The following text is for question no 10 - 12

Technically, a hoverboard is a levitating platform (that looks like a skateboard without wheels)
that can be used for personal transportation. The term was invented for the movie Back to the
Future II, where protagonist Marty McFly travels into the future to discover that teenagers are
riding on levitating boards without wheels. Although self-balancing scooters don't actually
hover, people have adopted the term "hoverboard" as a more colloquial way to refer to the
vehicles—mainly because it sounds cooler.
Self-balancing scooters have a few basic components: a gyroscope to determine the pitch or
balance of the machine, motors that keep the board balanced and move it forward,
microprocessors to manage power output to the motors, and large batteries to fuel the device.
The most important function of a self-balancing scooter is (you guessed it!) remaining upright. In
order to do this, microprocessors in the vehicle monitor the direction a rider is leaning. The
gyroroscope, also connected to the microprocessors, helps gather information about the tilt of the
board. Motors inside the board change power output to keep the rider balanced. Every self-
balancing scooter is different, meaning that each one uses a different battery, set of
microprocessors, and motors.

a. to explain about hoverboard
b. to describe hoverboard
c. to persuade the advantages of hoverboard
d. to narrate the great experience of hoverboard

11. What do learn from the text?

a. hoverboard cannot be for personal transportation
b. hoverboard is inspired by the movie of Future II
c. hoverboard is really levitating
d. a gyroscope does not determine the pitch or balance of the machine
e. Motors inside the board change power output to keep the rider imbalanced

12. …helps gather information about the tilt of the board. The underlined word is similar
meaning to …
a. leaning
b. circulating
c. levitating
d. stick
e. direction
The following text is for question no 13 - 15

A typical unmanned aircraft is made of light composite materials to reduce weight and increase
maneuverability. This composite material strength allows military drones to cruise at extremely
high altitudes. Drones are equipped with different state of the art technology such as infra-red
cameras(military UAV), GPS and laser (military UAV). Drones can be controlled by remote
control system or a ground cockpit.

Drones come in a wide variety of sizes, with the large drone mostly used for military purposes
such as the Predator drone, other smaller drones which can be launched by hand, to other
unmanned aircraft which require short runways. An unmanned aerial vehicle system has two
parts, the drone itself and the control system.

The nose of the unmanned aerial vehicle is where all the sensors and navigational systems are
present. The rest of the body is complete innovation since there is no loss for space to
accommodate humans and also light weight. The engineering materials used to build the drone
are highly complex composites which can absorb vibration which decreases the noise produced.

One of the most popular drones on the market is the Phantom 2 Vision+. While slightly old
now, it uses plenty of advanced technology and it is very popular with professional
cinematographers. This UAV is ideal to explain drone technology because it has everything in
one package. It includes the UAV, gimbal and camera and uses some of the top drone
technology on the market today.

13. Why can military drones cruise at extremely high altitudes?

a. they are unmanned
b. They have strong composite material
c. they are equipped with infra-red
d. They have very short runways
e. They do not produce noise

14. We can understand from the text that…

a. unmanned aerial vehicle is only used by military
b. GPS and laser do not belong to state of the art technology
c. The predator drone is one of the largest drones
d. complex composites cannot absorb vibration
e. professional cinematographers use drone for military purposes.

15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

a. One of the most popular drones in the market.
b. The features of The Phantom 2 Vision+.
c. Popular drones among professional cinematographers.
d. The high tech drone for cinematographers
e. The facilities provided by the Phantom 2 Vision+.
