Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult Thus some researchers believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell's genetic makeup Any event that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring on aging Other theories of aging look at different processes

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

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence

The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent

Another outstanding charateristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia This characterisitc enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited Solar evaporation of salt is widely practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast

Question 45: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to _.

A illustrate the importance of conserving water B describe the properties and uses of

water

C compare water with other liquids D explain how water is used in commerce and industry

Question 46: The phrase “this vast amount” in line of paragraph refers to A 80,000 million cubic miles of water B 24,000 cubic miles of rain

C 80,000 cubic miles of water D 300 million cubic miles of water Question 47: The word “replenish” in paragraph can best replaced by

A fill again B replace C evaporate D form

Question 48: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because

C they not need oxygen D ice floats Question 49: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characterisitic of water?

A Water can absorb heat B Water is good solvent.

C Water contracts on cooling D Water expands when it is frozen Question 50: The word “outstanding” in paragraph is closest in meaning to

A exceptionally good B special C amusing D important Question 51: According the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT _

A the part of the earth covered by water B responsible for all forms of life C in danger of freezing over D a source of natural resources Question 52: The author’s tone in the passage can best be described as

A dispassionate B speculative C biased D dogmatic Question 53: The author organizes the passage by _.

A juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas B comparison and contrast C general statement followed by examples D hypothesis and proof

Question 54: Which of the following statements would be the most likely to begin the paragraph immediately following the passage?

A Water has the ability to erode land

B Droughts and flooding are two types of disasters associated with water C Another remarkably property of ice is its strength

D Magnesium is widely used in metallurgical processes

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions.

Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard Most businesses owned by women are still quite small But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead
