The Moon has been worshipped by primitive peoples and has inspired humans to create
everything from lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what do we really know about it? The most
accepted theory about the origin of the Moon is that it was formed of the debris from a massive
collision with the young Earth about 4.6 billion years ago. A huge body, perhaps the size of
Mars, struck the Earth, throwing out an immense amount of debris that coalesced and cooled in orbit around the Earth.

The development of Earth is inextricably linked to the moon; the Moon’s graviational
influence upon the Earth is the primary cause of ocean tides. In fact, the Moon has more than
twice the effect upon the tides than the Sun does. The Moon makes one rotation and completes a
revolution around the Earth every 27 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes. This synchronous rotation is
caused by an uneven distribution of mass in the Moon (essentially, it is heavier on one side than
the other) and has allowed the Earth’s gravity to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing
Earth. It is an average from Earth of 384,403 km.
The Moon has no atmosphere; without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it
from meteorite impacts, and thus the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both
large and small. The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosive effects
of atmospheric weathering, tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reform
the Earth’s surface features are not at work on the Moon. In fact, even tiny surface features such
as the footprint left by an astronaut in the lunar soil are likely to last for millions of years, unless
obliterated by a chance meteorite strike. The surface gravity of the Moon is about one-sixth that
of the Earth’s. Therefore, a man weighing 82 kilograms on Earth would only weigh 14 kilograms on the Moon.
The geographical features of the Earth most like that of the Moon are, in fact, places such
as the Hawaiian volcanic craters and the huge meteor crater in Arizona. The climate of the Moon
is very unlike either Hawaii or Arizona, however; in fact, the temperature on the Moon ranges
between 123 degrees Celsius to -233 degrees Celsius.
28. What is the passage primarily about?
A. The Moon’s effect upon the Earth. B. The origin of the Moon.
C. A comparison of the Moon and the Earth.
D. What we know about the Moon and its differences to Earth.
29. The word “massive” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______. A. impressive B. unavoidable C. dense D. huge
30. According to the passage, the Moon is ______.
A. the primary cause of Earth’s ocean tides B. older than the Earth
C. protected by a dense atmosphere
D. composed of a few active volcanoes
31. Why does the author mention “impact craters”?
A. to explain the corrosive effects of atmosphere weathering.
B. to show the result of the Moon not having an atmosphere.
C. to show the result of the Moon not having active tectonic or volcanic activity.
D. to explain why the Moon has no plant life because of meteorites.
32. A person on the Moon would weigh less than on the Earth because ______.
A. of the composition of lunar soil
B. the Moon has no active tectonic or volcanic activity
