ACID DUST
Calcite-containing dust particles blow into the air and combine with nitric acid in polluted air from factories to form an entirely new particle-calcium nitrate These nitrates have optical and chemical properties that are completely different from those of the originally dry dust particles Due to this, climate models need to be updated to reflect this chemistry. Calcite dust is common in arid areas such as Israel, where this past winter scientists collected particles for analysis
Working from a mountaintop, the team collected dust that had blown in from the northern shores of Egypt, Sinai, and southern Israel The particles had combined with air containing pollutants that came from Cairo They analyzed nearly 2,000 individual particles and observed the physical and chemical changes at the W.R Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
An important change in the properties of the newly formed nitrate particles is that they absorb water and retain moisture These particles can scatter and absorb sunlight-presenting climate modelers, who need to know where the energy is going, a new wild card to deal with Other studies of dust samples from the Sahara and the Saudi Arabian coast and loess from China show that the higher the calcium in the mineral, the more reactive they are with nitric acid In fact, once the particle is changed, it stays that way
51 What is the main idea of the passage?
A There is a new particle called calcium nitrate B Factories are polluting the environment
(4)52 Why climate models need to be updated to reflect the chemistry of calcium nitrate? A The new particles can absorb water and retain moisture
B The new particles can scatter and absorb sunlight C to stop acid dust
D The new particles can absorb water, retain moisture , scatter and absorb sunlight 53 Do the particles react with nitric acid?
A No, but they continue to absorb the sun’s energy B No, and the particles not change C Yes, but the changes are temporary D Yes, and the changes are permanent 54 Which of the following may be a result of these particles?
A The chance of an ice age is increased B We may see more rainbows
C The greenhouses effects are increased D We may see an increase in carbon dioxide 55 Why does the passage begin with a description of the properties of calcium nitrate?
A to give background information so the reader can understand the topic better B Because calcium nitrate is the main idea
C to show how elements combine to create calcium nitrate D to prove the existence of calcium nitrate
56 The word “those” in paragraph refers to:
A nitrates B properties C particles D models 57 In the scientists’ research, where did the pollutants come from originally?
A arid areas B the Saudi Coast C Cairo D the Sahara desert 58 It can be inferred that “retain” in the paragraph is closet in meaning to:
A hold B lose C increase D need
59 What is the purpose of the passage?
A to convince the reader that calcium nitrate is bad
B to inform the reader of a new problem in climate modeling C to show how calcium nitrate was created
D to show where calcium nitrate was first discovered 60 In the third paragraph, what does the term “wild card” mean?
A an unknown card in the card game B an unknown item in the scientists’ calculation C a large amount of acid dust D none of the above
VI/ Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer.
Aging is the process of growing old It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the coat Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood They reach their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood After that, they begin to decline Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle In the aged, the joints between the bones also become rigid and more inflexible This can make moving very painful
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller in size Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged It may, for example, result in heart attack
Aging is not a uniform process Different parts of the body wear out at different rates There are great differences among people in their rate of aging Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging-believe this wearing out of the body is controlled by a built-in biological time-clock They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years
61/ What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A Signs of aging are easier to detect in animals than in plants B Aging occurs in every living thing after it has reached maturity C Not all signs of aging are visible
D The outward signs of aging may be seen in old people 62/ What does the word “it” in line refer to?
A aging B a living thing C an illness D an accident 63/ All of the followings may be the outward signs of aging EXCEPT
A the graying of the hair B the wrinkling of the skin C the decline in hearing and eyesight D the loss of appetite
64/ When does the human body begin to lose vigor and the ability to function efficiently? A Soon after reaching adulthood B During childhood
(5)65/ What happens to memorization when the brain begins to age?
A It works less B It becomes forgetful C It declines D It slows down 66/ What does “aging is not a uniform process” mean?
A Not all living things age B Not all people age at the same age C Not all people have signs of aging D Aging doesn't occur in all people 67/ The word “brittle” as used in the second paragraph means
A soft and easily bent B hard and endurable C hard but easily broken D rigid and inflexible 68/ According to the passage, what condition is responsible for many of the diseases of the old?
A the arteries have become thickened and constricted B the blood vessels lead from the heart C the brain gets smaller in size D bones become lighter and brittle 69/ What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A Gerontologists have controlled the process of aging
B Gerontologists are working hard to help people live longer and more healthily C Gerontologists are trying to give people an eternal life
D Gerontologists are now able to slow down the process of aging 70/ According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A All living things grow old
B Aging is unavoidable in any living things
C Plants show less signs of aging than any other living things D Most body parts wear out during the course of a lifetime
