Not

The

be.

All

it

is

that

we

to

To

[山东多校2025联考·改编]

When

you

look

at

the

public

maps

of

the

seafloor,

you

can

get

the

impression

that

the

job

of

mapping

the

planet

is

over.

However,

far

from

it.

Even

these

seemingly

precise

representations,

often

based

on

the

satellite

estimates

of

ocean

depths,

are

not

particularly

revealing.

They’re

rather

like

throwing

a

wet

blanket

over

a

table

set

for

a

fancy

dinner

party.

You

might

see

the

outlines

of

a

big

table

surrounded

by

a

dozen

chairs,

perhaps

some

drinking

glasses

if

the

blanket’s

really

wet.

But

that’s

about

it.

You

wouldn’t

see

the

plates,

let

alone

what’s

for

dinner.

Satellite

data,

in

other

words,

only

give

a

rough

idea

of

what

lies

beneath

the

sea.

That’s

why

exploration

and

mapping,

and

making

the

data

open

source,

would

be

necessary

for

the

betterment

of

all

citizens,

not

just

in

economic

terms

but

in

opportunities

for

unexpected

discoveries.

In

one

way

or

another

I’ve

been

exploring

and

mapping

the

ocean

since

1967.

In

2013

I

mounted

the

latest

multi-beam

sonar

（多波束声纳）system

on

Nautilus,

a

large

ship

operated

by

the

Ocean

Exploration

Trust,

the

non-profit

education

and

research

organisation

I

founded.

The

set

of

instruments

can

make

highly

accurate

3D

maps,

detect

if

the

seafloor

is

hard

or

soft,

and

can

even

discover

oil

and

gas

in

the

water

column.

One

of

our

standout

missions

included

surveys

of

natural

gas

leaks

（渗漏）

in

the

Gulf

of

Mexico,

where

the

system

on

Nautilus

mapped

the

wreck

（残骸）

of

U-166,

the

only

German

U-boat

known

to

be

sunk

during

World

War

Ⅱ.

All

in

all,

Nautilus

has

helped

us

map

nearly

40,000

square

miles

（1

mile≈1.609

km）

of

seafloor—a

vast

area

the

size

of

Kentucky,

but

a

drop

in

the

bucket

compared

with

what’s

left

to

do.

Next

year’s

expeditions

include

trips

south

of

the

equator

for

the

first

time,

where

the

ocean

covers

more

than

80

percent

of

the

area

and

where

few

other

explorers

have

ever

been.#1.4【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了卫星数据虽然能够提供海洋概况，但是仍然有很多的海洋区域未被涉及，尚待探索。文章还说明了使用先进的多波束声纳系统进行海底测绘的工作，并强调了目前海底测绘工作的进展和未来的探险计划。1.What

[湖北武汉2025模拟]

It’s

been

quite

a

while

since

the

world

saw

exactly

how

deadly

these

deep-sea

voyages

can

be.

On

June

18,

2023,

the

private

submersible

（潜水器）

Titan

carried

five

men

on

a

mission

to

view

the

remains

of

the

Titanic,

which

is

about

400

miles

off

the

coast

of

Newfoundland.

The

dive

was

expected

to

take

a

few

hours

and

reach

a

depth

of

more

than

12,000

feet.

But

105

minutes

after

the

Titan

went

down

below

the

waves,

it

lost

contact.

The

US

and

Canadian

Coast

Guards

and

the

US

Navy

were

called

in

for

a

desperate

search

to

rescue

the

passengers,

only

to

discover

the

Titan

had

collapsed

inward

with

no

survivors.

The

disaster

dominated

global

news

for

weeks,
