Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has 
been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was 
passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that 
provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, 
those forms have not much adaptability. 
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that 
drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric 
magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by 
electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a 
furnace or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee. 
Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest 
power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily 
and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. 
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or 
water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without 
polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. 
Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once 
occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, 
which caused many deaths through radiation. Now scientists are examining new ways of creating 
electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out 
of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for 
swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is 
necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases 
given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels. 
Question 36: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first 
paragraph to _____. 
A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy 
B. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity 
C. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity 
D. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy 
Question 37: Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms? 
A. Hot wind B. Steam C. Gas D. Petrol 
Question 38: What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible? 
A. It can be adapted to various uses. B. It is cheap and easy to use. 
C. It is used to drive motor engines. D. It can be made with ease. 
Question 39: The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are _____. 
A. atomic power and water B. water and coal 
C. sunlight and wind power D. wind and gas 
Question 40: The word “they” in the last paragraph refers to _____. 
A. new ways B. harmful effects C. scientists D. the tides 
Question 41: Electric magnets are used in steel works to _____. 
A. boil a jug of water B. test the steel for strength 
C. lift heavy weights up to ten tons D. heat the molten steel 
Question 42: The best title for this passage could be _____. 
 A. “Why Electricity Is So Remarkable” B. “Types of Power Plants” 
C. “Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life” D. “How to Produce Electricity”

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to 
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. 
Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world 
except the northernmost and southernmost regions. One commonly known species is the honeybee, 
the only bee that produces honey and wax. Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and 
other products, and they use the honey as a food. While gathering the nectar and pollen with which 
they make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land. Many 
fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom. 
Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with 
storage space for the honey. The different types of bees each perform a unique function. The worker 
bee carries nectar to the hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach. Other workers make 
beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or 
cells. The queen lays eggs in completed cells. As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more 
eggs. 
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen. The male 
honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting. They are developed from unfertilized 
eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen. The queen must be fertilized in order to lay worker 
eggs. During the season when less honey is available and the drones is of no further use, the workers 
block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death.

A. The Honeybee – Its Characteristics and Usefulness 
B. The Many Species of Bees 
C. The Useless Drone 
D. Making Honey

A. mates B. killers C. varieties D. enemies 
Question 45: It is stated in paragraph 2 that a hive is _____. 
A. a type of honey B. a storage space 
C. a type of bee D. a nest 
Question 46: According to the passage, the drone _____. 
 A. collects less honey than workers 
 B. mates with the queen and has no other purpose 
 C. comes from eggs fertilized by other drones 
 D. can be male or female 
Question 47: The author implies that _____. 
 A. drones are never females B. bees are unnecessary in the food chain 
 C. drones are completely dispensable D. the queen can be a worker 
Question 48: According to the passage, honey is carried to the hive in a honey stomach by the 
_____. 
A. queens B. drones C. males D. workers 
Question 49: The word “They” in the last paragraph refers to _____. 
A. workers B. queens C. honeybees D. drones

A. absorbent B. complex in structure C. pliable D. sweet
