Question

Attacked by a Shark (I) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. I had just dived off my paddleboard to go spear fishing when the lights went out. I heard this loud noise like a garage door slamming and it was completely dark. Suddenly I saw these big white things. I thought they were pieces of fiberglass - that a boat had just hit me. When I touched them, I realized they were teeth. The shark had told of my head. When he clamped into me, it was an awful crunch. His teeth were like razors. I was hanging out of the side of his mouth and his front teeth were buried through my cheekbones and nose. But it didn’t hurt - not until later. He didn’t take me down; he took me out of the water, about a metre. I saw we were moving sandpapery feel. I went berserk. I started pounding on him. I don’t know if that was what made him let loose, but if he had finished the bite, I would have had no brain. The shark went underneath me and I saw a part of his head. It was wider than my shoulder. I swam back to my board, blood pouring out of my face. They flew me to a hospital. I caught my reflection in the helicopter window - I looked like mince. I ended up with thirty or forty stitches in the front and twenty - eight or thirty in the back. Now I’ve got one bad scar near my eye and another across my nose, but they’ve faded down and fit into the wrinkles. Answer these Questions: - 1. What does the writer compare the shark’s teeth with? 2. What made the shark let go of the writer’s head? 1 3. What would have happened if the shark had continued to bite? 4. What happened to the scars on the writer’s face? (II) Read the snippets on the planets of the Solar System. Then answer the questions that follow: The Earth is the planet on which we live. It is also known as the blue planet. The first thing that star’s out is it blue colour. It is the only planet where water exists in liquid form. The Earth’s atmosphere consists of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases. The Earth is a very active planet. The Earth’s crust is divided into great plates which are pushed by slow currents. At the bottom of the Atlantic Occean where the crust is the thinnest, a new crust is forming. When the plates in the other regions of the Earth collide, they cause earthquakes. The Earth is not an isolated planet. It has a satellite of its own, known as the Moon, which stands out for its size. Its diameter is one fourth the size of the Earth. Very close to the Earth is the planet Mars. It was thought that Mars, the red planet, was inhabited by the ‘Martians’, who had built an extensive network of ‘canals’ on the planet’s surface. It has since been confirmed that there are no canals and there has been no intelligent life on Mars. It has since been confirmed that there are no canals and then; has been no intelligent life on Mars. It has two satellites, Phobos and Deimos - small irregular bodies. Mars has been explored by interplanetary probes. The Viking probes landed on its surface in 1976. There are big mountains on the surface of mars; Mount Olympus is the highest at 78,000 feet. It is an ancient volcano much higher than any other mountain on Earth. At present the only mass of water that exists is in the form of ice. It is in the polar caps. Mars has a very thin atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide. Each Martian Year leads to the changing of seasons that bring enormous dust storms. Likewise, there are many interesting facts about the planet Venus too. Venus is the planet that comes closest to the Earth and shines very brightly in the sky. The surface temperature on Venus is about 860°F which is 400ºC. The atmosphere is very dense. Its surface cannot be observed directly because the planet is permanently covered with a thick layer of clouds. Venus is a planet which is geologically active and probably has active volcanoes. There are mountains higher than the Everest. The Russian interplanetary probes called Venera landed on the surface of Venus. It shows images of flat terrain covered with rocks. 1. Give one word for the following- 1. Name the highest mountain on Mars……………………….. 2. Name the plane ton which life exists………………………. II. Why do earthquake take place? III. What happens in each Martian year? IV. Why is Venus considered to be geologically alive? V. Complete the following sentences. 1. Mars has very thin atmosphere composed…………………………. 2. The satellite of Earth is………
