Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 
 Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitudes near the poles, and because the nature of heat 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 heat” 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 temperature is 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 as 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 released 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. Scienctists 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.
Question 1: The passage mainly discusses 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.
Question2: The passage mentions that the tropics differ from the Earth’s polar regions in which of the following ways?
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.
Question3: The word “convert” is closest in meaning to__________
A. mix	B. change	C. adapt	D. reduce
Question 4: Why does the author mention “the stove” in line 8th?
A. 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
Question5: 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
Question6: 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.
Question7: The underlined word “it” refers to_______
A. square meter	B. the Sun’s energy	C. latent heat	D. the atmosphere
Question8: The word “primarily” is closest in meaning to __________
A. chiefly	B. originally	C. basically	D. clearly
Question9: The word “prevailing” is closest in meaning to _________
A. essential	B. dominant	C. circular	D. closest
Question10: All of the following words/ phrases are defined in the passage EXCEPT________
A. low latitudes (line 1st)	B. latent heat (line 4th)	C. evaporate (line 5th)	D. atmosphere (line 8th)
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 
(Line)	Until recently, growth hormone could only be obtained from the pituitary glands of the dead people. This substance is used to treat children who did not produce enough of their own growth hormone and who would, therefore, grow up as dwarfs. The natural product was taken off the market after it was linked to a brain disease which attacked some of treatment with it. But now, 
(5) a new synthetic growth hormone has been developed which, it is claimed, has no dangerous side 	effects. The new drug is called “Somatrem” and can be produced in unlimited quantities.
For children who are deficient in their own growth hormone, Somatrem is an important medical advance. The problem is that the drug may be abused by people who are not medically in need of its benefits. For example, athletes may take the drug in the belief that it will improve their
(10)	physique and physical performance. Parents may want to obtain the drug for their children who are only marginally under average height. For such reasons, experts are recommending that registers be kept of Somatrem recipients. The implications of the use of Somatrem must be thoroughly understood before widespread distribution of the drug is undertaken.
Question1. What is this passage mainly about?
	A. The side effect of growth drugs	B. A medical breakthrough in growth hormones
	C. The abuse of growth hormones	D. The problems of growth hormone- deficient children
Question2. The people who could benefit from this drug are short because of
	A. lack of hormone	B. hereditary diseases	C. severe accidents	D. birth defects
Question3. The phrase “linked to” in line 4 is closest in meaning to 
	A. subjected to	B. caused by	C. inhibited by	D. connected to
Question4. According to the passage natural growth hormone is not marketed now because
	A. it may have caused a brain disease	B. people were killed by it
	C. it failed to make people grow	D. not enough pituitary glands were available
Question5. Why does the author claim that Somatrem is an advance on natural growth hormone?
	A. It can be used by athletes. 	B. It is not necessary to use pituitary glands from dead people.
 C. It can not be abused by people.	D. It does not have any adverse side effects.
Question6. The direct benefits of Somatrem will be gained by
	A. professional athletes	B. undersized children	C. medical experts	D. concerned parents
Question7. The word “people” in line 8 refers to
	A. children deficient in growth hormone	B. experts in the medical field
	C. possible drug abusers	D. dead people
Question8. The word “it” in line 9 refers to
	A. Somatrem	B. natural growth hormone C. drug abuse	D. physical performance
