Line
1 When man first learned how making a fire, he began to use fuel for the first time. The first
2 fuel he used was probably wood. As time passed, man eventually discovered where
3 substances such as coal and oil would burn. With the coming of the industrial revolution,
4 it was soon realized that production would double if coal was used instead of wood.
5 Nowadays, much of the huge factories and electricity generate stations would be
impossible to function if there was no coal. In the last twenty or thirty years, however, the
6
use of coal had declined. As a result, there were changes in the coal industry. It is believed
7
that more people would use coal if oil and gas are not so readily available. There is more
8 than enough coal in the world for man’s needs for the next two hundred years if our use of
9 coal does not raised. Unfortunately, however, about half of the world’s coal may be used .
10 Mining much of it would be very expensive even if it was possible to use new equipment.

Question III. Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. Write the answers
on your answer sheet. (10pts)
Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in
satellite technology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and
diving equipment for scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world. Without a vehicle,
divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited. Because undersea
pressure affects their speech organs, communication among divers has always been difficult or
impossible. But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to
reduce the risk to human life and make direct observations by means of instruments that are lowered
into the ocean, from samples take from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites.
Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving
submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photography from vantage
points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In
addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit
information back to land-based laboratories via satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are
data about water temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite photographs can show the distribution of
sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created from satellite pictures can
represent the temperature and the color of the ocean's surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean
currents from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect,
organize, and analyze data from submarines and satellites. By creating a model of the ocean's
movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on
the environment.
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on
research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more
quickly and more effectively. Some of humankind's most serious problems,
especially those concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help of observations made
possible by this new technology.

A. communication among drivers B. Technological advances in oceanography

A. are too small for a man to fit inside B. are very slow to respond
