthy amount of
suspicion. Not everything is what it appears. Nobody
is trying to give you free money. Don’t trust; verify.
In the sentence “This site will look familiar, but
it will be a spoofed site built to steal data.”, the correct definition for the word spoofed is in which
alternative?

google.com, but it isn’t the same. When logging into
google, you should always do it from google.com. Likewise, when logging into any account, make sure the
address matches what you expect. If you are unsure,
search for the site and login from the root domain.
An even better way to secure your account against
phishing attacks is to use 2FA: two factor authentication. 2FA means that your account is secured with
two keys. The first is your password. The second key is
a random code that changes every few minutes. This
code may be generated by a 2FA app, like Authy. Or it
can be sent to your cell phone on request. If you activate 2FA on your accounts, an attacker will not be able
to get in even with your password.
Phishing attacks are scary and common. The reason
why they are common is that they are effective. Many
people accept appearances without suspicion. Browsing the Internet safely requires a healthy amount of
suspicion. Not everything is what it appears. Nobody
is trying to give you free money. Don’t trust; verify.
Which alternative best describes the main idea of
the third paragraph?

“He remembered the time he had hooked one of a pair of marlin. The male fish always let the female fish feed first and the hooked fish, the female, made a wild, panic-stricken, despairing fight that soon exhausted her, and all the time the male had stayed with her, crossing the line and circling with her on the surface.
He had stayed so close that the old man was afraid he would cut the line with his tail which was sharp as a scythe and almost of that size and shape. When the old man had gaffed her and clubbed her, holding the rapier bill with its sandpaper edge and clubbing her across the top of her head until her colour turned to a colour almost like the backing of mirrors, and then, with the boy’s aid, hoisted her aboard, the male fish had stayed by the side of the boat.
Then, while the old man was clearing the lines and preparing the harpoon, the male fish jumped high into the air beside the boat to see where the female was and then went down deep, his lavender wings, that were his pectoral fins, spread wide and all his wide lavender stripes showing. He was beautiful, the old man remembered, and he had stayed.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a booklet entitled “Getting your workforce ready for Covid-19”. The eight-page document is organized by topics and in one of them, it is possible to read as follows:
Promote regular and thorough hand-washing by employees, contractors and customers:
a. Put sanitizing hand rub dispensers in prominent places around the workplace;
b. Make sure these dispensers are regularly refilled;
c. Display posters promoting hand-washing– ask your local public health authority for these or look on www.WHO.int;
d. Combine this with other communication measures such as offering guidance from occupational health and safety officers, briefings at meetings and information on the intranet to promote hand-washing;
e. Make sure that staff, contractors and customers have access to places where they can wash their hands with soap and water;
f. Why? Because washing kills the virus on your hands and prevents the spread of Covid-19.

Petroleum Alternatives. A new promising source
Human consumption of fossil fuels is expected to fully deplete the Earth’s crude oil reserves by the year 2060. As underground reservoirs of oil continue to shrink, we have no choice but to find alternatives. One promising source, with much cleaner emissions, is called bio-diesel. Bio-diesel is often made from soybean oil, although it can be made from any vegetable oil that is not elementally different from soy. Bio-diesel can even be made from used cooking oils that homes or restaurants would otherwise dispose of. Biodiesel can be used without constraint in any vehicle that runs on diesel—no modifications are needed. Presently, diesel engines can take up to 20 percent soy in their soy-diesel blend. As the need for bio-diesel increases and the technology improves, we may soon witness the extinction of the fossil-fueled vehicle.This is good news for the planet, as biodiesel is a more stable source of energy than petroleum, and it reduces contamination of our air and water.
According to the Text, why is bio-diesel a good news for the planet?
