 IELTS Listening The History Of Weather Forecasting listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Science / Historical Lecture subject.

Lecturer: In this series of lectures about the history of weather forecasting, I’ll start by examining its early history that will be the subject of today’s talk. Okay, so we’ll start by going back thousands of years. Most ancient cultures had weather gods on DH, whether catastrophes such as floods played an important role in many creation myths generally, whether was attributed to the whims of the gods as the wide range of weather gods in various culture. Cher’s shows, for instance, there’s the Egyptian sun God rot on DH thought, the north gold of thunder and lightning. Many ancient civilizations Developed writes such as  Q31 dances in order to make the weather gods look kindly on them.

But the weather was off daily importance. Observing the skies and drawing the correct conclusions from these observations was really important. In fact, their Q32 survival depended on it. It isn’t known when people first started to observe the skies, but at around 650 BC The Babylonian Sze produced the first short-range weather forecasts based on their observations of Q33 clouds on DH. Other phenomena. The Chinese also recognised weather patterns on by 300 BC Astronomers had developed a calendar which divided the year into 24 Q34 festivals, each associated with a different weather phenomenon.

The ancient Greeks were the first to develop a more scientific approach to explaining the weather. The work of the philosopher and scientist Aristotle in the fourth century BC is especially noteworthy as his ideas held sway for nearly 2000 years. In 340 BC, He wrote a book in which he attempted to account for the formation of rain clouds wind on DH storms. He also described celestial phenomena such as halos that is bright circles of light around the sun, the moon, and bright stars on DH Q35 comets.

Many of his observations were surprisingly accurate. For example, he believed that heat could cause water to evaporate. But he also jumped to quite a few wrong conclusions, such as that winds are breathed out by the earth. Errors like this were rectified from the Renaissance onwards for nearly 2000 years, Aristotle’s work was accepted as the chief authority on weather theory. Alongside this, though, in the Middle Ages, whether observations were passed on in the form of proverbs such as red Q36 sky at night, Shepherd’s delight red sky in the Morning, and Shepherd’s warning.

Many of these are based on very good observations on are accurate. As contemporary meteorologists have discovered for centuries. Any attempt to forecast the weather could only be based on personal observations, But in the 15th century, scientists began to see the need for Q37 instruments. Until then, the only ones available were weathervanes to determine the wind direction on DH early versions of rain gauges. One of the first invented in the 15th century was a high Graham Attar, which measured humidity. This was one of many inventions that contributed to the development of weather forecasting. In 15 92 the Italian scientist and inventor Galileo developed the world’s first Q38 thermometer His student, Torricelli, later invented the Barone emitter, which allowed people to measure atmospheric pressure. In 16 48 the French philosopher Pascal proved that pressure decreases with altitude. This discovery was verified by English astronomer Halley in 16 86 and Holly was also the first person to map trade winds. This increasing ability to measure factors related to weather helped scientists to understand the atmosphere and its process is better. Andi. They started collecting whether observation data systematically in the 18th century, the scientists and politician Benjamin Franklin carried out work on electricity and lightning in particular. But he was also very interested in weather and studied it. Throughout most of his life, it was Franklin who discovered that Q39 storms generally travel from west to east. In addition to new meteorological instruments. Other developments contributed to our understanding of the atmosphere. People in different locations began to keep records, and in the mid-19th century, the invention of the Q40 telegraphs made it possible for these records to be collected. This led by the end of the 19th century to the first weather services. It was not until the early 20th century that mathematics and physics became part of meteorology on DH. We’ll continue from that point next week.

IELTS LISTENING – Woolly Mammoths on St Paul’s Island S19T3

IELTS SIMULATOR ONLINE ACADEMIC LISTENING EASY DEMO – Woolly Mammoths on St Paul’s Island S19AT3 FREE COMPUTER DELIVERED ONLINE IELTS SIMULATION
IELTS Listening Woolly Mammoths on St Paul’s Island listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Science / History subject. 

Tutor: So, Rosie and Martin, let’s look at what you’ve got for your presentation on woolly mammoths.

Rosie: Okay, We’ve got a short outline here.

Tutor: Thanks. S. So it’s about a research project in North America?

 
🎧Attempt Free Listening Test…

Martin: Yes, but we thought we needed something general about woolly mammoths in our introduction to establish that they were related to our modern elephant. And Q21 they lived thousands of years ago in the last ice age.

Rosie: Maybe we could show a video clip of a cartoon about Mammoth

That would be a bit childish. Or we could have a diagram. Q23 It could be a timeline to show when they lived with illustrations.

Martin: Or we could just show a drawing of them walking in the ice. No, let’s go with your last suggestion.

Tutor: Good. Then you’re describing the discovery of the mammoth, tooth, on St Paul’s Island in Alaska. On why it was significant

Rosie: Yes. The tooth was found by a man called Russell Graham. He picked it up from under a rock in the cave. He knew it was special for a start Q22 it within really good condition as if it had been just extracted from the animals. Jule Bone. Anyway, they found it was 6500 years old.

Tutor: So why was that significant?

Rosie: Well, the mammoth bones previously found on the North American mainland were much less recent than that. So this was really amazing.

Martin: Then we’re making an animated diagram to show the geography of the area in prehistoric times. So, originally, some Pause Island wasn’t an island. It was connected to the mainland on mammoths and other animals, like bears were able to roam around the whole area.

Rosie: Then the climate warmed up on the sea, levels began to rise, and the islands got cut off from the mainland. So those mammoths on the island couldn’t escape. They had to stay on the island.

Martin: And in fact, the species survived there for thousands of years after they’d become extinct on the mainland.

Tutor: So why do you think they died out on the mainland?

Rosie: No one? Sure.

