The ocean bottom, a region nearly 2．5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth, is even today largely unexplored．Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible and 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 strangeenvironment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the outer space．

Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks for over a century, the first detailed global study of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1969, 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, taking samples of  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, it sailed 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 samples of rocks aroun d the world．Those samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to make out what it will probably look like millions of years in the fu ture, 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 （構(gòu)造學(xué)）and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes．

The samples of rocks drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also provided a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years．The information of past climatic change can be used to predict future climates．

68．What does the underlined word “inaccessible” in line 3 means?

       A．unrecognizable     B．unreachable        C．unusable         D．unreasonable

69．Why does the author mention “outer space” in the first paragraph?

       A．The Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to that in outer space．

       B．It is similar to the ocean floor in being strange to the humans．

       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

70．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．

71．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 millions of years ago．

       B．Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists．

son’s house, but as they got  37  , Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was  38  of the old man.

The use of the mobile Internet in Britain grew eight times as fast as the growth of the PC Internet, according to the latest study from research firm Nielsen Online. Of course, the actual number of Britons surfing the PC Internet is much higher. A recent report found that from April to September in 2008, the number of Britons using the mobile Internet increased by 25 percent, from 5.8 million to 7.3 million. However, the number of Britons surfing the PC Internet is 35.5 million, up only 3 percent. As expected, the report found that the mobile online audiences are younger than the PC-based users, with 25 percent of mobile Internet users aged 15-24 years old, compared to 16 percent for PC-based users. Also as expected, there are more people aged over 55 surfing the PC Internet (23 percent) than those on the mobile Internet (12 percent). This last figure —12 percent of those aged over 55 surfing the mobile Internet, however, surprised me because I had expected to be lower. Mobile audiences are interested in sites that can provide immediate information, or immediate access like BBC News, Google Search, Sky Sports, BBC Weather and G-mail. BBC News is visited by nearly one in four British mobile Internet users, or 1.7 million people. Three of the most popular sites, BBC Weather, Sky Sports and G-mail, actually have a greater reach on the mobile Internet than they do on the PC Internet. BBC Weather gets 21 percent of all mobile users with 17 percent on the PC-based Internet.

44. According to the first paragraph, the majority of Britons are_______.

    A. surfing the mobile Internet

    B. surfing the PC Internet

    C. taking part in the research

    D. studying on the mobile Internet

45. The underlined words "PC-based users" in the second paragraph refer to "people ________".

    A. using personal computers

    B. surfing the mobile Internet

    C. repairing personal computers

    D. making personal computers

46. According the report, which of the following statements is NOT true?

   A. Some people who are over 55 like to surf the PC Internet.

   B. BBC News is very popular with the mobile audience.

   C. BBC Weather gets more mobile users than PC-based users.

   D. Only young people like to use the mobile Internet.

47. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

   A. Most Popular Web Sites In Britain

   B. Fast Growth Of Mobile Internet In Britain

   C. Young People Prefer the Mobile Internet

   D. Old People Also Like the Mobile Internet
