You do not need to look back twenty years to realize the tremendous developments in
science and technology; and how these advances are changing the life style of millions of
people all over the world. Although the television and video were there in those days, no one
had heard then of those wonderful remote-control units that turn the equipment on and off
helping us to choose our entertainment with the least physical effort.
There are many other effects of technology that made our life more comfortable. You no
longer worry about washing the dishes; your dishwashing machine can take care of that. If you
want a hot meal, you just pop your favourite food into the microwave oven and it is ready in

minutes. If you want to send an urgent message, just write it down and send, it through your
fax machine and it arrives on the other side of the world in seconds. Passenger planes fly non-
stop to different parts of the world and their pilots can find time to relax as the computers do
most of the hard work for them. This gives people more time to enjoy themselves and it
explains the remarkable current progress in the leisure industry.
Leisure today is a big business. Just read the advertisement in the newspaper. You just will
not believe the variety; you will find something to fit all incomes and tastes. As robots take over
the work of people in industry, as communications across the world become faster, and while
technology continues to create ways of persuading us to work less and enjoy ourselves more,
so the leisure industry will play a far more important role in the lives of us all.

(8 marks : One mark each)
With the birth of the big cities and their exploding population has become the problem
of getting rid of their wastes. Many people believe that these cities will eventually bury
themselves in their own rubbish unless something is done, and done quickly. They support
their argument by stating that in 1985 Mexico City produced 6,000 more tons of rubbish
than could be collected.
The worries about land pollution, shortage of natural resources (especially wood and oil),
increasing costs of raw materials and growing unemployment all point to one solution:
recycling. Recyclable waste falls into seven basic groups: paper, glass, plastics, metals, rags,
bones and organic matter. The first five groups can be recycled to produce similar products a
second time. Organic matter can be used to feed animals or used as fertilizer. Bones produce
fat, gelatin and calcium which can be used in animal feed or to make filters.
Among the many advantages of recycling are: saving valuable natural resources,
preventing land pollution, saving manufacturers' money, creating a lot of jobs (to recycle
the waste of Cairo would need 17,000 - 20,000 collectors, 6,000 sorters plus transporters,

Aspire (3rd year sec.) ‫تجريبي الوزارة‬ 7

processors ...etc.), creating new small businesses which can supply many of the major
industries and generating money (e.g. in Cairo, if all the rubbish that could be recycled
was recycled, it would generate $ 73, 467 a day).
For recycling to be a success, it needs the support of the government in supplying areas
for dumping, sorting and recycling, and to launch a campaign to persuade the public to
co-operate. It needs experts to find suitable people or companies to recycle each material.
All the way along the line, from the collector to the seller of the recycled product, there
has to be an acceptable income. In this way, meeting this demand is easier in the
developing world, where people are on lower incomes, than in developed countries where
expectations of reward are higher.
Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
12. Why has recycling become a necessity?
a) It helps reduce land pollution.
b) It addresses the shortage of natural resources.
c) It mitigates the increasing costs of raw materials.
d) All of the above.
13. How does recycling help save valuable natural resources?
a) By increasing waste production b) By reducing the need for new materials
c) By promoting deforestation d) By encouraging resource depletion
14. In what way does recycling save manufacturers' money?
a) By increasing production costs b) By providing cheaper raw materials
c) By requiring more energy consumption d) By decreasing efficiency
15. How does recycling contribute to job creation?
a) By eliminating job opportunities
b) By creating new jobs in recycling industries
c) By outsourcing jobs to other countries
d) By reducing workforce needs
16. What does "it" refer to in the text?
a) All the rubbish that could be recycled b) The process of recycling
c) The recycling industry d) Waste management
17. What does "this demand" refer to in the text?
a) A need for more recycling facilities b) An acceptable income
c) Increased public awareness d) Government regulations
18. According to the text which of the following is not a product of recycling?
a) calcium b) oil c) fertilizer d) paper
19. Which of the following statement (statements) is NOT true?
a) Recycling costs much and could only be afforded in developed countries.
b) People in the developing countries need acceptable incomes to share in recycling work.
c) In developed countries, people are less likely to accept recycling work.
d) Recycling jobs provide low incomes that are more acceptable in the developing countries

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines
that are programmed to think and learn like humans. Over the past few decades, AI has
seen rapid development and has become an integral part of various industries, such as
healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment.
AI systems are capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence,
such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation.
One of the most well-known applications of AI is in virtual assistants, like Siri and Alexa,
which can perform a wide range of tasks based on voice commands.
In healthcare, AI is being used to improve diagnostics and treatment plans by
analyzing large amounts of medical data. For instance, AI algorithms can help detect
diseases like cancer at an early stage by examining medical images. In finance, AI is used
for fraud detection, algorithmic trading, and personalized financial advice.

