For each question there are four suggested answers marked A， B, C and DChoose one best answer.Passage One Almost everyone knows the meaning of Mr, Mrs and MissMr is used before the names of menMrs is for married women and Miss is for single womenBut what is Ms? For some time，businessmen in the United States have used Ms before a womans name when they do not know whether the woman is married or notToday，however，many women prefer to use Ms rather than Mrs or MissThe word Mr does not tell us whether or not a man is married. Many women think this is an advantage for menThey want to be equal with men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know whether they are married or not There are some problems with Ms，howeverNot all women like it. Some like the older ways of doing thingsSome find it difficult to pronounce(Ms sounds like miz.) Generally，young women like it better than older women doIt is difficult to know whether or not Ms will be used by more American women in the futureWhat do you think of this change?31.

One hundred and nine globes the size of the earth would be needed to stretch from oneside of the sun to the other sideThe sun makes us feel hot even at a distance of ninety-three million miles. This is not surprising. The temperature on the sun is about ten thousand degrees FahrenheitBut we receive only a small part of this heatThe total heat of the sun could melt a column of ice two and quarter miles thick and ninety-three million miles high in one second The brightness of the sun is equally astonishing. The sun gives such a brightlight that 1, 575, 000, 000, 000, 00O, 000 wax candles would be needed to give anequal lightThis very long row of figures gives us some ideas of the brilliance of the sun. As we said earlier, we receive only a very small part of its lightThis is sufficient for the growth of trees and plants，and for the existence of living creatures on earthToo mach heat and light would destroy the balance of lifeThe heat and light from the sun come in just the right quantities for life on earth36The sun is _.
