　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
　　Oceanography has been defined as 'The application of all sciences to the study of the sea'.
　　注：
　　1.Oceanography 由 Ocean (海洋) 和 graphy (學(xué)科)組成，意為“海洋學(xué)”
　　2.application 表示“申請(qǐng)”用介詞for,表示“應(yīng)用”用介詞to
　　3.第一句給某個(gè)東西下定義，稱(chēng)為篇章定義，必為文章主題
　　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 reluctant (不愿意) to go to sea to further his work.
　　注：
　　1.第二段：在十九世紀(jì)之前，對(duì)海洋感興趣的科學(xué)家很少，可以推斷本文根據(jù)時(shí)間順序來(lái)描述海洋學(xué)發(fā)展的過(guò)程
　　2.further 跟在 to 后面是個(gè)動(dòng)詞，表示“推進(jìn)”
　　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 from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile (起伏形狀) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
　　注：
　　1. remote 遙遠(yuǎn)的
　　2. and with...多重復(fù)合句
　　3. intercontinental 洲際的 （Inter 在之間，continent 大洲）
　　4. let alone 更不用說(shuō)……
　　5. first time 由不感興趣轉(zhuǎn)折到感興趣 ，謂語(yǔ)是 was
　　6. 第二句that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句，when引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，整句意思為“當(dāng)有人基于商業(yè)目的建議在美國(guó)和歐洲之間鋪設(shè)電報(bào)電纜的時(shí)候，人們才提出問(wèn)題：海底是什么？”
　　7.route 路線(xiàn) router 路由器
　　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 (測(cè)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.
　　注：
　　1. it was ...that...強(qiáng)調(diào)句型
　　2. turn to sb. for sth. 向某人請(qǐng)教某事
　　3. 出現(xiàn)問(wèn)題中劃線(xiàn)詞：Maury,1840s
　　3. investigate 調(diào)查， 測(cè)量
　　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.
　　注：
　　1.not until 引導(dǎo)的句子要倒裝
　　2.living growth 生物
　　3.a fact 作同位語(yǔ)
　　4.contemporary 當(dāng)代的
　　5.defy 前后意思相反，可以推出24題答案為C
　　24. 'Defied' in the 5th paragraph probably means ________
　　A) 'doubted' B) 'gave proof to'
　　C) 'challenged' D) 'agreed to'
　　注：詞匯題。定位倒數(shù)第二段
　　Within a few years oceanography was 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.
　　注：oceanography 最末一段與第一段首句都出現(xiàn) oceanagraphy, 回環(huán)結(jié)構(gòu)。
　　21. The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly _________.
　　A) for oceanographic studies
　　B) for military purposes
　　C) for business considerations
