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 39 to 43 The Singapore Science Centre is located on a six-hectare site in Jurong. At the centre, we can discover the wonders of science and technology in a fun way. Clap your hands and colorful bulbs will light up. Start a wheel spinning and it will set off a fan churning. It is a place to answer our curiosity and capture our imagination. The centre features over four hundred exhibits covering topics like solar radiation, communication, electronics, mathematics, nuclear energy, and evolution. It aims to arouse interest in science and technology among us and the general public. The centre is the first science one to be established in Southeast Asia. It was opened in 1977 and it now receives an average of one thousand two hundred visitors a day. The exhibits can be found in four exhibition galleries. They are the Lobby, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences and Aviation. These exhibits are renovated annually so as to encourage visitors to make return visits to the centre. Instead of the usual “Hands off’ notices found in exhibition halls, visitors are invited to touch and feel the exhibits, push the buttons, turn the cranks or pedals. This is an interesting way to learn science even if you hate the subject. A Discovery Centre was built for children between the ages of three and twelve. This new exhibition gallery was completed in 1985. Lately this year a stone-age exhibit was built. It shows us about the animals and people which were extinct.

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 44 to 50.
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.
The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to
suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy
emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity
imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy
discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity
Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms?
Gas
Petrol
Steam
Hot wind
What does the author mean by saying that electricity is flexible?
It is cheap and easy to use.
It is used to drive motor engines.
It can be adapted to various uses.
It can be made with ease.
What do we call machines that make electricity?
Voltages
Electric magnets
Generators or turbines
Pipes and radiators
The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to
harmful effects
the tides
scientists
new ways
The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is that they
do not pollute the environment
are more reliable
are more adaptable
do not require attention
The best title for this passage could be
“Types of Power Plants”
“Electricity: Harmful Effects on Our Life”
“How to Produce Electricity”
“Why Electricity Is So Remarkable”
