Read the following passage ad mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 35.
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 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.
Question 31: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to ________.
A. explain how water is used in commerce and industry
B. describe the properties and uses of water in the oceans
C. illustrate the importance of conserving water
D. compare water with other liquids
Question 32: The phrase “This vast amount” in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. 80,000 million cubic miles of water
C. 80,000 cubic miles of water

B. 300 million cubic miles of water
D. 24,000 cubic miles of rain

Question 33: The word “outstanding” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. special

B. exceptionally good

C. important

D. amusing

Question 34: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because _______.
A. they do not need oxygen

B. evaporation and condensation create a water cycle

C. ice floats

D. there are currents

Question 35: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of water?
A. Water expands when it is frozen.

B. Water can absorb heat.

C. Water is a good solvent

D. Water contracts on cooling.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate
future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists,
however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious
processing.
Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and
ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such
unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a
dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food
relative to the sun's position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source
is from the hive.
Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and
shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of
the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent farther from the previous site, foraging
honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers
arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No
one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could
have inferred the location of the new site.
Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the
otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural
environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees
occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees
compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five
chips and three chips, the other our chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they
wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort
