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 1 to 10.
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

2. 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

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 60 to 69 .
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

5. 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.

A. attracts courageous explorers B. is not a popular area for scientific research

D. it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment

A. It is a type of submarine . B. It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968.
C. It has gone on over 100 voyages . D. It is an ongoing project .

C. Geologists observed forms of marine life never before seen
