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 that follow For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth. Yet, even in the most cloud-free regions of the planet, the solar constant cannot be measured precisely. Gas molecules and dust particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the ground. With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun’s output without being impeded by the Earth’s atmosphere. Solar Max, a satellite from the national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has been measuring the Sun’s output since February 1984. Although a malfunction in the satellite’s control system limited its observation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in 1984. Max’s observations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all. The satellite’s instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun’s energy output, generally amounting to no more than 0.05 percent of the Sun’s mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few weeks. Scientists believe these fluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun’s disk. Sunspots are relatively dark regions on the Sun’s surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the rest of the Sun’s surface. Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with the sightings of the large sunspot groups. In 1980, for example, Solar Max’s instruments, registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reaching the Earth. At the same time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth’s surface. Long- term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine. Although Solar Max’s data have indicated a slow and steady decline in the Sun’s output, some scientists have thought that the satellite’s aging detectors might have become less sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant . This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparison Solar Max’s observations with data from a similar instrument operating on NASA’s Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978. Question 16: What does this passage mainly discuss? A. The measurement of variations in the solar constant B. The components of the Earth’s atmosphere C. The interaction of sunlight and air pollution D. The launching of weather satellite Question 17: Why does the author mention “gas” and “dust” paragraph 1? A. They interfere with accurate measurement of the solar constant. B. They are found it varying concentrations. C. Scientific equipment is ruined by gas and dust. D. They magnify the solar constant. Question 18: Why is it not impossible to measures the solar constant accurately without a satellite? A. There is not enough sunlight during the day. B. The Earth’s atmosphere interferes with the sunlight. C. Some areas on Earth receive more solar energy than others. D. The Earth is too far from the sun. Question 19: The word “scatter” in paragraph 1 is closest meaning to______. A. disperse B. hit C. transform D. capture Question 20: The word “its” in paragraph 2 refers to ________. A. orbit B. satellite C. atmosphere D. malfunction Question 21: The word “detected” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to __________ . A. predicted B. estimated C. registered D. disregarded Question 22: According to the passage, scientists believe variations in the solar constant are related to ________. A. fluctuations in the Earth’s temperature B. increased the level of dust C. unusual weather patterns D. sunspot activity Question 23: Why did scientists think that Solar Max might be giving unreliable information?.

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 that follow Colors and Emotions Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related? Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color that you choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need. The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you. Of course they also affect anyone who comes in contract with you, but you are the one saturated with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day. So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better. Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body. So, the fastest wau to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions. Question 46: What is the main idea of the passage? A. Colorful clothes can change your mood B.
