Questions 46-55 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
Europa is the smallest of planet Jupiter's four largest moons and the second moon out from Jupiter Until 1979, it was just another astronomy textbook statistic Then came the close-up images obtained by the exploratory spacecraft Voyager 2, and within days, Europa was transformed - in our perception, at least - into one of the

from far away Even at close range, the only visible features are thin, kinked brown lines resembling cracks in an eggshell And this analogy is not far off the mark
The surface of Europa is almost pure water ice, but a nearly complete absence of craters indicates that Europa's surface ice resembles Earth's Antarctic ice cap The eggshell analogy may be quite accurate since the ice could be as little as a few kilometers thick - a true shell around what is likely a subsurface liquid ocean that, in turn, encases a rocky core The interior of Europa has been kept warm over the core by tidal forces generated by the varying gravitational tugs of the other big moons as they wheel around Jupiter The tides on Europa pull and relax in an endless cycle The resulting internal heat keeps what would otherwise be ice melted almost to the surface
The cracklike marks on Europa's icy face appear to be fractures where water or slush oozes from below Soon after Voyager 2's encounter with Jupiter in 1979, when the best images of Europa were obtained, researchers advanced the startling idea that Europa's subsurface ocean might harbor life Life processes could have begun when Jupiter was releasing a vast store of internal heat Jupiter's early heat was produced by the compression of the material forming the giant planet Just as the Sun is far less radiant today than the primal Sun, so the internal heat generated by Jupiter is minor compared to its former intensity During this warm phase, some 4.6 billion years ago, Europa's ocean may have been liquid right to the surface, making it a crucible for life
46 What is the main topic of the passage?
A The effect of the tides on Europa's interior B Temperature variations on Jupiter's moons
C Discoveries leading to a theory about one of Jupiter's moons D Techniques used by Voyager to obtain close-up images 47 Which of the followings best describes Europa?
A It's the second biggest and last from Jupiter B It's the smallest and first from Jupiter
C It's the fourth in size and the second moon from Jupiter D It's the third in size and the second in distance from Jupiter
48 The word "intriguine" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
A changing B perfect C visible D fascinating
49 The author mentions "cracks in an eggshell" in order to demonstrate
A visualize Europa as scientists saw it in the Voyager images
B appreciate the extensive and detailed information available by viewing Europa from far away C understand the relationship of Europa to the solar system
D recognize the similarity of Europa to Jupiter's other moons 50 According to the passage, astronomy textbooks prior to 1979
A provided many contradictory statistics about Europa B considered Europa the most important of Jupiter's moons
C did not emphasize Europa because little information of interest was available D did nor mention Europa because it had not yet been discovered
51 What does the author mean by stating that "this analogy is not far off the mark"?
A The definition is not precise B The discussion lacks necessary information
C The differences are probably significant D The comparison is quite appropriate
52 Which of the fallowings Europa and Antarctica have in common?
A Both appear to have a surface with many craters B Both may have water beneath a thin, hard surface
C Both have an ice can that is melting rapidly D Both have areas encased by a rocky exterior
53 The word "endless" is closest in meaning to
A new B final C temporary D continuous
54 According to the passage, what is the effect of Jupiter's other large moons on Europa?
A They prevent Europa's subsurface waters from freezing B They prevent tides that could damage Europa's surface
C They produce the very hard layer of ice that characterizes Europa
D They assure that the gravitational pull on Europa is maintained at a steady level
55 According to the passage, what is believed to cause the thin lines seen on Europa's surface?
A A long period of extremely high tides B Water breaking through from beneath the surface ice

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail
56 What is possibly the main topic of the passage?
A The mass migration of ants B How ants mark and follow a chemical trail
C Different species of ants around the world D The information contained in pheromones

59 The phrase "the one" refers to a single
A message B dead ant C food trail D species
60 According to the passage, why ants use different compounds as trail pheromones?
A To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals B To attract different types of ants
C To protect their trail from other species D To indicate how far away the food is
61 The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point out
A how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail B the different types of pheromones ants can produce C a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world
D that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone 62 According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones?
A They concentrate on the smell of food
B They follow an ant who is familiar with the trail
C They avoid the vapor spaces by moving in a straight line D They sense the vapor through their antennae
63 The word "furnish" is closest in meaning to
A include B provide C cover D select
64 The word "oscillating" is closest in meaning to
A falling B depositing C swinging D starting
65 According to the passage, the highest amount of pheromone vapor is found
A in the receptors of the ants B just above the trail
C in the source of food D under the soil along the trail
