What geologists call the Basin and Range Province in the United States roughly coincides in its northern
portions with the geographic province known as the Great basin. The Great Basin is hemmed in on the west by
the Sierra Nevada and on the east by the Rocky Mountains; it has no outlet to the sea. The prevailing winds in
the Great Basin are from the west. Warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean is forced upward as it crosses the
Sierra Nevada. At the higher altitudes it cools and the moisture it carries is precipitated as rain or snow on the
western slopes of the mountains. That which reaches the Basin is air wrung dry of moisture. What little water
falls there as rain or snow, mostly in the winter months, evaporates on the broad, flat desert floors. It is,
therefore, an environment in which organism battle for survival. Along the rare watercourses, cottonwoods and
willows eke out a sparse existence. In the upland ranges, pinon pines and junipers struggle to hold their own.
But the Great Basin has not always been so arid. Many of its dry, closed depressions were once filled
with water. Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley were once a string of interconnected lakes. The
two largest of the ancient lakes of the Great Britain were Lake Lahontan and Lake Bonneville. The Great Salt
Lake is all that remains of the latter, and Pyramid Lake is one of the last briny remnants of the former.
There seem to have been several periods within the last tens of thousands of years when water
accumulated in these basins. The rise and fall of the lakes were undoubtedly linked to the advances and retreats
of the great ice sheets that covered much of the northern part of the North American continent during those times
Climatic changes during the ice ages sometimes brought cooler, wetter weather to midlatitude deserts
worldwide, including those of the Great Basin. The broken valleys of the Great Basin provided ready
receptacles for this moisture.
26. What is the geographical relationship between the Basin and Range Province and the Great Basin?
a. The Great Basin is west of the Basin and Range Province
b. The Great Basin is larger than the Basin and Range Province.
c. The Great Basin is in the northern part of the Basin and Range Province.
d. The Great Basin is mountainous; the Basin and Range Province is flat desert.
27. According to the passage, what does the Great Basin lack?
a. Snow b. Dry air c. Winds from the west d. Access to the ocean
28. The word “ prevailing” is closest in meaning to
a. most frequent b. occasional c. gentle d. most dangerous
29. It can be inferred that the climate in the Great Basin is dry because
a. the weather patterns are so turbulent b. the altitude prevents precipitation
c. the winds are not strong enough to carry moisture d. precipitation falls in the nearby mountains.
30. The word “if” in “…….as it crosses the Sierra Nevada……” refers to
a. Pacific Ocean b. air c. west d. the Great Britain
31. Why does the author mention cottonwoods and willows in the first paragraph?
a. To demonstrate that certain trees require a lot of water
b. To give examples of trees that are able to survive in a difficult environment.
c. To show the beauty of the landscape of the Great Basin.
d. To assert that there are more living organism in the Great Basin than there used to be.
32. Why does the author mention Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley in the second paragraph?
a. To explain their geographical formation b. To give examples of depressions that once contained water.
c. To compare the characteristics of the valleys with the characteristics of the lakes.
d. To explain what the Great Britain is like today.
33.The word “the former” refer to
a. Lake Bonneville b. Lake Lahontan c. The Great Salt Lake d. Pyramid Lake
34. The word “accumulated”I is closest in meaning to
a. dried b. flooded c. collected d. evaporated

a. desert formation b. warmer climates c. broken valley d. wetter weather

By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but ice was still
only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew with the growth of
cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward- looking city dealers in fresh meat,
fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War ( 1860- 1865), as ice used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into
household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of
that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new
household convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modern refrigerator, had been invented.
Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the
knowledge of the physics of heat , which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary. The
commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken,
for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice
included wrapping the ice blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth
century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.
But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He
owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the
market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, hr found that
customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for his
butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his icebox, more explained, was that
farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool.
36. What does t he passage mainly discuss?
a. The influence of ice on the diet b. The development of refrigeration
c. The transportation of goods to market d. Sources of ice in the nineteenth century.
37. According to the passage, when did the word “icebox” become part of the language of the United States?

th
century

a. fresh meat b. the Civil War c. ice d. a refrigerator
41. According to the passage, which of the following was an obstacle to the development of the icebox?
