We had a lesson about magnets and learned that magnets can be used to separate magnetic metals like iron from other materials [6] The teacher suddenly asked, do you know that a permanent magnet can be demagnetized [7] [8] We were surprised and wanted to know how to do it. She explained [9] heating a magnet until it is red hot makes it lose its magnetic properties. That[10]s amazing[11] [12] I said. However, she told us to be very careful if we wanted to try out the experiment because playing with fire can be dangerous A. [ : ] colon C. [ ; ] semi-colon B. [. ] full stop D. [, ] comma A.

EACH WORD CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE. run operate line can cannot service distance space power The trains on the MRT system in Singapore [19] on electricity. Due to the short [20] between the stations, the trains [21] travel at high speed. Therefore, high speed trains are not required. However, a proposed new train [22] from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur may be able to use magnetic [23] to run the trains, as it is a long distance to Kuala Lumpur and a high speed train will cut down the travel time. 4

The earth s core is A. a gigantic magnet B. a vacuum C. solid iron D. a cloud of gas and oil 25. What happens when you bring two magnets close to each other? A. Nothing happens, they remain in the same position you place them. B. The opposite poles of each magnet will be drawn together and the two ends will stick to each other. C. They will create a magnetic field which attracts metal items nearby. D. It releases magnetic energy. 26. What is another name for the Aurora Borealis? A. The spectacular fireworks display B. The dancing lights C. The Northern lights D. The magnetic light displays 27. What is the role of the magnet in a compass? A. It ensures that the compass needle always points to the north pole B. It keeps the compass needle steady. C. It lights up the compass so that it can be used even in the dark D. It is used for navigation. 5

6 Section 6 GRAMMAR CLOZE There are 7 blanks, numbered 28 to 34, in the passage below. From the list of words given, choose the most suitable word for each blank.

7 Section 7 EDITING Correct each word in bold for spelling errors and the underlined for grammatical errors. Write the correct answer in the blanks below. Trains which use electromagnetic power are called Maglev trains. [35] This Maglev trains were first [36] lunched in Japan in 1997 and clocked a speed of over 300 miles per hour. They do not need wheels to [37] oparate, as magnetic forces enable the train to float above the track. This is due to magnetic repulsion between electromagnets placed in the track and underside [38] on the train. They can often [39] traval at very high speeds and are used to connect cities which [40] is far apart
