Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) — Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo
developed a superior telescope and made many significant
discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by
the inquisition for his support for the Copernican theory that the sun
was at the centre of the solar system.

Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family
His parents recognized their child's innate intelligence and talents
and so made sacrifices to have him educated. At his father's
insistence, Galileo studied the profitable career of medicine. But, at
the University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a wide range of
subjects. He was also critical of many of Aristotle's teaching which
had dominated education for the past 2,000 years.

Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University


of Pisa, but his strident criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among
his contemporaries. After three years of persecution, he resigned and
went to the University of Padua, where he taught maths. His
entertaining lectures attracted a large following and he was able to
spend the next 18 years pursuing his interests in astronomy and
mechanics.
35. Something that we can learn from Galileo Galilei's biography is ...

A. We must always believe whatever the society believes to avoid


getting persecuted.
B. We must never go against the believe of the society to avoid getting
imprisoned.
C. We should believe in something and stay faithful to it no matter how
hard.
D. We must sacrifice everything to get ourselves educated.
E. We should spend 18 years to pursue our interests.

36. From the fact that Galileo Galilei was imprisoned for supporting the
Copernican theory, which later was proven to be true, we know that Galileo
Galilei was ...

A. Reckless
B. Stubborn
C. Tenacious
D. Arrogant

The following text is for question 39 to 42.


A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water,
sometimes reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land.
These walls of water can cause widespread destruction when they
crash ashore.

These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea


earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a
plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it displaces the water above it
and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami.

Most tsunami, about 80 percent, happen within the Pacific Ocean's


"Ring of Fire," a geologically active area where tectonic shifts make
volcanoes and earthquakes common.

Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic


eruptions. They may even be launched, as they frequently were in
Earth's ancient past, by the impact of a large meteorite plunging into
an ocean.

Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an


hour — about as fast as a jet airplane. At that pace they can cross the
entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their long
wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way.

Distributedbywww.iTapuih.com Page 17
A tsunami's trough, the low point beneath the wave's crest, often
reaches shore first. When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that
sucks coastal water seaward and exposes harbor and sea floors. This
retreating of sea water is an important warning sign of a tsunami,
because the wave's crest and its enormous volume of water typically
hit shore five minutes or so later. Recognizing this phenomenon can
save lives.

A tsunami is usually composed of a series waves, called a wave train,


so its destructive force may be compounded as successive waves
reach shore. People experiencing a tsunami should remember that
the danger may not have passed with the first wave and should await
official word that it is safe to return to vulnerable locations.

Some tsunamis do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves


but instead resemble a quickly surging tide that inundates coastal
areas.
39. Why did the author write the report?

A. To raise people' awareness about tsunami.


B. To warn people about an upcoming tsunami.
C. To inform people about past tsunamis.
D. To inform people about the different types of tsunami.
E. To warn people about the dangers of tsunami.

40. Tsunamis are usually the result of ...

A. The sudden rise or fall of ocean floors

The following text is for questions 43 to 46.


Pakistan's houbara bird facing extinction

The indiscriminate hunting of endangered houbara bustard birds in


Pakistan by rich hunting parties from the Gulf nations have pushed
the species toward extinction. The hunting was initially banned by the
Pakistani courts, but under continuous pressure from the provincial
governments of Sind, Baluchistan, and Punjab, as well as the federal
government, recently the courts lifted the ban on the hunting of this
vulnerable species.

Some people in Pakistan have been advocating for sustainable


hunting of the species instead of a complete ban, but this is highly
debatable. Reckless hunting for decades has pushed this beautiful
species toward extinction and it is now critically endangered in
Pakistan.

No reliable or credible statistics on the population dynamics of the


species are available either. Unless specially protected by the law, the
species runs the risk of becoming extinct in the wild in the next few
decades.

Under these circumstances, they only logical approach to save the


species from extinction in the not-so-distant future is to immediately
start comprehensive captive breeding program for the species across
the nation.

If the captive breeding program runs successfully and produces an


appreciable number of chicks. then reintroduction programs could be
initiated in their wild habitats.

only after rebuilding population for some time in the wild and allowing
them to breed naturally to reach a sustainable population could some
restricted hunting be planned. Currently, the low numbers have made
this species vulnerable and with zero or poor monitoring, sustainable
hunting practices in Pakistan for this dwindling species will not work.

Distributedbywww.iTapuih.com Page 19
Game hunting works only when a stable population is achieved with
strict monitoring on the ratio of males to females hunted per season.
If the females (no true statistics available) are being taken out of the
population through random hunting, the population is sure to pass
through a bottleneck in the wild habitat, with high vulnerability to
eventual extinction.

The people of Pakistan need to decide what is more important-a few


petrodollars or protecting the biodiversity of the nation.

The following text is for questions 47 to 50.
Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation
concerning the use of seat belts. In European countries, this
regulation has been applied for a long time. However, this new
regulation has become controversial and is an interesting topic to
discuss. Here are some of the arguments.

The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury or
death in an accident. Seat belt has become standard component in
cars. The research shows that most car accident will cause an injury
to the head. Frequently, drivers or the passengers driving without
seat belts die because of this. By wearing the seat belts, the injury will
not happen since belts restrain our body on the car seat when the
accident happens.

Unfortunately, many cars, especially the old ones, don't have seat
belts. This is because the traffic conditions in the past were unlike the
recent traffic conditions. The designer of old cars didn't consider a
seat belt as an important part. Besides, the drivers wearing the seat
belt will think that they are completely safe, so they may drive
carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but how about safety of other?

The seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk of car
accidents. It doesn't mean that we are completely safe In short, our
safety depends on ourselves.
47. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

A. Old cars do not use seat belts.


B. The old cars have seat belts for their safety.
C. The drivers wear seat belts may drive carefully.
D. The traffic conditions in the past were similar to the recent.
E. The old cars' designer considered a seat belt as an important part.

48. What is the function of seat belts?

A. To reduce the traffic conditions.


B. To become a standard component in cars.
C. To reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident.
D. To prevent the drivers driving cars carefully.
E. To increase the risk of injury in car accidents.
