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.
The elements other than hydrogen and helium exist in such small quantities that it is accurate to say that the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium by weight and somewhat less than 75 percent hydrogen.
Astronomers have measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other galaxies as well. Helium has been found in old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars. Helium nuclei have also been found to be constituents of cosmic rays that fall on the earth (cosmic rays are not really a form of radiation; they consist of rapidly moving particles of numerous different kinds). It doesn`t seem to make very much difference where the helium is found. Its relative abundance never seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more of it; in others, slightly less, but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.
Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are responsible for most of the energy that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that could have been produced in this manner can be calculated, and it turns out to be no more than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significantly greater. Consequently, if the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it must have been about 25 percent helium at a time near the beginning.
However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed. Calculations indicate that before this time temperatures were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the one- minute point that helium could exist. By this time, the universe had cooled so sufficiently that neutrons and protons could stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formations of helium went on for only relatively short time. By the time the universe was a few minutes old, helium production had effectively ceased.
Question 3: What does the passage mainly explain?
A. Why hydrogen is abundant.	B. When most of the helium in the universe was formed.
C. How stars produce energy.	D. The difference between helium and hydrogen.
Question 4: According to the passage, helium is 	.

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.
A little more than a hundred years ago, a number of European scholars began to record stories being told in peasant cottages and compile them into the first great collections of European folk tales. Written evidence exists to prove that the folk tales they recorded existed long before then though. Collections of sermons from the 12th to the 15th century show that medieval preachers knew of some of the same stories as those recorded by the 19th century folklorists.
The collections of folk tales made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries provide a rare opportunity to make contact with the illiterate masses who have disappeared into the pass without leaving a trace. To reject folk tales as historical evidence because they cannot be dated and situated with precision like other
historical documents is to turn one‟s back on one of the few points of entry into the previous centuries. But to attempt to penetrate that world is to face a daunting set of obstacles, the greatest of which is the impossibility of listening in on the story tellers. No matter how accurate they may be the versions of the tales recorded in writing cannot convey the effects that the storytellers must have used to bring the stories to life: the dramatic pauses, the sly glances, the use of gestures to set scenes, and the use of sounds to punctuate actions. All of those devices shaped the meaning of the tales, and all of them elude the historian. He cannot be sure that the limp and lifeless text he holds between the covers of a book provides an accurate account of the performance that took place in earlier times.
Question 30: The author believes that written versions of folk tales .
changed dramatically from the 19th to the 20th century.
are valid historical documents.
show how illiterate the masses were before the 19th century.
should be rejected as historical evidence.
Question 31: What problems of folk tale collections does the author discuss?
There is no way to tell which version of a story is the original system.
They contain historical inaccuracies.
They are used as historical evidence.
They don‟t preserve the original performance style of the storytellers.
Question 32: The author‟s main purpose in the passage is to 	.
criticize historians who use folk tales as historical documents.
argue that folk tales are authentic historical documents.
convince readers that modern versions of folk tales are probably not the same as the originals.
explain why historians must study the illiterate masses of the past.
Question 33: According to the passage, peasant folklore was recorded by 	.
A. 19th century folklorists.	B. 19th century preachers.
C. historians in the 12th to 15th centuries	.	D. 19th century peasants.
Question 34: The author talks about “limp and lifeless” text because 	
the original texts have been damaged.
the texts do not reveal how the storytellers presented their folk tales.
some of the texts are no longer relevant to historians.
the texts provide an accurate account of life in earlier times.
Question 35: The word “He” refers to 	.
A. The author	B. the storyteller	C. the reader	D. the historian
Question 36:	What do the collections of folk tales made in the late 19th and early 20th provide the historians?
lot of information about famous people in the past.
Kinds of stories and books that are popular then.
good chance to know the life of people in the past.
A rare opportunity to contact with the people who couldn‟t read and write.
