　　the English working class in the nineteenth century?

　　(A) Extortionate food prices

　　(B) Geographical displacement

　　(D) Alienation from fellow workers

　　even better novel if Gaskell had

　　character

　　(B) made no attempt to re-create experiences of

　　which she had no firsthand knowledge

　　dialects

　　(D) grown up in an industrial city

　　(E) managed to transcend her position as an outsider

　　Barton" in line 29 without changing the meaning

　　As of the late 1980’s. neither theorists nor large-

　　scale computer climate models could accurately predict

　　whether cloud systems would help or hurt a warming

　　globe. Some studies suggested that a four percent

　　(5)increase in stratocumulus clouds over the ocean could

　　compensate for a doubling in atmospheric carbon diox-

　　ide, preventing a potentially disastrous planetwide temp-

　　erature increase. On the other hand, an increase in cirrus

　　clouds could increase global warming.

　　(10) That clouds represented the weakest element in cli-

　　mate models was illustrated by a study of fourteen such

　　models. Comparing climate forecasts for a world with

　　double the current amount of carbon dioxide, researchers

　　found that the models agreed quite well if clouds were

　　(15)not included. But when clouds were incorporated, a wide

　　range of forecasts was produced. With such discrepancies

　　plaguing the models, scientists could not easily predict

　　how quickly the world’s climate would change, nor could

　　they tell which regions would face dustier droughts or

　　deadlier monsoons.

　　24.The author of the passage is primarily concerned

　　with

　　(A) confirming a theory

　　(B) supporting a statement

　　(D) predicting future discoveries

　　(E) reconciling discrepant findings

　　25. It can be inferred that one reason the fourteen models

　　described in the passage failed to agree was that

　　(A) they failed to incorporate the most up-to-date

　　information about the effect of clouds on

　　climate

　　(B) they were based on faulty information about

　　factors other than clouds that affect climate.

　　the overall effects of clouds on climate

　　(D) their originators disagreed about the kinds of

　　forecasts the models should provide

　　(E) their originators disagreed about the factors
