5) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
What is love? The writer of "The Chemistry of Love" believes that falling in love is influenced by
our brain chemistry. This connection between the way we feel and the way our bodies function is
his main concern. Falling in love gives you extra energy. Your heart beats faster and you feel
optimistic. Love meets our emotional needs, this makes everything look possible and rosy and we
work better.
The book says we are programmed at birth to produce endorphins when we are in close
relationships. It is nature's way of keeping us together. When the relationship ends - or we are
afraid it might end - production of endorphins stops.
What is remarkable in a relationship is the newness. You need newness, sharing and growth. The
brain has to experience a change which creates excitement. That is why the great romances of
literature are never between people who stay together.

c) uses up a lot of your energy
b) makes you pessimistic
d) is determined by inner chemistry
6) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Some editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with
unimportant facts and statistics. Once, a journalist was instructed to write an article on a new
president’s palace. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and refused to
publish it. The article began: "Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the
president's palace." The editor at once sent a telegram telling the journalist to find out the exact
number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist set out to obtain these important facts. But he took a long time to send them and
the editor got impatient. In another telegram he said if he didn't reply soon, he would be fired. A

A scientific principle is often understood long before it is made into an invention. This was the
case with the power of steam and steam engines, but not with laser. The word laser stands for Light
Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Simply laser is a device that produces a very
strong light called coherent light or laser beam. The light derived from electric bulbs or the sun incoherent light - moves in all directions. Laser beam moves in only one direction and is much
stronger. Laser uses are countless. One of its earliest uses was measuring distances and speeds
and it was amazingly accurate. For example, the exact speed of light was determined to be 186, 282.
397 miles per second. Now laser is used in the military field, surgery, factories, supermarkets,
telephone work, video disc players and so many others. The laser can truly become the light of the
21st century.

6) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
What does it mean to be lucky? It commonly means someone who gets something valuable
without really trying, someone who is in the right place at the right time. The person who buys a
winning lottery ticket or who discovers a lost painting by a famous painter - these are lucky
people. Yet, luck does not guarantee happiness.
Accepting ourselves exactly as we are at this present moment provides the courage to move
forward. Believing that all our choices in the past were the best we could have made frees us from
regret. It also reinforces our belief that we are as good as we can be now.
The best preparation for the future is self-acceptance in the present. Self-acceptance and trust
in people are the foundations of confidence and courage. Added to action, they lead to more
opportunities for unexpected events - which people call luck - that can enrich our lives.
A) Give short answers to the following questions: 1- Why is self-acceptance important?
3- What does the underlined word refer to?
2- How can we best prepare for the future?

5. Read the following passage, then answer the questions: [5 marks]
Have you ever wondered how you would grasp the information taught in class? Our minds and
bodies gather information in various ways. Then our minds process that information, organizing it
and making connection to things we already know. This process can also work differently: do we
think in pictures or words? Do we remember details or the big picture? To sum up, people have
different learning styles. Psychologists have identified some basic learning styles: the linguistic
type learns by using language skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. Logical refers to
people who learn by applying scientific principles. The visual type learns by seeing while musical
people learn well when information is presented through music. The next type learns best by
movement and physical activities. Finally, the intrapersonal learners associate new information
directly with their own experiences while the interpersonal type learns well by working with others.
A. Give short answers to the following questions:
1- What is the main idea of the passage?
2- Which type of learners are you? Why?

Brain drain, the action of having highly skilled and educated people leaving their country to
work abroad, has become one of the developing countries concerns. Many of them are heading for
more developed countries, searching for higher wages and better working conditions. What makes
those educated people leave their countries should be seriously considered and a distinction
between push and pull factors must be made. The push factors include low wages and lack of
satisfactory lifestyle. Social and economic unrest may also be determining causes. The pull factors,
however, include intellectual freedom and enough money for research. Brain drain has undesirable
effects on the sending countries. It reduces the number of creative people in developing countries.
Similarly, with more investments abroad, these countries are missing an opportunity of wealth
creation. This also has negative results on employment.

