punctuation.

Spot.

A Emily has three animals in total.

3. Genealogy is fun. Just as a piece of furniture or a picture takes on much more interest if you
know its history, so does an individual become more real once the ancestral elements that
shaped him are known. An in-depth family history is a tapestry of all those to whom we owe our
existence.

Which statement best conveys the theme of this paragraph?

A Finding out about our ancestors is more interesting than researching the history of
objects.

B Genealogy is a study of people and their belongings in the past.

C Genealogy is a study of family history.

D Genealogical research can bring meaning and life to a family’s history.

E Most genealogies are a waste of effort.

4. Choose the option which will best replace the underlined words in the sentence to make it
correct.

She done it to quick, so it came out looking rough.

A done it too quickly

B did it too quick

C did it too quickly

D did it to quickly

E none of these

5. Tailgating another vehicle is unsafe and illegal. Many rear-end collisions are caused by drivers
following too close to the vehicle in front of them. The rules state that a driver must keep
sufficient distance from the vehicle in front in order to stop safely and avoid a collision. Drivers
should allow a minimum two seconds’ gap between their vehicle and the one ahead. At sixty
kilometers an hour, this equates to thirty-three metres; at a hundred it equates to fifty-five
metres. More distance is needed to safely stop in rain or poor visibility.

Tailgating another vehicle is unsafe because ..........................

A all rear end collisions are caused by drivers following too close to the vehicle in front.

B it may not allow sufficient time and space to stop and avoid a collision.

C it is against the road rules.

D it is a reckless practice.

E None of these.

kilometres an hour, this equates to thirty-three metres; at a hundred it equates to fifty-five

‘More distance is needed to safely stop in rain or poor visibility.’ We can infer from this that
...................

A people drive faster in rain and poor visibility.

B the writer is merely calculating on the safe side.

C braking is more hazardous in rain and poor visibility.

 D the road rules state that this must be so.

E All of these.

7. There is a place forty kilometres north-east of Portland, Victoria, which makes for an unusual
visit. It is Lake Condah. Here are to be found remains of aboriginal settlements: the circular stone
bases of several hundred huts, rock-lined water channels, and stone tools chipped from rock not
normally found in the area. One of the attractions of Lake Condah long ago was its fish and the
most startling evidence of aboriginal technology and engineering to be found there are the
systems built to trap fish. Water courses had been constructed by redirecting streams, building
stone sides and even scraping out new channels. At strategic spots, they piled rocks across the
water courses to create weirs and build funnels to channel eels and fish into conical baskets. This
is an eel-fishing technique which has hardly changed to the present day. Beside some of the
larger traps, there are the outlines of rectangular, stone-lined ponds, probably to hold fish and
keep them fresh. On the bluffs overlooking the lake, stone circles are all that remain of ancient
dwellings. Not all of the stones were quarried locally. The huts vary in size, but all have gaps for
doorways located on the lee side, away from the prevailing wind. One theory is that the stone
walls were only waist to shoulder high, with the top roofed by branches and possibly packed with
mud. The site presents a picture of a semi-settled people quite different from the stereotype of
nomadic hunter-gatherers of the desert.

The word ‘stereotype’ as used in the above passage means............

A distant culture.

B opposite picture.

C electronic print version.

D standard view.

E None of these.

nomadic hunter-gatherers of the desert.
 Lake Condah is seen as unusual, mainly because ............

A it is so close to a main town.

B there are remains of buildings still to be seen.

C it reveals a society that was at least partly settled and had building and engineering
skills.

D there is evidence that some of the building stone was imported.

E it shows the lake dwellers were totally reliant on fish for a food source.

9. The debate on whether Australia will have a nation-wide carbon trading scheme ended last week
with the government committed to a national emissions scheme from 2012. However, the
decisionmaking as to how we power the economy in a carbon constrained world is only just
beginning. Fossil fuels like coal and oil have underpinned our economic growth and standard of
living for decades. The current resources boom is there because other countries want our fossil
fuels, and for all these reasons it is profitable to keep mining them. Ironically, the income may
help develop the technologies to replace them, but it is a matter of which and when. Almost
certainly, in the race to reduce emissions, new technologies such as solar, wind and geothermal
(heat from rocks) power will compete against gas, clean coal and perhaps nuclear energy to win
the hearts and minds of the business world. In the end, business will favour whatever is a cheap,
abundant and reliable solution. You can imagine the lobbying that will ensue from the different
interest groups, to attract business capital and government support so that their technology wins
out. There may be many collapsed ventures and lost fortunes along the way.

Fossil fuels will be in demand for some time yet because ..............

A we have no other options.

B they are plentiful and cheap in Australia.

C our wealth and lifestyle are at present dependent on them.

D A and B together.

E B and C together.

10. The debate on whether Australia will have a nation-wide carbon trading scheme ended last week

abundant and reliable solution. You can imagine the lobbying that will ensue from the different
 interest groups, to attract business capital and government support so that their technology wins
out. There may be many collapsed ventures and lost fortunes along the way.

In the writer’s view ‘there may be many collapsed ventures’ along the way because ...........

A cheaper fossil fuels will continue to be used for a long time.

B business will favour existing sources, rather than undergoing expensive change.

C carbon emission rules will cripple new energy sources.

D not all the options will be adopted, so the cheaper and more efficient will survive.

E None of these.
