For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth. Yet, even in the most cloud free regions of the planet, the solar constant cannot be measured precisely. Gas molecules and dust particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths of the light from ever reaching the ground. With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun s output without being impeded by the Earth s atmosphere. Solar Max, a satellite from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has been measuring the Sun s output since February Although a malfunction in the satellite s control system limited its observation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by astronauts from the space shuttle in Max s observations indicate that the solar constant is not really constant after all. The satellite s instruments have detected frequent, small variations in the Sun s energy output, generally amounting to no more than 0.05 percent of the Sun s mean energy output and lasting from a few days to a few Trang 2/6 Mã đề thi 275 weeks. Scientists believe these fluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of sunspots on the Sun s disk. Sunspots are relatively dark regions on the Sun s surface that have strong magnetic fields and a temperature about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the rest of the Sun s surface. Particularly large fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with sightings of large sunspot groups. In 1980, for example, Solar Max s instruments registered a 0.3 percent drop in the solar energy reaching the Earth. At that time a sunspot group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth s surface. Long term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine. Although Solar Max s data have indicated a slow and steady decline in the Sun s output, some scientists have thought that the satellite s aging detectors might have become less sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant. This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparing Solar Max s observations with data from a similar instrument operating on NASA s Nimbus 7 weather satellite since Question 36: What does this passage mainly discuss? A. The launching of a weather satellite B. The components of the Earth s atmosphere C. The measurement of variations in the solar D.

Scientific equipment is ruined by gas and dust. D. They interfere with accurate measurement of the solar constant. Question 38: Why is not possible to measure the solar constant accurately without a satellite? A. The Earth is too far from the Sun. B. Some areas on Earth receive more solar energy than others.

6 C. There is not enough sunlight during the day. D. The Earth s atmosphere interferes with the sunlight. Question 39: The word scatter in line 3 is closest in meaning to A. emit B. capture C. transform D. disperse Question 40: The word its in line 8 refers to the A. orbit B. satellite C. atmosphere D. malfunction Question 41: The word detected in line 11 is closest in meaning to A. estimated B. disregarded C. registered D. predicted Question 42: According to the passage, scientists believe variations in the solar constant are related to A. sunspot activity B. unusual weather patterns C. increased levels of dust D. fluctuations in the Earth s temperature Question 43: Why did scientists think that Solar Max might be giving unreliable information? A. Solar Max did not work for the first few years. B. The space shuttle could not fix Solar Max s instruments. C. Solar Max s instruments were getting old. D. Nimbus 7 interfered with Solar Max s detectors Question 44: The phrase This possibility in line 23 refers to the likelihood that the A. solar constant has decline B.