5. Read the following passage, then answer the questions: [5 marks]
The ancient Egyptians are among the first early civilizations to learn how to grow roses. In 8111,
two-thousand-year-old roses were found in ancient Egyptian graves. The discovery suggested
roses were an important part of the burial ceremonies, which took place when an important person
died. The roses found in the tombs are thought to be the oldest preserved flowers ever found in the
entire world. They must have been cut and dried before opening to remain undamaged. On careful
examination, it was discovered that the petals themselves were hardly damaged. Egypt’s expertise
in mass-cultivation of roses in early times led to the flowers becoming an important export product.
At the height of the Roman Empire, Egypt exported enormous quantities of the blooms to the
Roman courts. Wealthy Romans loved to indulge in the beautiful colours and smells of roses and
they would strew the floors of their main halls with layers of rose petals.
A) Answer the following questions:
1- What is the main idea of the passage? 2- How did the Ancient Egyptians preserve the roses?
3- From the passage, prove that the ancient Romans loved roses.
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4- The roses found in the tombs were ………………..

b) greatly damaged

b) petals
c) tombs
d) ceremonies
d) hydrated
6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions: [5 marks]
As cities become more crowded, workers often have to move farther away from their offices to
find affordable housing in desirable neighbourhoods. Sometimes they have to commute, that is to
travel an hour or more to work and back, and endure heavy traffic. One popular solution to the
difficult daily travel is telecommuting, which involves working from home and communicating with
one’s employer by phone, fax, or e-mail. Changing technology makes telecommuting increasingly
easy and popular. Some people work at home full time, while others go into the office one or two
days and work at home the rest of the week. Telecommuting has many advantages. Besides saving
people from the stressful traffic, it allows for more flexibility in the workplace. Telecommuters can
plan their own timetables; and they can work from anywhere. Often, people with children like to
telecommute because it means building a work plan around family demands and duties.
A) Answer the following questions:
1- Are you for or against telecommuting? Why/Why not?
2- Why do many people have to search for houses in remote areas?
3- How can telecommuting solve the traffic problem?
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4- According to the passage, unless you have a computer, you …………….. .
a) may have a busy schedule.
b) won’t be able to telecommute.
c) will be able to work from home.

Many people like to take part in extreme sports. These sports are thrilling but can be dangerous.
They require skill and technique and a sense of adventure. Extreme sports started long ago. Hanggliding, skydiving and hot-air ballooning are just three of the many extreme sports practised.
Hot-air Ballooning is recognised as a sport in 1960. The huge multicolour balloon has been made
from nylon and is lifted into the sky by controlling the air inside the balloon. To make the balloon
go higher, the balloon pilot blasts hot air inside the balloon. Bottled Propane gas is used to heat the
air. This fuel can be turned off and on by the balloonist .To make the balloon descend, the air has to
be left to cool. A basket, which holds the balloonist and passengers, is attached to the balloon by wires.

Many unusual weather phenomena include lightening, droughts, and floods. Lightening occurs

and hit to form electricity which travels through the air causing lightning. The temperature of
lightning can be hotter than that of the sun. Lightning is very dangerous. It may strike mountains,
people, and buildings. It also causes trees to fall, or catch fire.
A drought occurs when not enough rain falls. It happens when weather is hot and water is
quickly evaporated in dry areas of land. Droughts can cause loss of topsoil and damage of crops.
They can result in famine, diseases and wildfires. Floods are formed when big waves are rolled on
dry places. They occur when it rains more than the land can handle. Floods can make people drown
and die, and may destroy many homes.

5- People can waste lots of money by using the underground.
6- I have been learning English since 12 years.
5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Flowers produce a fine powder called pollen, which is carried by the wind or by insects to
other flowers of the same type so that they can produce seeds. Pollination, the carrying of
pollen from one flower to another, is necessary for the reproduction of plants and for the
production of food. Scientists estimate that one third of our food depends on insects, mostly
bees, for pollination.
But in recent years, there has been a big drop in the populations of pollinators worldwide.
There are several reasons. The use of pesticides has had the side effect of killing pollinators.
Air pollution prevents insects from smelling and finding flowers, which they need for food.
Diseases are killing many insects. Growing cities are destroying the environments where
pollinators live. Recently, shortages of fruit and vegetables in India were blamed on the loss
of pollinators. Clearly, it is important that we find solutions quickly.
Give short answers to the following questions:
1- What is a pollinator?
2- Is pollen only carried by insects? Explain.
3- Why has the number of pollinators dropped?
Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4- Which is the best title for this text?
a) The Importance of Bees
b) Pollinators in India
c) The Loss of Pollinators
d) Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
5- How does air pollution affect pollination?
a) Flowers can't make pollen.
b) Insects can't smell the flowers, so they can't find them.
3) Insects can't pollinate the flowers because they can't see them.
d) Pollution kills insects.
5) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Art does not just refer to paintings in a museum. There are many different kinds of art. Advertising
and architecture are both kinds of art too, in my opinion, and they have an effect on our lives. Even
people who are not interested in going to art galleries are still affected by these other kinds of art.
Posters and other forms of advertisements are all around us, especially in towns and cities, and we
cannot help seeing them. If they are successful advertisements, they make us want to buy certain
products. In addition, advertsoften make the streets more colourful and attractive. We can say that
different forms of art are all around us and have a big effect on our everyday life.
Give short answers to the following questions:
1- What kinds of art are mentioned in the passage?
2- Suggest a title for the passage.
3- How do successful advertisements affect us?

5) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Japanese cars, although small in size, are very popular in America because they are very
economical to maintain and fuel efficient. In general, American cars are neither economical to run nor
efficient with fuel. However, in comparison to other developed nations, gas in America is still
reasonably priced. Americans, therefore, tend to clock in more miles on their cars every year
because of the larger distances covered in getting from place to place. While Japan is well-connected
by its excellent railroad system, America prides herself on her vast network of parkways and superhighways which connect the small towns with the bigger cities. Perhaps no country in the world has
developed such as extensive highway system as the United States with many toll-free roads.

“come on let’s go.” I must admit I liked the idea. There weren’t many fish in that part of the

Robots are capable of performing various complex tasks. Some of them include

near future. At present, a group of engineers, scientists and psychologists from all over
Europe are starting a project to develop robots with personalities. The scientists believe that
as robots become more guaranteed and play a greater role in society, they will need to be
able to deal with humans. It is planned that robots will be able to help around the house, act
as companions, shop online and help the elderly people interact with everyday problems.
There is no aspect of life that robots will not affect. But in order to develop robots with
personalities, the scientists must try and copy the facial expressions and gestures which
allow humans to communicate and form relationships with one another. It is hoped that this
research will provide important information about relationships between humans and robots.

The advantages and disadvantages of the internet
The internet is a double – edged weapon. It has a lot of advantages and
disadvantages. Its advantages are various. It is an important source of information. It is
also a massive library that contains information about every thing you can imagine. The
internet is an important means of communication as well. Through it, you can make
audio and video calls, send e-mails and chat. It provides different forms of
entertainment. You can watch films and listen to music. On the other hand, the internet
has some disadvantages. It can be used in a bad way by some people to watch bad films
or spread false news. It is also impossible to control the sort of information your
children might get. It can mislead people and destroy their believes. Some young people
spend several hours on the internet, which affects their health, study and personality. To
sum up, the internet is a blessing if it is used well and it is a curse if it is used badly.

5-Read the following passage and answer the questions:
Today, many people use natural ways to cure illnesses that don’t cause side effects.
“Acupuncture” and “biofeedback” are two popular methods. Doctors have been using
acupuncture in China for over two thousand years. It involves pushing needles into the
skin at special points around the body. Ancient Chinese philosophers believed that they
were connected to different organs and could cure diseases.
Today, “acupuncture” is used in many countries, and studies show that it works
especially for headaches, backaches and smoking. Since the 1950s, doctors in China have
also been using acupuncture in major operations. Patients are awake and know what is
happening in the operation but they feel little or no pain. Scientists think that the needles
make the body produce a chemical called “endorphin” that helps to reduce the feeling of
pain.
Another natural way to cure illnesses is “biofeedback”. It uses technology to help people
control their internal organs. For example, if a person has problems with sleeping, he/she
is connected to a special computer that shows the activity of the brain. The person then is
asked to do some mental exercises to relax. When the brain activity falls and the person is
relaxed, the computer makes a noise. Slowly, the person learns what type of mental
exercises can help him/her to reduce the activity of the brain.
Answer the following questions:
1- Why do many people prefer acupuncture and biofeedback to cure diseases?
- Because they don’t cause side effects.
2- Why do doctors use acupuncture in operations?
- Because the needles make the body produce a chemical called “endorphin” that helps to
reduce the feeling of pain.
3- What does the underlined pronoun “they” refer to?
- It refers to ‘special points around the body’.
Choose the correct answer from a ,b, c or d:

