Question The CERN Laboratory Section I The greatest scientific breakthroughs have often been guarded jealously by the nations that make them, generally because they had some military or economic benefit for them. China kept the method of manufacturing silk a secret for hundreds of years while exporting the material to the West; when the USA detonated the first atomic bomb, the Soviets only found out through their extensive spy network. Section II Perhaps there is something romantic about the origins of the universe then because, at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, 2,400 staff and 10,000 scientists from all over the world work happily side by side making discoveries that shine light into the darkest corners of our knowledge. The CERN laboratory has been in operation since 1953, and it is the site of not one but six particle accelerators, the latest of which is called the Large Hadron Collider and is among the largest and certainly the most powerful particle accelerator in the world. Section III It was built with one purpose in mind – to find evidence of the Higgs boson particle. The existence of this particle has been suggested as the solution to one of the most baffling problems in physics. Particles, moments after the Big Bang, had no mass and moved at the speed of light. How did they suddenly acquire the mass that allowed the universe to form? After some technical glitches – if you can call a devastating fire that delayed experiments for a year a glitch – the accelerator went into operation in November 2009. The experiments produce mind-boggling amounts of data, which are sent to universities all over the world for analysis and discussion. In July 2012, preliminary results suggested that the Higgs boson particle does, in fact, exist. Section IV While these findings may only be of interest – or completely comprehensible – to theoretical physicists, the fact that so many countries can successfully carry through such collaboration must be a cause for celebration. Certainly, the amount of money needed to create such a place means most, if not all, members would be unable to afford it alone. There is also the argument that these discoveries are unlikely to have the impact that the splitting of the atom had on the arms race. Still, the success of the CERN lab experiments is something to be applauded. Section V Another one of CERN’s success stories, and one with a little bit more of a real-world impact, was that this was the place where the World Wide Web originated. Designed as a system that would allow scientists to share information easily, it was the first to use hypertext, which allowed scientists to access one another’s information regardless of the machine and software they were using. The World Wide Web was launched in 1992 and is now such an indispensable part of the Internet that the two terms are often used interchangeably. Section VI That the CERN project managed to launch the World Wide Web without even a thought of trying to make it into a commodity speaks volumes. In a world where cures for deadly diseases are jealously guarded in order that only those able to pay can live, the CERN laboratory stands proud as an example of what humankind is capable of in cooperation. Located in a country famous for its neutrality, it demonstrates the positive effect that the elimination of competition and national prejudice can have on our finest minds. Choose the best answer. What does the example of silk in Section I show? BLANK 1 of 6 a. the lengths a country will go to hide a military secret b. the advantage that a cooperative approach to knowledge has c. the ability of the Chinese to keep a secret d. the secrecy that can surround a profitable technology Why does the writer use the word “romantic” in Section II? BLANK 2 of 6 a. The scientists at CERN do not think of profit or nationalism. b. The people who work at CERN do so for love and not money. c. It is implied that the CERN project is unrealistic. d. Theoretical physicists are famously determined in their pursuit of love. Which word in Section III is used in an understated way? BLANK 3 of 6 a. baffling b. glitches c. mind-boggling d. suggested Which of the following is not a reason given for the successful cooperation at CERN? BLANK 4 of 6 a. What they are doing does not have strategic military value. b. The experiments are far too expensive for individual nations. c. The area of research is a relatively obscure one. d. The scientists are only now finding some important results. In Section V, we find out that the World Wide Web BLANK 5 of 6 a. is synonymous with the Internet. b. began as a way to connect project scientists. c. began much earlier than people think. d. has only had a little influence on the world. We can infer from Section VI that BLANK 6 of 6 a. Switzerland is the only logical location for the CERN laboratory. b. medical research is a profitable concern. c. the World Wide Web could have been sold for a huge profit. d. the financing for the CERN laboratory may soon run out.
