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 from 24 to 30.
Although only a small percentage of the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the Sun is
ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the amount that is emitted would be enough to cause severe damage to most
forms of life on Earth were it all to reach the surface of the Earth. Fortunately, all of the Sun’s
ultraviolet radiation does not reach the Earth because of a layer of oxygen, called the ozone layer
e n c i rc l i n g the Earth in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 15 miles above the Earth. The ozone
layer absorbs much of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation and prevents it from reaching the Earth.
Ozone is a form of oxygen in which each molecule consists of three atoms (O3) instead of the
two atoms (O2) usually found in an oxygen molecule. Ozone forms in the stratosphere in a process that
is initiated by ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. UV radiation from the Sun splits oxygen molecules
with two atoms into f re e oxygen atoms, and each of these unattached oxygen atoms then joins up with
an oxygen molecule to form ozone. UV radiation is also capable of splitting up ozone molecules; thus,
ozone is constantly forming, splitting, and reforming in the stratosphere. When UV radiation is
absorbed during the process of ozone formation and reformation, i t is unable to reach Earth and cause
damage there.
Recently, however, the ozone layer over parts of the Earth has been diminishing. Chief among
the culprits in the case of the disappearing ozone, those that are really responsible, are the
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). CFCs meander up from Earth into the stratosphere, where they break
down and release chlorine. The released chlorine reacts with ozone in the stratosphere to form chlorine
monoxide (CIO) and oxygen (O2). The chlorine then becomes free to go through the cycle over and
over again. One chlorine atom can, in fact, destroy hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules in this

repetitious cycle, and the effects of this destructive process are now becoming evident.
Question 24. According to the passage, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun_______.
A. is causing severe damage to the Earth's ozone layer
B. is only a fraction of the Sun's electromagnetic radiation
C. creates electromagnetic radiation D. always reaches the Earth

A. rotating
B. attacking
C. raising
D. surrounding
Question 26. It is stated in the passage that the ozone layer_______.
A. enables ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth B. reflects ultraviolet radiation
C. shields the Earth from a lot of ultraviolet radiation
D. reaches down to the Earth
Question 27. The pronoun “it” in paragraph 2 refers to_______.
A. radiation
B. process
C. formation
D. damage
Question 28. The word “culprits'' in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. Guilty parties
B. Detectives
C. Group members D. Leaders
Question 29. According to the passage, what happens after a chlorine molecule reacts with an ozone
molecule?
A. The ozone breaks down into three oxygen atoms.
B. Two different molecules are created.
C. The two molecules combine into one molecule. D. Three distinct molecules result.
Question 30. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses_______.

A. the negative results of the cycle of ozone destruction
