As viewed from space, Earth’s distinguishing characteristics are its blue waters and white clouds. Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the planet is the only one in our solar system known to harbor life Circling the sun at an average distance of 149 million km (93 million miles), Earth is the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system
Its rapid spin and molten nicked-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which, coupled with the atmosphere, shields us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming from the sun and other stars Most meteors burn up in the earth’s atmosphere before they can strike the surface The planet’s active geological processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it was formed The earth has a single natural satellite – the moon
61 The main idea of this passage is that
A there are life-supporting characteristics on Earth B the earth is predominantly water
C the earth has no common characteristics with other planets D the earth is the only planet with a moon
62 The word “distinguishing” as it is used in the selection means A elevating in nature
B devastating in nature
C having characteristics like all other planets
(4)A people on planets
B the solar system as a whole
C the earth’s natural satellite – the moon D the harmful radiation from the sun
64 As used in this selection, the word “harbor” is synonymous with
A support B surround C water D include
65 This selection leads one to believe that Earth A never gets hit by meteors
B always gets hit by meteors
C was hit by meteors in some past time period. D may be bombarded by meteors in the near future.
