20 93 Reading Comprehension Passage I: Although the practice of the old Roman religion disappeared many centuries ago, some traces of the Roman gods are still present in our daily vocabulary. The names of the Roman sun god, Sol, and the moon goddess, Luna, are used frequently in our language. The word "solar" describes anything pertaining to the sun, and "luner" anything pertaining to the moon. For example, the sun and the planets circling it are called the solar system. The period of time in which the earth circles the sun once is a solar year. The moon takes one lunar month to circle the earth. A lunar year of twelve lunar months is eleven days shorter than a solar year. In some cases, our language shows how these heavenly bodies affect us directly. A room or place for sunbathing is often called a solarium. We know that the word "parasol" means: "a type of a sunshade like an umbrella". For many centuries it was believed that the moon affected people who were mentally ill. For this reason, persons who were mentally ill were often referred to as lunatics. 93- The best title for this passage is.... 1) Ancient Beliefs 2) The Gods of Rome 3) Gods in Our Words 4) The Creation of the Universe 94- According to the passage a lunar month is the time in which.... 1) eleven days pass 2) the moon is the brightest 3) the moon circles the sun 4) the moon travels round the earth 95- It is implied that... 1) Luna was the Roman sun god. 2) a solar year lasts about 354 days. 3) our calendar is based on the movements of the moon. 4) mental illness really has nothing to do with the moon. 96- The word "lunatic" originally meant... 1) twelve lunar months. 2) a guard against the moon. 3) the home of the moon goddess. 4) a person on whom the moon had a bad effect. Passage II: Sociologists believe that the first civilizations were seen in the great river valleys of southwest Asia, northwest India, and northern China. Although there were differences, these cultures had some similar features. All were agricultural societies that relied on advanced social and political structures to maintain irrigation and flood control. Attacks by nomadic people forced farmers to live in walled cities for defense and to give their protection to their leaders. The invention of the plow about 3000 B.C. increased farm productivity and reduced the need for farm labor, letting workers become artistic people. 97- What is the main idea of this passage? 1) Life of the ancient civilization 2) The invention of the plow 3) The civilization of India 4) Political structure of India 98- According to the passage, farmers had to live in walled cities... 1) when their political leaders forced them to. 2) since they were afraid of attacks by nomadic people. 3) because most ot them liked to live in large urban areas. 4) because of the political and social structure of these cities. 99- It is stated in the passage that... 1) the first Asian civilizations had almost similar cultures. 2) all ancient civilizations were located in northern China. 3) the first civilizations had no different features. 4) Asia was the most important source of agriculture products What does the underlined word "their" refer to? 1) cities 2) civilizations 3) nomadic people 4) farmers 19
