答案与解析
本文是一篇记叙文,定义并描述了海洋学的发展过程。
1.C 推理判断题。
根据文章第三段中的“Thefirsttimethatthequestion‘Whatisatthebottomoftheoceans?
’hadtobeansweredwithanycommercialconsequencewaswhenthelayingofatelegraphcablefromEuropetoAmericawasproposed.”可知,当有人基于商业目的建议在美国和欧洲之间铺设电报电缆的时候,人们才提出问题:
海底是什么?
也就是说,铺设电报电缆的这个建议具有商业性,故选C。
2.D 细节理解题。
根据文章第四段的“Inthe1840s,Mauryhadbeenresponsibleforencouragingvoyagesduringwhichsoundings(测深)weretakentoinvestigatethedepthsoftheNorthAtlanticandPacificOceans.”可知,莫里负责的航海的目的是测量北大西洋和太平洋的深度,故选D。
3.B 猜测词义题。
联系上下文可知,当人们把电缆从海底取出来修理时,发现电缆上覆盖有活着的植物,而当时的科学观念认为,在海洋更深处没有生命存在,可知这个事实与当时的科学观念正好相反,故选B,这个发现挑战了当时的科学观念。
4.A 主旨大意题。
文章在开头提出了“海洋学”的定义,接下来按照时间顺序来描述海洋学发展的过程,可知本文的中心为oceanography,故选A。
Ⅱ.完形填空
