The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the news in a

restrained and objective fashion It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for the future by

appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience However, in the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in New York City Their publishers ran sensational stories, not because they were true, but because they sold newspapers Despite price increases, the time was losing £1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896

Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily He hired Carr Van Anda as editor Van

Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his reporters maintained

and emphasized existing good coverage of international news The management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a

penny In April 1912, the paper took many risks to report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic This

greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its

reputation for excellence in world news

In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret government study

of U.S involvement in the Vietnam war When it published the report, it became involved in several

lawsuits The U.S Supreme Court found that the publication was protected by the freedom-of-the-press

clause in the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in the organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.

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 question.

The ocean bottom – a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth – is a vast

frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted, until about century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep Totally without light

and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s 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 frill 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

in 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 word The Glomar Challenger’s core sample 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 sediment 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 had already provided insights into patterns and causes of past climatic change information that may be used

to predict future climates

Question 26: The author refers to the ocean bottom as a “frontier” in line 2 because it .

A is not a popular area for scientific research B contains a wide variety of life forms.

C it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment D.

A It is a type of submarine B It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968

C It is an ongoing project D It has gone on over 100 voyages

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides

information concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news during campaigns presidential knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States

North Americans are familiar with the many “person on the street” interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate

indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain

location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory

workers, depending on which area the news people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel

intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely

reflect a broad range of the population

In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions

An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less

structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired Surveys can be

indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately

There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire

Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer

quarters The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each

beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length

There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system On the plus side, students who

wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity

to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters In addition, although most students begin their

programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students But there are several disadvantages as well Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is

simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed Students also find it

difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time

In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some

colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system In fourteen weeks, faculty and

students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early
