Task 2: READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
Because the low latitudes of the Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than
the latitude near the poles, and because the nature of heart is to expand and move, Heat is
transported from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes. Some of this heat is moved by
winds and some by ocean currents, and some gets stored in the atmosphere in the form of latent
heat. The term “latent hear” refers to the energy that has to be used to convert liquid water to
water vapor. We know that if we warm a pan of water on a stove, it will evaporate, or turn into
vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room temperature. We also know that if we hang wet
clothes outside in the summertime they will dry faster than in winter, when temperatures are
colder. The energy used in both cases to change liquid water to water vapor is supplied by heat –
supplied by the stove in the first case and by the Sun in the latter case. This energy is not lost. It
is stored in water vapor in the atmosphere as latent heat. Eventually, the water stored as vapor in
the atmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy will be release to the atmosphere.
In the atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun’s incoming energy is used to evaporate
water, primarily in the tropical oceans. Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the
Sun’s energy. By analyzing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have
estimated the quantity to be about 90 watts per square meter, or nearly 30 percent of the Sun’s
energy. Once this latent heat is stored within the atmosphere, it can be transported, primarily to
higher latitudes, by prevailing, large-scale winds. Or it can be transported vertically to higher
levels in the atmosphere, where it forms clouds and subsequent storms, which then release the
energy back to the atmosphere.
81. The passage mainly discussed how heat ________.
A. is transformed and transported in the Earth’s atmosphere
B. is transported by ocean currents
C. can be measured and analyzed by scientists
D. moves about the Earth’s equator
82. The passage mentions that the tropics differ from the Earth’s polar regions in which of the
following ways?
A. The height of cloud formation in the atmosphere
B. The amount of heat they receive from the Sun
C. The strength of their large scale winds
D. The strength of their oceanic currents
83. The word “convert” in line 5 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. mix B. change C. adapt D. reduce
84. Why does the author mention “the stove” in line 9?
A. To describe the heat of the Sun B. To illustrate how water vapor is stored
C. To show how energy is stored D. To give an example of a heat source
85. According to the passage, most ocean water evaporation occurs especially ________.
A. around the higher latitudes B. in the tropics
C. because of large-scale winds D. because of strong ocean currents
86. According to the passage, 30 percent of the Sun’s incoming energy ________.
A. is stored in clouds in the lower latitudes B. is transported by ocean currents
C. never leaves the upper atmosphere D. gets stored as latent heat

87. The word “it” in line 17 refers to________.
A. square meter B. the Sun’s energy C. latent heat D. the atmosphere
88. The word “primarily” in line 17 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. chiefly B. originally C. basically D. clearly
89. The word “prevailing” in line 18 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. essential B. dominant C. circular D. closest
90. All of the following words are defined in the passage EXCEPT________.
A. low latitudes (line 1) B. latent heat (line 4)
C. evaporate (line 6) D. atmosphere (line 13)
