　　Oceanography(海洋学)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 reluctant(不情愿的)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 under the surface．The first time that the question“What is at the bottom of the oceans?”had to be answered with any commercial consequence(商业影响)was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed．The engineer had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate(估计)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(调查)the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans．Later, some of his findings aroused(引起)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(永久的)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(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．

(1)

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

(2)

The underlined word “defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means ________．
[　　]
A．	doubted
B．	gave proof to
C．	challenged
D．	agreed to

(3)

This passage is mainly about ________．
[　　]
A．	the beginnings of oceanography
B．	the laying of the first undersea cable
C．	the investigation of ocean depths
D．	the early intercontinental communications

While most high school students spend most of their time worrying about who likes who, and different relationships between their classmates, I choose to focus on my school lessons and sports.

When I was young, my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships. But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. It's indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In my opinion, even though some high school relationship might continue after graduation, the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.

Firstly you have to think about such a question whether it is possible to hurt both of you, or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow. Except these, there really is not any other reason for dating. Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have, there are many more important things at this point in our lives.

The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students. Just staying common friends may be the best choice for us. I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers’ advice if necessary.

1．The author writes this passage probably for to read.

A．high school students B．school teachers

C．parents and teachers D．married couples

2．Between the opposite sexes, the relationship of being good friends might be than that of being boy/girl friends.

A．weaker B．safer C．slimmer D．stronger

3．How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?

A．Dating is a nice chance for students to be romanced

B．Studying is far more important than dating in school

C．In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage

D．Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family

4．The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph might refer to .

A．the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at school

B．advice given by both teachers and parents

C．the pressure from school lessons and sports

D．the relationship between students of opposite sexes
