Part One ((Reading Comprehension))

Read the following text then answer the questions
Mark Stubbs and his team wanted to be the fastest to row across the
Atlantic from Canada to Britain. By 6:00 pm on 8th August 2004, after
40 days and 3,000 kilometres, they had nearly done it: their GPS showed
they were just 450 kilometres from land. But that night, there was a
terrible storm and at 2:30 am, a huge wave destroyed their boat and threw
them into the sea.
Luckily, they managed to save a small life raft, a satellite phone and their
GPS. They climbed into the raft and they used the GPS to find their
position. Then they called for help. With the GPS information, a ship
found them at 6:30 am. Soon, the men were climbing the side to safety.
GPS technology had saved their lives. GPS uses a network of satellites.
These orbit Earth at 19,300 kph and the GPS equipment on the ground
can always ‘see’ three or more. It measures its distance from each and
from this works out its exact position

new wheel, but everything else was fine. When Joe asked, Mr Wilson said, ‘Take it. If you can
repair or recycle it, I’ll be happy.
Joe then found a similar old bike on the internet – for free. Several parts were missing, but the
frame and wheels were good. So that weekend, he was able to build his new bike – and he did not
have to pay anything for it! Since then, he has constructed similar cheap bikes for several friends.

Read the following passage then answer the questions that follow:
Today, I have an appointment with Dr Adnan Maqdisi, Director of the Jericho Farm
Research Centre. I’m going to interview him about their work.I drive past fields of fruit and
vegetables to reach the Centre. There, Dr Maqdisi welcomes me and immediately says,
‘First, I’m going to show you round. Let’s go.’ I can see this is going to be a busy day. Soon,
we’re in a large science lab and I see scientists in white coats hard at work. Then, we pass
through a warehouse and I notice various farm products – onions, tomatoes, bananas, figs,
lemons, oranges, beans and carrots. Next, we visit the fields. ‘Let’s stop and I’ll show you
something,’ he suddenly says. ‘We’re experimenting with different kinds of tomato here.
We’re developing new kinds that will grow well in hot, dry conditions. When we pick them,
we’re going to test them in different ways. We’re going to weigh them and check for quality
and also for diseases. ’Later, in his office, I ask Dr Maqdisi why they are doing all this. He
points to a human population chart on the wall. ‘Look,’ he says, ‘in 1900, there were 1.5 billion
people, but then the world went mad. Now there are over seven billion and by 2050 we
predict that there’ll be over nine – nine billion mouths to feed every day. ’And,’ he goes on,
‘Earth’s climate is changing. We’re certain now that many regions will become too dry for
traditional crops. We’ll have to produce more food with less good farmland. ’Now I
understand. ‘So you’re developing new crops to help farmers produce in harder conditions –
and produce more. Are you succeeding?’‘Yes,’ Dr Maqdisi says, ‘we’re having some important
successes. If you like, I’ll take you for lunch in our canteen and you can taste a few.

 10th Grade Midterm Exam 2015

1. Read the following passage then answer the questions.

Today, I have an appointment with Dr Adnan Maqdisi, Director of the Jericho Farm
Research Centre. I’m going to interview him about their work.
I drive past fields of fruit and vegetables to reach the Centre. There, Dr Maqdisi welcomes
me and immediately says, ‘First, I’m going to show you round. Let’s go.’ I can see this is
going to be a busy day.
Soon, we’re in a large science lab and I see scientists in white coats hard at work. Then, we
pass through a warehouse and I notice various farm products – onions, tomatoes, bananas,
figs, lemons, oranges, beans and carrots. Next, we visit the fields. ‘Let’s stop and I’ll show
you something,’ he suddenly says. ‘We’re experimenting with different kinds of
tomato here. We’re developing new kinds that will grow well in hot, dry conditions. When
we pick them, we’re going to test them in different ways. We’re going to weigh them and
check for quality and also for diseases.
Later, in his office, I ask Dr Maqdisi why they are doing all this. He points to a human
population chart on the wall. ‘Look,’ he says, ‘in 1900, there were 1.5 billion people, but
then the world went mad. Now there are over seven billion and by 2050 we predict that
there’ll be over nine billion mouths to feed every day.’
‘And,’ he goes on, ‘Earth’s climate is changing. We’re certain now that many regions will
become too dry for traditional crops. We’ll have to produce more food with less good
farmland.’ Now I understand. ‘So you’re developing new crops to help farmers produce in
harder conditions – and produce more. Are you succeeding?’ ‘Yes,’ Dr Maqdisi says, ‘we’re
having some important successes. If you like, I’ll take you for lunch in our canteen and you
can taste a few!’

