of the city at the moment and I travel to work by bus. By the end of next year, they will have

new hotel in Cairo and tomorrow I'm going to a meeting in Damietta. I think I'll have to get
up very early because the train leaves at 5 a.m.! me job is very tiring and I don't have a
routine yet, but I'm enjoying it. I have already written a lot of articles. You can read them
online. I've met some famous people, too.
There is a photo of me interviewing a politician in the attachment to this email. He
works for the Ministry of Antiquities, so he knows all about ancient Egypt. I haven't met any
sports people yet, but there is an important tennis competition next month. There are some
famous tennis players going there and I'm sure I'll interview one.
Write soon.

B) Reading Comprehension
2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions :
The Chinese invented paper, and they were also the first to use paper bank notes for
money. Before paper notes were invented in the seventh century, wealthy Chinese traders
had used metal coins. These had a hole in the middle so that traders could carry them on
pieces of material. But these were very heavy to carry. As a result, traders left the money
with someone they trusted. Instead, they carried a piece of paper which said how much
money they had. The trader could use this paper note to promise anyone that they could
pay for the goods that they wanted to buy.
People in Europe only started to use paper bank notes in the seventeenth century. In
England, the King needed money to help fight a war with France. Banks encouraged people
to leave money with them and gave handwritten notes saying how much money they had
left. The notes said, "I promise to pay the bearer the sum of ..." and you can still see the
same words on English notes today. Bank workers continued to hand write notes until
1853, when the first notes were printed.
The paper used for bank notes is usually made from a mixture of paper and cotton, and
sometimes other materials. Although these other materials make the notes stronger than
normal paper, most bank notes only last for about two years. For this reason, some
countries tried using plastic notes in 1983. However, the first plastic notes in England were
not very successful because the ink came off the notes onto people's hands! Five years
later, in 1988, Australia successfully used plastic notes for the first time. Today, many
countries use plastic notes, which are stronger than paper notes, last longer and are harder
to copy.
A) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
1- Why did Chinese traders first use notes instead of coins?
a) Because the coins were too heavy to carry. b) Because coins had holes in them.
c) Because traders could not trust everyone. d) Because they preferred paper.
2. Why did banks in England first want people to leave their money with them?
a) The King needed money to fight a war. b) People preferred notes to coins
c) People wanted their money to be safe. d) Banks opened for the first time.
3- Why were notes handwritten until 1853?
a) It was cheaper this way. b) It was faster this way.
c) There was not any technology to print them before this time
d) It was hard to copy the handwriting.
4- What is the main idea of the text?
a) Why we use money. b) Why we use banks.
c) The history of paper bank notes. d) The history of trade.
5- What does the underlined word them refer to?
a) the King's men b) the men in France
c) the people who had the money d) the banks
6- What does the word bearer mean?
a) someone who works in a bank b) a Chinese trader

Heba had worked in nursing for many years. She was in charge of four other nurses
and she was respected by each member of staff at the hospital. It was difficult and

However, she always felt happy when people recovered and finally went home again. She

She worked such long hours that it was sometimes difficult to be sociable after work.
She usually went home and watched a film on television with her family. She found this
a good way to unwind.

