B. Read the following passage and then choose the best answer by writing the letter A, B, C or D on the
answer sheet.

Line Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10, 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
(5) Moon as well as to draw interferences 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 the large 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.
(10) 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
4
 the Moon: basalt and breccia. Basalt is 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
(15) 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 solar
wind, the streams of gases that are constantly emitted by the Sun.

1. The paragraph preceding the passage most likely discusses.............

A. astronaut training B. the inception of the Apollo space program
C. a different space trip D. previous Moon landings.

C. Tiny pieces of stones and glass D. Stream of gases
5. Which of the following was NOT brought back to the Earth by the astronauts?
A. Basalt B. Soil C. Breccia D. Plant life
6. An “indication” in line 14 is...................
A. an exhibition B. a clue C. a denial D. a dictate
7. 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.

A. were not originally from the Moon B. were created inside the rocks

A. describe some rock and soil samples
B. explain some of the things learned from space flights
5
C. propose a new theory about the creation of the Moon
D. demonstrate the difference between basalt and breccia
10. 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 do 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.
C. Read the passage and choose the best answer to fill in the blank:
The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous length of
time (1) ............................... We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more understandable. We can compare
the planet Earth to a person of forty six years of age.
(2) ............................Very little information exists about the middle period either. It was only at the age of forty

he has increased his numbers to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of
animals. He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoilt
child, delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all
the life which exists in the solar system.
