Part II. Read the passage and choose the best answer Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast. In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, can still be hoped to supply many of man’s needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined. Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problem that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved 31. The major things that the sea offers man are…. a. fish and oil b. mineral and oil c. warm temperature and ocean currents d. the food, energy sources, and minerals 32. The sea serves the needs of man because a. it provides man with food b. it offers oil to man c. it supplies man with minerals d. all are correct 33. We can conclude from the passage that a. the sea resources have largely been used up b. the sea, in a broad sense, has not yet been developed c. the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals and energy sources of the sea have already been solved 34. The world “Oriental people” ion the fourth paragraph probably mean… a. the people in Asia b. African people c. European people d. American people 35. The title for this passage is … a. Sea Harvest b.
