Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 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 bestpreserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System Question 36: The word attained in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A attempted B changed C lost D reached Question 37: The word they in paragraph refers to _ A nuclear reactions B giant planets C terrestrial D substances Question 38: 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 39: 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 40: The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of _ A ammonia B helium C hydrogen D methane Question 41: 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 42: The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 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 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 43 to 50 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 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 have a major disadvantage They usually 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 43: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
