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 from 40 to 49

The Moon has been worshipped by primitive peoples 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 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, 7 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 and the huge meteor crater 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

C a comparison of the Moon and the Earth D what we know about the Moon and its differences to Earth

A to show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere

B to show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity

C to explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites

D to explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering

Question 46 The word “erase” is closest in meaning to

Question 47 A person on the Moon would weigh less than on the Earth because

Question 48 All of the following are true about the Moon EXCEPT

A it has a wide range of temperatures B it is heavier on one side than the other

C it has less effect upon the tides than the Sun D it is unable to protect itself from meteorite attacks

Question 49 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A The Moon is not able to support human life

B If the Moon had no gravitational influence, the Earth would not have tides

C People living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the Moon

D Mars could have been formed in a similar way to the Moon
