THE SUGGESTED PLAN

5. Underline keywords  Match key words as you read
6. Do sets of questions (i.e. Q1-13, Q27-40)
7. Transfer the answers of each passage (section) 1 min MAX
8. Check spelling, word count, grammar mistakes (articles, plural...)
UNIT 8: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
*READING (P.85-87)
1. YES (... despite the fact that both fields of interest involve what might be referred to as
'scientific exploration'.)
2. NO (The reason for this dichotomous existence is chiefly historical. The exploration of the
Earth has been occurring over many centuries, and the institutions created to do it are often
very different from those founded in the second part of the 20th century to explore space.This
separation is also caused by the fact that space exploration has attracted experts from mainly
non-biological disciplines - primarily engineers and physicists - but the study of Earth and its
environment is a domain heavily populated
3. NOT GIVEN (The text mentions governments and money, but nothing is said about
how much they allocate to each type of research.)
UNIT 8: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
*READING (P.85-87)
4. NO (. .. those involved in space exploration can provide the satellites to
monitor the Earth's fragile environments, and environmentalists can
provide information on the survival of life in extreme environments.)
5. NOT GIVEN (The Foundation is mentioned, but there is nothing
about the timing of its establishment.)
6. C (. .. another approach is to enhance the value of the forests ... This
novel approach is now making
the protection of the forests a sensible economic decision.)
UNIT 8: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
*READING (P.85-87)
7. A (... to locate mounds, or 'tels', containing artefacts and remnants
of early civilisations.These collections are being used to build a
better picture of the nature of the civilisations that gave birth to
astronomy.)
8. D (... they provide longevity for the objectives of the Foundation.)
9. B (The writer's tone is explanatory; there are no requests for
support, nothing has changed about the Foundation's work,
and there is no reference to any criticisms of the
Foundation's work.)
UNIT 8: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
*READING (P.85-87)
10. B (This may include the use of remote environments on Earth, as well as
physiological and psychological studies in harsh environments.)
11. H (... to study the psychology of explorers subjected to long-term isolation in caves
in Mexico.)
12. A (Space-like environments on Earth help us understand how to operate in the
space environment or help us characterise extraterrestrial environments for future
scientific research.)
13. D (The crater, which sits in high Arctic permafrost, provides an excellent replica of
the physical processes occurring on Mars ...)

14. G (. .. and possibly biological potential ofMars.)
