9 SULIT 6 A number of sunken ships have been discovered in the Straits of Malacca. A lot can be learnt about the history of Malaysia from these sunken vessels when they are eventually examined by experts. However, there is always the danger that before the experts are able to examine the contents of these wrecks, groups of individuals will get to them first to see if they hold any treasure. These individuals salvage just a few items from the wrecks because they do not have the necessary tools to remove large quantities from under the sea. 7 Why do the non-experts take only a limited number of things from the sunken ships? A They are not interested to learn from all the treasures. B They wish to focus on the most valuable goods only. C They do not have the right type of equipment. D They want to examine the other items. 8 The word discovered in the extract can be best replaced with A found B learnt C noticed D realised SULIT

If you are indoors 9_ an earthquake, it is very important to stay calm. Drop down on the ground and take 10 under a heavy object like a bed or heavy table. Hold onto the legs of the table so that you will not come out of its shelter. Being under a heavy object will protect you from 11 things. If you are outdoors during an earthquake, stay far away from buildings. The buildings may crack and collapse at any time. 12 you see any glass windows or doors, stay away from them. Glass may break and cut you badly. Next, if you are in a crowded area, do not 13 _ for the nearest exit. Everyone will be doing just that, and 14 will lead to even more injuries. Be calm and take cover under something heavy. Be prepared for aftershocks after the initial earthquake _ 15_ ended. Aftershocks are follow-up earthquakes. They are smaller than the first one, but they are still very dangerous. 9 A at 13 A run B for B ran C until C runs D during D running 10 A guard 14 A grouping B cover B crowding C shield C gathering D defence D assembling 11 A fall 15 A has B falls B had C fallen C have D falling D having 12 A If B After C While D Unless SULIT

11 SULIT 8 Section B [10 marks] Questions Read the following information and answer the questions that follow. Sea Turtles Sea turtles have been on Earth for more than 100 million years. But now they are on the brink of extinction. Sea turtles are found in all the world s oceans except the Arctic Ocean. Although tortoises and turtles belong to the same group of reptiles, there are some differences between them. Unlike tortoises, sea turtles have flippers instead of legs. Besides, they are clawless and cannot withdraw their heads into their shells. The diet of the turtle varies according to the species. Green turtles have jaws adapted for a vegetarian diet and they love sea grasses. Hawksbills have narrow heads and are able to get their favourite food, sponges, from the gaps in the coral reefs. Leatherbacks which have delicate jaws prefer jellyfish. Sea turtles take in only seawater all their lives. Sea turtles spend their entire lives at sea, except when the females come ashore to lay eggs. The adult females often migrate long distances to return to the same nesting beach each year. After laying the eggs, the turtle covers the nest with sand before returning to the sea. After hatching, the young turtles take three to seven days to dig their way to the surface. Sea turtles face many threats and problems. Humans still hunt sea turtles for their meat, shell and eggs. Another major threat to sea turtles is the destruction of their habitat which has resulted in the disturbance of nesting areas. Improper fishing techniques have caused many sea turtles to get caught in fishing nets and drown. The polluted sea is another threat for sea turtles. Leatherbacks, for example, often mistake floating plastic bags for jellyfish and they get choked to death. SULIT

13 SULIT 10 Section C [25 marks] Questions are based on the following passage. 1 Mind over body that best describes Daisuke Nakanishi s ability to cycle over 143,000 km since the beginning of his world tour over a decade ago. He has been using the same trusty bicycle since starting out on his mission in Anchorage, Alaska, way back in He arrived in Malaysia by air from Sri Lanka this year in April, and duly cycled from the KL International Airport to Kuala Lumpur where he spent the night. 2 From here, Nakanishi will be cycling to Johor Baru en route to Singapore, from where he will head to Indonesia. The 39-year-old single, who speaks English, Spanish and a smattering of Portuguese, left Japan on July 23, 1998, to take on the challenge of pedalling across the world. Since then, his twowheeler has been his mobile home. He carries cooking equipment, a sleeping bag, tent and spare parts for his bicycle in seven bags. His cycling gear is made up of only a T-shirt, Bermuda shorts and a hat. 3 On his first visit to Kuala Lumpur, Nakanishi said the city was welldeveloped compared to many others he has pedalled to. I also enjoy the local food. It is very delicious, Nakanishi said during a brief interview at Menara Star where he had cycled to. 4 The Economics graduate from Osaka worked for six years in a construction company after graduating and saved US$50,000 (RM175,000) before embarking on a mission to realise his childhood dream of touring the world on a bicycle and making one million friends. 5 It is simply fascinating to feel the wind on my face when I cycle. I feel so free when I am on my two wheels. I can go anywhere I want, said Nakanishi, who stayed in Petaling Street in his stop here. Moreover, I have visited many countries and I have had the opportunity to learn about people and about their cultures. 6 During his travels, Nakanishi has had the good fortune to meet with world leaders and interesting personalities, such as Nepali president Dr Ram Barav Yadov, football icon Pele, former US president Jimmy Carter, former Polish president Lech Walesa and the late Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to conquer Mount Everest. 7 Made an honorary citizen of Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela and Moldova, the Japanese also endured bad experiences, such as contracting malaria in Kenya and children throwing stones at him in Ethiopia. Nakanishi puts up his tent whenever he wants to call it a day, and in some countries like Chile, the locals invited him to spend the night in their homes SULIT

14 SULIT 11 8 In Europe, the hotel rates are very expensive so I travelled out of the city and slept inside my tent, said the tanned Nakanishi, who confessed to eating all kinds of food in his travels. I find it exciting to try new kinds of food but sometimes, I get very sick due to food poisoning, he added There are countries that Nakanishi wished to visit such as Saudi Arabia and Libya but he was unable to do so because he faced difficulties in getting the visa. In Brazil, his credit card was stolen by a group of drug addicts. He did not realise that his credit card was being stolen as he was sound asleep at that time! Once while he was in Romania cycling past the beautiful countryside, he was attacked by wild gypsies who were camping in the open. His old faithful bicycle breaks down once in a while he has endured 300 tyre punctures and replaced the tyres 76 times as he pedalled through 123 countries in all. 10 In spite of the bad experiences, Nakanishi has never once thought of giving up. In fact, he is looking forward to moving on and seeing other countries. He said he would visit about seven more countries by the year-end before wrapping up his tour. 11 I miss my family very much. My parents and elder brother are waiting for me in Japan. I have not gone home for many years! Sometimes I ll send my family a postcard and keep in touch with them via internet and . However, all the problems that I face are insignificant as compared to the wealth of experience that I have gained in the course of my travels, he said (Adapted from The Star, April 2009) Questions Answer all questions.
