(10 points) “Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes” -> Sugar, water, and aluminum are different substances. Each substance has specific properties that do not depend on the quantity of the substance. Properties that can be used to identify or characterize a substance— and distinguish that substance from other substances are called characteristic properties. They are subdivided into two categories: physical properties and chemical properties. The characteristic physical properties of a substance are those that identify the substance without causing a change in the composition of the substance. They do not depend on the quantity of substance. (A) [■] Color, odor, density, melting point, boiling point, hardness, metallic luster or shininess, ductility, malleability, and viscosity are all characteristic physical properties. For example, aluminum is a metal that is both ductile and malleable. (B) [■] Another example of a physical property is water. Whether a small pan of water is raised to its boiling point or a very large kettle of water is raised to its boiling point, the temperature at which the water boils is the same value, 100 degrees C or 212 degrees F. (C) [■] Similarly, the freezing point of water is 0 degrees C or 32 degrees F. These values are independent of quantity. (D) [■] Characteristic properties that relate to changes in the composition of a substance or to how it reacts with other substances are called chemical properties. The following questions pertain to the chemical properties of a substance. 1. Does it burn in air? 2. Does it decompose (break up into smaller substances) when heated? 3. What happens when it is placed in an acid? 4. What other chemicals will it react with, and what substances are obtained from the reaction?
4. Characteristic physical and chemical properties—also called intensive properties—are used to identify a substance. In addition to the characteristic physical properties already mentioned, some intensive physical properties include the tendency to dissolve in water, electrical conductivity, and density, which is the ratio of mass to volume. Additional intensive chemical properties include the tendency of a substance to react with another substance, to tarnish, to corrode, to explode, or to act as a poison or carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). Extensive properties of substances are those that depend on the quantity of the sample, including measurements of mass, volume, and length. Whereas intensive properties help identify or characterize a particular kind of matter, extensive properties relate to the amount present. If a lump of candle wax is cut or broken into smaller pieces, or if it is melted (a change of state), the sample remaining is still candle wax. When cooled, the molten wax returns to a solid. In these examples, only a physical change has taken place; that is, the composition of the substance was not affected. ->When a candle is burned, there are both physical and chemical changes. After the candle is lighted, the solid wax near the burning wick melts. This is a physical change; the composition of the wax does not change as it goes from solid to liquid. Some of the wax is drawn into the burning wick where a chemical change occurs. Here, wax in the candle flame reacts chemically with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. In any chemical change, one or more substances are used up while one or more new substances are formed. The new substances produced have their own unique physical and chemical properties. The apparent disappearance of something, like the candle wax, however, is not necessarily a sign that we are observing a chemical change. For example, when water evaporates from a glass and disappears, it has changed from a liquid to a gas (called water vapor), but in both forms it is water. This is a phase change (liquid to gas), which is a physical change. When attempting to determine whether a change is physical or chemical, one should ask the critical question: Has the fundamental composition of the substance changed? In a chemical change (a reaction), it has, but in a physical change, it has not. 1. According to paragraph 1, what do physical properties and chemical properties have common? (A) They are both used to create most of the substances. (B) They include basic substances like sugar and water. (C) They are classified as characteristic properties of substances. (D) They change in proportion to the amount of the substance. Paragraph 1 is marked with an arrow [->]. 2. The word pertain in the passage is closest in meaning to (A) compare (B) relate (C) explain (D) change 3. According to the passage, a carcinogen (A) explodes under pressure (B) conducts electricity (C) causes cancer (D) tarnishes in air 4. Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the highlighted statement in the passage? (A) Properties that are classified as intensive identify the type of substance and the extent of it present in the surrounding matter. (B) The quantity of a substance influences its extensive properties, but the characteristics of the substance define the intensive properties. (C) Where the intensive and extensive properties are found in substances is important in identifying their characteristics. (D) Both intensive and extensive properties tend to have quantitative rather than qualitative characteristics present. 5. In paragraph 8, the author contrasts the concepts of physical and chemical changes by (A) listing several types for each concept (B) providing clear definitions for them (C) identifying the common characteristics (D) using a wax candle as an example Paragraph 8 is marked with an arrow [->]. 6. The word unique in the passage is closest in meaning to (A) distinctive (B) idealized (C) primary (D) significant 7. What can be inferred about phase changes?
