托福TPO61阅读Passage 2题目

1. According to paragraph 1, why were Miller's experimental results significant?

B. They provided evidence of the importance of electrical charges on early Earth

C. They showed how a key step in the evolution of life on Earth might have occurred.

A. Earth' s early atmosphere probably included hydrogen and ammonia

B. Lightning probably occurred on early Earth.

C. Electrical discharges took place deep below early Earth's surface.

D. Water was present in the early Earth

3. In stating that Miller' s experiment was " elegant" the author means that the experiment was

A. overly expensive to conduct

B. sophisticated but simple

C. based on incorrect information

D. scientifically unnecessary

4. In paragraph 1, why does the author remark that "Amino acids cannot replicate themselves, and are not themselves alive" ?

A. To suggest that other researchers were unable to reproduce Miller' s experimental results

B. To establish the fact that Miller's experiment did not fully explain the origins of life

C. To point out an error in Miller' s educated guess about what the early atmosphere was like

D. To support a statement about the importance of Miller' s experiment

5. The word "Nevertheless" in the passage is closest in meaning to

A. In spite of this

B. It is obvious that

C. By comparison

D. Therefore

6. The phrase "more severe " in the passage is closest in meaning to

A. longer lasting

B. better defined

C. worse

D. Stranger

7. According to paragraph 2, which of the following could have made it possible for oceans on early Earth to be hotter than 100℃?

A. The absence of any established life-forms

B. The heat added to the water by molten lavas

C. High pressure within the atmosphere

D. The composition of the ocean water

8. Select the TWO answer choices that, according to paragraph 2, describe effects that would have resulted from the impacts of meteorites on early Earth. To receive credit, you must select

TWO answers

A. Materials beneath the surface became molten.

B. Seas and oceans became larger.

C. Heat was added to Earth's surface.

D. Volcanic gases were added to the atmosphere

9. Paragraph 2 supports which of the following ideas about life on Earth?

A. Life on Earth probably first became established below the surface.

B. Life probably did not get established until several hundred million years after Earth's formation.

C. The earliest forms of life to become established were probably more sensitive to temperature than modern organisms are.

D. Meteorites were probably responsible for bringing the first organisms to Earth

10. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage?Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information

A. Because we still know little about the precise composition of Earth's early atmosphere, we cannot evaluate Oparin' s theory or Miller's methane-ammonia-hydrogen experiment

B. Current knowledge suggests that Oparin and Miller were wrong about the composition of Earth's early atmosphere.

C. We now know that it was very unrealistic of Oparin and Miller to think that they could identify the precise methane-rich mixture that made up the early atmosphere.

D. Recent progress in understanding Earth's early history indicates that both Oparin and Miller clearly envisioned the precise atmospheric composition of early Earth

Although we do not know the precise composition of the early atmosphere, there has been enough progress made on this subject in recent years that it is possible to say with some certainty that the methane-rich composition envisioned by Oparin, and the methane-ammonia-hydrogen mixture used by Miller in_his experiments, are probably not very realistic. Based on studies of our closest neighbor planets, Mars and Venus, and also considering evidence from Earth' s sedimentary rocks, it seems probable that Earth's early atmosphere was rich in carbon dioxide rather than methane. On both Mars and Venus, carbon dioxide is by far the most abundant gas in the atmosphere. On Earth it is a minor constituent. But there is an enormous amount of this compound buried in the sedimentary rocks of Earth' s crust, enough so that, if it were all released, our atmosphere would be much more like those of our neighboring planets. How did carbon dioxide gas end up in the crust? The answer lies in what geologists refer to as the carbon cycle Through a series of chemical reactions, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere finds itself, in dissolved form, in the oceans. In seawater it combines with calcium to precipitate as calcium carbonate, the main constituent of limestone Over geologic time so much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has been converted to limestone in this fashion that there is more than 100,000 times as much stored as limestone as there is in the atmosphere.

11. According to paragraph 3, what is the significance of the fact that the rocks of Earth's crust now contain an enormous amount of calcium carbonate?

A. It explains why Oparin and Miller believed that Earth's early atmosphere was methane rich.

B. It supports the idea that the atmosphere of early Earth was rich in carbon dioxide.

C. It helps explain where the carbon dioxide in Earth' s atmosphere came from

D. It provides evidence about the likely composition of the crust of early Earth.

12. The word "fashion" in the passage is closest in meaning to

A. period

B. composition

C. way

D. View

13. Look at the four squares【】] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

Oparin, however, had no experimental evidence for the processes he proposed.

Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square【】to add the sentence to the passage

In the 1920s, Aleksandr Oparin, a Russian biochemist, proposed and developed the idea that life originated in the warm, watery environment of early Earth' s surface, under an atmosphere mostly composed of methane【A】.The early seas were believed by Oparin to be rich in simple organic molecules, which reacted to form more complex molecules, eventually leading to proteins and life【B】.Then, almost 30 years after Oparin published his ideas, Stanley Miller demonstrated that amino acids, the building blocks of the proteins necessary for life, could form under conditions thought to prevail on early Earth. 【C】Miller's experiment was elegant. He passed electric discharges through a mixture of methane, hydrogen, ammonia, and steam, and when he analyzed the results, found that he had made amino acids. 【D】The discharges were a proxy for lightning, the gas mixture an educated guess about what the early atmosphere may have been like. Amino acids cannot replicate themselves, and are not themselves alive Nevertheless, this experiment has long been recognized as a landmark for understanding a process that must have been one of the important steps in the evolution of life on Earth, the natural synthesis of amino acids However, it now seems likely that Miller' s experiments may not be directly applicable to the events of the early Archean (that is, early in the geologic eon that lasted from Earth' s formation until about 2.5 billion years ago)

14. Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage Some sentences do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage.

This question is worth 2 points.

Drag your answer choices to the spaces where they belong. To remove an answer choice, click on it.

Building on Oparin' s ideas about how life began on Earth, Miller' s 1950s research showed that natural processes could have formed amino acids.

Answer Choices

A. It now seems likely that conditions on early Earth differed in important ways from those that Miller tried to simulate in his experiment

B. Life could not have become established in the early Archean without the greenhouse effect produced by the volcanic gases that were released into the atmosphere.

C. The amount of calcium carbonate in sedimentary rock suggests that the early atmosphere was probably rich in carbon dioxide rather than methane.

D. Neither Oparin nor Miller considered the role that meteorites would have played in determining environmental conditions on early Earth

E. Temperatures in the seas and oceans of early Earth were probably high and had to cool for life to become established

F. Like the atmospheres on Mars and Venus, Earth's atmosphere today remains substantially unchanged from what it was in the early period after the planets formed.
