Questions 6-10 refer to the following text

Electricity is a flow of negative charges called electrons (particles that form a part of
all atoms.) These electric charges are measured in units called coulombs. Electricity is a very
versatile form of energy that can be converted into many other forms of energy, including
light and heat, direct current (DC), which flows in one direction only, and alternating current
(AC), which changes direction 60 times per second.
An electric circuit is an unbroken conducting path from, and back to, a power supply.
It has three main parts: the power supply, the conductor, and the load. The power is
provided by a generator or battery, the conductor carries the current, and the load is an
electric device such as a lamp.
Unlike current electricity, static electricity does not flow. It is created when an
electrically neutral substance loses or gains electrons (negatively charged particles), making
it, respectively, positively or negatively charged. You can create static electricity by rubbing a
balloon on your clothing. Electrons will move from the clothing to the balloon, making the
balloon negatively charged and the clothing positively charged. The resulting static electricity
on each will attract small, light objects such as pieces of paper.

6. The electricity element that only currents in one direction is ….

A. direct current C. electric circuit
B. alternating current D. electron
7. What is the media of the current?
A. generator C. clothing
B. conductor D. balloon
8. What makes current and static electricity different?
A. the fact that one of them does not flow
B. the way the electricity flows
C. the number of electrons
D. the direction of the flow
9. The electric device is also known as ….
A. generator C. current
 B. battery D. load
10. The static electricity will not attract ….
A. heavy things
B. a weightless object
C. light elements
D. a small piece of paper
Questions 1-15 refer to the following text
Solar power is energy from the Sun. The energy that comes from the rays of the Sun that reach
the Earth is called solar radiation. Without humans, animals, or other living organisms needing to
do anything, the energy from the Sun has given power to all living things through
photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place when plants use the Sun's energy to make its own
food, and then of course, all other living organisms eat the plants or animals receiving that energy
indirectly from the Sun.
However, collecting solar power to create electricity and heat is not as easy as plants using the
Sun's energy to make its own food. John Herschel, used a solar thermal (heat) collector box to cook
food during an expedition to Africa. The collector box is a device used to collect the heat from the Sun
to cook food. Today, the Sun's energy is converted to thermal energy, which can be used to heat
water for homes, swimming pools, greenhouses, and other buildings. It can also be used to heat the
fluids to high temperatures to power turbines that make electricity.
Solar energy is changed into electricity in two ways. Solar cells change sunlight into electricity
which are grouped into panels used in a variety of different ways. Sometimes these panels are called
solar panels which collect. This type of collection is also used to power small cells inside batteries or
calculators, but mainly used for power single homes or large power plants.
The second way solar power is used to generate electricity is by focusing the Sun's heat to a fluid
that produces steam that is then used to turn a generator.
Solar power systems are very beneficial. First, they do not cause pollution or carbon dioxide. And they
have very little impact on the environment. Overall as well, solar energy costs less once the
equipment is in place. The energy and heat from the Sun is basically free but it costs money to build
the right equipment to collect the power of the Sun.

11. Which one is the energy that comes from the rays of the Sun that reach the Earth…
A. solar power C. solar cell
B. solar radiation D. solar electricity
12. Which of the following best describes photosynthesis?
A. The process of the sun’s energy used for electricity.
B. The process plants use to make food from the Sun's energy.
C. The process used by plants to take in oxygen.
D. The process of the Earth releasing energy into the air.
13. Which of the following did John Herschel use to collect heat from the Sun to be used for
cooking?
A. collector box C. solar cell
B. solar panel D. solar box
14. Which of the following is used to heat water for homes, swimming pools, greenhouses,
and other buildings?
A. thermal power C. thermal energy
B. radiation energy D. collector box

15. All of the followings are ways in which solar power is very beneficial except…
A. Does not cause pollution
B. Does not release carbon dioxide
C. Equipment is not expensive
D. Little impact on the environment

Ramadan is the ninth month on the Islamic calendar, which marks important holidays
and events for Muslims (people who practice Islam). During Ramadan people fast, or

Questions 36-40 refer to the following text

We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At percent, we are forced to
look to other bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the Earth
was like. Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satellites of Jupiter and
Saturn have provided ample evidence that all these large celestial bodies had formed.
This same bombardment must have affected Earth as well. The lunar record indicates
that the rate of impacts decreased to its present low level about 4 billion years ago. On
Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal motions have obliterated the craters that must
have formed during this epoch.
Scientists estimate the Earth’s age by measuring the ratios of various
radioactive elements in rocks. The oldest Earth’s rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3
billion years old. But no one knows whether these are oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on
rocks from the moon and on meteorites show that these are about 4.6 billion years old.
Scientists believe that this is the true age of the solar system and probably the true age
of the Earth.
36. The word “obliterated” means…
A. created C. changed
B. destroyed D. erosion
37. According to this passage, how do scientists estimate the age of the Earth?
A. By measuring the ratios of radioactive elements in rocks.
B. By examining fossils.
C. By studying sunspot.
D. By examining volcanic activity.
38. Scientists estimate the age of the Earth as …
A. 4 billion years old.
B. 3 1/3 billion years old.
C. 4.6 billion years old.
D. 6 billion years old.
39. Which of the following processes led to the obliteration of the craters formed by the
bombardment of the Earth by the celestial bodies?
A. volcanic activity
B. solar radiation
C. gravity activity
D. crustal motions
40. According to the passage, why are scientists forced to look at other bodies in the solar
system to determine the early history of the Earth?
A. Human alteration of the Earth.

Questions 41-45 refer to the following text

Many people now have a card which enables them to withdraw money from a cash
dispenser. You feed your card into the machine and key in your PIN (Personal
Identification Number) and the amount of money you want. If you have enough in your
account, the money requested will be issued to you up to a dairy limit. Your account is
automatically debited for the amount you have drawn out.

Provided you have a sound credit, you can get a credit card from a bank and other
financial institution. To obtain goods or services, you present your card and sign a special
voucher when it receives the voucher, the credit card company pays the trader (less a
 commission), and then sends you a monthly statement. Depending on the type of card
you have, you will either have to pay in full or be able to pay part of what is owed and
pay interest on the balance left outstanding.

If you need to make fixed payments at regular intervals, e.g. for insurance premiums,
you can arrange a standing order (sometimes known as a banker’s order) so that the
bank will do this for you.