5. (A) They are always chemical changes. (B) They are sometimes physical changes. (C) They are dependent on extensive properties. (D) They usually produce new substances. 8. According to the passage, the classification of characteristic properties as “physical” or “chemical” is determined by (A) whether there has been a change in the structure of the substance (B) what happens when the quantity of the substance is increased (C) their classification as either extensive or intensive samples (D) the disappearance of a substance from one form to another 9. All of the following are mentioned as characteristic physical properties EXCEPT (A) dissolving in water (B) carrying an electrical charge (C) resisting continuous flow (D) decomposing when heated 10. Look at the four squares [■] that show where the following sentence could be inserted in the passage. It can be made into wire or thin, flexible sheets. Where could the sentence best be added? (A) (B) (C) (D) Part 5: Read the text below and answer questions (15 points). A One of the biggest temptations for someone new to the travel game is to look at everything through rose- tinted glasses, and this typically comes out in their writing. They paint everything to be magical and perfect, and their stories are laid out in romantic, flowery language. But the reality is that over time the road will lose its lustre, and any reader who knows that is going to see right through your prose. Not to mention that the harsh realities of a place are often just as interesting as the poetry used to describe it - probably even more interesting. Look over what you've written, and if it seems as if you've just written a brochure, you might want to have another look. It might be your limited perspective that is causing the issue - perhaps you're still caught up in the magic of the road. Or perhaps you are too caught up in selling the romance of travel. B Although getting off the beaten track is always a good idea when travelling, travel writers nonetheless feel they need to capture the biggest sites that everyone comes to a specific country to see. So, even if they are the more adventurous type, they end up going to the same places that everyone else goes to. It may depend on what audience you're writing for, but the best advice is always to head in the opposite direction to everyone else and just see what happens. In another country, the seemingly mundane often creates the most interesting, humorous and exciting moments. If you are stuck to the biggest attractions by assignment, always look for another angle and point out things that others miss. Rolf Potts' story about trying (and failing) to crash the set of The Beach when it was being filmed in Thailand (featured in his book Marco Polo Didn't Go There) was far better than many other travel stories I've ever read. C An extremely valuable habit for a writer to form, especially in this genre, is the habit of taking notes. Travel is exciting, and while you are caught up in the moment, it is easy to think to yourself that there is no way it will slip from the forefront of your mind. But as the day winds down, you will find yourself sitting in front of your laptop screen, trying your hardest to grasp the best details out of what happened. Carry a small notebook on you at all times. And don't only take it out when you think you are going to do something worthy of a story, because you never know when good fodder for a story will jump out of nowhere. D Writers always want to seem like an authority on their subject, but when you are a travel writer, always experiencing new places and new things, you will never be the complete authority on anything. Don't be afraid to reveal your awkward moments, your embarrassments and your mishaps. These are the things that other readers who have travelled can relate to and it makes you seem more human. E Finally, if you want to produce good content on the road, you should be willing to take risks - if your idea of world travel is sitting in world-class resorts with a bottle of sunblock in one hand and a cold ice tea in the other, you will be waiting a long time for anything interesting to happen. Hop on the backs of motorbike taxis where death on the road seems a certainty. Eat eyeballs, barbecued rats, giant fried beetles and anything else they throw on your plate. Sample that home-made whisky from the dusty bottle some farmer hands you
6. while touring through the middle of nowhere. Go hang-gliding in the Swiss Alps. In short, get out there and live the road. Bad things will happen here and there, but the same would be true if you never left your home. And all the other adventures you have in between, well, those are the dreams that good travel writing (and life) are made of. In which section are the following mentioned? 1.- the desirability of conveying a more personal message 2.- the danger of writing in too transparent a fashion 3.- the downside of subjecting yourself to an uneventful travel experience 4.- the idea of being restricted by work commitments 5.- the need to adopt a more reckless approach 6.- the advantages of being prepared for an idea to pop up 7.- the dangers of writers getting carried away by their own enthusiasm 8.- the technique of trying to see things from a different perspective 9.- the need to earmark something significant 10.- the realization that writers are not infallible SECTION D. WRITING (60 points) Part 1. Read the following text and use your own words to summarize it. Your summary should be about 140 words long. You MUST NOT copy the original. (15 pts.) The word ‘stress’ refers to a feeling of panic that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems. There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress. Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous. Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk. It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while. Part 2: The diagram shows the consumption of renewable energy in the USA from 1949-2008. Write a 150-word report for a university lecturer identifying the main trends and making comparisons where relevant. » You should write at least 150 words.
