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 3,600 metres deep Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the earth's Trang 2/5 DeThiMau.vn surface, the 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 and gas industry, the DSDP'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 kilometres 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 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 past climates This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climate-change information that may be used to predict future climates What is the main topic of the passage? A Marine life deep in the ocean B The earth's climate millions of years ago C The first detailed study of the bottom of the ocean D Geologists predictions for the future environment of the earth The author refers to the ocean bottom as a "frontier" in line because it A Is not a popular area for the scientific research B contains a wide range of life forms C attracts courageous explorers D is unknown territory The word "inaccessible" in line is closest in meaning to A unrecognizable B unreachable C unusable D unsafe The author mentions outer space in line 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 Which of the following is true of the Glomar Challenger? A It is a type of submarine B It is an on going project C It has gone on over 100 voyages D It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968 The word "extracting" in line 11 is closest in meaning to A breaking B locating C removing D analysing 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 The word "strength" in line 18 is closest in meaning to A basis B purpose C discovery D endurance The word "they" in line 23 refers to A years B climates C sediments D cores Trang 3/5 DeThiMau.vn 10 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as being a result of the Deep Sea Driling 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 VII Read the following passage carefully, and then select the correct option to complete it When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you not (1) understand Sometimes you (2) the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you guess The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (3) of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is (4) remembering that every dictionary has its limitations Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (5) of contexts It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (6) an English-English dictionary In most exams, you are not permitted to use a dictionary (7) you are allowed to use one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited You are, (8) _, forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words When you come across unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic However, if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will (9) a number of possible problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first thought likely Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues, both within the sentence and outside, and making use of clues (10) from the formation of the word 1: A wholly B completely C fully D totally 2: A control B check C examine D inspect 3: A extent B degree C range D level 4: A worth B valuable C essential D vital 5: A multiple B variety C variation D diversity 6: A survey B inquire C refer D consult 7: A In case B Although C Provided D However 8: A therefore B yet C however D so that 9: A surpass B go over C get over D come over 10: A derived B originated C coming D extracted WRITING VIII Complete the second sentence using the word given in brackets, beginning as shown Despite winning the race, he wasn’t very pleased (EVEN) He wasn’t very please, Were you able to complete all your work yesterday?
