III read the following passage and answer the questions that follow
The term "fixed star" refers to stars whose positions not seem to change relative to other stars As stars are constantly moving, their patterns alter gradually, but the difference may not appear significant over a period of 50 or 70 years, because, unlike planets, stars are located at a great distance from the earth Barnard's star, which is considered to move the fastest among the fixed stars, requires 200 years to noticeably alter its position by a distance equal to the moon's diameter Compared to planets, which seem to be continuously shifting, stars appear stationary in their positions and relative distances from other bodies in a constellation Astronomers employ spectrographs and photometers to keep track of perpetually shifting constellations By using the spectrographs and photographs obtained over decades, scientists are able to detect changes in the proper motions of stars By computing the differences in the spectra length, color, and shade of color, they can predict the direction of a star's movement in the near and distant future A classical example is the cup of the Big Dipper, which is open quite a bit more widely now than it was 40,000 years ago According to the spectrograph-based projections, 50,000 years from now the opening will be so expansive that the constellation will no longer resemble a dipper
38 This passage is probably taken from an article discussing
A the uses of spectra for projections B various fixed constellations and stars C the classification of planets and stars D the emergence and motions of stars 39 The author of the passage implies that stars
A seem to rotate differently than planets B appear to retain their distances from other stars C are presumed to be perpetually fixed and immobile D alter their ray emissions gradually 40 The author mentions Barnard's star as
A an example of a very brilliant star B a description of a constellation divide C a point of reference for star mobility D proof of star diameter and proximity 41 In line 6, the word "stationary" is closest in meaning to
A shining B glimmering C immobile D immense
42 It can be inferred from the passage that
A stars revolve every 40,000 to 50,000 years B stars alter their trajectories every 200 years C planets are closer to the earth than stars D planets not appear to be as close as stars 43 In line 9, the word "detect" is closest in meaning to
A spy B project C trace D compute
44 The author of the passage implies that astronomers detect the movement of stars by
A using photographs and mathematical reasoning B comparing the spectrum of each constellation C overlaying the spectrum images in succession D forecasting changes in the position of stars 45 The author of the passage conveys which of the following about fixed stars?
A They are inspected by means of photometers B They are comparatively simple to categorize C Their movements are imperceptible D Their spectra vary in intensity

Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to the soil to provide chemical elements essential for plant nutrition so that the yield can be increased Natural substances such as animal droppings, ashes from wood fires, and straw have been used as fertilizers in fields for thousands of years, and lime has been used since the Romans Introduced It during the Empire It was not until the nineteenth century however, that chemical fertilizers became widely accepted as normal agricultural practice Today, both natural and synthetic fertilizers are available in a variety of forms
A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three numbers, such as 4-8-2 or 6-6-4, which designate the percentage of content of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the order stated Synthetic fertilizers, produced by factories, are available in either solid or liquid form Solids, in the shape of chemical granules, are in demand because they are not only easy to store but also easy to apply Recently liquids have shown an increase in popularity, accounting for about 20 percent of the nitrogen fertilizer used throughout the world Formerly, powders were also used, but they were found to be less convenient than either solids or liquids
Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the consumer as long as they are used according to recommendations based on the results of local research Occasionally, however, farmers may use more fertilizer than necessary in which case the plants not need and therefore not absorb, the total amount of fertilizer applied to the soil The surplus of fertilizer thus can damage not only the crop but also the animals or human beings that eat the crop Furthermore, fertilizer that is not used in the production of a healthy plant is leached into the water table Accumulations of chemical fertilizer in the water supply accelerate the growth of algae and, consequently may disturb the natural cycle of life, contributing to the death of fish Too much fertilizer on grass can cause digestive disorders in cattle and in infants who drink cow's milk Fertilizer must be used with great attention to responsible use or it can harm the environment
