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 characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia This characteristic 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 practiced, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast

A. emotional B. neutral C. humorous D. negative Question 41 According the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT _

Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can handle The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth And with increased tourism, it's getting worse The French can't figure out what to with all the garbage left by campers around St Tropez And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution

None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches They don't even mind the pollution No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo
