II-Read the following text then do the tasks below:

About 17 trees are needed to make one metric ton of paper. Paper mills turn wood into a thick liquid called pulp. Pulp is spread out and dried to produce paper. Pulp can also be made from used paper, such as old newspapers. Most paper products can only be recycled a few times. Recycled paper is not as smooth or as strong as paper made from wood pulp. Each time paper is recycled, the new paper is rougher, weaker and darker. When oil is refined to make petrol and other products, solid materials called resins are left over; resins can be heated, stretched and molded into plastic products. Common products made from plastic include milk jugs, detergent containers and soft drink bottles. When they are recycled, the new plastic can take on very different forms, such as carpeting, park benches or fiber filling for jackets and many other things.

When we talk about animal migration we mean the movement of an animal from the place where it has been living to a different place and the return journey to that animal’s original home. Most animal migrations are recurrent events which happen at certain times of the year. Animals usually migrate to find food or to raise their young. Incredibly, most migrating animals follow the same route every year and from generation to generation. Land animals may cross mountains or forge through rivers, while birds and insects travel extensive distances, sometimes across continents and oceans. Fish and other sea creatures may migrate halfway round the world. For example, the grey whale can travel as much as 20,000 kilometres. Many animals migrate to northern regions during the northern summer because the long summer days mean that there is always plenty of food. In the autumn, when the weather gets colder, many animals migrate south to find food and warmer weather (the southern summer). Some animals migrate every year, doing the two journeys in one year, but others migrate only if they need to find food or for more temperate weather.

UAnswer the following questions: (18 marks)

1. What is meant by animal migration?

II- Read the following text then do the tasks below:

When Yuri Gagarin went into space, the food was bite-sized and kept in small aluminum tubes. Food was designed this way so that it wouldn’t take up too much room and could be eaten in a single mouthful before it floated away. Now, however, astronauts enjoy food from plastic containers that just need to have hot or cold water added. Fruit and nuts can also be eaten in space. When drinking liquids, a straw is used to suck the liquid out of a sealed package. It mustn’t spill or float out of the cup, or it could damage some of the computers. Another, equally important, issue to address is the toilet. In space this is largely similar to one on Earth, with the difference being that astronauts have to strap themselves onto it. In place of running water to flush it, there is a vacuum-cleaner-like system to suck up the waste, which is then dried and disposed of on Earth.

I- Read the following text then do the tasks below:

It may seem very strange, but plants are always in danger from animals which want to feed on them. If this happens, the plant can be damaged or even killed. So, because their roots, trunks, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds are under constant attack from mammals, insects or birds, plants have developed ways of protecting themselves from these enemies. Here are some of the ways plants stop animals from attacking and eating them. Some plants which grow in dry climates, for example cactuses, store large quantities of water in their stems. To protect themselves, they have sharp thorns. Animals will hurt themselves if they try to get the water from these plants. Other plants, like stinging nettles, can ' inject' painful or irritating substances into their enemies by means of the sharp hairs on their leaves. There are many plants which protect themselves by poisoning their enemies. In some cases the poison they contain is so powerful that it can kill any living thing which touches or eats them. The poison can be in the leaves, the seeds or berries, or in other parts of the plant. Some acacia trees in hot African countries are protected by ants which live permanently on their branches. If an animal starts to eat the tree's leaves, the ants attack it. Some plants, such as horse chestnut trees, are covered with a sticky substance, like wet paint, which can prevent insects from eating them. Sometimes this substance is so strong that insects' feet or wings get stuck and they cannot escape. Answer the following questions: (18 marks)

1. Why do plants need to protect themselves ?2. Which part of a nettle can hurt enemies?3. Where can the poison be found in plants ?
