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.  
C. How stars produce energy.  
B. When most of the helium in the universe was formed.  
D. The difference between helium and hydrogen.  
Question 4: According to the passage, helium is _______.  
A. the second-most abundant element in the universe.  
C. the most prevalent element in quasars.  
B. difficult to detect.  
D. the oldest element in the universe.  
Question 5: The word "constituents" is closest in meaning to _______.  
A. relatives B. components C. causes  
Question 6: Why does the author mention "cosmic rays"?  
A. To explain how the universe began. B. To explain the abundance of hydrogen in the universe.  
D. targets  
C. As part of a list of things containing helium. D. As an example of an unsolved astronomical puzzle.  
Question 7: The word „they‟refers to ________.  
A. constituents  
Question 8: The word "vary" is closest in meaning to  
A. change B. include C. stretch  
B. radiation  
C. cosmic rays  
D. particles  
D. mean

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  
th  
th  
sermons from the 12 to the 15 century show that medieval preachers knew of some of the same stories  
th  
as those recorded by the 19 century folklorists.  
th  
th  
The collections of folk tales made in the late 19 and early 20 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 _____.  
th  
th  
A. changed dramatically from the 19 to the 20 century.  
B. are valid historical documents.  
th  
C. show how illiterate the masses were before the 19 century.  
D. should be rejected as historical evidence.  
Question 31: What problems of folk tale collections does the author discuss?  
A. There is no way to tell which version of a story is the original system.  
B. They contain historical inaccuracies.  
C. They are used as historical evidence.  
D. They don‟t preserve the original performance style of the storytellers.
