They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
Jacqucs has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. The huge 167ft ship, named "Sea Orbiter", consists of two areas—one above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind, he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD player. And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million—per ship! However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon!
小题1:Why can’t ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time?
A.Because they can’t stand the high water pressure. |
B.Because it’s too cold in deep ocean. |
C.Because time for experiments is too limited. |
D.Because it’s dangerous to observe the sea life. |
A.fly away | B.get around | C.travel through | D.move into |
A.Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling |
B.living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly |
C.it’s much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food |
D.researchers on Jacque’s ship will live more comfortably than astronauts |
A.Sea Orbiter—the ship of the future |
B.A new way to explore the deep oceans |
C.A great architect—Jacques Rougerie |
D.Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter |
答案
小题1:A
小题2:B
小题3:D
小题4:A
解析
小题1:A 细节题。根据第1段thanks to the high water pressure,可知水下的压力太大了,让人们没有办法长时间待在水下。
小题2:B词义辨析。根据文章可知这艘船让人们环游世界变得可能,故B正确。
小题3:D 细节题。根据第四段具体的内容可知在船上的生活要比宇航员在天上的生活更舒适。
小题4:A 主旨大意题。文章讲述的正是一艘未来探索海洋世界的Sea Orbiter的相关内容介绍。

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”
小题1:The best title for the passage would be _________.
A.Touched by the Moon |
B.The Pleasures of Modern Life |
C.A Bottomless well of Silence |
D.Break away from Modern life |
A.there was too much pollution. |
B.he failed to see the fullest moon. |
C.he didn’t adapt to modern inventions |
D.there were too many accidents on the road. |
A.No modern equipment. | B.Complete silence. |
C.The nice moon. | D.The high mountain. |
A.show that the writer likes city life very much. |
B.tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life. |
C.explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature. |
D.show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them. |
A.express the feeling of returning to nature. |
B.show the love for the moonlight. |
C.advise modern people to learn to live. |
D.want to communicate longing for modern life. |
However, there can be 40 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want. To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our 41 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 42 at arm’s length? Do we want to 43 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 44 enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to 45 that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of 46 experience 47 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it 48 be undertaken(进行)slowly and carried on only if there are 49 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 50 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 51 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 52 actions in return. In 53 words, you must give as much as you take.
Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 54 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 55 .

Young Escoffier attended the local school until age 12, upon which time his father thought it necessary that the boy learn a trade. In school he had shown a talent for drawing, yet he was told to regard this art only as a hobby, and to find his career in a more practical profession. Thus his father took him to Nice in 1859, where he would work as an apprentice(学徒)in his uncle’s restaurant, the respectable Le Restaurant Francais.
At Le Restaurant Francais, Escoffier was not treated as the close relative of the boss. Rather, he experienced a classically demanding apprenticeship. For this strictness of training he would later, in his memoirs(回忆录), express gratefulness. During this time Escoffier also attended night school, and had to deal with his studies as well as the demands of a promising career.
When Escoffier was 19 and had taken on yet more responsibilities in his uncle’s restaurant, a customer recognized his skills and offered him work in Paris. This was the owner of Le Petit Moulin Rouge, one of the finest restaurants in Paris, where Escoffier was to become a sous-chef, ranking below the head chef. After three years in this position, he rose to the level of head chef, wearing the respected chef’s hat.
小题1:It was his __________ who first influenced Escoffier to be interested in cooking.
A.father | B.mother | C.uncle | D.grandmother |
A.a chef | B.a businessman | C.an artist | D.a blacksmith |
A.was badly treated by his uncle |
B.showed great interest in writing |
C.disliked working as an apprentice |
D.was thankful for the strict training |
A.Hard-working. | B.Honest. | C.Warm-hearted. | D.Modest. |
A.How to become a chef in France. |
B.The influence of Auguste Escoffier. |
C.What an apprentice is required to do. |
D.The early life of a famous French chef. |
At around the same time, the man 41 his first car in Detroit, America is called Henry Ford. Detroit is now still famous all over the world as the centre of American car-making.
Cars were very few and only 42 people could buy them. 43 , in England cars were thought to be 44 at that time, so for a few years someone 45 walk in front of every car 46 a red flag! This was to make sure that the car did not go too fast and hurt 47 .
In the 1910s, Henry Ford had 48 a better kind of car called the Model T Ford and he built a 49 where the cars could be made 50 . In this way the car could be made 51 and the cost was less and more and more people could 52 them. But there was still a problem 53 all the cars were black. That was because it was 54 to produce cars that were all the same color. Now, of course, you can buy cars in all 55 .
