Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration
While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building's history As a result of this
new restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound 5 that it had when it was first built Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall 10 where accomplished musicians gained fame Despite its reputation, however, the concert
hall suffered from several detrimental renovations over the years During the Great Depression, when
fewer people could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses As a result, a coffee shop was opened 15 in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra cotta walls with windowpanes A renovation in 1946 seriously
damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole
in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and air vents The hole was later 20 covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling, but the hall never sounded the same afterwards
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate developers unveiled plans to demolish 25 Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the
site This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New
York to buy the property The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city In the current restoration, builders tested each new material for its 30 sound qualities, and they replaced the hole in the ceiling with a dome The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and closed the coffee shop Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked more promising

Trang 7Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned undersea vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellite technology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations
of divers and diving equipment for scientist’s research on the great oceans of the world Without a
vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited Because
undersea pressure affects their speech organs, communication among divers has always been difficult
or impossible But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human life and make direct observation by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples taken from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of the water Some submarines can dive to depths of more than seven miles
and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet In addition, radio equipped buoys can be operated by
remote control in order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories via satellite Particularly important for ocean study are data about water temperature, currents, and weather Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and color of the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents from laboratories on dry land Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze data from submarines and satellite
By creating a model of the ocean’s movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the environment
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly
and more effectively Some of humankind’s most serious problems, especially those concerning
energy and food, may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology
71 With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A Technological advances in oceanography
B Communication among divers
C Direct observation of the ocean floor
D Undersea vehicles
72 The word “sluggish” is closest in meaning to .
A nervous
B confuse
C slow moving
D very week
73 Divers have had problems in communicating under water because
A the pressure affected their speech organs
B the vehicles they used have not been perfected
C they did not pronounce clearly
D the water destroyed their speech organs
74.This passage suggests that the successful exploration of the ocean depends upon _
A vehicles as well as divers
B radios that divers use to communicate.
C controlling currents and the weather
D the limitations of diving equipment
75 Undersea vehicles
A are too small for a man to fit inside
B are very slow to respond
C have the same limitations that divers have
D make direct observations of the ocean floor
76 The word “cruise” in the paragraph1 could best be replaced by .
A travel at a constant speed
B function without problems
C stay in communication
D remain still
77 How is radio-equipped buoy operated?
A By operators inside the vehicle in the part underwater
Trang 8B By operators outside the vehicle on a ship.
C By operators outside the vehicle on a diving platform
D By operators outside the vehicle on a laboratory on shore
78 Which of the following are NOT shown in satellite photographs?
A The temperature of the ocean’s surface
B Cloud formation over the ocean
C A model of the ocean’s movements
D The location of sea ice
79.The word “ those” refer to _.
80 Accoding to the author, what are some of the problems the underwater studies may eventually resolve?
A Weather and temperature control
B Food and energy shortages
C Transportation and communication problems
D Overcrowding and housing problems
