II- Read the following passage and choose the best answer:
Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family. It is only 3.100 miles across. It is also the sun's swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days.
Mercury always keeps one side towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side always night. We only see the lighted side.
Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the sun, it is always seen near the sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People sometimes call mercury the morning star or evening star.
Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is much lighter, it has much less gravity. If you can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you will find it a strange world. Its low gravity makes you feel very light. If your weight on earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is only 27 pounds.
Looking at the sun from Mercury, you can see that it's much more brilliant than it is seen from the earth. And the yellow centre of the sun appears three times bigger from Mercury.
On its lighted side, Mercury's temperature is about 300 degrees centigrate. But the dark side is extremely cold, but 150 degrees below zero so mercury is probably the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.
46. A. Mercury is .......
A. the sun's fastest planet B. the coldest planet C. the hottest planet D. all are correct
47. We cannot see the dark side of Mercury because .......
A. it moves very fast.
B. it always appears just before sunrise or soon after sunset.
C. it always keeps one side towards the sun.
D. it is too far for us to see.
48. When can we see Mercury? - We can see it ......
A. just before the sunset B. just before sunrise
C. after the sunset D. both A and C are correct
49. Why do we weigh much on the earth than on Mercury? - Because .......
A. Mercury is nearer to the sun. B. Mercury has got less gravity than the earth.
C. Mercury is much hotter. D. none are correct.
50. Why does the sun look bigger when it is seen from Mercury?
- Because .......
A. Mercury is the smallest planet of the sun.
