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 31 to 35.
Sunlight is solar energy. Sunlight is needed for growing plants that you eat to get energy. Sunlight is
also used to make clean electricity. Burning fossil fuels to make electricity pollutes our atmosphere and
rivers. Fossil fuels are expensive and limited sources of energy. Nuclear fission is used to create enormous
amount of heat and electricity. However, nuclear fission forms dangerous radioactive waste.
Sunlight offers many ways to get energy. A window can allow warm sunlight into your room. Solar
water-heating systems can use sunlight to warm the water for your home, swimming pool and school.
Sunlight also warms the Earth and causes wind. Electricity can be made by wind generators.
Photovoltaic, or PV system use a type of material that converts sunlight into electricity. PV systems
can power your air conditioner or a satellite like the International Space Station. PV systems are also used to
run a calculator, recharge cell phone, or even power lightweight cars.
Sunlight is also changed into electricity by concentrating solar power or CSP systems. CSP systems
have mirrors that focus the sunlight. The concentrated sunlight turns water into steam which turns a turbine
that is connected to an electric generator. A CSP system usually uses sunlight to make steam. CSP power
plants can store large amount of heat. The stored heat is used to make electricity at night. During cloudy
days, many CSP plants can also burn natural gas to provide the heat that is used to turn water into steam.
Sunlight provides the energy needed to grow plants and make large amount of environmentally friendly heat
and electricity. Solar energy can provide power today and for a long time in the 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 questions from 36 to 42.
Mars has been observed by many different cultures from around the world since hundreds of years.
Because of this it is impossible to credit anyone with its discovery, Mars being easily visible with the naked
eye.Observations date back to ancient Egyptian astronomers in the 2nd millennium BCE while Chinese
records about the motions of Mars appeared before the founding of the Zhou Dynasty in 1045 BCE.
Detailed observations were made even by the Babylonians who developed arithmetic techniques to
predict the future position of the planet while the ancient Greeks developed a geocentric model to explain the
planets motions.
To the ancient Romans, the planet Mars was symbolic of blood and war, the equivalent of the Greek
god of war Aries. In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model for the Solar
System in which the planets follow circular orbits around the Sun. Johannes Kepler revised this creation,
yielding an elliptic orbit for Mars that more accurately fitted the observational data. In 1610, Galileo Galilei
first observed Mars with a telescope and within a century, astronomers discovered several features of Mars
and determined the planet’s rotational period and axial tilt.
The idea of life on Mars started a long time ago, and in a way this helped fuel the drive for searching it
upon Mars. Since 1877 onward, it was mistakenly thought that water was found on Mars and later the idea of
life became popularized among the public.
Percival Lowell believed he could see a network of canals on Mars but they were proved to be optical
illusions. Since then, many more details about the planet were gathered both exciting and disappointing, and
the presence of today’s robots on the planet are a testament of the will of the people who wish to finally
find a trace of life on Mars, even if it means finding evidence of past life.
