The following text is to answer the questions number 1 to 3 !

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making
physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor
technology to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and
ocean) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or
satellites).
There are two main types or remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote sensing. Passive
sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the objects or surrounding area being
observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive censors.
Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, infra-red, charge-coupled devices, and
radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in order to scan objects and areas
whereupon a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the
target. RADAR and LIDAR are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between emission
and return is measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed and direction of an object.

1. From the text we know that remote sensing…

a. Is a way to obtain information about an object or phenomenon
b. Does not difficult to do c. Makes physical contact with the object
c. Does not make use of censors
d. Does not make use propagated signals

2. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

Active sensing is better than passive sensing
b. The energy in sunlight is important for remote sensing
c. Passive sensing is not as strong as active sensing
d. Active remote sensing and passive remote sensing are equally useful for the development
of knowledge and technology

3. Based on the text we can say that…

a. Remote sensing is expensive technology
c. We can apply the technology to study animals
d. Medical science can be improved through remote sensing
d. Remote sensing make it possible to collect information of an object in a dangerous area

Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as ornaments or as money. Gold is found in many places, but in a
small supply. It is often found on the surface of the earth. Since gold is a heavy substance, it is
sometimes found loose on bottom of rivers. The gold is found together with sand and rocks, and must
be separated from them. It is simple to search for this type of gold. It is not usually necessary to drill for
gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep below the surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole
into the ground. Engineers have developed modern process for removing gold from rocks. Since gold is
not very hard, it is sometimes melted and added to other substances for making rings, coins, and art
objects. It will be priced forever because it is beautiful, rare, and useful.

Every single rock on the surface of the Earth-whether it is gravestone, a piece of solidified lava
from a volcano or a boulder that has broken from a cliff or mountain-is slowly being broken
down. This breaking down of rocks at or near the Earth’s surface is called weathering. The word
is used because the weather is mainly responsible. Weathering turns solid rock into soft materials
that may eventually form soil.
Air and water are the cause of most weathering. Sometimes they change the chemical in the
rocks, and sometimes they just break apart the rock physically. If water seeps into the cracks in
the rocks, for example, it may later freeze if the temperature falls below 0 degrees Celsius. As
the water turns to ice, it expands, pushing against the sides of the rock with a pressure believe to
be as much as 2,100 kilograms per square centimetre. This forces the cracks open. Repeated
freezing and thawing causes the fragments to break away from the original rock, these may slide
down a cliff or mountain and form a sloping mass of fragments at the bottom, called scree.

8. According to the text,….

a. there are two kinds of rock, gravestone and a boulder

b. soft materials will turn to solidified lava through weathering
c. chemical in the rocks causes weathering in every single rock-

a. the materials of weathering
b. the process of weathering
c. the impact of weathering
d. the definition of weathering

a. very solid rock is impossible to break down

Dear Frodi,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill,
for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to
think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock.
You have my sincere and heartfelt

sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always
thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to
myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your
father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.

Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows
we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your
sorrow.

Your sincere friend, Jean
