Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s As Carolyn Doppelt Gray,

an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur" What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the

corporate world, they are finding obstacles Women are still excluded from most executive suites

Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA

and worked hard they could become chairman of the board Now they've found out that isn't going to

happen, sothey go out on their own"

In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example But this is changing Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers

keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several

bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock

Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do They still face

hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still

35 dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard Most businesses owned by women are still quite small But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead

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 following questions from 56 to 65

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 56: : The author refers to the ocean bottom as a “frontier” because it _

A attracts courageous explorers B is not a popular area for scientific research

C contains a wide variety of life forms D is an unknown territory
