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 following questions.
 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 depepbent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence.
 The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any othe 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 substance 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 practised, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast.

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 following questions.
 Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur." What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own."
 In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's fields": cosmetics and clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in maths and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was a software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers - and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.
 Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small. But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead.
Question 43: According to the passage, Charlotte Taylor believes that women in the 1970s......
A. were still more interested in education than business opportunities
B. had fewer obstacles in business than they do today
C. were unable to work hard enough to succeed in business
D. were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management
Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that businesses operated by women are small because.......
A. women are not able to borrow money easily	B. women prefer a small intimate setting
C. women can't deal with money	D. many women fail at large businesses
Question 45: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Women are better at small businesses than men are
B. Women today are opening more businesses of their own.
C. Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business world.
D. The computer is especially lucrative for women today
Question 46: The word "that" in the first paragraph refers to........
A. a woman becomes chairman of the board	B. women achieving advanced degrees
C. women believing that business is a place for them	D. women working hard
Question 47: The author's attitude about the future of women in business is.......
A. frustrated	B. skeptical	C. negative 	D. optimistic
Question 48: All of the following were mentioned in the passage as detriments to women in the business world EXCEPT....... 
A. women were not trained in business	 B. women lacked ability to work in business
C. women were required to stay at home with their families D. women faced discrimination in business
Question 49: The author mentions the "shoebox under the bed" in the second paragraph in order to.......
A. point out that initially the financial resources of Sandra Kurtzig's business were limited
B. suggest that the company needed to expand
C. show the resourcefulness of Sandra Kurtzig
D. show the frugality of women in business
Question 50: The word "excluded" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to........
A. decorators of	B. often invited to	C. charged admission to	D. not permitted in
