Questions 46-55 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land art 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 completed
inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,6000 metres deep Total without light and subjected to
intense pressures hundreds of times greater than the Earth's surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sedimernts 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 and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady
Trang 3position 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 kilometres and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 24 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 probably 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 ast 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
46 The author refers to the ocean bottom as a "frontier" because it
47 The word "inaccessible" is closest in meaning to
48 The author mentions outer space in the first paragraph because
A the Earth's climate millions of years ago was similar to conditions in outer space
B it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment
C rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor
D techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration
49 Which of the following is true of the Glomar Challengfer?
50 The word "extracting" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
51 The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant because it was
A an attempt to find new sources of oil and gas
B the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom
C composed of geologists from all over the world
D funded entirely by the gas and oil industry
52 The word "strength" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
53 The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to
54 The DSDP can be said to be in terms of geological exploration
55 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 Information was revealed about the Earth's past climatic changes
D Geologists observed forms of marine life never before seen

Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among
