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, 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 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 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 oof 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 The author refers to the ocean bottom as a "frontier" in line because it (A) is not a popular area for scientific research (B) contains a wide variety of life forms (C) attracts courageous explorers (D) is an 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 ongoing project (C) It has gone on over 100 voyages For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org For more material

very good skeletons, two incomplete skeletons, and an isolated feather, all from the Solnhofen limestone of Bavaria, Germany This fine-grained rock, which is extensively quarried for lithographic stone, was evidently deposited in a shallow (5) coral lagoon of a tropical sea, and flying vertebrates occasionally fell into the water and were buried by the fine limy mud, to be preserved with remarkable detail In this way, the late Jurassic bird skeletons, which have been named Archaeopteryx, were fossilized And not only were the bones preserved in these skeletons, but so also were imprints of the feathers If the indications of feathers had not been preserved in (10)association with Archaeopteryx, it is likely that these fossils would have been classified among the dinosaurs, for they show numerous theropod characteristics Archaeopteryx were animals about the size of a crow, with an archeosaurian type of skull, a long neck, a compact body balanced on a pair of strong hind limbs, and a long tail The forelimbs were enlarged and obviously functioned as wings (15) Modern birds, who are the descendants of these early birds, are highly organized animals, with a constant body temperature and a very high rate of metabolism In addition, they are remarkable for having evolved extraordinarily complex behavior patterns such as those of nesting and song, and the habit among many species of making long migrations from one continent to another and back (20)each year Most birds also have very strong legs, which allows them to run or walk on the ground as well as to fly in the air Indeed, some of the waterbirds, such as ducks and geese, have the distinction of being able to move around proficiently in the water, on land, and in the air, a range in natural locomotor ability that has never been attained (25)by any other vertebrate According to the author, all of-the following evidence relating to the first birds was found EXCEPT (A) nesting materials (B) four skeletons in good condition (C) two fragmented skeletons (D) a single feather (A) confused with others (B) gradually weakened (C) protected from destruction (D) lost permanently It can be inferred from the passage
