The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a great work of art. (Пизанская башня — великое произведение искусства.)
- NS (Not Stated). (Упоминается, что это необыкновенное сооружение, но не то, что это великое произведение искусства.)
-
The reason for what is happening to the tower is its faulty base. (Причина того, что происходит с башней, — ее дефектное основание.)
- T (True). (It happened due to an unfortunate mistake — the poorly laid foundation.)
-
The construction of the tower was not completed in one go. (Строительство башни не было завершено за один раз.)
- T (True). (The construction had to be stopped and was resumed only a hundred years later. This time two stories were built out of line with the others.)
-
Builders tried different methods to stop the tower from leaning. (Строители пробовали разные методы, чтобы остановить наклон башни.)
- T (True). (Pisano began to work on a bell tower for the cathedral in Pisa. At that time he did not expect his tower to become one of the greatest tourist attractions and one of the most well-known structures in the world.)
-
Galileo used the Leaning Tower to make new discoveries in astronomy. (Галилей использовал Пизанскую башню для новых открытий в астрономии.)
- F (False). (Галилей изучал закон падения тел (fall of falling objects), а не делал новые открытия в астрономии.)
-
The height of the tower is not the same on different sides. (Высота башни не одинакова с разных сторон.)
- NS (Not Stated). (Текст не говорит о высоте башни, а о ее наклоне (leaning).)
-
The mass of falling objects influences their descending speed. (Масса падающих предметов влияет на скорость их падения.)
- F (False). (Galileo used the Leaning Tower to demonstrate that their descending speed was independent of their mass.)
-
The problem of the Leaning Tower still exists. (Проблема Пизанской башни все еще существует.)
- T (True). (The structure is somewhat stabilized, the tower is still in danger of falling down completely. At the moment it leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees.)
