Read the dialogue and then decide whether the statements that follow are true or false. Write True or False in your answersheet:

A planet is a body in space that revolves around a star. There are nine planets in our solar system, and these nine planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Planets travel in orbits around their stars . All of the planets of the solar system revolve in elliptical orbits. In other words, their orbits are like large, flat circles. The time that it takes a planet to make one revolution around the sun is called its year. The Greek were the first people to recognize and give names to some of the planets. The word planet comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer. If a person wanders, this means that he goes from one place to another and does not have a home. The Greek thought that the planets “wandered” in the sky. However, modern scientists can predict the movement of the planets very accurately

____ 1/ A planet revolves around the Earth.

____2/ Venus, Mars and Neptune are planets and stars.

____ 3/ The Greek were the first to recognize some of the planets.

____ 4/ The planets in our solar system travel around the sun and in elliptical orbits

n Janqry I9,200,6,NASA* launched a new spacecraft called New Horizons into outer space. New Horizons is expected to travel about 3 billion miles for 10 years at around 50,000 kilometers per hour and take pictures of Pluto (the last planet in the solar system*),its moons, and the Kuiper KY-pun) Belt. 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

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

As viewed from space, Earth’s distinguishing characteristics are its blue waters and white clouds. Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the planet is the only one in our solar system known to harbor life. Circling the Sun at an average distance of 149 million kilometers (93 million miles), Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system.

Our planet’s rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which, coupled the atmosphere, shields us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun and other stars. Earth’s atmosphere protects us from meteors as well, most of which burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere before they can strike the surface. The planet active geological processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it formed about 4.6 billion years ago. The Earth has a single natural satellite – the moon.

Question. Approximately how much of the Earth’s atmosphere is nitrogen?

A. One-fourth

B. One-half

C. Three-fourths

D. All of it

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.
