27、unshine Superman“ by one newspaper writing about his design. Its important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine we have and how strong it is.

41、sts 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(不愿意的) to go to sea to farther his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others w
42、ho 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 commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable
43、from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状) 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 the 1840s, Maury h
44、ad 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 endings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the conn
45、ection 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 wa
46、s under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition(考察), 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 1895.52 The passage implie

48、C） those who earned a living from the Sea（D）the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable54 The 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 m
49、ade（D）to measure the depths of two oceans55 “Defied“ in the fifth paragraph probably means“ _ “.（A）doubled（B） gave proof to（C） challenged（D）agreed to56 This passage is mainly about _.（A）the beginning of oceanography（B） the laying of the first undersea cable（C） the investigation of ocean depths（D）the earl
