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. responsible for all forms of life B. that part of the earth covered by water
