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 dependent. Thus, the
hydrosphere permits organic existence. The hydrosphere has strange characteristics
because water has properties unlike those of any other 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 substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic
which 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 practiced, potash is extracted from the Dead
Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the
American Gulf Coast.
Câu 46: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to _______.

C. Droughts and flooding are two types of disasters associated with water.
D. Magnesium is widely used in metallurgical processes.
Câu 54: The author organizes the passage by _______.
A. juxtaposition of true and untrue ideas B. hypothesis and proof
C. general statements followed by examples D. comparison and contrast
Câu 55: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of water?
A. Water contracts on cooling. B. Water can absorb heat.
C. Water is a good solvent. D. Water expands when it is frozen.
