IV. Read the passage and do the exercises:

Norway is sometimes called “The land of midnight sun”. In the summer months, the sun doesn’t set for two and half months. But in the north, in the old winter months, the sun doesn’t rise for nearly two months!

Teenagers in Norway have got many hours of free time when there is no day light. Because there is no light, typical free time activities are hobbies at home. That is why the best young chess player in the world is nineteen-year-old Norwegian Magnus Carlsen.

Magnus, “the Mozart of chess”, is a “grand master”. That means he plays top level chess. He looks like Matt Damon and speaks good English. He plays a lot of tournaments and practices chess for four or five hours every day. He beats adult chess masters, but insists he is still a normal teenager.

Magnus plays on the Internet, and is sporty too. He loves football, skiing and ski jumping. He likes reading, especially chess books. Does he like being a chess superstar? He is happy that chess is now more popular in Norway because of him. But he thinks that football superstars are better!

Our sun is actually an orange, dwarf star. Although it is not nearly the ........(hot) star known, its surface temperature is about 10,000'F and that of its interior is thought to be in the range of 20,000,000'F. We ...........

The sun is 865,000 miles in diameter and has a mass one-third of a million times ..........(great) than the Earth's. Scientists believe that it's two billion years old and, instead of cooling, is still getting hotter. Perhaps, within the next two billion years, it will reach a temperature of sufficient intensity to destroy the Earth.
The sun's corona is almost as hot as interior. Solar prominences-tongues of hot gas-leap outward a half million miles from the sun's surface at speeds reaching 250,000 miles an hour. ...........

Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.

By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center 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 high for life to exist.

Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks 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. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.

The word “there” in the last sentence of paragraph 4 refers to _______.

A. our own planet                   

B. the core of a black dwarf

C. the outer surface of the Sun          

D. the planet Mercury
