Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions  

   Archimedes’s Principle is a law of physics that states that when an object is totally or partially immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. The principle is most frequently applied to the behavior of objects in the water, and helps to explain floating and sinking, and why objects seem lighter in water. It also applies to balloons.

  The key word in the principle is “upthrust”, which refers to the force acting upward to reduce the apparent weight of the object when it is underwater. If, for example, a metal block with a volume of 100 cm3  is dipped in water, it displaces an equal volume of water, which has a weight of approximately 1 N (3.5 oz). The block, therefore, seems to weigh about 1 N less.

  An object will float if its average density is less than that of water. If it is totally submerged, the weight of the water it displaces (and hence the upthrust on it) is greater than its own weight, and it is forced upward and out of the water, until the weight, if water displaced by submerged part is exactly equal to the weight of the floating object. Thus a block of wood with a density six tenths that of water will float with six-tenths of its volume underwater since at that point the weight of the fluid displaced is the same as the block’s own weight. If a dense material is made into a suitable shape, it will float because of Archimedes’s principle. A ship floats, whereas a block of iron of the same mass sinks.

  It is also because of Archimedes’s principle that ships float lower in the water when they are heavily loaded (more water must be displaced to give the necessary upthrust). In addition, they cannot be so heavily loaded if they are to sail in fresh water as they can if they are to sail in the sea, since fresh water is less dense than seawater, and so more water must be displaced to give the necessary upthrust. This means the ship is lower in the water, which can be dangerous in rough weather.

     From “Archimedes’s Principle”, Microsoft Student 2008 [DVD]. Microsoft Corporation, 2007.

What happens when something is immersed in a fluid?
  • It will be pushed further down with a force, equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose.

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States.

Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius, and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way.

In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons. This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people.

Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.

Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West.

Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is worth a thousand words.”

Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?
  • Originality, freshness, and astonishment.
  • Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism.
  • Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness.
  • Seriousness, propagande, and attractiveness.

Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of ______.

  • educating ordinary people
  • spreading Western ideas

The major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western cartoons come from their ________.

  • purposes

  • values
  • styles
The passage is intended to present________.
  • a contrast between Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons
  • an opinion about how cartoons entertain people
  • a description of cartoons of all kinds the world over
  • an outline of Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons

In general, Chinese cartoons are now aiming at ________.

  • illustrating the truth of Chinese great men’s famous sayings
  • bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people in the world
  • spreading the Chinese ideas and cultural values throughout the world
  • disseminating traditional practices in China and throughout the world

The word “imbalance” in paragraph 6 refers to ________.

  • The mismatch between the East cartoons and the West cartoons
  • the influence of the East cartoons over the West cartoons

  • A Very Powerful Force in Influencing People
  • Cartoons as a Way of Educating People
  • Chinese Cartoons and Western Cartoons
  • An Excellent Way of Spreading Propaganda
