【单选题】The ocean bottom, a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of theEarth, is a vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharteD、Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3 600 meters deep. Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at theEarth’s surface, the deep ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space.
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation’sDeep SeaDrilling ProjectDSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, theDSDP’s drill ship, the GlomarChallenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rocks from the ocean floor.
The GlomarChallenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983,During this time, the vessel logged 600 000 kilometers and took almost 20 000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the worlD、The GlomarChallenger’s core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will probably lo0k like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the GlomarChallenger’s voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape theEarth.
The cores of sediment drilled by the GlomarChallenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the world’s past climates.Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change information that may be used to predict future climates.
Which of the following is: true of the GlomarChallengerA．It is a type of submarine.
B．It is an ongoing project.
C．It has gone on over 100 voyages.
D．It made its firstDSDP voyage in 1968.

网考网试题解析：
[解析] 第二段提到，虽然研究者在过去的100多年里已经获得了一些深海岩石和沉淀物，但是第一次对海底进行详细的研究到了1968年才真正开始。使用首先为沿海油气公司开发的技术，DSDP的钻探船the Glornar Challenger浮在海面上，深深地钻入海底，从海底取出了沉淀物和岩石采样。第三段第一句也提到，截止到1983年，Glomar Challenger在15年的研究项目中完成了96次航行。1983年减去15年也恰好是 1968年。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
