A B C D Read the text carefully , then choose the correct answer according to the text : In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their historic landing on the surface of the Moon. This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study; from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon, scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition. The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon. The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil. Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil. In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon: basalt and breccia. Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the Earth. Since basalt is formed under extremely high temperatures, the presence of this type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot. Breccia, the other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling objects on the surface of the Moon. This second type of rock consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by the force of impact. Gases, such as hydrogen and helium, were found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by the solar wind, the streams of gases that are constantly emitted by the Sun. 40. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for this passage? A. The Apollo Astronauts B. Soil on the Moon C. What the Moon Is Made Of D. Basalt and Breccia 41.

Large chunks of volcanic lava C. Tiny pieces of stones and glass D. Streams of gases 43. The word "spherical" is closest in meaning to A. earthen B. circular C. angular D. amorphous 44. Which of the following was NOT brought back to the Earth by the astronauts? A. Basalt B. Soil C. Breccia D. Plant life 45. An "indication" is ………… A. an exhibition B. a clue C. a denial D. a dictate 46. According to the passage, breccia was formed A. when objects struck the Moon B. from volcanic lava C. when streams of gases hit the surface of the Moon D. from the interaction of helium and hydrogen 47. It is implied in the passage that scientists believe that the gases found in the Moon rocks A. were not originally from the Moon B. were created inside the rocks C. traveled from the Moon to the Sun D. caused the Moon's temperature to rise 48. The word "emitted" is closest in meaning to A. set off B. vaporized C. sent out D. separated 49. The author's purpose in this passage is to A. describe some rock and soil samples B. explain some of the things learned from space flights C. propose a new theory about the creation of the Moon D. demonstrate the difference between basalt and breccia 50. It can be inferred from the passage that A. the only items of importance that astronauts brought back from the Moon were rock and soil samples B. scientists learned relatively little from the Moon rock and soil samples C. scientists db not believe that it is necessary to return to the Moon D. rock and soil samples were only some of a myriad of significant items from the Moon.

A. expected B. unexpected C. expecting D. unexpectedly Read the text carefully , then choose the correct answer according to the text : Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for "high water in a harbor". These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity. Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano, for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow water the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters. Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis arc Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often comes with little warning and can therefore prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival. Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel. 61. The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses A. tidal waves B. tides C. storm surges D. underwater earthquakes 62. According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that A. they are the same as tsunamis B. they're caused by sudden changes in high and low tides C. this terminology is not used by the scientific community D. they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves 63. The world "displaced" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A. located B. not pleased C. filtered D. moved 64. It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis A. cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean B. generally reach heights greater than 40 meters C. are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean D. are often identified by ships on the ocean 65. As used in the passage, water that is "shallow" isn't A. clear B. deep C. tidal D. coastal 66. A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan are more likely to A. arrive without warning B. be less of a problem C. come from greater distances D. originate in Alaska 67. The possessive "their" in the third paragraph refers to A. the Hawaiian islands B. thousands of miles C. these tsunamis D. the inhabitants of Hawaii 68. A "calamitous" tsunami in the last paragraph is one that is A. expected B. at fault C. extremely calm D. disastrous 69.
