HSD003 Lesson 2 Exam no.- 700106RR
Question
1. This question is based on the following paragraph. The sentences are numbered to help
you answer the question.
(1) Scientists generally agree that Earth is getting warmer due to what's called the
greenhouse effect. (2) A greenhouse stays warm because sunlight and heat coming through
the glass roof are mostly trapped. (3) The heat doesn't radiate back into the atmosphere
because it's held in by the glass. (4) Something like that happens on Earth. (5) The
atmosphere acts like a blanket that keeps the Sun's heat from leaking away into space.
What is the main conclusion you are to draw from this paragraph?
A. The atmosphere is what keeps the planet warm.
B. Greenhouses help most plants to grow more quickly.
C. The greenhouse effect is changing Earth's atmosphere.
D. The sun's heat can easily leak away out into space.
2. This question is based on the following passage.
Both Seagulls and wild geese are large birds. They're also similar in that both kinds of birds
can fly over great distances. On the other hand, seagulls are scavengers, while wild geese
aren't. Seagulls, for example, are often found around garbage dumps. Geese, however, feed
on things like seeds and insects. Another important difference between the two kinds of birds
is that geese fly on long annual migrations of well over 1,000 miles. Seagulls will migrate far
inland to search for food. However, they don't follow seasonal patterns of migration like wild
geese.
Clue words showing that contrasts are being made in this paragraph include
A. both and difference.
