阅读理解。      The journey two divers made some time ago to the deepest point on the earth makes us realize how
much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the
Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents (水流) or signs of life.
     It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and be easily
found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning
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 (层) of
water. In time the temperature dropped to the freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by
telephone telling 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
frightened 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 had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball 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 great
water pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water
boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were
heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up,
arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none was worse for their experience. 1. The purpose of the divers" journey to the deepest point on the earth was to find _____.[     ]
A. if there are water currents, and life in the great depths
B. if people can stand the severe cold in the great depths
C. if there are steps in the great depths
D. if the telephone works well in the great depths 2. The divers set out early in the morning so that _____. [     ]
A. they could return to the surface during the day
B. they could see at the bottom of the ocean
C. they could avoid the cold at night
D. they could stay long at the bottom 3. As the divers went down to the ocean floor, the telephone _____. [     ]
A. kept working all the time
B. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again after they reached the bottom
C. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again at 30,000 feet
D. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again when they returned to the same depth 4. On the ocean floor, the divers found that _____. [     ]
A. there was no life but some small dead sea creatures
B. fish were swimming as freely as they do near the surface
C. fish were not swimming freely in the dark water
D. fish were not swimming freely under the high water pressure

An old friend from California called from the airport (机场) to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able
to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining where my new house was, I told him
that I had left the key under the doormat (门垫). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home,
I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator.
Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some
of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When
I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had
not been able to find the key under the doormat (门垫), but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree

       Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday
when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot
(行李箱).
       Mr. Johnson"s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and
hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn"t force the
doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I
knew water would come flooding in."
       Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists
by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he
said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to
unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.
       It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the
boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It
was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.
I forced the lid down into the mud and jumped out of the ditch."
       His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was
looked after by the farmer"s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed
like hours." Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two
feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

[ ]

2. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?

[ ]

A. The hammer.

C.The screw.
D. The horn.

3. Which statement is true according to the passage?

[ ]

A. Mr. Johnson"s car stood on its boot as it fell down.
B. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
C. Mr. Johnson"s car accident was partly due to the slippery road.
D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.

4. "Finally it gave" (Paragraph 4) means that ______.

[ ]

A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end
B. At last the hammer went broken
