equator, the temperature drops to -50C ( -60F ) at night. Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on the
surface show evidence of having been carved by running water. The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon
dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost.
Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of trans-forming Mars into
a more Earth-like planet. Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and eventually build up the atmosphere. This
in turn could create a “greenhouse effect” that would stop heat from radiating back into space. Liquid water could be
thawed to from a polar ocean. Once enough ice has melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of
oxygen in the atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human
colonies. “This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher Mckay, a research scientist
at NASA. “But now it’s starting to look practical. We could begin word in four or five decades.”
The idea of “terra-forming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction. But as researchers
develop a more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they have begun to see how it may be
possible to create similar conditions on Mars. Don’t plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though. The process
could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost would be staggering.

Question 41.With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The possibility of changing the Martian environment. B. The challenge of interplanetary travel.
C. The advantages of establishing colonies on Mars. D. The need to study the Martian ecology.

A. harsh B. unknown C. dark D. distant
Question 43. The word “there” in paragraph 2 refers to.
A. a point 100 miles above the Earth B. the Earth’s Moon C. Mars D. outer space
Question 44. Which of the following does the author NOT list as a characteristic of the planet Mars that would make
colonization difficult?
A. There is little liquid water. B. Daytime temperatures are dangerously high.
C. The sun’s rays are deadly. D. Night time temperatures are extremely.
Question 45. According to passage, the Martian atmosphere today consists mainly of.

Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellite
technolog y and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipment for scientists
doing research on the great oceans of the world. Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and their mental
concentration was severely limited. Because undersea pressure affects their speech organs, communication among
divers has always been difficult or impossible. But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human
divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human life and make direct observations by means of instruments that are
lowered into the ocean, from samples take from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites. Direct
observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep -diving submarines in the water and even
by the technology of sophisticated aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles
and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In addition, radio -equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in
order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories via satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are data
about water temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and
cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the color of
the ocean's surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore,
computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze data from submarines and satellites. By
creating a

model of the ocean's movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean
on the environment.
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or
even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and more effectively.
Some of humankind's most serious problems, especially t h ose concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help
of observations made possible by this new technology.

Question 61. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?


C. A model of the ocean's movements D. The location of sea ice
Question 60. The words those refers to
A. ships B. vehicles C. problems D. computers 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 questions from 71 to 80.

Public transport plays a central role in any (71) ________ urban transport system. In developing (72)____________
where at least 16 cities are expected to have more than 12 million people each by the end of this decade, failing to give
priority to public transport would be (73) ________ . The term ‘public transport’ covers many different types of vehicles,
but most commonly refers to (74) ________ and trains. Rail services fall into four major categories, rapid rail (also called
the underground, tube, metro, or subway), which operates on exclusive rights-of-in (75) ________ or on elevated tracks;
trams, which more with other traffic on regular
(76) ________; light rail, which is a quieter, more modern version of trams that can run either on exclusive rights-
of-way or with other traffic; and suburban or regional trains, which (77) ________ a city with surrounding areas. The recent
trend in many (78) ________ is toward light rail over ‘heavy’ rapid rail systems. Whereas metros require exclusive rights-
of-way, which often means building costly elevated or underground lines and stations, light rail can be build on regular city
streets.
Public transport modes vary in fuel use and emissions and in the space they require, but if carrying reasonable (79)
