SSAT 阅读考试例题:
Directions:
Read each passage carully and then answer the questions about it. For �each question, decide on the basis of the passage which one of the choices best �answers the questions.
Radiation from the Sun continuously breaks two-atom oxygen molecules into �single atoms. Some of these link up with ordinary oxygen molecules and form �ozone. Some rejoin other free singles and revert to stable molecules. This �Sun-energy process, if lt undisturbed, maintains a fairly constant supply of �ozone above the Earth’s surface. The ozone layer begins about eight miles up and �is distributed thinly to about thirty miles up. This lofty umbrella of ozone �shields the Earth from much of the Sun’s deadly ultraviolet rays. Without the �ozone cover, life on Earth would be literally sunburned to death.
Some scientists believe that relatively small amount of synthetic �chemicals, such as spray-can fluorocarbon or jet exhaust, reach the upper limits �of the atmosphere and break down the three-atom ozone molecules. It is also �believed that just one atom of the spray-can or get pollutant can affect vast �numbers of ozone molecules. Weather research satellites have observed the ozone �shield in great detail, but their data have neither put to rest the “doomsday �theories” nor incited a global campaign to stop destroying the Earth’s �protective covering.
1. According to the passage, ozone is a
(A) kind of radiation
(B) deadly ultraviolet ray
(C) combination of oxygen atoms
(D) synthetic chemical
(E) free-floating atom
2. The destruction of the ozone layer would most likely result in a �decrease in
(A) life on Earth
(B) air pollution
(C) spray-can gases
(D) severe cases of sunburn
(E) radiation from the Sun
In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial �exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the �world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he �became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the �king's favor. After he was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal, he �offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain.
A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 �degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. �Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On �September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a �year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in �search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining �four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally they �found the passage they sought near a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named �this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today we know it as the Strait of �Magellan.
One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer �sailors were privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. �Those who remained crossed the meridian we now call the International Date Line �in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight days on the Pacific Ocean. During �those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and �disease.
Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines �and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the �command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey �to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no �precipice at the edge.

E. north and west
4. One of Magellan's ships explored the ___ of South America for a passage �across the continent.
