Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks.

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 itwas 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 isthe 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 anaverage 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 chancemeteorite 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 36 The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to .

Question 40 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 41 According to the passage, the Moon is _.

Question 42 The word "immense" can be replaced by .

Question 43 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.

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.

An air pollution is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as

to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that

permits continuous changes When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, airpollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled- a far cry from the extensive list of harmful

Trang 4

substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals hasincreased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutantunder certain conditions.

Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found innature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they

became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to

move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting fromhuman activities

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such region, human output may be

dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the

concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase

this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable

health effects at 0 08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of 0 1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm

Question 51 The word "detectable " is closest in meaning to _.

Question 52 The word "localized " is closest in meaning to _.

Question 53 The word "these" in the second paragraph refers to .

Question 54 According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if .

Question 55 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .

A the definition of air pollution will continue to change.

B water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas.

C Most pollutants today can be seen or smelled.

D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities.

Question 56 According to the passage, human- generated air pollution in localized regions .

A will react harmfully with natural pollutants.

B can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants.

C will damage area outside of the localized regions.

D can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants.

Question 57 The word "adversely " is closest in meaning to _.

Question 58 Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

A Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.

B Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.

C One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws.

D To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws.

Question 59 For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air

pollution?

A They have existed since the Earth developed.

B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.

C They're less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.

D They function as part of a purification process.

Question 60 What does the passage mainly discuss?
