RAINMAKING
The process of making rain is simpler than you might think. As warm, moisture-laden air ...(23)... from the
surface of the earth, it cools and some of the air condenses into tiny droplets that eventually become clouds.
These droplets form around the microscopic particles such as dust and smoke which are ...(24)... in the air.
The science of weather modification is now big business. Using radar and sensitive equipment that ...(25)...
atmospheric changes, weather modifiers fly above or below the clouds and spray them with billions of minute
particles known as seeding agents. These particles either fall into clouds or are wafted into them from below by
warm currents. They then ‘attract' tiny water droplets which ...(26)... around each one.
When enough droplets are attached, precipitation - the third and final stage in the process which returns water
to the earth’s surface - occurs, and it rains. It may take as many as a million droplets to form a single raindrop.
If the clouds contain ice crystals, the results are similar, but now snow will form instead of rain.
Current weather manipulation technology only allows scientists to ‘encourage’ a cloud that is sufficiently
heavy to produce rain. Some more ambitious scientists ...(27)... a day when they will be able to manufacture rain
from blue skies, but this is still in the far distant future.

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.
Originator of the Montessori method of education for preschool children, Maria Montessori, was the first
woman to receive a medical degree in Italy. After receiving her degree in 1894, she worked with subnormal
children as a psychiatrist at the University of Rome. It was there that she pioneered in the instruction of retarded
children, especially through the use of an environment rich in manipulative materials. The success of Maria's
program with restarted children led her to believe that the same improvements could be made in the education
of normal preschool children. This led her to open the first day care centre in Rome. With its success, similar
institutions were opened in other parts of Europe and in the United States.

In the early part of the 20th century, however, interest in the Montessori method declined because of those who
argued that education should be more disciplined. But by the late 1950's, the Montessori method experienced a
renaissance, and in the 1960's the American Montessori Society was formed. The chief components of the
Montessori method are self-motivation and auto-education. Followers of the method believe that a child will
learn naturally if put in an environment with the proper materials. The teacher acts as observer and only interferes
if help is needed. Educators in this system are trying to reverse the traditional system of an active teacher and
passive class. Its success is being felt in most Western countries.

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 Tuareg bride, Assalama, sits silently as female relatives and helpers make sure that every hair is perfect
for the first day o f her wedding celebration. Such attention is new for the bride, who is only 15 years old and
who has spent most of her time tending her mother’s goats and sheep. The Tuareg are nomads, and it was only
by chance that she was reunited with her 25-year-old cousin Mohamed a month earlier. Just back from five years
working in Libya.
Mohamed spotted Assalama as she drew water from a well. "I knew from that moment that I wanted to marry
her," he says. Wasting no time, he asked for her hand, she accepted, their families approved, and wedding plans
began.
Following Tuareg traditions, the marriage rite is performed at a nearby mosque in the presence of only the
couple’s parents. Assalama and Mohamed are absent. A few days later, the time for the celebration approaches,
and guests begin to arrive. For a week, some 500 guests enjoy camel races, sing, and eat rice, dates, and roasted
meat in tents under the Saharan stars Mohamed wears an indigo tagdmust, a cloth that wraps his head and face.
The rich colour, which rubs off onto the skin, earned these once fierce Saharan warriors the title "blue men of
the desert." For the Tuareg, the tagdmust is more than just clothing that keeps out the desert sand and sun; it
demonstrates respect and is thought to keep evil creatures known as jinns away, as is henna, a reddish-brown
colouring used on Mohamed’s feet. Henna is also a symbol of purity, and is reserved for a man’s first marriage.
At the celebration, a tent called an ehan is prepared for Assalama and Mohamed. Women take down and put
up the tent every day of the celebration, making it slightly larger each time to symbolize the progress of the
celebration and of the couple’s relationship. Assalama stays inside the tent during the whole celebration, only
showing her face or speaking to Mohamed, her best friend, her mother, and one special helper. During the
celebration, neither Assalama nor Mohamed is ever left alone for fear they might be harmed by jealous jinns.
As the celebration ends, the couple prepares to spend the first year of their marriage with Assalama’s family.
Mohamed will offer displays of respect to his in-laws, working hard to win their approval. Once he does that,
he will take his bride back to his camp and start his nomad’s caravan moving again.
Question 43: What is the passage mainly about?
A. the marriage difficulties of a young Tuareg couple

B. a description of the marriage of a Tuareg couple
C. the changing wedding customs of the Tuareg people
D. the love story of two Tuareg cousins

A. this demonstrates respect to jinns.
B. of the fear that they might be harmed by jealous jinns.
C. this displays the respect to their in-laws
D. it is thought to keep evil creatures known as jinns away.
Question 45: During their actual marriage ceremony, Assalama and Mohamed......
A. were not present
B. showed respect to their parents
C. visited a nearby mosque
D. wore traditional Tuareg clothing
Question 46: Henna would NOT be used on Mohamed’s feet if.......
A. he were not wearing a tagelmust
B. he were marrying a cousin
C. he had been married before
D. he was thought to be very pure
Question 47: Why do women make the tent slightly larger each time?

B. to show the progress of the couple’s relationship
