V. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
There is one planet that still fascinates and teases scientists mainly because it doesn’t have an atmosphere
to obscure observation, yet it is not big enough for sufficiently accurate telescopic observation. The fact that it
is also very close to the sun also makes it difficult for astronomers.
However, space telescopes have told US a lot more about Mercury. It is rather similar to Earth’s moon
and to Mars. There are mountainous areas dotted with craters and large valleys which are uncratered. The
moon’s valleys have fewer cracks and ridges are smoother. Mercury’s valleys are filled with volcanic rocks,
similar to on the moon, yet there is no evidence of volcanoes, even extinct ones, on Mercury, as there is on the
both Mars and the moon, and of course here on Earth.
So, scientists presume the valleys on Mercury were caused by different things, that is to say not by
volcanoes, but by very large meteorites, which also caused the cracks in the terrain and left the ridges rough
and uneven. More and better photos of Mercury are needed to prove what are at present at best only
hypotheses.
29. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The planet, Mercury. B. Observation of planets.
C. The Earths moon. D. Astronomers’ difficulties.
30. Why does Mercury still tease scientists?
A. Because it has an atmosphere which obscures observation.B. Because it is too close to the sun.
C. Because it is too small. D. Because it is difficult for space probes to get close to.
31. What is true about Mercury but not true about the moon or Mars?
A. The valleys are filled with volcanic rocks. B. There are no volcanoes.
C. The valleys are uncratered. D. There are hilly regions.
32. What does the author imply space telescopes can do better than land-based telescopes?
A. Show the volcanoes on Mercury. B. Show the meteorites which hit Mercury.
C. Show what caused Mercury syalleys. D. Show more of the planet, Mercury.
33.What can we infer from the passage that astronomers still need to get more detailed observation of Mercury?
A. Better and more space telescopes. B. More hypotheses.
C. Larger space telescopes. D. More ways to prove hypotheses.
VI. Rewrite each of the following sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the provided sentence.

Part IV. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each of the following
questions.
I get a lot of letters at this time of the year from people complaining that they have a cold which won’t go
away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold that it’s often difficult to know
what to do. Although colds are rarely dangerous, except for people who are already weak, such as the elderly
or young babies, they are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course, you can buy lots of
medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually
cure a cold or make it go away faster. Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you
feel better could be dangerous if you are already taking drugs for some other illness, so always with your
chemist or doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy – please
don’t try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding colds is concerned, whatever you may be told about
magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy – you’ll have less chance of catching a
cold, and if you do, it shouldn’t be so bad!
21. This is from__________ .
A. doctor’s notebook B. a diary
C. a magazine D. a school biology book
22. What is the writer’s intention?
A. to write in an amusing way B. to give general advice
C. to complain about colds D. to describe personal experience
23. Who should talk to the doctor before buying medicine for a cold?
A. People who are already weak. B. People who catch a bad cold?
C. People who drive to work. D. People who are already taking drugs.
24. What is the writer’s opinion of ‘magic food and drink’?
A.The writer believes in it. B. The writer doesn’t believe in it.
C. The writer is concerned about it. D. The writer is interested in it.
25. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Colds are not very often dangerous. B. Colds cannot be cured or prevented.
C. Colds are uncomfortable and unpleasant. D. Colds might make you sleepy.

The bee, like the ant, is a social insect. Bees live in groups in a hive, and every bee does certain work
that helps the other members of the group. In a beehive there are three kinds of bees: the queen bee,
the drones, and the workers. The worker bees go from flower to flower collecting nectar, or juice,
which is composed mostly of sugar mixed with water. Bees draw this nectar into the honey sacks of
their bodies, and enzymes in their bodies turn the nectar into honey. This newly made honey flows
slowly from the underside of the bees and is stored in cells in the hive to be used as food during the
winter months. Some people are in the honey business and keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers
remove honey from the hives and pack it in bottles or jars. Honey usually appears as a clear golden-
colored liquid, but this depends on the kind of flower from which the bees have taken the nectar.

A. Use it to build their hives C. Give it to the queen bee.
