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.
Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something,
not just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he
protects them in controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him
very much. Other people think that he is a criminal.
On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea
Shepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic
Ocean near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey
was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the
Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in
Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful.
The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and crew of the
Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as
many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale
meat in countries where it is eaten.
Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However,
the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and
other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any
illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must
be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were
controversial.
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to
protect the Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and
like Watson, they have become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment,
they will act to protect it.
(Adapted from “Eco fighters” by Eric Schwartz, OMNI)
Question 36: According to the reading, an environmental activist is someone who_______.
6
 A. runs into whaling ship. B. does something to protect the Earth.

Question 38: The main idea of paragraph one is that __________.
A. Paul Watson is a hero to some people.
B. activists are people who do something.
C. Paul Watson is a controversial environmental activist.
D. Paul Watson does not believe in talking.
Question 39: The Sea Shepherd was hunting ______.
A. the Atlantic Ocean B. whales C. the Sierra D. Portugal
Question 40: The author implies that Paul Watson lives in ______.
A. Portugal B. a ship on the Atlantic
C. the Sierra D. Canada
Question 41: In paragraph 3, the phrase “and froze it” refers to ______.

A. the Sierra sold whale meat in some countries.
B. the people on the Sierra did not obey international laws.
C. the people on the Sierra killed as many whales as they could.
D. whaling is illegal according to international law.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to choose
the best answer for each of the question from 43- 50
The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of 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 3,600
meters deep. Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater
than at the Earth’s surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some
ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space.

7
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 and gas industry, the DSDP’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 probably 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 43: The author refers to the ocean bottom as a “frontier” because it _______
A. is not a popular area for scientific research
B. contains a wide variety of life forms
C. attracts courageous explorers
D. is an unknown territory
Question 44: The word “inaccessible” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. unrecognizable B. unreachable C. unusable D. unsafe
Question 45: The author mentions “outer space” because _______.
A. the Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to conditions in outer space.

8
 B. it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment.
C. rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor.
D. techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean
exploration.
Question 46: Which of the following is true of the Glomar Challenger?
A. It is a type of submarine. B. It is an ongoing project.
C. It has gone on over 100 voyages. D. It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968.
Question 47: The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant because it was ______.
A. an attempt to find new sources of oil and gas
B. the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom
C. composed of geologists from all over the world
D. funded entirely by the gas and oil industry
Question 48: The word “they” refers _______.
A. years B. climates C. sediments D. cores
Question 49: 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.
C. Information was revealed about the Earth’s past climatic changes.
D. Geologists observed forms of marine life never before seen.
Question 50: How long did the Glomar Challenger conduct its research?
A. 3 years B. 5 years C. 15 years D. 16 years