(8 marks : One mark each)
We should be proud of all our Egyptian celebrities in all times. We had many great men in the
19th century who did many wonderful patriotic actions. Mustafa Kamel, an Egyptian nationalist
leader, was born in 1874. Witnessing Egypt's struggle under British control, Kamel's spirit of
patriotism ignited. He, along with other students, formed a secret society advocating for Egypt's
independence. Their actions led to their expulsion from Egypt, forcing Kamel to complete his
education in France.
While abroad, Kamel immersed himself in European political ideas, particularly those
emphasizing national identity and self-determination. He actively participated in Egyptian
student communities, keeping the fight for his homeland alive. Kamel's fiery speeches and
passionate articles resonated deeply with the Egyptian people. He challenged the legitimacy of
British rule, highlighting its detrimental impact on Egypt's economy and social fabric. He
emphasized the importance of education and self-reliance, urging Egyptians to strive for a
future free from foreign domination.

Despite facing threats and imprisonment by the British authorities, Mustafa Kamel remained
undeterred. He continued to mobilize the masses, organizing peaceful protests and advocating
for a boycott of British goods. His unwavering determination and eloquent articulation of
Egypt's aspirations earned him the title, "The Voice of the Nation."
Mustafa Kamel's hard efforts, though tragically cut short by illness in 1908, significantly
contributed to the rise of Egyptian nationalism. He laid the groundwork for future generations
who ultimately achieved Egypt's independence in 1952.
After Mustafa Kamel's death in 1908, leadership of the Egyptian nationalist movement fell to
Mohamed Farid. Farid, a wealthy aristocrat, continued advocating for Egyptian independence
from British rule, taking control of the newly formed National Party founded by Kamel. His
influence helped keep the fight for Egyptian self-determination alive.
12. The main idea of the passage is that ………… .
a) the British ruled Egypt for many years
b) Mustafa Kamel made great efforts for the independence of Egypt
c) Mustafa Kamel was impressed by some British writers

(8 marks : One mark each)
Our body has many organs which do their functions properly. Each one has a specific job to do
to survive. For example your heart, a tireless pump working faithfully day and night, is vital to
your very existence. But, what happens when this vital organ is starved of the oxygen it needs?
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to a part of the
heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off completely. This disrupts the heart's ability to pump
blood effectively, threatening your health and even your life.
The culprit behind most heart attacks is atherosclerosis, a gradual narrowing of the coronary
arteries. These arteries supply blood rich in oxygen to the heart muscle. Over time, fatty
deposits called plaque buildup on the artery walls, restrict blood flow. A piece of plaque may
rupture, triggering the formation of a blood clot that can completely block the artery. This
blockage starves the heart muscle of oxygen, leading to cell death and a heart attack.
Symptoms of a heart attack can vary from person to person. The classic image of someone
clutching their chest in pain is common, but discomfort can also manifest as pain in the arm,
shoulder, jaw, back, or even nausea and lightheadedness. Recognizing these diverse
symptoms and seeking immediate medical attention is crucial. Early intervention can minimize
heart damage and improve your chances of a full recovery.
Thankfully, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of a heart attack. Maintaining a
healthy lifestyle is key. This includes eating a balanced diet low in saturated fats, exercising
regularly, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, controlling
conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol can significantly decrease your risk.
By understanding the causes and symptoms of heart attacks, and by prioritizing a heart-
healthy lifestyle, you can empower yourself to take charge of your cardiovascular health.
20. This passage mainly deals with ………….. .
a) the side effects of the heart attacks and how to deal with them
b) how to keep healthy with healthy heart
c) doing sports is a main reason to have a healthy heart

