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 Gia sư Thành Được www.daythem.edu.vn 4 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 Question 51: The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great Red Spot is _____. A. the only spot of its kind B. not well understood C. among the largest of such spots D. a problem for the planet‘s continued existence Question 52: Paragraph 3 supports which of the following conclusions? A. Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as the Sun. B. Jupiter has a weaker gravitational force than the other planets. C. Scientists believe that Jupiter was once a star. D. Scientists might learn about the beginning of the Solar System by Studying Jupiter. Question 53: Why does the author mention primeval heat in paragraph 3? A. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun B. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets C. To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has D. To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off Question 54: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A. If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to study the planet itself. B. If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal nuclear reactions. C. If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet. D. if Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat. 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 55 to 64 . Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as. For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver‘s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages. Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few. Question 55: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Gestures B. Signs and signals C. Speech D. Communication Question 56: What does the author say about speech? A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors. B. It is the most advanced form of communication. C. It is necessary for communication to occur. D. It is the only true form of communication. Question 57: According to the passage, what is a signal? A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment. B. The most difficult form of communication to describe C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances. D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.

A. prohibit B. intrude C. vary D. improve Question 59: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _______________. A. way B. environment C. function D. signal Question 60: The word “ potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by ______________. A. advanced B. possibility C. organization D. signal Question 61: The word ―intricate‖ in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ________ A. inefficient B. complicated C. historical D. uncertain Question 62: Applauding was cited as an example of ______________. A. a signal B. a sign C. a gesture D. a symbol Question 63: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented? A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols. B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances. C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete. D. Because people wanted new forms of communication. Question 64: It may be concluded from this passage that___________. A. only some cultures have signs, signals, and symbols B. signs, signals, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication C. symbols are very easy to define and interrupt D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture WRITING Part I.
