Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 51 to 60
Trang 10The ocean bottom- a region nearly 2.5 times greater than total land
area of the Earth- is a vast frontier that even today is largely
unexplored and uncharted Until about a century ago , the deep-ocean
floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging
over 3,6000 meters deep Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface, deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans , in some ways
as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning
of the National Science Foundation’s Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil gas industry, the Dad’s drill ship , the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very
deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean
floor
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15 –year research program that ended in November 1983 During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624
drilling sites around the world The Glomar Challenger’s core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will problem look like millions of years in the future Today , largely on
the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’s
voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth
The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the world’s past climates Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching
back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated
Trang 11from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change-information that may be used to predict future climates
Question 51: : The author refers to the ocean bottom as a “frontier”
A unusable B unreachable C unrecognizable D unsafe
Question 53: The author mention outer space in the first paragraph
because _
A it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human
environment
B techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to
those used in ocean exploration
C the Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to condition in
A It is a type of submarine B It has gone on over 100 voyages
C It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968 D It is an ongoing project Question 55 : The word “extracting” in the second paragraph is closest
in meaning to
A locating B breaking C analyzing D removing
Question 56: The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant because it
was
A attempt to find new sources of oil and gas
B funded entirely by the gas and oil industry
Trang 12C the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom
D composed of geologists from all over the world
Question 57: The word “strength” in the third paragraph is closest in
meaning to
A endurance B basis C discovery D purpose
Question 58: The word “they” in the last paragraph refers to .
A sediments B cores C climates D years
Question 59: The DSDP can be said to be in terms of geological
exploration
A a total flop B a west of time and effort C a great success
D of crucial importance Question 60: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
as being a result of the Deep Sea Drilling Project ?
A Geologists were able to determine the Earth’s appearance hundreds
of millions of years ago
B Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists.
C Geologists observed forms of marine life never before seen
D Information was revealed about the Earth’s past climatic changes
Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the following questions from 61 to 70.
Are organically grown foods the best choices ? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown
and marketed food products are now being debated Advocates of
organic foods – a term whose meaning varies greatly – frequently
proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more nutritional
quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has been sparked by
sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a
Trang 13diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods There are numerous
unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic
ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to fertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains and the like One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods But
in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can
maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than
conventionally grown foods So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food and buy only expensive organic foods instead
Question 61: The word “Advocates” is closest in meaning to which of
the following ?
A Proponents B Inspectors C Consumers D Merchants
Question 62: In the first paragraph, the word “other” refers to _.
A advocates B products C advantages D organic foods
Question 63: The “ welcome development” mentioned is an increase
in _
A the amount of health food grown in North American
B interest in food safety and nutritional quality of the typical North
American diet
C the number of consumers in North American
D the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
Question 64: According to the first paragraph , which of the following
is true about the terms “ organic foods” ?
A It has been used only in recent years B It is seldom used by
consumers
C It has no fixed meaning D It is accepted by most
nutritionists
