Questions 46 - 55. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

The atmosphere of Venus is quite different from ours. Measurements taken from the Earth show a
high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus. In fact, carbon dioxide makes up 96
percent of Venus atmosphere; nitrogen makes up almost all the rest. The Earths atmosphere, by
comparison, is mainly nitrogen, with a fair amount of oxygen as well. Carbon dioxide makes up less than
0.1 percent of the terrestrial atmosphere.
The surface pressure of Venus atmosphere is 90 times higher than the pressure of the Earths
atmosphere, as a result of the large amount of carbon dioxide in the former. Throughout Earths history,
carbon dioxide on Earth has mixed with rain to dissolve rocks; the dissolved rock and carbon dioxide
eventually flow into oceans, where they precipitate to form new terrestrial rocks, often with the help of
life-forms. If this carbon dioxide were released from the Earths rocks, along with lower carbon dioxide
trapped in seawater, our atmosphere would become as dense and have as high a pressure as that of Venus.
Venus, slightly closer to the Sun than Earth and thus hotter, had no oceans in which carbon dioxide could
dissolve or life to help take up the carbon.
Also, Venus has probable lost almost all the water it ever had. Since Venus is closer to the Sun
than Earth is, its lower atmosphere was hotter even early on. The result was that more water vapor went
into its upper atmosphere, where solar ultraviolet rays broke in up into hydrogen and oxygen. The
hydrogen, a light gas, escaped easily; the oxygen has combined with other gasses or with iron on Venus
surface.
Studies from the Earth show that the clouds on Venus are primarily composed of droplets of
sulfuric acid, with water droplets mixed in. Sulfuric acid may sound strange as a cloud constituent, but the
Earth too has a significant layer of sulfuric acid droplets in its stratosphere. However, the water in the
lower layers of the Earths atmosphere, circulating because of weather, washes the sulfur compounds out
of these layers, whereas Venus has sulfur compounds in the lower layers of its atmosphere in addition to
those in its clouds.

46. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Atmospheric differences between Venus and Earth.
B. How Venus lost the water it once had.
C. The influence of the Sun on Venus.
D. A comparison between the upper and the lower atmosphere on Venus.
47. In terms of their amount in the atmosphere, what is the proportion of carbon dioxide on
Earth and on Venus?
A. almost 1000
B. almost 100
C. almost 1/3
D. almost 90

Questions 56 - 65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

Color in textiles is produced by dyeing, by printing, or by painting. Until the nineteenth century,
all dyes were derived from vegetable or, more rarely, animal or mineral sources. Since madder plants
could be grown practically everywhere, the roots of some species of the madder plant family were used
from the earliest period to produce a whole range of reds. Red animal dyes, derived from certain species of
scale insects, were also highly value from ancient times through the Middle Ages. Blues were obtained
from wood, a plant common in Europe and also used in the Near East from the beginning of the Christian
era. Before the first, nonfading solid green was invented in early nineteenth century, greens were
achieved by the overdyeing or overprinting of yellow and blue. However, yellow dyes, whether from weld
or some other plant sources such as saffron or turmeric, invariably fade or disappear. This accounts for the
bluish tinge of what were once bright greens in, for example, women tapestry.
The range of natural colors was hugely expanded and, indeed, superseded by the chemical dyes
developed during the eighteen hundreds. By 1900, a complete range of synthetic colors had been evolved,
many of which reached a standard of resistance to fading from exposure to light and to washing that
greatly exceeded that of natural dyestuffs. Since then, petroleum industry has added many new chemicals,
and from these, other types of dyestuffs have been developed. Much of the research in dyes was
stimulated by the peculiarities of some of the new synthetic fibers- Acetate rayon, for example, seemed at
first to have no affinity for dyes and a new range of dyes had to be developed; nylon and Terylene
presented similar problems.
The printing of textiles has involved a number of distinct methods. With the exception of printing
patterns directly onto the cloth, whether by block, roller, or screen, all of these are based on dyeing;
that is, immersion of the fabric in a dye bath.

56. The passage mainly discusses the __________ .

B. Advantages of chemical dyes over dyes derived from plants and animals
