Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employee’s homes and offices For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports , the location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over the telephone lines , when the work is completed , employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey in USA today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters But although the numbers are raising annually , the trend doesn’t appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “ The Portable Executive” as its cover story few years ago Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of

many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in the large work force

developed , thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities

It is also true that the employees who are the option of the telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group , and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration to advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people fell that even when a space in their home is set aside as a work are , they never really get away from the office

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 from 46 to 55

For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant , the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth Yet, even in the most cloud- free regions of the planet , the solar constant cannot be

measured precisely Gas molecules and dust particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and

prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the ground

With the advent of satellites , however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun’s output without being impeded by the Earth’s atmosphere Solar Max, a satellite from the national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) , has been measuring the Sun’s output since February 1984 Although

a malfunction in the satellite’s control system limited its observation for a few years, the satellite was

repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in 1984 Max’s observations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all

The satellite’s instruments have detected frequent , small variations in the Sun’s energy output ,

generally amounting to no more than 0.05 percent of the Sun’s mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few weeks Scientists believe these fluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun’s disk Sunspots are relatively dark regions on the Sun’s surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the rest of the Sun’s surface Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with the sightings of the large sunspot groups In 1980, for example, Solar Max’s instruments, registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reaching the Earth At the same time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth’s surface

Long- term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine Although Solar Max’s data have indicated a slow and steady decline in the Sun’s output, some scientists have thought that the satellite’s aging detectors might have become less sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop

in the solar constant This possibility was dismissed , however , by comparison Solar Max’s

observations with data from a similar instrument operating on NASA’s Nimbus 7 weather satellite since

1978

Question 46: What does this passage mainly discuss?

A The launching of weather satellite B The components of the Earth’s atmosphere

A They magnify the solar constant B They are found it varying concentrations

A The Earth is too far from the sun

B Some areas on Earth receive more solar energy than others

C There are not enough sunlight during the day

D The Earth’s atmosphere interfere with the sunlight

Question 49: The word “ scatter” in paragraph 1 is closest meaning to

A disperse B capture C transform D hit

Question 50: The word “ its” in paragraph 2 refers to

A malfunction B atmosphere C satellite D orbit

Question 51: The word “detected” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to

A estimated B disregarded C registered D predicted

Question 52:: According to the passage, scientists believe variations in the solar constant

are related to

A sunspot activity B unusual weather patterns

C increased the level of dust D fluctuations in the Earth’s temperature

Question 53: Why did scientists think that Solar Max might be giving unreliable information?

A Solar Max did not work for the first few years

B The space shuttle could not fix Solar Max’s instruments

C Solar Max’s instruments were getting old

D Nimbus 7 interfered with Solar Max’s detectors

Question 54: The phrase “This possibility” in the last paragraph refers to the likelihood that the

_

A solar constant has declined B Nimbus 7 satellite is older than Solar Max

C solar constant cannot be measured D instruments are providing inaccurate data

Question 55: The attempt to describe the solar constant can be best described as

A an ongoing research effort B an issue that has been resolved

C a question that can never be answer

D historically interesting, but irrelevant to contemporary concerns
