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.
The elements other than hydrogen and helium exist in such small quantities that it is accurate to say that the universe is
somewhat more than 25 percent helium by weight and somewhat less than 75 percent hydrogen.

Astronomers have measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other galaxies as well. Helium has been
found in old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars. Helium nuclei
have also been found to be constituents of cosmic rays that fall on the earth (cosmic rays are not really a form of radiation;
they consist of rapidly moving particles of numerous different kinds). It doesn`t seem to make very much difference where
the helium is found. Its relative abundance never seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more of it; in
others, slightly less, but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.
Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are responsible for most of the energy
that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that could have been produced in this manner can be calculated, and it
turns out to be no more than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significantly
greater. Consequently, if the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it must have been about 25 percent
helium at a time near the beginning.
However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed. Calculations indicate that before
this time temperatures were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the oneminute point that helium could exist. By this time, the universe had cooled so sufficiently that neutrons and protons could
stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formations of helium went on for only relatively short time. By the
time the universe was a few minutes old, helium production had effectively ceased.
Question 3: The creation of helium within stars........
A. produces energy
B. produces hydrogen as a by-product
C. cannot be measured
D. causes helium to be much more abundant in old stars than in young stars
Question 4: Most of the helium in the universe was formed........
A. before most of the hydrogen
B. in interstellar space
C. in a very short time
D. during the first minute of the universe`s existence
Question 5: What does the passage mainly explain?
A. Why hydrogen is abundant.
B. How stars produce energy.
C. When most of the helium in the universe was formed. D. The difference between helium and hydrogen.
Question 6: According to the passage, helium is........

A. the second-most abundant element in the universe.
B. the most prevalent element in quasars.
C. difficult to detect.
D. the oldest element in the universe.
Question 7: Why does the author mention "cosmic rays"?
A. To explain the abundance of hydrogen in the universe.
B. To explain how the universe began.
C. As an example of an unsolved astronomical puzzle.
D. As part of a list of things containing helium.

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.
A little more than a hundred years ago, a number of European scholars began to record stories being told in peasant cottages
and compile them into the first great collections of European folk tales. Written evidence exists to prove that the folk tales
they recorded existed long before then though. Collections of sermons from the 12 th to the 15th century show that medieval
preachers knew of some of the same stories as those recorded by the 19 th century folklorists.
The collections of folk tales made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries provide a rare opportunity to make contact with the
illiterate masses who have disappeared into the past without leaving a trace. To reject folk tales as historical evidence because

they cannot be dated and situated with precision like other historical documents is to turn one’s back on one of the few points
of entry into the previous centuries. But to attempt to penetrate that world is to face a daunting set of obstacles, the greatest of
which is the impossibility of listening in on the story tellers. No matter how accurate they may be the versions of the tales
recorded in writing cannot convey the effects that the storytellers must have used to bring the stories to life: the dramatic
pauses, the sly glances, the use of gestures to set scenes, and the use of sounds to punctuate actions. All of those devices
shaped the meaning of the tales, and all of them elude the historian. He cannot be sure that the limp and lifeless text he holds
between the covers of a book provides an accurate account of the performance that took place in earlier times.

D. They are used as historical evidence.

B. a rare opportunity to contact with the people who couldn’t read and write.

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.
The elements other than hydrogen and helium exist in such small quantities that it is accurate to say that the universe is
somewhat more than 25 percent helium by weight and somewhat less than 75 percent hydrogen.
Astronomers have measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other galaxies as well. Helium has been
found in old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars. Helium nuclei
have also been found to be constituents of cosmic rays that fall on the earth (cosmic rays are not really a form of radiation;
they consist of rapidly moving particles of numerous different kinds). It doesn`t seem to make very much difference where
the helium is found. Its relative abundance never seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more of it; in
others, slightly less, but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.
Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are responsible for most of the energy
that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that could have been produced in this manner can be calculated, and it
turns out to be no more than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significantly
greater. Consequently, if the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it must have been about 25 percent
helium at a time near the beginning.
However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed. Calculations indicate that before
this time temperatures were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the oneminute point that helium could exist. By this time, the universe had cooled so sufficiently that neutrons and protons could
stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formations of helium went on for only relatively short time. By the
time the universe was a few minutes old, helium production had effectively ceased.
Question 3: The creation of helium within stars........
A. produces energy
B. produces hydrogen as a by-product
C. cannot be measured
D. causes helium to be much more abundant in old stars than in young stars
Question 4: What does the passage mainly explain?
A. Why hydrogen is abundant.
B. How stars produce energy.
C. The difference between helium and hydrogen.