(8 marks : One mark each)
In recent years, minority-owned businesses in the U.S. have faced both unprecedented
opportunities and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that minority
groups, such as Blacks and Hispanics, struggle to succeed in business due to lack of access to
substantial orders from large companies. In response, Congress passed laws requiring federal
contractors to make efforts to engage minority subcontractors. Many government agencies
have set goals to allocate public works contracts to minority businesses. Corporate response
has been positive, with contracts for minority businesses increasing from $77 million in 1972
to $1.1 billion in 1977, and projections for the early 1980s estimating over $53 billion annually.
However, this growth brings risks for minority businesses. Many are small, requiring
large investments in equipment, plants, and staff to handle subcontracted work. If their
contracts are reduced, they may face financial difficulties due to fixed expenses. The corporate
world can be frustrating for small businesses, with complex bidding processes that consume
time and resources.
Additionally, white-owned companies may attempt to exploit the opportunity by forming
partnerships with minority firms, sometimes setting up minority businesses as "fronts"

corporate customer, which limits their ability to expand and make their business sustainable.

b) The risks and opportunities for minority-owned businesses in securing federal contracts.
c) The success of white-owned businesses in gaining government contracts.
d) The importance of small businesses in the U.S. economy.
13. Which of the following describes a risk faced by minority businesses as they expand?
a) Increased competition from large businesses.
b) Difficulty in meeting federal contract goals.
c) Financial overextension and fixed expenses from growing too quickly.
d) Lack of interest from potential partners such as large companies.
14. Which of the following strategies do large companies use to support minority businesses?
a) Making exclusive deals with minority businesses.
b) Creating partnerships with minority enterprises.
c) Offering discounts on their products.
d) Reducing federal contract requirements.
15. According to the text, how did corporate contracts with minority businesses change
between 1972 and 1977?
a) They decreased significantly.
b) They remained the same.
c) They increased from $77 million to $1.1 billion.

My father was a printer, but he was deaf. Though he could not hear, he felt through the soles of
his shoes the pounding and rumbling of the giant printing presses that daily spat out the
newspaper he helped create.
As a boy, my father learned how to speak with his hands. As a man, he learned how to turn
lead-type letters into words and sentences. Sometimes my father felt sad as most of the
workers who could hear were unkind. But my father did not lack friends. There were other
printers at the plant who were deaf. They had also learned to talk with their hands.
One day, while the giant presses ran, my father spotted a fire flickering in a far corner of the
pressroom. The fire was spreading quickly, silently. Suddenly, the wood floor burst into flames.
My father knew he had to tell everyone. He couldn't speak to shout a warning. But he could
speak with his hands. He did not hesitate. He jumped onto an ink drum and waved his arms
excitedly until; he caught the attention of a fellow printer who also couldn't hear a sound. My
father's hands shouted through the terrible noise of the printing presses, FIRE! FIRE!
TELL THE HEARING ONES!
His friend climbed onto a huge roll of newsprint. His fingers screamed to the other deaf
workers, who ran to fellow workers who could hear. They pointed to the fire, which had

Nowadays, we use so many machines that life is unimaginable without them. Because of
machines, we can travel farther and faster. We can access and process greater quantities of
information at ever-increasing speeds. We can perform dangerous and complicated tasks more
safely, efficiently, and precisely. In our homes, schools, hospitals, factories, stores, and offices,
there are machines from the simplest gadgets to the most sophisticated electronic systems. In
fact, we would have to travel very far indeed to find a place on this earth where we wouldn’t
encounter a machine of some kind.
The invention of machines and their widespread adoption have transformed human
society. Beginning with the steam engine in 1705, the Industrial Revolution brought about
massive economic and social changes that continued into the twentieth century. With the
train and automobile came increasing urbanization and mobility, and the telegraph—and
later the telephone, radio, and television—enabled people to communicate over long
distances.

