The sea has always interested people. From it they can get food, minerals, and treasures. For
thousands of years, they sailed on the sea. But they could not go far beneath its surface. People want to
explore deep into the sea. However, they are not fishes. Because people must breathe air, they cannot stay
under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, men and women face even more
dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe
air or a special mixture of gases. Divers can wear diving suits and have air pumped to them from above.
They can carry tanks of air on their back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800
times as much as air. Tons of water push against a diver deep in the sea. The diver’s body is under great
pressure. When divers are under great pressure, their blood takes in some of the gases they breathe. As
they rise too quickly, the gases in their blood form bubbles. Divers then suffer from the bends. The bends
can cause divers to double up in pain. Bends can even kill divers..
Question 33: Which statement does the story lead you to believe?
A. Humans are not at home deep in the sea.
B. All divers get the bends sooner or later.
C. The sea began to interest humans in the last few years.
D. Diving suits do not help divers
Question 34: The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_________.
A. deep-sea divers should be in good health.
B. diving under the water too quickly causes the bends
C. divers can wear diving suits to avoid the bends
D. divers explore the deep seas only for treasure
Question 35: A diver’s body in deep water________.
A. is just like a fish’s body.
B. suffers from the bends.
C. is under great pressure.
D. weighs very little.
Question 36: Why do drivers get the bends?
A. They come to the surface too quickly
B. They try to do exercises under the water
C. Their diving suits weigh too much
D. Their blood takes some of the gases they breathe.
Question 37: The gases in a diver’s blood can form________

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 43 to 50
Scientists have discovered that for the last 160,000 years, at least, there has been a consistent
relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and the average temperature of the planet.
The importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was confirmed by scientists
working in eastern Antarctica. Drilling down into a glacier, they extracted a mile-long cylinder of ice
from the hole. The glacier had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated year after year. Thus
drilling into the ice was tantamount to drilling back through time.
The deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago. Scientists
in Grenoble, France, fractured portions of the core and measured the composition of ancient air released
from bubbles in the ice. Instruments were used to measure the ratio of certain isotopes in the frozen water
to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric temperature at the time when that particular bit of water
became locked in the glacier.

The result is a remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide.
Almost every time the chill of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels dropped. When
the global temperature dropped 9°F (5°C), carbon dioxide levels dropped to 190 parts per million or so.
Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth basked in a warm interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels
were around 280 parts per million. Through the 160,000 years of that ice record, the level of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere fluctuated between 190 and 280 parts per million, but never rose much higher-
until the Industrial Revolution beginning in the eighteenth century and continuing today.
There is indirect evidence that the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature change
goes back much further than the glacial record. Carbon dioxide levels may have been much greater than
the current concentration during the Carboniferous period, 360 to 285 million years ago. The period was
named for a profusion of plant life whose buried remains produced a large fraction of the coal deposits
that are being brought to the surface and burned today.
Question 43: Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Chemical causes of ice ages.
B. Techniques for studying ancient layers of ice in glaciers.
C. Evidence of a relationship between levels of carbon dioxide and global temperature.
D. Effects of plant life on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

because it___________
A. allowed scientists to experiment with new drilling techniques
B. permitted the study of surface temperatures in an ice-covered region of the Earth
C. provided insight about climate conditions in earlier periods
D. confirmed earlier findings about how glaciers are formed
Question 45: The phrase "tantamount to" in line 5 is closest in meaning to_____________.
A. complementary to
B. practically the same as
C. especially well suited to
D. unlikely to be confused with
Question 46: According to the passage, scientists used isotopes from the water of the ice core to
determine which of following?
A. The amount of air that had bubbled to the surface since the ice had formed
B. The temperature of the atmosphere when the ice was formed
C. The date at which water had become locked in the glacier
D. The rate at which water had been frozen in the glacier
