Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability

On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee

Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances

To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal

Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation Now scientists are examining new ways of creating

electricity without harmful effects to the environment They may harness the tides as they flow in and out

of bays Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels

Question 36: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to _

A suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy

B discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity

C emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity

D imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy

Question 37: Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms?

Question 38: What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible?

A It can be adapted to various uses B It is cheap and easy to use

C It is used to drive motor engines D It can be made with ease

Question 39: The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are _

A atomic power and water B water and coal

C sunlight and wind power D wind and gas

Question 40: The word “they” in the last paragraph refers to _

A new ways B harmful effects C scientists D the tides

Question 41: Electric magnets are used in steel works to _

A boil a jug of water B test the steel for strength

C lift heavy weights up to ten tons D heat the molten steel

Question 42: The best title for this passage could be _

A “Why Electricity Is So Remarkable” B “Types of Power Plants”

C “Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life” D “How to Produce Electricity”

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50

Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world

except the northernmost and southernmost regions One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they use the honey as a food While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage space for the honey The different types of bees each perform a unique function The worker bee carries nectar to the hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells The queen lays eggs in completed cells As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs

All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen The male

honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting They are developed from unfertilized

eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen The queen must be fertilized in order to lay worker eggs During the season when less honey is available and the drones is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death
