Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of 
the questions. 
 The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, 
 and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power 
 failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight. Cars hesitate in the streets because there are no 
 traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.
 Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. 
 Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering 
 more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit 
 humanity.
 All living cells sent out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of 
 recorded electricity; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the 
 heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an 
 electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small-of-ten so 
 small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells 
 have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When 
 large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.
 The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts 
 of electricity through the water in which it lives. (An electric house current is only one hundred twenty 
 volts.) As many as four fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating 
 electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.
 30.What is the main idea of the passage? 
 A. Electric eels are potentially dangerous 
 B. Biology and electricity appear to be closely related 
 C. People would be at a loss without electricity
 D. Scientists still have much to discover about electricity
 31.The author mentions all of the following as results of a blackout EXCEPT that ______.
 A. refrigerated food items may go bad
 B. traffic lights do not work C. people must rely on candlelight
 D. elevators and escalators do not function
 32.Why does the author mention electric eels?
 A. To warn the reader to stay away from them
 B. To compare their voltage to that used in houses
 C. To give an example of a living electrical generator
 D. To describe a new source of electrical power
 33.According to the passage,how many volts of electricity can an electric eel emit?
 A. 1,000 B. 800 C. 200 D. 120
 34.It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is the ______.
 A. more beneficial it will be to science
 B. more powerful will be its electrical charge
 C. easier it will be to find
 D. tougher it will be to eat
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of 
the questions. 
 Have you ever heard the sound of a hummingbird? They make a buzzing noise when they fly. They make 
 this noise because they beat their wings so fast. They beat their wings up to 80 times a second. All that 
 flapping makes a lot of noise. That’s why we call them hummingbirds.
 Hummingbirds fly in a unique way. They move their wings so fast that they can hover. This means that 
 they can stay in one spot in the middle of the air, like a helicopter. Sometimes they fly or hover upside 
 down. They are the only bird that flies backward.
 Hummingbirds are small. One type called the bee hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Bee 
 hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. They are just a little bit bigger than bees. I guess that’s where 
 they get their name.
 Bee hummingbirds build tiny nests. They use cobwebs and bits of bark to make their homes. Their homes 
 are only an inch around. This is big enough for their eggs though. Their eggs are smaller than peas. 
 People have found these tiny nests on a clothespin.
 Hummingbirds move fast. It takes lots of energy to move as fast as they do. This means that they need to 
 eat a lot of food. Their favorite food is nectar, a sweet liquid inside of some flowers. They drink more 
 than their own weight in nectar daily. They have to visit hundreds of flowers to get enough nectar to live. 
 They can only store enough energy to survive through the night. They live on the edge.
 Hummingbirds don’t use their long beaks like straws. They have a tongue just like you. They use their 
 tongues for eating. They flick their tongues in and out of their mouths while inside of flowers. They lap 
 up nectar. Flowers give them the energy that they need.
 Hummingbirds help flowers too. They get pollen on their heads and bills when they feed. Flowers use 
 pollen to make seeds. Hummingbirds help pollen get from one flower to the next. This helps flowers 
 make more seeds. More seeds means more flowers. More flowers means more food for hummingbirds. 
 Isn’t it nice how that works out?
