READING COMPREHENSION
Questions 1 – 11

Sharpshooter Annie Oakley is a mainstay in the folklore of the Old West. Born Phoebe
Ann
Moses in 1860, Annie learned to shoo at a very young age out of necessity: she hunted for
birds
and small game animals to help feed her family and to make some extra money by supplying
the
Lin local hotel restaurant with her catch. She soon became known for her excellent
e marksmanship
5 and began taking part in shooting competition at a very young age. It was rather unusual for a
young girl not only to take part in such competitions but to win over older, more experienced
male competitors. At the age of fifteen, she defeated Frank Butler, a professional marksman,
in a
competition. She and Butler were married a year later, and together they took part in
shooting
exhibitions.
In 1885, they joined probably the most famous of all wester shows, Buffalo Bill's Wild
10 West
touring show. As part of their act. Annie shot a cigarette out of her husband's mouth; Frank
Butler's participation in this part of the act clearly demonstrated his faith in his wife's shooting
ability. Annie also accepted volunteers from the audience to take part in her act, and on one
occasion while touring Europe, she even shot a cigarette out of the mouth of Crown Prince
Wilhelm of Germany.

Questions 12 – 20

To understand the forces behind thunder and lightning, one must recall basic information
 about electricity that things can become either positively or negatively charged with electricity
and that two things with opposite charges will attract each other. As the opposite charges
Lin
e become stronger, the attraction becomes greater; eventually the attraction becomes strong
5 enough to result in a discharge that makes the two things electrically neutral again.
Lightning results when one cloud full of moisture develops an opposite charge in relation to
another cloud. The pressure continuous to build until there is enough pressure to break down
the air separating the two clouds. A discharge occurs to neutralize the opposite charges in the
two clouds, and this discharge is what we see as lightning. As this discharge of lightning is
10 occurring, the lightning follows "path of least resistance"; it therefore does not follow a straight
line but zigzags in order to find the easiest route.
Thunder occurs during the discharge electricity. As the discharge occurs, the air in the
vicinity expands and contracts rapidly; the rushing air currents collide, causing the sound that
we hear as thunder. Light travels much faster than sound (the speed of light is 186,284 miles per
15 second, while the speed of sound is 1,100 feet per second), so we see the light first and then
hear the sound later. Of course, the farther away the thunder and lightning are, the greater the
lapsed time between the two. In fact the amount of lapsed time between the two can be used
to determine how far away the thunder and lightning are.

12. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) Basic information about electricity
(B) The causes of thunder and lightning
(C) How lightning occurs
(D) Why thunder and lightning do not seem to occur together

13. Which of the following is NOT true about electric charges?

(A) Something can have either a positive charge or a negative charge.
(B) If one thing is positive and the other is negative, they will attract each other.
(C) If two things have strong negative charges, they will attract each other strongly.
(D) If the attraction between two things gets very strong, a discharge can occur.

14. The word “moisture” in line 6 is closest is 16. The “path of least resistance” in line 10 is

(A) wetness (A) The easiest
