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

The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal Other solid materials such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond

together In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost

electrons This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions The lost electrons are free to move in what is known as a sea of electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together

An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the „lead’ of a pencil is made from) Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow

Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily Water itself is a poor conductor of electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral) However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left

on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive

By Helena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie Science for Primary School Teachers OUP

Question 36: According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to

A the way its atoms bond together B the absence of free electrons

C its atoms with a positive charge D the loss of one electron in the core of its

atoms

Question 37: The word “outermost” in paragraph 1 mostly means

A the heaviest B furthest from the inside

C nearest to the inside D the lightest

Question 38: Salt in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because

A its charged ions can flow easily B it cannot create any charged ions

C it has free electrons D its charged ions are not free to move

Question 39: Water is a poor conductor because it contains

A only a positive electric charge B only a small amount of fully charged particles

C only a negative electric charge D no positive or negative electric charge

Question 40: We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands

because

A the water itself is a good conductor of 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

Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car

In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars

In the US large cities have good public transportation systems The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc Many college and even high-school students have their own cars

Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to

drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a

traffic jam Long-distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air There are regular flights between regional airports, as well

as to and from London A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail

In the US much long-distance travel is by air America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road

The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by

a third within a few years, making both these problems worse The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less

2000)

Question 46: The phrase “at their own convenience” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A at an early time and nearby place B at the fastest time and nearest place

A Trains are usually cheaper than long-distance coach services

B There are no regular flights between regional airports

C Heavier items and raw materials are often transported by train
