The biggest criticism levelled at social networking is that young people are losing their offline friends to online friends (31) are unable to provide the same deep connection and emotional support However, a lot of research shows these criticisms are generally (32) Allen et al (2010) discovered that it is socially adjusted adolescents who are more likely to have a networking profile than those who are not One study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project (2009) found that people are not (33) _

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 following questions
The word robot first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek In the play, a man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner In the 1940s, the American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term robotics, the science of robots Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer, Joseph F Engelberger, and an inventor, George C Devol Together they started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produces the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success They worked reliably and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction films In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans They were simply pieces of computer-controlled machinery, with metal “arms” or “hands” Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many factories around the world Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and production of the robots
Rise of the Robots, Silicon Valley Entrepreneur, Martin Ford, 1988 Question 35: What is Unimation?
A It’s the name of a robot inventor B It’s the name of a robot
C It’s a robot making program D It’s the producer of the first robot Question 36: What can be said about Karel Capek?
A He was the first to create the word “robot” B He is an American writer
C He made a robot D He made a robot in order to kill a person Question 37: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of robots?
A They don’t need food B They are not distracted
C They are tiring D They can jobs involving high heat
(6)A They behave like humans B They controlled machinery
C They look like humans D They are computer-controlled machines Question 39: When did the word “robot” appear?
A in the 1920s B in the 19th century C in the 40s D in the 60s
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 following questions
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Almost all living things ultimately get their energy from the sun In a process called photosynthesis, plants, algae, and some other organisms capture the sun's energy and use it to make simple sugars such as glucose Most other organisms use these organic molecules as a source of energy Organic materials contain a tremendous amount of energy As food, they fuel our bodies and those of most other creatures In such forms as oil, gas, and coal, they heat our homes, run our factories and power our cars
Photosynthesis begins when solar energy is absorbed by chemicals called photosynthetic pigments that are contained within an organism The most common photosynthetic pigment is chlorophyll The bright green color characteristic of plants is caused by it Most algae have additional pigments that may mask the green chlorophyll Because of these pigments, algae may be not only green but brown, red, blue or even black
In a series of enzyme-controlled reactions, the solar energy captured by chlorophyll and other pigments is used to make simple sugars, with carbon dioxide and water as the raw materials Carbon dioxide is one of very few carbon- containing molecules not considered to be organic compounds Photosynthesis then converts carbon from an inorganic to an organic form This is called carbon fixation In this process, the solar energy that was absorbed by chlorophyll is stored as chemical energy in the form of simple sugars like glucose The glucose is then used to make other organic compounds In addition, photosynthesis produces oxygen gas All the oxygen gas on earth, both in the atmosphere we breathe and in the ocean, was produced by photosynthetic organisms Photosynthesis constantly replenishes the earth's oxygen supply
Organisms that are capable of photosynthesis can obtain all the energy they need from sunlight and not need to eat They are called autotrophs Plants are the most familiar autotrophs on land In the ocean, algae and bacteria are the most important autotrophs Many organisms cannot produce their own food and must obtain energy by eating organic matter These are called heterotrophs
Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration, Hardback.1990 Question 40: From the passage, we can see that
A Algae are a kind of simple plants B Most plants have additional pigments C Oxygen helps the process of photosynthesis D Autotrophs obtain energy by eating organic matter
(7)A a perfect solution to the energy problem B a permanent and everlasting source of energy C useless to most bacteria and algae D essential for every organism on earth

Question 46: What can be inferred about algae?

C They are chemically different from other plants D They are ineffective producers of sugars
Question 47: Which of the following is NOT true?
A Organic materials contain an amount of energy. B Plants capture the sun's energy to make sugars C Plants are familiar heterotrophs D Photosynthesis produces oxygen gas
