<b>VII. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage: </b>

Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best place for houses in a moon
town will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not be squashed by meteorites that constantly foil on
the moon from outer space. This will be important on the moon, since daytime is so hot that food could be

cooked in the rocks, and the nights get bitterly cold. Pioneer moon homes may be made of airtight plastic that
can be blown up like a balloon inside a cave. The reasons is that the moon has no air around it. The pioneers
will have take along from the earth the oxygen masks when they are away from home. But the balloon house
itself will be filled with air. Perhaps the house will have beds, tables and chairs, built into it. These can be
inflated, too. So people will sleep, eat, and work on air! Moon-house building will be easy. The moon's gravity
is less than the earth's. Everything weighs only one sixth as much as it does on the earth.

A. A cave. B. A balloon. C. A tunnel. D. Either A or C.

A. The people on the moon will not leave their homes.

B. The people on the moon will wear oxygen masks when they leave their homes.
C. The moon homes are of plastic.

D. The temperature in a cave changes as much as the temperature outside.

48. Why will the pioneers have to take along from the earth the oxygen they need for breathing?
A. Because the moon homes are made of airtight plastic.

B. Because the balloon house will be filled with air.
C. Because moon people will sleep, eat and work on air.
D. Because the moon has no air around it.

49. If a stone weighs 18 tons on the earth, how much does it weigh on the moon?

A. Six tons. B. Fifty-five tons. C. One hundred and eight tons. D. Three tons.
50. According to the passage, can people build cities on the moon?
