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 26 to 35.
A radio telescope is
a radio receiver that "sees" radio waves.
Unlike a normal telescope, which sees light, a radio telescope is used primarily in the area of
astronomy because it can detect radio waves that are emitted by celestial objects. Such objects in
space, also called radio
objects, can be things such as hot gas,
electrons, and wavelengths given off by different atoms
and molecules.
The first radio telescope was invented by Grote Reber in 1937. He was an American who graduated with a degree
in engineering. He went on to work as an amateur radio operator and later decided to try to build his
own radio telescope in his backyard.
Reber's first two radio receivers
failed to pick up any signals from outer space, but in 1938, his third
radio telescope successfully picked up radio waves from
space.
A radio telescope consists of a large parabolic-shaped dish antenna or a combination
of two or more.
The significance of the parabolic shape allows for the incoming radio waves to be concentrated on one focal point, allowing the signals to be picked up as
strongly as possible. A larger dish means that more signals can be received and focalized.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the
largest radio telescope of
the time was invented with
a seventy-six- meter telescope although larger telescopes have been made since then. The largest
current radio
telescope in the world is the RATAN-600 in Russia,
whose diameter is 576 meters.
It has provided valuable feedback of the sun's radio wavelengths and atmosphere. The largest radio telescope in Europe is
a 100-meter diameter
telescope in Germany, and the largest radio telescope
in the United States is the Big Ear in the state of Ohio.
The largest array of telescopes
is
the Giant Metrewave
Radio Telescope in India.
Radio telescopes have provided scientists with valuable information about
our universe. One of the most
important functions of radio telescopes is their ability
to allow scientists to track different
space probes, the unmanned space missions in outer
space. Radio telescopes
allow for the travel of space probes into places like the
surface of Mars that are too dangerous for men to explore. Without radio wave technology, scientists would not know much of what inhabits the universe nor would they be able to see it. Radio waves are our eyes and
ears in outer space.

and mark the letter
A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered
blanks from 36 to 45.
Why is it that many teenagers
have the energy to play computer
games until late at night but can't find the
energy to get out of bed (36) for school? According to a new report, today's
generation of children are
in danger of getting
so
(37)
sleep that they are putting
their
mental
and
physical
health at
(38) _. Adults can easily survive on seven to eight hours' sleep a night, (39) teenagers require
nine or ten hours. According to medical experts,
one in five youngsters (40)_
anything between two and five hours' sleep
a night less than their
parents did at their age.
This (41)
serious questions about whether lack of sleep is affecting
children's
ability
to
concentrate at school. The connection between
sleep deprivation and lapses in
memory, impaired reaction time
and poor concentration is well (42)
. Research has shown that losing as little as half an hour's sleep a night
can have profound effects
(43) how children perform the next day. A good night's sleep is also crucial for teenagers because it is while they are asleep (44) they release a hormone that is essential
for their 'growth spurt' (the period during teenage
years when the body grows
at a rapid rate).
It's true that they can, to some (45)
, catch up on sleep at weekends, but that won't help them when they are
dropping off to sleep in class on a
Friday afternoon.

and mark the letter
A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer
to each of the questions from 51 to 60.
The ability to conduct electricity is one
of the key properties of a metal. Other solid materials such as silicon
can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain
temperatures. Also,
some substances such as
salt (sodium chloride) can conduct
when molten or when dissolved in water. The ability of metals to conduct electricity is
due to how their atoms bond together. In order to bond
together the metal atoms lose at least one of their
outermost electrons. This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions. The lost
electrons are free to move in what is known as a sea of electrons. Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and
this is what keeps the
structure together.
An electric current is
a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can
be made to flow in one direction
when a source of electrical energy such
as a
battery is connected
to the metal. Hence we have an
electric current flowing
through the wire, and this is what makes metals
such good conductors of electricity. The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are
likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from).
Graphite is a form of carbon and again the
carbon atoms bond in such a way that there
is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric
current. Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to
create a current but only when those ions are
free to move, either when
the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water. In its
solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions
cannot flow.
Electrical insulators are substances
that cannot conduct electricity well either, because
they contain no charged particles or any charged
particles they might contain do not flow easily. Water itself
is a poor conductor of
electricity as it does not contain a significant
amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral). However, most water
we encounter does contain dissolved charged
particles, so it will be more conductive
than pure water. Many of the problems that
occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result
from
the ever-present salt that is left on our skin
through perspiration and it dissolves in the
water to make it more conductive.
