Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless and inflammable liquid that can be produced by combining carbon disulfide and chlorine. This compound is widely used in industry today because of its effectiveness as a solvent as well as its use in the production of propellants.
Despite its widespread use in industry, carbon tetrachloride has been banned for home use. In the past, carbon tetrachloride was a common ingredient in cleaning compounds that were used throughout the home, but it was found to be dangerous: when heated, it changes into a poisonous gas that can cause severe illness and even death if it is inhaled. Because of this dangerous characteristic, the United States revoked permission for the home use of carbon tetrachloride in 1970. The United States has taken similar action with various other chemical compounds.

Questions 17 – 23
The locations of stars in the sky relative to one another, do not appear to the naked eye to change, and as a result stars are often considered to be fixed in position. Many unaware stargazers falsely assume that each star has its own permanent home in the nighttime sky.
In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are barely perceptible here. An example of a rather fast-moving star demonstrate why this misconception prevails; it takes approximately 200 years for a relatively rapid star like Bernard’s star to move a distance in the skies equal to the diameter of the earth’s moon. When the apparently negligible movement of the stars is contrasted with the movement of the planets, the stars are seemingly unmoving.

1. What the Eye Can See in the Sky
2. Bernard’s Star
3. Planetary Movement
4. The Evermoving Stars
Answer : 4. The Evermoving Stars

Answer : 3. unassisted vision
19. According to the passage, the distance between the stars and Earth are
1. barely perceptible
2. huge
3. fixed
4. moderate
Answer : 1. barely perceptible
20. The word “perceptible” in line 5 is closest in meaning to which of the following
1. Noticeble
2. Persuasive
3. Conceivable
4. Astonishing
Answer : 1. Noticeble
21. In line 6, a “misconception” is closest in meaning to a(n)
1. idea
2. proven fact
3. erroneous belief
4. theory
Answer : 3. erroneous belief
22. The passage states that in 200 years Bernard’s star can move

2. next to Earth’s moon
3. a distance equal to the distance from Earth to the Moon

Answer : 4. a distance seemingly equal to the diameter of the Moon
23. The passage implies that from Earth it appears that the planets
1. are fixed in the sky

Miyoko especially liked the two bridges that cross San Francisco Bay. The Bay Bridge is majestic. It crosses from San Francisco to Oakland. Even more beautiful is the Golden Gate Bridge, stretching from San Francisco to Marin Country. The Golden Gate Bridge separates San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.
