X. Read the passage and choose the best answer. (10 points)
Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout
history the sea has served the need of man. The sea has provided man with food
and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two
thirds of the world’s population live within 80 km of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help
mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea,
however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs. The list of riches of
the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas
explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. A lot of valuable
minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.
The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly
by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe
that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam
in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of
energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The
development of strong, new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that
by the year 2050s the problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the food,
minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.
