阅读理解 共 15 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 30 分 阅读下列短文 从每题所给的四个选项 A B C D 中选出最佳选项 A The journey two naval officers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be explored The two men went down 7 miles to the bottoms of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball called a bathyscaphe to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life Above the ball there was a special tank full of petrol which was slowly emptied into the water to make the bathyscaphe heavy enough to complete its journey It was necessary to set out early so that the bathyscaphe would come to the surface 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 disappeared under the surface of the water The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of water In time the temperature dropped to freezing point and the men shivered inside the ball They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone 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 All went well until some four hours later at 30 000 feet the men were startled by a loud cracking noise even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death Luckily though it was only one of the outer windows that badly broken Soon afterwards the bathyscaphe touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of dust made up of small dead sea creatures Here powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the enormous pressure But they didn t dare to leave the lights on for long as the heat 用心 爱心 专心 from the lights made the water boil Quite unexpectedly the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the officers were heard on the mother ship 7
