Line
1 Edwin Hubble was an American astronomer who research led to discoveries
2 about galaxies and the nature of the universe. He settled a long debate by
3 demonstrating that the Andromeda nebula located outside our galaxy, establishing
4 the islands universe theory, which states that galaxies exit outside of our own. His
5 study of the distribution of galaxies resulted from Hubble’s constant, a standard
6 relationship between a galaxy’s distance from the earth and its speed of recession.
7 By 1925, Hubble has devised a classification system for the structure of
8 galaxies and provided observational evidence for the expansion of universe. His
9 work pushed the one-hundred-inch Mount Wilson telescope beyond its capability
10 and provided strong impetus for the construction of an instrument twice its size at
11 Mount Palomar, which Hubble used during his last year of researches.

III. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer (10 points)
The Planets of Jupiter
The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s,
contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It is thought to be a gaseous
and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have
attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would
have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type
quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as
hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets. Much of Jupiter’s interior
might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under
pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of
Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of a metal.
Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core
of Earth.
Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours. As a result, its clouds, which are composed
largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands
that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes. Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot
changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic
hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds
of years.
Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. Perhaps this is primeval heat
or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another star like
characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar
System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther
away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the
best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most
important clues about the origin of the Solar System.

A. the Great Red Spot B. heat from the Sun
C. the planet’s fast rotation D. Storms from the planet’s Southern Hemisphere
77. The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great Red Spot is
_____.
A. the only spot of its kind

C. among the largest of such spots

79. Why does the author mention primeval heat in paragraph 3?
A. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun
B. To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets
C. To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has
D. To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off
80. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to study the planet itself.
B. If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal nuclear reactions.
C. If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet.
D. If Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat.
