Have you ever wondered whether fishes drink or not? All living things must drink, and they require a fresh supply of water often. A person can go without food for many days, but he or she cannot go for long without water. Fishes drink, and fishes that live in salt water must drink salt water. However, when we watch them in an aquarium and see them opening and closing their mouths, we must not assume that they are drinking. Fishes need water for its oxygen. The

water that they seem to be gulping gives them oxygen, which is in the water. On the other hand, when a fish drinks, it swallows water, just in the way we do. 7) It is stated in the passage that a fish opens and closes its mouth .............. .

1.In 1665, Englishman Robert Hooke was the first to describe cork cells, which he saw through a simple microscope. Hooke was amazed that there were about twelve hundred million cells in a cubic inch of cork. About the same time, Dutch scientist Anton Leeuwenhoek examined pond water through a microscope. He was surprised to find one-celled organisms, which he called animalcules. By the 1820s, improvements in microscope lenses brought cells into sharper focus. In 1838, two German scientists, Matthias Schleiden

and Theodor Schwann, were the first to explain that all organisms are made of one or more cells. These generalizations form the basis of the cell theory. Which of the following would be the best title for this information? A.Microscopes over the centuries B. A Close-up View of Cells C. The First Life Scientists D. The Development of the Cell Theory

To make compost, a gardener makes a pile of material that was once living. Some kitchen wastes, including vegetable parings and egg shells, work well in a compost pile.

Ants are social animals that live together in a colony. Each ant plays a part in helping the group survive. Usually, a colony has one queen, who lays eggs. There are winged males, which develop from unfertilized eggs, and die soon after leaving the nest to mate with other queens. However, most of the ants are workers. These are females that cannot lay fertilized eggs. Their job is to find food and sometimes to fight to protect the colony. Based on this information, which of the following statements best explains why there are fewer males than worker ants in an ant colony? A. Males do not live long, and only few are required to fertilize a queen. B. Workers are so numerous that they crowd off the males. C. The formation of wings requires a specialized environment. D. Winged males develop from unfertilized eggs. E. Winged males must sometimes flight to protect the colony.

For decades, scientists thought that people were born with all the brain cells they would ever have and that deteriorated or damaged brain cells were not repaired or replaced. However, recent research suggests that people mat add billions of new brains from infancy through adolescence. Even adults may maintain brain function by adding new cells. Many scientists have had difficulty believing the new findings because these findings did not agree with longstanding ideas about the brain. Which is an unstated assumption related to this paragraph? A. Scientists thought people were born with all the brain cells they would ever have. B. Scientists, like other people, sometimes have trouble changing long-held beliefs. C. When brain cells are injured, they cannot repair or replace themselves. D. Recent research on brain cells is not very surprising. E. Even adults may be able to add new brain cells.

Researchers have used electricity to help remove a common industrial solvent from contaminated soil. They sank electrodes up to 45 feet deep and ran an electric current through them. The electrodes attracted water laced with the solvent to the treatment zone. There, clay mixed with iron fillings broke the solvent down. Electrical clean up can be done on site, rather than by shipping contaminated soil elsewhere. Thus, according to researchers, this method is likely to prove less expensive to use than traditional decontamination techniques. Which of the following is an opinion rather than a fact about using electricity to clean up contaminated soil?
A. Electricity is being used in a new method of decontaminating soil at industrial sites polluted with certain solvents. B. Electrodes are sunk up to 45 feet deep in contaminated soil. C. Electric current attracts water laced with the contaminating solvent to the electrodes. D. Clay mixed with iron fillings breaks down the solvent. E. Using electricity to clean up industrial solvents should be cheaper than using traditional methods.
