Part 3: Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow.
Roman shipbuilding and navigation
5
Shipbuilding today is based on science and ships are built using computers and sophisticated tools.
Shipbuilding in ancient Rome, however, was more of an art relying on estimation, inherited techniques
and personal experience. The Romans were not traditionally sailors but mostly land- based people,
who learned to build ships from the people that they conquered, namely the Greeks and the Egyptians.
There are a few surviving written documents that give descriptions and representations of ancient
Roman ships, including the sails and rigging. Excavated vessels also provide some clues about ancient
shipbuilding techniques. Studies of these have taught us that ancient Roman shipbuilders built the
outer hull first, then proceeded with the frame and the rest of the ship. Planks used to build the outer
hull were initially sewn together. Starting from the 6th century BCE, they were fixed using a method
called mortise and tenon, whereby one plank locked into another without the need for stitching. Then
in the first centuries of the current era, Mediterranean shipbuilders shifted to another shipbuilding
method, still in use today, which consisted of building the frame first and then proceeding with the hull
and the other components of the ship. This method was more systematic and dramatically shortened
ship construction times. The ancient Romans built large merchant ships and warships whose size and
technology were unequalled until the 16th century CE.
Warships were built to be lightweight and very speedy. They had to be able to sail near the coast,
which is why they had no ballast or excess load and were built with a long, narrow hull. They did not
sink when damaged and often would lie crippled on the sea’s surface following naval battles. They had
a bronze battering ram, which was used to pierce the timber hulls or break the oars of enemy vessels.
Warships used both wind (sails) and human power (oarsmen) and were therefore very fast. Eventually,
Rome’s navy became the largest and most powerful in the Mediterranean, and the Romans had control
over what they therefore called Mare Nostrum meaning ‘our sea’.
There were many kinds of warship. The ‘trireme’ was the dominant warship from the 7th to 4th
century
BCE. It had rowers in the top, middle and lower levels, and approximately 50 rowers in each bank.
The
rowers at the bottom had the most uncomfortable position as they were under the other rowers and
were
exposed to the water entering through the oar-holes. It is worth noting that contrary to popular
perception, rowers were not slaves but mostly Roman citizens enrolled in the military. The trireme was
superseded by larger ships with even more rowers.
Merchant ships were built to transport lots of cargo over long distances and at a reasonable cost. They
had a wider hull, double planking and a solid interior for added stability. Unlike warships, their V-
shaped hull was deep underwater, meaning that they could not sail too close to the coast. They usually
had two huge side rudders located off the stern and controlled by a small tiller bar connected to a
system of cables. They had from one to three masts with large square sails and a small triangular sail at
the bow. Just like warships, merchant ships used oarsmen, but coordinating the hundreds of rowers in
both types of ship was not an easy task. In order to assist them, music would be played on an
instrument, and oars would then keep time with this.
The cargo on merchant ships included raw materials (e.g. iron bars, copper, marble and granite), and
agricultural products (e.g. grain from Egypt’s Nile valley). During the Empire, Rome was a huge city
by
ancient standards of about one million inhabitants. Goods from all over the world would come to the
city through the port of Pozzuoli situated west of the bay of Naples in Italy and through the gigantic
port of Ostia situated at the mouth of the Tiber River. Large merchant ships would approach the
destination port and, just like today, be intercepted by a number of towboats that would drag them to
the quay.
6
The time of travel along the many sailing routes could vary widely. Navigation in ancient Rome did
not rely on sophisticated instruments such as compasses but on experience, local knowledge and
observation of natural phenomena. In conditions of good visibility, seamen in the Mediterranean often
had the mainland or islands in sight, which greatly facilitated navigation. They sailed by noting their
position relative to a succession of recognizable landmarks. When weather conditions were not good
or where land was no longer visible, Roman mariners estimated directions from the pole star or, with
less accuracy, from the Sun at noon. They also estimated directions relative to the wind and swell.
Overall, shipping in ancient Roman times resembled shipping today with large vessels regularly
crossing the seas and bringing supplies from their Empire.

Part 4: For questions 1-11, read the following passage and choose the answer A, B, C or D which
fits best according to the text. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided.
If food is allowed to stand for some time, it putrefies .When the putrefied material is examined
microscopically ,it is found to be teeming with bacteria. Where do these bacteria come from , since
they are not seen in fresh food? Even until the mid-nineteenth century, many people believed that such
microorganisms originated by spontaneous generation ,a hypothetical process by which living
organisms develop from nonliving matter.
The most powerful opponent of the theory of spontaneous generation was the French chemist and
microbiologist Louis Pasteur(1822-1895).Pasteur showed that structures present in air closely
resemble the microorganisms seen in putrefying materials .He did this by passing air through
7
guncotton filters, the fibers of which stop solid particles. After the guncotton was dissolved in a
mixture of alcohol and ether, the particles that it had trapped fell to the bottom of the liquid and were
examined on a microscope slide .Pasteur found that in ordinary air these exists a variety of solid
structures ranging in size from
0.01 mm to more than 1. 0mm .Many of these bodies resembled the reproductive structures of
common molds, single-celled animals, and various other microbial cells. As many as 20 to 30 of them
were found in fifteen liters of ordinary air ,and they could not be distinguished from the organisms
found in much larger numbers in putrefying materials .Pasteur concluded that the organisms found in
putrefying materials originated from the organized bodies present in the air .He postulated that these
bodies are constantly being deposited on all objects.
Pasteur showed that if a nutrient solution was sealed in a glass flask and heated to boiling to destroy all
the living organisms contaminating it, it never putrefied .The proponents of spontaneous generation
declared that fresh air was necessary for spontaneous generation and that the air inside the sealed flask
was affected in some way by heating so that it would no longer support spontaneous generation.
Pasteur constructed a swan-necked flask in which putrefying materials could he heated to boiling, but
air could reenter. The bends in the neck prevented microorganisms from getting in the flask. Material
sterilized in such a flask did not putrefy.
