Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer from 31 to 34
The sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is powered by thermonuclear reactions near its center that change hydrogen into
helium. The sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion, 600 million years and is thousands of time greater than the
earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the sun's life will be like. About 5 billion years from
now, the core of the sun will become smaller and hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the
centre will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the sun will expand approximately 35 million
miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the sun. The sun will then be a red giant star.
Temperatures on the earth will become too hot for life to exist.
Once the sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it becomes smaller to
the size of the earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions
called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat.
31. What is the primary purpose of this passage?
A. To describe changes that the sun will go through .
B. To discuss conditions on earth in the far future.
C. To present a theory about red giant stars.
D. To alert people to the dangers posed by the sun.
32. It can be inferred from the passage that the sun.
A. is rapidly changing in size and brightness
B. has been in existence for ten billion years
C. will continue as a yellow dwarf for another ten billion years.
D. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf.
