Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

        Until recently, hunting for treasure from shipwrecks was mostly fantasy; with recent technological advances, however, the search for sunken treasure has become more popular as a legitimate endeavor. This has caused a debate between those wanting to salvage the wrecks and those wanting to preserve them.

        Treasure hunters are spurred on by the thought of finding caches of gold coins or other valuable objects on a sunken ship. One team of salvagers, for instance, searched the wreck of the RMS Republic, which sank outside the Boston harbor in 1900. The search party, using side-scan sonar, a device that projects sound waves across the ocean bottom and produces a profile of the sea floor, located the wreck in just two and a half days. Before the use of this new technology, such searches could take months or years. The team of divers searched the wreck for two months, finding silver tea services, crystal dinnerware, and thousands of bottles of wine, but they did not find the five and a half tons of American Gold Eagle coins they were searching for.

        Preservationists focus on the historic value of a ship. They say that even if a shipwreck's treasure does not have a high monetary value, it can be an invaluable source of historic artifacts that are preserved in nearly mint condition. But once a salvage team has scoured a site, much of the archaeological value is lost. Maritime archaeologists who are preservationists worry that the success of salvagers will attract more treasure-hunting expeditions and thus threaten remaining undiscovered wrecks. Preservationists are lobbying their state lawmakers to legally restrict underwater searches and unregulated salvages. To counter their efforts, treasure hunters argue that without the lure of gold and million-dollar treasures, the wrecks and their historical artifacts would never be recovered at all.

B. Preservationists are fighting the use of technological advances such as side-scan sonar.

Đáp án C.

Key words: statements, best supported by the author

Phân tích đáp án:

A. The value of a shipwreck depends on the quantity of its artifacts: giá trị của một con tàu chìm phụ thuộc vào s lượng đồ tạo tác trên đó (Sai - vì giá trị của con tàu phụ thuộc vào cách nhìn nhận con tàu, ví dụ những người muốn khai thác sẽ thấy giá trị của con tàu nằm ở những của cải vàng bạc châu báu còn những người muốn bảo tồn sẽ thấy giá trị nằm ở tính lịch sử của nó)

B. Preservationists are fighting the use of artifacts technological advances such as side-scan sonar: những người muốn bảo tồn đang đấu tranh chống lại việc sử dụng công nghệ tiên tiến như thiết bị quét phát hiện tàu ngầm (Sai - Clue: “Preservationists are lobbying their state lawmakers to legally restrict underwater searches and unregulated salvages”: những người muốn bảo tồn đang vận động cơ quan lập pháp đế hạn chế việc tìm kiếm tàu chìm và những vụ khai thác trải quy định, họ đang đấu tranh chống lại việc tìm kiếm tàu chìm, không phải chống lại công nghệ tiên tiến)

C. Side-scan sonar has helped to legitimize salvaging: thiết bị quét phát hiện tàu ngầm giúp hợp pháp hóa việc cứu hộ.

D. The use of sound waves is crucial to locating shipwrecks: việc sử dụng sóng âm thanh đóng vai trò quyết định trong việc xác định vị trí tàu chìm (Sai - vì việc sử dụng sóng âm thanh để định vị tàu ngầm chỉ được nhắc đến với tư cách là một công cụ giúp cho việc định vị dễ dàng nhanh chóng hơn chứ không mang tính quyết định)

Vậy đáp án đúng là C (tham khảo Clue câu 39).
