Sample Question
The time traveler who survived the test of time People have always been intrigued by the possibilities of time travel, so it is not surprising that one of the most popular science-fiction TV series in the world is about that very subject. Doctor Who, produced by the BBC in the UK, is also said to be the longest-running sci-fi series ever, having started in November 1963 and, after a break of about 15 years from 1989 to 2005, still continues today. It is certainly a widely-loved and much-respected series, which has won awards all over the world and is appreciated by people in over 50 countries. So, why has Doctor Who survived the test of time? One answer is because of the very clever writing involved in creating and continuing the series. Doctor Who is unique in that the central character, ‘the Doctor’, a Time Lord who travels backwards and forwards through time helping people and challenging evil, has had 11 reincarnations. This ability of the Doctor to regenerate himself in another body has been built into the plot to enable different actors to take over the part and allow the character of the Doctor to survive as long as we wish him to. So far, there have been 12 Doctors, the most recent being Peter Capaldi, who took over from the talented Matt Smith in 2014, after first appearing in a cameo in the program's 50th anniversary special in 2013. Doctor Who was originally created for family viewing and has nearly always been shown at prime time on television, usually on Saturday evenings. However, it quickly earned the reputation for being very frightening and in the early days there were complaints that Doctor Who was too scary for children. This side of Doctor Who has also been one of its attractions. As well as the most outrageously monstrous monsters from other planets, with numerous eyes, legs, teeth, etc. the writers also managed to create terrifying villains from the most ordinary sources, such as policemen with blank faces, stone statues in a churchyard and models in a shop window. These stories captured the horror of the familiar becoming sinister. And, of course, no one could ever forget the Doctor’s personal enemies: the Daleks, machine-like robots with scary mechanical voices, threatening to ‘exterminate’ everyone they meet. The series has terrified generation after generation of British children, who traditionally watched the Doctor from ‘behind the sofa’. Surprisingly, Doctor Who was initially intended to be an educational programme as well as entertainment. The Doctor travels back and forward in time, on our planet Earth as well as in outer space. This gave the series scope to set adventures in different time periods and different areas, informing children about history, geography, and science. In the early days, a historical adventure alternated every second week with a future-based one. The Doctor has been seen in the Jurassic period and with great figures from history. In recent times he has returned to the Elizabethan era and also had adventures with Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie, and Vincent Van Gogh. Doctor Who is so much a part of British culture that nearly everyone you ask will be able to hum the theme tune (the first purely electronic theme music to be made), name the time machine (the Tardis), describe and imitate a Dalek and say which actor played the Doctor when he or she was a child. Although absent for a few years, the Doctor now has a whole new following. The creativity of the program's writers and the status of the Doctor as a national hero will ensure that he remains on our screens and in our hearts for a long time to come.

Sample Question
Most icebergs are formed in the waters of the world's polar and subpolar regions. These are the regions in and around the North and South Poles. Icebergs melt as they encounter warmer ocean breezes closer to the equator. This happens with most, but not all, icebergs. One record-setting iceberg managed to travel further from the frigid waters near the poles than any other iceberg has been known to travel. In 1894, an iceberg broke off from Antarctica in the south and began moving slowly northward. It eventually left the very cold water near the pole and entered warmers waters. This unusual iceberg managed to get amazingly close to the equator. It was observed at a latitude of about 26 degrees south of the equator. This is on the same latitude as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is famous for its comfortably warm waters and weather throughout the year. The subject of the passage is
