Read the text and answer the following questions.

The Earth was formed about 4.7 billion years ago. The Earth's shape is very close to that of a sphere, not perfectly spherical. The Earth's equatorial diameter is about 12,756 km, which is slightly larger than the polar diameter; about 12,714 km Surface Area of the Earth is 510,065,600 km2 of which 148,939,100 km2 (29.2%) is land and 361,126,400 km2 (70.8 %) is water. The Earth rotates on its axis, an imaginary straight line through its centre. The two points where the axis of rotation intersects the Earth's surface are called as the poles, one of them is called the North Pole and the other is known as the South Pole. One rotation with respect to Sun is completed in 24 hours, called a solar day.

1. When was the Earth created?

2. How is the Earth?

3. What main elements does the Earth include?

4. What are the places of the axis of rotation intersects the Earth‟s surface called?

5. How long is a solar day completed?

VI. Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statement are true (T) or false (F).
Mars, commonly referred to as "the red planet," is the fourth planet from the sun. Its reddish color comes from the high amounts of iron oxide on its surfaco. Mars has surface features similar to those found on the moon and on Earth. It has ranges, volcanic fields, valleys, ice caps, canyons and deserts. Mars is much smaller thàn the Earth. It has approximately half the radius of Earth. Mars orbits the Sun a little further than Earth. Mars takes 686 days to orbit Sun. In other words, the orbital period of Mars is almost twice as long as Earth's orbital period. Many spacecrafts have attempted to visit Mars, the most notable of which was NASA's Mariner 4, the first to.visit in a fly-by in 1965. In 1976, Viking 1 and 2 became the first spacecrafts to conduct successful and sustained landings on Mars. They provided the first color photographs of the "red planet."
32. The red color of the Mars comes from the sand on its surface.
33. The Earth is four times larger than Mars.
34. It takes Mars much longer to orbit the Sun than it does Earth.
35. Viking 1 and 2 were the first spacecrafts to visit Mars.
36. The first color photographs of Mars were provided by Viking landers.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate

Earth, our beautiful home planet, is the only astronomical object to accommodate life as we know it. Scientists believe Earth was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. It is the fifth-largest planet in our solar system. Its equatorial diameter is about 12,074 kilometres. Earth is the third-closest planet to the sun. The distance from Earth to the sun is roughly 149,600,000 kilometres. It takes 365.3 days for Earth to orbit the sun, and 24 hours to rotate on its axis. The surface temperature ranges from -88 to 58°C. Nearly 70 percent of Earth’s surface is covered by ocean, which has an average depth of about 4 kilometres. In 2015 it was estimated that 7.3 billion humans are living on Earth.

Read the dialogue and then decide whether the statements that follow are true or false. Write True or False in your answersheet:

A planet is a body in space that revolves around a star. There are nine planets in our solar system, and these nine planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Planets travel in orbits around their stars . All of the planets of the solar system revolve in elliptical orbits. In other words, their orbits are like large, flat circles. The time that it takes a planet to make one revolution around the sun is called its year. The Greek were the first people to recognize and give names to some of the planets. The word planet comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer. If a person wanders, this means that he goes from one place to another and does not have a home. The Greek thought that the planets “wandered” in the sky. However, modern scientists can predict the movement of the planets very accurately

____ 1/ A planet revolves around the Earth.

____2/ Venus, Mars and Neptune are planets and stars.

____ 3/ The Greek were the first to recognize some of the planets.

____ 4/ The planets in our solar system travel around the sun and in elliptical orbits

VI.Read the passage carefully, tlien decide whot hen the following,statement are true T) or false (F)
There are nine planets in our solar system. These planets each have their atmosphere and environmental conditions. Scientists have been trying to research other planets to see if it is possible for life to exist on the other eight own bodies in space.
Mercury and Pluto are probably the most difficult to research because of their position in the solar system. Mercury is so close to the sun that with our current technology a space shuttle would burn up before it even reached its atmosphere. Pluto is so far away that some scientists believe that it may not even be a planot but a large asteroid or comet. A space shuttle can not trave that far away because it is so far away from the sun that it would freeze.
Many scientists also believe that our solar system is not alone in the uni- with us. It is difficult to know if there is life present elaewhere in the universe. for many years to come. yerse. Many believe there are several other systems that share the uhiverse .The universe is a complex structure of space that may continue to be a mysterey for many years to come
32. There are nine planets in our solar system, besides Earth.
33. It is difficult to study the planet Mercury because it is very close to the sun.
34. We don't know much about Pluto even though we can see it up close
35. Pluto may not be a planet, according to some scientists.
36. Scientists have got enough information about the universe

Point a high-powered telescope at the constellation Cetus, the sea monster, and it is just possible to make out a dim red dwarf star shining in the tail. Although it might seem unspectacular, orbiting around that star is a rocky planet that could hold the answer to whether we are alone in the universe.

Scientists say the planet is a ‘Super-Earth’ which is the best place to look for signs of life outside of the Solar System. Early indications suggest it has an atmosphere, and sits within the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ where it is neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to exist.

And it is only 40 light years from Earth meaning that it could be possible to send a signal. The planet was found by an international team of scientists who have been studying data from European Space Observatory’s High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) instrument which looks for regular changes in brightness of stars, which suggests a planet is passing by in orbit.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D (10 points) "How can I learn English well?" This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you've learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you're a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect. This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you'll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on your way to success in English. What is equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation. 56 In the writer's opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ____________ A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it B. to forget your own native language C. to translate everything into his own language D. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules 57. According to the text, when learning an English lesson it is important to be able to ______________ A. read aloud the language B. memorize all the words you learn in the lesson C. tell what the lesson says in your own words D. remember your mother tongue 58.

A. help you to study English well B. stop you from mastering English C. make English easy to learn D. help you notice mistakes 59. What is equally important is to feel the language. "To feel the language" here means ____________. A. to get knowledge of English by touching B. to be able to read and write English C. to translate English into your own by imagining D. to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language 60. When using English, try to _______________.