2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
In my project, I have to write about three powerful women in history. It is not easy to
decide who to write about because there have been many important women! However, I'm
going to start with Hatshepsut, who was ruler of ancient Egypt for longer than any other
woman. She was the daughter of Thutmose I. During her time as Pharaoh. she helped to
build many important buildings, started trade with new countries and won some important
wars. She died in around 1458 BCE. Archaeologists did not know very much about
Hatshepsut until the nineteenth century. This might be because pictures and sculptures of
the Pharaoh show her as a man.
Next. I want to write about Emperor Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian had a good education. She
was ruler of China in the first century CE and helped to improve Chinese people's
education. Wu Zetian, who died at the age of 80, also helped to improve China's agriculture.
In that way, there was enough food for everyone to eat. She is impressive because she is
the only woman in China to have ruled as an Emperor.
Finally, I will nclude Britain's Queen Victoria who ruled from 1837 to 1901. She was a
respected Oueen for 63 years at a time when Britain was the most powerful country in the
world. She was also a wife and the mother of nine children. The Queen insisted on a law to
stop people using slaves in 1838. She was also responsible for reducing the number of
hours that people had to work in factories.
A) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
1- Which of the following did Hatshepsut not do to help ancient Egypt?
a) Sell goods to other countries b) Win battles with other countries
c) Help to build d) Open new schools
2- How do you think that Wu Retina's education helped her to be a good ruler?
a) She learned how to help other people. b) She could trade with other countries.
c) She knew about art. d) She could win wars.
3- How did Wu Zetian make sure that people had enough to eat?
a) She helped people's education . b) She improved farms.
c) She opened shops. d) She opened factories.
4- What is the main idea of the text?
a) Women should be rulers. b) Women can do great things.
c) Women were usually successful in the past. d) You can trust women.
5. What does the underlined word this refer to?
a) Why archaeologists did not know very much about Hatshepsut.
b) Why Hatshepsut died.
c) Why people thought Hatshepsut was a man.
d) Why people painted pictures of Hatshepsut.
6- What do you think the word Emperor refers to?
a) Someone's name b) A part of China
c) The name of a book d) The title of a ruler

2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
How would you feel about travelling into space for six months to live on a planet that
is 400 million kilometres from earth? And how would you feel if you had been told that you
could never return? That is what is planned for people who are going on the Mars One
mission in 2031. Surprisingly, 200,000 applications have been received from people who
want to join the mission, even though they know that they will never see earth again.
The people who want to go to Mars say that their plan is not very different from the
first Europeans who went to America, or the thousands of people who have left their
countries because of war or disease. They also knew that their new lives would be difficult,
and that they would probably never see their countries again.
A hundred people who want to go to Mars have been chosen to start special training
to see who is suitable. Scientists will get the people to live in a small living space for a long
time, without seeing any friends or family. This will be similar to what they can expect on
Mars. The launch will have a crew of just four people for the long journey into space. A
special settlement will be built on Mars where food will be grown and the four people will
live and work. It won't be an easy life: there will be very little water, they will have to grow
their own food and the planet is known for its giant dust storms. Despite these problems,
for some fearless pioneers, It is a challenge they cannot refuse.
A) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c ord:
1- How many people will be sent to Mars in 2031?
a) 200,000 b) 100 c) 4 d) 400
2- Why did the people decide to travel to Mars?
a) They want to see if they can survive there. b) They want to see the dust storms.
c) Scientists made them go there. d) They don't like earth.
3- What is the main idea of the text?
a) One day, we will all live on Mars. b) Life on Mars will be very difficult.
c) The people who go to Mars will be famous. d) Life on Mars will never be possible.
4- What does the word settlement mean?
a) a farm b) a place where a group of people live
c) a factory d) a rocket
5- What does the underlined It refer to?
a) an offer to go to Mars b) a six-month journey into space
c) time spent with three other people d) an offer to send in an application
6- How far is Mars from earth?
a) 400,000,000 kms b) 400,000 kms c) 4,000,000 kms d) 2,000,000 kms

