Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
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 that 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.

A. describe the properties and uses of water
B. illustrate the importance of conserving water
C. explain how water is used in commerce and industry

A. 300 million cubic miles of water
B. 80,000 million cubic of water
C. 80,000 cubic miles of water
D. 24,000 cubic miles of rain
83. The word "replenish" can best be replaced by . A. fill again B. replace C. evaporate D. form
84. According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because .
A. they do not need oxygen B. ice floats
C. evaporation and condensation create a water cycle
D. there are currents in the ocean
85. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of water?
A. Water expands when it is frozen.
B. Water is a good solvent.
C. Water can absorb heat.
D. Water contracts on cooling.

A. exceptionally good B. special C. important D. amusing
87. According to the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT .
A. responsible for all forms of life
B. that part of the earth covered by water
C. a source of natural resources
D. in danger of freezing water
88. The author's tone in the passage can best be described as . A. dogmatic B. dispassionate C. speculative D. biased
89. The author organizes the passage by .
A. comparison and contrast
B. juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas
C. general statements followed by examples D. hypothesis and proof

A. Water has the ability to erode land.
B. Magnesium is widely used in metallurgical processes.
C. Another remarkably property of ice is its strength.
