Alligators have always been the most dangerous predators of the Florida Everglades, (1) ____ their
long-held position is now being challenged by a growing population of Burmese pythons.
The Burmese python, a giant snake measuring up to 20 feet long and weighing up to 200 pounds, is
very (2) ____ among exotic pet owners. However, as the deadly snakes grow, they become more
difficult to cage and handle. To avoid dealing with the snakes, the owners irresponsibly release them
into the wild. Since the Everglades is quite similar to the python's native environment of Southeast
Asia, they survive and (3) ____ without difficulty.
The issue with the Burmese pythons is their choice of meals. They eat alligators and endangered birds,
(4) ____ creates strain on an already fragile ecosystem. Recently a 13-foot long Burmese python was
found with a 5-foot alligator bursting from its stomach. The python died trying to eat the alligator but a
larger one would have easily won the struggle. With over 30,000 Burmese pythons now living (4)

Exercise 2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The Sahara Desert is the world's largest hot desert. The Sahara is in North Africa and is as large as the
United States. Many people think that an area like this has no animals or plant life, but they are
incorrect. In fact, the Sahara Desert has many different 'ecoregions’. Each ecoregion has different
plants and animals living there. The biggest ecoregion is called the 'Sahara Desert ecoregion.' In this
area, the climate is extremely dry and extremely hot. The landscape is sandy and dusty with many high
dunes. Because the Sahara Desert ecoregion is so hot and dry, there are very few plants and animals.
Scientists estimate that there are only 500 species of plants. This is not very much when thinking of
how enormous the region is. These plants include acacia trees, palms, spiny shrubs, and grasses. The
Sahara is also home to 70 species of mammals. Twenty of these are large mammals. There are about
90 species of birds and around 100 reptiles.
The biggest threat to plants and animals in this environment is drying up. Because of this, plants have
the ability to recover their health after their leaves have dried out completely. Animals can lose 30-
60% of their body mass and still survive. Most animals do not get their water from drinking like other
ecosystems. Instead, they have adapted to get their water through metabolic processes. This is why
they can survive in a place like the Sahara Desert ecosystem.
1. What is the text mostly about?
A. Location of the Sahara Desert. B. Hot weather of the Sahara Desert.
C. How animals survive on this Desert. D. The Sahara Desert and its ecosystem.
2. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The Sahara Desert has no animals or plants. B. It is the second largest desert.
C. It is in North Africa. D. It is in the United States.

5. All of the following are true about the Sahara Desert EXCEPT ____.
A. there are about five hundred types of plants B. seventy species of mammals can be found there
C. it is home to about ninety species of birds D. Fewer than 100 reptiles are found there
Exercise 3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Amphibians are an animal group that includes frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. These animals live
in and out of the water. The number of amphibians on our planet is declining rapidly in both local mass
extinctions and population crashes. This is a cause for concern as many scientists believe that humans
are responsible.
Since the 1980s, scientists have noticed a decline in amphibian populations. Although many animals
are affected by humans, amphibians have been hit particularly hard. Some scientists believe this is
because of their two-stage life cycle. Unlike most animals, amphibians live their lives in two distinct
stages. The first is aquatic and the second is terrestrial. This means amphibians are sensitive to
environmental changes in the water and on land. They also have permeable skin, which means that
toxins and chemicals can easily get into their bodies.
At first, some scientists did not believe that human pollution was the cause for changes in amphibian
populations. These scientists believed that every species on Earth goes through natural cycles and
changes and that there was not enough long-term data to prove that humans were the problem. In
recent years, this has changed. Almost all biologists are concerned about the decline in amphibian
populations. They are worried not only because many amphibians may go extinct, but also because
these extinctions
will affect other plants and animals in ecosystems. They believe that the decline in amphibian
populations is a warning to humans to stop polluting and clean up Earth.
1. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Endangered reptiles B. Endangered amphibians
C. Amphibian life cycle D. Amphibians and reptiles
2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The number of amphibians is decreasing rapidly.
B. The number of amphibians is increasing.
C. The number of amphibians is going up.
D. The number of amphibians staying constant.
3. In paragraph 2, the word noticed is closest in meaning to ____.
A. studied B. analysed C. become aware of D. started to work on
4. In paragraph 2, the word they refers to ____.
A. scientists B. humans C. animals D. amphibians
5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about amphibians?
A. First they live on land, then in the water. B. First they live in the water, then on
land.
C. They mainly live in water. D. They mainly live on land.
6. In paragraph 2, the word toxins is closest in meaning to ____.
A. poisonous substances B. tonic substances C. essential minerals D. essential
vitamins
7. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Amphibians contribute greatly to biodiversity.
B. All amphibians will go extinct in the near future.

answer to each of the questions.
SCIENCE FLYING IN THE FACE OF GRAVITY
It looked just like another aircraft from the outside. The pilot told his young passengers that it
was built in 1964, a Boeing KC-135 refuelling tanker, based on the 707. But appearances were
deceptive, and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight
of their lives.
Inside, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded from floor to
ceiling; it looked a bit like a lunatic asylum. There were almost no windows, but lights along the
padded walls eerily illuminated it. Most of the seats had been taken out apart from a few at the back,
where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of apprehension.
From 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight
at the invitation of the European Space Agency. The challenge had been to suggest imaginative
experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions. For the next two hours the Boeing's flight
resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason, shooting upwards towards the heavens
before hurting towards Earth. The intention was to achieve weightlessness for a few seconds.
The aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we
were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the
plane into a 45-degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds. Then the engine cut out and we became
10

weightless. Everything became confused, and left or right, up or down no longer had any meaning.
After 10 seconds of free-fall descent, the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive. The return of
gravity was less immediate than its loss, but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came
down with a bump.
After two hours of going up and down in the plane doing experiments, the predominant feeling was
one of exhilaration rather than nausea. Most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience
and one they would be keen to repeat.
106. What does the writer say about the plane?
A. It had no seats. B. It had no windows.
C. The inside was painted white. D. The outside was misleading
107. What does the word eerily in paragraph 2 mean?
A. badly B. brightly C. clearly D. strangely
108. What did the pilot do with the plane?
A. He climbed and made the plane turn over.
B. He climbed and made the plane fall slowly.
C. He quickly climbed and stopped the engines.
D. He took off normally and then cut the engines for 20 seconds.
109. What does the word it in the last paragraph refer to?
A. the exhilaration B. the opportunity C. the plane D. the trip
110. Why was this passage written?
A. To encourage young people to take up science.
B. To describe the outcome of a scientific competition.
C. To report on a new scientific technique.
D. To show scientists what young people can do.
Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The word “robot” first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play,
a man makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In
the 1940s, the American science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov, wrote a series of stories about robots and
invented the term 'robotics', the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were
developed by an engineer, Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they
started Unimation, a manufacturing company that produced the first real robot in 1961, called the
Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a
success. They worked reliably and saved money for General Motors, so other companies were
soon acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science
fiction films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces
of computer-controlled machines, with metal "arms" or "hands". Since they were made of metal, they
could perform certain jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve
high heat. And since robots were tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful
for tasks that would be tiring or boring for humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the
years, and today they are used in many factories around the world. Though the use of robots has meant
the loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created in the design, development, and
production of the robots.
Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put into use by governments and scientists in
situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an
unexploded bomb or an accident at a nuclear power plant. Researchers also use robots to collect
samples of hot rocks or gases in active volcanoes. In space exploration, robots have performed many
key tasks where humans could not be present, such as on the surface of Mars. In 2004, two robotic
Rovers, small six-wheeled computerized cars, were sent to Mars.