Technological progress that had been thousands of years in the making accelerated rapidly
with the advent of the electronic computer in 1941.
Eight years later, the stored-program computer vastly improved programming procedures. As
computer science took off in universities, far-fetched ideas that had once belonged to the realm
of science fiction became realities. One such idea was to build mechanical creatures that could
think and act independently.
The idea of mechanical men has fascinated thinkers and inventors for centuries. Elaborate
mechanical toys and sophisticated creatures, such as a mechanical body that could write and
draw, were constructed in France in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but such
inventions, as amazing as they were, ended up in various museums as objects of curiosity.

mischievous glint in his eye.

himself. “Keep practicing,” he said. “I’ll be right back.” Sam dashed off, rounding up a few

Read the passage then choose the correct words from a, b, c or d:
The rainforest is often called the 'lungs of the Earth' because it plays an important role in
producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide. This vast ecosystem is home to millions of
species, from vibrant macaws to elusive tigers, making it one of the most biodiverse regions in
the world. Beyond its wildlife, the rainforest sustains countless indigenous communities who
depend on it for food, medicine, and cultural practices. These communities have lived in
harmony with nature for centuries, preserving the delicate balance of their environment.
Unfortunately, deforestation is threatening this balance. Large areas of rainforest are cleared
every year, primarily for agriculture, logging, and urban development. This not only endangers
wildlife but also contributes to global warming by releasing stored carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere. The Amazon rainforest, the largest in the world, spans nine countries and is
crucial in regulating global weather patterns. It also houses countless plant species with
potential medicinal properties, many of which remain unstudied.

One major event in the Amazon’s recent history was the devastating fires of 2019, largely
caused by human activities such as slash-and-burn agriculture. These fires destroyed vast
areas of forest, displacing wildlife and original populations. The event sparked global debates
about who is responsible for protecting the rainforest. While some argue that economic
activities like cattle farming and soybean production are essential for global markets, others
warn of the irreversible consequences of biodiversity loss and climate change. The future of
the rainforest depends on striking a balance between progress and preservation. Can humanity
find sustainable solutions that protect this invaluable ecosystem, or will short-term economic
gains outweigh long-term survival?
12. The main function of the rainforest as described in the passage is to ………… .
a) provide a habitat for jaguars
b) regulate global oxygen and carbon dioxide levels
c) encourage urban development
d) supply resources for agriculture
13. What are the primary causes of deforestation mentioned in the passage?
a) Global warming and natural disasters
b) Urban development, agriculture, and logging
c) Tourism and slash-and-burn farming
d) Increased biodiversity and population growth
14. Which one of the following sentences can summarize the challenges faced by the
Amazon?
a) Economic activities and environmental concerns are in constant conflict over its future

Read the passage then choose the correct words from a,b,c or d:
Keep your watch accurate. For some people, moving up the time on their watch will help them
get up earlier. For others, they will remember that the time on the watch is wrong and will
disregard it altogether. It may be helpful to set your watch just two minutes ahead instead of
five or ten.
Keep a clock, phone, computer or anything that displays time in each room of your house. One
of the easiest ways to run late is simply by not realizing that the time is
passing as quickly as it is.
Set all your clocks and watches to the same time. Don’t be an optimist. Things usually take
longer than what you’d expect, even without major delays. If you have a dinner appointment at
7:30 p.m., don’t think you can work till 7 p.m., then take a bath, dress and reach on time.
Realistically, calculate the time you will take at each step and then add 10 minutes more to
allow for unexpected delays, or you cannot get to your job done in time.
Wake up when you are supposed to wake up. Don’t hit the snooze button, keep on lying in
bed, and watch TV at the very start of your day. Maybe you can try even setting your clock 10
minutes earlier than you need. If you have difficulty with this, move your alarm clock to
somewhere away from your bed; that way, you will have to get up to turn it off. Commit yourself
to being 15 minutes early for everything.
20. What is the primary advice the passage gives about managing time effectively?
a) Work until the last minute before leaving for an appointment
b) Use a single clock to avoid confusion
c) Set clocks ahead and allow extra time for delays
d) Avoid using alarm clocks in the morning
21. How does the advice of setting clocks slightly ahead compare to using multiple clocks in
different rooms?
a) Both help create urgency but serve different purposes
b) Setting clocks ahead is about reminders, while multiple clocks are unnecessary
c) Both methods ensure appointments are never missed
d) Multiple clocks eliminate the need for alarms
22. Which statement best summarizes the overall message of the passage?
a) Keeping accurate time is important for maintaining punctuality and avoiding delays
b) Setting multiple clocks is the only way to manage time effectively

b) They are likely to underestimate the time needed and run late
c) They will wake up earlier
d) They will become more punctual
25. How does setting a clock ahead differ from moving an alarm clock away from the bed?
