Dear Frank,

All the best to you for the New Year! How are things going in the Land of the Rising Sun? I must say,
I really envy you getting that Tokyo gig with the company. Somehow they overlooked me on that one
and I am forced to slug it out here through another frigid and snowy Montreal winter. Brrrr!

I heard through the grapevine that business is going well there. Rumor has it that you guys are just
about to close a big deal with the Japanese government for an M-750 Simulator. Great news! Good
for the company and good for you. Keep up the great work!

Did you hear about Margie Bronson suddenly leaving the company just before year-end? It was a bit
of a shock to say the least. She gave one week's notice and was gone. Nobody knows for sure what's
up with her but rumors have been flying fast and furious that she went through a bit of a personal
meltdown and has now gone underground to lick her wounds for a while. There could be some truth
to that since her long time relationship ended recently and three months ago she was passed over for
that director position that was up for grabs. I'll keep you posted when we find out more.

2|Page
As for me, I am quite busy these days on the Branscombe Systems Project. We are entering Phase
Two now, and that is expected to run for three years, at least. Frank Schindler is Senior Project
Manager and I am Team Leader of the Embedded Systems Group. I am enjoying it so far. Whether I'll
feel the same way in three years, I'm not sure. By then I might be ready to join you in Japan.

I'm still kicking butt in the squash court and am managing to get in two or three matches per week.
What about squash in Japan? Have you been able to play any over there? Are there even any squash
courts? I suppose since you are in Tokyo there must be some. Let me know.

I have to go now and attend to family duties. Jonathon needs some help with his homework and Angie
wants me to fix something in the kitchen. You single guys traveling the world sure are lucky!

Keep me posted whenever you can. I really enjoy receiving your letters and getting the details of your
life in Japan.

Your squash buddy,

Dave

The following text is for questions number 11 to 14.
There are many kinds of pollution. They can be grouped into several major classifications, of
which we mention, water pollution, air pollution, land pollution, noise pollution and radiation
pollution.
Air pollution is caused by car engines and by big factories with large chimney through which
dirty air escapes.
Land pollution can be caused by waste or rubbish such as paper, bottles, plastic, aluminum,
scraps, junk, etc. Because of our carelessness and laziness, our surroundings are very dirty. They are
filled with household as well as factory waste. Some wastes can be broken by natural organisms such
as bacteria. Rubbish like this is called organic waste. On the other hand, rubbish which cannot be by
natural organisms is called inorganic waste. This is more difficult to dispose of and it makes the
surroundings very unpleasant to look at.
Noise pollution can be caused by several things; loud music through loudspeakers, the noise
of motorized vehicles such as trucks, buses, motorcycles, and also aircrafts. Loud noise may cause
deafness. It can affect the heart and cause nervous strain.
Radiation pollution can kill many people in one moment. It caused by uranium and other
radioactive. The testing of atomic weapons is feared by people in general because atomic weapon are
radioactive. These are a few examples of the different kinds of pollution in our lives.

11. What is the topic of the text?

A. clean environment D. atomic weapon
B. pollutant E. contagious disease
C. pollution

12. The first paragraph tells us about … .

The following text is for questions number 15 to 20.
Some scientist warn that the gradual warming of the earth’s atmosphere, known as the
Greenhouse Effect, will cause dramatic changes in the world as we now know it.

First of all, because of the increase in temperature of up to 10 degrees F by the end of the next
century, which some believe has already begun; there will be changes in existing patterns of
agriculture. Such fertile areas as the U.S. Great Plains may become grain-producing farmland.
Secondly, since rainfall patterns will change, water supplies in some areas will dismiss.
Experts predict, for instance, that the rice fields in Southeast Asia will someday require irrigation to
sustain crops. Changes in water levels will also be responsible for altered living patterns. Coastal
areas, such as Florida and the Netherlands, will experience such a dramatic rise in water levels that
they will fall below sea level and become will uninhabitable. In other areas, like Great Lakes, water
levels will fall; consequently, they will no longer be able to support industry with energy supplies and
a ready means of transportation.
Since most experts on the Greenhouse Effect are convinced that it is irreversible, they advise
us to plan now for how best to cope with a changing world.

