VIII.Read the passage carefully.Answer the questions
Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon.The best places for houses in a moon town
will be a cave or a tunnel.Underground houses will not be squashed by meteorites that constantly fall on the moon
from outer space. This will be important on the moon, since daytime is so hot that food could be cooked in the
rocks, and the nights get bitterly cold
Pioneer moon homes may be made of airtight plastic that can be blown up like a balloon inside the cave.The
reason for this is that the moon has no air around it . The pioneers will have to take along from the earth the
oxygen masks when they are away from home.But the balloon house itself will be filled with air. Perhaps the
house will have beds,tables,and chairs,built into it. These can be inflated ,too. So people will sleep,eat and work
on air ! Moon-house building will be easy.The moon’s gravity is less than the earth’s. Everything weighs only
one-sixthas much as it does on the earth
46.In a moon town,what is the best place for house ?
47.Will the people on the moon wear oxygen masks when they leave their homes ?

VIII.Read the passage carefully.Answer the questions
The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall started as earth works thrown up for protection by different States. The individual sections
weren’t connected until the Quin dynasty (221-206 BC.).Quin Shihuangdi,First Emperor of Quin began
conscripting peasants ,enemies,and anyone else who wasn’t tied to the land to go to work on the Wall. He
garrisoned armies at the Wall to stand guard over the workers as well as to defend the northern boundaries. The
tradition lasted for centuries, and each dynasty added up to the height, breath,length, and elaborated the design
mostly through forced labor
It was during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) that the Wall took on its present form .The brick and granite
work was enlarged and sophisticated designs were added. The watch towers were redesigned and modern canon
were mounted in strategic areas. The Portuguese had found a ready market for guns and canon in China, one of
the few items of trade that China didn’t already have in abundance.The Ming Emperors, having overthrown the
Hun dominance and expelled Mongol rulers of the North devoted large portions of available material and
manpower to making sure that they didn’t return.
The Wall served well. Only when a dynasty had weakened from within were invaders from the north able
to advance and conquer. Both the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty,1271-1368) and the Manchurians (Qing Danasty
1644-1911)were able to take power,not because of weakness in the Wall but because of weakness in the
government and the poverty of the people. They took advantage of rebellion from within and stepped into the
void of power without extended wars.
46.When was the Great Wall first formed ?

47.Why did Emperor Quin Shihuangdi send armies to the Wall ?
48. In what Dynasty was the Great Wall enlarged,and redesigned ?
49.Who supplied the canon for the watch towers at the Great Wall ?
50.Why was it said the wall served well during wars ?
