Question 1-5
The television is one of the most prominent inventions of the 20 th century. In the 1880s a
German inventor created simplistic moving images using a filtered light viewed through a
spinning disk, laying the foundations for the modern television. During the 1920s, a number
of scientists began experimenting with sending still images using radio waves. However, it
was in 1928 that General Electric first combined the idea of a device that could show moving
images with the technology to wirelessly broadcast them.
During the 30s and 40s, the technology was gradually improved upon. In America, the first
regular broadcasts began in 1939 though it was not until after the Second World War that the
television as a standard home appliance began to really take off. After 1945, television sales
in America skyrocketed. The first colour broadcast was made in 1954.
Throughout the rest of the world, television came years later, and it wasn’t until the late
1960s that television was commonplace in houses throughout the West. By the 1970s,
television had become the dominant media force it is today, with 24-hour programming, mass
advertising, and syndicated shows.
In the 1980s, satellite television shrunk the world, making live feeds from other countries and
time zones possible. The new millennium brought the advent of digital television, which is the
future of television.

Question 11-15
Earthquakes in Japan
The Japanese archipelago is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates
meet. This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot
springs across Japan. If earthquakes occur below or close to the ocean, they may trigger tidal
waves (tsunami).
Many parts of the country have experienced devastating earthquakes and tidal waves in the
past. The Great Kanto Earthquake, the worst in Japanese history, hit the Kanto plain around
Tokyo in 1923 and resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people.
In January 1995, a strong earthquake hit the city of Kobe and its surroundings. Known as the
Southern Hyogo Earthquake or Great Hanshin Earthquake, it killed 6,000 and injured 415,000
people. 100,000 homes were completely destroyed and 185,000 were severely damaged.
On March 11, 2011, the strongest ever recorded earthquake in Japan triggered a massive
tsunami along the Pacific Coast of northeastern Japan. Known as the Great East Japan
Earthquake, the earthquake and particularly the ensuing tsunami killed nearly 20,000 people
and caused a nuclear accident at a power plant in Fukushima Prefecture.

Statements
True/ False
11. Earthquakes happen in Japan because this is the place where several
continental and oceanic plates meet.
12. If there are earthquakes below or close to the mountains, they may
lead to tidal waves.
13. The Great Kanto Earthquake is the worst in Asian history.
14. 100,000 homes were severely damaged in the Great Hanshin

15. The Great East Japan Earthquake caused a nuclear accident.


Question 16-20
Space exploration is the investigation of the cosmos beyond the upper regions of the Earth’s
atmosphere using telescopes, satellites, space probes, spacecraft, and associated launch
vehicles. The desire to explore space is nearly primal for Homo sapiens. Early humans quickly
spread out of Africa to every region on the planet, then came to speculate that the stars and
planets were yet other material places worthy of exploration. The idea to travel to these other
worlds was inevitable.
However, for thousands of years, humans commonly drew fundamental distinctions between
the Earth and non-Earth environments. In the formulation of Aristotle taught that the laws of
nature that applied on Earth did not necessarily apply beyond the Earth, thus severely
restricting the very possibilities for human space exploration.
During the great age of European exploration of the Earth, astronomers such as Galileo
Galilei (1564-1642) and his contemporary, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), began the modern
observational exploration of the heavens, in fact of space, using new techniques and
instruments of science. A result of this exploration of space was the scientific revolution itself.
Science was now seen as applicable to understanding the entire world, to both heaven and
Earth. Civilization was transformed.
Statements

True/ False
16. We can use microscopes, satellites, space probes, spacecraft, and
associated launch vehicles to explore space.
17. Early humans started the idea to travel to other worlds.

Question 21-25
With the days of having hundreds of Facebook “friends” upon US, real friendships built on
respect, a common bond, and shared memories seem to be few and far between in the
modern world. We can instantly connect with anyone online, but does that make them a tried
and true friend?
On the other hand, the friends you thought you could count on in real life can turn out to be


just as distant, flaky, and unreliable as people you’ve connected within the cyber world. So,
how can you make sure that these friendships you have invested so much in emotionally are
actually authentic?

1. They accept everything about you, including your flaws.
They don’t want to change you. In fact, true friendships mean they embrace everything
about you, from your quirks and flaws to your best personality traits. That doesn’t mean they
have to particularly like or agree with everything you say and do, but they don’t bash you or
try to alter your personality, either. You feel like you can breathe a big sigh of relief around
them. That’s because in a sea of billions of people, you’ve found one person who sees the
positive things about you even when you don’t see them yourself.

2. They stick with you through both the good and bad times.

This one probably best distinguishes a fake friend from a real one; in hard times, a true friend
would never dream of leaving you in the shadows alone. Instead, they offer to help you
however they can, and bring you back into the light, again. Fake friends often bail on you
because they only wanted to stick around when things went well for you, and felt like helping
you through your problems was a burden for them.
Statements
True/ False
21. Real friendships are built on respect, a common bond, and shared
memories among friends.
22. You can entirely rely on the friends you meet in the cyber world.
23. True friends need to agree with everything you say and do.
24. True friends can see good things about you even when you don’t see
them yourself.
25. Going through tough times can make you realize who your real friend is.
Question 26-30
After traveling 1,000 miles from the north, the Zambezi River reaches the edge of one world
and plummets 350 feet into another. Victoria Falls, between the borders of Zambia and
Zimbabwe, is over a mile wide. No other waterfall in the world can match her scale.
The Zambezi is known as the “River of Life” across southern Africa, but surviving by the river
near Victoria Falls is not always easy. During the rainy season the Zambezi has a fierceness
and a power that is deadly to both animals and humans. At the peak of the rainy season,
almost 300,000 gallons of water cascade over the falls every second.


