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___ 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 Question 52: The word “inaccessible” is closest meaning to ___ .

D. rock formations in outré space are similar to those found on the ocean floor Question 54: Which of the following is True of the Glmmer Challenger ? A. It is a type of submarine . B. It has gone on over 100 voyages . 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 ____. A. locating B. breaking C. analyzing D. removing Question 56: The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant because it was ____.

Geologists observed forms of marine life never before seen D. Information was revealed about the Earth’s past climatic changes . 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 61 to 70. Are organically grown foods the best choices ? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods – a term whose meaning varies greatly – frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others. The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development . However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore. Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to fertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains and the like. One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food and buy only expensive organic foods instead Question 61: The word “Advocates” is closest in meaning to which of the following ? A. Proponents B. Inspectors C. Consumers D. Merchants Question 62: In the first paragraph, the word “other” refers to ___.

A. It has been used only in recent years. B. It is seldom used by consumers. C. It has no fixed meaning. D. It is accepted by most nutritionists . Question 65: The word “unsubstantiated” is closest in meaning to ___. A. uncontested B. unbelievable C. unverified D. unpopular Question 66: The word “maintain” is closest in meaning to ___. A. preserve B. retire C. improve D. monitor Question 67: Who does the author think should NOT buy organic foods ? A. Advocated of organic food B. Wealthy people C. Concerned consumers D.

A. too many farmers will stop using conventional method to grow food crops B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods C. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods D. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods Question 69: According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often ___. A. wealthy B. mistaken C. thrifty D. careless Question 70: What is the author’s attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health foods? A. Very enthusiastic B. Neutral C. Skeptical D.