2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Most people know that the first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong in 1969.
However, since that time, the moon has been visited by eleven other men but they are not
so famous. Who were these other space pioneers?
In 1969, four months after Neil Armstrong and his colleague Buzz Aldrin stayed on
the surface of the moon for 21 hours, Alan Bean and Pete Conrad spent two days there.
Bean is also an artist, and is the only person on earth who is able to paint space scenes
that he had actually seen. In 1971, Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchel went on a mission to
study earthquakes on the moon (known as moon quakes). Shepard also enjoyed a game of
golf there: because there is very little gravity, he hit the ball farther than any professional
golf player on earth!
seven months later, two more astronauts stayed for nearly three days on the moon.
David Scott and James Irwin took along a special vehicle which meant they could travel
around. They returned to earth with many moon rocks. In 1972, John Young and Charles
Duke landed in the moon's mountains for the first time.
The moon was last visited at the end of 1972. Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt
explored the moon for three days, longer than any other astronaut. Schmitt was a geologist
before he became an astronaut and he did a number of scientific experiments there. Before
they returned to earth, Cernan wrote his daughter's name on the moon's surface. There is
no weather on the moon, so he knew that there was nothing that would wear the letters
away. They are probably there today! There are now plans to get astronauts to visit the
moon again, although nobody knows when this might be.
A) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
1- Why are Alan Bean's paintings special?
a) They were painted on the moon. b) They were painted in space.
c) He is the only artist who has been to space. d) You can only see them on the moon.
2- Why is it likely that you can still read the name of Eugene Cernan's daughter on the moon
today?
a) The letters are very big. b) The letters were written in rocks.
c) There is little that will remove the letters. d) His colleague was a geologist.
3- Why do you think that some of the astronauts played golf and wrote names on the
surface of the moon?
a) They were very important experiments. b) They wanted to have fun.
c) Scientists on earth got them to do these. d) They behaved badly.
4- Why do you think that astronauts were sent to the moon?
a) To punish them. b) To do scientific experiments.
c) To test weightless sports. d) To test zero-gravity living.
5- What does the underlined word "They" refer to?
a) the astronauts b) the spaceships
c) the moon's weather d) the letters on the surface
6- What do you think the word vehicle means?
a) something used to carry people or things b) a type of spaceship
c) a rocket d) a type of satellite
B) Answer the following questions:
7- Why do you think that no astronaut has visited the moon since 1.972?

Hi Dalia,
You asked me to tell you about the interview that I had on Tuesday. It did not start very
well. My appointment was at eight o'clock so I had to get up very early. Then there was a
downpour as I was walking to the office so I was very wet when I arrived. However, there
were two other people who were there for interviews too, and they also got wet!
When it was my turn, the manager was very friendly. He looked at my CV and said that I had
excellent qualifications. Then he asked me to describe myself. I said that I was sociable and
conscientious. He asked me if I spoke any languages. I told him that I spoke English
fluently. Then he asked me if I had done any volunteering. I told him that I often helped at a
local charity for poor and disadvantaged children. He also asked me about my free time
activities. I told him that I enjoyed weightlifting. He said that he found that surprising but
also impressive!
He asked me why I wanted to work for his company. I explained that it had a very good
reputation and that I had always wanted to work as a tour guide in a big organisation. At the
end of the interview, he said that I was an excellent candidate and I was qualified to do the
job. He explained that he would make up his mind about who would get the job in the next
few days. I really hope that I get it..
Write soon.

Dear Amal,
In your last email, you told me about your aunt. I am very impressed that she is going
to get a degree in law now that her children have left home. You asked me if I knew anyone
else who had studied when they were older. I don't know anyone, but I heard about an
amazing woman in a report on the radio. The report said that a woman had started primary
school at the age of 90! The woman, whose name is Priscilla Sitienei, lives in a rural village
in Kenya.
When she was younger, she was not able to go to school. She worked for 65 years as a
nurse. Although she was good at her job, she never learned to read or write. In 2003, the
government of Kenya said that primary school would be free for everyone for the first time.
Priscilla wanted to learn to read and write and decided to go primary school with Six of her
great-great-grandchildren. She said that it was never too late to learn new skills and she
wanted t. skills and she wanted to inspire other adults to do the same. Now she is learning
maths, English and PE. She wears the same blue and green uniform as her fellow pupils.
The head teacher of the school said that Priscilla was loved by every pupil and that they all
wanted to learn and play with her. At break, she tells the other pupils about the customs
that she grew up with. At the end of the report, Priscilla said that she wanted to tell the
world's children that with education, they could be whatever they wanted. She is certainly a
remarkable woman! Best wishes, Azza

