Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the latitudes near the poles, and because the nature of heat 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 heat” 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 the temperature is lower 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 as 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 released 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, 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
Question 28: The passage mainly discusses 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.
Question 29: 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.
Question 30: The word “convert” is closest in meaning to _
Question 31: Why does the author mention “the stove” in the passage?
A To describe the heat of the Sun.
Trang 4B To illustrate how water vapor is stored.
C To show how energy is stored.
D To give an example of a heat source
Question 32: 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
Question 33: 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

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Often the craft worker’s place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation
to the center of settlement, At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters’ quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within the city of Athens itself The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before the Greek
period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration, for example, in the
interplay of black and other glazes with the red surface of the fired pot Athenian black-figure and figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.; its distinctive color and luster were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s temperature during an extended three-stage period if firing the clayware Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other
red-The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to confine
themselves to either decorated housewares like cooking pots and jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Tliasos
produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand Molds were used to
create particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for other
products such as roof tiles, which were needed in some quantity, they were used to facilitate mass
production There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means- as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify
