1. Mirai was invited by JISMO scientists to observe the changes in the aquatic ecosystem in
their experimental ponds. They had three ponds of the same size which have the same
number of fish and aquatic plants. They added a layer of cooking oil to pond B, drained
industrial waste to pond C, and added nothing to pond A as the control pond. After that,
they left the ponds for one week.
After one week, which of the following descriptions is correct about the ponds?
A. Pond B has more fish than pond A because the oil layer prevents the fish from being
hunted by predators.
B. Pond A has more fish than pond C because it has more ammonia as an essential nutrient
for fish growth.
C. Pond B has more fish than pond C because the fish get oxygen from the aquatic plants,
while the fish in pond C are poisoned.
D. Pond C has more fish than pond B because the wastewater sinks to the bottom of pond
C. while the fish in pond B cannot breathe.

3. As the season changes from summer to autumn, the leaves of some trees turn into a vibrant
red-orange color. Those trees are called deciduous
trees, while the trees that remain green regardless of
the season are called evergreen trees. The change of
leaves in deciduous trees is their survival strategy.
A. The temperature becomes cooler in autumn, so the leaves produce red pigments that are
better at absorbing sunlight for photosynthesis.
B. In autumn, trees get less sunlight so the green pigment needed for photosynthesis is
broken down, and the leaves produce new red pigment.
C. The soil becomes drier and there is not enough nitrogen to make the green pigment, so
the leaves produce red pigment for photosynthesis.
D. In autumn, trees get less carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, so the leaves produce red
pigments to absorb more carbon dioxide.

bottle. He put baking soda in the medicine container, then hung it inside a bottle filled with
vinegar. He closed the bottle tightly using a bottle cap attached with a straw as shown in
illustration ②. Finally, he shook the bottle quickly and pointed the straw at the candle flame
to extinguish it.

8. A desert is a barren area on Earth where there is little rain and very dry air. In deserts, very
little water is available to plants and animals. Therefore, it has a small number of vegetation
and only a few animals live there. One well-known example is the Sahara Desert.
Which of the following options correctly describes the temperature in the Sahara Desert
during the day and at night and why?
A. The temperature in the desert is hot during the day and at night because there is no
vegetation to retain moisture to keep the air cool.
B. The temperature in the desert is hot during the day and still warm at night because the
sand absorbs heat during the day and releases it slowly at night.
C. The temperature in the desert is hot during the day and cold at night because most of the
heat is quickly released into the air and there is not enough moisture to retain the heat at
night.
D. The temperature in the desert is hot during the day and still hot at night because the sand
absorbs heat during the day and retains it at night.

1. Nowadays, some buildings use smart windows for their energy management system to reduce
energy consumption. The glass is made of thermochromic material that can adjust between
transparent and opaque, so it lets sunlight pass through or blocks it. This system can reduce the
usage of interior heating and cooling.
