Text 3 This text is for questions 25 to 27 The United States of America is where the Venuss fly trap has its origins. The venuss fly trap is a unique plant. It belong to agroup of plants called carnivorous plants. These plants feed on insects. The venuss fly trap has a special mechanism by which it traps its prey. This is how it works. At the end of each leaf which grows from the base of long, flowering stalk there is a trap. The trap is made up of two lobes and is covered with short, reddish hairs which are sensitive. There are teeth like structures around the edge of the lobes. The trap contains nectar which attract insects. When an insect comes in contact with the nectar, the trap snaps shut. There are certain digestive juices inside the trap which digest the insects. It takes about ten days for trapped insect to be digested. We can call when this digestion is complete, for the the walls automatically open to wait for another victim. There about two hundred species of carnivorous plants. Another kind of these well-known species is the pitcher plant. What differentiates this plant from the Venuss fly trap is the shape; the mechanism to catch insects is the same in both plants. The pitcher plants are climbing plants which cling to other plants by means of tendrils. At one end of the tendril, there is a pitcher shaped vessel with an open lid. The mouth and the lid of the pitcher contain glands which produce nectar to attract insects. When an insect settles on the nectar, the lid of the pitcher shuts, trapping its victim. The digestive juices inside the pitcher then begin to work. 25. What is the purpose of the text? a. To tell a dangerous plant b. To describe a kind of carnivorous plants c.

As they move forward, the higher air pressure underneath their wings pushes them upward and gives them lift. The smooth, streamlined shape of the plane allows air to flow easily over its surface. This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through the air.

Planes move forward using engines. This movement is called thrust. Moving forward keeps a stream of moving air passing over the wings, which allows the plane to stay up in the air. If the engines fail, the plane will begin to descend very quickly. The air above the wing moves faster so it is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing. The air under the wing moves more slowly and is slightly squashed so it is at a higher pressure than the air above the wing. 28. a Plane stays up in the air because.. a. the streamlined shape of the plane lets the air flow b. the air under the wing moves slowly c. there is a pressure under its wings d. it moves forward the sky e. it has a strong engine 29.

Eartquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and large meteorite impacts all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can range from unnoticeable to devastating. The term tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbour (tsu) and wave (nami). Altough in Japanese tsunami is used for both the singular and plural, in English tsunami is well established as the plural. The term was created by fishermen who returned to port to find the area surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open water. A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave heights) offshore, and avery long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometers long), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a passing hump in the ocean. Tsunami have been historically referred to as tidal waves because as they approach land they take on the characteristics of a violent onrushing tide rather than the sort of cresting waves that are formed by wind action upon the ocean (with which people

are more familiar). However, since they are not actually related to tides, the term is considered misleading and its usage is discouraged by oceanographers. 32.
