VIII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.
Write your answers in the space provided. (10 points)
For centuries, sky watchers have reported seeing mysterious flashes of light on the
surface of the Moon. Modern astronomers have observed the same phenomenon, but no one
has been able to satisfactorily explain how or why the sporadically sparks. However,

reaearches now believe they have found the cause.
Researchers have explained the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by
astronauts during the Apollo missions and have found that they contain vlatile gases such as
helium, hydrogen and argon. The researchers suggest that stray electrons, freed when the rock
crakcs, may ignite these gases. Indeed, lunar rock samples, when fractured in the lab, throw
off sparks.
What causes these rocks to crack to the lunar surface? The flashes are most often seen
at the borders between sunlight and on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensively
heated or cooled. A sudden change in temperature may cause thermal cracking. Another
possibility is that meteors may stike the rocks and cause them to crack. Finally, lunar rocks
may be fractured by seismic events- in other words, by tiny moonquakes.
1. According to`the passage, how long have people been aware of the mysterious light on the
Moon?
A. For the last ten years
B. Since the Apollo missions
C. For hundreds of years D.
For thousands of years

2. According to the passage, the theory that Moon rocks give off sparks when they crack is
supported by………………………………….
A. a telescopic study of the Moon.
B. experiments conducted by astronauts
C. observations made centuries ago D.
an analysis of rocks from the Moon

3. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?


A.Modern astronomers have found out how and why the Moon sparks
B.Researchers now know exactly why the Moon sparks

C.When lunar rocks crack, they throw off sparks.
D. Researchers have no idea why lunar rocks spark.
4. The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to………….
A. Moon rocks

B.researchers

C.Apollo missions

D. gases

5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of cracks?
