Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea". Before 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 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 commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable(电缆)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 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(测深)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 five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly .A.for oceanographic studiesB.for military purposesC.for business considerationsD.for investigating the depths of the oceansThe aim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was .A.to make some sound experiments in the oceansB.to collect samples of sea plants and animalsC.to estimate the length of cable that was to be madeD.to measure the depths of the two oceansThe underlined word "defied" in the 4Th paragraph probably means A.doubtedB.challengedC.gave proof toD.agreed toThe theme of this passage is about .A.the beginnings of oceanographyB.the laying of the first undersea cableC.the investigation of ocean depthsD.the early intercontinental communications

11Making a Good ImpressionFirst impression is always the most important thing when you meet a stranger.It takes just a quick glance, maybe 3 seconds, for someone to understand you when you meet for the first time.

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa.Just rocks and sand and baking sun.Knowing our journey was ending，Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done.He used a camera.I used words.I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth，a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique. Southern Africa was full of stories.And visions.We were almost drunk on sensations.The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls，the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.And then the other things：dogs in the streets，whole families in Soweto living in one room，a kilometre from clean water. As we drove towards the setting sun，a quietness fell over us.The road was empty—we hadn't seen another car for hours.And as I drove，something caught my eye，something moving next to me.I glanced in the mirror of the car；I glanced sideways to the right，and that was when I saw them.Next to us，by the side of the road，thirty，forty wild horses were racing the car，a cloud of dust rising behind them—brown，muscular horses almost close enough to touch them，to smell their hot breath.I didn't know how long they had been there next to us. I shouted to Dan："Look!"，but he was in a deep sleep，his camera lying useless by his feet.They raced the car for a few seconds，then disappeared far behind us，a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened. "Wild horses？" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up？" "I tried.But they were gone after a few seconds." "Are you sure you didn't dream it？" "You were the one who was sleeping!" "Typical，" he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."
