The Hollywood sign in the hills that line the northern border of Los Angeles is a famous landmark recognized the world over. The white – painted, 50 – foot – high, sheet mental letters can be seen from great distances across the Los Angeles basin. The sign was not constructed, as one might suppose, by the movie business as a means of celebrating the importance of Hollywood to this industry; instead, it was first constructed in 1923 as means of advertising homes for sale in a 500 – acre-housing subdivision in a part of Los Angeles called “Hollywood land”. The sign that was constructed at time, of course, said “Hollywood land”. Over the years, people began referring to the area by the shorten version “Hollywood” and after the sign and its site were donated to the city in 1945, the last four letters were removed. The sign suffered for years of disrepair, and in 1973, it needed to be completely replaced, at a cost of $ 27,700 per letter. Various celebrities were instrumental in helping to raise needed funds. Rock star Alice Cooper, for example, bought an O in memory of Groucho Marx, and Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame held a benefit party to raise the money for the Y. The construction of the new sign was finally completed in 1978. Question 39. What is the topic of this passage? A. Hollywood versus Hollywood land B. A famous city C. World landmarks D.

4. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. The American southwest is full of deserts. If you ever go there, you might get to see a very strange event. We are talking something called the sailing stones. Sometimes, stones in the southwestern desert move by themselves. Wind doesn’t seem to push them. People and animals don’t touch them. However, these stones still move. Sometimes they travel more than a hundred meters. They always leave a trail in the sand behind them. This is useful because we can look at the trail and figure out how far a stone has moved. How is this possible? How can stones move all by themselves? Scientists have been studying this for years. People have offered all kinds of theories. One of the earliest theories was that wind pushes the stones. That theory isn’t correct, because some of the stones weigh more than 300 kilograms. When it seemed like there was no logical explanation for the sailing stones, people started coming up with crazier ideas. Some people said that aliens were moving the stones, and others said that clever people were playing a joke. Finally, in 2013, a scientist came up with an explanation for the sailing stones. This scientist normally studies weather on other planets, and when he heard about the sailing stones, he became interested in them. He found out that ice forms on the bottom of the stones. When that happens, even a very light wind can push the stone for long distances. To prove his theory, the scientist did an experiment. He put a rock in his freezer and let some ice form on it. Then, he put sand and a little water in a tray. Finally, he put his frozen rock on top of the sand. When he blew on the rock, it moved. Even when he blew very gently, he had no problems moving the rock. Here is something interesting about the sailing stones. Curious people visit the desert in the southwest to see them. A lot of those people don’t like to hear the scientific explanation for the sailing stones. Many people prefer to feel that the stones are still a mystery. Question 44. Which of the followings best serves as the title of the passage? A. Wind and stones B. Deserts in America C. Stones that move D. Aliens and stones Question 45.

What kind of work did the scientist do before he studied the sailing stones? A. He studied weather in deserts. B. He studied weather on other planets. C. He sold freezers. D. He looked for life on other planets. Question 48. The word “that” in paragraph 4 refers to___. A. stone sailing B. ice forming C. the bottom D. an experiment Question 49.
