SECTION A: READING (Oral)
I. The Wonders of Space Exploration
Space exploration has fascinated humans for centuries.
From observing the night sky to sending spacecraft beyond our planet, humans
have always sought to understand the universe. Over the past few decades,
technological advances have allowed us to explore planets, moons, and even
distant galaxies.
Satellites orbit Earth and help us in many ways, such as
predicting weather, studying climate change, and providing communication
networks. Space probes have travelled to Mars, Jupiter, and other celestial
bodies, sending back valuable information about their atmosphere, surface, and
potential for life.
Astronauts living aboard space stations experience unique
challenges. They must adapt to microgravity, limited resources, and confined
spaces, all while conducting important scientific experiments. Their work helps
us better understand human physiology, improve technology, and prepare for
future missions to the Moon or Mars.
Despite these achievements, space exploration comes with
risks. Rockets can malfunction, equipment can fail, and astronauts face health
challenges due to prolonged exposure to space. However, the knowledge gained
and the inspiration it provides make space exploration a worthy pursuit.
A. Choose the correct option: (7×1 = 7m)
- Why do humans explore space?
a) To travel for tourism
b) To understand the universe
c) To escape Earth
d) To find treasure - How do satellites help Earth?
a) By collecting soil samples
b) By studying planets only

stations?
a) Too much sunlight
b) Microgravity and confined spaces

d) Heavy rainfall - Why is space exploration considered risky?
a) Earthquakes on planets
b) Rocket malfunctions and health challenges
c) Lack of oxygen on Earth
d) Satellites explode in the sky - What have space probes contributed to our knowledge?
a) Only images of stars
b) Detailed information about planets and moons
c) Entertainment for humans
d) Maps of Earth only - Why is the study of human physiology in space
important?
a) To make astronauts famous
b) To understand how the body adapts to space
c) To replace doctors on Earth
d) To avoid sleeping in space - Which of the following is a benefit of space
exploration?
a) Increased space debris
b) Knowledge, technological progress, and inspiration
c) Only expensive costs
d) Fewer stars in the sky
B. Write brief answers to the following questions: (3×1 = 3m)
- How do astronauts adapt to life in microgravity?
- Mention one way satellites help us in daily life.
- Why is space exploration considered worthwhile
despite risks?
II. Read the following poem
carefully:
The Gift of Kindness
A gentle word can heal a heart,
A simple smile can light the dark.
When we reach out, though small it seems,
We sow the seeds of others’ dreams.
Kindness is a gift we freely share,
A chain of love that shows we care.
No act is wasted, no gesture small,
Together they rise, creating a call.
Through storms of life and trials we face,
Kindness brings hope, restores grace.
It asks for nothing, yet gives so much,
A quiet strength, a gentle touch.
