Wybierz słowa, które poprawnie uzupełniają zdania. 

A:  

I’ve got a new laptop. What else do I need?

B:  

Well, it’s got almost everything you need. You might 
need a 

printer / keyboard / hard drive if you want to 

print out your documents. If you want to listen to music, 
it’s a good idea to get some 

chargers / speakers / 

monitors. The sound is much better. Another thing 
I have for my laptop is a 

folder / mouse / cursor. I find 

it easier than the one on the laptop. Of course, you 
need an Internet 

connection / programme / backup 

so that you can surf the Internet and waste your time on 
your social 

memory / information / networking site! 

That’s about it apart from some anti-virus 

software / 

documents / folders but, after what happened to your 
computer, you know all about the danger of viruses!

CZYTANIE

Przeczytaj tekst, z którego usunięto pięć zdań. Wpisz 
w luki (1–5) litery, którymi oznaczono brakujące zdania 
(A–G), tak aby otrzymać logiczny i spójny tekst. Uwaga: 
dwa zdania zostały podane dodatkowo i nie pasują do 
żadnej luki. 

HUMPHREY DAVY AND HIS LAMP

Humphrey Davy may not be the most famous scientist 
and inventor in history but his work was very important. 
As a chemist, he discovered several elements including 
potassium, sodium and calcium.

However, important as these discoveries were, he is 
remembered more for his Davy Lamp. Before 1815, 
miners took candles underground with them when they 
were working. 

        

 There were no batteries or light bulbs 

at that time but Davy found a way to improve safety. It 
was a simple idea. 

       

 This was similar to what people 

now put on windows in the summer to allow air in but 
keep flies out. With Davy’s lamp, air could get in to keep 
the flame lit but the flame couldn’t escape and cause an 
explosion.

That was impressive enough but the lamp did more. If there 
were dangerous gases in the air, the flame burned higher.  

      

 In addition, miners could test the air for  poisonous 

gases. Air normally contains about 22% oxygen. When 
oxygen levels dropped below 17%, the lamps went out. 
Miners could still breathe at that level of oxygen and 
might not realise that anything was wrong. The lamp gave 
them an early warning of danger and allowed them to 
escape before they were overcome by carbon dioxide.

Unfortunately, greed prevented the lamps from saving 
as many lives as they could. 

     

  It was now possible 

to spend less on fans as there were fewer explosions. 
This meant that the air the miners were breathing was 
actually less healthy than it had been before. The lamps 
were also easily damaged which meant that, with the poor 
ventilation, explosions were almost as frequent as they 
had been. Another problem was that the lamps weren’t as 
bright as bare candles. 

       

 

Despite its faults, the Davy Lamp, along with other similar 
lamps which appeared at the same time, did help to 
reduce mining accidents although they stayed at very 
high levels until electric lamps started to appear in the 
late nineteenth century.

This made working more difficult.

B  

Tests showed that the lamps were safe.

These often caused explosions because of dangerous 
gases in the mines.

It also had a blue colour.

E  

They allowed mine owners to cut costs.

F  

He put the candle into a lamp and fitted a net around it.

G  

Some people argued against their introduction because 
of this.