15. What is paragraph one about?

A. The changes of rainfall pattern

A. The changing of world’s temperature causes significant effects
B. There will be changes in existing patterns of agriculture
C. U.S will become fertile land
D. Great Plains may become grain-producing farmland

The following text is for questions number 21 to 27.

Lightning or thunder is a natural phenomenon that typically appears during the rainy season
in which the sky appeared a flash of a moment of blinding light is usually called a flash of a moment
and then followed with a booming voice is often called thunder. The time difference is due to the
emergence of differences between the speed of sound and the speed of light.

The lightning is a natural phenomenon that we can analogy with a giant capacitor, where the
first plate is the cloud ( could be negative plate or positive plate ) and the second plate is the earth (
considered neutral ). As already known capacitor is a passive component in the circuit of electricity
that can store energy for a moment ( energy storage ). Thunderstorm can also occur from cloud to
cloud ( intercloud ), where one of the negatively charged cloud and another cloud of positively
charged.

Lightning occurs because there is a potential difference between clouds and the earth or with
any other clouds. The process of charge on a cloud because it’s moving continuously on a regular
basis, and during the movement it will interact with other clouds that would gather the negative
charge on one side ( up or down ), while the positive charge gathered on the positive side. If the
potential difference between the cloud and the earth large enough, there will be disposal of negative
charge ( electrons ) from the cloud the earth or vice versa to achieve equilibrium. In the process of this
charge, the media through which the electron is the air. At the time of electrons to penetrate the air
isolation threshold is an explosion sound. The lightening is more common in the rainy season, due the
situation of air contains more water content so high that the insulation down and current flows more
easily. Because there are laden clouds negatively charged cloud and a positive, then the lightning can
also occur between different cloud charges.

The following text is for questions number 28 to 34.

Coal is a fossil fuel created from the remains of plants that lived and died about 100 to 400
million years ago when parts of the earth were covered with huge swampy forests. Coal is classified
as a non renewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form.

The energy we get from coal today comes from the energy that plants absorbed from the sun
millions of years ago. All living plants store energy from the sun through a process known as
photosynthesis. After the plants die, this energy is released as the plants decay. Under conditions
favourable to coal formation, however, the decay process is interrupted, preventing the further release
of the stored solar energy.

Millions of years ago, dead plant matter fell into the swampy water and over the years, a thick
layer of dead plants lay decaying at the bottom of the swamps. Over time, the surface and climate of
the earth changed, and more water and dirt washed in, halting the decay process. The weight of the
top layers of water and dirt packed down the lower layers of plant matter. Under heat and pressure,
this plant matter underwent chemical and physical changes, pushing out oxygen and leaving rich
hydrocarbon deposits. What once had been plants gradually turned into coal.

Seams of coal – ranging in thickness from a fraction of an inch to hundreds of feet – may
represent hundreds or even thousands of years of plant growth. One important coal seam, the seven –
foot thick Pittsburgh seam, may represent 2,000 years of rapid plant growth. One acre of this seam
contains about 14,000 tons of coal, enough to supply the electric power needs of 4,500 American
homes for one year.

The following text is for questions number 35 to 40.

Waterfalls are major sites of tourist attraction all over the world. Actually, waterfalls are a
type of landform, usually in the form of streams ( having stream bed and banks ) that flow from a
height or down a slope, such as water flowing from steep cliffs or precipices. The water source of
waterfalls varies, based upon the origin. There are three main amazing steps of how waterfalls are
formed due to natural process.

First, as per geology, waterfalls are formed due to the erosive activity of the watercourse,
flowing over varied layers of rocks that have different rates of erosion. We should know that two
consequences of erosion; a watercourse traversing over a soft rock layer will have higher rate of
erosion, in comparation to another area with a hard rock layer. Over a period of time, the erosion

8|Page
process further continues to erode the soft rocks, resulting in the steep of the watercourse beyond the
layer of hard rocks.

Second, in such a condition, the soil erosion rate is also accelerated due to steep effect and
increased speed of the watercourse. Eventually, the steepness of the watercourse increases and a stage
comes in which the slope becomes almost vertical and/or totally vertical, leading to the formation of
waterfalls. The base where the waterfall lands, is called a plunge pull.

