Прочитайте текст и выберите вариант ответа, соответствующий содержанию прочитанного текста. Укажите выбранный вариант.

1. It is staggering to think that Heathrow Airport, which is now almost a self-contained city with a population of 60,000 workers, started life as small grass airfield. It was initially privately owned by the Fairy Company and used mostly for test flying. London's commercial flights took off from nearby Heston. World War II changed the course of Heathrow's history. In 1944 it was decided that Heathrow should be developed as a major transport base for the Royal Air Force. It was never to be. Before the work was completed, the war ended, and thus there came the prospect of a huge expansion in civil aviation.

2. London needed a large airport with modern equipment and the partly-built site at Heathrow was ideal. One runway was ready for use, and when the Ministry of Civil Aviation took it over in 1946 a tented terminal was quickly put in place and a new chapter began. As air traffic boomed, the airport found itself with an ever-increasing demand for passenger facilities. By the mid-1950s, restaurants, cafes and shops had attached themselves to the airport.

3. Next there came the new Oceanic terminal handling long-haul carriers, a function it still performs as Terminal 3. It was followed by Terminal 1 in 1968. Increased congestion in the central area led to the construction of Terminal 4 in 1986 on the south side of the airport, a modern facility but an inconvenient 10-20 minute transfer from the heart of Heathrow.

4. The pressures on London's principal airport keep mounting. The extension of the city rail link to the airport central area is now open. Nowadays Heathrow is fighting hard to build yet another passenger terminal in the face of local objections. In fact, by the early 1960s, aircraft noise in the vicinity of most large urban airports had become a major problem.

5. The cause of the problem was a rapidly increasing number of aircraft movements and the introduction of the first generation of turbojet aircraft with low climb performance, such as the early models of the Boeing 707. That resulted in public objections to the planned expansion of most urban airports. London was no exception. Such objections held up the expansion of Heathrow Airport for many years. Ultimately, noise curfew was introduced at Heathrow Airport. Yet there are many more problems to be solved in the future.

A41. The article does not say anything about

1) the construction of terminals at Heathrow.

2) the facilities introduced at Heathrow.

3) the work of traffic controllers at Heathrow.

A42. The turning point in the airport's history was

1) the decision made during World War II.

2) the establishment of the Fairy Company.

3) the construction of the new Ocean Terminal.

A43. The airport grew rapidly because

1) the central area was not equipped adequately.

2) air-traffic increased on a large scale.

3) at the beginning it was partly-built.

A44. One can make a conclusion that a passenger

1) can reach London from Heathrow rather quickly.

2) can get only limited access to transportation.

3) can hardly get to London with great difficulty.

A45. It is clear that the local population

1) is not concerned with the airport's activities.

2) opposes strongly the airport's further expansion.

3) demands that the airport should be closed.
