The most accepted theory about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of the debris from a massive collision with the young Earth about 4.6 billion years ago A huge body, perhaps the size of Mars, struck the Earth, throwing out an Immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth The development of Earth is inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon’s gravitational influence upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effect upon the tides than the Sun does The Moon makes one rotation and completes a revolution around the Earth every 27 days, hours, and 43 minutes This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of mass in the Moon (essentially, it is heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed the Earth’s gravity to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing Earth It is an average distance from Earth of 384,403 km The Moon has no atmosphere; without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and small The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects of atmospheric weathering, tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform the Earth’s surface features are not at work on the Moon In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprint left by an astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance meteorite strike The surface gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth’s Therefore, a man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14 kilograms on the Moon The geographical features of the Earth most like that of the Moon are, in fact, places such as the Hawaiian volcanic craters in Arizona The climate of the Moon is very unlike either Hawaii or Arizona, however; in fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123 degrees C to – 233 degrees C 44 What is the passage primarily about? A A comparison of the Moon and the Earth B The origin of the Moon C The Moon's effect upon the Earth D The Moon and its differences to Earth 45 According to the passage, the Moon is A protected by a dense atmosphere B older than the Earth C composed of a few active volcanoes D the primary cause of Earth's ocean tides 46 The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to _ A equally distributed B orderly C heavier D not uniform 47 Why does the author mention "impact craters"? A to show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere B to explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering C to explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites D to show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity 48 What does the word "it" in paragraph refer to? A the impact B the earth C the moon D the atmosphere 49 A person on the Moon would weigh less than on the earth because _ A of the composition of lunar soil B the surface gravity of the Moon is less C the Moon has no atmosphere D the Moon has no active tectonic or volcanic activity 50 Which of the followings is NOT true about the Moon? A It is heavier on one side than the other B It is unable to protect itself from meteorite attacks C It has less effect upon the tides than the Sun D It has a wide range of temperatures ĐỀ THI THỬ TỐT NGHIỆP THPT 2023 KÌ THI TỐT NGHIỆP TRUNG HỌC PHỔ THƠNG NĂM 2023 Bài thi: NGOẠI NGỮ; Môn thi: TIẾNG ANH SỞ GIÁO DỤC VÀ ĐÀO TẠO HỊA BÌNH - MÃ ĐỀ LẺ Mơn thi: TIẾNG ANH (Đề thi có 04 trang) Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút, không kể thời gian phát đề HƯỚNG DẪN GIẢI CHI TIẾT Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions He doesn't take his father's advice That's why he is out of work now A If he takes his father's advice, he would not be out of work now B If he had taken his father's advice, he would not be out of work now C If he had taken his father's advice, he would not have been out of work now D If he took his father's advice, he would not be out of work now Giải thích: Anh khơng nghe theo lời khun bố Đó lý anh thất nghiệp A Sai phải dùng câu điều kiện loại 2, trái với B Sai phải dùng câu điều kiện loại 2, trái với C Sai phải dùng câu điều kiện loại 2, trái với D Nếu anh nghe theo lời khuyên bố mình, anh không thất nghiệp → Chọn đáp án D She had only just put the telephone down when the boss rang A She put the telephone down and the boss rang B Hardly had she put the telephone down when the boss rang C She had put the telephone down, so she let it ring when the boss rang D The boss rang back, but she put the telephone down Giải thích: Cơ vừa đặt điện thoại xuống sếp gọi điện A Cô đặt điện thoại xuống sếp cô gọi điện B Ngay cô vừa đặt điện thoại xuống sếp gọi điện C Cô đặt điện thoại xuống, nên đổ chng sếp gọi tới D Sếp gọi lại, cô đặt điện thoại xuống → Chọn đáp án B Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best completes each of the following exchanges A woman is talking to a man in the room Woman: "Would you mind closing the window?"
