    Question

    I

    Read the

    following

    text

    and complete

    the

    given task.

    (Adapted

    from Young

    Oxford

    Encyclopedia)

    Titan,

    Saturn s

    largest

    and most exotic

    moon,

    has

    planetary

    scientists so

    excited as it

    possesses

    certain

    Earthlike

    features.

    Over the

    past

    few

    years,

    a

    pair

    of

    probes

    -

    Cassini,

    which has

    orbited

    Saturn since

    2004,

    and Huygens, which

    plummeted

    onto Titan s

    surface in 2005

    -

    have discovered features

    that

    are

    reminiscent

    of Earth.

    Like

    Earth, Titan

    has mountains,

    volcanoes,

    dunes, riverbeds and

    rainstorms.

    To

    cap it

    all, scientists announced that

    Cassini s

    powerful

    imaging

    radar had

    uncovered a

    system

    of

    more

    than

    75 lakes dotting the

    north

    polar

    region.

    However, Titan has

    a surface temperature

    that

    hovers

    around

    minus 290

    degrees

    Fahrenheit.

    Hence,

    allthose

    familiar-looking features

    are constructed

    from decidedly

    unfamiliar materials. The mountains

    are

    made

    primarily

    of rock-hard water

    ice;

    the dunes

    are

    ice

    granules

    coated with hydrocarbons:

    volcanoes

    probably

    belch

    methane

    and ammonia,

    and the lakes are

    filled

    with methane.

    Scientists

    require

    more time to study

    Titan

    before they can make sense

    of

    the satellite that

    is

    so tantalisingly Earthlike.

    Question

    2

    Read

    the

    following

    text and complete

    the

    given

    task.

    Probably the most numerous organisms, and the first life-forms to evolve

    on

    earth,

    are

    the organisms

    of

    the moneran

    kingdom. All monerans

    are

    bacteria.

    There are three main

    types: cyanobacteria,

    true bacteria and archaeobacteria.

    Monerans are

    also called

    prokaryotes

    because of their simple

    cell

    structure.

    Monerans

    are

    among

    the most

    important

    organisms

    on earth. Many

    monerans

    help break

    down dead organisms and waste matter. In this

    way,

    they

    recycle

    chemicals

    and

    make

    them

    available

    to the other

    organisms.

    For

    example, true bacteria living in the soil rapidly

    turn

    dead

    organisms

    into valuable nutrients,

    such

    as

    nitrogen,

    in

    the soil.

    Bacteria themselves are

    a

    valuable

    food

    source for many

    other

    organisms. Monerans

    also

    add

    and

    remove important

    gases

    to and

    from

    the

    air.

    Monerans are

    so numerous because different forms

    can

    withstand

    a

    wide

    range

    of

    environmental

    conditions.

    On

    the bottom

    of the

    deepest oceans,

    monerans

    withstand

    intense

    pressures.

    Others

    can survive the

    near-boiling

    temperatures of

    sulfur-filled

    pools

    on land.

    With

    their

    small size and

    simple

    cell

    structures, monerans

    can multiply very

    rapidly.

    Some true

    bacteria can divide

    once every 20 minutes.
