Question number 23-24 are based on the following text. (Explanation Text)

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without

making physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use

of aerial sensor technology to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in

the atmosphere and oceans) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation

emitted from aircraft or satellites).

There are two main types or remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote

sensing. Passive sensors detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the object or

surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation

measured by passive censors. Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography,

infra-red, charge-coupled devices, and radiometers. Active collection, on the other hand,

emits energy in order to scan objects and areas whereupon a sensor then detects and measures

the radiation that is reflected or back scattered from the target. RADAR and LIDAR are

examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between emission and return is

measured, stabilizing the location, height, speed, and direction of an object.

of knowledge and technology

Question number 24 to 25 are based on the following text (Passage Reading)

Data from the Pioneer spacecraft of NASA apparently prove the theory that the high surface

temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket

of carbon dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight

easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat

radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere from top to bottom. Venus has a relatively

thin atmosphere like the Earth’s, but Venus’ atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent

carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of the Earth. Because of its higher

percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than does

the Earth’s. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of

possible adverse effects on the Earth’s agriculture that could result from the long-term use of

fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

24. According to the passage, data from the Venus study can be used to —-.

A. measure the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere accurately.

B. increase the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

C. test the efficiency of the spacecraft sent to Venus by NASA.

D. predict future agricultural problems on Earth.

E. determine the topography and the surface characteristics of the Earth.

25. We understand from the passage that the atmosphere of Venus —-.

A. is thinner than the atmosphere of the Earth.

B. contains much more carbon dioxide than that of the Earth.

C. traps less heat radiation compared to the atmosphere of the Earth.

D. blocks out dangerous rays from the sun.
