21. How a Geyser Forms

A geyser field is usually located in an area where there has been recent volcanic activity. There can be
hundreds of geysers in a geyser field. Their positions depend on the system of channels underground.
Cold surface water seeps underground. It flows through cracks in nonporous rock (rock that does not soak
up water) and collects in channels of porous rock (rock that soaks up water). The water is heated by hot
rock, and it begins to expand and boil. Water at the top boils off or spills over. This reduces the pressure
and causes deeper water to boil much more violently, creating jets of steam and fountains of hot water.
Tense that are used in the text above is .....
A. past tense
B. future tense
C. present perfect
D. present tense
E. present continuous tense

22. The water is heated by hot rock, and it begins to expand and boil.

Butterflies are insects undergo a complete methamorphosis during their life cycle. They are born as
eggs that hatch into larvae and then grow into pupas, before transforming into adults which are butterflies.
Adult female butterflies lay many almost-invisible eggs simulataneously on plants. These plants, later,
will become a source food for the hatching eggs, called larvae. At the stage of larvae, the hatching eggs
do not look like butterflies. The larvae of butterflies are called caterpillars. The only thing caterpillars do
is eat.
The food they eat will be stored and used when they become butterflies. During their growth before
turning into pupas called chrysalises, they shed skin 4 to 5 times. When they are fully grown, they stop
eating ant turn into pupas, hanging under branches, leaver or other hidden areas. Inside the pupas, the
cells of caterpillars turn into parts of butterflies’ bodies.
When the caterpillars come out their pupas, they have already transformed into butterflies. They have
compound eyes and long antennae, and legs and wings. At the final stage of their life cycle, the jobs of
butterflies are mating, and laying eggs to become the next caterpillars.

A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It usually causes
great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are
homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the
surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief
can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and
can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be
absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring
destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to
surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring
swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were
invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain
from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the
flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village,
only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and
neighborhoods before being controlled.

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace
the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in
the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the
action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice
which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is
mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the
small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the
food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch
projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.