A. Answer these questions

1. Who did the interviewer have an appointment with?
2. Where does she see the scientists?

 10th Grade Midterm 2015
Question One Comprehension:-
Mark Stubbs and his team wanted to be the fastest to row across the Atlantic from
Canada to Britain. By 6:00 pm on 8th August 2004, after 40 days and 3,000 kilometres, they had
nearly done it: their GPS showed they were just 450 kilometres from land.
But that night, there was a terrible storm and at 2:30 am, a huge wave destroyed their boat and threw
them into the sea.
Luckily, they managed to save a small life raft, a satellite phone and their GPS. They climbed into
the raft and they used the GPS to find their position. Then they called for help. With the GPS
information, a ship found them at 6:30 am. Soon, the men were climbing the side to safety. GPS
technology had saved their lives.
GPS uses a network of satellites. These orbit Earth at 19,300 kph and the GPS equipment on the
ground can always ‘see’ three or more.It measures its distance from each and from this works out its
exact position.
The system is quite simple. Imagine you are lost. You ask someone your position and this person
says, ‘You’re 250 kilometres from Damascus.
This alone is not very useful. But then imagine that someone else says, ‘You’re 375 kilometres from
Cairo.’ You now know that you are at one of two points.
Finally, someone else says, ‘You’re 220 kilometres from Aqaba.’ Well, now you know exactly: you
are in Hebron.
Car satnavs have become a very popular use of GPS in recent years. A satnav shows the car’s
position on a map.
GPS saves time, has saved many lives and, at around $200, is also not so expensive for many. This
is modern technology at its best!
A. Answer the following questions:
1. Why does GPS equipment need to 'see' at least three satellites in order to work?
2. What three things saved their lives and how did each one help?
3. What does a satnav show a car driver?
4. What did the people in the boat aim to do?
B. Say what the underlined words and phrases mean:
1- At its best………………………………………………
2- GPS……………………………………………………
3- Satnav………………………………………………..
C. From the text, find the meaning of
a. Calculate an amount, distance ………………………………..
b. Liked by a lot of people……………………………………….
D. From the text, find the opposite of
a. danger……………………….
b. ancient………………………
E. Complete:

1. Read the text then answer the questions below. (6 marks)

Mark Stubbs and his team wanted to be the fastest to row across the Atlantic from
Canada to Britain. By 6:00 pm on 8th August 2004, after 40 days and 3,000 kilometers, they had nearly
done it: their GPS showed they were just 450 kilometers from land. But that night, there was a terrible
storm and at 2:30 am, a huge wave destroyed their boat and threw them into the sea.
Luckily, they managed to save a small life raft, a satellite phone and their GPS. They climbed into the raft
and they used the GPS to find their position. Then they called for help. With the GPS information, a ship
found them at 6:30 am. Soon, the men were climbing the side to safety. GPS technology had saved their
lives.

Mark Stubbs and his team wanted to be the fastest to row across the Atlantic from
Canada to Britain. By 6:00 pm on 8th August 2004, after 40 days and 3,000 kilometres,
they had nearly done it: their GPS showed they were just 450 kilometres from land.

help.
With the GPS information, a ship found them at 6:30 am. Soon, the men were
climbing the side to safety. GPS technology had saved their lives.
GPS uses a network of satellites. These orbit Earth at 19,300 kph and the GPS
equipment on the ground can always ‘see’ three or more. It measures its distance from
each and from this works out its exact position.
