Soru 5 : The ability of the cat to survive falls from high places that would kill humans or other animals is not due to multiple lives, but to several advantages they possess. Their small size and low body weight soften the impact as they make contact with the ground. The highly developed inner ears of cats equip them with a keen sense of balance, which is critical to their landing on their feet. Since cats land on all four paws, the impact from landing on the ground is absorbed by all four. Additionally, cats bend their legs when they land, which cushions the impact by spreading the impact. A cat stands a greater chance of survival if it falls from a higher place than from a lower place. Laws of physics explain why the survival rates vary. All falling bodies, regardless of their masses, accelerate by 22 miles per hour per second of their falls. The falling object, after traveling a certain distance through the air reaches a final speed, that is, “terminal velocity”, because the object’s friction with the air slows the fall. The smaller the object’s mass, and the greater its area, the more it will slow.

Soru 48 : Central heating, available in the US since the early 19th century, became popular only after the Civil War. Typically, coal-burning furnaces fuelled the early systems. The furnaces warped and cracked, causing gases to escape, and had to be stoked frequently. It took years and countless small improvements, but by the mid-1920s the systems had become reliable and, with the emergence of oil-fired furnaces, more convenient. Natural gas, which became widely available with the building of a pipeline infrastructure after World War II, had developed into the leading fuel by 1960. Its acceptance resulted in part from its versatility - unlike oil, it can power appliances such as clothes washers and dryers, ovens, ranges and outdoor grills. Because it comes primarily from US and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable than oil is, to war and embargo. Oil remains the predominant fuel in a few areas, such as New England, where natural gas pipelines have not yet thoroughly penetrated. Oil users in many regions have the advantage of being able to buy a season's supply in advance at favourable rates and, in contrast to most gas users, can easily change their supplier.
The passage makes the point that oil continues to be the chief fuel in contain areas ______.
A) as it is believed to be less dangerous than natural gas
B) although it has no advantages over natural gas
C) and this annoys a lot of people
D) but it is rapidly falling into disfavour
E) where natural gas is unavailable
