Obviously, if children are bent over their computers for hours, absorbed in some games,(35) doing their homework, then soothing is wrong Parents and children could decide how much use the children should (36) of the Internet, and the children should give their word that it won’t interfere with homework If the children are not holding to this arrangement, the parents can take more drastic steps Dealing with a child’s use of the Internet is not much different from negociating any other sort of bargain about behaviour Any parent who is seriously alarmed about a child’s behaviour should make an appointment to discuss the matter with a teacher Spending time in front of the screen does not (37) affect a child’s performance at school Even if a child is absolutely crazy about using the Internet, he or she is probably just going through a phase, and in a few months there will be something else to worry about Question A ever B rarely C never D always 33: Question A watching at B glaring at C glimpsing at D staring at 34: Question A in spite of B instead of C because of D on account 35: of Question A cause B take C make D create 36: Question A necessary B necessity C necessarily D 37: unnecessary 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 TEXT 1: 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 38: 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 is an unknown territory D attracts courageous explorers Question 39: The word “inaccessible” in the first paragraph is closest meaning to A unrecognizable B unreachable C unusable D unsafe Question 40: The author mentions outer space in the first paragraph because A the Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to conditions in outer space B rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor C it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment D techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration Question 41: Which of the following is true of the Glomar Challenger? 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 Question 42: The word “extracting” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A breaking B locating C removing D analyzing Question 43: The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant because it was A attempt to find new sources of oil and gas B composed of geologists from all over the world C funded entirely by gas and oil industry D the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom Question 44: The word “strength” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to A discovery B purpose C basis D endurance Question 45: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as being a result of the Deep Sea Drilling Project? A Geologists observed forms of marine life never before seen B Geologists were able to determine the Earth’s appearance millions of years ago C Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists D Information was revealed about the Earth’s past climatic changes TEXT 2: During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contribution of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States But little or no notice was taken of these contributions During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored These sources form the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States– one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliff College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men” To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great mass of ordinary women The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published Question 46: What does the passage mainly discuss?
