TEST

Read the following passage carefully.

Coral reefs are common features along many of the shores of the Caribbean islands. The reefs are made up of countless numbers of skeletons of simple, anemone-like animals, called polyps, which can extract calcium carbonate from the sea and deposit it on their bodies as hard layers of lime. The coral polyps grow in number and complexity until they form the great colonies which make up the limestone rock of the reefs. White coral consists of bleached polyp skeletons, but beneath the sea the living coral are brilliant colours: green, gold and orange. The coral made by the growing polyps varies greatly in form, from huge boulders to tree-like branching colonies. Many other marine creatures can secrete calcium carbonate and they also add their skeletal remains to coral reefs. Since the polyps are unable to move, they need to be exposed to the currents or waves which will bring them their food, small sea creatures which they capture with their tentacles and slimy skin. Corals only develop fully where they capture sunlight and this limits active reef building to depths of less 150 feet and vigorous development to less than 90 feet because there is not enough sunlight at greater depths. In deep water, too. waves and currents are probably less effective in supplying the polyps with food.

SECTION B Read the following passage carefully.

The Concorde plane was an enormous, graceful bird in flight. Its landing wheels were about four

feet in diameter. Remarkably, its reached a top seen of about 690m.p.h. It passed the test to fly

passengers in 1947 and its first supersonic passenger plane flew 19 years later in 1976. The regular

Concorde destinations were: London, Paris, New York and Barbados. The Concorde first came to Barbados

in 1977 to take Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth 11 back to England. Since Barbados was one of the four

regular destinations to which the Concorde traveled, it was for this reason after the Concorde fleet was

retired in 2003, British Airways loaned Concorde G-BOAE to the people of Barbados in recognition of

the role that the island played in Concorde’s success.

This tremendously imposing state of the art machinery is located in very close proximity to the Grantley

Adams International Airport. The aircraft is resting at The Concorde Museum which was designed under

the sponsorship of the Barbados Hotel Association, Goddards Shipping and Tours and the Barbados Museum.

The Concorde experience, as it is called, is a thrill to behold. When patrons visit the Museum they get an

opportunity to fly the Concorde in a simulation exercise. It is said that although this is not a real experience

it sends sensations throughout the whole body as one guides the plane along the runway on a screen in the

forefront. This is indeed a most interactive experience which should be enjoyed by everyone.

TEST Read the following passage carefully.

The outer layer of the earth’s surface is called the crust. The crust is made up of fifty

to eighty kilometres thick plates that carry the continents and sea floor. To best understand

plates, think about some crackers (biscuits) floating to the surface on some hot milk. The crackers,

like the plates, will move and rub against each other. At times, a cracker may move under or above

another causing the hot milk to rise to the surface.

Beneath the plates (crust) there are molten rocks call magma. These plates rub each other, pull

apart and crash head on causing earthquakes and volcanoes. A volcano is formed when magma gushes

past the plate above.

Lava shoots out of the volcano in a fantastic display like fireworks. Lava can ooze quickly or slowly

depending on the amount of silica in it. Silica is the main ingredient in sand. Lava rich in silica will

move slowly but silica-poor lava can form a gushing hot river that will spread for many miles before

cooling and hardening. Volcanoes are destructive.

questions below. Use correct spelling and grammar.

TIME: Clock Face And Angles

Do you remember angles in a circle and the name given to the size of an angle?

Discuss angles quickly with your teacher.

The Minute Hand: When the minute hand moves from 12 to 12, it has made a complete turn or a revolution.

We say that it has travelled for 1 hour. Therefore 60 minutes = 3600.

Since (1 hour) 60 minutes = 3600 Then 1 minute = 3600 ÷ 60

= 60

When the minutes hand moves 1 minute, it has covered 60 Example 1: Through how many degrees does the minute hand of a clock travel in 11minutes?

Solution: In 60 minutes the minute hand travels 3600

In 1 minute it travels (3600 ÷ 60) = 60

in 11 minutes it will travel ( 60 x 11)

Example 2: Solution:

How many minutes are equal to 2400? = 1 minute

60 2400

= (2400 ÷ 6)

OR

= 40 minutes Whatever is done on the left hand side must be done on the right hand side.

Example 3: Through how many degrees does the minute hand turn from 8.20am to 8.45 am?

Solution:

8.20am to 8.45 am = 25 mins 1 min 25 mins

= 60 - (60 x 25) - 1500

Look at the information to the right. Tell your teacher what you have noticed.

(answer in 12 hr time) Time Differences Countries across the world are located in different time zones and so, the time varies from one country to another or in some cases even within the same country.

For example: When it is 10a.m in Barbados, it is 9 a.m. in Jamaica.

Barbados’ time is one hour ahead of the time in Jamaica, or Jamaica’s time is one hour behind the time in Barbados.

The time within large land masses such as North America may also vary from city to city.

For example when it is 3p.m in San Francisco it is 6p.m in Atlanta.

Let us look at some problems related to time differences experienced in different countries.

Example 1:

A cricket match started at 10 a.m in England. If the time in England is 5 hours ahead of the time in

Barbados, what time was it in Barbados when the match started?

Solution:

Since the time in England is ahead of the time in Barbados, when it is 10 a.m. in England, it is an earlier

time

in Barbados. We must therefore subtract to find the answer.

Time in England at the start of match = 10 a.m.

Time ahead of Barbados

= 5 hours

Time in Barbados at start of match = (10.00 – 5.00) = 5.00 a.m.

p.m.
