QUESTION ONE
A. Read the following paragraph topics.Then skim read the text and write the number of the paragraph next to the correct topic:
a ( ) Producing penicillin as a medicine.
b ( ) Penicillin helps with new discoveries.
c ( ) The discovery of penicillin.
d ( ) Fleming sees something very interesting.
e ( ) Beginning research at St. Mary’s Hospital.
f ( ) The first 21 years.
1 /Alexander Fleming was born on a farm in Scotland in 1881. When he was thirteen, he went to live with his brother, who was a doctor in London. In 1902, Fleming passed the university examinations and was able to become a student. An uncle had left him some money when he died, so he had enough money to pay for his studies. He went to medical school at St. Mary’s Hospital. This was part of the University of London.
2 /After the First World War, Fleming specialized in bacteriology, the study of bacteria. In 1924 he became professor of bacteriology at St. Mary’s Hospital. The hospital was famous for research in bacteriology and Dr. Fleming continued the research. He wanted to find a substance that would attack harmful bacteria. He had to find something that was harmless to the people with the bacteria.
3 /In 1928, he was studying the bacteria that caused a painful skin disease. He was growing these bacteria on small plates, so he could study them. One day, he noticed that some mould was growing on the plate. The microscope showed that the bacteria near the mould had died.
4 /Dr. Fleming took the mould and put it with more bacteria of the same kind. These germs were also destroyed. He continued his experiments for many years. His research showed that the substance killed germs and was a powerful antibiotic. He also showed that it was harmless to people. He called the substance penicillin.
5 /Dr. Fleming was a great bacteriologist, but he did not have as much knowledge of biochemistry. He had to wait until 1940 for biochemists to find a way of producing penicillin as a chemical substance. After this, penicillin could be used as a medicine. This research was done by two biochemists at the University of Oxford.
6 /Penicillin has saved many lives in the world. This is the reason that Alexander Fleming was given the Nobel Prize. The discovery of penicillin also showed the
way for the discovery of other wonderful substances that fight germs. We now have antibiotics that deal with almost all known bacteria, and they can be used on animals and plants as well as on people.

QUESTION SIX
A. Translate into Arabic
People believe that we should explore space simply because we have the means to do so, while scientists hope that space exploration will answer many questions about the universe, such as how the sun, the planets and the stars were formed and whether life exists else where. They believe that space is one big laboratory for experiments. The first satellite carried scientific instruments which were used to measure things like magnetism and radiation around the earth. Later, space stations where scientists work for some months were lunched.
