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 33 to 38.

Sylvia Earle, a marine botanist and one of the foremost deep-sea explorers, has spent over 6,000 hours, more than seven months, underwater. From her earliest years, Earle had an affinity for marine life, and she took her first plunge into the open sea as a teenager. In the years since then she has taken part in a number of landmark underwater projects, from exploratory expeditions around the world to her celebrated “Jim dive” in 1978, which was the deepest solo dive ever made without cable connecting the diver to a support vessel at the surface of the sea.

Clothed in a Jim suit, a futuristic suit of plastic and metal armor, which was secured to a manned submarine, Sylvia Earle plunged vertically into the Pacific Ocean, at times at the speed of 100 feet per minute. On reaching the ocean floor, she was released from the submarine and from that point her only connection to the sub was an 18-foot tether. For the next 2½ hours, Earle roamed the seabed taking notes, collecting 15 specimens, and planting a U.S. flag. Consumed by a desire to descend deeper still, in 1981 she became involved in the design and manufacture of 20 deep-sea submersibles, one of which took her to a depth of 3,000 feet. This did not end Sylvia Earle’s accomplishments.

The main purpose of this passage is _______. 

A. to explore the botany of ocean floor 

B. to present a short biography of Sylvia Earle 

C. to provide an introduction to oceanography 

D. to show the historical importance of the Jim dive

Dịch bài đọc:

Sylvia Earle, một nhà thực vật học biển và là một trong những nhà thám hiểm biển sâu hàng đầu, đã dành hơn 6.000 giờ, hơn bảy tháng, dưới nước. Ngay từ những năm đầu đời, Earle đã yêu thích sinh vật biển và cô ấy đã lần đầu tiên lặn xuống biển khi còn là một thiếu niên. Trong những năm sau đó, cô ấy đã tham gia một số dự án dưới nước mang tính bước ngoặt, từ những chuyến thám hiểm trên khắp thế giới đến cú lặn Jim nổi tiếng của mình vào năm 1978, là chuyến lặn sâu nhất từng được thực hiện mà không cần cáp kết nối thợ lặn với tàu hỗ trợ ở mặt biển.

Mặc một bộ đồ Jim, một bộ áo giáp bằng nhựa và kim loại thuộc về tương lai, được bảo vệ cho một chiếc tàu ngầm có người lái, Sylvia Earle lao thẳng xuống Thái Bình Dương, với tốc độ 100 feet mỗi phút. Khi chạm đáy đại dương, cô được thả ra khỏi tàu ngầm và từ đó, mối liên hệ duy nhất của cô với tàu ngầm là một dây buộc dài 18 feet. Trong 2 tiếng rưỡi tiếp theo, Earle đi lang thang dưới đáy biển để ghi chú, thu thập 15 mẫu vật và cắm cờ Hoa Kỳ. Do mong muốn xuống sâu hơn nữa, năm 1981, cô tham gia thiết kế và sản xuất 20 chiếc tàu lặn dưới biển sâu, một trong số đó đã đưa cô xuống độ sâu 3.000 feet. Điều này chưa chấm dứt thành tích của Sylvia Earle.

Sylvia Earle is one of the world's most famous marine scientists and a National Geographic Explorer-inResidence. She loves to go diving in the ocean. She has spent a lot of her life both in and under the waves. Earle has led more than a hundred expeditions and she set a record for solo diving in 1,000-metre deep water. In total, she has spent more than 7,000 hours underwater.

Earle describes the first time she went to the ocean: ‘I was three years old and I got knocked over by a wave. The ocean certainly got my attention! It wasn’t frightening, it was thrilling. And since then I have been fascinated by life in the ocean.’

In the past, Earle was the chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the USA. Now one of her jobs is with Google Earth’s Ocean. Earle’s special focus is on developing a global network of areas on the land and in the ocean. This network will protect and support the living systems that are important to the planet. She explains why this is important: ‘When I first went to the Gulf of Mexico in the 1950s, the sea looked like a blue infinity. It seemed to be too large and too wild to be damaged by the action of people. Then, in a few decades, not thousands of years, the blue wilderness of my childhood disappeared. By the end of the 20th century, about 90 percent of the sharks, tuna, turtles, whales and many other large creatures had disappeared from the Gulf. They had been there for millions of years.’

Some people don’t understand why the ocean is so important to life on Earth. Earle explains that ‘the ocean is the foundation of our life support system. The ocean is alive. The living things in the ocean generate oxygen and take up carbon. If we dont have the ocean, we don’t have a planet that works.’

The Gulf of Mexico has had many problems, especially after the Deepwater Horizon Oil disaster of 2010, but Earle says, ‘In 2003 I found positive signs in clear, deep water far from the mouth of the Mississippi River. It was full of life. Large areas of the Gulf are not damaged. Protecting the most important places will be good for the future of the Gulf and for all of us’

Which of the statements about Sylvia Earle is NOT true?

A. She’s an experienced expedition leader

B. She holds a record for the longest time under water

C. She does one of her favorite activities in her work

D. The work that she is currently doing is based all over the world.

Some people don’t understand why the ocean is so important to life on Earth. Earle explains that ‘the ocean is the foundation of our life support system. The ocean is alive. The living things in the ocean generate oxygen and take up carbon. If we dont have the ocean, we don’t have a planet that works.’

The Gulf of Mexico has had many problems, especially after the Deepwater Horizon Oil disaster of 2010, but Earle says, ‘In 2003 I found positive signs in clear, deep water far from the mouth of the Mississippi River. It was full of life. Large areas of the Gulf are not damaged. Protecting the most important places will be good for the future of the Gulf and for all of us’
