Part 2 Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than
the latitude near the poles, and because the nature of heart is to expand and move, Heat is transported from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes Some of this heat is moved by winds and some by ocean currents, and some gets stored in the atmosphere in the form of
latent heat The term “latent hear” refers to the energy that has to be used to convert liquid
water to water vapor We know that if we warm a pan of water on a stove, it will evaporate, or
turn into vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room temperature We also know that if we hang wet clothes outside in the summertime they will dry faster than in winter, when temperatures are colder The energy used in both cases to change liquid water to water vapor is
supplied by heat – supplied by the stove in the first case and by the Sun in the latter case This
energy is not lost It is stored in water vapor in the atmosphere as latent heat Eventually, the water stored as vapor in the atmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy will be release to the atmosphere
In the atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun’s incoming energy is used to evaporate
water, primarily in the tropical oceans Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the Sun’s energy By analyzing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have estimated the quantity to be about 90 watts per square meter, or nearly 30 percent of the
Sun’s energy Once this latent heat is stored within the atmosphere, it can be transported,
primarily to higher latitudes, by prevailing, large-scale winds Or it can be transported
vertically to higher levels in the atmosphere, where it forms clouds and subsequent storms, which then release the energy back to the atmosphere
66.The passage mainly discussed how heat
A.is transformed and transported in the Earth’s atmosphere
B.is transported by ocean currents
C.can be measured and analyzed by scientists
D.moves about the Earth’s equator

A.The height of cloud formation in the atmosphere
B.The amount of heat they receive from the Sun
C.The strength of their large scale winds
D.The strength of their oceanic currents
68. The word “convert” in line 5 is closest in meaning to
A.mix B change C adapt D reduce
69.Why does the author mention “the stove” in line 9?
Trang 8A.To describe the heat of the Sun B To illustrate how water vapor is stored
C To show how energy is stored D To give an example of a heat source
70.According to the passage, most ocean water evaporation occurs especially
A.around the higher latitudes B in the tropics
C because of large-scale winds D because of strong ocean currents
71.According to the passage, 30 percent of the Sun’s incoming energy _ _
A.is stored in clouds in the lower latitudes B is transported by ocean currents
C never leaves the upper atmosphere D gets stored as latent heat
72.The word “it” in line 17 refers to
A.square meter B the Sun’s energy C latent heat D the atmosphere
73.The word “primarily” in line 17 is closest in meaning to
A.chiefly B originally C basically D clearly
74.The word “prevailing” in line 18 is closest in meaning to _
A.essential B dominant C circular D closest
75.All of the following words are defined in the passage EXCEPT _ _
A.low latitudes (line 1) B latent heat (line 4)
C evaporate (line 6) D atmosphere (line 13)
