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 followingquestions 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 Earths surface, deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans , in some ways as
forbidding and remote as the void of outer space.

Trang 3/5 - M thi 485

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
Foundations Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil gas industry, the
Dads drill ship , the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the oceans 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 Challengers 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 Challengers 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
worlds 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

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 66 to 75.
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.

Trang 4/5 - M thi 485

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
