 The Great Pyramid of Giza, a monument of wisdom and prophecy, was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 BC. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly wonders of the world. 
 The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west - an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
 Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many interesting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of line of events - past, present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are presently under investigation.
 Was this super structure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?

II. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage:
 Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order distance from the sun. It is well placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter's less than 10-hour period gives it the shortest day in the solar system insofar as the principal planets are concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 3° - less than that for any other planet.
 The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and color, and at times it has been invisible,' but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long and 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. Though the latitude cf the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude. Over the past certury the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very close to -22°. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter's outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Juvian meteorology. Its longevity may well be due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted.
46. According to the passage, Jupiter has the shortest day among the principal planets because..........
 A. its rotation period is shorter than 10 hours.
 B. the axial inclination is only just over 3°.
 C. it is on average the brightest of all the planets.
 D. there is the interference of the Great Red Spot.
47. The author's tone in this passage is..........
 A. argumentative 	B. supportive 	C. enthusiastic 	D. neutral
48. This passage would be of most interest to
 A. students of anthropology 	B. geologists 	C. mathematicians 	D. amateur astronomers
49. It can be inferred from this passage that Jupiter's Great Red Spot ..........
 A. will become brighter with time. 	B. will one day vanish.
 C. will continue expanding 	D. is made of floating gases.
50. The word "intensity" could best be replaced with..........
 A. visibility 	B. density 	C. brilliance 	D. surface area
