Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
In many of the temperate, mountainous regions of the world, winter sports
are a significant part of both the economy and the culture. Ski resorts are found on
all continents except Antarctica, and sufficient amounts of snow are needed for their
operation. When the weather doesn’t cooperate, artificial snow is created. The large-
scale implementation of snowmaking began in the 1970s in the French Alps. It gained
popularity in North America afterthe disastrous 1977 ski season, when a drought kept
many resorts closed for the entire winter.With the advent of snowmaking, the slopes
started opening earlier and closing later in the season. During the ski season, snow

levels can be maintained, even without regular snowfall.

The creation of usable artificial snow requires certain conditions.
Temperatures should ideally be between -5˚C and -10˚C, with relative humidity less
than 40 percent. Large machinescalled “snow guns” shoot water and compressed air
into the atmosphere. The water droplets freeze as they fall. In many cases, additives
of bacterial protein are used to accelerate freezing, in spite of concerns about how
these bacteria may disrupt ecosystems. Because it is formed from water droplets,
artificial snow is inherently different from naturally occurring snow. Instead of water
droplets, natural snow comprises thin flakes made up of tiny points in a symmetric
design. The structure of natural snow creates a texture with a desirable level of
friction, but artificial snow lacks this complex crystalline structure. Additionally,
machine-madesnow is often wetter than real snow, which is relatively dry.
As it lacks the texture of actual snow, artificial snow is not uniformly popular
with winter sports enthusiasts, in spite of its widespread use. It causes concern
amongst environmentalists as well. The energy required to create snow is
considerable, and a huge amount of water is needed for snowmaking. Much of this
water is being diverted from rivers and streams-in areasthat are already prone to
water shortages. But the winter sports industry has experienced expansion and
consolidation that brings with it an increased drive for profit. This, coupled withthe
burgeoning effects of increasing average temperatures in many areas, makes it
unlikely thatthe popularity of snowmaking will begin to wane any time soon.

66. What is the passage mainly about?

A. the increased popularity of skiing B. the history of snowmaking
C. the differences between types of snow D. the creation of snow for
winter sports
67. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that .
A. All ski resorts closed in 1977 with the advent of snowmaking.
B. The ski season is shorter with the advent of snowmaking.
C. There was a drought in North America after the year 1977.
D. The ski season is longer thanks to the advent of snowmaking.

Read the text and think of the word which best fits each gap.
Although the term “greenhouse effect” makes one think of global warming and
environmental problems, without it, the Earth would be too cold to support life. How
does the greenhouse effect (76) our planet warm? As sunlight (77)

the Earth’ssurface, some of it is (78) back, and some of it is trapped by our

atmosphere. Thisabsorbed energy warms the planet. A real greenhouse works on a
(79) principle. A
greenhouse is a building for plants, and (80) glass walls and a
glass ceiling. Theglass surfaces allow the sun’s energy to enter and (81)

function to keep thecaptured heat from rising and escaping. To understand how the
natural greenhouse effect can

The air on
Venus is very thick and traps a great deal of heat. The resulting surface temperature

around 900 degrees Fahrenheit, (84) is too hot for
life to survive.On the other hand, the air on Mars is very thin and cannot retain
heat energy very well. (85) , the
planet has an average temperature of about -80 degrees Fahrenheit, which is too cold
to support life. Earth seems to have the perfect mixture of proper atmosphere and
