Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
The Moon has been worshipped by primitive people and has inspired humans to create everything from lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what do we really know about it? The most accepted theory about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of debris from a massive collision with young Earth about 4. 6 million 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 the 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 effects upon the tides than does the Sun. The Moon marks one rotation and completes a revolution around the Earth every 27 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes. This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of mass in the Moon (especially, 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 the Earth. It is an average distance from the 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 are not at work on the Moon. In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprints 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.
The geographical features of the Earth most like those of the Moon are, in fact, places such as the Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona. The climate of the Moon is very unlike either Hawaii or Arizona, though. In fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123 degrees C to - 233 degrees C.
 Question 26. The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to ____.
	A. heavier	B. orderly	C. equally	D. unequally.
Question 27. The word "debris" is closest in meaning to ___.
	A. Moons	B. satellite	C. rubbish	D. Earth.
Question 28. Which of the followings can be inferred from the passage?
	A. People living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the moon.
	B. If the Moon had no gravitation influence, the Earth wouldn't have tides.
	C. The Moon is not able to support human life.
	D. Mars could have been formed in a similar way to Moon.
 Question 29. According to the passage, the Moon is _____.
	A. the primary cause of the Earth's tides	B. composed of a few active volcanoes.
	C. protected by a dense atmosphere	D. older than the Earth.
Question 30. All of the following about the Moon are true EXCEPT____.
	A. it is unable to protect itself from meteor attacks.
	B. It has less effects upon the tides than the Sun.
	C. It has a wide range of temperature.
	D. It is heavier on one side than the other.
 Question 31. What is the passage mainly about?
	A. What we know about the Moon and its differences to the Earth.
	B. The Moon's effects on the Earth.
	C. The origin of the Moon.
	D. A comparison of the Moon and the Earth.
 Question 32. It can be inferred from the passage that a man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would _____.
	A. weigh about 490 kilograms on the Moon	C. weigh approximately 14 kilograms on the Moon	
	B. outweigh on the Moon.	D. weigh nearly as much as on the Moon.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
	Smallpox was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention. Known as a highly contagious viral disease, it broke out in Europe, causing the deaths of millions of people until the vaccination was invented by Edward Jenner around 1800. In many nations, it was a terror, a fatal disease until very recently. Its victims suffer high fever, vomiting and painful, itchy, pustules that left scars. In villages and cities all over the world, people were worried about suffering smallpox.In May, 1966, the World Health Organization (WHO), an agency of the United Nations was authorized to initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to eliminate the disease in one decade. At the time, the disease posed a serious threat to people in more than thirty nations. Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated but eleven years after the initial organization of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field.The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients with active smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards for reporting smallpox assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers. One by one, each small-pox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others and treated. At the same time, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated.By April of 1978 WHO officials announced that they had isolated the last known case of the disease but health workers continued to search for new cases for additional years to be completely sure. In May, 1980, a formal statement was made to the global community. Today smallpox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.
