II. Read the following text and choose the best answer for the questions below. Write your answer
in the box provided.( 5 pts)

Hydrogen, the lightest and simplest of the elements has several properties that make it valuable for
many industries. It releases more heat per unit of weight than any other fuel. In rocket engines, tons
of hydrogen and oxygen are burned and hydrogen is used with oxygen for welding torch that
produce temperatures as high as 4000 degrees F and can be used in cutting steel. Fuel cells to
generate electricity operate on hydrogen and oxygen.

Hydrogen also serves to prevent metal from tarnishing during heat treatment by removing the
oxygen from them. Although it would be difficult to remove the oxygen by itself, hydrogen readily
combines with oxygen to form water, which can be heated to steam and easily removed.

Hydrogen is also useful in the food industry for a process known as hydrogenation. Products such as
margarine and cooking oils are changed from liquids to semisolids by adding hydrogen to their
molecules. Soap manufactures also use hydrogen for this purpose.

5
 Hydrogen is also one of the coolest refrigerants. It doesn't become a liquid until it reaches
temperature of - 425 degree F. Pure hydrogen gas is used in large electric generators to cool the
coils. In addition, in the chemical industry, hydrogen is used to produce ammonia, gasoline, methyl
alcohol and many other important products .

1. What's the author's main purpose in the passage?

A. To explain the industrial uses of hydrogen.

B. To describe the chemical properties of hydrogen.

C. To discuss hydrogenation

D. To give examples of how hydrogen and oxygen combine.

2. How can hydrogen be used to cut steel?

A. By cooling the steel to a very low temperature

B. By cooling the hydrogen with oxygen to a very low temperature

C. By heating the steel to a very low temperature.

D. By heating the hydrogen with oxygen to a very high temperature.

3. The author mentions all the following as uses for hydrogen EXCEPT

A. to remove tarnish from metals

B. to produce fuels such as gasoline and methyl alcohol

C. to change solid foods to liquids

D. to operate fuel cells that generate electricity

1.____ Many people have tried to row across the Atlantic and quite a few have managed it. It is clear
from accounts of survivors that it is an exhausting test of endurance. Soldiers, sailors, housewives,
Olympic rowers:the triumphant emerge from surprisingly varied quarters.
2._____ What is apparent, however, is that the main struggle takes place not in the muscles but in
the mind. So, before fussing over such preliminaries as finding a crewmate and sponsorship to the
tune of £50,000, I realised that first I had to explore my own mind and try to answer the obivious
question of why I wanted to do something that most people would find frightening and painful.
3._____ When we are young we can afford to dream; as we grow older the gap widens between what
we would like to do and what we actually can do. We come to the realisation that we either have to
act now or dream on. After the age of forty, people respond to that realisation in varying ways, and
rowing across the Atlantic is one of them.
4._____ I have sailed, climbed, explored the Amazon and run marathons, but what I am looking for
now is an endeavour that scares me and may not be within my capabilities. Such as racing across the
Atlantic in a rowing boat.
5._____ Two Norwegian sailors were the first to row theAtlantic in 1896. They took 60 days and
their achievement was unequalled until 1966, when two soldiers, John Ridgway and Chay Blyth,
made in 91 days.

Keeping photographs in a dark drawer, (12)…………. even in the fridge, will certainly (13)
