第二节：阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分;满分40分)

阅读下面短文，并做每篇后的题目。从四个选项中选出问题的最佳答案。

A

The journey two naval (海军) officers made some time ago to tile very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be explored (探测). The two men went down screen miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean h~ide a small steel ball called a “bathy-scaphe” to find out if there are any ocean currents (急流) or signs of life.

It was necessary to set ont early, so that the bathyscaphe would come to the surfacc in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations at dawn and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappcared under the surface of the water.

In time, the temperature dropped to freezing-point and the men trembled inside the hall. They kept in touch with the mother ship by tclephone describing how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3 000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. At 30 000 feet, the men were surprised by a sudden, loud noise-even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the bathyscaphe touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of “dust” made up of different kinds of small, dead sea animals. Here, powerful lights lit up the, dark water and the men were surprised to sec fish swimming just above them quitc untroubled by thc very large wate-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the weak but clear voices of the officers were heard on thc mother ship. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hour later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.

56. The officers started their journey at dawn___.  56. D

A. because they wanted to return to the mother ship in twenty four hours

B. because the sea then was calm

C. when the sun was not too strong

D. so that they could return before dark

57. What did the officers find out at the bottom of the sea?  57. B

A. They only found different dead sea animals.

B. They did find signs of life.

C. There was no signs of any life.

D. There was only dust.

58. The journey to the bottom of tim sea helped us to realize that______.58. A

A. much of the world hasn’t yet been explored

B. there are not any signs of life al the bottom of the sea

C. strong water-pressure has great effect on fish

D. powerful lights can not be turned on at the ocean floor without killing fish

59. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “They were cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience”? 59. D

A. They were cold and wet through, which was the worst thing of all.

B. They were even worse than cold and wet through at the bottom of the sea.

C. Considering what they had just experienced, being cold and wet through was not too bad.

D. For such an experience, being cold and wet through was not bad for them at all.

B

To tell you the truth, I’m not interested in owning a cellular (网络) phone. Except for use in an emergency (紧急情况), for ordinary cellular phone service is very expen-sire. How would I get help if I were in trouble or in danger? A goodd friend mid about a product she thought would settle my problem. It’s the SOS phone—a it celhdar phone serv-ice designed for emergency use.

With the touch of a hutton, the SOS phone will connect me to a roadside emergency service, a 91t service or a trained SOS operator, 24 hours a day. If I ever need help. I know it’s just a phone call away.

By pressing the “Tow” button, I’ll bc connected with my emergency roadside service provider. Or, if I don’t have one, the SOS operator can suggest one to me and get in tou-ch with them immediately.

The “911” button wdi connect me to 911 emergency service in my area-best of all, the call is completely free!

If I just want to call home to tell my husband and children something necessary, I can, by pressing the “Call” hutton, I’ll reach an operator. When I ask the operator to call home, I’ll be connected automatically (自动地). And because the Call Center has my 10 most-used phone numbers, I don’t even have to recite the numbers.

Unlike ordinary cellular phone plans, the SOS phone doesn’t have any minimum us age requirements (底价) or other promises that could change the price i expect to pay each month.

Why not try it yourself!
