VIII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question. Write your
For centuries, sky watchers have reported seeing mysterious flashes of light on the
surface of the Moon. Modern astronomers have observed the same phenomenon, but no one has
been able to satisfactorily explain how or why the sporadically sparks. However, reaearches
now believe they have found the cause.
Researchers have explained the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by astronauts
during the Apollo missions and have found that they contain vlatile gases such as helium,
hydrogen and argon. The researchers suggest that stray electrons, freed when the rock crakcs,
may ignite these gases. Indeed, lunar rock samples, when fractured in the lab, throw off sparks.
What causes these rocks to crack to the lunar surface? The flashes are most often seen at
the borders between sunlight and on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensively
heated or cooled. A sudden change in temperature may cause thermal cracking. Another
possibility is that meteors may stike the rocks and cause them to crack. Finally, lunar rocks may
be fractured by seismic events- in other words, by tiny moonquakes.

A. For the last ten years
B. Since the Apollo missions
C. For hundreds of years
D. For thousands of years
2. According to the passage, the theory that Moon rocks give off sparks when they crack is
supported by………………………………….
A. a telescopic study of the Moon.
B. experiments conducted by astronauts
C. observations made centuries ago
D. an analysis of rocks from the Moon
3. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?
A.Modern astronomers have found out how and why the Moon sparks B.Researchers
now know exactly why the Moon sparks
C.When lunar rocks crack, they throw off sparks.

4. The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to………….
A. Moon rocks B.researchers C.Apollo missions D. gases
