Before the nieenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was unwilling to go to sea to further his work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question What is at the bottom of the oceans? had to be answered with any mercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable(電纜 )from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形狀 )of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be made. It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(測深 )were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea. The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a fivevolume report, the last volume being published in 1895. 32. The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly________. A. for oceanographic studies B .for military purposes C .for business considerations D. for investigating the depths of the oceans aim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was_________. A. to make some sound experiments in the oceans B .to collect samples of sea plants and animals C .to estimate the length of cable that was to be made D .to measure the depths of the two oceans 34. The underlined word defied in the 4Th paragraph probably means_ A. doubted B .challenged C .gave proof to D .agreed to 35 .The theme of this passage is about__ A .the beginnings of oceanography laying of the first undersea cable C .the investigation of ocean depths D .the early intercontinental munications 【答案】 ADBCB 【解析】 1．推理判斷題。根據文章第三段中的“ The first time that the question ‘ What is at the bottom of the oceans?’ had to be answered with any mercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed.”可知，當有人基于商業目的建議在美國和歐洲之間鋪設電報電纜的時候，人們才提出問題：海底是什么？也就是說，鋪設電報電纜的這個建議具有商業性，故選 A。 2． 細節理解題。根據第四段的“ It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in l853, for information on this matter.”可知，找到向美國海軍軍官莫里求助以獲取相關海洋信息的是大西洋電報公司，故選 D。 3．細節理解題。根據文章第四段的“ In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (測深 ) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.”可知，莫里負責的航海的目的是測量北大西洋和太平洋的深度，故選 B。 4．猜測詞義題。聯系上下文可知，當人們把電纜從海底取出來修理時，發現電纜上覆蓋有活著的植物，而當時的科學觀念認為，在海洋更深處沒有生命存在，可知這個事實與當時的科學觀念正好相反，故選 C，這個發現挑戰了當時的科學觀念。 5．主旨大意題。文章在開 頭提出了“海洋學”的定義，接下來按照時間順序來描述海洋學發展的過程，可知本文的中心為 oceanography，故選 B。 【備注】本文是一篇記敘文，定義并描述了海洋學的發展過程。 第二節 (共 5 小題 。每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分 ) 根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多 余選項。 Investing in yourself Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do. 36 Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things. You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 37 .There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill. So what are some specific things you can do? 38 .Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I39。m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books. You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 39 Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation. Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn39。t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when
