Model 2 : position of topic sentences

Hurricanes Hurricanes, which are also called cyclones, exert tremendous power. These violent storms are often a hundred miles in diameter, and their winds can reach velocities* of seventy-five miles per hour or more. Furthermore, the strong winds and heavy rainfall that accompany them can completely destroy a small town in a couple of hours. The energy that is released by a hurricane in one day exceeds the total energy consumed by human kind throughout the world in one year. Famous Schooll “Failures” Albert Einstein, one of the world’s geniuses, failed his university entrance examination on his first attempt. William Faulkner, one of America note writers, never finished college because he could not pass his English courses. Sir William Churchill, who is considered one of the masters of English language, had to have special tutoring in English during elementary school. These examples show that failure in school does not always predict failure in life. Synonyms Synonym words, that have the same basic meaning, do not always have the same emotional meaning. For example the words “stingy” and “frugal” both mean” careful with money. “however, to call a person stingy is an insult, while the word frugal has a much more positive connotation*. Similarly, a person wants to be slender but not skinny, and aggressive, but not pushy. Therefore, you should be careful in choosing words because many so-called synonyms are not really synonymous at all.

Questions 17 – 23

The locations of stars in the sky relative to one another, do not appear to the naked eye to change, and as a result stars are often considered to be fixed in position. Many unaware stargazers falsely assume that each star has its own permanent home in the nighttime sky.

In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are barely perceptible here. An example of a rather fast-moving star demonstrate why this misconception prevails; it takes approximately 200 years for a relatively rapid star like Bernard’s star to move a distance in the skies equal to the diameter of the earth’s moon. When the apparently negligible movement of the stars is contrasted with the movement of the planets, the stars are seemingly unmoving.

17. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

  1. What the Eye Can See in the Sky
  2. Bernard’s Star
  3. Planetary Movement
  4. The Evermoving Stars

  1. a telescope
  2. a scientific method for observing stars
  3. unassisted vision
  4. a camera with a powerful lens
Answer : 3. unassisted vision

19. According to the passage, the distance between the stars and Earth are

  1. barely perceptible
  2. huge
  3. fixed
  4. moderate
Answer : 2. huge

20. The word “perceptible” in line 5 is closest in meaning to which of the following

  1. Noticeble
  2. Persuasive
  3. Conceivable
  4. Astonishing
Answer : 3. conceivable

21. In line 6, a “misconception” is closest in meaning to a(n)

  1. idea
  2. proven fact
  3. erroneous belief
  4. theory
Answer : 3. erroneous belief

22. The passage states that in 200 years Bernard’s star can move

  1. around Earths’s moon
  2. next to Earth’s moon
  3. a distance equal to the distance from Earth to the Moon
  4. a distance seemingly equal to the diameter of the Moon
Answer : 4. a distance seemingly equal to the diameter of the Moon

23. The passage implies that from Earth it appears that the planets

  1. are fixed in the sky
