Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and<br /> their mental concentration was severely limited. Because undersea pressure affects their speech organs,<br /> communication among divers has always been difficult or impossible. But today, most oceanographers avoid the<br /> use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human life and make direct observations by<br /> means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples taken from the water, or from photographs<br /> made by orbiting satellites. Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by<br /> deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photography from<br /> vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In<br /> addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit information back to landbased laboratories via satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are data about water temperature, currents,<br /> and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the<br /> ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the color of the ocean’s surface,<br /> enabling researchers to study the ocean currents from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help<br /> oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze data from submarines and satellites. By creating a model of the<br /> Trang 2/4 - Mã đề thi 215<br /> <br /> ocean’s movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the<br /> environment.<br /> Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or<br /> even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and more<br /> effectively. Some of humankind’s most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and food, may be<br /> solved with the help of observations made possible by his new technology.<br /> Câu 29: With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?<br /> A.

It<br /> is erroneously assumed that if new residents can be diverted from existing centers, the present urban situation at<br /> least will get no worse. It is further and equally erroneously assumed that since European New Towns have been<br /> financially and socially successful, we can expect the same sorts of results in the United States.<br /> Present planning, thinking, and legislation will not produce the kinds of New Town that have been successful<br /> abroad. It will multiply suburbs or encourage developments in areas where land is cheap and construction<br /> profitable rather than where New Towns are genuinely needed. Such ill-considered projects not only will fail to<br /> relieve pressures on existing cities but will, in fact, tend to weaken those cities further by drawing away highincome citizens and increasing the concentration of low-income groups that are unable to provide tax income.<br /> The remaining taxpayers, accordingly, will face increasing burdens, and industry and commerce will seek<br /> escape. Unfortunately, this mechanism is already at work in some metropolitan areas.<br /> The promoters of New Towns so far in the United States have been developers, builders, and financial<br /> institutions. The main interest of these promoters is economic gain. Furthermore, federal regulations designed to<br /> promote the New Town idea do not consider social needs as the European New Town plans do. In fact, our<br /> regulations specify virtually all the ingredients of the typical suburban community, with a bit of political rhetoric<br /> thrown in.<br /> A workable American New Town formula should be established as firmly here as the national formula was in<br /> Britain. All possible social and governmental innovations as well as financial factors should be thoroughly<br /> considered and accommodated in this policy. Its objectives should be clearly stated, and both incentives and<br /> penalties should be provided to ensure that the objectives are pursued. If such a policy is developed, then the<br /> New Town approach can play an important role in alleviating America’s urban problems.<br /> Câu 37: The passage is mainly about _______.<br /> A. Some necessary incentives and penalties for making New Town formula workable<br /> B. The origin of New Towns<br /> C. The purpose of building New Towns<br /> Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 215<br /> <br /> D.