Martin: Anyway, next will explain how Graham and his team identified the date. When the mammoths became extinct on the island, Q24 they concluded that the extinction happened 5600 years ago, which is a very precise time for a prehistoric extinction. It’s based on samples they took from mud at the bottom of a lake on the island. They analysed it to find out what had fallen in overtime, bits of plants, volcanic ash, and even DNA from the mammoth themselves. It’s standard procedure, but it took nearly two years to do.

Tutor: So why don’t you quickly go through the main sections of your presentation on discuss what actions needed for each part?

Martin: Okay, so for the introduction, we’re using a visual. So once we prepared that, we’re done,

Rosie: I’m not sure. Q25 I think we need to write down all the ideas we want to include here, not just reliable memory. How we begin. The presentation is so important.

Martin: You’re right.

Rosie: The discovery of the mama’s teeth is probably the most dramatic part. But we don’t have that much information only what we got from the online article. I thought maybe Q26 we could get in touch with the researcher who led the team and ask him to tell us a bit more. Great

Martin: idea. What about the section with the initial questions asked by the researchers? We’ve got a lot on that, but Q27 we need to make it interesting.

Rosie: We could ask the audience to suggest some questions about it and then see how many of them we can answer. I don’t think it would take too long.

Tutor: Yes, that would add a bit of variety.

Martin: Then the section on Q28 further research carried out on the island, analysing the mud in the lake. I wonder if we’ve actually got too much information here. Should we cut some?

Rosie: I don’t think so, but it’s all a bit muddled at present.

Martin: Yes, maybe it would be better if it followed a chronological pattern.

Rosie: I think say the Q29 findings and possible explanations section is just about ready, but we need to practice it. So we’re sure it went overrun. I think

Martin: it should be OK, but yes, let’s make sure

Tutor: in the last section relevance to the present day. Q30 You’ve got some good ideas, but this is where you need to move away from the ideas of others and give your own viewpoint.

Martin: Okay, We’ll think about that now. Shall we show you something?

IELTS LISTENING – Visit to Branley Castle S19T2

IELTS SIMULATOR ONLINE ACADEMIC LISTENING EASY DEMO – Visit to Branley Castle S19AT2 FREE COMPUTER DELIVERED ONLINE IELTS SIMULATION

 IELTS Listening Visit to Branley Castle listening practice test has 10 questions belongs to the Academic / Historical subject.

Guide: We’ll be arriving at Brandley Castle in about five minutes. But before we get there, I’ll give you a little information about the castle And what our visit will include. So, in fact, there’s being a castle on this site for over 1100 years.

The first building was a fort, constructed in 9 14 a. D for defense against Danish invaders by King Alfred, the great’s daughter who ruled England at the time. In the following century, after the Normans conquered England, the land was given to a nobleman called Richard Devere, and he built a castle there that stayed in the Devere family for over 400 years.

However, when Queen Elizabeth the first announced that she was going to visit the castle in 1576 it was beginning to look a bit room down on Q11 it was decided that rather than repair the guest rooms that make a new house for a out of wood next to the main hall. She stayed there for four nights, and apparently, it was very luxurious, but unfortunately, it was destroyed a few years later by fire. In the 17th century, the castle belonged to the wealthy Fenice family who enlarged it and made it more comfortable. However, by 1982 the Fenice family could no longer afford to maintain the castle, even though they received government support and they put it on the market. It was eventually taken over by a Q12 company who owned a number of amusement parks. But when we get there, I think you’ll see that they’ve managed to retain the original atmosphere of the castle. When you go inside, you’ll Q13 find that in the staterooms, there are lifelike moving wax models dressed in costumes of different periods in the past, which even carry on conversations together, as well as that In every room there are booklets giving information about what the room was used for on the history of the objects and furniture. It contains the castle parks quite extensive.

At one time she were kept there, and in the 19th century, the owners had Q14 a little zoo with animals like rabbits and even a baby elephant. Nowadays, the old zoo buildings, they’re used for public displays of paintings and sculptures. The park also has some beautiful trees, though the oldest of all, which dated back 800 years, was sadly blown down in 1987. Now you’re free to wander around on your old until 4 30 but then, at the end of our visit will all meet together at the bottom of the great staircase. Well, then, go on to the long Gallery, where there’s a wonderful collection of photographs showing the family who owned the castle 100 years ago. Having Q15 tea and cakes in the conservatory on will then take you to the same place where afternoon tea will be served to you. Now, if you can take a look at your plans, you’ll see Brandley Castle has four towers, joined together by a high wall with the river on two sides. Don’t miss seeing the great hall that’s near the river in the main tower.

The biggest one which was extended and redesigned in the 18th century. If you want to get a good view of the whole castle, Q16 you can walk around the walls, the starting points quite near the main entrance. Walk straight down the path until you get to the south gate and it’s just there. Don’t go on to the north gate. There’s no way up from there. They will shortly be a show in which Q17 you can see Archer’s displaying their skill with a bow and arrow. The quickest way to get there is to take the first left after the main entrance and follow the past the bridge. Then you’ll see it in front of you at the end. If you like animals. There’s also a Q18 display of hunting birds, falcons and eagles, and so on. If you go from the main entrance in the direction of the South Gate, but term right before you get there, instead of going through it, you’ll see it on your right past the first tower. At three PM, Q19 there’s a short performance of traditional dancing on the outdoor stage that’s right at the other side of the castle, from the entrance and over the bridge. It’s about 10 minutes. Walk or so and Q20 finally the shop. It’s actually inside one of the towers, but the way in is from the outside. Just take the first left after the main entrance, go down the path and take the first right. It’s got some lovely gifts and souvenirs, right? So we’re just arriving.
