Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked A, B, C or D. Identify your answer by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet. Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter’s less than 10-hour rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system insofar as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular o f the orbital plane is only just over 3 0 - less than that for any other planet. The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long an 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in lo ngitude. Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 12000. The latitude is
generally very close to -220. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may well be due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted. 1. According to the passage, Jupiter has the shortest day among the principal planets because A. its rotation period is shorter than 10 hours B. the axial inclination is only just over 30 C. it is on the average the brightest of all the p lanets D.

According to the passage, Mars outshine Jupiter A. on a regular basis B. from time to time C. every several months D. less often than any other planet 4. This passage would be of most interest to A. students of anthropology B. geologists C. mathematicians D. amateur astronomers 5. It can be inferred from this passage that Jupiter’s Great Red Spot A. will become brighter with time B. will one day vanish C. will continue expanding D. is made of floating gases VI. Fill each numbered blank in the passage with one suitable word. Write the answers on the answer sheet. Microscopes It happened over 300 years (1)…………… in Holland. Anton van Leeuwenhoek had a new microscope that he (2) ……….. made . One day he looked through it at a drop (3) ………… lake water. What he saw surprised him.
