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,.
<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> called the ozone layer encirclingthe 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 (O 3) instead of the two atoms (O 2) 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 free 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, itis 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 (ClO) 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 38: According to the passage, what happens after a chlorine molecule reacts with an ozone molecule? A. Three distinct molecules result. B. The ozone breaks down into three oxygen atoms. C. Two different molecules are created. D. The two molecules combine into one molecule. Question 39: It is stated in the passage that the ozone layer........ A. reflects ultraviolet radiation B. enables ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth C. shields the Earth from a lot of ultraviolet radiation D. reaches down to the Earth Question 40: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses........ A. where chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) come from B. the negative results of the cycle of ozone destruction C. how electromagnetic radiation is created D. the causes of the destruction of ozone molecules Question 41: The pronoun "it" in paragraph 2 refers to........ A. process B. radiation C.formation D. damage Question 42: The word "culprits" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following? A. Detectives B. Leaders C. Guilty parties D. Group members Question 43: The word "encircling" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to........ A. rotating B. attacking C. raising D. surrounding Question 44: According to the passage, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun........

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 32 to 38. 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,.
<span class='text_page_counter'>(9)</span> called the ozone layer encirclingthe 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 (O 3) instead of the two atoms (O 2) 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 free 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, itis 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 (ClO) 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 32: The word "culprits" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following? A. Group members B. Guilty parties C. Leaders D. Detectives Question 33: 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 Question 34: The word "encircling" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to........ A. rotating B. raising C. attacking D. surrounding Question 35: According to the passage, what happens after a chlorine molecule reacts with an ozone molecule? A. Two different molecules are created. B. Three distinct molecules result. C. The two molecules combine into one molecule. D. The ozone breaks down into three oxygen atoms. Question 36: The pronoun "it" in paragraph 2 refers to........

A. reaches down to the Earth B. shields the Earth from a lot of ultraviolet radiation C. reflects ultraviolet radiation D. enables ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth Question 38: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses........

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 encirclingthe 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 (O 3) instead of the two atoms (O 2) 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 free 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, itis 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 (ClO) 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 44: It is stated in the passage that the ozone layer........ A. reaches down to the Earth B. enables ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth C. shields the Earth from a lot of ultraviolet radiation D. reflects ultraviolet radiation Question 45: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses........ A. the negative results of the cycle of ozone destruction B. the causes of the destruction of ozone molecules C. how electromagnetic radiation is created D. where chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) come from Question 46: The pronoun "it" in paragraph 2 refers to........ A.formation B. process C. radiation D. damage Question 47: 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. The two molecules combine into one molecule. C. Two different molecules are created. D. Three distinct molecules result. Question 48: The word "encircling" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to........ A. surrounding B. rotating C. raising D. attacking Question 49: The word "culprits" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following? A. Guilty parties B. Detectives C. Leaders D. Group members Question 50: 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.

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 39 to 45. 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 encirclingthe 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 (O 3) instead of the two atoms (O 2) 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 free 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, itis 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 (ClO) 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.

A. always reaches the Earth B. is causing severe damage to the Earth's ozone layer C. is only a fraction of the Sun's electromagnetic radiation D. creates electromagnetic radiation Question 40: The word "encircling" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to........

Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology in college and zoology at Jonhs Hopkins University, and received her master degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by the U.S Fish and Widlife Service, where she works most of her life. Carson's book, Under the Sea Wind, was publish in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were poor until it was re-issued in 1952. In that year, she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean's surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources.She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the limitations of her non-technical readers. In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed.
