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.
Life in the Future
Planet Earth has many problems. Different kinds of pollution are harming the planet. The world’s population
is continuing to grow each year. Many people believe that in the future, we will have to find a new place to
live.
Space stations are one place where people could live. People can build parts of a space station on Earth and
then put them together in space. It will be easier for people to live on space stations than different planets.
One bad thing is there won’t be any gravity, and people won’t be able to move much.
Some scientists think Mars is the best option. People won’t be able to go outside on Mars, but we can build
new cities there. We need to build better spaceships because they cost too much money now. Some people
think that Venus will also be an option because the gravity is similar to Earth's. However, the weather on
