The main elements required for survival are food, fire, shelter and water. Their order of importance will depend upon where you happen to be. In the desert, water will head the list.Water is the most common liquid on Earth. It covers about 71.4% of the Earth. Pure water has no smell, taste, or color. Water is the main component of drinks like milk, juice, and wine. Water is very important for life but it is something that most people in the modern world take for granted. They are so used to turning on a tap that until an extreme drought causes water rationing they seldom think about it. Yet the survivor at sea, or after a flood, though surrounded by water, may be desperate for drinkable water. And there are many places where, unless it rains, no obvious water is available. Although there could be other survival necessities to deal with, water is always universally important. Read the passage and answer the following multiple-choice: 1. The factor which decides the order of importance or the main elements required for survival is:
  3. A. your health. C. your job. B. your location. D. your strength. 2. The basic need that may NOT be equally important as the others in extremely cold places is: A. water. C. fire. B. shelter. D. none ofabove. 3. Fire is describedas: A. universallyimportant. C. the prime necessity. B. being takenfor granted. D. closely linked with shelter. 4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Exposure to wind is not dangerous in mild climates. B. People may die quickly in the water of polar regions. C. Looking for food is the first thing to do most of thetime. D. Survivors after a flood won't need water for drinking. 5. People got used to turning on a tap when it is A. rainy B. flooded C. droughty D. stormy C2. Solar collectors absorb heat from the sun’s rays. They can be used to effectively heat and cool buildings. The most common type of collector for space heating is a flat plate designed to absorb both radiation falling directly on it, as well as radiation scattered by the atmosphere. Collectors are usually panels of aluminum, copper, or steel. The collector is covered with glass or plastic. This layer allows short-wave radiation or light to enter the collector. As the radiation passes through the glass or plastic, it is transformed from short-wave radiation to long-wave radiation – or heat. A transfer agent (air or water) is circulated through the collector and becomes heated. As it leaves the collector and travels through the heating ducts of a house, it warms the air inside the house or brings hot water to sinks, tubs, and appliances. With solar collectors, storage is a problem: great amounts of heat must be stored for nighttime use and for use during cloudy days. Read the passage and answer the following multiple-choice: 1. Solar collectors can heat and cool houses with heat absorbed from. A. X-ray B.UV C. Temperature D. the sun’s rays 2. Glass and plastic are used to cover the collector so that short-wave radiation can A. protectthem B. enterthem C. excludethem D. erode them 3.

A. suit B. fit C. blend D. match SECTION B At two o’clock one very hot August Sunday, Mrs. Pendlebury sat down in the sitting room, where it was always cool, to write to her son Frank, who lived in Australia. By four o’clock she had written, “Dear Frank, thank you for your last letter, sorry I have been so long replying, only” – and that was all. Only what? Frank’s last letter, or rather his wife Veronica’s last letter, for she did all the writing except at Christmas, had arrived in March. How did she explain five months’
  11. silence? She hadn’t been ill. She hadn’t been what you could call busy. Nothing had happened to write to Australia about, that was the trouble. It would be insulting and childish. She’s been invited so many times to go and meet all Frank’s family. Every for the last ten years since he started making money out of his farm, Frank had invited her to visit them in Australia, all expenses paid, for as long as she choose to stay. Always she had replied, “we’ll see”. But it never went further. Sometimes Mrs. Pendlebury wondered if the people in the coloured photographs they kept sending existed at all. Was that Frank, now quite a lot heavier than that confident-looking boy of nineteen who had gone out to Australia so long ago? And his wife Veronica, who had long red hair and a permanent smile – who was she? Mrs. Pendlebury had studied her photographs extremely closely and still she could get no idea. Her letters were warm and friendly enough but they were only words on paper. You couldn’t tell from letters. At least, Mrs. Pendlebury hoped you couldn’t. Heaven forbids that anyone should judge her by her painful letters. Only her grand children's little messages had any real value. Surprisingly, the girl Carol, who was fourteen, did not write well and never had much to say, but the boy Paul, who was ten, was a good writer. She enjoyed his little letters and it makes her sad to think he could never know from her few words how pleased she was. What a waste! Three lovely grandchildren growing up not even knowing their grandmother. Frank already talked of Carol coming over on her own soon and it really worried her. What should she do with a strange girl? It was the baby she most wanted. Alexander, aged eighteen months, would be no problem. 21. Why was Mrs. Pendlebury finding it difficult to write to her son Frank? A. She did not want to tell him about her troubles B. It was too hot to concentrate on writing C. She was hurt that she had not written recently D. There was nothing particular to write about 22. Mrs. Pendlebury had never been to Australia because A. She has never been made up her mind to go B. She had thought Frank would not really welcome her
  12. C. She had been too busy with her own concerns D. She did not have enough money for the fare 23. What did Mrs. Pendlebury feel when she looked at photos of Frank and his family? A. She doubted if they were as happy as they seemed B. She felt that they were all strangers to her C. She wondered if the photos were genuine. D. She could no longer feel much interest in them 24. What did Mrs. Pendlebury feel about her own letters to Frank and his family? A. They were not as interesting as her grandchildren to her B. They would have been better with some photographs C. They could not express what she really felt D. They sounded full of complaints 25. Paul’s letters to Mrs. Pendlebury A. disappointed her because they were short B. were not as interesting as his mother’s C. made her more dissatisfied with her own letter D. were just a waste of time.
