passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question The Advantages of Using Wi-Fi on Your Smartphone Wi-Fi is a method for devices such as smartphones to connect wirelessly to the Internet using radio waves Connecting to the Internet using Wi-Fi requires a hotspot, but it is always faster than the 3G cellular networks which smartphones can also use to connect, and occasionally faster than 4G Using Wi-Fi when it is available can also prove to be cheaper and make your phone run more efficiently in the long run than relying on cellular networks When you use a Wi-Fi network to access the Internet from your phone, the data usage does not count against your bundled data Mobile providers often allocate a certain amount of data for free each month and charge you a fee for any data usage beyond this By connecting via Wi-Fi wherever it is available, you can save your bundled data for situations when you might not be close to any Wi-Fi hotspots In many situations, your speed using a strong, dedicated Wi-Fi connection is faster than that of using your mobile network It is very noticeable when transferring larger files If you need to download large files or stream media to your smartphone in a hurry, it is much better to so via Wi-Fi Battery life is extremely important for smartphones because you will not be able to connect to the Internet or use certain functions such as the camera flash if your battery is too low Using Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet drains less battery life than using a mobile network, especially in situations where the cellular coverage fluctuates Since Wi-Fi is generally faster than using mobile networks, you will also not spend as much time transferring the data, which further decreases battery usage The following are the advantages of using Wi-Fi on your smartphone EXCEPT that A it does not need a hotspot to connect all your mobile devices B it is faster than the 3G cellular networks C it is cheaper than using the 3G networks D it makes your phone run more efficiently in the long run By using Wi-Fi, you A can use all your bundled data for free B can use a certain amount of data for free each month C may stay under the data capacity allocated by mobile providers D save your bundled data for situations when you use a Wi-Fi network A Wi-Fi connection offers A better large files B faster smartphones C no need for hurry D better speeds Using Wi-Fi offers longer battery life because A you will be able to connect to other devices when your battery is now B it required less time with the same task than using mobile networks C the Internet harms the battery life so much D it required so little energy while the cellular coverage fluctuates The word “drains” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to A improves B saves C increases D reduces Exercise Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions THE VANISHING INVENTION In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how to use water as a substitute for petrol The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of water His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature This impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology There is no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which have also vanished An inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison If this technology were to become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet from the impending environmental catastrophes being caused by pollution The word “substitute” in the passage is closest in meaning to A addition B alternative C imitation D solution Which of the following is NOT true about Cervilla’s invention? A It happens at atmospheric temperature B It imitates something in nature C It requires no electricity D It uses enzymes to break down water The word “it” in the passage refers to A enzyme B molybdenum C petrol D water The word “vanished” in the passage is opposite in meaning to A appeared B produced C introduced D invented It is stated in the passage that water-fuelled cars may contribute to A save energy B save environment C save money D save time Exercise Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to each question There are thousands of other inventions that have contributed to the lives of humans across millennia Many of these inventions have even benefited animals and other living species The reason behind every invention is the need for it The main quality of an inventor is his or her ability to see what others are able to see While most of us see a blue sky, some are able to see the patterns not in the sky which leads them to investigate more Another important quality of an inventor is his or her desire to find a solution to a problem They keep abreast with the difficulties faced by human beings and focus on resolving them Many of the inventors we have mentioned above were not recognized by their teachers nor their peers They often had eccentric personalities and maintained unusual routines For example, Albert Einstein was not comfortable with the teaching methods in his school and preferred to teach himself complex subjects such as mathematics and algebra He dressed eccentrically and kept an unusual hairstyle and was often ridiculed for his views However, his uniqueness is what led him to change the way we approach the philosophy of science and brought about the ground-breaking theory of relativity Inventions are any new discoveries that change the way we view our world They can occur in art, sciences, tools, machines, society, and even thoughts Any process, composition, device, or method that expands the limits of human knowledge, creativity, experience, or capability is called an invention and can be brought about by any human who dares to think out of the box What is the best title of the passage? A Inventions Benefit Both Humans and Other Living Species B Important Qualities of an Inventor C Necessity is the Mother of Inventions D Inventions Change the Way We View Our World The word "millennia" in the first paragraph means A 1,000 years B more than 1,000 years C an indefinite number of years D a long time ago Why does the author mention Albert Einstein in the third paragraph? A To explain why inventors had eccentric personalities and maintained unusual routines B Because Albert Einstein was not comfortable with the teaching methods in his school and referred to teach himself complex subjects such as mathematics and algebra C Because he was a famous scientist D Because he dressed eccentrically and kept an unusual hairstyle and was often ridiculed for his views What does the word "them" in the second paragraph refer to? A inventors B qualities of an inventor C human beings D difficulties According to the passage, which of the following fields does not occur in inventions? A art and sciences B thoughts C tools and machines D none of the above Which of the following is not a quality of an inventor?
