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. 
What geologists call the Basin and Range Province in the United States roughly coincides in its northern portions with the geographic province known as the Great Basin. The Great Basin is hemmed in on the west by the Sierra Nevada and on the east by the Rocky Mountains; it has no outlet to the sea. The prevailing winds in the Great Basin are from the west. Warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean is forced upward as it crosses the Sierra Nevada. At the higher altitudes it cools and the moisture it carriers is precipitated as rain or snow on the western slopes of the mountains. That which reaches the Basin is air wrung dry of moisture. What little water falls there as rain or snow, mostly in the winter months, evaporates on the broad, flat desert floors. It is, therefore, an environment in which organisms battle for survival. Along the rare watercourses, cottonwoods and willows eke out a sparse existence. In the upland ranges, pinion pines and junipers struggle to hold their own.
But the Great Basin has not always been so arid. Many of its dry, closed depressions were once filled with water. Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley were once a string of interconnected lakes. The two largest of the ancient lakes of the Great Basin were Lake Lahontan and Lake Bonneville. The Great Salt Lake is all that remains of the latter, and Pyramid Lake is one of the last briny remnants of the former. There seem to have been several periods within the last tens of thousands of years when water accumulated in these basins. The rise and fall of the lakes were undoubtedly linked to the advances and retreats of the great ice sheets that covered much of the northern part of the North American continent during those times. Climatic changes during the Ice ages sometimes brought cooler, wetter weather to multitude deserts worldwide, including those of the Great Basin. The broken valleys of the Great Basin provided ready receptacles for this moisture.
Question 31: What is the geographical relationship between the Basin and Range Province and the Great Basin?
	A. The Great Basin is west of the Basin and Range Province.
	B. The Great Basin is larger than the Basin and Range Province.
	C. The Great Basin is in the northern part of the Basin and Range Province.
	D. The Great Basin is mountainous; the Basin and Range Province is flat desert.
Question 32: According to the passage, what does the great Basin lack?
	A. Snow	B. Dry air	C. Winds from the west D. Access to the ocean
Question 33: The word "prevailing" is closest in meaning to _____
	A. most frequent	B. occasional	C. gentle	D. most dangerous
Question 34: It can be inferred that the climate in the Great Basin is dry because _____
A. the weather patterns are so turbulent	B. the altitude prevents precipitation
C. the winds are not strong enough to carry moisture 	D. precipitation falls in the nearby mountains
Question 35: The word "it” refers to _____
	A. Pacific Ocean	B. air	C. west	D. the Great Basin
Question 36: Why does the author mention cottonwoods and willows?
	A. To demonstrate that certain trees require a lot of water
	B. To give examples of trees that are able to survive in a difficult environment
	C. To show the beauty of the landscape of the Great Basin.
	D. To assert that there are more living organisms in the Great Basin than there used to be

	A. To explain their geographical formation	
	B. To give examples of depressions that once contained water
	C. To compare the characteristics of the valleys with the characteristics of the lakes
	D. To explain what the Great Basin is like today
Question 38: The words "the former" refer to _____
	A. Lake Bonneville	B. Lake Lahontan	C. The Great Salt Lake	D. Pyramid Lake
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 
Many people are unaware of how many of the products we use every day come from petroleum and natural gas. In the United States each family of four uses more than two tons of petroleum products annually. That’s almost 1200 lb of chemicals each year for every man, woman, and child in the United States – a staggering total of 225 billion pounds of chemicals from petroleum, and to a lesser extent, natural gas.
	Of the vast amount of petroleum and natural gas we consume, more than 90 percent is burned as fuels. Only about 5.5 percent is used for the manufacture of petrochemicals by the chemical industry. These petrochemicals vary widely in their functions and includes such products as drugs, detergents, rubber, paints, fertilizers, dyes, perfumes, explosives, food preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and agricultural chemicals. Finally, about 1.5 percent of the oil and natural gas is used as raw material for plastics. This small percentage translates into the production of billions of pounds of polymers that yield many different and useful products.
	In post-World War II years, the United States was flooded with domestic and imported items of extremely low cost, low quality, and limited lifetime. This led to the image of “cheap plastics” with low durability. Today, however, the image of plastics has changed. Plastics perform an extremely broad range of functions, from heart valves and artificial kidneys to ski boots, nonstick surfaces, supper glues, and spacecraft parts, and they compete with natural products in durability. No other materials except plastics could perform all these different functions.
	Plastics are replacing more and more parts of your car. The use of 1 lb of plastic can replace an average of 3.5 lb of metal in an automobile. An automobile with 400 lb of plastic substituted for metal will weigh about 1000 lb less, which increases its gas mileage by about 3 mi/gal. the fuel savings are estimated to be about 160 million barrels of oil annually. That’s more than the total amount used by the chemical industry as raw materials to make the polymers. As another example, synthetic polymer fibers are commonly used in fabrics, for both economical and practical reasons. If the world’s synthetic fibers were replaced by cotton, this would require an additional 40 million acres of farmland.
	Certainly the use of polymer plastics will increase. One can expect to find more applications in home construction and furniture because of the unlimited design freedom of plastics. Plastics will be used more in drink containers and food packaging. The 700 billion gallons of liquids consumed each year in the United States will find their way to the consumer more and more in plastic bottles. Diseased or malfunctioning parts pf the body will be replaced by specialized plastic components to a greater degree. We are indeed becoming a plastic society.
