Text1 Since the birth of the skyscraper, builders and engineers have continuously looked for ways to improve building methods and materials, in order to make structures stronger, taller, and lighter. Skyscrapers are built to last, so they must be made of materials that are strong; durable; resistant to the sun, wind, rain, frost, and snow; and affordable. Concrete is one of the most common materials, beyond the steel supports, because itis enormously versatile. Its composition can be changed depending ‘on the needs of the building. It can be reinforced to, make it stiffer and stronger by setting steel mesh or boars into the concrete. And additives can make it set ‘or harden faster or slower depending on the needs of the design. Another veryimportantmaterialisglass.Because the steel skeleton now supports the main loads of the building, the outer skin only serves to keep the weather out and let light in, the more light the better. So glass walls became very popular beginning after World War Il, because they are weatherproof while providing ample natural ight, and also because they are so much lighterand cheaper-than masonry or concrete. tr 3 31,2015) (wewminfoplease.com/spotiskyscraperhi ‘essed Decemt @ whats the text mainly about?

Text 2 The most common causes of tsunamis are underwater earthquakes. To understand underwater earthquakes, you must first understand plate tectonics. The theory of plate tectonics suggests that, the lithosphere, or top layer of the Earth, is made up a series of huge plates. These plates make up the continents and seafloor. They rest on an underlying viscous layer called the asthenosphere. Think of a pie cut into eight slices. The pie crust ‘would be the lithosphere and the hot, sticky pie filing underneath would be the asthenosphere. On the Earth, these plates are constanly in motion, moving along each other as most drat a speed of 1 to 2 inches (25-5 cm) per year. The movement occurs most dramatically along fault lines (where the pie is cut). These motions are capable of producing earthquakes and volcanism, which, when they occur at the bottom of the ocean, are two possible sources of tsunamis. When two places come into contact at a region known as a plate boundary, a heavier plate can slip under a lighter one. This is called subduction. Underwater subduction often leaves enormous handprints" in the form of deep ocean trenches along the seafloor. In some cases of subduction, part of the seafloor connected to the lighter plate may “snap up” suddenly due to pressure from the sinking plate. This results in an earthquake. The focus of the earthquake is the point within the Earth where the rupture first occurs, rocks break and the first seismic waves are generated. The epicenter is the point on. the seafloor directly above the focus. When this piece of the plate snaps up and sends tons of rock shooting upward with tremendeous force, the energy of that force is transferred to the water. The energy pushes the water upward above normal sea level. This is the birth of a tsunami, The earthquake that generated the December 26, 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean was 9.0 in the Richter scale-one of the biggest in recorded history. @ which of the following best states the topic of this text? the birth of a tsunami the magnitude of tsunamis ‘Tsunamis in the Indian Ocean Series of huge plate on earth Lithosphere and asthenosphere mons> @ The main idea ofthis text is that... A. Deep ocean trench is a result of an earth: quake. B,_ The energy of subduction can lead to earth- quake. . Plate tectonics lead to an earthquake and volcanism, D. Tsunamis in the Indian Ocean are the big gest in the history. E. Strong movement of undersea fault lines ‘cause tsunamis. ‘Question 82 is based on Text 3. Text3 Alternative energy sources are becoming increasingly attractive as the energy crisis becomes more severe. Solar heating systems, which use the sun's radiation as a source of energy, are a promising alternative energy source. Nuclear power plants are already in operation in several parts of the country. Government and private industry are even. investigating the possiblity of capturing the power of ocean waves and tides for conversion into usable energy. Coal is once again becoming an acceptable fuel as the nation searches for solutions to the energy shortage. Even garbage is seen as a potential source of energy. In some communities, garbage is burned to heat buildings and light streets. @ which of the following statements is TRUE about alternative sources of energy? A. Garbage can be recycled into energy to run factories. B, The crisis of alternative energy sources be- ‘comes more severe. Energy from the sun seems to be to poten- tially the best alternative. Coal is considered not suitable to replace il. Private industries have succeeded in produc- ing energy from ocean waves and tides. mo ‘Questions 83-88 are based on Text 4. Text 4 ‘The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in. the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly \G 907800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. Itweaves through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4feetin diameter, and. up to 2 million barrels (or 84 milion gallons) of crude oilcan be pumped through it daily. Resting on H-shaped steel racks called “bents? long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground. and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the pipelines up-and-down route is determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic, climate, the tortuous lay of the land, and the varied compositions of sol, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon. the type of terrain and the properties of the soil. One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so 8 major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controlled oil rights to particular shares of land in the oilfields and paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size ofits holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply shortages, equipment breakdowns, labor disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has been completed and is operating, (weronacademiased accessed December 28,2015) Or passage is primarily concerned with ...

Consensus Questions 89 and 90 are based on the following text. Text Education is often viewed as school in traditional, formal sense. Many people believe that true learning can only take place in a formal classroom setting Others feel education occurs in many different forms and environments, There may not be a definitive answer to the question of, "What is education?” However we can start thinking about the purpose of education. Is it to educate youth to be responsible citizens? Is ito develop individuals, as well as society, in order to ensure a society's economic success? Or is itto simply focus on developing individual talents and intelligence? Perhaps itis the balance of all three that defines education? While our answers may differ, we can perhaps agree that education is a basic human right. When that right is granted growth and development, the society as a whole is more likely to improve in areas such as health, nutrition, general income and living standards and population fertility rates.As global itizensitis our responsibility to critically think about the issues and attempt to come up with solutions to the problems plaguing education in 1990 UNESCO launched EFA, the movement to provide quality education forall children, youth, and adults by the year 2015. The unfortunate reality is that for many countries, larger issues come before improving the quality of education. How can we achieve the goals of EFA when numerous countries around the world are faced with challenges that seem far too impossible to overcome? The answer lies in attempting to bridge some of the gaps that prevent developing nations to compete with developed nations. On example: that of providing greater access to technology and. narrowing the ever widening digital divide. in many ways to most basic access to technology can serve as a valuable educational tool. Individuals who are not afforded this access are at disadvantage when trying to grasp opportunities to make life better for themselves, their families, and their community. © The situation of the author shows in the passage above is best described as follows... A quality education fundamentally ensures quality ving in all sectors. B. education is essentially everyone's right yet it still hasit challenges. C._ there are problems in education in spite of its significant role. D. as long as nations compete, education can- not progress. E, absence of an exact definition causes prob- lems in education. @ The author’ opinion in the passage is A. everyone doesn't have the right to get edu- cation. B. education cannot be easily defined. C._EFA provides quality education by 2015. D. education is not necessary for the citizens. E, problems related to education can only be solved by EFA,
