PRACTICE TEST 6

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 from 1 to 10.
Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their historic landing
on the surface of the Moon. This momentous tri for humanit! also ro"ided scientists with an a#undance
of material for stud!$ from roc% and soil samles #rought #ac% from the Moon, scientists ha"e #een a#le
to determine much a#out the comosition of the Moon &as well as to draw' inferences a#out the
de"eloment of the Moon from its comosition.
The Moon soil that came #ac% on Aollo (( contains small #its of roc% and glass which were
ro#a#l! ground from larger roc%s when meteors imacted with the surface of the Moon. The #its of glass
are sherical in shae and constitute aro)imatel! half of the Moon soil. Scientists found no trace of
animal or lant life in this soil.
In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two #asic t!es of roc%s from the surface of the
Moon* +asalt and breccia. +asalt is a cooled and hardened "olcanic la"a common to the Earth. Since
#asalt is formed under e)tremel! high temeratures, the resence of this t!e of roc% is an indication that
the temerature of the Moon was once e)tremel! hot. +reccia, the other %ind of roc% #rought #ac% #! the
astronauts, was formed during the imact of falling o#,ects on the surface of the Moon. This second t!e
of roc% consists of small ieces of roc% comressed together #! the force of imact. -ases such as
h!drogen and helium were found in some of the roc%s, and scientists #elie"e that these gases were carried
to the Moon #! the solar wind, the streams of gases that are constantl! emitted #! the Sun.

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 from #$ to $#.
Although noise, commonl! defined as unwanted sound, is a widel! recogni<ed form of ollution, it
is "er! difficult to measure #ecause the discomfort e)erienced #! different indi"iduals is highl!
su#,ecti"e and, therefore, "aria#le. E)osure to lower le"els of noise ma! #e slightl! irritating, whereas
e)osure to higher le"els ma! actuall! cause hearing loss. Particularl! in congested ur#an areas, the noise
roduced as a #!Aroduct of our ad"ancing technolog! causes h!sical and s!chological harm, and
detracts from the Fualit! of life for those who are e)osed to it.
Inli%e the e!es, which can #e co"ered #! the e!elids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is,
therefore, alwa!s oen and "ulnera#le$ noise enetrates without rotection.
7oise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the #od! ne"er #ecomes
accustomed. 5oud noises instincti"el! signal danger to an! organism with a hearing mechanism, including
human #eings. In resonse, heart#eat and resiration accelerate, #lood "essels constrict, the s%in ales and
muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning #rought a#out #! the flow of adrenaline
released in resonse to fear, and some of these resonses ersist e"en longer than the noise, occasionall!
as long as thirt! minutes after the sound has ceased.
+ecause noise is una"oida#le in a comle), industrial societ!, we are constantl! resonding in the
same wa! that we would resond to danger. Recentl!, researchers ha"e concluded that noise and our
resonse ma! #e much more than an anno!ance. It ma! #e a serious threat to h!sical and s!chological
health and wellA#eing, causing damage not onl! to the ear and #rain #ut also to the heart and stomach. 1e
ha"e long %nown that hearing loss is America:s num#er one nonfatal health ro#lem, #ut now we are
learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers ma! #e "ictims of noise as well. Betuses e)osed to
noise tend to #e o"eracti"e, the! cr! easil!, and the! are more sensiti"e to gastrointestinal ro#lems after
#irth. In addition, the s!chic effect of noise is "er! imortant. 7er"ousness, irrita#ilit!, tension, and
an)iet! increase, affecting the Fualit! of rest during slee, and the efficienc! of acti"ities during wa%ing
hours, as well as the wa! that we interact with each other.
