VI/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 56 to 60 .
Probably the most important factor governing the serenity of forest fires is weather. Hot, dry
weather lowers the moisture content of fuels. once a fire has started, wind is extremely critical because it
influences the oxygen supply and the rate of spread. Forest type and forest conditions are also important
factors. For example, fire is more likely to occur in conifers than in hardwoods; slash-covered or brushy
areas are especially hazardous because the rate at which combustion consumes fuels is proportional to
fuel volume and surface area.
Some fires are caused by lightning; others are caused by people. Those caused by people may be
accidental or intentional ( incendiary). The causes of fire in the United States show large regional
differences. In the Rocky Mountains more than 70 percent of the fires are caused by lightning, whereas
incendiary fires amount to only about 1 percent. In contrast, more than 40 percent of the fires in the
South are incendiary, whereas lightning causes only 1 percent.

VII/ 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 61 to70
According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an
inhospitable planet, more similar to Earth’s Moon than to Earth it self – a dry , stark , seemingly lifeless
world. Mars’ air pressure is equal to Earth’s at an altitude of 100,000 feet. The air there is 95 percent
carbon dioxide.
Page 4 of 8
Code:126
Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun’s lethal radiation. Daytime temperatures may reach
above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates
back into space . Even at the equator, the temperature drops to -50C ( -60F ) at night. Today there is no
liquid water, although valleys and channels on the surface show evidence of having been carved by

running water. The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon dioxide , and water may be frozen
in the ground as permafrost.
Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of trans-
forming Mars into a more Earth-like planet. Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and
eventually build up the atmosphere. This in turn could create a “ greenhouse effect ” that would stop
heat from radiating back into space. Liquid water could be thawed to from a polar ocean. Once enough
ice has melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of oxygen in the atmosphere so
that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human colonies. “ This
was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher McKay, a research
scientist at NASA . “ But now it’s starting to look practical. We could begin word in four or five
decades.”
The idea of “ terra-forming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction. But as
researchers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they have
begun to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars. Don’t plan on homesteading on
Mars any time soon, though. The process could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete
and the cost would be staggering.
61. The phrase “ more profound” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. more up-to-date B. brighter
C. deeper D. more practical
62. According to Christopher McKay, the possibility of transforming Mars____.
A. could be started in forty to fifty years.
B. is completely impractical.

A. The advantages of establishing colonies on Mars.

D. The need to study the Martian ecology.
65. The word “there” in paragraph 2 refers to
A. the Earth’s Moon B. a point 100 miles above the Earth
C. outer space D. Mars

A. The sun’s rays are deadly.
B. Daytime temperatures are dangerously high.