D. When most of the helium in the universe was formed.
Question 5: Why does the author mention "cosmic rays"?
A. As an example of an unsolved astronomical puzzle.
B. To explain how the universe began.
C. To explain the abundance of hydrogen in the universe.
D. As part of a list of things containing helium.
Question 6: According to the passage, helium is........
A. difficult to detect.
B. the second-most abundant element in the universe.
C. the most prevalent element in quasars.
D. the oldest element in the universe.
Question 7: The word "vary" is closest in meaning to........
A. mean
B. change
C. stretch
D. include
Question 8: The word "constituents" is closest in meaning to........
A. causes
B. targets
C. components
D. relatives
Question 9: The word "they" refers to.........
A. cosmic rays

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.
A little more than a hundred years ago, a number of European scholars began to record stories being told in peasant cottages
and compile them into the first great collections of European folk tales. Written evidence exists to prove that the folk tales
they recorded existed long before then though. Collections of sermons from the 12 th to the 15th century show that medieval
preachers knew of some of the same stories as those recorded by the 19 th century folklorists.
The collections of folk tales made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries provide a rare opportunity to make contact with the
illiterate masses who have disappeared into the past without leaving a trace. To reject folk tales as historical evidence because
they cannot be dated and situated with precision like other historical documents is to turn one’s back on one of the few points
of entry into the previous centuries. But to attempt to penetrate that world is to face a daunting set of obstacles, the greatest of
which is the impossibility of listening in on the story tellers. No matter how accurate they may be the versions of the tales
recorded in writing cannot convey the effects that the storytellers must have used to bring the stories to life: the dramatic
pauses, the sly glances, the use of gestures to set scenes, and the use of sounds to punctuate actions. All of those devices
shaped the meaning of the tales, and all of them elude the historian. He cannot be sure that the limp and lifeless text he holds
between the covers of a book provides an accurate account of the performance that took place in earlier times.

A. They contain historical inaccuracies.
B. There is no way to tell which version of a story is the original system.
C. They are used as historical evidence.
D. They don’t preserve the original performance style of the storytellers.
Question 39: What do the collections of folk tales made in the late 19th and early 20th century provide the historians?
A. kinds of stories and books that are popular then.
B. lot of information about famous people in the past.
C. a rare opportunity to contact with the people who couldn’t read and write.

C. 19th century preachers. D. 19th century folklorists.

somewhat more than 25 percent helium by weight and somewhat less than 75 percent hydrogen.
Astronomers have measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other galaxies as well. Helium has been
found in old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars. Helium nuclei
have also been found to be constituents of cosmic rays that fall on the earth (cosmic rays are not really a form of radiation;
they consist of rapidly moving particles of numerous different kinds). It doesn`t seem to make very much difference where
the helium is found. Its relative abundance never seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more of it; in
others, slightly less, but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.
Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are responsible for most of the energy
that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that could have been produced in this manner can be calculated, and it
turns out to be no more than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significantly
greater. Consequently, if the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it must have been about 25 percent
helium at a time near the beginning.
However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed. Calculations indicate that before
this time temperatures were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the oneminute point that helium could exist. By this time, the universe had cooled so sufficiently that neutrons and protons could
stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formations of helium went on for only relatively short time. By the
time the universe was a few minutes old, helium production had effectively ceased.
Question 43: What does the passage mainly explain?


