Before

22、 the nineteenth 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 reluctant to go to sea to further his work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontin

23、ental 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 question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?“ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying

24、 of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured. It was to Maury of the U. S. Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In t

25、he 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings 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 unti

26、l 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 y

27、ears 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 five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.（分数：10

28、00）(1).The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on_.（分数：2.00）A.an academic aspectB.a military aspectC.a business aspectD.an international aspect(2).The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was_.（分数：2.00）A.to make some sounding

29、 experiments in the oceansB.to collect samples of sea plants and animalsC.to estimate the length of cable that was neededD.to measure the depths of the two oceans(3).“Defied“ in the 4th paragraph probably means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.doubtedB.gave proof toC.contradictedD.agreed to(4).This passage is mainly

30、about_.（分数：2.00）A.the beginnings of oceanographyB.the laying of the first undersea cableC.the investigation of ocean depthsD.the early intercontinental communications(5).What does the sentence “Within a few years oceanography was under way“ mean?（分数：2.00）A.Several years later the study of oceanograp

31、hy disappeared.B.More and more studies and expeditions on oceanography began to appear.C.The expedition led by Thomson began in 1872.D.The five-volume report was published in 1895.It was two years ago today that the hunting ban came into force, supposedly ending centuries of tradition. However, the

32、law has been an unmitigated failurenot that either side is shouting about it. It was a nightmare vision that struck fear and loathing into the hearts of millions. When the hunting ban became law, it was said, 16,000 people would lose their jobs, thousands of hounds would be put down, rotting carcass

33、es would litter the countryside, hedgerows would disappear, riders would face on-the-spot fines, law-abiding people from doctors to barristers would be dragged from their horses and carted off to prison, while dog owners would be prosecuted if their mutt caught a rabbit. These were just some of the

34、claims as desperate countryside campaigners battled to save their sport in the leadup to the hunting ban, which Labour rammed into law using the Parliament Act on November 18, 2004. For many, the fears were real. Others exaggerated as they fought an increasingly aggressive anti-hunting lobby which h

35、ad rejected acres of independent evidence affirming that hunting is the most humane way of killing foxes. In the battle to “fight prejudice, fight the ban“ , every emotive argument was deployed. For its part, the anti-hunting brigade extravagantly claimed that the ban would put an end to the rich pa

36、rading in red jackets. A senior Labour MP, Peter Bradley, admitted in this newspaper that it was, as many suspected, about “class war“. He lost his seat shortly afterwards. But people in red coats did not disappear. In fact, none of the forecasts came true. What did happen was something nobody had p

37、redicted: the spectacular revival and growth of hunting with hounds. In short, the hunting ban has been a failure. Today, on the second anniversary of the bans coming into force on February 18, 2005, new figures show that participation in the sport has never been higher. It is so cheerful that two n

38、ew packs have been formed, something that has not happened for centuries. They include the seductively named Private Pack, set up by the financier Roddy Fleming in Gloucestershire. It operates on an invitation-only basis, a sort of hunting private members club. This can only mean one thing: like it

39、or not, hunting is cool. Young people are taking it up, enticed by the element of rebellion and the mystique of what actually happens as hunts attempt to keep within the law.（分数：10.00）(1).The hunting ban has been a complete failure because_.（分数：2.00）A.the hunting has never been stopped but has inste

40、ad flourishedB.the government has been short of hands to enforce the lawC.the law makers failed to see hunting as a long-time traditionD.the ban aimed to protect the interests of the upper-class only(2).Those who break the hunting ban would_.（分数：2.00）A.lose their jobsB.bring shame to their fellow pe

41、opleC.have to kill their horses and dogsD.face either fines or imprisonment(3).The anti-hunting lobby held that_.（分数：2.00）A.fox-hunting was an expression of prejudiceB.the countryside campaigners were reasonableC.the theory of humane killing did not hold waterD.the hunters exaggerated the dreadful s

42、cene of hunting(4).By saying “people in red coats did not disappear,“ the author implied that_.（分数：2.00）A.the upper class won the “war“B.Bradley deserved his fateC.the hunting ban did not workD.the hunting ban was untimely(5).As a result of the ban,_.（分数：2.00）A.hunting activities have become more se

43、cretiveB.people have become more curious about huntingC.citizens have become more confused by the lawD.the country tradition has been radically shakenSome of the most popular attractions across America are the many free concerts offered to the public throughout the year. These involve not only amate

44、ur performers, but professional artists as well. The public parks of many cities across the country usually have bandstands and large lawns. As a service to citizens, they rent out space to performers free of charge. Amateur groups, with nothing more than a desire to perform, offer their talents fre

45、ely to the public. Semi-professional artists are pleased to get the chance to perform before the public to perfect their craft and nurture the hope of being discovered before beginning a professional career. Famous professionals also give free concerts to make contact with their admiring fans. Often

46、 such concerts are sponsored by a large corporate organization and offered to the public free of charge as a cultural service and support for the arts. The free concerts feature all kinds of music from rock and roll, jazz, country-western to the classics. In addition, free performances may include t

47、he plays of Shakespeare or experimental theater of modern dramatists. In New Yorks Central Park there has long been a summer Shakespeare festival which draws huge crowds to the free performances. Of these concerts the ones held on a summer evening in the park are the most popular. They take on a fes

48、tive air. Friends and groups gather together after work and spread out a blanket on the lawn facing the performers stage. The early comers get the best locations and enjoy a picnic supper while it is still daylight. The free seating is on a first come basis. Therefore, by the time the concert begins, as many as fiv
