Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.(0.1 x 10 = 10 pt) Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitude near the poles, and because the nature of heart 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 hear” 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 temperatures are 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 in water 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 release 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. Scientists 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, 5
6. 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. 1. The passage mainly discussed 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 2. 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 3. The word “convert” in line 5 is closest in meaning to ___. A. mix B. change C. adapt D. reduce 4. Why does the author mention “the stove” in line 9? 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 5. 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 6. 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 7. The word “it” in line 17 refers to ___. A. square meter B. the Sun’s energy C. latent heat D. the atmosphere 8. The word “primarily” in line 17 is closest in meaning to ___. A. chiefly B. originally C. basically D. clearly 9. The word “prevailing” in line 18 is closest in meaning to ___. A. essential B. dominant C. circular D. closest 10. All of the following words are defined in the passage EXCEPT ___. A. low latitudes (line 1) B. latent heat (line 4) C. evaporate (line 6) D. atmosphere (line 13) Write your answers here: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 6

As soon as he got off the plane, he was into custody. III. “Should teachers give pupils much homework?” (2.5pts) Write a composition to express your idea on this. (You should write within 200 - 220 words) I believe that much homework is not necessary. Pupils already spend most of the day in school. They need their time outside of school to do other things. They need time to spend with their family, to work, and to just relax. They can learn their lessons with homework two or three exercises a day, but much homework isn’t necessary. All pupils need to spend time with their families. They are still young and they need the guidance and support their parents can give them. They need the companionship of their brothers and sisters . In addition, many families rely on their older children to help out at home. They take care of the younger children and help with the cooking and cleaning. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have time for their families. 9
10. Many high school pupils have jobs. They go to their jobs after school and on weekends. Some work in order to help their families. Others works to save money for college. Pupils’ jobs are very important to them. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have enough energy to go to work. Pupils need time to relax. They study hard in school all day and many works at jobs after school. But they are still young. They need to spend their time with their friends and have fun. When pupils relax with friends, they then have more energy for school and work. They have a chance to develop social skills or to pursue their own interests. Having free time is important for a child’s development. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have time for relaxation. In conclusion, I think homework is important for pupils, but other things are important, too. Some homework is good, but much homework can take time away from a pupil’s family, job, and relaxation. There needs to be a balance. Therefore, teachers shouldn’t give pupils much homework. The end. 10
