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 question s from 45 to 54.
Ancient people made clay pottery because they needed it for their survival. They used the pots
they made for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place. Pottery was so important
to early cultures that scientists now study it to learn more about ancient civilizations. The more
advanced the pottery in terms of decoration, materials, glazes and manufacture, the more advanced the
culture itself.
The artisan who makes pottery in North America today utilizes his or her skill and imagination
to create items that are beautiful as well as functional, transforming something ordinary into something
special and unique.
The potter uses one of the Earth's most basic materials, clay. Clay can be found almost
everywhere. Good pottery clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that would
make the potting process difficult. Most North American artisan-potters now purchase commercially
processed clay, but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work.
The most important tools potters use are their own hand; however, they also use wire loop tools,
wooden modeling tools, plain wire, and sponges. Plain wire is used to cut away the finished pot from
its base on the potter's wheel.
After a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it is placed in a kiln and fired. The
first firing hardens the pottery, and it is then ready to be glazed and fired again. For areas where they
do not want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later burn

off in the kiln. They then pour on the liquid glaze and let it run over the clay surface, making any kind

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 question s from 55 to 64.
The Moon has been worshipped by primitive peoples 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 it was formed of the debris from a massive
collision with the young Earth about 4.6 billion 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 Earth is inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon's gravitational influence

upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides. In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effect
upon the tides than the Sun does. The Moon makes 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 (essentially, 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 Earth. It is an average distance
from 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
features are not at work on the Moon. In fact, even tiny surface features such as the footprint left by an
astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless obliterated by a chance
meteorite strike. The surface gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth's. Therefore, a
man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14 kilograms on the Moon.
The geographical features of the Earth most like that 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, however; in fact the temperature on the Moon ranges between 123
degrees C. to -233 degrees C.
55. The word "uneven" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. equally distributed
B. orderly
C. heavier D. not uniform
56. A person on the Moon would weigh less than on the Earth because _____.
A. the Moon has no active tectonic or volcanic activity

B. the surface gravity of the Moon is less
C. of the composition of lunar soil
D. the Moon has no atmosphere
57. According to the passage, the Moon is _____.
A. protected by a dense atmosphere
B. composed of a few active volcanoes
C. older than the Earth
D. the primary cause of Earth's ocean tides
58. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The Moon is not able to support human life.
B. People living in Hawaii and Arizona would feel at home on the Moon.
C. If the Moon had no gravitational influence, the Earth would not have tides.
D. Mars could have been formed in a similar way to the Moon.
59. The word "erase" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. change
B. impact
C. obliterate
D. erupt
60. All of the following are true about the Moon EXCEPT _____.
A. it has a wide range of temperatures
B. it is unable to protect itself from meteorite attacks
C. it has less effect upon the tides than the Sun
D. it is heavier on one side than the other
61. The word "massive" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. impressive
B. dense
C. huge
D. unavoidable
62. The word "debris" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. rubbish

B. earth
C. satellites
D. moons
63. Why does the author mention "impact craters"?
A. to show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere.
B. to explain the corrosive effects of atmospheric weathering.
C. to explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites.
D. to show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity.
64. What is the passage primarily about?
A. the Moon's effect upon the Earth.
B. a comparison of the Moon and the Earth.

A friend is very important to everyone. In fact, it’s impossible to live without friends. In my
opinion, there are three basic qualities that lay the firm foundation for friendship. Firstly, mutual help.
A good friend is always ready to give us a hand in any situations. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
We shouldn’t be too deliberate in helping. Secondly, mutual confidence. Friends must feel safe when
telling each other the most secrets. Obviously, liars and talkative people can never have good friends.
Thirdly, talking about true friendship, I can’t help mentioning the faithfulness and sharing. A true
friend is the one who will cheer to our happiness and share our sorrows in adversity. In short, the

value of friendship is that gives us a source of happiness and comforts our sufferings and a true
friendship will be forever although we are rich or poor.
