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 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere 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.

(4)

The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid. 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, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent.

Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid.

It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practiced, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.

Question 36. The word "outstanding" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to_________.

A. meaningful B. special C. crazy D. amusing

Question 37. According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because_________.

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

C. they do not need oxygen D. ice floats

Question 38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of water?

A. water expands when it is frozen B. water contracts on cooling C. water is good solvent D. water can absorb heat

Question 39. The phrase "this vast amount" in the first paragraph refers to_________.

A. 300 million cubic miles of water. B. 24,000 cubic miles of rain C. 80,000 million cubic miles of water D. 80,000 cubic miles of water Question 40. The author's tone in the passage can best be described as _________.

A. emotional B. neutral C. humorous D. negative

Question 41. 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 42. The author's main purpose in this passage is to_________.

A. explain how water is used in commerce and industry B. compare water with other liquids

C. illustrate the importance of conserving water D. describe the properties and uses of water

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.

People travel for a lot of reasons: Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason, sun!

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.

(5)

Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.

None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.

(Adapted from "Modern Sun Worshippers")

Question 43. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?

A. Rainy weather B. Crowded buses C. Polluted water D. Traffic jams Question 44. The word "tolerate" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. practice B. avoid C. endure D. explain

Question 45. In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned _______.

A. to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty B. to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate.

C. to tell us how wealthy their people are

D. to prove that they have got more tourism than they handle

Question 46. The phrase "booked solid" in paragraph 3 means most nearly the same as ______.

A. having less people than normal B. being uncomfortable to live in C. seeming to be hard to book D. having no spaces inside

Question 47. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ______.

A. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs B. they want to see historic remains or religious spots

C. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home D. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites

Question 48. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?

A. France B. Spain C. Greece D. Italy

Question 49. According to the passage, the most serious problem facing the Mediterranean is ______.

A. financial burden B. polluted seas C. floods D. shortage of food

Question 50. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, "or one tourist for every person living in Spain" means _____.

A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists B. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year

C. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country D. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist annually
