5-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Ancient China was ruled by emperors who kept order and
maintained حافظ على harmony انسجام as China prospered ازدهرت and Chinese
culture flourished ازدهرت. The nomadic tribes such as the Mongols
traded horses to their Chinese neighbors for things they could not
produce themselves such as grain, silk and iron. The great differences
between the two cultures often led to أدى الى conflict صراع. When the
nomads could not get what they wanted by trading, they would steal and
plunder يسلب from the Chinese. Different emperors throughout the ages
had different ways of dealing with the nomads. Some tried making peace
treaties, some sent soldiers to fight the nomads بدو and some tried to
encourage rules and
regulations نظم for trading between the two cultures. Other emperors built walls to keep the nomadic invaders غزاة out of China.
Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China, created a
unified موحد China by conquering the Warring متحاربة States. In order to
defend his new unified country

(13)
against invading
nomads, he built the first long wall in China. More than 800,000
soldiers, peasants فلاحين and prisoners worked for 10 years to build it.
Over the years, the wall fell into ruins and other walls were built by
other emperors to keep out invaders. In 1449, the Mongols attacked
China. The Chinese decided to build a wall to keep invaders out. The
routes that the Mongols used to reach China were blocked تم سدها with
walls. Those walls were then connected with other sections of wall, thus
creating the Great Wall of China.

3- How did Qin Shi Huangdi defend China against invading nomads?

a) China b) the first long wall in China
c) unified China d) the emperor

6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Many people believe that the legend that there is a curse on
the tomb of Tutankhamon. The tomb of Tutankhamon was discovered by lord
carnarvon in 1920. He died from blood poisoning three months after
opening the tomb. No one would have thought his death had anything to do
with the tomb if it had not been for a letter from the writer Marie
Corelli to the New York World newspaper. In this letter, she said that
she owned a book which told the story of the curse. Not long after the
death of lord carnarvon, an American, who had caught a cold while
visiting the tom, also died.
As time passed, the list of
people who had been punished by the curse grew and for many people there
is too much evidence for the story to be ignored. However, a number of
facts have been forgotten. In 1982, an American policeman who had a
heart attack claimed it was because he had spent time looking after the
Tutankhamon Exhibition in San Francisco. He was not believed when it was
discovered that another man who had actually slept in the tomb while
guarding it for seven years was not only alive but in a good health.
Thus the idea of the curse was proved to be a fallacy.

A) Give short answers to the following questions:
