If you were to stop people in the street and ask them to name a ship that had been sunk, it is likely that

the most famous sea __________ (23) in the history of ocean travel.
The Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and a great deal of
publicity had surrounded it. The last point probably explains why ____________ (24) important people

29-32 Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are TRUE or FALSE.
Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology in college and
zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was
hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.
Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wild, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales
were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year, she published The Sea Around Us, which proved a
fascinating look beneath the Ocean’s Surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine
biology. Her imaginary and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed
sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussion with experts in the field. However,
she always realized the limitations of her nontechnical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how
much harm was done by uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food
supply of animals, killed birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the
chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her
finding was flawed. However, her work was vindicated by a 1963 report of the President’s Science
Advisory Committee.
29. Carson primarily studied zoology at John Hopkins University.
30. Carson was in early twenties when she published her first book.
31. In 1952, Carson’s book “Under the Sea Wind” sold a lot of copies.
