Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question (1,0pt). Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best place for houses in a moon town will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not be squashed by meteorites that constantly fall on the moon from outer space. This will be important on the moon, since daytime is so hot that food could be cooked in the rocks, and the nights get bitterly cold. Pioneer moon homes may be made of airtight plastic that can be blown up like a balloon inside the cave. The reason for this is that the moon has no air around it. The pioneers will have to take along from the earth the oxygen masks when they are away from home. But the balloon house itself will be filled with air. Perhaps the house will have beds, tables and chairs, built into it. These can be inflated, too. So people will sleep, eat and work on air! Moon-house building will be easy. The moon’s gravity is less than the earth’s. Everything weighs only one-sixth as much as it does on the earth. 27. What will the pioneers have to take along from the earth when they are away from home? A. a plastic bagB. the oxygen masksC. the oxygen maskD. oxygen 28.

Electronic devices are becoming more and more popular with teenagers nowadays. Is this trend beneficial or harmful to teenagers? On the bright side, electronic devices are good tools for teenagers. Firstly, teenagers can use them for educational purposes. For example, many educational smartphone apps can help teenagers improve their English skills. Secondly, electronic devices offer many ways to relax. After a long day at school, teenagers can sit down and enjoy their favourite films or listen to music on their phones. However, lack of physical activities, the weakening of eyesight and sleep disorders are often the negative sides of spending too much time on electronic devices. Instead of playing outdoors or sports, many teenagers sit in front of the screen for hours, making them more passive. Many teenagers nowadays are wearing glasses as a result of the uncontrolled use of such devices. Moreover, using electronic devices can disturb a regular sleep pattern as teenagers are too involved in such gadgets without remembering to sleep on time. In short, electronic devices have both positive and negative sides. However, teens should be aware of the amount of time sitting in front of the screen. 26. In which area can electronic devices be helpful for teenagers? _______________________________________________________________________________________ (Electronic devices/They can be helpful for teenagers) in education and entertainment 27. How can teenagers relax? _______________________________________________________________________________________ (Teenagers/They can relax) by watching their favorite films or listening to music on their phones. 28. How many problems may teens have if they use electronic devices too much? _______________________________________________________________________________________ They may have three problems: lack of physical activity, weakened eyesight, and sleep disorders 29. Why do many teenagers nowadays wear glasses? _______________________________________________________________________________________ Many teenagers wear glasses because of the uncontrolled use of electronic devices, which weakens their eyesight. 30. What should teenager do to avoid negative sides of electronic devices? _______________________________________________________________________________________ Teenagers should be aware of the amount of time they spend in front of the screen.

(1,25 pts) How many planets are there in our galaxy? That's a tricky question to answer. Are there other planets that support life? That‟s exactly what the Kepler mission hopes to discover. NASA launched the Kepler space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in 2009. So far it has discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our solar system. These planets are hotter than the Earth's sun - much too hot for life as we know it. The Kepler team predicts that they will need at least three years (and possibly longer) to find an Earth-like planet. The simplest requirement for a planet to have life (carbon-based life like on Earth) is for there to be liquid water (not frozen or gas) so the distance from the planet's sun and therefore temperature are important. There also needs to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is as small as Mars (half the size of Earth) its weak gravity means that it can't hold on to air molecules. If a planet is Neptune sized (four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity and too much air. So size matters too. 26.What is the mission of the Kepler? _____________________________________________________________________________________ 27.When did NASA launch the Kepler space telescope? _____________________________________________________________________________________ A. Dropping litter is forbidden. B. Empty the garbage. C. Put the rubbish into the bin. D. No littering. A. I allow myself to make noise. B. I should keep quiet. C.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often described as the "Red Planet" because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and the second highest known mountain within the Solar System (the tallest on a planet), and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons of the Solar System. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. Mars has two known moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured asteroids, similar to 5261 Eureka, a Martian Trojan asteroid. 26.

Robots are like special machines that can do tasks without needing human help all the time. They are made by people and are programmed to do specific jobs. Some robots are like helpers at home because they can vacuum the floor or even mow the lawn. Others are used in factories to help make things like cars or phones faster and more accurately. There are also robots that help doctors with surgery, making procedures safer and more precise. With the help of robots, humans can do tasks that are too dangerous or boring for us. However, robots are not just about work. Some are designed to be fun, like robot toys or even pets that can respond to commands. But while robots can be really helpful, some people worry that they might take over jobs that people used to do, which is something we need to think about as we keep inventing new technology. Overall, robots are amazing inventions that can make our lives easier as long as we use them wisely. 25. What are robots? A. Animals B. Rocks C. Trees D. Special machines programmed to do tasks 26.

Read the text about life in space. Answer each question with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS. Life in Space Astronauts live on a space station that orbits Earth. They conduct scientific research, including studying the effects of space on humans and plants. They also maintain the station and ensure everything functions properly. Living in space affects the body. Astronauts often experience space sickness, like a stuffy nose or puffy face, due to the lack of gravity. They must exercise regularly to prevent muscle weakness and monitor their health. Eating in space is challenging because food and drinks float. Astronauts bring freeze-dried food, which becomes soft and sticky after adding water. They also receive fresh food from Earth. Besides working, astronauts eat, sleep, and relax like they do on Earth. Despite the challenges, life in space is an exciting and unique experience. 26. Where will an astronauts live while in space?_____________________ 27.

(1.0pt) Many scientists believe that people will live on other planets in the future, but not on one of the planets in our system.We cannot live on the four outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, because they are large balls of gas. The four inner planets, including the Earth, are made of rock, so it is possible to land spaceships on Mercury, Mars and Venus. At some time in the future, spaceships might be able to travel the huge distances in an astronaut’s lifetime, or perhaps people could go into something like a freezer while the journey happened. However, the average temperature on both Venus and Mercury is much too high for human life. Mars has a very thin atmosphere, and this is why there is no water on the surface except in the form of ice. A thick atmosphere like the Earth’s keeps water on the surface in rivers and oceans and near the surface of a planet in the form of rain. Venus has the opposite problem with its atmosphere. It is very heavy, so it pushes down on the surface with about 100 times the strength of the Earth’s atmosphere. 1.