Despite the danger, many birds, reptiles, fish, and mammals call this area home. And a
fisherman, known as Mr. White, has lived in a nearby town for 74 years, spending almost
every day by the falls.
During the dry season, life gravitates to the river by Victoria Falls. As the sun beats down and
the water level lowers, grass-covered islands above the falls are exposed. Families of
elephants from the surrounding savannah flock to the Zambezi to make the river crossing.

Predator and prey rely on the river for water, and pairs of bee-eaters and pied kingfishers dig
nests in the exposed muddy banks. Fish eagles raise their young and teach them to hunt, and
hippos crowd the waters.
Life flourishes, for a while. And then, months later, clouds gather in the sky and rising waters
force many animals to leave. It is the rainy season, and Victoria Falls becomes magnificent
again - her voice rising from a whisper to thunder.
Statements
True/ False
26. Victoria Falls is the widest fall in the world.
27. The Zambezi has a power that may cause deaths to animals.
28. Many birds, reptiles, fish, and mammals stay away from the falls due to
the danger.
29. As the sun beats down and the water level rises, grass-covered islands
above the falls are exposed.
30. During the dry season, rising waters force many animals to leave.
Question 31-35
Making Sushi at home
Danielle decided to make sushi with her brother Jonathan. They both loved sushi and
cooking. They thought this would be the perfect way to bond with each other and have fun.
Sushi was something they never made. They needed to buy all the supplies to make the
perfect sushi! They read recipes and watched videos on how to make sushi. Even if it was not
perfect, Danielle was sure it would taste good.
Jonathan was in charge of buying the supplies. He stopped by his local Japanese
supermarket. This was one of his favorite markets because of its cheap prices and quality
products. He started by looking for seaweed and rice. He quickly found those in the same
aisle. He then began to pick the seafood they would use. He decided on salmon, tuna, and
eel. Danielle’s favorite was salmon. He also got some cucumbers, carrots, and avocados to


add extra flavor.

Jonathan brought back his supplies home. They were ready to make the sushi. They set
everything up in the kitchen. They were ready to roll. They divided the tasks. One person was
in charge of preparing the sushi. The other person was in charge of rolling the sushi and
cutting nicely into pieces. They needed to make enough for themselves and their parents.
They even made extras. After all their hard work, they ate their delicious sushi and watched a
movie together. The sushi was delicious and tasted really fresh. Their parents approved of
their homemade sushi.
Statements
True/ False
31. Danielle’s hooked on cooking but her brother isn’t.
32. Danielle’s mother taught her to make sushi.
33. Danielle loves going to the local Japanese market to buy things because
the products are very cheap but high-quality here.
34. Danielle is a big fan of salmon.
35. Jonathan prepared, rolled, and cut the sushi nicely into pieces.
Question 36-40
The ever-evolving human desire drives the development of men and women alike. Over the
past 60 years, we have witnessed a conspicuous change in women’s desire. Women wish to
be less and less involved in household management and child care and are increasingly
expanding their involvement in other areas of society.
A woman’s character is much more responsible, stable, and consistent. She is capable of
absorbing many changes and coping with long-term challenges - a quality that comes from
her natural ability to carry an embryo and develop life within her. A man, on the other hand,
is better at short-term moves.
A woman is capable of holding onto a large number of tasks as well as carry them out
successfully. A man, on the other hand, is more successful in linear processes aimed at a
narrow goal. This is why most scientific breakthroughs, for example, manifest through the
male brain.
Men and women are also different in their attitude to failure in life. Figuratively speaking, a
man can be as strong as iron - and yet one blow can break him. Woman is easier to bend but like a flexible tree branch, she is much harder to break. The mutual completion of each

other’s qualities is the key to building a healthy society in the new era.


The integration of women in the leadership of society and other systems of human life is
becoming necessary. The maternal qualities are expanding from the personal home to the
global home. The female nature and drive to create a supportive and embracing environment
will be expressed in society in creating healthy and proper conditions for bonding between
people.
Statements
True/ False
36. Women desire to expand their involvement in other areas of society.
37. Women are good at linear processes aimed at a narrow goal while men
can hold onto a large number of tasks.
38. Men and women have different attitudes toward failure in life.
39. Women are more flexible than men.
40. The integration of women in the leadership of society and other
systems of human life is becoming essential.
Question 41-45
To stay healthy, adults should try to be active every day and aim to achieve at least 150
minutes of physical activity over a week through a variety of activities.
For most people, the easiest way to get moving is to make activity part of everyday life, like
walking or cycling instead of using the car to get around. However, the more you do, the
better, and taking part in activities such as sports and exercise will make you even healthier.
For any type of activity to benefit your health, you need to be moving quickly enough to raise
your heart rate, breathe faster, and feel warmer. This level of effort is called moderate
intensity activity. If you’re working at a moderate intensity you should still be able to talk but
you won’t be able to sing the words to a song.
An activity where you have to work even harder is called vigorous intensity activity. There is
substantial evidence that vigorous activity can bring health benefits over and above that of
moderate activity. You can tell when it’s vigorous activity because you’re breathing hard and

fast, and your heart rate has gone up quite a bit. If you’re working at this level, you won’t be
able to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath. People are less active
nowadays, partly because technology has made our lives easier. We drive cars or take public
transport. Machines wash our clothes. We entertain ourselves in front of a TV or computer
screen. Fewer people are doing manual work, and most of US have jobs that involve little
physical effort. Work, household chores, shopping, and other necessary activities are far less
