Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. The atmosphere of Venus is quite different from ours. Measurements taken from the Earth show a high concentration of carton dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus. In fact, carbon dioxide makes up 96 percent of Venus’ atmosphere; nitrogen makes up almost all the rest. The Earth’s atmosphere, by comparison, is mainly nitrogen, with a fair amount of oxygen as well. Carbon dioxide makes up less than 0.1 percent of the terrestrial atmosphere. The surface pressure of Venus’ atmosphere is 90 times higher than the pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere, as a result of the large amount of carbon dioxide in the former. Throughout Earth’s history, carbon dioxide on Earth has mixed with rain to dissolve rocks; the dissolved rock and carbon dioxide eventually flow into oceans, where they precipitate to form new terrestrial rocks, often with the help of life-forms. If this carbon dioxide were released from the Earth’s rocks, along with lower carbon dioxide trapped in seawater, our atmosphere would become as dense and have as high a pressure as that of Venus. Venus, slightly closer to the Sun than Earth and thus hotter, had no oceans in which carbon dioxide could dissolve or life to help take up the carbon. Also, Venus has probable lost almost all the water it ever had. Since Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth is, its lower atmosphere was hotter even early on. The result was that more water vapor went into its upper atmosphere, where solar ultraviolet rays broke in up into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen, a light gas, escaped easily; the oxygen has combined with other gasses or with iron on Venus’ surface. Studies from the Earth show that the clouds on Venus are primarily composed of droplets of sulfuric acid, with water droplets mixed in. Sulfuric acid may sound strange as a cloud constituent, but the Earth too has a significant layer of sulfuric acid droplets in its stratosphere. However, the water in the lower layers of the Earth’s atmosphere, circulating because of weather, washes the sulfur compounds out of these layers, whereas Venus has sulfur compounds in the lower layers of its atmosphere in addition to those in its clouds. 46. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Atmospheric differences between Venus and Earth. B. How Venus lost the water it once had. C. The influence of the Sun on Venus. D. A comparison between the upper and the lower atmosphere on Venus. 47. In terms of their amount in the atmosphere, what is the proportion of carbon dioxide on Earth and on Venus? A. Almost 1000. B. Almost 100. C. Almost 1/3. D. Almost 90. 48. What are the gases that Venus’s atmosphere mostly consists of? A. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen. B. Carbon dioxide and oxygen. C. Nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen. D. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen. 49. What can possibly be the reason that there is so much carbon dioxide in Venus’ atmosphere? A. There is no oxygen. B. The temperatures are too high. C. There is no water and life on Venus. D. There is no oxygen and water on Venus. 50. What may be the explanation of low air pressure on earth? A. Oxygen readily available. B. Water evaporating. C. Carbon dioxide dissolved in water. D. Precipitation. 51. According to the passage, what causes Venus’ surface pressure? A. Dissolving rocks. B. Frequent heavy rain. C. Its distance from the Sun. D. The composition of its atmosphere. 52. What is the writer’s purpose with the sentence “If this carbon dioxide were released from the Earth’s rocks, ”? A. To present a situation that is contrary to fact. B. To convince readers that a certain process in harmless. C. To describe an event that took place long ago. D. To explain what is likely to happen in the future. 53. What may cause the disappearance of the water on Venus? A. The prevalent amount of carbon dioxide B. High temperature and the Sun’s ultraviolet rays C. High temperature and low surface pressure D. High surface pressure and low temperature. 54. According to the passage, which of the following has resulted from processes involving Earth’s carbon dioxide? A. A steady increase in the density of Earth’s atmosphere. B. An increase rate at which rock dissolves. C. The accumulation of carbon dioxide in Earth’s rock. D. The expansion of Earth’s oceans. 55. According to the passage, what happened to oxygen on Venus? A. Most of it was absorbed into rocks. B. It was released from water and then combined with other substances. C. It chemically combined with hydrogen from atmospheric water. D. It has been slowly replacing carbon dioxide in Venus’ upper atmosphere. Question 56 - 65.
