Attention, all students:
In the last two weeks, several students have been caught violating the school’s dress code. On account of that, I would like to
list which clothes are acceptable and which are not.
Boys must wear long pants and button-down shirts. These shirts must have collars since all boys have to wear neckties as well.
Furthermore, boys must wear either dress shoes or nice shoes. Sneakers, sandals, jeans, shorts, T-shirts, sleeveless shirts,
tank tops, and other similar casual articles of clothing are not allowed.
Girls must wear slacks or skirts as well as blouses. All skirts must go down below the knees of the students wearing them. Girls
may also wear dresses so long as they are not too formal. The clothes that are prohibited for boys may also not be worn by
girls.
Students who violate the dress code will be sent to their homes to change and be given detentions or suspensions. Multiple
violations of the dress code will result in them being sent to the principal’s office.
We insist that all students comply with the dress code. Should you have any objections to the school’s dress code, I am willing
to speak with you about them.

Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 36 to 42.
Virtually any night of the year, a person can look up at the sky and see the moon. The moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. It
takes slightly more than twenty-seven days for it to orbit Earth. And it does so from a little more than 380,000 kilometers away.
Despite being Earth’s closest celestial neighbor, there is much about the moon that scientists do not know.
For instance, no one is exactly sure when the moon was formed. Earth is estimated to have been created around 4.5 billion
years ago. No later than 100,000 years after that, the moon was in orbit around Earth. Yet the remains: How did the moon
form? There are several theories, but astronomers have thus far failed to prove any of them correct.The most widely accepted
idea is the collision theory. It states that the moon formed when an object crashed into Earth. According to this hypothesis,
when Earth was first created, it had no satellite. But, at some point in time, an object approximately the size of Mars collided
with Earth. This caused part of the planet to break off. The largest part eventually transformed into the moon.Another theory is
that Earth and the moon formed at the exact same time billions of years ago. However, many astronomers discount this theory.
They point out that Earth and the moon are comprised of different substances. They claim that if the two bodies were formed at
the same time, then they should be composed of the same materials.Yet, as an example of their differences, the moon has less
iron than Earth does.A third theory proposes that the moon formed somewhere else in the solar system. As it wandered past
Earth, it was captured by Earth’s gravity and began to orbit the planet. A fourth theory declares that, when it first formed, Earth
spun much more rapidly than it does at the present time. Due to its swift rotation, part of the crust was stripped away from the
planet and cast into space. This material then formed the moon.
Each of the theories has its supporters and detractors. Thus far, however, no astronomer has been able to prove one theory
while disapproving all of the others.
