Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D 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 9 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.

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

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions.
 During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
 During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engageD. National, regional, and local women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and storeD. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians.
 Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the "great women" theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on "great men.' To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women's right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being publisheD.
Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The role of literature in early American histories
B. The place of American women in written histories
C. The keen sense of history shown by American women
D.The "great women" approach to history used by American historians
Question 56: The word "contemporary" in the 1st paragraph means that the history was
A. informative 	B. thoughtful 	C. written at that time 	D. faultfinding
Question 57: In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that.....
A. a woman's status was changed by marriage
B. even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored
C. only three women were able to get their writing published
D. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women
Question 58: The word "celebratory" in the 2nd paragraph means that the writings referred to......
A. related to parties 	B. religious 	C. serious 	D. full of praise
Question 59: The word "they" in the 2nd paragraph refers to......
A. efforts 	B. authors 	C. counterparts 	D. sources

SAMPLE PARAGRAPH
 Among new forms of the mass media, the radio is, in my view, always the most useful one because of the following reasons. First, the radio is the least expensive. You do not spend too much owning a radio set and/or having to pay for the broadcasting station, whereas you have to pay for electricity bill, or ISP bill if you use a PC or an iPAD, with the same purposes, studying or entertainment, etc. Second, a radio set is portable; you can go anywhere with it in your luggage, unlike a cumbersome TV set or a laptop. Third, with battery-run radio set, you can tune in to any favourite wave channel, or programme from any country wherever you are and whenver you feel free to, beiing no nuisance to other people. Fourth, news bulletins are sooner to listen to over the radio than on TV because it does not take too much time or equipment to bring news on the air. In a word, the radio is the most useful and economical mass medium I like best. (178 words)