Finally, height of the waterfall increases, as the watercourse continues to cut the soft rocks. It
is also observed that the soft rock layer directly under the hard rocks is undercut. In some cases, the
watercourse does not have contact with the wall of the cliff. The overhanging hard rock becomes
unstable due to undercutting process, whereby it may collapse and retreat back.

However, waterfalls are categorized into several types, based on the course of waterfalls,
amount of flowing water and most importanly, the geological process that creates the waterfall. The
two most common types of waterfalls are cascade and cataracts. Cascade waterfalls are formed, if the
volume of water is less and when there are many irregular or uneven surfaces underneath the surface
of water; whereas, larger waterfalls with more volume of water, usually associated with rapids are
called cataract waterfalls. Based on the features, waterfalls can be ledge falls, slide falls, parallel falls,
staircase falls and combination falls.

35. In relation to the position, where does the water come from ?
A. river D. depth
B. sky E. tallness
C. plateau

36. What is the effect of the erosive activity of the watercourse ?

A. flowing over varied layers of rocks D. arrangement of waterfalls
B. varied layers of rocks are formed E. disappearance of waterfalls
C. different rates of erosion are gained

37. What has higher rate of erosion ?

A. A hard rock layer D. Steep of the watercourse
B. Over a period of time E. A soft rock layer
C. Erosion process further continue

38. What can make the soil erosion rate increase ?

A. weather D. low speed of the watercourse
B. height E. formation of waterfalls
C. traversing over a slope

39. Why does hard rock become overhanging ?

A. It lies above the soft rock.
B. The height of the waterfall increases.
C. The hard rock is cut off.
D. The watercourse continues to flow.
E. The undercutting process of the soft rocks keeps happening.

40. Which statement is correct according to the text ?

A. Children dislike cascade waterfalls since they harm their lives.
B. Cascade waterfalls are good places for boys who really like adventures.
C. Adventurers like to visit cataract waterfalls since they give them challenges.
D. Cataract waterfalls are not chosen by adventurers because there is no
challenge for them.
E. Farmers who have vast areas of land greatly need cascade waterfalls

The following text is for questions number 41 to 45.
Honeybees use nectar to make honey. Nectar is almost 80% water with some complex sugars.
In fact, if you have ever pulled a honeysuckle blossom out of its stem, nectar is the clear liquid that
drops from the end of the blossom. Bees get nectar from flowers like clovers, dandelions, berry
bushes, and fruit tree blossoms.

The first step in making honey begins when field bees fly from flower to flower collecting the
nectar. They use their long, tube-like tongues like straws to suck the nectar out of the flowers and then
they store it in their ‘honey stomachs’. Bees actually have two stomachs, their honey stomach which
they use like a nectar backpack and their regular stomach. The honey stomach holds almost 70 mg of
nectar and when full, it weights almost as much as the bee does. Honeybees must visit between 100
and 150 flowers in order to fill their honey stomachs.

The field bees return to the hive and pass the nectar to other worker bees. These bees suck the
nectar from the honeybee’s stomach through their mouths. These workerbees chew the nectar for
about half an hour. During this time, enzyms break down the complex sugars in the nectar into simple
sugars so that it is both more digestible for the bees and less likely to be attacked by bacteria while it
is stored within the hive.

The bees then spread the nectar throughout the honeycombs and water evaporates from it,
making it a thicker syrup. The bees make the nectar dry even faster by fanning it with their wings.
Then, the bees seal off the cell of the honeycomb with a plug of wax. The honey is stored until it is
eaten.

In one year, a colony of bees eats between 120 and 200 pounds of honey. Can you imagine
how many flowers they have collected the nectar from ?

41. How is honey obtained ?

A. It is very useful for human health.
B. from artificial flowers which are liked by bees very much.
C. from nectar which is then processed by honeybees
D. It is obtainable by flowers like clovers, dandelions, berry bushes, and
fruit tree blossoms.
E. Nectar uses honeybees to make honey

42. Why do field bees leave their hive ?

A. They can’t stay longer in their home.
B. Their home is actually from flower to flower.
C. They collect nectar outside their home.
D. Their home is a place for growing.
E. They are hated by other bees.

43. Why is simple sugar necessary ?

A. It is yielded by workerbees.
B. It is broken down by enzyms.
C. It is easily attacked by bacteria.
D. It is kept within the hive.
E. It is easier to be digested.
