(1) Los Angeles is the second most populous city in the United States. It was
founded in 1781 and originally governed by the Spanish. In 1821, it became part of
Mexico following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, it was sold to the US
after the Mexican-American war. During its early days of establishment, it was a
market town where nearby farmers and ranchers met to trade.
In 1876, a railroad was built to link Los Angeles to San Francisco and, through
San Francisco, to the rest of the United States. By 1885 a new railroad provided a
direct route between Los Angeles and Chicago. In the 1890's oil was discovered in
Los Angeles. To transport the oil to other countries, the Los Angeles harbor was
completed in 1914. Since then, the city has become not only a fishing center but also
an ocean port. That year, the Panama Canal opened as well. So, Los Angeles became
the busiest port on the Pacific Coast.
Today the city is the main industrial center in the Western United States. It
produces goods not only for other West Coast communities but also for those in other
parts of the country. It leads the nation in making airplanes and equipment for
exploring outer space. Many movies and television programs are filmed in Los
Angeles. The city has become the business center for states in the West.
Improvements in transportation are the main reason for Los Angeles' growth.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
(A) The future of Los Angeles
(B) The film industry in Los Angeles
(C) The development of Los Angeles
(D) The political changes in Los Angeles

(2) Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, weather, and
climate. Although it is based on atmospheric physics, it is primarily an observational
science. Observed phenomena of special interest include clouds, storms, and air
masses and air fronts. Since World War One, observations of the upper atmosphere
have been made with weather balloons and airplanes. Since World War Two, when
meteorology began to flourish, rockets, radar and artificial satellites have often been
used. Because of sophisticated technology and an expanded data base, weather
forecasting has become more reliable than ever.
The simplest tools of the meteorologist's trade are the wind vane and rain gauge.
These have been known since ancient times. Other more complicated instruments like
the barometer, anemometer, and thermometer, had all been invented by the beginning
of the nineteenth century. Thus, accurate data could be collected.
However, simultaneous observations over a wide area were not practical until
the invention of the telegraph. Historically, meteorology has been primarily concerned
with forecasting the weather, but recently, progress has been made in the area of
weather control. But the elimination of droughts, hurricanes, or snowstorms seems a
distant possibility at best. But who can say what tomorrow may bring?

(A) Problems in modern meteorology
(B) Factors that cause climate change
(C) The importance of weather forecast

    paragraph?
    (A) concern
    (B) frequency
    (C) reward
    (D) surprise

38. According to the passage, which of the following was first used to study the
    weather?
    (A) radar
    (B) thermometer
    (C) weather balloons
    (D) a device to measure rainfall

39. According to the passage, which of the following is true about the invention of the
    telegraph?
    (A) It created new possibilities for forecasters.
    (B) It led to the development of the barometer.
    (C) It ended the era of pure weather forecasting.
    (D) It enabled meteorologists to start a data base.

40. For which purpose does the last sentence of the passage serve?
    (A) To say that anything is possible
    (B) To comment on tomorrow's weather
    (C) To begin a discussion about climate change
    (D) To note that bad weather is always undesirable
