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 be?tween. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings,but he was re?luctant to go to sea to further his work.
For most people the sea was remote,and with the exception of early intercontinental travel?ers 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 from Europe toAmericawas proposed. The engineer 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 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 Phys?ical 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 expedi?tion (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 fivevolume report,the last volume being published in 1895.
( ) 5. According to the passage,who asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies?
A. The American Navy.
B. Some early intercontinental travelers.
C. Those who earned a living from the sea.
D. The company which proposed to lay an undersea cable.
( ) 6. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was .
A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceans
B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals
C. to estimate the length of cable that was needed
D. to measure the depths of the two oceans
( ) 7. Which of these is closest in meaning to the underlined word "defied" in the 5th para?graph?
A. Doubted. B. Gave proof to. C. Challenged. D. Agreed to.
( ) 8. The main meaning of this passage is
A. the beginnings of oceanographic studies
B. how to lay the first undersea cable in the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
C. the way to investigate the depths of the oceans
D. before the nineteenth century very few scientists had an interest in the sea

"Soon,you're going to have to move out!" cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest to?mato plant known to mankind,or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant,bought for $ 1. 25 in the spring,has already taken over much of my rose bed,covering much of other plants,and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care,and if it weren't for the pleasure they give,it wouldn't be worth the work. As it is,I have a garden full of sweetsmelling roses for most of the year,bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring,leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available (可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First,I have to find the red ones among the leaves,which means I almost have to stand on my head,and once found I have to reach down and under,pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two fullblown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June,but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision：To tear up a wonderful and productive toma?to plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind,I'll think about that tomorrow.
( ) 5. Why did the writer plant the tomato?
A. It was very cheap.
B. The soil was just suitable for it.
C. There was the space available in the garden.
D. The writer made a mistake.
( ) 6. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. The writer's treatment of roses quite satisfied tomatoes.
B. Tomatoes don't need any watering and regular fertilizing.
C. Roses turned into tall bushes and covered the tender tomatoes.
D. The writer was quite dissatisfied at seeing the growth of the tomatoes.
( ) 7. By saying "the prize so dearly won" in Paragraph 5,the writer wants to .
A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. express her liking for the roses
D. express her care for the tomatoes
( ) 8. What decision did the writer make about the difficult choice?
A. To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant.
B. To say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses.
C. The writer has decided to have both finally.
D. The writer hasn't made any decision yet.
