Q1. Answer the questions based on the information in the paragraphs below. (10)
1. Arrowheads are tiny stones or pieces of wood, bone, or metal which have been sharpened in order to create a tipped weapon used in hunting. The material is honed to an edge, usually in a triangular fashion, and is brought to a deadly tip. On the edge opposite to the tip is a flared tail.
Which of the following is not a material from which arrowheads were made?
A. Wood
B. Glass
C. Bone
D. Stone
2. When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people every year is one that you have probably killed yourself many times: the mosquito.
According to the author, some people are more afraid of tigers and sharks than mosquitoes because tigers and sharks:
A. kill more people than mosquitoes
B. are big and powerful
C. are found all over the world
D. have no natural enemies
3. Volvo is building a car that will use gasoline without burning it. CNet Car Tech reports that Volvo will use a fuel cell that converts the hydrogen in gasoline into electricity to run the vehicle’s electric motor when the battery is low. The plug-in hybrid will go farther on the same amount of fuel because regular gasoline engines waste much of the fuel’s energy as heat.
To fill this car with fuel, _______.
A. you’ll have to find a station that sells hydrogen
B. you’ll be able to go to any regular gas station
C. you must plug it in overnight
D. you only need to add water
4. Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon flying? The same principle that keeps food frozen in the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows hot air balloons to fly. It's a very basic principle: hot air rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air in the grocery store freezer settles down around the food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground.
According to the information provided which of the following is TRUE?
Hot air falls and cold air falls too.
Hot air rises and cold air falls.
Hot air falls and cold air rises.
Hot air rises and cold air rises too.
5. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the entire moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a “blue moon.”
When does a blue moon happen in nature?
A. When there are two full moons in one month
B. When the moon has a blue color
C. When we cannot see the moon at all
D. When we can only see a small part of the moon
