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.

A. attempted

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.

Part II:
Model
Conservation concerns men’s safeguarding and preservation of natural resources and his
responsibility for improving the environmental conditions in which he lives. An important task
of conservation is the prevention of waste – waste of forests, soil, minerals, wildlife and human
life. Trees help to preserve land because their roots bind the soil and retain water. Without
trees, heavy rains will cause soil erosion. Forest conservation also means the prevention of
bush fires and the attention to planting and looking after new, young trees. Not only should
man preserve forests but he should also realize the importance of wildlife protection. Unless
governments have a good system of control or pass laws restricting the hunting, eradicating of
rare animals and plants, they slowly disappear. Natural resources such as coal, gas and mineral
ores are limited but the need for them is growing day by day. Therefore, man should use them
widely on the one hand, and look for alternative fuels on the other hand.