Posters and other forms of advertisements are all around us, especially in towns and
cities, and we cannot help seeing them. If they are successful advertisements, they make
us want to buy certain products. In addition, adverts often make the streets more colourful

7-A-Answer the following questions:
1- What was Colonel Sapt's plan to get the ill king back to the palace?
As soon as they were alone in the King's bedroom after the coronation, Rassendyll and
Sapt would leave and go back to the hunting lodge on their horses. Sapt told Josef to get
the King ready for the journey back. The King would then return to the palace with Sapt
in the dark. Rassendyll would ride as fast as he could to the borders and leave the country
before it was light.
2- Why was Sapt so anxious about Rassendyll’s decision to ride alone through the old town?
- Because people there supported Michael. If Rassendyll had been killed there, Sapt’s
position would have been very difficult.
3- How did Rudolf Rassendyll escape when Michael's men were about to trap him?
He knocked one man off his horse, then another man with his sword . He was about to be
trapped but he saw a gap between the men , he turned his horse and left through the gap to

5. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Although hydroelectric power plants cause less pollution than other types of power plants, they cause
other environmental problems. Firstly, when a dam is built, a large area of land is flooded and often many
people are forced to leave their farms and homes. Secondly, the rotting plants in the flooded area make the
greenhouse gas methane, whose emissions can be very high. Thirdly, the dam prevents fish from
swimming upstream to get to the places where they reproduce, so fish populations are reduced. There are
other problems. The water exiting the turbines has a different oxygen level and is much warmer. This
harms the plants and animals living downstream from the dam. Finally, because the water exiting the
turbines has less sediment (sand and soil) in it, it wears away the river banks downstream. Scientists must
examine all the possible side effects of a new dam while it is in the planning stages.
a. Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Tell two ways that hydroelectric dams harm fish.
2. How is the water different after it goes through the turbines?

6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Prince Edwin was the oldest son of a wealthy king. He was riding in the forest one day when he met a poor
boy called Tim. Edwin and Tim looked alike, almost identical. They talked and played for several hours.
Then Prince Edwin persuaded Tim to change clothes with him. Tim pretended to be the prince and rode
back to the castle. Edwin went to Tim's house and learnt how difficult it was to be poor. The two boys had
many adventures because they did not know how to act like each other. After several weeks, the king died.
Tim sent a message to Edwin and told him to return quickly. Edwin reached the castle on the night before
the coronation. On that great occasion, he became king and he made Tim his chief adviser and asked him
to live in the castle with him.

5. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Flowers produce a fine powder called pollen, which is carried by the wind or by insects to other
flowers of the same type so that they can produce seeds. Pollination, the carrying of pollen from one
flower to another, is necessary for the reproduction of plants and for the production of food. Scientists
estimate that one third of our food depends on insects, mostly bees, for pollination.
But in recent years, there has been a big drop in the populations of pollinators worldwide. There are
several reasons. The use of pesticides has had the side effect of killing pollinators. Air pollution prevents
insects from smelling and finding flowers, which they need for food. Diseases are killing many insects.
Growing cities are destroying the environments where pollinators live. Recently, shortages of fruit and
vegetables in India were blamed on the loss of pollinators. Clearly, it is important that we find solutions
quickly.
a. Give short answers to the following questions:
1. What is a pollinator?

b) Insects can't smell the flowers to find them.
c) Insects can't pollinate the flowers because they can't see them.
d) Pollution kills insects.
6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Machu Picchu, Peru, is situated more than 2,100 metres above sea level between higher mountains. It is
divided into three areas. At the southern end is the agricultural area. This has large "steps" called terraces
cut into the hillsides to make flat spaces for farming. A wall for defence crosses Machu Picchu and
separates the agricultural area from the urban and religious areas at the northern end. The urban area has
two districts. In the southeastern corner is a district of houses for the nobles. On the eastern side is an
industrial district with houses and workshops for labourers. The religious area, on the western side, is on
the highest ground. It has temples and tombs. The 140 buildings of Machu Picchu included several design
features that made them survive Peru's frequent earthquakes.

5. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
A geyser is a special type of hot spring in which steam and hot water erupt and are thrown into the air.
Some geysers throw water up more than 45 metres. Some geysers erupt at regular intervals and are
predictable. One of the most famous, Old Faithful, erupts about every 90 minutes. But most geysers are
irregular and unpredictable.
Worldwide there are only about 1,000 geysers and half of them are in Yellowstone National Park, USA.
Geysers are a rare phenomenon because they form only under certain hydrogeological conditions. If
conditions change, geysers can become dormant or extinct. Natural phenomena such as prolonged
droughts, earthquakes, or landslides can make this happen. So can human activities such as mining,
building dams, throwing trash into the geyser vent, and dewatering by geothermal power plants. Even
without human activities, the lifespan of geysers is at most a few thousand years.
a. Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Are all hot springs geysers? Give a reason for your answer.
2. Can people prevent all geysers from becoming dormant or extinct? Give a reason for your answer.

I think that we should start a book club for secondary and university students in our town. We could read
both Arabic and English books. We could have meetings every week or two in the summer, and once a
month during the school year. Here is why I think we should do it. First, if we have a book club, it will
encourage us to read more. It is known that if people read a lot, they write better. So this will help us in two
ways. Secondly, we will develop some responsibility if we take turns leading the discussion at meetings.
The leader will have to read the book carefully. Thirdly, discussing books will help us to overcome any
shyness. Everyone will have to say something. Reading good books will be a better way to use our time
than playing games or reading comic books. Don't you agree with me?
a. Give short answers to the following questions:

5. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
One hundred years ago, diabetes always killed. A victim of diabetes would often have a damaged body
organ called the pancreas, but doctors didn’t understand why. In 1921, a young doctor called Frederick
Banting had a theory that the pancreas released a substance that controlled the sugar in the blood.
Professor John Macleod at the University of Toronto, Canada, gave him a laboratory, ten dogs, and a
medical student called Charles Best as a research assistant. Banting and Best showed that an extract from
the pancreas, which they named ‘insulin’, could control blood sugar in dogs. Biochemist Bertram Collip
joined them. He made the insulin pure so it could be tested on humans. The discovery of insulin was a
landmark. Diabetic patients no longer died from the disease. Banting and Macleod received the Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1923, but they shared their prize money with Best and Collip.
a. Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Before Banting’s discovery, what didn’t doctors understand about diabetes?

6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
We spend billions of dollars to study the sun and distant stars. We should stop this and study the
oceans instead. They cover nearly 70% of the earth. Oceanography is more important than space science.
It researches processes that directly affect our lives. For example, we release tonnes of waste into the
oceans every year. Oceanographers, who specialise in various fields, can tell us the results of pollution on
marine life, on the chemistry of the seas and on the currents (movement of water) that affect climate. We
know that in different parts of the seas, distinctive forms of life have evolved. There are even living things
that do not depend on the sun for energy! Maybe we can learn something useful by studying them. There
are vast areas of the oceans, especially in the deepest water, that are unexplored. This is where we should
be researching, not the stars.
a. Give short answers to the following questions:
1. What is the writer’s opinion of space science?
2. Why do you think oceanographers specialise?

The American Civil War began in 1861. Things were not well organised when the first soldiers
returned to Washington, DC, where Clara Barton was working. Many soldiers were wounded and
hungry, and many had lost their belongings. Barton collected supplies and took them to the
young men. Throughout the Civil War, she took clothing, food and supplies to soldiers. She also
read to them, wrote letters for them, and did other things to encourage them. President Lincoln
made her in charge of searching for missing prisoners of war.
After the war ended in 1865, Barton travelled in Europe, where she learned about the Red Cross
Movement. She was influential in getting the United States to sign a treaty (in 1882) to protect
people in wartime. In 1881, at the age of 60, she established the American Red Cross, which she
directed for 23 years.

6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Pearls are made by oysters, a kind of shellfish. Sometimes a tiny bit of a plant or animal gets trapped in
the soft body of the oyster. This bit irritates the oyster. Imagine how you would feel if you had something
caught in your muscle. The oyster produces a liquid substance called nacre around the foreign material to
protect its body. The oyster produces layers and layers of nacre, which harden to form a pearl. This is a
slow process that can take three years or more.
For thousands of years, divers searched for pearls. Today, most pearls come from cultured pearl farms.
Workers surgically place a bit of material inside the oysters. The oysters are raised in protected areas for
several years until they produce a pearl. Wild pearls are very rare and expensive. Cultured pearls are more
numerous, cheaper and just as beautiful as wild ones.
a. Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Why do oysters produce nacre?
2. How long does it take to make a pearl?
