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

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

C 80,000 cubic miles of water D 300 million cubic miles of water Question 41: The word “replenish” in paragraph can best replaced by
A fill again B replace C evaporate D form
Question 42: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because A evaporation and condensation create a water cycle B there are currents in the oceans
C they not need oxygen D ice floats Question 43: 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 44: The word “outstanding” in paragraph is closest in meaning to
A exceptionally good B special C amusing D important
Question 45: 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 46: The author’s tone in the passage can best be described as
A dispassionate B speculative C biased D dogmatic
Question 47: The author organizes the passage by _.

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
