 In a word where 2 billion people live in homes that don’t have light bulbs, technology holds the key to banishing poverty. Even the simplest technologies can tranform lives and save money.
	Vaccines, crops, computers and sources of solar energy can all reduce poverty in developing countries. For example, cheap oral-rehydration therapy developed in Bangladesh has dramatically cut the death toll from childhood diarrhoea.
 But even when such technologies exist, the depressing fact is that we can’t make them ........(18) for those who most need them. Solar panels, batteries and ligh bulbs are still beyond the purse of many, but where they have been installed they change lives. A decent light in the evening gives children more time for homework and extends the productive day for adults.
 Kenya has a thriving solar industry and six years ago Kenyan pioneers also .......(19) connecting schools to the Internet via radio links. These people were fortunate started being able to afford solar panels, radios and old computers. How much bigger would the impact be if these things .......(21) and priced specifically for poor people?
 Multinationals must become part of the solution, because while they own around 60 percent of the world’s technology, they seldom make products for poor customers. Of 1,223 new drugs marketed worldwide from 1975 to 1996, for example, just 13 were for tropical diseases.
 People think those enterprises should do more to provide vital products such as medicines.............(23) different prices around the world to suit what people can afford. Alternatively, they could pay a percentage of their profit towards research and development for .........(25).

 The Planets of Jupiter The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s, contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets. Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of a metal. Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth. Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours. As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes. Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years. Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another star like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the bestpreserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System.

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
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as. For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages. Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few. 
Question 43: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? 
A. Gestures B. Signs and signals C. Speech D. Communication 
Question 44: What does the author say about speech? 
A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors. 
B. It is the most advanced form of communication. 
C. It is necessary for communication to occur. 
D. It is the only true form of communication. 
Question 45: According to the passage, what is a signal? 
A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment. 
B. The most difficult form of communication to describe 
C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances. 
D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception. 
Question 46: The phrase “ impinge upon” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to. 
A. prohibit B. intrude 	C. vary D. improve 
Question 47: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _______________. 
A. way 	B. environment 	C. function 	D. signal 
Question 48: The word “ potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by ______________. 
A. advanced B. possibility 	C. organization 	D. signal
Question 49: The word “intricate” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ________ 
A. inefficient B. complicated 	C. historical 	D. uncertain
