    Examination For XII Grade. Please choose the best answer for each question below!

    Questions 1-10 refer to the following passage


    Awarded the Nobel prize for physics in 1918, German physics Max Planck is best remembered as the
    originator of the quantum theory. His work helped user in a new era in theoretical physics and revolutionized
    the scientific community’s understanding of atomic and sub-atomic processes.
    Planck intriduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth
    century physics. In December 1900, Plnck worked out an equation that described the distribution of
    radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequencies. He had developed a theory which depended
    on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of
    electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later called quantums. The
    energy associated with each quatum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a
    universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is
    now recognized as one of the fundamental constant of the world.
    Planck announced his finding in 1900, but it was years before teh full consequences of his
    revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to
    optics, thermodynamics and stastistical mechanics, physical chemistry, and other fields. In 1930, He was
    elected president of the Kaiser Wilhelm society, which was renamed the Max II. Though deeply opposed to
    the fascist regime of Adolf Hitler, Planck remained in Germany throughout teh war. He died in Gottingen on
    October 4, 1947.

    Questions 11-15 refer to the following passage


    A distinctively American architecture began with Frank Lloyd Wright, who had taken to heart the admonition
    that form should follow function and who thought of buildings not as separate architectural entities but as
    parts of an organic whole that included the land, the community, and the society. In a very real way the
    houses of colonial New England and some of the southern plantations had been functional, but Wright was
    the first architect to make functionalism the authoritative principle for public as well as for domestic
    buildings. As early as 1906 he built the Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, the first of those churches that did
    so much to revolutionize ecclesiastical architecture in the United States. Thereafter he turned his genius to
    such miscellaneous structures as houses, schools, office buildings, and factories, among them the famous
    Larkin Building in Buffalo, New York, and the Johnson Wax Company building in Racine, Wisconsin.
    11. The phrase “taken to heart” in line 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
    (A) Taken seriously
    (B) Criticized
    (C) Memorized
    (D) Taken offence

    12. In what way did Wright’s public buildings differ from most of those built by earlier architects?
    (A) They were built on a larger scale.
    (B) Their materials came from the southern United States.
    (C) They looked more like private homes.
    (D) Their designs were based on how they would be used.
    13. The author mentions the Unity Temple because, it __________
    (A) was Wright’s first building
    (B) influenced the architecture of subsequent churches
    (C) demonstrated traditional ecclesiastical architecture
    (D) was the largest church Wright ever designed

    14. The passage mentions that all of the following structures were built by Wright EXCEPT
    (A) factories
    (B) public buildings
    (C) offices
    (D) southern plantations

    15. Which of the following statements best reflects one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural principles?
    (A) Beautiful design is more important than utility.
    (B) Ecclesiastical architecture should be derived from traditional designs.
    (C) A building should fit into its surroundings.
    (D) The architecture of public buildings does not need to be revolutionary

    Questions 16-24 refer to the following passage


    There are two basic types of glaciers, those that flow outward in all directions with little regard for
    any underlying terrain and those that are confined by terrain to a particular path.
    The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents,
    appropriately called ice sheets. There must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered with ice for
    the glacier to qualify as an ice sheet. When portions of an ice sheet spread out over the ocean, they form
    ice shelves.
    About 20,000 years ago the Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered nearly all the mountains in southern
    Alaska, western Canada, and the western United States. It was about 3 kilometers deep at its thickest point
    in northern Alberta. Now there are only two sheets left on Earth, those covering Greenland and Antarctica.
    Any domelike body of ice that also flows out in all directions but covers less than 50,000 square
    kilometers is called an ice cap. Although ice caps are rare nowadays, there are a number in northeastern
    Canada, on Baffin Island, and on the Queen Elizabeth Islands.
    The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes generally called
    mountain or alpine glaciers. Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the landform that controls their flow.
    One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap in that it flows outward in several directions is called
    an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice cap is subtle. Essentially, the flow of an ice field
    is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain and thus does not have the domelike shape of a cap. There
    are several ice fields in the Wrangell. St. Elias, and Chugach mountains of Alaska and northern British
    Columbia.
    Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers: the cirque
    and valley glaciers. Cirque glaciers are found in depressions in the surface of the land and have a
    characteristic circular shape. The ice of valley glaciers, bound by terrain, flows down valleys, curves around
    their corners, and falls over cliffs.
    16. What does the passage mainly discuss?
    (A) Where major glaciers are located
    (B) How glaciers shape the land
    (C) How glaciers are formed
    (D) The different kinds of glaciers

    (D) They have a characteristic circular shape.
