        Of the six outer planets,Mars,commonly called the Red Planet,is the closest to Earth.Mars,4,200 miles in diameter and 55% of zise of Earth,is 34,600,000 miles from Earth,and 141,000,000 miles from the Sun.It takes this planet,along with its two moons,phobos and Deimos,1.88 years to circle the Sun,compared to 365 days for the Earth.
        For many years,Mars had been thought of as the planet with the man-made canals,supposedly discovered by an Italian astronomer,Schiaparelli,in 1877.With the United States spacecraft Viking I's landing on Mars in 1976,the man-made canal theory was proven to be only a myth.
        Viking I,after landing on the soil of Mars,performed many scientific experiments and took numerous pictures.The pictures showed that the red color of the planet is due to the the reddish,rocky Martian soil.No biological life was found,though it had been speculated by many scientists.The Viking also monitored many weather changes including violent dust storms.Some water vapor,polar ice and permafrost(frost below the surface) were found,indicating that at one time there were significant quantities of water on this distant planet.Evidence collected by the spacecraft shows some present volcanic action,though the volcanos are believed to be dormant,if not extinct.
1.All of the following are true except
a.Mars has two moons
b.it takes longer for Mars to circle the sun than it takes Earth
c.Martin soil is rocky
d.Mars is larger than Earth
pembahasan:Mars is 55 percent the size of Earth;therefore,it is smaller.

2.Man-made canals were supposedly discovered by....
a.Viking I
b.Schiaparelli
c.Phobos
d.Martian
pembahasan:The first sentence of paragraph 2 tells us that the canals were thought to have been discovered by Schiaparelli.

3.The word"supposedly"in line 8 is closest in meaning to
a.actually
b.presumably
c.formerly
d.unquestionably
pembahasan:"Supposedly"modifies Schiaparelli's discovery of man-made canals on Mars.The next sentence states that the man-made canal theory was proved to be a myth.The context casts doubt on the discovery,so"presumably"is closest in meaning to"supposedly."

4. Mars has been nicknamed
a.Viking I
B.the Red Planet
c.Deimos
d.Martin
pembahasan:If Mars is "commonly called" the Red Planet,that is how it is "nicknamed"

5.In line 11,the word"myth"is closest in meaning to
a.fact
b.event
c.legend
d.enigma
pembahasan:A "myth"is"either something untrue or a culture's world view.In this use,"myth"is closest in meaning to"legend,"which is a polular story or theory that is unverified.

6.The Viking I exploration accomplished all of the following except
a.performing scientific experiments
b.collecting information showing volcanic action
c.monitoring weather conditions
d.discovering large quantities of polar ice and permafrost
pembahasan:This is the only choice that is not true.The last paragraph states that some polar 
ice and permafrost were found,indicating that at one time there were significant quantities.Now,however,only traces are left,not large quantities

7.What is the main idea of this passage?
a.Fairly recent studies of this planet reveal data contradict previously held theories.
b.Very little of the Martian landscape has changed over the years.
c.Scientists are only speculating about the Red Planet.
d.Scientists are no longer interested in the planet because there is no life on it.
pembahasan:Most of the passage is spent telling the reader what Viking I discovered when it landed on Mars and how the data refutes some of the beliefs people had about Mars.The other three answer choices are incorrect.

8.The word"monitored"in line 17 is nearest in meaning to
a.programmed
b.televised
c.censored
d.observed
pembahasan:The sentence states that weather changes are being "monitored,"so the word nearest in meaning to that is"observed."

9.The word"dormant"in line 23 is closest in meaning to
a.dangerous
b.inactive
c.erupting
d.significant
pembahasan:The fact that the volcanoes on Mars are believed to be"dormant,"though some show signs of activity,should lead you to choose"inactive"as the synonym for"dormant"and the condition of most of the volcanoes.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
