Question
6. According to paragraph 5, "trace amounts of plutonium and neptunium have been found naturally as well."
From this sentence, trace most closely means:
a. Outline
b. A very small amount
C. Mark
d. Hint
(6) "All elements with larger proton numbers have been created artificially in nuclear reactions," says the
Helmholtz Center for Heavy lon Research in Germany, where the Swedish scientists made element 115. That
means more than two dozen of all the known elements were artificially created.
(7) Why create elements that disappear in a flash? Scientists hope one day to make one that doesn't, thus
creating a brand new lasting element, Popular Science magazine reports.
(8)But for this particular element, the researchers assert on their website, "any practical implications are
seemingly far-fetched." The Swedish scientists have not given element 115 a name yet. Until they do, it has a
temporary name: "Ununpentium." That may be harder to memorize than "element 115," but it is a scientific
term made from Latin and Greek that basically means 1-1-5.
7. Describe the main ideas of paragraph 6 and 7.
8. Provide an accurate summary of the text as a whole. (Explain the development of Ununpentium- element
115.)
