5-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Many experts believe there are too many people in the world. Unless there are big changes in the way people think about the number of children they should have, the world’s population will double in 25 years. There will be more than 20 cities with populations greater than 20 million. Now there is only one.
Some people point to countries such as Australia and say, “There is plenty of room there.” Although most of Australia is unpopulated, and much of it is tiny populated, there are reasons for this. Firstly, much of the land is desert and waterless, and secondly, even the land that is not desert is not suitable for anything, not even growing grass. Another major problem we shall have to face as the world’s population grows, is a shortage of energy. We are using up coal and oil and when they have been used up, we shall have to find something to take their place. It is true that we can make electricity from the heat of the sun and moving
water, but we don’t yet have the technology to do this in a big way. Perhaps, the biggest problem we shall have when the world’s population doubles will be pollution. The air we breathe is already badly polluted.
A- Give short answers to the following questions:
1- How many present cities have a population of over 20 million?
2- According to the passage, why is a great area of Australia unpopulated?

c) electricity and moving water d) population and pollution
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
It is difficult to believe that less than a 150 years ago, we could not switch on lights in our homes when it went dark. People who wanted to work or study at night had to use gas or oil lights. Electric light bulbs were invented in 1879 by Thomas Edison, who also helped produce the system of getting electricity from where it was generated to where it was used.
Edison was a very intelligent man, but when he was at school his teachers did not realize this. He had to leave school at the age of seven because he asked too many questions. His mother realized that he only asked questions because he was interested, so she educated him at home.
The General Electric Company, which Edison started, still supplies most of the electricity in North America today.
