One of these survivors is the crocodile, which has been around for about 100 million years. Today’s crocodiles can grow to a length of 20 feet and weigh about a ton. Their prehistoric ancestors were about two-and-a- half times the size of today’s animals. Another survivor from the past is the Galapagos tortoise, whose history goes back around 200 million years. The tortoise of today has not evolved much over the last 200 million years; it looks about the same now as it did way back then. The oldest survivor from prehistoric times is the cockroach. Cockroaches have been able to stick around for more than 250 million years. The main reason for their incredible endurance is their ability to live in all kinds of conditions and survive on all kinds of food. 1.

Humans have heard a whole variety of sounds coming from elephants, but these sounds are not the only way that elephants communicate. A new explanation about elephant communication is being proposed. Elephants vibrate the air in their trunks and foreheads. The sound that is created during this vibration has an extremely low pitch: the pitch, in fact, is so low that humans cannot hear it. However, it seems that other elephants can hear and understand these low rumblings. 1.

Elephants understand it READING 3 During the last 400 years, most scientists have relied on mathematics for the development of their inventions or discoveries. However, one great British scientist, Michael Faraday, did not make use of mathematics. Faraday, the son of a poor blacksmith, was born in London in 1791 and had no education beyond reading and writing. In 1812, Faraday was hired as a bottle washer by the great chemist Humphrey Davy. Later, Faraday became a greater scientist than Davy, making the last years of Davy’s life embittered with jealousy. Faraday made the first electric motor in 1821, a device that used electricity to produce movement. Then Faraday became interested in the relationship between electricity and magnetism. In 183 1, he discovered that when a magnet is moved near a wire, electricity flows in the wire. With this discovery, he produced a machine for making electricity called dynamo. Faraday then went on to show how electricity affects chemical substances. Because Faraday believed that money should be given to the poor, when he grew old, he was very poor. However, Queen Victoria rewarded him for his discoveries by giving him a stipend and a house. He died in 1867. 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Faraday? A. He didn’t make use of mathematics to develop his inventions. B. He just knew how to read and write. C. He was born in a rich family. D. His father was a blacksmith. 2. Humphrey Davy hired Faraday to work as a ……….A. chemist B. bottle washerC. scientist D. professor 3. All of the following are mentioned as Faraday’s achievements except ……………….A. his invention of dynamo B. his discovery of the effects of electricity on chemical substances C. his invention of electric motor in 1821 D. his discovery of magnetism 4. Faraday got a stipend and a house as a reward from ……………….A. Humphrey Davy B. his father C. Queen Victoria D. his friend 5. Faraday died when he was ………...A. 74 B. 75C. 76 D. 77 READING 4 Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginning of agriculture. The global need for weed control has been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic compounds threaten animals and public health when they are present in food plant, ground water, and drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them. In recent years the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world’s weed problems. Therefore, scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms. The biological agents now in use are harmless to humans, environmentally friendly, and offer the benefit of specificity. They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill almost all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant to those that have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be administered only once, after that no added applications are needed. Chemicals, typically, must be used several times per growing season. 1. What is the passage primarily about? A. The importance of the chemical industry B. The dangers of toxic chemicals C. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones D. A suggestion to ban the use of all herbicides. 2. According to the passage, the use of chemical agents ……………..A. has become more dangerous in recent years. B. is occasionally required. C. is perfectly safe D. should be increased 3. According to the passage, biological agents usually consist of ……………..A. insects and micro organisms. B. food plants C. various types of mammals. D. weeds 4. Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over chemical herbicides? A. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants. B. They are safer for workers. C. They are more easily available. D. They do not have to be used as often. 5. The word ‘toxic’ in line 5 means ……………. A. useful B. useless C. poisonous D. harmless READING 5 Most of us are interested in one kind of sport or another, even if we don’t go in for it actively. Lots of people take up a particular sport at an early age, for example tennis, skiing, or ice-skating. If they get up to a suitably high standard, they may go in for local competitions or even championships. But special training is hard work and most young people don’t keep it up. Many of them opt out when they come up against tough competition. To become a professional in any sport, you have to go through with a strict training schedule. And it’s not easy! It means doing without some of life’s little pleasures, too. For example, to build up your physical strength you may have to stick to a special diet and give up some of your favorite foods. Smoking and alcohol are out, and to keep fit you have to work out regularly every day. Sometimes it all pays off, but the road to success is long and there are no guarantees. No wonder that countless young talents decide to settle for a regular job instead, and, as far as professional sport is concerned, for looking on as spectators. 1. The term of “go in for” in line 1 means ……A. give up B. participate inC. begin D. like 2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about special training? A. It is not easy work. B. It hardly works. C. Most young people try to work out regularly. D. Most young people strictly follows a special diet 3. To become professional in any sports, your strict training schedule would probably involve ……………..A. enjoying all life’s pleasures B. eating all kinds of foods C. sticking to a special diet D. smoking and drinking alcohol 4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Few people take up a particular sport at an early age. B. The road to success in sports is long but there are guarantees. C. All of the people who play some sports can go in for local competitions or even championships. D. There are many young talents who decide to settle for a regular job.
