A Hot underground gasses created clouds, which formed the Earth's atmosphere Trang 2/5 - Mã đề thi 134 B Plant growth depended on oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere C The atmosphere on Earth has changed over time D The original atmosphere on Earth was unstable Question 19: The word "enveloped" is closest in meaning to _ A surrounded B characterized C changed D escaped Question 20: The word "they” refers to A rocks B steam vents C gasses D volcanoes Question 21: According to the passage, outgassing eventually led to all of the following EXCEPT A the formation of clouds B decreases in the level of nitrogen C increases in the carbon dioxide content of sedimentary rocks D the formation of bodies of water Question 22: The word "gradually" is closest in meaning to _ A in the end B accidentally C quickly D by degrees Question 23: The passage suggests that oxygen remained in the atmosphere because _ A it was heavier than hydrogen B it was caused by outgassing C rays from the sun created equal amounts of hydrogen and oxygen D hydrogen became trapped in limestone Question 24: The author uses the word "Or" to A propose a similar idea B suggest an alternative C criticize the previous suggestion D provide unrelated information Question 25: The phase "At any rate" is closest in meaning to A although unlikely B in addition C fortunately D regardless Question 26: The Earth's atmosphere is described in terms of the A role of volcanoes in its formation B order in which changes occurred C time it took for the Earth's surface to cool and nitrogen to appear D chemical and physical features of gasses Question 27: Which of the following does the passage mention as necessary for both the production of oxygen by photo dissociation and the production of oxygen by plants?
