Read the text carefully , then choose the correct answer according to the text :
In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their historic landing on the surface of the Moon. This momentous trip for
humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study; from rock and soil samples brought back from the
Moon, scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the
development of the Moon from its composition.
The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from
larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon. The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute
approximately half of the Moon soil. Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.
In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon: basalt and
breccia. Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the Earth. Since basalt is formed under extremely high
temperatures, the presence of this type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot.
Breccia, the other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling objects on the surface of
the Moon. This second type of rock consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by the force of impact. Gases, such as
hydrogen and helium, were found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by the
solar wind, the streams of gases that are constantly emitted by the Sun.
40. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for this passage?

45. An "indication" is …………
A. an exhibition B. a clue C. a denial D. a dictate

A. when objects struck the Moon B. from volcanic lava

Read the text carefully , then choose the correct answer according to the text :
Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese
expression for "high water in a harbor". These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they
have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do
result from undersea seismic activity.
Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano, for example,
and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves
can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable
amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow water the coast that they increase in height,
possibly up to 40 meters.
Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well
accustomed to the threat of tsunamis arc Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often
occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often comes with little warning and can
therefore prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near
the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time
for warning of their imminent arrival.
Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when
movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the

heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the
Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the
tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel.

A. tidal waves B. tides C. storm surges D. underwater earthquakes
62. According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that
A. they are the same as tsunamis B. they're caused by sudden changes in high and low tides
C. this terminology is not used by the scientific community D. they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves
63. The world "displaced" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. located B. not pleased C. filtered D. moved
64. It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis
A. cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean B. generally reach heights greater than 40 meters
C. are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean D. are often identified by ships on the ocean
65. As used in the passage, water that is "shallow" isn't
A. clear B. deep C. tidal D. coastal
