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 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

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. 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.

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 questions from 61 to 70.
Are organically grown foods the best choices ? The

advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown
and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates
of organic foods – a term whose meaning varies greatly –
frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more
nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more
nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome
development . However, much of this interest has been sparked
by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate
in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are
not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of
written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the
general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that
eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods
prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health
have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets,
new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous
unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to
synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to
fertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated
grains and the like. One thing that most organically grown food
products seem to have in common is that they cost more than
conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are
misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and
provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods.
So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those
with limited incomes, distrust the regular food and buy only
expensive organic foods instead
Question 61: The word “Advocates” is closest in meaning to which

of the following ?
A. Proponents B. Inspectors
C. Consumers D. Merchants

A. advocates B. products
C. advantages D. organic foods
Question 63: The “ welcome development” mentioned is an
increase in___.
A. the amount of health food grown in North American
B. interest in food safety and nutritional quality of the typical North
American diet
C. the number of consumers in North American
D. the nutritional quality of the typical North American diet
Question 64: According to the first paragraph , which of the
following is true about the terms “ organic foods” ?
A. It has been used only in recent years. B. It is seldom used by
consumers.
C. It has no fixed meaning. D. It is accepted by most
nutritionists .
Question 65: The word “unsubstantiated” is closest in meaning to
___.
A. uncontested B. unbelievable
C. unverified D. unpopular
Question 66: The word “maintain” is closest in meaning to ___.
A. preserve B. retire
C. improve D. monitor
Question 67: Who does the author think should NOT buy organic
foods ?
A. Advocated of organic food B. Wealthy people
C. Concerned consumers D. Low income consumers

Question 68: The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers
with limited incomes buy organic foods
instead of conventionally grown foods because ___.

food crops
B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar
conventionally grown foods
C. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than
organic foods
D. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than
conventionally grown foods
Question 69: According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that
organic foods are better than conventionally grown
foods are often ___.
A. wealthy B. mistaken
C. thrifty D. careless
Question 70: What is the author’s attitude toward the claims made
by advocates of health foods?

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 questions from 56 to 65 .

Are organically grown foods the best choices? The advantages
claimed for such foods over conventionally grown
and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of
organic foods – a term whose meaning varies greatly – frequently
proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than
others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more nutritional
quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development
. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping
claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting
nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported
by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material
advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to
separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet
consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures
disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely
publicized and form the basis for folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new
vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous
unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to
synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to
fertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains
and the like. One thing that most organically grown food products
seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally
grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe
organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional
quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for
concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust
the regular food and buy only expensive organic foods instead