A. How stars produce energy.
B. The difference between helium and hydrogen.
C. Why hydrogen is abundant.
D. When most of the helium in the universe was formed.
Question 44: Most of the helium in the universe was formed........
A. during the first minute of the universe`s existence
B. in interstellar space
C. in a very short time
D. before most of the hydrogen
Question 45: The creation of helium within stars........

A. produces hydrogen as a by-product
B. cannot be measured
C. produces energy
D. causes helium to be much more abundant in old stars than in young stars
Question 46: The word "they" refers to.........
A. cosmic rays
B. radiation

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.
A little more than a hundred years ago, a number of European scholars began to record stories being told in peasant cottages
and compile them into the first great collections of European folk tales. Written evidence exists to prove that the folk tales
they recorded existed long before then though. Collections of sermons from the 12 th to the 15th century show that medieval
preachers knew of some of the same stories as those recorded by the 19 th century folklorists.
The collections of folk tales made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries provide a rare opportunity to make contact with the
illiterate masses who have disappeared into the past without leaving a trace. To reject folk tales as historical evidence because
they cannot be dated and situated with precision like other historical documents is to turn one’s back on one of the few points
of entry into the previous centuries. But to attempt to penetrate that world is to face a daunting set of obstacles, the greatest of
which is the impossibility of listening in on the story tellers. No matter how accurate they may be the versions of the tales
recorded in writing cannot convey the effects that the storytellers must have used to bring the stories to life: the dramatic
pauses, the sly glances, the use of gestures to set scenes, and the use of sounds to punctuate actions. All of those devices
shaped the meaning of the tales, and all of them elude the historian. He cannot be sure that the limp and lifeless text he holds
between the covers of a book provides an accurate account of the performance that took place in earlier times.

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.
The elements other than hydrogen and helium exist in such small quantities that it is accurate to say that the universe is
somewhat more than 25 percent helium by weight and somewhat less than 75 percent hydrogen.
Astronomers have measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other galaxies as well. Helium has been
found in old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars. Helium nuclei
have also been found to be constituents of cosmic rays that fall on the earth (cosmic rays are not really a form of radiation;
they consist of rapidly moving particles of numerous different kinds). It doesn`t seem to make very much difference where
the helium is found. Its relative abundance never seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more of it; in
others, slightly less, but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.

Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are responsible for most of the energy
that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that could have been produced in this manner can be calculated, and it
turns out to be no more than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significantly
greater. Consequently, if the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it must have been about 25 percent
helium at a time near the beginning.
However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed. Calculations indicate that before
this time temperatures were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the oneminute point that helium could exist. By this time, the universe had cooled so sufficiently that neutrons and protons could
stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formations of helium went on for only relatively short time. By the
time the universe was a few minutes old, helium production had effectively ceased.
Question 3: Why does the author mention "cosmic rays"?
A. As an example of an unsolved astronomical puzzle.
B. As part of a list of things containing helium.
C. To explain the abundance of hydrogen in the universe.
D. To explain how the universe began.
Question 4: According to the passage, helium is........
A. the second-most abundant element in the universe.
B. the most prevalent element in quasars.
C. the oldest element in the universe.
D. difficult to detect.
Question 5: What does the passage mainly explain?
A. The difference between helium and hydrogen.
B. When most of the helium in the universe was formed.
C. How stars produce energy.
D. Why hydrogen is abundant.
Question 6: The creation of helium within stars........
A. cannot be measured
B. produces energy
C. produces hydrogen as a by-product
D. causes helium to be much more abundant in old stars than
in young stars

Question 7: The word "vary" is closest in meaning to........
A. mean
B. include
C. stretch
D. change
Question 8: Most of the helium in the universe was formed........
A. during the first minute of the universe`s existence
B. in interstellar space
C. in a very short time
D. before most of the hydrogen
Question 9: The word "constituents" is closest in meaning to........
A. causes
B. targets
C. relatives
D. components
