The most familiar speleothems (from the Greek word spelaion for the cave and thema for
deposit), the decorative dripstone features found in caves, are stalactites and stalagmites.
Stalactites hang downward from the ceiling of the cave and are formed as drop after drop of
water slowly trickles through crack on the cave roof. Stalagmites grow upward from the floor
of the cave, generally as a result of water dripping from an overhead stalactite. A column
forms when a stalactite and a stalagmite grow until they join. A “curtain” or “drapery” begins
Streams sometimes disappear down these holes and flow through the cavern. Rivers may
flow from one mountain to another through a series of caves . Some caverns have sinkholes
in their floors. Water often builds up a rim of dripstone around the edge of the hole. Dripping
water often contains dissolved minerals as well as acid. These minerals too will be deposited;
and they may give rich coloring to the deposits. If minerals in the water change, layers of

Dear Akhdan
Hello Akhdan, how are you ? it’s been a mounth since I last heard from you. Well I just
wanted to tell you that i was in a hospital last week. According to the doctor I was infected by
dengue fever. At frist, i felt my body became weak then fainted when was studying in
the classrom. Then, I was taken to the hospital because of the high fever.
At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor immediately gave some
treatments. Finally, l had to stay there for one week. Everyday the doctor kept me on a drip.
At the seventh day, my condition was getting better. After the final check, the doctor gave me
permission to go home. Now, I’m okay and because of my illness, I am now more careful
about keeping in my house clean especially my room, I don’t want to get the same illness
again.
OK, think that’s all from me, write to me soon ok?
Regards
Sheva
bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the Earth was like. Studies
of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satelites of Jupiter and Saturn have provided
ample evidence that all these large celestial bodies had formed. This same bombardment must
have affected Earth as well. The lunar record indicates that the rate of impacts decreased to
its present low level about 4 billion years ago. On Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal
motions have obliterated the craters that must have formed during this epoch.
Scientists estimate the Earth’s age by measuring the ratios of various radioactive elements in
rocks. The oldest Earth’s rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3 billion years old. But no one
knows whether these are oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on rocks form the moon and on
meteorites show that these are about 4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this is the
true age of the solar system and probably the true age of the Earth.
A. created
B. destroyed
C. changed
D. eroded
42. According to this passage, how do scientists estimate the age of the Earth?
B. By examining fossils
C. By studying sunspots
A. Volcanic activity
B. Solar radiation
C. Gravity
D. Crustal motions
45. According to the passage, why are scientists forced to look at other bodies in the solar
C. Solar flares
D. Deforestation
47. Which of the following bodies was NOT studied to give evidence that the Earth was
B. Mercury
C. Jupiter
D. Earth’s moon

B. documented fact.
D. indicated by erosion.
A. an avoidance.
