American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name. In the Eastern part of the
range, most of these bears have shiny black fur, but in the west they grow brown, red or even yellow coats.
To the north, the back bear is actually gray or white in color. Even in the same litter, both brown and black furred bears may be born.
Black bears are the smallest of American bears, ranging in length from five to six feet, weighing
from three hundred to five hundred pounds. Their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and hearing are
not as good as their sense of smell.
Like all bears, the black bear is timid, clumsy and rarely dangerous, but if attacked, most can climb trees
and cover ground at great speeds. When angry or frightened, it is a formidable enemy.
Black bears feed on leaves, herbs, roots, fruit, and berries, insects, fish, and even larger animals. One of the
most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. Unlike squirrels,
woodchucks, and many other woodland animals, bears do not actually hibernate. Although the bears does
not eat during the winter months, sustaining itself from body fat, its temperature remains almost normal,
and it breathes regularly four of five times per minute.
Most black bears live alone, except during mating seasons. They prefer to live in caves, hollow logs
or dense thickets. A litter of one to four cubs is born in January or February after a gestation period of six
to nine months, and they remain with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 32.
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 trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of
material for study; from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon, scientists have been able to
determine much about the composition of the Moon (as well as to draw) inferences about the development
of the Moon from its composition. The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock
and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the
Moon. The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil. Scientists
found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil. In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic
types of rocks from the surface of the Moon: Basalt and breccia. Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic
lava common to the Earth. Since basalt is formed under extremely high temperatures, the presence of this
type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot. Breccia, the other
kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling objects on the surface
of the Moon. It consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by the force of impact. Gases such as
hydrogen and helium were found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to
the Moon by the solar wind, the streams of gases that are constantly emitted by the Sun.
Question 28. It is implied in the passage that scientists believe that the gases found in the Moon rocks
A. were not originally from the Moon
B. caused the Moon's temperature to rise
C. traveled from the Moon to the Sun
D. were created inside the rocks
Question 29. What does the word “It” refers to? A. the impact B. the surface
C. breccia D. the Moon Question
30. According to the passage, what does Moon soil consist of?
A. Large chunks of volcanic lava. B. Rock and glass.
C. Small bits of rock and glass probably ground from larger rocks. D. Hydrogen and helium.
Question 31. According to the passage, breccia was formed A. from volcanic lava B. when objects hit the Moon
C. when streams of gases hit the surface of the Moon
D. from the interaction of helium and hydrogen
Question 32. What is the subject of this passage? A. The Apollo astronauts B. Basalt and breccia C. What the Moon is made of D. Soil on the Moon SECTION B: WRITING
