Read the passage and answer the question. On a clear night, stars appear to twinkle, but the stars themselves are not flickering. Their light travels through the Earth's atmosphere, where layers of moving air at different temperatures bend it slightly in changing directions. Because stars are so far away, each one appears as a tiny point, and these small changes make it seem to jump and shimmer. Planets are much closer and appear as tiny discs rather than points, so they usually shine with a steadier light. This is one reason why astronomers build telescopes on high mountains or launch them into space. Why do planets usually twinkle less than stars?

Read the passage and answer the question. Why is the sea salty while most rivers are not? As rain falls and flows over rocks, it dissolves tiny amounts of minerals, including salts. Rivers carry these dissolved minerals to the sea. When sea water evaporates in the heat of the sun, the water rises into the air but the salts are left behind. Over millions of years, this process has slowly increased the amount of salt in the oceans. River water also contains salts, but in amounts far too small for us to taste. Why does the sea remain salty even though water evaporates from it?

Read the passage and answer the question. Why do zebras have stripes? Scientists have proposed many explanations, including camouflage, confusing predators and keeping cool. In recent years, the explanation with the strongest experimental support is that stripes discourage biting flies. In one study, flies landed far less often on horses wearing striped coats than on horses in plain coats. Flies seem to find it hard to slow down and land accurately on striped surfaces. Even so, researchers admit that stripes may serve more than one purpose. What is the writer's final position?

Read the passage and answer the question. Clownfish live among the stinging tentacles of sea anemones, which would kill most other small fish. A layer of mucus on the clownfish's skin protects it from the stings. The partnership benefits both animals: the anemone gives the clownfish a safe home, while the clownfish chases away fish that eat anemones and may provide the anemone with nutrients from its waste. Biologists call a relationship of this kind, in which both partners gain, mutualism. Which of the following is a benefit that the anemone receives?

Read the passage and answer the question. The kakapo of New Zealand is the world's heaviest parrot and one of its strangest. It cannot fly; instead it climbs trees and walks long distances at night. With no land mammals to fear for millions of years, the kakapo developed a simple defence: when danger approaches, it freezes and relies on its green feathers to blend in with the forest. This worked well against birds of prey that hunt by sight, but it was useless against the cats, rats and stoats brought by humans, which hunt by smell. By the 1990s only about fifty birds survived. In the passage, the word 'freezes' means ___.
