It will also analyze Pluto's atmosphere and temperature. Scientists say that now is our last chance to send a spacecraft to Pluto. Otherwise Pluto will become too far from Earth and it will be more difficult to get near the planet. The New Horizons mission is important because no spacecraft has ever been sent that far before. The information collected during this mission will help to explain what the outer edges of the solar system look like and how the solar system was formed 4.5 billion years ago. * NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration * the Solar System: the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, IJranus, Neptune, Pluto

Earth is the third closest planet to the Sun in the Solar System. Its the only planet whose English names, the World or the Earth, dont come from Roman or Greek mythology but from Olc English and Germanic. It is also referred to as the Blue Planet, or the Blue Marble because its the only planet that has water in liquid form on the surface.

Earth is the third closest planet to the Sun in the Solar System. It's the only planet whose English names, the World or the Earth, don't come from Roman or Greek mythology but from Olc English and Germanic. It is also referred to as the Blue Planet, or the Blue Marble because it's the only planet that has water in liquid form on the surface. In fact, seventy-one per cent of Earth's surface is covered with water, which is vital for all known forms of life. Earth is the only planet than is capable of hosting any known form of life. It is home to millions of species of plants and animals. including a global population of humans. Life on Earth is supported and nourished by its biosphere and minerals. Scientists are looking for other planets to accommodate our increasing population. They believe that if humans could trace water on Mars and plant trees, they could increase the amount of oxygen on the planet. That would greatly increase the chance of humans being able to live on it in the future.

Câu 16: Earth is the planet from the Sun in our solar system.

A third

B. fifth

C. second

D. fourth

Câu 17: What is the life on Earth supported by?

A. its global population of humans.

B. its species of plants and animals.

B. its biosphere and minerals.

D. its water in liquid form.

Câu 18: What is the percentage of Earth's surface which is covered by water?

A. 71%

B. 75%

C. 65%

D. 81%

Câu 19: Are scientists looking for other planets to accommodate our increasing population?

A. Yes, they are.

B. Yes, it is.

C. No, it isn't.

D. No, they aren't.

IV. Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or D.

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. It's just a little bigger than Earth's moon. It is the closest planet to the sun, but it's actually not the hottest. Venus is hotter.

Along with Venus, Earth, and Mars, Mercury is one of the rocky planets. It has a solid surface that is covered with craters. It has a thin atmosphere, and it doesn't have any moons. Mercury likes to keep things simple.

This small planet spins around slowly compared to Earth, so one day lasts a long time. Mercury takes 59 Earth days to make one full rotation. A year on Mercury goes by fast. Because it's the closest planet to the sun, it doesn't take very long to go all the way around. It completes one revolution around the sun in just 88 Earth days. If you lived on Mercury, you'd have a birthday every three month!

A day on Mercury is not like a day here on Earth. For us, the sun rises and sets each and every day. Because Mercury has a slow spin and short year, it takes a long time for the sun to rise and set there. Mercury only has one sunrise every 180 Earth days! Isn't that weird?

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Days on Mercury B. What Mercury is like

C. Sunrise on Mercury D. Length of a year on Mercury

2. According to the passage, Mercury _____________.

A. is the nearest to the Sun B. doesn't have atmosphere

C. the hottest planet D. has many moons

3. The word "It" in paragraph 2 refers to _____________.

A. Earth B. Mercury C. Venus D. Mars

4. The word "spins" in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by _____________.

A. comes B. arrives C. appears D. moves

5. It can be inferred from the passage that a year on Mercury _____________.

A. has 59 days B. much longer than that on Earth

C. has 88 days D. has only 180 days

6. How often does the sunrise on Mercury?

A. The same as on Earth. B. Every 3 months.

C. Every 180 days. D. Sun never sets.

II. Read the passage and answer the questions. Circle A, B, or C.

The Moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers from the Earth. Its diameter is 3,479 kilometers, about 1/4 the diameter of Earth. The average temperature on the surface of the Moon during the day is 107°C, hot enough to boil water on Earth. During the night, the average temperature drops to −153°C.

Because of its smaller size and mass, the gravity of the Moon is about 1/6 the gravity on the Earth. That means that a person who weighs 180 pounds on Earth would only weigh 30 pounds if measured on the Moon. The force of gravity from the Moon affects Earth. Its gravity reaches Earth and pulls the oceans toward the Moon, causing the tides. The gravity from the Sun also affects the tides. The highest tides will always occur when the Moon and Sun are aligned. That is when there is a New Moon or a Full Moon.

1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A comparison between the Moon and Earth B. Physical characteristics of the Moon
C. The effect of the Moon on Earth
2. The word “its” in paragraph 2 refers to which of the following?
A. the Moon’s B. Earth’s C. gravity’s
3. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. A person would lose 5/6 of their weight if they were on the Moon.
B. A person would weigh much less on the Moon than on Earth.
C. The Earth weighs six times as much as the Moon.
4. What can we learn about the tides?
A. They happen twice a month at New Moon and Full Moon.
B. The Sun causes higher tides on Earth than the Moon does.
C. They are caused by both the Sun and the Moon.
5. The word “aligned” is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A. combined together B. arranged in a line C. affected by the other
