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 that follow

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 16: What does this passage mainly discuss?

A The measurement of variations in the solar constant

Question 18: Why is it not impossible to measures the solar constant accurately without a satellite?

A There is not enough sunlight during the day.

B The Earth’s atmosphere interferes with the sunlight.

C Some areas on Earth receive more solar energy than others.

D The Earth is too far from the sun.

Question 19: The word “scatter” in paragraph 1 is closest meaning to .

Question 20: The word “its” in paragraph 2 refers to .

Question 21: The word “detected” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to

Question 22: According to the passage, scientists believe variations in the solar constant are related to .

A fluctuations in the Earth’s temperature B increased the level of dust

C unusual weather patterns D sunspot activity

Question 23: Why did scientists think that Solar Max might be giving unreliable information?

A Solar Max did not work for the first few years.

B Solar Max’s instruments were getting old.

C Nimbus 7 interfered with Solar Max’s detectors.

D The space shuttle could not fix Solar Max’s instruments.

_.

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

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

Question 25: The attempt to describe the solar constant can be best described as .