2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
You might think that concrete is a modern material, but experts think that it might
have been made first by the Egyptians about 5,000 years ago. They used a kind of concrete
made of mud and grass to help build the Pyramids. Nearly three thousand years later, the
Romans also made a type of concrete using volcanic stone. They used it to build many of
their most famous landmarks, such as the Colosseum and the Pantheon, which are still
standing today. The Pantheon still has the largest concrete dome in the world; it is 43
metres in diameter. The Romans added misk, fat or blood to make the concrete stronger.
Today we use chemicals instead. However, Roman concrete was stronger than modern
concrete, although it did not dry as quickly. It was not until 1824 that modern concrete was
invented in England. It was made using local stones. Slowly, builders started to use the new
material. The first concrete house was built in England in 1854, 'and the first concrete
bridge was built in San Francisco in 1889. In 1891, a whole road was made using concrete
in Ohia. USA. You can still drive on it today. Concrete must be great materatbuth.
texpenetmaken is so strong that earthquakes do not usually damage it. It is now used to
make even/thing from massive dams and skyscrapers to sculptures and kitchen worktops.
The world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and the world's longest tunnel, in
Switzerland, are both mostly made from concrete. A downside to concrete is that it is not
very good for the environment because you need a lot of heat to produce it.

2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
People have been writing about strange worlds and travelling to space for
thousands of years. Parts of the famous Arabic story One Thousand and One Nights might
be described as a kind of science fiction. But science really started to influence how we all
lived in the nineteenth century. This was a time when many exciting new things were
invented: steam trains, the telephone, electricity, photographs and much more. The writer
Jules Verne (1828-1905) looked at nineteenth century technology and imagined how it could
be improved to do amazing things. He wrote about people travelling to the centre of the
earth, to the moon or deep under the sea. Many people consider Verne to be the first true
science fiction writer.
In 1895, the writer HG Wells (1866-1946) saw technology differently. He wrote about
the possible dangers of technology. His books include The Time Machine, in which the hero
travels into a dangerous and unpleasant future. Other writers also thought that technology
could be bad. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1931) is about a future in which people are
produced in factories. But not all science fiction writers saw technology as bad. Authors
such as Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) often wrote about a future in which science can solve all
our problems.
Science fiction has evolved with technology. In the 1960s, space was being explored
for the first time. This gave science fiction writers ideas for what explorers might find in
space: strange worlds and unexplained mysteries, such as in the novels of Arthur
C. Clarke. More recently, many science fiction stories have been about robots. Could they
become more intelligent than people? Should we use them or could they start to take over
and rule the world? In science fiction, anything is possible.
A) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c ord:
1- In his novels, Jules Verne wrote about technology ............
a) that could make life better b) that made life dangerous
c) that people used at that time d) that could never exist
2- According to the article, what influenced science fiction writers in the 1960s?
a) Arthur C. Clarke b) space travel c) unexplained mysteries d) robots
3- In what way was Isaac Asimov different to many science fiction writers?
a) He was optimistic about science. b) He was pessimistic about science.
c) He only wrote about space. d) He only wrote about robots.
4- In conclusion, the text says that in science fiction, ....................
a) technology is good b) technology is bad
c) anything might happen d) there are never any problems
5- What does the underlined word this refer to?
a) changes in science fiction b) changes in technology
c) the new year d) space exploration
6- What do you think the phrase take over means?

