<b>answer to each of the </b>
<b>following questions. </b>

The hard, rigid
plates that form the
outermost portion of the
Earth are about 100

kilometers
thick. These

plates include

both the

Earth’s crust
and the upper
mantle. The
rocks of the
crust are
composed
mostly of
minerals with
light

elements, like
aluminum
and sodium,

while the
mantle

contains
some heavier
elements, like

iron and

magnesium.
Together, the
crust and

upper mantle
that form the
surface plates
are called the
lithosphere.
This rigid
layer floats

on the denser material of
the lower mantle the
way a wooden raft flats
on a pond. The plates
are supported by a weak,
plastic layer of the lower
mantle called the
asthenosphere. Also like
a raft on a pond, the
lithospheric plates are
carried along by slow
currents in this more
fluid layer beneath them.

With an

<span class='text_page_counter'>(4)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=4>

have put together a new
history for the Earth’s
surface. About 200
million years ago, the
plates at the Earth’s
surface formed a

“suppercontinent” called
Pangaea. When this
supercontinent started to
tear apart because of
plate movement,
Pangaea first broke into
two large continental
masses with a newly
formed sea that grew
between the land areas
the depression filled
with water. The southern
one, which included the
modern continents of
South America, Africa,
Australia, and Antarctic,
is called Gondwanaland.
The northern one, with
North America, Europe,
and Asia, is called
Laurasi. North America
tore away from Europe
about 180 million years

ago, forming
the northern
Atlantic

Ocean.
Some

of the

lithospheric
plates carry
ocean floor
and others
carry land
masses or a
combination
of the two
types. The
movement of
the
lithospheric
plates is
responsible
for
earthquakes,
volcanoes,
and the
Earth’s
largest
mountain
ranges.
Current
understating
of the
interaction
between

different
plates

explains why
these occur
where they

do. For

example, the
edge of the
Pacific Ocean
has been
called the
“Ring of
Fire” because

so many

volcanic
eruptions and
earthquakes
happen there.
Before the
1960’s,

geologists
could not
explain why
active

volcanoes

and strong earthquakes
were concentrate in that
region. The theory of
plate tectonics gave
them an answer.

<b>Questions 56 – 65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your </b>
<b>answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. </b>

Television, like language, can be a cultural challenge for better or worse, and this is what it is in
many of its activities, whether voluntarily or, on occasion, involuntarily. Although it may
sometimes be soothing, television is often provocative in the sense that it gives information and
arouses interest. That being said, the new means of broadcasting and communicating throughout
the world increases the complexity of television even further.

An important question is what television is there to do and to say. In actual fact, however, the
issue does not seem to have been put in this quay by all governments and their officials, nor by
private television companies.

Since the primary aim is to get an audience (and who would want to make television programs
nobody looked at?), programs are becoming more and more standardized. The cultural challenge
represented by television must not turn into a challenge to culture. At all events, television
carries messages which influence, and will increasingly influence, trends in societies one way or

another. Either television will contribute to enriching our culture or to enabling some of these
cultures to dominate others.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=6>

importance of their function over and above audience surveys and ratings and that they will call
primarily on the talents of cultural people and give them priority over the salesman.
