New Species Found in Papua Eden

An international team of scientists says it has found a “lost world” in the Indonesian jungle that is the home to dozens of new animals and plant species. “It’s as close to the Garden of Eden as you’re going to find on Earth,” said Bruce Beehler, co-leader of the group.

The group of Indonesian, American and Australian researchers trekked through an area in the mist -  shrouded Foja Mountainns of north-western Papua. After being dropped off by helicopter, the researchers spent nearly a month in the area, detailing the wildlife and plantlife from the lower hills to near the summit of the Foja range, which reaches more than 2,000m in elevation.

The team found four new species of butterflies, twenty new species of frogs, and a whole series of remarkable plants including five new palms and a giant rhododendron flower. The survey also found a honeyeater bird that was previously unknown to science and the first new bird species discovered on the island of New Guinea since 1939.They also found the breeding grounds of a “lost” bird of paradise. The six-wired bird of paradise was first seen in the late 19th century but hadn’t been found again since. The team also took the first photographs of the golden fronted bowerbird displaying its plunge. The team also recorded a golden mantled tree kangaroo, which was not known to be in this area and is near extinction in other areas. “It’s beautiful, untouched, unpopulated forest, there is no evidence of human impact or presence”said Dr. Beehler,.

                  Whales are the largest animal on earth. Bigger than elephants, they may grow 95 feet long, and weight 150 tons. A baby blue whale, just born, can be 23 feet long and weigh 3 tons.

                  Although whales live in the oceans and can swim like fish, they are not fish. They are mammals, like cows and elephant. Unlike fish, they bear young alive not as eggs. Their babies live on their mother’s milk. They breathe through their lungs and hold their breathe when they go under water. If they cannot come to the surface to breathe fresh air, they will be drown. They are warm blooded. Fish, however, lay eggs,breathe oxygen in the water and are cold blooded.

                 Whales live in all the oceans. In the winter some of them go to warm waters to breed and in the summer most of them go to cold waters to feed. There are two kinds of whales, whales with teeth (toothed whales) and whale without teeth (baleen whales). The toothed whales eat fish and squid, which they can catch with their teeth, although they swallow their food without chewing it. The Baleen whales eat plankton (small sea animals and plants). When they find plankton, they open their mouth and swim into the plankton. When they close their mouth, they squeeze out the water and swallow the plankton.

                  Whales have few enemies. Only human beings and the whale killers attack whales. And whales do not seem to fight among themselves. They usually live from 20 to 30 years.

26. A suitable title for the text above is ….

     a. Large animal on earth

     b. Difference between whales and elephants

     c. Whales, the biggest animal on the earth

     d. Similarity between fish and whales

     e. The life of whales in the oceans

27. Which of the following is TRUE about whales?

     a. Whales are generally 95 feet long and weigh 150 kilos

     b. Big animals living in the ocean tend to be their enemies 

     c. Like fish, whales can live in all kinds of waters

     d. Their life span is usually longer than human beings.

     e. A new baby whale may weigh one fiftieth of its mother

28. The difference between whales and fish is that whales …..

    a. do not have to come to the surface to get fresh air

    b. deliver their young like elephants do

    c. will die if they can not get any oxygen in the water

    d. are mammals that are cold-blooded

    e. can easily breathe when they are under water

29. Whales occasionally live in warm waters ….

     a. to get more food

     b. for reproduction

     c. to avoid winter

Text 4       

         There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying energy by nuclear power.

         The radioactive material  must travel from its place of manufacture to the power station. Although the power station themselves are solidly built, the container used the transport of the materials are not. There are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road and rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with the general public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even though, heavily populated areas.

         Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power station produce waste that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily crack the containers open.

        Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards, this is not very likely, so that it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can happen.

       Separately, these three types of risks are not great cause  for concern. On the whole through, the probability of disaster is still high.

31. The whole text tells us about ….

      a. The danger of transporting radioactive materials

      b. The way to make radioactive wastes not dangerous for people

      c. The potentials dangers in supplying energy by nuclear power

      d. The accident caused by nuclear power station. 

      e. People’s objections to the establishment of nuclear power station

32. What makes the transport of radioactive materials dangerous for people’s lives?

       a. The road

       b. The container

       c. The rail  

       d. The power station

       e. The heavily populated areas

33. Which of the following statement is TRUE about radioactive wastes?

       a. There will be no more danger when radioactive waste are buried underground

       b. There is no chance of saving people’s lives from radioactive wastes

       c. Radioactive wastes become non radioactive when they are sunk in the sea.

       d. Only earthquakes can change radioactive wastes into non radioactive wastes

       e. Natural disaster may cause very serious leaks in buried containers of radioactive wastes

34. In spite of  the problem which are likely to occur in supplying energy by nuclear power, the 

      Writer thinks that ….

a. people will strongly object to it

b. the probability of disaster is high

c. hazard should be rigidly controlled 

d. it’s worth conducting nuclear programs

e. there is a great cause for concern

35. We may conclude from the third paragraph that the problem of accidental exposure is caused    

         by…..

       a. human error

       b. an earthquake

       c. radioactive waste

       d. hazards

       e. bad design of the nuclear station

  Why Is the World’s Population So Unevenly Distributed ?

Population distribution refers to the way in which people are spread out over a land area. The world’s population is not evenly spread out. Why do you think this is so? There are two main factors that influence population distribution; a) the physical condition of the place and b) the level of technology of the people. This refers to knowledge, skills and tools that the people have.

People tend to settle in areas where the soil is fertile and the climate is not too harsh. That  is why river deltas, such as Nile Delta in Egypt, are densely populated. There are fewer people living in hilly areas with harsh climate because the extreme physical conditions make living and farming very difficult.

However, it is not impossible for people to survive under unfavorable living conditions. With improvements in technology, places which were previously thought to be unsuitable for people can become suitable. For example, an area with dry and hot area, such as Arizona, can be made more comfortable by having buildings fitted with air-conditioners. Farming may be difficult in a place without fertile land and adequate rainfall, but if the people earn their living by other means and not agriculture, the place will still be populated.

   SHOULD EXAMINATIONS BE ABOLISHED?

Many people say that examinations should be abolished because they are not the best measure of students’ capabilities. These people believe that students can study on their own and do better without the nagging worry and pressure exerted by examinations.

Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that examinations should not be abolished. It is insufficient that teachers assign homework and correct it. Because this is not done under supervision, they can not be sure that it is really the work of the students themselves. Moreover, homework  is not a test of student’s ability; homework is more a method of merely keeping him occupied. 

Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students need to produce some evidence of their capabilities. Prospective employers like to see copies of examination results; this is the only way a student’s qualifications can be judged. This attitude greatly encourages the use of examinations, if not making them a necessity.
