III. read the following passage and answer the questions that follow

move the fastest among the fixed stars, requires 200 years to noticeably alter its position by a distance equal to the
moon's diameter. Compared to planets, which seem to be continuously shifting, stars appear stationary in their positions
and relative distances from other bodies in a constellation. Astronomers employ spectrographs and photometers to keep
track of perpetually shifting constellations. By using the spectrographs and photographs obtained over decades,
scientists are able to detect changes in the proper motions of stars. By computing the differences in the spectra length,
color, and shade of color, they can predict the direction of a star's movement in the near and distant future. A classical
example is the cup of the Big Dipper, which is open quite a bit more widely now than it was 40,000 years ago. According
to the spectrograph-based projections, 50,000 years from now the opening will be so expansive that the constellation will
no longer resemble a dipper.

A. the uses of spectra for projections B. various fixed constellations and stars
C. the classification of planets and stars D. the emergence and motions of stars

A. stars revolve every 40,000 to 50,000 years B. stars alter their trajectories every 200 years

V.Read the following passage and answer the question

Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to the soil to provide chemical elements essential for plant nutrition so

that the yield can be increased. Natural substances such as animal droppings, ashes from wood fires, and straw have
been used as fertilizers in fields for thousands of years, and lime has been used since the Romans Introduced It during
the Empire. It was not until the nineteenth century however, that chemical fertilizers became widely accepted as normal
agricultural practice. Today, both natural and synthetic fertilizers are available in a variety of forms.

A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three numbers, such as 4-8-2 or 6-6-4, which
designate the percentage of content of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the order stated. Synthetic fertilizers,
produced by factories, are available in either solid or liquid form. Solids, in the shape of chemical granules, are in
demand because they are not only easy to store but also easy to apply. Recently liquids have shown an increase in
popularity, accounting for about 20 percent of the nitrogen fertilizer used throughout the world. Formerly, powders were
also used, but they were found to be less convenient than either solids or liquids.

Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the consumer as long as they are used according to
recommendations based on the results of local research. Occasionally, however, farmers may use more fertilizer than
necessary in which case the plants do not need and therefore do not absorb, the total amount of fertilizer applied to the
soil. The surplus of fertilizer thus can damage not only the crop but also the animals or human beings that eat the crop.
Furthermore, fertilizer that is not used in the production of a healthy plant is leached into the water table. Accumulations
of chemical fertilizer in the water supply accelerate the growth of algae and, consequently may disturb the natural cycle
of life, contributing to the death of fish. Too much fertilizer on grass can cause digestive disorders in cattle and in infants
who drink cow's milk. Fertilizer must be used with great attention to responsible use or it can harm the environment.

56. With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?

A. Local research and harmful effects of fertilizer B. Advantages and disadvantages of liquid fertilizer
C. A formula for the production of fertilizer D. Content, form and effects of fertilizer

57. The word essential in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by which of the following?

III. read the following passage and answer the questions that follow

The term "fixed star" refers to stars whose positions do not seem to change relative to other stars. As stars are
constantly moving, their patterns alter gradually, but the difference may not appear significant over a period of 50 or 70
years, because, unlike planets, stars are located at a great distance from the earth. Barnard's star, which is considered to
move the fastest among the fixed stars, requires 200 years to noticeably alter its position by a distance equal to the
moon's diameter. Compared to planets, which seem to be continuously shifting, stars appear stationary in their positions
