Speech is one of the most important (31)
of communicating .It consists of far

more than just making noises . To talk and also be understood to by other people,
we have to speak a language ,that is, we have to use combinations of sound that
everyone agrees to stand for a particular object or idea. Communication would be
impossible if everyone made up their own language. Learning a language properly
is very important. The basic ( 32)
of English is not very large, and not only
about 2,000 words are needed to speak it quite (33)

the more precise you can be about their exact meaning. Words are the

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 36 to 42.
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
