Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

There is one planet that still fascinates and teases scientists mainly because it doesn’t have an
atmosphere to obscure observation, yet it is not big enough for sufficiently accurate telescopic
observation. The fact that it is also very close to the sun also makes it difficult for astronomers.
However, space telescopes have told us a lot more about Mercury. It is rather similar to Earth’s
moon and to Mars. There are mountainous areas dotted with craters and large valleys which are
uncratered. The moon’s valleys have fewer cracks and ridges are smoother. Mercury’s valleys are filled
with volcanic rocks, similar to on the moon, yet there is no evidence of volcanoes, even extinct ones, on
Mercury, as there is on the both Mars and the moon, and of course here on Earth.
So, scientists presume the valleys on Mercury were caused by different things, that is to say not by
volcanoes, but by very large meteorites, which also caused the cracks in the terrain and left the ridges
rough and uneven. More and better photos of Mercury are needed to prove what are at present at best only
hypotheses.

B. show more of the planet, Mercury
C. show the volcanoes on Mercury
D. show what caused Mercury’s valleys
Question 16. What can we infer from the passage that astronomers still need to get more detailed
observation of Mercury?
A. More ways to prove hypotheses
B. More hypotheses
C. Larger space telescopes
D. Better and more space telescopes
Question 17. Why does Mercury still tease scientists?
A. Because it is too close to the sun
B. Because it is difficult for space probes to get close to.
