LATIHAN US BAHASA INGGRIS 2

Of the six outer planets, Mars, commonly called the Red Planet, is the closest to Earth. Mars, 4,200 miles in diameter and 55 percent of the size of Earth, is 34,600,000 miles from Earth, and 141,000,000 miles from the Sun. it takes this planet, along with its two moons, Phobos and Deimos, 1.88 years to circle the Sun, compared to 365 days for the Earth.

For many years, Mars had been thought of as the Planet with the man-made canals, supposedly discovered by an Italian astronomer, Schiaparelli, in 1877. With the United Stated spacecraft Viking I’s landing on Mars in 1976, the man-made canal theory was proven to be only a myth.

Viking I, after landing on the soil of Mars, performed many scientific experiments and took numerous pictures. This pictures showed that the red color of the planet is due to the reddish, rocky Martial soil. No biological life was found, thought it had been speculated by many scientists. The Viking also monitored many weather changes including violent dust storms. Some water vapor, polar ice, and permafrost (frost below the surface) were found, indicating that at one time there were significant quantities of water on this distant planet. Evidence collected by the spacecraft shows some present volcanic action, though the volcanoes are believed to be dormant, if not extinct.

All the following are true, except .....

• Mars has two moons

• It takes longer for Mars to circle the sun than it takes Earth

• Martian soil is rocky

• Mars is larger than Earth

What is the main idea of this passage ....

• Fairly recent studies of this planet reveal data that contradict previously held theories

• Very little of the Martian landscape has changed over the years

• scientists are only speculating about the Red Planet

• Scientists are no longer interested in the planet because there is no life on it