2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Monday 5th June
I have always wished that I knew more about the moon, so I did a project about it at
school. The moon orbits the earth every 27.3 days, so that is about once a month. However,
we only see one side of it. That is because it takes about the same time for the moon to spin
once as it takes for the moon to orbit the earth. The side which we do not see is called "the
dark side of the moon". However, like the earth, both sides of the moon are illuminated by
the sun at different times, so it is not dark all the time. We just can't see it.
Like the sun, the moon rises in the east and sets in the west. A full moon is when we see
the moon as a circle. This occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth to the
sun.
Scientists think that there is probably some water on the moon, but there are no clouds and
there is no wind. The average temperature on the moon is 107 degrees centigrade in the
day and -153 degrees centigrade at night. If the astronauts who visited the moon hadn't
worn spacesuits, they would have died. The moon is usually about 385,000 kilometres from
earth, but its gravity makes our seas rise and fall twice a day.
I wish I could visit the moon! It is not very big. The surface of the moon is about the same
size as Africa. I would like to see Mons Huygens, the moon's tallest mountain, which is half
as high as Mount Everest. Gravity on the moon is only 17% as strong as it is on earth. That
means you can jump really high there!
A) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
1. What does the moon affect on earth?
a) the size of mountains b) its gravity c) its weather d) the
seas
2- Why is one side of the moon called "the dark side of the moon"?
a) It is always dark there. b) It is never dark there.
c) We can't see it from earth. d) You can't see it from a spaceship.
3- What do you think would be most dangerous about visiting the moon?
a) the temperature b) the gravity
c) the height of the mountains d) the fact that it is dark
4. What kind of text is this?
a) a newspaper article b) a diary extract c) a novel d) a poem
5- What does the underlined word That refer to?
a) the fact that you can jump b) the fact that the moon's gravity is weaker
c) the fact that the earth's gravity d) the fact that you are on the moon is weak
6- What do you think spacesuits are?
a) special clothes that astronauts wear b) special helmets
c) special shoes d) special hats
B) Answer the following questions:
7. What is the average temperature on the moon?

2) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
There are some amazing trees in the world. Some people think that a tree in Britain
might be 4,000 years old. In Italy, a tree that might be the same age is famous for its size: its
diameter is more than 18 metres. It is called The Tree of 100 Horses because it is believed
that 100 soldiers on horses waited under the tree in a storm. However, no scientists have
been able to prove the ages of these two trees. The oldest tree that scientists know the age
of in Europe is more than 1,000 years old. The tree, which is in Greece, first grew in 941 CE.
However, if you compared these with two trees in North America, they would seem
quite young! Scientists used to think a tree called "Methuselah" was the world's oldest tree.
It is more than 4,800 years old. Then scientists found a nearby tree that is more than 5,000
years old! The location of these trees is a secret, and for a good reason: in 2012, a woman
was arrested for burning down another tree which was 3,500 years old. These are probably
the world's oldest individual trees, but scientists believe that there are even older roots of
trees. Sometimes individual trees might have died, but new trees have grown from their
roots. For example, a small tree in Sweden has grown from roots which are believed to be
nearly 10,000 years old. We know the age of most of these trees because scientists have
calculated their age after extracting a piece of wood from the trunks. However, we also
know that a tree in Asia is more than 2,300 years old because a text describes when it was
planted. I wish I could see some of these trees: they are incredible.
A) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
1- Where are the two oldest individual trees in the world?
a) Greece b) Britain c) Sweden d) North America
2- Why was a woman arrested in 2012?
a) She found one of the old trees. b) She told people where the old trees were.
c) She destroyed an old tree. d) She burned all the old trees.
2- Why do you think that people believe that 100 soldiers on horses waited under the old
Italian tree?
a) It is a very tall tree. b) Its branches are very wide.
c) It took 100 horses to pull the tree down. d) It looks like a lot of horses.
4. What does the writer thinks about trees?
a) He wishes he could see more of them. b) He is impressed by them.
c) They should be studied more. d) All of the above.
5. What does the underlined word these refer to?
a) the world's oldest trees b) the oldest trees in Europe
c) soldiers d) soldiers on horses
6- What do you think the word trunk means?
