Part II Read the passage and choose the best answer

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast

In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind

survive Resources on land are beginning to be used up The sea, however, can still be hoped to supply many of man’s needs

The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined

Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food The culture

of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy

Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy

Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea The

development of strong, new materials has made this possible

The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve Experts believe that by the year

2000 the problem that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved

31 The major things that the sea offers man are…

c warm temperature and ocean currents d the food, energy sources, and minerals

32 The sea serves the needs of man because

a it provides man with food b it offers oil to man

c it supplies man with minerals d all are correct

33 We can conclude from the passage that

a the sea resources have largely been used up

b the sea, in a broad sense, has not yet been developed

c the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals and energy sources of the sea have already been solved

34 The world “Oriental people” ion the fourth paragraph probably mean…

c European people d American people

35 The title for this passage is …

c Technology for Exploiting the Sea d Man and the Sea
