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 questions, from 51 to 60

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 _

A unusable B unreachable C unrecognizable D unsafe

Question 53: The author mention outer space in the first paragraph because _ A it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment

B techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration C the Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to condition in outer space

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 A attempt to find new sources of oil and gas

C the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom D composed of geologists from all over the world

Question 57: The word “strength” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to

A endurance B basis C discovery D purpose

Question 58: The word “they” in the last paragraph refers to

A sediments B cores C climates D years

Question 59: The DSDP can be said to be in terms of geological exploration

A a total flop B a west of time and effort C a great success D of crucial importance Question 60: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as being a result of the Deep Sea Drilling Project ?

A Geologists were able to determine the Earth’s appearance hundreds of millions of years ago B Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists

C Geologists observed forms of marine life never before seen D Information was revealed about the Earth’s past climatic changes
