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 
Of the six outer planets, Mars, commonly called the red planet, is the closest to Earth. Mars, 4,200 miles in diameter and 55 percent of the size of Earth, is 34,600,000 miles from Earth, and 141,000,000 miles from the Sun. It takes this planet, along with its two moons, Phobos and Deimos, 1.88 years to circle the Sun, compared to 365 days for the Earth.
For many years, Mars had been thought of as the planet with the man-made canals, supposedly discovered by an Italian astronomer, Schiaparelli, in 1877. With the United States spacecraft Viking I’s landing on Mars in 1976, the man-made canal theory was proven to be only a myth.
Viking I, after landing on the soil of Mars, performed many scientific experiments and took numerous pictures. The pictures showed that the red color of the planet is due to the reddish, rocky Martian soil. No biological life was found, though it had been speculated by many scientists. The Viking also monitored many weather changes including violent dust storms. Some water vapor, polar ice, and permafrost (frost below the surface) were found, indicating that at one time there were significant quantities of water on this distant planet. Evidence collected by the spacecraft shows some present volcanic action, though the volcanoes are believed to be dormant, if not extinct.

A. Mars is larger than Earth
B. It takes longer for Mars to circle the Sun than it takes Earth
C. Mars has two moons	D. Martian soil is rocky

A. Schiaparelli	B. Phobos	C. Viking I	D. Martian

Question 39: The Viking I exploration accomplished all of the following EXCEPT_________.
A. discovering large quantities of polar ice and permafrost
B. monitoring weather conditions
C. collecting information showing volcanic action
D. performing scientific experiments
Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that the radius of Mars is__________.
A. 141,000,000 miles	 B. 34,600,000 miles	C. 4,200 miles	D. 2,100 miles
Question 41: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Scientists are no longer interested in the planet because there is no life on it.
B. Fairly recent studies of this planet reveal data that contradict previously held theories.
C. Very little of the Martian landscape has changed over the years.

Read the passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 36 to 42.
The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. Some primitive animals such as jellyfish and starfish have a decentralized nervous system without a brain, while sponges lack any nervous system at all. In vertebrates the brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the primary sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell.
Brains can be extremely complex. The cerebral cortex of the human brain contains roughly 15–33 billion neurons, perhaps more, depending on gender and age, linked with up to 10,000 synaptic connections each. Each cubic millimeter of cerebral cortex contains roughly one billion synapses. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body and target them to specific recipient cells.
The brain controls the other organ systems of the body, either by activating muscles or by causing secretion of chemicals such as hormones and neurotransmitters. This centralized control allows rapid and coordinated responses to changes in the environment. Some basic types of responsiveness are possible without a brain: even single-celled organisms may be capable of extracting information from the environment and acting in response to it. Sponges, which lack a central nervous system, are capable of coordinated body contractions and even locomotion In vertebrates, the spinal cord by itself contains neural circuitry capable of generating reflex responses as well as simple motor patterns such as swimming or walking. However, sophisticated control of behavior on the basis of complex sensory input requires the information-integrating capabilities of a centralized brain.
Despite rapid scientific progress, much about how brains work remains a mystery. The operations of individual neurons and synapses are now understood in considerable detail, but the way they cooperate in ensembles of thousands or millions has been very difficult to decipher Methods of observation such as EEG recording and functional brain imaging tell us that brain operations are highly organized, while single unit recording can resolve the activity of single neurons, but how individual cells give rise to complex operations is unknown. 
Question 36. Which the following is mentioned in the passage?
A. Sponges, which have no central nervous system, are capable of coordinated body contractions and locomotion.
B. All animals have brain protected in skull.
C. 1 cm3 in cerebral cortex contains about 1,000,000,000 synapses.
D. Neural circuitry in spinal cord can control even complex response to stimuli from external environment.
Question 37. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. The number of neurons in the cortex is about 15 – 33 billion, irrespective of age and gender.
B. Jellyfish and starfish do not have brain.
C. The sponge has brain but not nervous system.
D. Neurons communicate with one another by targeting themselves to specific recipient cells.
Question 38. The word “linked” in the 2nd paragraph could be best replaced by______.
A. chained	B. connected	C. bundled	D. interfered
Question 39. The word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refers to:
A. the brain	B. response	C. the action of the brain	D. hormones and neurotransmitters
Question 40. Methods of observation such as EEG recording and functional brain imaging tell us______
A. how individual cells give rise to complex operations is unknown.	
B. single unit recording can resolve the activity of single neurons.	
C. nothing.	D. the works of brain are highly organized.
Question 41. The passage can be described as______.

Question 42. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Brain – human’s most complex part of the body.	B. Brain’s main function.
