Question II Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable word or phrase for each space Write the answers on your answer sheet (10pts) BODY LANGUAGE Language is commonly believed to be a system of communication that consists of sound and written symbols However, we can also communicate in other way by using our facial (61) _our tone of voice and even our (62) _body In fact, in many situations, non-verbal communication can (63) more accurately what a person is feeling Body language always speaks the truth, (64) words can often be (65) For successful communication both at the office and at home, an understanding of body language is important At work, non-verbal communication is (66) to power People (67) _charge tend to lean back in their chair, fold their hands behind their heads, and put their feet up on the desk They usually dominate conservations, both talking and interrupting more than others Those who (68) _orders, on the other hand, are much relaxed and tend to sit on the (69) _of their chairs with their arms tightly folded Body language plays an equally important role at home Children are particularly quick to pick (70) _on non-verbal signals and can distinguish between what is said and what is really meant 61 A expression B shapes C look D aspects 62 A full B whole C partial D total 63 A explain B announce C reveal D publish 64 A whereas B so C except D therefore 65 A senseless B hopeless C mistrustful D misleading 66 A associated B related C combined D reserved 67, A at B on C by D in 68 A B give C lead D follow 69 A top B edge C limit D border 70 A out B over C up D at Question III Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below Write the answers on your answer sheet (10 pts) The atmosphere that originally surrounded Earth was probably much different from the air we breathe today Earth’s first atmosphere (some 4.6 billion years ago) was most likely hydrogen and helium The two most abundant gasses found in the universe - as well as hydrogen compounds, such as methane and ammonia, Most scientists feel that this early atmosphere escaped into space from the Earth’s hot surface A second, more dense atmosphere, however, gradually enveloped Earth as gasses from molten rocks within its hot interior escaped through volcanoes and steam vents We assume that volcanoes spewed out the same gasses then as they today: mostly water vapor (about 80 percent), carbon dioxide (about ten percent), and up to a few percent nitrogen These same gasses probably created Earth's second atmosphere As millions of years passed, the constant outpouring of gasses from the hot interior known as outgassing - provided a rich supply of water vapor, which formed into clouds Rain fell upon Earth for many thousands or years, forming the rivers, lakes, and oceans of the world During this Lime, large amounts of carbon dioxide were dissolved in the oceans Through chemical and biological processes, much of the carbon dioxide became locked up in carbon sedimentary rocks, such as limestone With much of the water vapor already condensed into water and the concentration of carbon dioxide dwindling, the atmosphere gradually became rich nitrogen It appears that oxygen, the second most abundant gas in today’s atmosphere, probably began an extremely slow increase in concentration as energetic rays from the sun split water vapor into hydrogen and oxygen during a process called photodissociation The hydrogen, being lighter, probably rose and escaped into space, while the oxygen remained in the atmosphere This slow increase in oxygen may have provided enough of this gas for primitive plants to evolve, perhaps two to three billion years ago Or the plants may have evolved in an almost oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment At any rate, plant growth greatly enriched our atmosphere with oxygen The reason for this enrichment is that plants, in the presence of sunlight, process carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen 71 What is the main idea of the passage? A The original atmosphere on Earth was unstable B The atmosphere on Earth has changed over time C Hot underground gasses created clouds, which formed the Earth’s atmosphere D Plant growth depended on oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere 72 The word “enveloped” in line is closest in meaning to ……… A surrounded B changed C escaped D characterized 73 The word “they” in line refers to ……… A gasses B volcanoes C steam vents D rocks 74 According to the passage, outgassing eventually led to all of the following EXCEPT …… A increases in the carbon dioxide content of sedimentary rocks B the formation of bodies of water C decreases in the level of nitrogen D the formation of clouds 75 The word “gradually” in line 17 is closest in meaning to ……… A accidentally B quickly C in the end D by degrees 76 The passage suggests that oxygen remained in the atmosphere because ……… A it was caused by outgassing B it was heavier than hydrogen C hydrogen became trapped in limestone D rays from the sun created equal amounts of hydrogen and oxygen 77 The author uses the word “Or” in line 23 to ……… A criticize the previous suggestion C propose a similar idea B provide unrelated information D suggest an alternative 78 The phase “At any rate” in line 24 is closest in meaning to ……… A regardless B in addition C although unlikely D fortunately 79 The author organizes the discussion of the Earth’s atmosphere in terms of the ……… A role of volcanoes in its formation B occur in which changes C time it took for the Earth’s surface: to cool and nitrogen to appear D chemical and physical features of gasses 80 Which of the following does the passage mention as necessary for both the production of oxygen by photodissociation and the production of oxygen by plants?
