Read the following passage adapted and choose the correct answer (corresponding to A, B, C, or D) to each of the
questions that follow.
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 31: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to____.

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.
