VI.Read the passage and answer the questions by circling the letter A,B,C or D
of the correct answer:
The moon is the second brightest object in the sky after the sun . It is the only natural
satellite of the earth and orbits around it. It has a diameter of about 3,476 kilometers
and has many craters on its surface. These were formed by meteor crashes millions
of years ago. It takes the moon 27,3 days to make one orbit around the Earth and the
same period of time to complete one rotation on its axis.
The moon is the only celestial body that has been visited by human beings. One
reason is that the moon is much closer to the Earth to the other planets ; it estimated
that the moon is about 240,000 miles from the Earth. We can see it clearly from the
Earth with naked eyes. Because it is close to us, the gravitational forces between the
earth and the moon cause some interesting effects. The most obvious is the tides.
Under the graviational effect of the moon, the water in the earth’s oceans, as they are
fluid, is pulled toward the moon. This causes tides when the level of the sea rises and
falls.
46. According to the passage, what is true about the moon ?
A-The moon is one of the natural sattelites of the earth.
B-The sun is the only object in the sky that is brighter than the moon.

C-The moon’s diameter is less than 3,000 kilometers.
D-The moon orbits around the sun.
47. How long does it take the moon to complete a rotation on its axis ?
A- 27,3 days. B- 23,7 days. C-more than 27,3 days. D-less than 23,7 days.
48. The word “ celestial” in the first line of paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
which of the following ?
A-eartly B-faraway C- space D- strange
49. What causes tides on the earth ?
A-The gravitational effects between the earth and the moon.
B- The movements of the oceans.
C-The gravitational effects of the sun on the earth.
D- The close distance between the earth and the moon.
50. What can be inferred from the second paragraph ?
A- Man can not visit any other planets than the moon.
B-Man will one day live on the moon.
C-Tides are the only effect that the moon has on the earth.
D- Other planets apart from the moon are more than 240,000 miles from the earth.
