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.
The Planets of Jupiter
The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s, contains
more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet
without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal
temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its
own right. Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial
planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane,
unlike terrestrial planets. Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen,
Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which
exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the
properties of a metal. Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic
like the core of Earth.
Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours. As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of
frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet
at different speeds in different latitudes. Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the
Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size
(the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years.
Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat
generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another star like characteristic of Jupiter
is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with
distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more
massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and

with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System.
Question 45: The word attained in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. attempted
B. changed
C. lost
D. reached
Question 46: The word they in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
A. nuclear reactions
B. giant planets
C. terrestrial
D. substances
Question 47: According to the passage, hydrogen can become a metallic-like liquid when it is _____.
A. extremely hot
B. combined with helium C. similar atmospheres D. metallic cores
Question 48: According to the passage, some scientists believe Jupiter and Earth are similar in that they
both have _____.
A. solid surfaces
B. similar masses
C. similar atmospheres D. metallic cores
Question 49: The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of _____.
A. ammonia
B. helium
C. hydrogen
D. methane
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that the appearance of alternating bands circling Jupiter is
caused by _____.
A. the Great Red Spot
B. heat from the Sun
C. the planet’s fast rotation
D. Storms from the planet’s Southern Hemisphere
