Question One: Reading Comprehension ( 11 points)
-Read the following text carefully and then answer all the questions below:

Do you ever wonder how aeroplanes and ships reach their destinations without getting lost? The
history of science shows us that it's more than just luck! Astronomers studied the universe for a
long time and found ways to map the Earth by looking at the stars. Muslim astronomers, like Al
Fazari and Al Khawarizmi, changed the way we understand our planet, and others, like Ibn Al
Shatir, showed us how to navigate it. Ibn Al Shatir invented both the magnetic compass and the
sundial. These inventions allowed people to find their way to Mecca more easily, and even to know
the times for prayer throughout the day. Today, aeroplanes and ships use the compass for
navigation.
