Stated in or what can be inferred from the passage. Then, on your answer sheet, tick the letter of
the answer you have selected,
TEXT 1 —
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well placed for .
observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus,
though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter’s less than 10-hour rotation period gives it the
shortest day in the solar system insofar as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on
Jupiter because the axial indliination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 3°-less than that
for any other planet.
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. lt has shown variations in both intensity and colour, and
at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000
kilometres long and 14,000 kilometres wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude
of the red spot varies little, it drifts about the longitude. Over the past century, the total longitudinal drift has
announced to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close to -22°, ft was once thought that the Red
Spot might be a solid or semnisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results
have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may
well be due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size and may not be permanent.
Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted. 5

TEXT 2:
700375 cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future
will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have
already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas,
methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently
available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source
of current is available, transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday
life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and
trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on
infrastructure systems to support and make the best use ofthe new cars. Public parking spots on the street or in
commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to change their batteries while they
shop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in
transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses , trains, buses, and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers
that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to
suit their needs: light trucks, one person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer
trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of
vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today.
9. The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT
A) vans B) trains C) planes D) trolleys
10. The authors purpose in the passage is to
A) criticize conventional vehicles C) narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles
B) support the invention of electric cars D) describe the possibilities for transportation in the future
11. The passage would most likely be followed by details about
A) automated freeways © the neighborhood of the future
B) pollution restrictions in the future’ D) electric shuttle buses
12. The word ‘compact’ in line 6 is closest in meaning to
A) long-range B) inexpensive C) concentrated D) square
13. In the second paragraph, the author implies that
A) a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed
B) everyday life will stay much the same in the future
C) a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation
D) electric vehicles are not practical for the future
14, According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be
A) more convenient than they are today C) much larger than they are today
B) equipped with charging devices D) as common as today/s gas stations
