Questions 51－56 are based on the following passage.
Awardedthe Nobel Prize for physics in 1918, German physicist Max Planck is bestremembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped usher in anew era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community’sunderstanding of atomic and subatomic processes.
Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to highfrequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later calledquantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is now recognized as one of the fundamental constants of the world.
Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields.
51.In which of the following fields did Max Planck not make a significantcontribution?
A.Optics. B. Thermodynamics. C. Statistical mechanics. D. Biology.

A.only a German physicist could discover such a theory
B.quantum theory, which led to the development of twentieth century physics, is basically a mathematical formula
C.Planck’s constant was not discernible before 1900
D.radiation was hard to study
56.“An idea” as used in line 5, refers to .

D.the equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over therange of low to high frequencies
Questions 57－62are based on the following passage.
There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission decided that themodern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter ofrecord that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called “baseball”.Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and differentnames in various parts of the country — “town ball”, “rounders”, or “one oldcat”. Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of thegame.
Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rulesCartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modern baseball. The game was played on a “diamond” infieldwith the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams.The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.
57.Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?
A.Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.
B.Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed very little fromtoday’s game.
C.As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called “baseball.”
D.The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn ofthe century.
58.What was the first professional baseball team called?
A.New York Knickerbockers. B. MilwaukeeBraves. C. Cincinnati Red Stockings. D. Brooklyn Dodgers.
59.Who first gave baseball a standard set of rules?
A.Abner Doubleday. B. AlexanderCartwright. C. Albert Spalding. D. Babe Ruth.
60.Which of the following was not a predecessor of baseball?
A.Rounders. B. Town ball. C. Cricket. D. One old cat.
61.The tone of the passage is .
A.persuasive B. informative C. biased D. argumentative

A.exercise B. leisure C. profit D. socializing
Questions 63－68are based on the following passage.
Theblue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particlessuspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Althoughwaters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water iscommonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. Thisis caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are onesource of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the waterbrown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow of large rivers can often be observed many miles offshore by the coloration of suspendedsoil particles.
Marine phytoplankton (Greek for “plant wanderers”) are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms, whichphotosynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatoms are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, morerecently, electron scanning microscopists.
63.Green water near coastlines is almost always caused by .
A.sand color
B.red pigments in coastal waters
C.blue pigment
D.reflected light and yellow pigment from plant life

66.Which of the following is not a type of phytoplankton?
A.Green algae. B. Diatoms. C. Blue-green algae. D. Amoeba.
67.The growth of phytoplankton is often limited by the availability of .
A.oxygen B. hydrogen C. nitrogen D. carbon dioxide
68.The main idea of this passage is that .
A.light causes sea color
B.sea coloration is varied because of a combination of length of light waves and microscopic plant life and silt
C.microscopic plant life causes sea color
D.water composition causes sea color
Questions 69－75are based on the following passage.
The United States government publishes guidelines for appropriate nutrient intakes. These are known as the RecommendedDietary Allowances (RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition. RDAs are suggested amounts of calories, protein, and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet. For other dietary substances, specific goals must await further research. However, forthe U.S. population as a whole, increasing starch and fiber in one’s diet andreducing calories (primarily from fats, sugar, and alcohol) is sensible. These suggestions are especially appropriate forpeople who have other factors for chronic diseases due to family history of obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who usetobacco.
Snacks can furnish about one-fourth of the calorie requirements among teenagers. Those snacks should also provide much of the day’s allowances for protein, minerals, and vitamins. Sandwiches, fruit, and milk make good snacksfor active teenagers. Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal. A grilled cheese sandwich or a bowl of whole-grain cereal is just as nutritious in the morning as it is at noon.In addition, a good breakfast consists of any foods that supply aboutone-fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.
69. The passage directly states that most of the U.S. population should increase their intake of .
A.protein B. fats C. starch and fiber D. sandwiches
