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 questions, from 51 to 60
The 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 from 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” because it _
Question 52: The word “inaccessible” is closest meaning to _
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 outer space.
D rock formations in outré space are similar to those found on the ocean floor
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 .
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 5C 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 .
Question 58: The word “they” in the last paragraph refers to .
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
