A The influence of ice on the diet B The development of refrigeration C The transportation of goods to market D Sources of ice in the 19th century Question 46 According to the passage, when did the word "icebox" become part of the language of the United States? A In 1803 B Sometime before 1850 C During the Civil War D Near the end of the nineteenth century Question 47 The phrase "forward-looking" in line is closest in meaning to A progressive B popular C thrifty D well-established Question 48 The author mentions fish in line because A many fish dealers also sold ice B fish was shipped in refrigerated freight cars C fish dealers were among the early commercial users of ice D fish was not part of the ordinary person's diet before the invention of the icebox Question 49 The word "it" in line refers to A fresh meat B the Civil War C ice D a refrigerator Question 50 According to the passage, which of the following was an obstacle to the development of the icebox? A Competition among the owners of refrigerated freight cars B The lack of a network for the distribution of ice C The use of insufficient insulation D Inadequate understanding of physics Question 51.The word "rudimentary" in line 12 is closest in meaning to A growing B undeveloped C necessary D uninteresting Question 52 According to the information in the second paragraph, an ideal icebox would A completely prevent ice from melting B stop air from circulating C allow ice to melt slowly D use blankets to conserve ice Question 53 The author describes Thomas Moore as having been "on the right track" to indicate that A the road to the market passed close to Moore's farm B Moore was an honest merchant C Moore was a prosperous farmer D Moore's design was fairly successful Question 54 According to the passage, Moore's icebox allowed him to A charge more for his butter B travel to market at night C manufacture butter more quickly D produce ice all year round Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C,or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64 The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal Other solid material such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions The lost electrons are free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from) Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain not flow easily Water itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral) However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive ByHelena Gillespie and Rob Gillespie Science for Primary School Teacher OUP Question 55: Electrical conductivity is A one of the most important properties of metals B one of the key properties of most solid materials C impossible for any substance when it is dissolved in water D completely impossible for silicon Question 56: According to the passage, a metal can conduct electricity due to A the absence of free electrons B its atoms with a positive charge C the way its atoms bond together D the loss of one electron in the core of its atoms Question 57: The word “outermost” in paragraph mostly means A the lightest B nearest to the inside C furthest from the inside D the heaviest Question 58: The atoms of a metal can bond together because A the lost electrons cannot move freely in the sea of electrons B electrons can flow in a single direction C they lose all of electrons D negatively charged electrons attract positive ions Question 59: Slat in its solid state is not able to conduct electricity because A it has free electrons B its charged ions can flow easily C it cannot create any charge ions D it charged ions are not free to move Question 60: The word “they” in paragraph refers to A charged ions B electric currents C charged particles D electrical insulator Question 61: Water is a poor conductor because it contains A no positive or negative electric charge B only a small amount of fully charged particles C only a positive electric charge D only a negative electric charge Question 62: We can have problems when touching electrical devices with wet hands because A the eater itself is a good conductor of electricity B the water dissolves the salt on our skin and becomes more conductive C the water contains too many neutral molecules D the water containing no charged particles makes it more conductive Question 63: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A Pure water is much more conductive than most water we encounter every day B Graphite is a common solid substance that can conduct electricity C Salt can conduct electricity when it is molten or dissolved D Some materials are more conductive than others Question 64: Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?
