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

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life The great ocean basins hold about 300million cubic miles of water From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into theatmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean More than

24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent Thus,

the hydrosphere permits organic existence

The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any otherliquid One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract

on cooling For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom If the ice sank, thehydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summerseason Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, whichmoderates climate, would be notably absent

Another outstanding charateristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of

all liquids and solids except ammonia This characterisitc enables the oceans to absorb and store vastquantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes In addition, water dissolves more substancesthan any other liquid It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for mineralswhich have been washed down from the continents In several areas of the world these minerals are beingcommercially exploited Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea,and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast

Question 45: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to _.

A illustrate the importance of conserving water B describe the properties and uses of water

C 80,000 cubic miles of water D 300 million cubic miles of water

Question 47: The word “replenish” in paragraph 1 can best replaced by

A fill again B replace C evaporate D form

Question 48: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because

A evaporation and condensation create a water cycle B there are currents in the oceans

Question 49: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characterisitic of water?

A Water can absorb heat B Water is good solvent.

C Water contracts on cooling D Water expands when it is frozen

Question 50: The word “outstanding” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

A exceptionally good B special C amusing D important

Question 51: According the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT _

A the part of the earth covered by water B responsible for all forms of life

C in danger of freezing over D a source of natural resources

Question 52: The author’s tone in the passage can best be described as

A dispassionate B speculative C biased D dogmatic

Question 53: The author organizes the passage by _.

A juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas B comparison and contrast

C general statement followed by examples D hypothesis and proof

Question 54: Which of the following statements would be the most likely to begin the paragraphimmediately following the passage?

B Droughts and flooding are two types of disasters associated with water

C Another remarkably property of ice is its strength

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions.

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct

or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vastnumbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of

extinction Animals, such as Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of theworld’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival andthe survival of our planet

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries,

in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend

on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect

the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products

made from endangered species This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals frombeing hunted and killed

Question 55: What is the main topic of the passage?

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real thanspeech A little thought , however will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language.Human beings have been wrting (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; butthey have been talkng for much longer , doubless ever since there have been human beings

When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Eventoday there are spoken language that have no wrtiten form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before welearn to write ; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk ;

a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort tolearn to write In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill , andeven today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some wholearn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly

To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter One advantagewriting has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilizationmust have.Thus , if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized

Question 45: We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because

A.it has become very important in our culture

B human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years

C writing is secondary to language

D People have been writing since there have been human beings

Question 46: The author of the passage argues that .

A all.language should have a written form

B writing has become too important in today’s society

C Everyone who learns to speak must learn to write

D Speech is more basic to language than writing

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it isvery difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjectiveand, therefore, variable Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure tohigher levels may actually cause hearing loss Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as

a by- product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the

quality of life for those who are exposed to it

Unlike the eyes, which can be convered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is ,therefore, always open and vulnerable: noise penetrates without protection.

Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed.Loud noises instintively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings

In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense.

In fact , there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline release in

response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long asthirty minutes after the sound has ceased

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the sameway that we would respond to danger Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our responsemay be much more than an annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health andwell-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach We have longknown that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that

some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well Fetuses exposed to noise tend to

be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sesitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth In
