Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springdale, Pensylvania. She studied biology at
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 Wind, 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 provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean's surface, emphasizing
human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic
quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had voluminous
correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always
realized the limitations of her non-technical readers.

In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy.
It proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She
detailed how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate
human food. At the time, spokemen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks
against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed. However,
her work was proved by a 1963 report of the president's Science Advisory Committee.

A. as a researcher B. at college
C. at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service D. as a writer

3. It can be inferred from the passage that in 1952, Carson’s book Under The Sea Wind
A. was outdated B. became more popular than her other books

4. Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the passage as a source of information The
Sea Around Us?
A. printed matter B. talks with experts
C. a research expedition D. letters from scientists
5. The word "reckless" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to
A. irresponsible B. limited C. continuous D. unnecessary
III. Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word. Write it on your answer sheet.
